Chapter 559: Liu Haizhong’s Gift Cannot Be Given Away
As time passed by and the agreed time was getting closer, I was delighted to think that she would deliver the gift as scheduled, and this way, this matter would be a complete success.
However, reality dealt Liu Haizhong a heavy blow. He no longer expected to make further progress and was content as long as he could keep his position as the team leader.
However, Liu Haizhong was extremely frustrated and helpless that he couldn't even complete such a simple task. He could only stand by the window silently, looking out the window, feeling lost in his heart, not knowing what to say.
Liu Haizhong knew that if Li Yang knew about this, he would definitely be removed from his position as team leader. By then, he had offended so many people in the workshop and would definitely be punished.
This is what Liu Hai fears most right now. He may not be able to continue working in the workshop and will have to change workshops.
At this moment, an old lady noticed something strange in his bangs. She looked at him with concern and asked, "Old Liu, aren't you also a team leader in the forging workshop? What are you afraid of?"
Liu Haizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard what Auntie said. He really couldn't understand how Auntie's brain worked and how she could say such a thing. He took a deep breath and decided not to hide it anymore. He told Auntie everything exactly as it happened.
Liu Haizhong spoke less and less confidently. After all, he was so arrogant in the Siheyuan at that time, but now he even asked for Gu Nan's help. He really didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Do you think this matter has anything to do with Gu Nan?" Liu Haizhong asked worriedly.
The auntie obviously didn't expect this matter to be so important. She hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't you go and send it off? I've said so much, but Ran Qiuye still hasn't agreed. Maybe if you go and say a few words, Gu Nan will agree."
Liu Haizhong knew that this was the only way to go. He sighed helplessly, said nothing more, and turned around to complete this difficult task.
Liu Haizhong held something tightly in his hand and hurried out the door, as if he had something urgent to do. However, an old lady next to him didn't care about it. She pouted and muttered, "What is it? Why are you in such a hurry? It's just Gu Nan, what's there to be afraid of?"
The aunt was still thinking that if she said a few harsh words to Gu Nan, Gu Nan would agree obediently and nothing would happen.
Liu Haizhong came to the door of Gu Nan's house and stood there, but he didn't step into the yard. He was a little hesitant, after all, he hadn't thought about how to face Gu Nan before coming.
Just as Liu Haizhong was about to call Gu Nan, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lao Liu, where are you going?"
Liu Haizhong was startled and turned around to see that it was Yi Zhonghai. He showed an unnatural smile on his face and quickly explained, "Oh, nothing serious, I was just going to visit a friend. But my wife suddenly had some urgent matters, so I had to go back to deal with it first."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong's expression and laughed in his heart. Of course, he knew the purpose of Liu Haizhong's coming here, but he would not let Liu Haizhong succeed so easily. So, he pretended to be ignorant and continued to ask: "Visiting friends? You are still visiting friends so late?"
Yi Zhonghai knew that Liu Haizhong must be preparing to give Gu Nan a gift. After all, when he came back, Yi Zhonghai heard his family talk about it. That was Liu Haizhong's family sending a gift, but Ran Qiuye didn't even ask for it. Now that he was holding the thing, didn't he still consider it a gift?
Liu Haizhong scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Yeah, I had an appointment to go today, but something happened and I got delayed. But it's getting late today, so I'll go tomorrow."
Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Liu Haizhong seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and walked back quickly, muttering: "Oh, I have to go back and see my wife, don't let anything happen to her."
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai could not stop him and could only watch Liu Haizhong leave. However, what Liu Haizhong did not expect was that Yi Zhonghai did not turn around and go home as he imagined, but followed him slowly.
Liu Haizhong was confused. What on earth did Yi Zhonghai want to do? He wanted to ask several times, but he swallowed the words back.
When they arrived at the backyard, Liu Haizhong hadn't said anything yet. Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Old Liu, you don't know, the deaf old lady has been coughing these past two days. I came here to see how she is doing and whether she has a cold."
Liu Haizhong didn't want to think about anything now and could only go back first. It seemed that he could only deal with this matter tomorrow morning. After all, if he couldn't do it well tomorrow morning and Li Yang came to find him at the steel mill, he would be really finished.
When he returned to his home, an old lady came over and looked at the things in Liu Haizhong's hand: "What's wrong? Did Gu Nan not accept it? It seems that this Gu Nan really doesn't take you seriously."
Liu Haizhong really didn't know what to say, so he could only pour himself a glass of wine and started drinking.
The aunt also knew that this matter was indeed difficult to handle, so she didn't say anything.
But Liu Guangtian was a man without tact. Seeing there was an egg in front of Liu Haizhong, he wanted to grab a piece of the egg, but he didn't expect that this would immediately arouse Liu Haizhong's anger.
Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangtian and said, "You do nothing all day long but eat. Get out of here and don't eat dinner tonight."
Liu Guangtian was about to go into the house, but he was really a little hungry. He was about to say something, but Liu Haizhong directly pulled out his belt and started hitting Liu Guangtian.
The aunt knew that if Liu Haizhong couldn't vent his anger, she really didn't know what to say, so she just kept silent.
Liu Guangfu sat aside and didn't dare to say a word. After all, if he spoke, he would really be beaten, so he decided not to say anything.
Liu Guangtian could only beg for mercy, but he looked at the ground fiercely: "Liu Haizhong, I am young now and you can hit me, but when I grow up, I will definitely punish you severely, let's see what you can do."
Liu Guangtian knew that he needed Liu Haizhong's care now, so he didn't say anything.
