Beijing.
In the hospital.
Su Yuan saw his long-pursued girlfriend co to visit him, and he was overjoyed.
"Chen i, you’re here."
This woman was from the military.
She was key to whether the Su Family could stabilize their situation in Beijing.
If his grandfather were still alive, he wouldn’t have had to pursue this woman so humbly.
Unfortunately, his father died before his grandfather could arrange a position for him.
His dad was awkwardly stuck in the military, not fitting in completely, which ant the family could not perfectly transition from the grandfather’s legacy.
The whole family could only hope that Su Yuan could demonstrate his own strength and get into the military’s sight.
It is said that every year, the military selects so talented newcors as fresh blood.
Like Li Yan, who erged exceptionally among the Special Forces, he could marry a girl from a major compound and then, arranged by his wife’s family, sail smoothly through his military career.
"Are you okay?" Chen i and Su Yuan were dating, but they had not reached the stage of discussing marriage.
After all, she couldn’t just decide to marry without her family’s consent.
The Chen Family might not concern themselves with their daughter’s romantic affairs, but when it ca to marriage, they definitely wouldn’t be careless.
Su Yuan could have stayed at the military region hospital, but he deliberately took leave to be treated outside, firstly to see his girlfriend and secondly because his ongoing resentnt towards Gu Feng kept him up at night, the more he thought about it, the angrier he beca!
Just being overshadowed by Gu Feng was not the issue, but it all happened in front of Lin Yue, which made him extrely upset and embarrassed!
After all, she was the woman the Su Family had once rejected!
Now the man she found was bullying him right to his face, and Su Yuan couldn’t swallow this insult.
He wondered if he could use his girlfriend’s family connections to gain an advantage for himself!
Hearing his girlfriend’s concerned question, Su Yuan ca up with a plan, "During training this ti, I was ambushed."
"Who?" Chen i frowned. "What did your instructor say?"
Su Yuan, "He told not to look for trouble."
He secretly watched his girlfriend’s facial expressions, checking if she was getting emotional for him.
Chen i frowned, "What does that an? Does the other person have a solid background?"
Although she could not intervene in internal matters, if the other party was behaving unreasonably and relying on their background, she would at least want to inquire about and test their strength!
Su Yuan sighed sentintally, "Do you rember the marriage arrangent I told you my family had set up for ?"
Chen i nodded, "The woman from Jiangcheng who was dead set on you?"
Su Yuan nodded, "Yes, just because I rejected her family’s marriage proposal, she beca furiously embarrassed, found a man with an unknown background, and coincidentally, during our sparring, this man was on the opposite side, and then I was ambushed!"
"How dare she!" Chen i flew into a sudden rage, questioning Su Yuan: "What’s his na, do you know? Where’s he from, tell !"
Su Yuan, "His na seems to be Gu Feng."
"What?" Chen i thought she might have misheard: "Gu Feng?"
Su Yuan nodded, "Yes, it’s Gu Feng, with Gu as in ’taking care’ and a single ’Feng’."
Chen i’s expression suddenly turned stern, "How old is he?"
Su Yuan: "He’s older than , probably in his early thirties."
Chen i’s breathing suddenly beca erratic, "What does he look like? How tall is he?"
Su Yuan: "He’s a bit taller than , probably about 186 cm."
Chen i, "Why did he appear in your military region, and why was he sparring with you?"
Su Yuan: "It seems that Instructor Li Yan from the Fourth Military Region invited him. I thought you might know Instructor Li Yan. If it’s troubleso, then never mind."
Chen i sneered, quite more than just knowing him—he’s practically like a brother who watched grow up!
Chen i looked at her boyfriend with a light sarcasm, "You say he set you up?"
Su Yuan hadn’t yet noticed the change in his girlfriend’s tone and expression, and nodded vigorously, playing the victim, "I can’t swallow this insult. If he had beaten squarely, I’d have nothing to say!"
Chen i narrowed her eyes, "Is Gu Feng’s wife the woman whose marriage proposal was rejected by your Su Family, the one nad Lin Yue?"
Although she had never t the wife of the Junior Sect Leader, the whole academy had already heard the na.
"Yes!" Su Yuan was very excited, "That’s her! She turned her love into hatred..."
Chen i could no longer bear to listen, interrupting him, "Su Yuan, when did I fail to realize you are this kind of person? Keep making up stories. Are you using ?"
Su Yuan panicked, "No, I’m not! It’s just that Gu Feng was influenced by Lin Yue to be dissatisfied with . She’s carrying a grudge because of the aborted engagent!"
Chen i looked at him, no hint of rcy in her mockery, "You previously told that Lin Yue was doggedly pursuing you. How could you even say that? She has Gu Feng, why would she look at another man? You say Gu Feng set you up? That Lin Yue, out of love-turned-hatred, wants to take revenge on you?"
Chen i couldn’t help but laugh derisively at the absurdity, looking at her boyfriend who was actually alright lying in the hospital bed, she said scornfully, "Do you even know who Gu Feng is? He wouldn’t stoop to set soone up during training. You aren’t even worthy enough for him to do that. You don’t even have the right to comnt on him!"
"If Lin Yue really wanted to use her husband to target you, I can tell you, Su Yuan, with Gu Feng’s capability, you would have already been kicked out of the military!"
Gu Feng was the brother this generation admired like a deity.
Right now, the elders were all happily spreading the news of Brother Feng’s rise to power.
Because of his ascendancy, the whole academy benefitted as well.
Chen i wouldn’t allow the man before her to slander an idol revered by her peers!
Even if he was her boyfriend, it wasn’t acceptable!
"And another thing!" Chen i looked at Su Yuan with disgust, contempt written all over her face, "We’re not suited for each other; let’s break up!"
With that, she picked up her purse and turned to walk away.
It wasn’t just about your conflict with Gu Feng, but solely the fact that your Su Family had once broken off an engagent with the Junior Sect Leader’s wife. If my Chen Family really accepted you as a son-in-law, then wait for the whole academy to scold us till we can’t hold our heads up. Even if the Junior Sect Leader doesn’t care, would others allow you to break the rules?
Moreover, just based on this cause and effect, Chen i had already foreseen that Su Yuan’s path had narrowed!
Su Yuan was completely dumbfounded, just as he was about to recklessly chase after her, he saw Chen i at the doorway, and before closing the door, she added, "On behalf of my sister-in-law Lin Yue, thank you. If it weren’t for your Su Family’s broken engagent, she might not have t the best man in the world!"
"So, she won’t hate you." Chen i sneered, "But the people around my Brother Feng, they won’t tolerate you!"
From Chen i’s references to Lin Yue as ’sister-in-law’ and to Gu Feng as ’Brother Feng’, Su Yuan finally comprehended the status and background of the opposing side!
His pupils dilated slowly, and as he thought to chase after her, his legs gave way, and he collapsed, leaning on the front of the hospital bed in a panic.
