Commissar Yu interrupted Xu Cuilan with a stern rebuke. He knew that Yao Hua had come to live with her mother after her mother remarried, and that her mother did not love her. He knew that Yao Hua's life at home was very difficult.

But I never expected it to be this difficult.

Xu Cuilan is not Yao Hua's mother at all; she is clearly an enemy.

Commissar Yu usually seems to have a very good temper, but the better a person's temper is, the more terrifying they can be when they lose it.

Xu Cuilan was stunned by the reprimand and was momentarily intimidated by Political Commissar Yu's dark face.

Where did this little bitch find this man? Why does he have such a scary dark face? He doesn't even have that kind of aura of hers.

"Who...are you?"

"Why should I shut up? It's none of your business how I discipline my own daughter. Besides, this is a military compound. Do you believe I can get one phone call and have the soldiers at the gate throw you out?"

Having lived in the compound for so long, Xu Cuilan has gained some experience.

"My name is Yu Xiangdong."

Political Commissar Yu looked at Xu Cuilan with a dark expression. "He is Yao Hua's fiancé."

"fiancé?"

Xu Cuilan's voice was shrill, "What a load of bull! This little bitch already has a husband. You're just a lover she seduced. I'm warning you, you'd better get out of my house right now, or I'll call someone to throw you out."

That little bitch Yao Hua has really grown wings and dared to shamelessly seduce a man to back her up.

Does she think this way she won't have to get married? She's dreaming.

“I don’t have a husband. I don’t agree to the marriage you’re talking about at all. You’ve accepted the bride price and want to sell me off. Let me tell you, I’d rather die than agree to this.” Yao Hua grabbed Commissar Yu’s hand and loudly retorted to Xu Cuilan.

This was the first time she had ever spoken out so loudly against Xu Cuilan. She was very scared and nervous, but Yao Hua did not regret it. She could not let Political Commissar Yu fight alone. She had to stand up for him and stand by his side.

Yueyue is right, she needs to learn how to save herself.

"You little bitch, how dare you talk to me so loudly? I'll beat you to death."

Xu Cuilan raised her hand to hit Yao Hua, but before her hand could land, Political Commissar Yu grabbed her wrist.

Commissar Yu glanced at her expressionlessly, shook off her hand, and turned to Yao Hua in a soft voice, "Hua Hua, go back to your room and pack your things. I'll take you back in a bit."

"But she..."

Yao Hua looked at Political Commissar Yu with concern. She didn't want to leave, fearing that Political Commissar Yu would suffer if he went alone.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Political Commissar Yu smiled at Yao Hua, "You said you believed in me."

Yao Hua hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "Okay, just call me if you need anything. My room is over there."

Yao Hua's room was a storage room. Apart from a flimsy little bed made of wooden planks, it was full of odds and ends. There wasn't even a window, and it was dark and damp.

Seeing Yao Hua about to return to her room, Xu Cuilan tried to stop her, but Political Commissar Yu blocked her way.

"What do you want to do? It's none of your business how I care about my daughter. Get out of my way!"

Xu Cuilan shouted fiercely, but seeing that Political Commissar Yu was over 1.8 meters tall, she didn't dare to actually go up and fight him.

"As I just said, I am Hua Hua's fiancé. You may not know Yu Xiangdong, and you may not even be interested in me, but you should know this one."

Political Commissar Yu took out his identification documents.

Upon seeing the lieutenant colonel rank on the document, Xu Cuilan was stunned. "You...you're also a soldier?"

He's a high-ranking official. What incredible luck did that little slut Yao Hua have to find such a powerful fiancé?

Political Commissar Yu did not answer Xu Cuilan's question, but instead asked in a serious tone, "Can we talk now?"

Despite Xu Cuilan's fierce attitude towards Yao Hua, she becomes timid when dealing with soldiers or officers. She fears that if she does something wrong and it gets back to her husband, she'll be in serious trouble.

What do you want to talk to me about?

Xu Cuilan asked somewhat guiltily.

...

Yao Hua returned to her room and quickly began packing her things, worried that Political Commissar Yu might be bullied by her mother while she was out alone.

Actually, she didn't have many things at home, just the clothes Jiang Yue gave her, which could fit in one bag.

After quickly packing her things, Yao Hua rushed out of the room, only to see her mother politely pouring tea for Political Commissar Yu, with the same obsequious smile she usually wore when fawning over others.

Upon seeing her come out, Xu Cuilan immediately waved to her, "Huahua, have you finished packing your things?"

The kind tone made Yao Hua's eyes widen, as if she had seen a ghost.

Since she was old enough to understand, Xu Cuilan had never spoken to her so kindly.

"What are you standing there for? Now that you've packed your things, go back with Political Commissar Yu as soon as possible," Xu Cuilan said with a smile as she pulled Yao Hua along.

Yao Hua was so frightened by the outstretched hand that she took a step back.

Xu Cuilan was furious, but she didn't dare offend Yu Xiangdong. She could only suppress her temper, put on a fake smile, and said to Yao Hua in a gentle tone, "You must live a good life with Political Commissar Yu from now on, understand?"

"You're my only daughter, and I really hate to part with you. But what I want most is for you to be happy. Now that I'm entrusting you to Political Commissar Yu, I can finally rest easy."

Yao Hua didn't believe Xu Cuilan's words. She quickly walked up to Political Commissar Yu with her bag in her arms and whispered to him, "I've packed my things. Let's go."

Yao Hua didn't know how Political Commissar Yu had won over her mother; all she wanted now was for Political Commissar Yu to take her away from here as soon as possible.
