They only dared to point and whisper behind his back; how could they dare to come closer?

After all, that man looked pretty fierce, so who would be tempted to mess with him?

Everyone's waiting to see what happens next; things are bound to get interesting at their house.

Gu Chengfeng glanced at the gossiping onlookers, remaining silent for the time being, while he had his own plans in mind...

Shen Sisi felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by these people; Gu Chengfeng must have felt even more uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Chen Sisi bravely raised her head and glared back at them one by one.

Her demeanor was indeed quite fierce; those who were glared at by her would nervously look away, not daring to meet her gaze.

Sensing that Shen Sisi was retaliating, Gu Chengfeng disregarded everyone's strange behavior and approached her calmly, as if being by Shen Sisi's side was an extremely glorious and boastful event.

Only after entering the apartment building did Chen Sisi breathe a sigh of relief. She asked Gu Chengfeng to wait while she went upstairs to greet her aunt.

Gu Chengfeng also felt it was impolite to come so abruptly, so he handed the little girl back to her arms: "Go on, I'll wait for you."

He obediently stood at the corner of the stairs, carrying his large and small bags, waiting.

Chen Sisi nervously knocked on the door. As soon as she opened it, she glimpsed her cloth bag, which had been neatly arranged and placed on the doormat.

“Auntie, this is…” She looked at the luggage bag, her expression angry.

Zhao Shilan's eyes were red from crying, and she lowered her head to hide her embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, Sisi, your sister Tingting is bringing her fiancé home unexpectedly, and there's really no room at home, so you see..."

Silent and silent, my cousin rarely comes home all year round. It's not like it's a holiday or anything, so why would she suddenly come back?

She understood everything after using her brain for a little while.

My cousin's return was a pretense; my aunt and uncle were really trying to get rid of her.

It seems that my uncle was putting pressure on me from behind!

Zhao Shilan looked at her, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but she still managed to restrain herself.

Shen Sisi knew she was in trouble, and she also knew that her uncle could really hit her aunt if he got angry.

She had previously stood up for her aunt and advised her to get a divorce more than once, but in this day and age, divorce is a huge deal. Her aunt was proud and weak-willed and refused to make a decision. She even said that no couple doesn't fight.

Fighting at the head of the bed and making up at the foot of the bed...

Divorce sounds terrible; people will gossip and it will affect Tingting's chances of getting married.

She was also annoyed by her aunt's lack of ambition, but she was powerless to change it, because every time she helped her aunt, her uncle would bully her even more.

Thinking of this, Chen Sisi took a deep breath and sighed softly, "I came here this time to say goodbye to my aunt and uncle. I'm leaving soon."

"Going? Are you going back to the countryside?" Zhao Shilan asked.

Chen Sisi shook her head: "I'm going to another city. I'm getting married."

"Married?" Zhao Shilan raised her voice in surprise, "You...you really found someone?"

Chen Sisi hummed in response, a barely perceptible smile on her face.

"Which family is it? Tell your aunt and see if this family is trustworthy!" Zhao Shilan was really anxious: "Be careful not to be deceived or kidnapped."

These days, many girls leave their hometowns without realizing it, only to be sold to remote mountain villages.

Thinking of Gu Chengfeng's reassuring military uniform, she couldn't help but reveal a line of pearly teeth: "He wouldn't, he's a soldier."

"What? A soldier?" Chen Jianguo had just come out of the room when he heard Shen Sisi say that she was getting married and that she had found a soldier.

"Did they dig up your ancestral grave or owe you a fortune? How could they possibly be interested in you..."

Chen Jianguo chuckled, looking Shen Sisi up and down with disdain. He was drawn to her red wool coat, and his expression paused slightly: "You even went out of your way to buy an outfit just to save face? You're kidding me!"

"With your reputation, who would be blind enough to marry you? Don't embarrass yourself."

Shen Sisi frowned in disgust, about to speak, but Zhao Shilan tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to argue.

In the past, she would have let it go if she was criticized, but she couldn't stand it today. Who told him to say that Gu Chengfeng was blind?

"Chen Jianguo, I respect you as my uncle and have always respected you, but I, Chen Sisi, am not a garbage can to be dumped on me with all sorts of foul language. Watch your mouth!"

Chen Sisi's dignified and imposing demeanor, though seemingly without anger, truly commanded respect.

Chen Jianguo was stunned by her and didn't react for a long time.

"I think you've got too big for your britches and are asking for trouble, daring to talk to me like that..." Chen Jianguo glared angrily, wishing he could kick her.

Chen Sisi frowned, clearly angered that her authority as the head of the Chen family had been challenged.

She wasn't particularly afraid, but she was worried that after she left, her aunt would have to pay the price for her impulsiveness.

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff and tensions were running high, Gu Chengfeng's steady footsteps came from behind.

"What kind of skill is it to bully women? If you have the guts, come at me!"

"Who the hell are you..." Chen Jianguo was about to act tough when he was glared at by a narrow gaze.

Gu Chengfeng put the things in his hand on the ground, and immediately shielded Shen Sisi and the child behind him, instantly entering a state of readiness.

He already looked menacing, and now he exuded even more ferocity, his gloomy face tense, and his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"I am Gu Chengfeng, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, 1st District, Southwest Field Army, and Shen Sisi's fiancé!"

Chen Jianguo was caught off guard by his gaze and instinctively shuddered.

Gu Chengfeng... That name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it.

He adopted the air of a superior elder, glancing sideways at Gu Chengfeng, but deliberately avoiding the other's sharp gaze.
