Xiao Hong felt that sothing was suspicious. She was ambiguous, certainly having committed a serious mistake. Wang Hu should not be dragged into it. Wang Hu nodded; he thought the sa.
Bai Fanglan was both ashad and angry, almost to the point of bursting with rage. But she couldn’t leave in a huff and kneeled before him, choking up, "What’s the point in discussing past events? I promise this will be the last ti I trouble you. Please don’t be so heartless; consider the child we lost..."
Xiao Hong interrupted her, "Hasn’t Wang Hu compensated you? Everything has a limit. Once it’s too much, it’s fake. You’re not disabled. You’re healthy, young, and have a college education. What’s so difficult about finding a job? You simply don’t want to work hard yourself and want easy money, but how is that possible?"
"Shut up," Bai Fanglan shouted angrily, "Who asked you to mind our business? Matters between Wang Hu and are not yours to interfere with!"
Xiao Hong slightly frowned and beca silent.
Wang Hu said, "Xiao Hong is right; I won’t help you find a job. If you want to kneel, you can just keep kneeling."
After saying this, he took Xiao Hong’s hand and walked away quickly. Xiao Hong’s entire arm felt stiff, and turning back, she glanced at Bai Fanglan left crying on the spot, then at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu chuckled, "Stop looking. No matter what happens to that woman, I won’t care."
"Hmm, but you’re still holding my hand."
"Is it wrong for to hold your hand?"
Xiao Hong blushed, "But... but you said it was fake."
"It’s real now. Can I really hold your hand now?" Wang Hu smiled as he looked at her.
Xiao Hong lowered her head, rarely shy.
Wang Hu said, "I need to ask for your forgiveness. I’ve been divorced because I was immature in handling emotions and lacked empathy, like a wooden post, which hurt so people."
"I also dated before, but we broke up due to personality differences," she was quick to say, "Those romantic things aren’t suitable for us soldiers; we’ll be a fitting pair. Don’t ask about the past, but cherish the present!"
Though Wang Hu had a cold temperant, he was quite lenient with his own, giving Xiao Hong confidence that she’d have a good life with him.
Wang Hu laughed out loud, deciding to forget the pretensions. Together, they walked hand in hand.
Thus, Xiao Hong, once just helping out, beca truly involved in the relationship, though Wang Hu’s parents weren’t aware.
A few days later, Wang Hu’s father’s lung examination results ca out, just a minor inflammation from excessive smoking, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Wang resolutely banned his smoking and incidentally pressed Wang Hu to finalize the marriage plans.
Both families highly approved, hastily setting their wedding for New Year’s Day, intending to relocate quickly. Otherwise, in such a remote area, how could Xiao Hong be pregnant? The parents were worried.
Thinking it over, Wang Hu agreed; he had been away long enough.
Things were joyous in their circle, but Bai Fanglan was miserable. Pleading with Wang Hu yielded no results, so she sought out other acquaintances. However, her grandfather, now retired, led these people to be extrely perfunctory towards her. Furthermore, Bai Fanglan’s affairs had beco widely known, making hospitals reject her due to her poor dical skills.
Soon after her expulsion, she was forcibly discharged and returned ho, only to find Bai Chuan had prepared a purchased train ticket for her.
Infuriated to the point of liver pain, Bai Fanglan bit her lip, "Grandfather, are you really giving no way out? Just driving away like this?"
Bai Chuan sighed, "It’s for your own good! Staying here no longer holds any aning. I’m getting old, truly cannot withstand the stress anymore. Don’t worry; every month when my salary cos, I’ll send you fifty bucks."
Bai Fanglan coldly laughed, standing up abruptly, "Fine! Since you dislike so much, I’ll leave! You’ll get your wish!"
She returned to her room and slamd the door.
Bai Chuan shook his head and went to care for his great-granddaughter. The child was pitiable; Bai Fanglan never cared while working, and even now unemployed, she remained indifferent.
The next morning, Bai Chuan woke up to find Bai Fanglan’s room in disarray. Everything was thrown about, yet she was gone.
Bai Chuan was puzzled; what happened? Then on the table, he found a letter.
Bai Fanglan said she’s left, gone south to find work, aiming to return once successful. The child was left for Bai Chuan to care for temporarily. Besides her jewelry and savings, she also took four thousand bucks from Bai Chuan’s drawer.
Bai Fanglan left in a fit of anger, refusing to believe she wouldn’t succeed! She vowed to get revenge! Against everyone who looked down on her and ignored her!
Bai Chuan worried, struggling to catch his breath, almost fainting. What on earth is Bai Fanglan trying to do!
The child from the next room cried out loudly, and Bai Chuan couldn’t neglect her, so he went to take care of her. Seeing her dark, gaunt face, Bai Chuan sighed deeply too, poor child. No father, and a mother who’s always negligent.
Bai Chuan’s previous grand ambitions were wiped away, leaving him with only taking care of the child daily.
anwhile, Sun Chan’s situation gradually returned to calm. Yuan Bing, due to his indecency and attempt at intentional homicide at their camp, faced serious charges. Coupled with Gu Junming’s thorough investigation, a raft of Yuan Bing’s business misconducts ca to light.
Including tax evasion, engineering fraud, and bribery, among others, these evidences ensured Yuan Bing likely wouldn’t co out for life. People all around talked about it extensively, mostly cursing Yuan Bing and Bai Fanglan, so discussing Sun Chan.
Zhuang Lin was jumping up and down vigorously, but her husband knew and suppressed her decisively.
Later, the camp erupted with another scandal, overshadowing this one. It turned out Liu Gang secretly wrote reports, intending to falsely accuse Gu Junming!
How it happened: one day Liu Gang went to the team headquarters to deliver the report but was interrupted prematurely, greeted by several soldiers playfully as they flocked around him. Soone jokingly snatched the letter, and once revealed, the matter blew up. At that mont, Gu Junming also arrived, greeted cheerfully, and asked what was happening, leaving everyone embarrassed.
Thus, Liu Gang’s defamatory letter wasn’t sent, and his act of stabbing in the back spread.
These soldiers were arranged by Gu Junming, though they themselves were unaware of his intentions. They were quite angry; why on earth? Knowing Bai Fanglan invited trouble that hard others, why drag Gu Junming down too? Was it out of envy for Gu Junming’s ritorious recognition?
This approach was overly vile.
