Chapter 73 Ji Xuening and Chen Xiangxue are in love

Wang Yuqing felt something was off and guessed that something must be wrong. She was also an impatient person: "Old Secretary, just say what you want to say."

The old Party Secretary suddenly asked her seriously, "Do you really want to spend your life with Ji Laosi?"

Wang Yuqing paused for a moment, then readily replied, "Yes, if I didn't genuinely want to spend my life with him, I wouldn't have gone home with him."

The old Party Secretary seemed to nod in satisfaction, then said meaningfully, "You two are a perfect match, both good kids. You must live your lives well together from now on, and don't quarrel over trivial matters."

Wang Yuqing felt that the implication behind these words was that Ji Xuening had cheated on her? Who was the other woman? Was she prettier than her?

The next second, the old Party Secretary took out a letter from the drawer, glanced cautiously at the door, and said to her, "This was handed over by Liu Huo. I suppressed it; it almost got sent to the commune."

Wang Yuqing asked, "What kind of letter is this? Is it because of this letter that he didn't become the militia company commander?"

The old Party Secretary didn't answer, but instead asked, "Can you read?"

Wang Yuqing nodded.

The old Party Secretary handed the letter to Wang Yuqing with some surprise: "You can read it yourself. I'm too embarrassed to read it aloud."

Wang Yuqing accepted the letter.

The envelope was not formatted correctly, indicating that it was not sent by mail but rather delivered privately.

The letter simply read "To Comrade Ji Xuening," written in elegant handwriting, suggesting the recipient was a refined and graceful person.

This letter should have been written to Ji Xuening and then delivered to him by Liu Huo. However, Ji Xuening has never mentioned this matter. The fact that this letter was delivered to the brigade headquarters and caused Ji Xuening to lose his position as militia company commander indicates that Liu Huo did not give it to Ji Xuening and that the letter had a negative impact on him.

Wang Yuqing opened the letter with curiosity, and she didn't know why she looked at the signature at the bottom corner of the letter first.

Chen Xiangxue.

Chen Xiangxue, snow?

Wang Yuqing's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little down. If she guessed correctly, this person was Ji Xuening's wife, the woman who had been with him for many years and who still stood by his side when he became the richest man in the world.

The original owner's memories contained a slight resemblance to Ji Xuening's wife, who was the one who exposed Lin Yuyan and Liu Huo's affair, but the only vague recollection of her name was the character "Xue".

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that Chen Xiangxue is Ji Xuening's wife.

Wang Yuqing felt a vague unease. She spent five minutes reading the letter, and her feelings were mixed afterward.

From the contents of the envelope, she knew to some extent that Chen Xiangxue was a solo singer in the cultural troupe of Ji Xuening's unit. The first time she met Ji Xuening was when she was sick and almost fainted. Ji Xuening met her on the road and took her to the unit's medical room on his bicycle.

Wang Yuqing recalled that Ji Xuening had indeed told her that he once rode his bicycle to take a woman to the clinic when he was in the army, and she asked him what his name was.

Ji Xuening said she didn't remember!

Wang Yuqing was disgusted. He looked honest and simple, yet he was lying.

After that incident, the two fell in love with each other. However, due to the strict discipline of the military, which prohibited male and female soldiers from dating, the consequences ranged from disciplinary action to being sent home, and in more serious cases, being sent to a military court. Therefore, the two secretly communicated through Liu Huo, who acted as an intermediary.

This refers to what is known as a love letter.

On the surface, they never meet, but in reality, they hide under the covers every night to read and reply to love letters.

As for how far their relationship should go? It should be one of mutual affection, a love as deep as the sea, and a bond stronger than gold...

Four years ago, Ji Xuening suddenly proposed to leave the army and return to his hometown, and from then on, he cut off all contact with her. After all, the army was strictly managed, and Chen Xiangxue naturally could not send out love letters.

It wasn't until half a month ago, when Liu Huo was also dismissed from the party, that she wrote a letter asking Liu Huo to help deliver it to Ji Xuening. However, Liu Huo did not deliver the letter to him. Instead, she handed it over to the brigade headquarters during the election for militia company commander.

This man is insidious and despicable!

The letter also shows that Chen Xiangxue is a good girl. Besides the many memories and words of longing, it also shows that she has been speaking up for Ji Xuening.

The message reads: I know you didn't reply to my note the day before you left the army because you were afraid I would be upset. I also know you didn't look back at me on the day you left because you were afraid I would be upset. I know you haven't tried any way to contact me all these years because you didn't want to hold me back.

Wang Yuqing didn't know if Ji Xuening was afraid of feeling uncomfortable or delaying her, as Chen Xiangxue said, but she always felt that this old Ji was a bit of a jerk.

But thinking about it carefully, if she hadn't known that Chen Xiangxue would be his wife in the future, he wouldn't have even thought that this was something Ji Xuening would do.

Wang Yuqing's mind was in a mess right now, but the only thought that wasn't was probably, "Ji Xuening, you really know how to play!"

The old Party Secretary secretly observed Wang Yuqing's facial expression. He pondered for a long time but couldn't see any particular distress on her face. He was unsure whether he should offer any words of comfort.

Wang Yuqing snapped out of her daze, took the letter, and asked, "So, because Ji Xuening violated military discipline and had an improper conduct in the past, he is not allowed to become a militia company commander?"

The old Party Secretary nodded: "Although this happened four years ago, and he has been discharged from the army for four years, secretly having a relationship with a female soldier in the army is indeed a matter of conduct. Fortunately, I suppressed it, because if it got out, it would have damaged his reputation. If he had been sent to the commune, he would have received severe criticism and education!"

The old Party Secretary sighed and comforted him, "But, Xiao Wang, this happened four years ago, you don't need to worry too much..."

Wang Yuqing suddenly spoke up: "I didn't expect Old Ji to be this kind of person. He usually seems very honest, but he's really good at playing around. He's quite interesting."

Old Party Secretary: "..."

This must be from anger, from anger!

Wang Yuqing said, "Old Secretary, thank you so much. I'll have Old Ji thank you properly later. I'll head back now."

Old Party Secretary: "..."

Shouldn't he be crying and yelling? He had already prepared how to mediate.

While the old Party Secretary was still in a daze, Wang Yuqing had already turned around and quickly ran out of the office.

The old Party Secretary stood at the door and loudly instructed, "When you get back, speak properly. Don't fight. If you have any problems, come to the brigade to find me. Do you hear me, Xiao Wang? Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything."

It would be a lie to say Wang Yuqing wasn't upset along the way; she felt very uncomfortable. Could it be that she had fallen for Ji Xuening? When this thought popped into her mind, she was startled. In her previous life, he was her boss. Had she fallen for her boss?

However, she still felt somewhat apologetic and conflicted.

I regret that they were originally a couple, destined to grow old together, essentially the male and female protagonists, and my arrival has undoubtedly broken them up.

The dilemma is whether or not I should leave. I'm taking up Chen Xiangxue's place, and if I don't leave, I won't be able to live with her moral compass.

Wang Yuqing felt that she should ask Ji Xuening first to find out the specifics of the matter, since she still had some doubts about whether this was Ji Xuening's style.

If she finds out that he does indeed like Chen Xiangxue and has made it clear that she should leave, then... she still won't leave. She'll make room for Chen Xiangxue and then ask Grandma Ji if she needs a granddaughter.
