Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 415: Chapter 441: Preparing for Reception

Gu Junming held the flashlight, blocking Sun Chan outside. Although this was the courtyard and the possibility of bad people coming in was low, one should still be cautious. When the door opened, Ai Mei was seen slumped at their doorstep, slowly getting up while clutching the wall, tears streaming down her face in pain, her hair disheveled, and a hint of injury at the corner of her mouth. Several families upstairs were around, but none came out.

Gu Junming was no stranger to such scenes, but Sun Chan was seeing it for the first time and was startled. She hurriedly held her up, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you?"

Ai Mei forced a smile, "It’s nothing, I wanted to check the outside meter but accidentally fell."

From upstairs came Liu Gang’s voice, "Walking so carelessly, hurry and come up!"

"Got it, I’m coming up now." Ai Mei walked upstairs, each step displaying extreme pain.

Liu Gang greeted the two, "Didn’t scare you, did we? My wife didn’t do it on purpose."

"No problem." Gu Junming glanced at him, without much cheer, "You should rest early too."

The two parted ways and closed the door behind them.

Gu Junming’s expression wasn’t pleasant, lying on the bed lost in thought.

Sun Chan said, "Was Ai Mei beaten?" Having lived with beatings in her past life, she could naturally tell that Ai Mei hadn’t simply fallen. It’s likely Liu Gang avoided striking the face to prevent gossip and hit where it wouldn’t be seen. Considering her difficulty walking, Ai Mei probably hurt her waist.

Gu Junming was silent for a moment before saying, "It’s hard for an upright official to settle family matters, so I don’t know what to say."
