My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 42 - Rapist

42: Chapter 42 Rapist

42 -42 Rapist

Tang Chuxia, holding a cup to drink water, couldn’t hold back and spat it out.

What had she just heard?

“Rapist?”

She repeated it, and Zheng Duqiu nodded vigorously, “Exactly, and it was Big Treasure’s family who discovered it.

Big Treasure’s aunt went out to use the toilet and found out, getting so scared that she fainted.”

Tang Chuxia let out a sigh of relief, considering the person Gu Beihuai was, even if he was drunk, he wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.

Besides, although Big Treasure’s aunt was a widow, she was also in her thirties, and Gu Beihuai, despite his unique tastes, would not be interested in Big Treasure’s aunt.

She reassured herself, and then it hit her.

“If the rapist entered Big Treasure’s house, why are they saying it was in our courtyard?”

Zheng Duqiu knew Tang Chuxia would ask this, and pointing towards the corner of the wall, said, “Look, there are shoe prints here, your little brother preserved them.

Who would have thought the rapist was bold enough to come to our house, not afraid that your brother would catch and slash him?”

Tang Chuxia: …

She was certain those footprints were left by Gu Beihuai.

It seemed he really was drunk; otherwise, he wouldn’t have left such an obvious clue.

However, thinking he was mistaken for a rapist made her feel somewhat better.

“Exactly, my brother would definitely catch him, so he didn’t dare enter our house!”

Though she said this, Zheng Duqiu still felt uneasy, “But I’m still scared when I think about how bold that rapist was!”

Tang Chuxia did not want to continue this topic and asked instead, “Did they catch the person?”

Zheng Duqiu shook her head, “Big Treasure’s aunt only screamed after she woke up; the person had already run away!”

Not catching the person meant it was all for nothing.

At dinner, Grandmother said to Madam Tang, “Take this child to the hospital for a check-up, get a certificate stating she definitely can’t go to the countryside!

Let her rest at home, maybe she can retake the college entrance exam after the New Year?”

Grandmother was also helpless.

Tang Chuxia’s health really wasn’t good, going to school would be better for her.

Tang Chuxia got a bit excited, her hand holding the chopsticks nearly crushed them, carefully controlling her strength.

She couldn’t afford to be too conspicuous, otherwise, she would definitely be examined thoroughly.

Noticing her actions, Tang Jianbing raised an eyebrow in confusion, but didn’t say anything.

After finishing her bowl of soybean juice, Madam Tang said, “Alright then, I’ll take some time off from work later and take Xiaxia to see Hu Shuanghong for a thorough check-up to get the certificate!”

And so it was decided.

After the meal, Madam Tang cycled Tang Chuxia first to her workplace.

Madam Tang worked at the Vehicle Management Office, where bicycles also needed to be registered.

Madam Tang, as the finance director, was only busy at the beginning and the end of the month, and it was fairly relaxed most of the time.

Tang Chuxia often visited Madam Tang’s workplace; in earlier years, it was also very relaxed since bicycles couldn’t be bought without tickets, and registering them followed the same process, so everyone was quite idle.

As soon as she appeared, she was greeted by an office aunt, “Xiaxia is here, quick, quick, quick, help your aunt look at this, does this diagram seem off?”

Tang Chuxia had a knack for painting, and everyone in the office knew because Madam Tang often boasted about it.

So sometimes, when they needed to create a promotional poster, they would ask Tang Chuxia for help.

Of course, it wasn’t for free; they would give her plenty of gifts for her effort.

Tang Chuxia took a look and noticed the proportions were off.

She made some minor adjustments, and it looked much better.

Naturally, she received plenty of compliments.

Madam Tang told them she was taking Tang Chuxia to the hospital, and everyone understood what that meant and agreed that a thorough check-up was necessary.

After leaving Madam Tang’s workplace and arriving at the hospital, Madam Tang told Tang Chuxia, “When you see Aunt Hong, just do whatever she asks, and remember one thing, there’s no need to hide anything from her!”

Tang Chuxia nodded; she knew why her mother was so insistent.

Aunt Hong was Gu Beihuai’s mother, Hu Shuanghong, who was very strict about her work.

She was also highly respected for her excellent medical skills, always disliked backdoor deals, and despised fraud.

Considering Tang Chuxia’s condition, there was absolutely no need for deception.

Madam Tang was just worried that Tang Chuxia might overdo it, which prompted her to give such a stern reminder.

When they reached Hu Shuanghong’s office, she wasn’t busy and invited them to sit down.

“I’m aware of Xiaxia’s health condition.

I’ve already told you to come for a checkup so it wouldn’t lead to her being sent to the countryside!”

Although Hu Shuanghong disliked using backdoor deals, she had watched Tang Chuxia grow up, liked her a lot, and knew her health condition well — she was certainly not suited for physical labor.

Madam Tang gave a wry smile, “Who would have thought, hm?

Given that there are three soldiers in the family, I never figured it would be her turn to be registered.

I’m just being cautious.”

Hu Shuanghong grunted in acknowledgment, then had someone take Tang Chuxia for a checkup, which included some basic tests that didn’t require her to be present.

After Tang Chuxia left the office, Hu Shuanghong pulled Madam Tang aside and asked, “I heard that Xiaxia broke off her engagement with that Hu Family boy?”

Being close friends with Hu Shuanghong, Madam Tang was open about it.

After learning of the entire situation, Hu Shuanghong spat in disgust—she detested such matters the most.

“What are your thoughts about Xiaxia’s father?” By their age, they harbored no illusions about love and focused more on practical matters.

Madam Tang shook her head, “I haven’t decided yet.

I initially wanted a divorce, but he hasn’t really done anything outrageous over the years, except for that year when he passed off that girl as our child!”

Hu Shuanghong sighed, “When you get down to it, there’s really nothing much.

But isn’t that girl’s mother a handful?

Just recently, Old Gu mentioned that the girl’s father had divorced years ago!

At the time, I didn’t know about your situation, so I didn’t bring it up to you.”

A chill ran down Madam Tang’s spine.

She felt trouble might be brewing in the future.

“I’ll investigate her mother for you later, see what she’s like.

If she’s well-behaved, good, but if she’s troublesome, I’m afraid your family might face some issues!” Hu Shuanghong wasn’t being unkind—after so many years of friendship, there was no need for pretense.

Madam Tang nodded, “Thank you for your help!”

Hu Shuanghong waved a hand dismissively, “It’s nothing, really.

It’s just that I feel sorry for Xiaxia.

Emotional wounds are far worse than physical ones!”

They both understood this all too well.

Not wanting to dwell on Xiaxia’s issues, Madam Tang shifted the topic to Gu Beihuai, praising him for his earlier assistance in rescuing Tang Chuxia.

Hu Shuanghong waved it off, “Well, that was his duty, wasn’t it?

If only those two didn’t conflict so much, I’d consider asking you for a marriage connection!”

Madam Tang laughed, “Let’s not.

Xiaxia is quite delicate.

If she really married into your family, Beihuai might explode!”

“Let him explode then!

Remembering how that boy used to cry after being beaten up by your Xiaxia when they were little, I can eat two more bowls of rice!”

Madam Tang: …That’s a true mother’s love!
