Chapter 45 Hao Yan's Apology Letter

"I have severed ties with the Zhong family," Shen Wanjun said calmly.

Fearing that Jiang Weiguo wouldn't believe her, she even "kindly" showed him the newspaper.

Jiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment. The newspaper was dated more than twenty days ago.

In other words, when he came to ask Zhong Chuchu where she was last time, Zhong Chuchu was no longer Shen Wanjun's sister.

He felt cheated. "Comrade Shen, don't go too far."

Shen Wanjun was completely baffled. "What's wrong?"

"You've severed ties with the Zhong family, yet you still want me to marry your sister?" Jiang Weiguo was somewhat agitated.

"What does your marriage to my sister have to do with severing ties with me?"

"Then why do you say the Zhong family is so wealthy and powerful?" Jiang Weiguo wasn't just eyeing the Zhong family's assets; he also included the Shen family's fortune in his calculations.

Song Zhan is a soldier; he only loves his uniform, not money. At least a portion of Shen Wanjun's family fortune should be given to him.

Now that the two families have severed ties, it's like he's lost a lot of money.

“That’s true too.” Shen Wanjun knew he was still scheming to seize the Zhong family’s assets, so she gave him another boost of confidence.

“I don’t have a single penny of the Zhong family’s money. You know my parents love my sister the most.”

Jiang Weiguo's eyes darkened. These words were true; Zhong Chuchu had indeed said that she was the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.

When her parents get out, they will definitely not let Shen Wanjun off the hook.

Zhong Yaozu has already been imprisoned, and the Zhong family's assets are definitely still in Zhong Chuchu's hands.

Thinking of this, Jiang Weiguo immediately changed his tune and said, "What do you mean by breaking off or not breaking off ties? It's just that you two sisters are having a disagreement, it's perfectly normal."

“It’s all in the past, let’s not talk about those upsetting things. I’ll be waiting for you and your brother-in-law to come the day after tomorrow.”

After Jiang Weiguo finished speaking, he got on his old bicycle and turned to leave.

After closing the door, Song Zhan asked, "Shall we go?"

Shen Wanjun shook her head: "I'm not going."

Song Zhan said "Oh," opened the letter, looked at it, and handed it to Shen Wanjun: "My...my sister is coming."

Shen Wanjun asked, "You came here? What are you here for?"

"My mom sent her here... saying she'd take care of you."

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me right now,” Shen Wanjun said. “Let’s talk about it when I’m further along in my pregnancy.”

Song Zhan lowered his head, looking troubled.

After reading the letter with its crooked handwriting, Shen Wanjun sighed and said, "Then let's go pick her up in a couple of days."

It wasn't that she wanted people to come; she simply had no other choice.

As if they knew Song Zhan would refuse, the Song family acted first and informed Song Juan later, already buying her a train ticket.

"I'm going to send a telegram. Tell my sister to wait for us at the train station entrance and not to wander off."

Song Zhan looked grateful and pulled Shen Wanjun aside, saying, "Wife, I'm sorry, my family has really gone too far."

It was one thing to suck his blood before, but now they're even sending him blood packs. What are they trying to do?

"It's nothing," Shen Wanjun said calmly. "Look on the bright side. Didn't you want to find someone to help with cooking and housework? Well, here he is."

It saves you from having to go outside to find someone like Gao Xiaoman did.

In the afternoon, right after lunch, Dang Xianghong excitedly came to find Shen Wanjun.

"Come quick, come quick, I'll show you something good."

Dang Xianghong's loud voice attracted many people.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Sister Dang, what happened?"

Why are you so happy?

Dang Xianghong smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when you come with me."

The group arrived at the cafeteria, where a crowd had already gathered around the outer wall, pointing and whispering amongst themselves.

Shen Wanjun was pulled by Dang Xianghong and squeezed into the crowd. She subconsciously protected her stomach.

"Look, look!"

