*Wearing 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. 

He Jihong was still cursing in the room, it looked like she could curse for a whole day. Chu Qiao felt better and went to change the water for the rose. It seemed to be even more beautiful than last night.

She went to the drawer to find an aspirin and put one inside the vase. The book said that putting an aspirin when raising flowers could make them bloom more beautifully and last for a longer time. 

In the compound

Old Mr. Gu got up very early, and after a round of boxing in the yard, he took a sprinkler to water the flowers. The weather was hot, so he had to water the flowers every day, treating it as an exercise. 

“Yesterday you said that there was a rose that would bloom today, where is it?” 

Lin Yulan came out with a pair of scissors in her hand and asked with a smile.

“It’s right here. I saw it yesterday and it will definitely bloom today. Eh…… where did it go? Obviously it was here yesterday.” 

The old man eagerly searched for the flower, but after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find the blooming rose. Instead, he saw a fresh broken branch, and his face turned dark immediately. He gritted his teeth and cursed,”Which bastard stole laozi’s1 flower?!” 

1Laozi (老子) : I (used arrogantly or jocularly) 

It was definitely not someone from the compound. The gate of the compound was locked, and no one could not come in. It was definitely a work from an insider. The old man soon became suspicious. Last night, his youngest son suddenly ran back and left without saying a few words.

“That little bastard, laozi will beat him to death!” 

Old Mr. Gu’s face became even more ugly. It was definitely his youngest son who stole it. He said that how could it be possible for this bastard to be so kind and ran back home to drink with him at night. Damn, it turned out that he wanted to steal the flower! 

Lin Yulan thought deeply, “Does Xiao Ye have a girlfriend? Just ask him to come back for dinner in a few days, and you can ask him.” 

Her son didn’t like flowers since he was young, but now he suddenly came back home to pick flowers. It must be a gift for a girl.

Lin Yulan felt extremely guilty towards Gu Ye because of Xu Bilian’s matter. It was all her fault that she wronged her son. If her son really had a girl that he liked, then as long as the girl’s family background was good enough, with decent character and appearance, then she would definitely agree. 

“He just got divorced, where did he get a girlfriend from? You are thinking too much.” 

Old Mr. Gu rolled his eyes, and continued to water the flowers. But he was muttering in his head, did the bastard really have a girlfriend? 

He thought of Gu Ye being so active in finding the evidence for divorce, his heart skipped a beat, and suddenly it became clear. He threw the sprinkler and cursed, “Damn bastard, to actually dare fooling laozi!” 

It was definitely because this brat had someone else in his heart, that he was eager for the divorce, so he can vacate the position for his beloved sweetheart. 

Xu Bilian and Gu Jianshe were also bad, they did such shameless things. No wonder Xiao Ye wanted to divorce. However, just who was this brat’s sweetheart? No one knows, not even gossip came out. 

“You call that brat and ask, which family does that girl belong to!” The old man stopped watering the flowers and he felt so uncomfortable. He wished he could ask his youngest son for the clarification now. 

Lin Yulan refused and said awkwardly, “Xiao Ye ignores me. It’s better for you to call him.”

Her son had never been close to her, and she couldn’t even talk to him. Lin Yulan was a little afraid of her son.

Old Mr. Gu glared angrily and went to make a phone call by himself. Gu Ye lived in a machine tool factory, there was a phone under the family dormitory building. There was someone who was specially guarding it, and he could hear it with just a shout. 

Gu Ye was making breakfast for Zhou Dabao and his younger brother. He cooked white porridge and went to the canteen to buy steamed buns. As soon as the white porridge was cooked, he heard someone calling his name from downstairs, “Section chief Gu, a phone call.” 

“Dabao, Xiaobao, eat breakfast.” 

Gu Ye ran down quickly, and just as he picked up the phone, he heard his old man roar like thunder, “Damn brat, did you steal my rose?!”
