Li Mu said, "Just kidding. My house isn't even finished being renovated yet, how could I possibly invite you for a drink? Unless I go to your house?"

Gan Hong's face turned even redder.

Li Mu said, "Ms. Gan Hong, I don't mean anything by it. I'm just a little busy and would like to ask for your help. Let's have dinner together tomorrow, it's on me, and we can chat while we eat."

Seeing the other party's ill intentions, Gan Hong was about to refuse.

Li Mu gave her a few meaningful glances, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she spoke again: "Madam Yu, you don't want your husband to know about you..."

Gan Hong could only stand there, looking conflicted.

Li Mu laughed heartily: "Alright! See you tomorrow, my Ms. Gan Hong, Mrs. Yu."

After saying that, he turned and left gracefully.

Chapter 501 Life's Tragedy: Yu Huanshui

On the other hand, since traffic jams are common on rainy days, Yu Huanshui, having promised his wife to pick up the children, has to ask for leave and leave a little earlier.

However, having been scolded for being late this morning, asking for leave again would probably be...

However, considering that he had already made a boast and his son was still waiting, he gritted his teeth and knocked on Zhao Juemin's office door.

Zhao Juemin looked up at him and asked, "Yu Huanshui, what do you want now?"

Yu Huanshui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, I'd like to ask for leave."

Zhao Juemin looked up at him and asked, "What kind of leave are you asking for?"

Yu Huanshui said, "It's raining outside, there will definitely be traffic jams, I want to leave work early to pick up my son."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Juemin immediately flew into a rage, banging on the table and saying, "You were late this morning, and now you're asking for leave again. You think you can take all the days off, being late and leaving early?"

"Get out! No!"

Yu Huanshui whispered, "Boss, it's not..."

Zhao Juemin said, "It's nothing! Do you think the company is yours to come and go as you please?"

Yu Huanshui: "I..."

Zhao Juemin said, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean'... Look at the state you've become, you still have the nerve to ask for leave."

He pointed towards the large office and said, "I remember Wu Antong used to be your apprentice, right? Look at how he's doing, and look at how you're doing. You're getting worse and worse, and you still have the nerve to ask for leave."

"Go back, this leave can't be approved."

Yu Huanshui's face flushed red and then paled, before he finally looked up and continued, "But, boss, I need to pick up my son. Since his mother wasn't there to pick him up, no one will be able to. If you don't agree, then I'll..."

Zhao Juemin slammed his hand on the table: "So what... Does the employment contract say you have to pick up your child? You can leave if you want, but write your resignation letter and you can leave now, or go back to where you came from."

Yu Huanshui clenched his fists tightly, wanting to throw a punch, but he chickened out and slunk out of the office, hiding in the bathroom, where he sat on the toilet and grieved.

……

After working until the end of the day, Yu Huanshui rushed out of the company and waited for a long time before finally hailing a taxi. As is typical for the capital city, the roads were once again congested.

After being stuck in traffic for a long time, we finally arrived at the school gate. Under a pavilion, my son Yu Chen stood there all alone. As soon as he saw Yu Huanshui, he burst into tears.

……

Gan Hong returned home, her mind in turmoil, especially the thought of being filmed with her first love in the car. Although they hadn't done anything inappropriate, their behavior was undeniably ambiguous, and anyone who saw the video wouldn't believe they were innocent.

My mind was in a jumble for a long time, and before I knew it, I had been sitting there blankly for quite a while. I checked the time; my son would usually be home by now, so why hadn't he come back yet?

I sent a text message to Yu Huanshui, and he just replied that there was a traffic jam and he would be home soon.

Another half hour passed, and seeing her son soaked to the bone, Gan Hong suddenly became furious.

"Yu Huanshui, is this how you pick up your son? If you don't have the ability, just say you can't. Making your son stand in the rain for so long, were you doing this on purpose?"

While making cold medicine for his son, Yu Huanshui replied, "Traffic jam! We're stuck in traffic."

Gan Hong asked, "Didn't you tell me to ask for leave in advance to pick up our son? Did you ask?"

Yu Huanshui lied without hesitation: "I really did invite them, but I was unlucky and got stuck on the way. I didn't want this to happen!"

Gan Hong looked at him with some skepticism, knowing that Yu Huanshui was prone to lying, and didn't quite believe him.

"Yu Huanshui, I don't care whether you invited him or not, and I don't know if you're telling the truth or not. But if Yu Chen gets sick, I'll never forgive you!"

"Give me the medicine." With that, she angrily took the prepared medicine and left.

Looking at Gan Hong's angry expression, Yu Huanshui felt a little guilty. If the family had a car, Gan Hong could drive to pick up her son, and she wouldn't have to work so hard, and this wouldn't have happened.

Thinking of the car, Yu Huanshui remembered that he actually had the money to buy one, but he had lent it to his friend Lü Fumeng.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he followed Gan Hong into his son's room and said, "Gan Hong, let me buy you a car."