Shen Wanjun looked closely and, good heavens, there was a huge piece of paper on the wall—it was Hao Yan's apology letter.

It was written in black and white, with signatures and fingerprints, and even Political Commissar Hao's seal.

A gay man shouted, "Look, everyone, look! This is the apology letter that gold digger wrote to me."

"All you men, open your eyes and see clearly, don't be fooled like I was."

As luck would have it, Hao Yan happened to be passing by after getting her food.

The man pointed at her and said, "It's her, it's her, it's definitely her."

Everyone turned to look at Hao Yan, and began to whisper among themselves.

"How could someone who looks decent do such a shameless thing?"

"It's just a blind date, not the government assigning partners. Are you really treating people like pigs to be slaughtered?"

"Her ambitions are sky-high, but her fate is as fragile as paper. Let's see what kind of person she can find in the future."

Hao Yan stared at the man, her eyes bloodshot. "Do you really want to make this a big deal? What good will it do you?"

Watch out, or I'll get my sister and brother-in-law to kill you.

The man wasn't intimidated at all: "I'm happy to do it, what's it to you?"

The man proudly waved the papers in his hand; dozens of them were apology letters from Hao Yan, which he had transcribed himself.

To everyone's astonishment, he posted apology letters everywhere.

They plastered them on every wall they could find, even in the toilets.

After this incident, Hao Yan was completely unable to hold her head up in the compound, and she also became the focus of everyone's gossip.

Shen Wanjun, having gotten a piece of the story, gave Dang Xianghong a thumbs up: "Sister Hong, how are you so amazing? You know all the news."

Just like a mobile phone, there's no gossip she doesn't know.

Dang Xianghong mysteriously pulled Shen Wanjun aside and said, "There's something you might not know yet."

"Is it about Hao Yan?" Shen Wanjun asked.

Could she have arranged a marriage between her children and is now looking for someone better while still married?

If that's the case, things will get interesting.

"Your spouse."

“Song Zhan? What happened to him?” Shen Wanjun frowned.

She was not happy at all when the gossip got back to her.

"He complained to the political commissar."

"What...is he complaining about?"

Shen Wanjun couldn't understand it. He was a person who rarely left his home, yet he complained... were there many steps in the courtyard?

"Complain about that person... Bai Lu."

"Bai Lu! You mean Song Zhan filed a complaint against Bai Lu?" Shen Wanjun exclaimed in surprise.

Dang Xianghong quickly covered her mouth: "Let's find a place where no one is around to talk."

The two arrived at a vegetable garden, and Dang Xianghong then spoke up: "Battalion Commander Song reported to Political Commissar Hao that there was a problem with Bai Lu's performance last time."

"Don't say it's vulgar, inappropriate, or unworthy of serious consideration."

“Oh…” Shen Wanjun suddenly realized, oh, this matter.

“He…he told me before, but I just thought he was venting.”

I didn't expect Song Zhan to be serious...

"What did Political Commissar Hao say?" Shen Wanjun asked.

The key to this matter is the attitude of those above, that is, the attitude of the political commissar.

"The political commissar said that all cultural performance programs will be strictly reviewed in the future. I guess Bai Lu's promotion will definitely be affected."

Bai Lu was originally a contracted teacher, but she had always performed very well in the army and had a good chance of being hired permanently this time.

After this incident, forget about getting a permanent position; it'll probably be difficult for him to even stay on.

Dang Xianghong said with a hint of exasperation, "You know, she really is something else. When she brings the children to perform, the children become mere background figures, and all she does is try to highlight her figure."

It seems that Dang Xianghong also has opinions about Bai Lu's program, but she just didn't say it before.

"Alright, let's go back. You go back and talk to Battalion Commander Song."

"What did you say?"

Dang Xianghong: "Tell him to file an anonymous complaint next time, so he doesn't get himself involved."

Shen Wanjun: ……

She truly lives up to her reputation as Sister Hong.
