Chapter 4 Engagement Token

These are the words Su Nanzhi wanted to say in her previous life.

Qin Lie and Gu Xizhou are of the same age, one is only the deputy battalion commander, and the other is already the regimental commander. Qin Lie regards Gu Xizhou as an imaginary enemy. He dare not fall out with Gu Xizhou openly, but secretly compares himself with Gu Xizhou in everything.

From small things like saying that the child adopted by Gu Xizhou has a bad personality, to bigger things like saying that Gu Xizhou always puts on a stern face and the soldiers under him are afraid of him. Even after Gu Xizhou died, Qin Lie still didn't forget to criticize him.

Having said this, Su Nanzhi looked at Gu Xizhou.

But he happened to meet Gu Xizhou's disgusted expression.

Su Nanzhi glared back in a state of irritation. Besides the pain in her philtrum, her thigh also...

She seemed to still be able to feel the burning sensation brought by those big hands.

Gu Xizhou frowned slightly.

100 widows and children of his comrades? Even Gu Jia couldn't afford to support them...

But the content of her words made his eyes darken.

Wasn't Su Nanzhi's first day at the military camp today? How could she know his family background...

It was just that the quarrel between the two involved him. He didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so he said in a low voice, "I don't have a fiancée."

After these words were spoken, Qin Lie's expression became even uglier.

However, Su Nanzhi looked at Gu Xizhou with some surprise.

Even though the times have developed in the previous life, there are still many men who regard the family as their own place of authority, thinking that women are just vassals and not allowing women to oppose them.

But this kind of good man is short-lived.

Gu Xizhou lowered his eyes.

That strange look again.

Qin Lie couldn't express his disgust for Gu Xizhou, but that didn't stop him from looking at Su Nanzhi with cold eyes.

He hated it most when others said that he was not as good as Gu Xizhou.

Gu Xizhou only won because he had a better family background than him.

Su Nanzhi had no doubt that if there was no one else in the ward, Qin Lie would definitely take action.

"Zhao Xue and Xiao Bao are orphans and widows, can't you be more generous?"

Hearing the same words as in the previous life, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but reveal a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth.

Although she was married to Qin Lie in her previous life, Qin Lie would always leave for Zhao Xue when she was sick, gave birth, or when her child was sick.

Compared with Zhao Xue, she is more like a widow whose husband has died.

Su Nanzhi glanced at him with a half-smile, "So I'm canceling my engagement with you. From now on, your affairs have nothing to do with me."

Political Commissar Zhu standing by was also speechless. Qin Lie was considered a promising young talent in the army, but he did not expect that he would be so confused in private.

You are a country boy. Even if you don't send half of your money back home every month, at least you can't give so much money to your comrade's widow in such an unclear way.

Even this comrade-in-arms is just an ordinary comrade-in-arms. No wonder his fiancée Su Nanzhi refused.

You still want to compete with Gu Xizhou? His family is rich, what does your family have?

If he hadn't been persuaded to reconcile instead of separate, he would have wanted to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Qin Lie's voice rang out.

"Then cancel it."

Another half hour later.

Su Nanzhi looked at the paper of cancellation of engagement in her hand, looking a little confused.

She didn't expect that the cancellation of her engagement with Qin Lie would be quicker than she imagined. The twenty years or so she had been entangled with Qin Lie in her previous life were still fresh in her mind. Now she only had to sign her name on this certificate, and from then on she would have nothing to do with Qin Lie or the Qin family.

only……

"Su Nanzhi, it's not too late for you to regret now."

Qin Lie's voice brought her back to her senses.

Su Nanzhi looked up and saw that Qin Lie's face was gloomy, but his eyes were full of determination, as if he was sure that she would regret it.

After seeing Su Nanzhi put down the pen in her hand, Qin Lie's confidence turned into pride.

Besides him, who else would Su Nanzhi want?

Only if Su Nanzhi apologizes to him and Zhao Xue this time will he reluctantly agree to resume the engagement with her.

Su Nanzhi turned to look at Political Commissar Zhu who was standing beside her. "Political Commissar Zhu, before the engagement was cancelled, he must return the token my family gave to Qin Lie."

Qin Lie didn't expect that Su Nanzhi didn't regret it, and even asked him for an engagement token. His heart was instantly filled with anger.

He pretended to touch the jade pendant hanging around his neck, but his neck was empty. As if he had thought of something, an unnatural expression appeared on his face.

"I don't have it with me. I'll return it to you later."

Su Nanzhi sneered, "You didn't bring it, but didn't Zhao Xue bring it?"

After being admitted to the infirmary, Zhao Xue, Zhou Xiaobao, and several enthusiastic military wives who were involved in the incident were still outside the door.

Seeing that Su Nanzhi had nothing to do, they were all planning to leave, but when they heard that Su Nanzhi and Qin Lie really wanted to cancel their engagement, they all waited at the door with different thoughts in their minds.

Seeing Qin Lie's pale face, Political Commissar Zhu, who had wanted to persuade Su Nanzhi again, was completely silent this time.

Qin Lie must be a fool. He gave his engagement token to his comrade's wife.

No one would believe that the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

He turned and walked out the door, calling Zhao Xue and Zhou Xiaobao in.

It was summer at the time, and Zhao Xue was wearing a long floral dress. Although it had a small V-neck, you could vaguely see something hanging around her neck.

"Zhao Xue, did Qin Lie give you a jade pendant?"

Political Commissar Zhu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Zhao Xue instinctively wanted to say no, but when she saw everyone's eyes were looking at her neck, she nodded reluctantly.

"Xiaobao thought the jade pendant was suitable for me, so he and Brother Qin asked for it."

Regardless of whether anyone believed this lame excuse, Zhao Xue still said it.

Su Nanzhi smiled, "That was the engagement token my family gave to the Qin family. Now that Qin Lie and I have canceled our engagement, you should return the jade pendant to me."

Zhao Xue didn't expect to hear this good news. Qin Lie is now the best choice she can find. She almost couldn't control the smile on her face.

However, when she touched the jade pendant hanging around her neck, she felt a little reluctant to let it go.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that this jade pendant brought her good luck...

"What? It's not enough that you stole my fiancé, you also want to steal my family heirloom jade pendant?"

Seeing Zhao Xue standing still, Su Nanzhi simply got up from the hospital bed and walked in front of Zhao Xue.

The bedroom suddenly became quiet.

Political Commissar Zhu asked Zhao Xue and her daughter to enter the ward, but forgot to close the door.

The aunties who were waiting to watch the fun at the ward door heard everything about the jade pendants and tokens of love.

The quiet corridor immediately became lively.

"I'm saying that Zhao Xue and Deputy Battalion Commander Qin are not innocent, right?"

"Who's family dresses up so extravagantly after a man dies?"

"Our family compound has produced a second Battalion Commander Zhang."

…

Gu Xizhou, who was somewhat impatient to listen to family gossip, took this opportunity to turn around and walk out of the ward. Just as he was about to close the door, a hand stopped him from closing the door.

He looked up and met Su Nanzhi's slightly red and swollen eyes, tears still welling up in her eyes.

At this moment, tears fell on the back of his hand, and Gu Xizhou felt that the back of his hand was inexplicably hot...