Gan Hong didn't want to hear the word "car" right now. What happened during the day made her feel guilty whenever she heard the word. She turned to look at Yu Huanshui and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu Huanshui said, "It doesn't mean anything, I just think you really like cars!"

These words left Gan Hong momentarily stunned, even making her suspect that Yu Huanshui knew about what happened that afternoon; otherwise, why would he bring up the "car" for no apparent reason? She had been sitting in her first boyfriend's car when Yu Huanshui called that afternoon; what did this mean?

Knowing what happened that afternoon, he deliberately used words to mock her for being vain, for flirting with others just because they have cars, and for liking people with cars.

Her mind was a mess for a moment. She didn't know what Yu Huanshui meant by saying that. Buying a car? She didn't believe it. As the family's financial manager, did the family have the means to buy a car?

She steeled herself and looked at Yu Huanshui. Seeing that her husband's expression was normal and he looked serious, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you have money to buy a car? Why don't you just say you're buying a plane!"

Yu Huanshui said, "I really want to buy a car with you."

Gan Hong ignored Yu Huanshui and turned to her son guiltily: "Son, come on... drink your medicine."

Seeing that Gan Hong was completely ignoring him, Yu Huanshui opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't. Perhaps he should choose a car first and give his wife a surprise.

……

On the other side, after parting ways with Gan Hong, Li Mu left the residential building with a smile and drove home.

His girlfriend, Xiao Fei, had already ordered takeout and was waiting for him to eat. Sure enough, it was impossible to expect this big-breasted, brainless girlfriend to become virtuous and capable, both in public and in the kitchen.

It's already nice that I can order takeout and wait for him to eat together.

Fortunately, Li Mu didn't have any expectations in that regard. It wasn't like he was going to marry her; as long as she was pretty and had a good figure, that was enough.

While eating, his girlfriend acted coquettishly.

"Dawei, I've been looking forward to this Chanel bag for so long! I checked the weather forecast, and the rain will stop tomorrow. Will you come with me?"

She grabbed Li Mu's arm, pouted, and started to act coquettishly, refusing to give up until he agreed.

Li Mu said with a hint of helplessness, "Okay... I already agreed, I didn't say I wouldn't go with you."

Xiao Fei immediately beamed and kissed Li Mu on the cheek: "Thank you, Oppa! Mwah!"

After dinner, Li Mu went online to check the news and information, and before he knew it, it was past ten o'clock.

Li Mu's girlfriend was a bit clingy and kept pestering him, so he had no choice but to put down his phone and teach her a lesson.

……

The next day, Li Mu got up early, finished his morning exercise, and returned home. His girlfriend was also up. After they ate breakfast together, Li Mu picked up his car keys to leave, and his girlfriend quickly followed, asking, "Where are you going?"

Li Mu said, "Isn't there an apartment in Beiyuan Residential Area that's being renovated? I'll go take a look."

His girlfriend quickly grabbed her bag and chased after him, saying, "I'm going too! Let's go together! I was involved in the design of this house..."

Li Mu nodded and did not refuse.

This is also a famous scene in the show: he enters with his young girlfriend, only to encounter Yu Huanshui, who is being bothered by construction noise, coming up to argue with him…

Actually, it doesn't matter whether he goes today or not. After all, this scene is his first appearance in the show, and it wouldn't be bad for him to experience it. Besides, it's a good opportunity to get to know Yu Huanshui, which will make things easier in the future.

……

On the other hand, it was Sunday, a day when I could finally relax at home and not have to go to work. But then, early in the morning, just past eight o'clock, the noise from the upstairs renovation started up again.

He had heard this noise many times and complained to the property management several times, but it was no use.

Unexpectedly, it happened again. Coincidentally, I was still angry about what happened yesterday, which caused me to get a sore throat and toothache this morning, making my mood even worse.

So, mustering his courage, he went upstairs to argue with them.

Because of a toothache, and with a peppercorn still in my mouth, I stormed upstairs to the apartment where they were renovating. I didn't see the homeowner, and the place was in complete chaos.

He could only shout at the oldest person, "Hey...hey...stop, stop!"

The middle-aged man stood up and asked, "What is it?"

Yu Huanshui said, "It's not good to do renovations on a rest day, it's making too much noise and disturbing our rest."

The middle-aged man said, "Boss, we're just employees, we don't have days off! We rely on this to earn money to support our families."

Yu Huanshui said, "You don't have days off, but we do! You're doing renovations, but there are people living upstairs, downstairs, and in the neighborhood. You can't disturb our rest."

"You can't do renovations on weekends, did you know that?"

The middle-aged man said, "Nobody said that! The property management told us that we could start renovations normally after 8 a.m., and we complied."

Yu Huanshui's teeth ached even more: "How can you listen to the property management! They're completely incompetent. Did your boss bribe them? I've complained so many times, but nobody cares. I have to come up here myself to complain."

The middle-aged man said, "Boss, we don't know anything about the situation you're describing. We're just here to do the renovations as instructed. If you have any questions, you can go find the boss or the homeowner."
