“That’s right, the Gu family must be united. You both as uncle and nephew have to make progress in the machine tool factory together, helping each other, and would definitely never have internal strife!”

Old Mr. Gu’s face looked very pleased. Old Mr. Gu felt that after his youngest son joined the work, he became more stable.

Then when he thought that his most proud grandson had actually put such a big green hat1 on his youngest son, Old Mr. Gu’s heart felt more guilty. He angrily glared at Gu Jianshe and smashed another teacup at him.

1Wearing green hat : is an expression that Chinese use when a woman cheats on her husband or boyfriend, because the phrase sounds similar to the word for cuckold. 

“You damn bastard, kneel down!”

Gu Jianshe was so frightened that he knelt down immediately. His knees were exactly pressed on the porcelain piece, and it hurted so much that he shivered with pain. But he didn’t dare to move a bit, so he gritted his teeth and held on.

“Let me ask you, what happened between you and Xu Bilian?” The old man asked sharply.

“Yeye2, The relationship between me and Xu Bilian is innocent. We don’t have any relationship.” Gu Jianshe’s face was pale, and the sweat dripped down to the ground. His knees were so painful that they were about to break because of the pain. 

2Ye ye (爷爷) : paternal grandfather 

“Dad, Jianshe has already found a good partner, and it is He Jihong’s stepdaughter, Chu Qiao. They are going to get a certificate in October. I have already made the arrangement with Jihong. Why do you have to be so angry?” Zhu Yuzhen was so anxious and worried about her son. She also didn’t know why the old man suddenly got so angry.

Gu Ye was originally sitting and watching a good show, but when he heard Chu Qiao’s name, he immediately sat up straight and glared at Gu Jianshe viciously.

This bastard actually dared to think about his little fairy? Did he eat bear heart and leopard gall?3

3eat bear heart and leopard gall (idiom): to pluck up some courage.

“Dad, Jianshe and Xu Bilian have cuckolded me? No wonder Xu Bilian wants to divorce me every day. I really didn’t expect that the one who pried the corner4 behind my back would be my dear good nephew!”

4Pried the corner : the meaning is to steal someone away. 

Gu Ye said with a sad face. In the past, he only knew how to confront the old man and fell into Gu Jianshe’s many tricks. Only after he joined Team B did he realize that it was necessary to have some strategies or schemes and still have to act pitifully to deal with this family’s troubles. These were taught by the old team leader, and he is also the biological father of Zhou Dabao brothers.

The old team leader taught him a lot of things, which included life-saving skills and life experience.

In the end, he (the old team leader) even lost his life in order to save him (Gu Ye). Gu Ye felt that he really owed the old team leader for all of his life. 

“I didn’t, Yeye, I really didn’t. Xu Bilian and I are really innocent.” Gu Jianshe gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. After all, he already got all of those photos in his hand. Even the negatives were already in his hand too. 

He was not worried that Gu Ye would leave some negatives. After all, his uncle was really naive. If he said that he wouldn’t keep them, then he would definitely not.

And it was also because of this honest character, that he (Gu Ye) had been tricked so many times by him (Gu Jianshe) since childhood. Even after he suffered the loss many times, he still refused to change, he was really such a fool. 

“If you and Xu Bilian are really innocent, then how did the child in Xu Bilian’s belly come from?” Old Mr. Gu asked Gu Jianshe angrily.

He also saw the note. Old man He showed it to him. It made him become so angry that his blood vessels almost burst out. To think that a nephew would steal the uncle’s wife, it was really so embarrassing to say it out.

“It must be my little uncle’s baby. After all, he is Xu Bilian’s husband. So it’s very normal for Xu Bilian to have uncle’s baby in her belly. What does it have to do with me!” Gu Jianshe shouted out loud showing how he was wronged. 

“Isn’t it just like that? Dad, you really can’t wronged Jianshe.” Zhu Yuzhen also followed the words.

Gu Ye snorted, and said in a loud voice, “I haven’t even touched Xu Bilian’s fingers. How could she have my baby in her belly?”

“How is it possible? After all you two are sleeping in the same bed, can you really endure it?  You also have been married for half a year, who would believe you when you say that?” Zhu Yuzhen sneered and spoke sarcastically. Such a young and vigorous man, how could it be possible for him to endure not sleeping with his wife?

Moreover, Xu Bilian’s appearance was not bad, and she also had a voluptuous body. All of the young men who were young and vigorous were definitely like such a girl. She didn’t believe Gu Ye’s nonsense.
