Yonghe Road

Chapter 75 Where is Home?
After finally seeing Wang Zian and Zhong Ziqi off, Lei Sheng was exhausted. He threw himself onto the large bed in his room and continued to lie there in despair. But before he had even laid there for three minutes, the sound of a car approaching downstairs filled the air. Lei Sheng sat up in annoyance. Was this Wang Zian and Zhong Ziqi ever going to stop? He had already said that no matter what the relationship between the people who beat him and Chunshui was, he would not pursue Chunshui's case. Who made him... who made him her bootlicker?

Lei Sheng was extremely angry. He felt that he was a coward and was being rejected by others.

He traveled thousands of miles to the city where she was holding a concert, and spent a huge amount of money to prepare 9999 roses for her support. He was happy for her fame and cheered for her. He just loudly confessed his love to her on the stage at her concert. He told her to be bold in her career, and he would always be the man behind her. He would always wait for her in Baile Village, and as long as she was willing, their engagement would be valid forever... Then, after the concert, he was beaten by a group of people, and they were so cruel that it was hard not to suspect that this was related to Chunshui.

But Wang Zian said that it could also be the spontaneous behavior of other fans at the concert.

Anyway, he had no chance to ask Zhong Chunshui for clarification. He had been beaten like a pig's head. How could he have the nerve to stand in front of Chunshui? Besides, his name was no longer Zhong Chunshui, but Yi Chi.

"Mr. Lei——"

While Lei Sheng was sitting on the bed and daydreaming, Lin Dangdang's voice came from downstairs.

How did this guy end up at the beekeeping base?
What good can come from this guy?
Lei Sheng had made up his mind not to open the door for Lin Dangdang, but he heard a child babbling downstairs: Yingying and Niuniu are here too!

Lei Sheng couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurried downstairs to open the door. Niu Niu had been stung by a bee at the beekeeping base last time, and there couldn't be another accident.

As soon as the door opened, the whole villa was immediately filled with Lin Dangdang's greetings, which seemed to be a flustered mess. "Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Lei, such a handsome young man was beaten like this, damn Chunshui..."

Lei Sheng looked behind Lin Dangdang and saw Lin Yingying walking in holding Niuniu. Her eyes were red and swollen, which surprised him.

While Lin Dangdang was in the bathroom, Lei Sheng hurriedly said to her, "Sister-in-law, don't cry for me. It's just a minor injury. I'm fine. I'm very strong..."

Lei Sheng's words made Lin Yingying stunned, but Lin Dangdang had already come out of the bathroom, and she didn't know how to explain anything to Lei Sheng. She was crying not for him, but for herself and her child.

Looking at Lei Sheng's swollen and bruised face, Lin Yingying felt guilty for being so cold and indifferent. Lei Sheng had been so kind to them, and yet she didn't feel sad for him when he was beaten. She consoled herself by thinking she hadn't shed tears for him because she hadn't seen his plight before. If she had, she would have cried, right?
At this moment, I have seen...

Lin Yingying looked at Lei Sheng's still swollen eyes and bruised cheeks, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Lei, look how much our Yingying loves you. Chunshui hired someone to beat you, but she cried for you..."

Lin Dangdang's boastful and high-pitched voice embarrassed Lin Yingying, but Lei Sheng had already thoughtfully handed her a tissue and made tea for them. He poured the scalding hot tea into the cup in front of Lin Yingying. Worried about scalding the child, Lei Sheng took the child from Lin Yingying's arms. Seeing Lei Sheng's injured face, the child didn't frighten him. Instead, he babbled in baby talk and laughed at him.

This scene surprised Lin Yingying so much that she couldn't help but smile.

From Lin Dangdang's perspective, Lei Sheng and Lin Yingying holding the child look like a family of three. What a harmonious and loving picture!

As the eldest brother-in-law, he was very satisfied at this moment and started to criticize her again: "Boss Lei, a woman as vicious as Zhong Chunshui is not worthy of you. You can't let her off easily this time. You must hold her accountable. She's famous, a singer, and she must have a lot of money. You must make her compensate you and make her pay the price for her actions. Otherwise, is there any law left?"

Lin Dangdang was speaking righteously and indignantly. Lin Yingying interrupted him and said to Lei Sheng, "Did Chunshui really hire someone to do this?"

Lei Sheng asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"Uncle Dingwu went to the Zhong family to make trouble. Now the whole village knows that Chunshui hired someone to beat you..." After listening to Lin Yingying's explanation, Lei Sheng felt helpless: "Actually, I'm not sure either."

Lin Yingying perked up and asked him, "So you won't report the case, nor will you sue Chunshui, right?"

"Yingying, you can't be so disloyal..." Seeing that Lin Yingying actually pleaded for Zhong Chunshui, Lin Dangdang immediately stopped her.

Lin Yingying glanced at Lin Dangdang resentfully and muttered, "Chunshui is my sister-in-law."

Lin Dangdang was unhappy. "What sister-in-law? You are about to divorce Zhong Ziwang, where does the sister-in-law come from? From now on, Boss Lei will be our family..."

"Sister-in-law, are you going to divorce Ziwang?" Lei Sheng looked at Lin Yingying. Lin Yingying felt helpless: "Lei Sheng, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. He likes to make a fuss and talk nonsense."

Lin Dangdang was even more unhappy. "Yingying, you're my biological sister, so I'm saying this on your behalf. Divorce Zhong Ziwang, but don't let the Zhong family get away with it. Zhong Chunshui is famous, and the Zhong family is very rich now. Those big stars make more in a day than ordinary people like us can make in a lifetime. You must let her compensate you on behalf of her brother. If the Zhong family wants a child, let Zhong Chunshui pay for it! And don't let her get away with paying for Mr. Lei's medical expenses!"

Lin Dangdang kept talking about money, and Lin Yingying really wanted to hide in a hole. Fortunately, Lei Sheng knew Lin Dangdang very well, so he pretended to talk to a child and hinted at Lin Dangdang. Lei Sheng said, "Niuniu, as human beings, there's nothing wrong with liking money, but you have to earn it with your own hands, not by calculating others..."

Lin Dangdang wasn't a fool; how could he not understand Lei Sheng's ridicule? But he always had a good attitude and never knew what "embarrassment" meant. He chuckled at Lei Sheng, grabbed the teacup on the table, and drank it.

So hot!

The scalding teacup in Lin Dangdang's hand was thrown out, shattering on the ground with a bang. Lin Dangdang stuck out her tongue, which had almost been burned, and panted like a dog, looking extremely embarrassed.

Coincidentally, the baby in her arms laughed, and Lei Sheng and Lin Yingying couldn't help laughing.

"Our Niuniu is so smart!" Lei Sheng pinched the little face of the baby in his arms, and the haze of the past few days was cleared away a lot at this moment.

……

……

Chunshui returned to Baile Village in the second half of the year. There was no homecoming glory, only a languid pace and a heart full of exhaustion. Standing alone on Chang'an Avenue, she was stunned by the sight before her. Chang'an Avenue, where she had lived for thirty years, had long been torn down by excavators, transforming into a construction site. And the original inhabitants of Baile Village were nowhere to be found.

Chunshui did not call Zhong Ziqi or Huifang, but habitually dialed Wang Zian.

Wang Zian's surprised voice came from the phone: "Chun Shui, are you home?"

Yes, she went home, but where was her home?

Wang Zian said, "I was busy at the village committee just now and couldn't leave. You can come directly to the village committee to find me."
