From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

She could hold back at first, but later she burst into tears, with a hidden tremor and resentment in her words.

Li Chengye was very surprised. In his memory, Hu Xiuqin was just a somewhat coquettish wife. There was no communication between the two of them, and they didn't spend much time together. He didn't know why she was so excited.

Could it be that Hu Xiuqin really liked the original owner? But didn't she remarry not long after the original owner died? From what Li's mother said before, she didn't have any lingering feelings at all. It couldn't be that Li's mother lied to him. He didn't think so. And didn't the Hu family tell Hu Xiuqin that he was still alive?

He was able to hold on, but his mind was full of thoughts. The man who was supporting Hu Xiuqin was almost mad. Where did this pretty boy come from? Did they think he was dead?

He pulled Hu Xiuqin into his arms, his eyes fell on Li Chengye, he suppressed his anger, forced a smile, pretended nothing happened and said: "Xiuqin, who is this? You two seem to know each other well?"

Li Chengye didn't know what to say, and he felt even more embarrassed when he heard the man's words.

Hu Xiuqin seemed to have just realized that there was another person beside her. Her body froze, and before her brain could react, her body unconsciously struggled out of the man's arms.

Unfortunately, the man had anticipated her body's reaction, and he had already used a lot of strength, so the woman's actions were in vain, and she was still held tightly by the man.

The man looked at the woman in his arms tenderly, holding her tightly in his arms. He smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Did the child bother you?"

His voice was gentle, and he seemed not to notice the discomfort of the woman in his arms. He still looked caring, but his eyes were dark and gloomy, and it was obvious that his heart was very turbulent.

"I... I..." The woman seemed to have just realized her situation, and she was trembling a little. Her lips moved and her hands were on her belly, as if she wanted to draw strength from it.

The man just looked at the woman in his arms, waiting for his answer.

Hu Xiuqin finally spoke, "He is Li Chengye, my ex-husband."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's face immediately became ugly, and his eyes looking at Li Chengye became more fierce.

Li Chengye looked at the interaction between the two and couldn't help but frown. This man didn't look like an honest man, and the current situation made him feel very uncomfortable, so he thought about leaving.

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I won't delay you. I'll leave first."

Although the woman in front of him was his ex-wife, he actually had no feelings for her. In addition, she had remarried and was about to have a new child, so it was better to stay away from her. The best result would be that they would not recognize each other when they met in the future, and would not disturb each other, just as if they had never known each other.

Li Chengye wanted to leave, but the man in front of him was already unhappy because of Li Chengye's previous threats. Now that he knew about their relationship, he was naturally uncomfortable. How could he let him leave so easily?

He blocked Li Chengye's way with a fake smile, "So you are Li Chengye! I am Xiuqin's newlywed husband. I have to thank you. If the news of your sacrifice had not been reported, how could I be with him!"

He said thank you, but his expression did not say so. His eyes were full of malice and complacency.

Li Chengye was not angry at all, but said calmly: "Then congratulations to you."
