NovelEnglishChapter 432: Chapter 458: Busy and Hasty
So when the people cto install the telephone, the entire courtyard was stirred up. Everyone was filled with
various feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Zhuang Lin hinted that Sun Chan was showing off.
"So many leaders’ homes haven't had telephones installed, yet they're the exception? Isn't there a public phone
downstairs?"
Her husband glared at her: "Are they the sas you? She has legitimate business to take care of, unlike you,
always making idle chatter. I've told you so many times, stop gossiping about others for no reason, haven't you
learned? Now hurry up and make dinner!"
Zhuang Lin was both angry and frustrated, thinking her husband’s temper had becquite unreasonable
recently. Whenever she mentioned anything about Sun Chan, he would lose his temper! But she didn’t dare to
say much more.
Zhuang Lin stormed off to the kitchen, while her husband stood by the window, thinking to himself, I must
maintain a good relationship with Gu Junming. I'm at this age, and if | don’t get promoted, | might have to retire
in a couple of years. But Gu Junming is thriving, and if he remembersand givesa chance for promotion,
that would be great.
Meanwhile, Liu Gang upstairs, hearing the commotion downstairs, also felt complex emotions, thinking he could
never measure up to them in any situation.
The rumors about Sun Chan had been quite bad recently, but just as he thought about taking advantage of
them, the buzz about Sun Chan opening a store quelled everything. Everyone knew she had a clothing store.
Although Sun Chan always claimed she was just helping someone out, no one believed her. At the very least, she
was a co-owner and was making a lot of money. Moreover, the parents of that big boss weren't ordinary people;
the father was a retired military leader, and the mother was a well-known surgeon.
Who dared to spread those rumors anymore?
Liu Gang lay in bed feeling extremely upset.
He had always been capable, with experience and age not lacking, yet he couldn't get promoted!
During the recent flood relief efforts, such a great opportunity, but he wasted it. The more he thought about it,
the more depressed he became.
As for Sun Chan, having the phone installed didn’t affect her much; she only had it installed because she needed
i)
You can’t stand it? Ha, what does that have to do with me.
But she really didn’t want to live in this neighborhood, wishing she could move out as soon as possible. She
didn’t want to live here anymore.

Gu Junming, however, wasn’t too keen on moving: "We just moved here, it’s not good to leave too soon, let's
endure it for two more years."
Having the leadership arrange housing for you is a favor, but wanting to leave after just a few days isn't
appropriate.
Sun Chan said, "Okay. Can we move out within two years?"
"Sure," Gu Junming replied with a smile, "I too have to work hard; once | get promoted, we can naturally live
somewhere better."
After getting Sun Chan's hphone number, Bai Fanglan left, determined to find a way to meet Sun Chan.
Yuan Bing, that bastard, was pushing too hard.
If she didn’t hurry, who knew what she would say. She really didn't want to lose her current job. Bai Fanglan went
hwith the srestless mind, feeling utterly unsettled.
She stared at the phone in front of her for a long tbefore making the call, but no one answered. She hung up,
resting on the sofa with her eyes closed, not knowing whether to feel disappointed or relieved. But sooner or
later, she would have to do it.
Sun Chan wasn’t home; she had been quite busy recently. Yang Hongying’s illness hadn't improved, so after
class, Sun Chan would go to take care of her and also help look after the child. At night, she would go hto
cook for Gu Junming and work on her drawings, truly busy to the point of her feet barely touching the ground.
That day, she hurried over to Yang Hongying’s hright after class and opened the door to find Wang Guihua
there. Sun Chan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Auntie, you're here."
Wang Guihua grunted, somewhat displeased. Although she wasn’t Gu Junming’s biological mother, she had been
married for many years, so why couldnt Sun Chan just call her mom? But it was clear that Sun Chan purposely
kept a distance from her, not wanting to get close at all.
Since Sun Chan didn’t call her mom, Wang Guihua couldn't act like a mother-in-law, which made her feel even
more indignant. She glared at Sun Chan's back, twisted her body, and went to the main room to look after the
child.
Sun Chan first checked on Yang Hongying, who was much better but still coughing and looking like skin and
bones.
"How are you doing?" Sun Chan touched her forehead.
"I don’t have a fever anymore. You don’t need to ctomorrow," Yang Hongying said, feeling embarrassed. She
had exhausted Sun Chan over the past few days. She didn’t dare leave the child in her own room, fearing
infection. She was anxious too, wanting to get better quickly, but the more anxious she got, the longer it took.
Sun Chan said, "It's no problem. What do you want to eat tonight? How about winter melon soup with a bit of
shrimp? It’s light and nutritious."
Yang Hongying quickly nodded, "Anything's fine, thank you." She hesitated and added in a low voice, "I don’t
trust my mother-in-law to look after the child. Could you keep an eye on things? Gu Juntao will be back soon."
Sun Chan had heard that the incident that scared the child was indeed caused by the mother-in-law. She agreed.
She took a basin and started shelling green beans, sitting just across from the main room, perfectly positioned to
see Wang Guihua watching the child.
Fortunately, Wang Guihua didn’t like the child at all and didn’t pick him up. The little one lay quietly in the small
bed, sleeping peacefully.
When Wang Guihua looked up and saw Sun Chan, she instantly got angry. Was she being watched?
"What are you looking at?" she said with a stern face.
Sun Chan continued shelling the beans, smiling, "I just happen to be sitting here. Auntie, are you staying for
dinner?"
"No need," Wang Guihua said with a serious face, "How can | eat the food you cook?"

Wang Guihua looked down and said, "lI won't eat. Ill just wait for my son to get back, see him, and then leave."
"It’s fine, it's just a meal nothing more. Auntie, do you like winter melon soup? | can make sfor you," Sun

A widow is one thing, but to have a daughter and not be able to have more, and now being sickly, she really
couldn't stand her.
At this moment, the child on the bed suddenly whimpered and began to roll over, almost falling off.
Wang Guihua didn’t notice, but Sun Chan did, giving a startled cry and rushing in to catch the child in her arms.
