Chapter 316 Apology
Zhang Mei was completely bewildered by the tense situation between the two, so she quickly stepped between them to smooth things over.
"Ahem, you two, don't get agitated. There must be some misunderstanding."
"We're all neighbors, we see each other all the time, let's all give way."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Hao Hao: "It's not good for Hao Hao to be so noisy."
She never expected that Gu Yihan, who seemed to speak softly, would actually be someone who wouldn't suffer a loss.
"Aunt Zhang, you can't say that."
Gu Yihan looked up at Zhang Mei, her expression serious.
“My son Haohao was walking normally to the corner when the other driver clearly saw him but didn’t brake or ring the horn, and just drove straight at him.”
"Luckily, I caught Hao Hao quickly and prevented him from getting hurt."
At this point, Gu Yihan stared coldly at Wu Meili: "And yet, not only did she not apologize, she also spewed filth!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meili instantly bristled, glaring intently at Gu Yihan.
He roared, "How dare you speak like that! You're just trying to force me to do this because of Commander Lu's status...!"
"Shut up!"
Bai Yun came out, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes as she glanced at Wu Meili, and shouted sharply.
The moment Wu Meili saw her mother-in-law Bai Yun, her face turned pale. She quickly lowered her head, her long, thick eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes.
To outsiders, she appears somewhat frail, as if she has suffered a great injustice.
Gu Yihan looked at Zhou Meili, whose expression had suddenly changed, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Bai Yun walked to Gu Yihan's side and gently tugged at the corner of her mouth.
She said in a gentle tone, "Comrade Gu, your aunt knows that Wu Meili's actions have displeased you."
"My wife is straightforward and doesn't think before she speaks, so I spoke on her behalf..."
Bai Yun glanced at Hao Hao in Gu Yihan's arms, and only then did she realize that she didn't know the little guy's name.
Seeing the light, Zhang Mei smiled and walked to Gu Yihan's side, explaining, "Sister Bai, this is Hao Hao."
Bai Yun smiled slightly at Zhang Mei and took two steps forward.
She whispered to Hao Hao in Gu Yihan's arms, "Hao Hao, Grandma wants to apologize to you on behalf of that aunt. Can you forgive her?"
Hao Hao glanced at Gu Yihan and, seeing that she didn't speak, looked up at Bai Yun with his big eyes and said in a childish voice, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yun smiled, raised her hand to pat Hao Hao's little head, and turned to look at Gu Yihan.
He apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Comrade Gu, it's all my wife's fault."
When Wu Meili heard Bai Yun apologize to Gu Yihan on her behalf, she appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was furious.
It wasn't her fault at all. Who told that brat to be blind and not watch where he was going!
Even if she did bump into him, it wouldn't be her fault, especially since she didn't even bump into him!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glanced at Wu Meili indifferently and said coldly, "I hope she won't make the same mistake again in the future."
Bai Yun smiled and said, "Comrade Gu, don't worry, she won't be allowed to ride her bike in the alley anymore."
Gu Yihan nodded without saying anything.
He picked up the basket she had just thrown on the ground, said goodbye to Zhang Mei, and went home.
Bai Yun maintained a polite smile until Gu Yihan closed the courtyard gate, at which point the smile on her face gradually faded.
He turned around and quietly looked at Wu Meili standing to the side.
His eyes remained expressionless, and he pursed his lips, remaining silent.
At this moment, Wu Meili looked at Bai Yun's expressionless face and felt a surge of panic.
What she feared most was this seemingly gentle and mild-mannered mother-in-law.
Although she neither swears nor hits people.
But if you upset her, she will not say a word to you for months on end and will completely ignore you.
That feeling is worse than slapping her a few times or cursing at her; it would feel much better.
Zhang Mei looked at Bai Yun with a hint of sympathy in her eyes and stepped forward to pat Bai Yun on the shoulder.
He sighed and said, "Sister-in-law Bai, you still have to say what needs to be said about this daughter-in-law!"
"Otherwise, she would have offended all the military families in the residential compound."
After saying that, she turned around and went home to make lunch.
Seeing that only she and her mother-in-law were left, Wu Meili felt uneasy. She gritted her teeth and took two steps forward.
Like a child who has made a mistake, he lowered his head and whispered, "Mom, I want to go to the hospital quickly to cook for Yunlin, I just need a little time..."
Bai Yun let it go when she saw that the girl had made a mistake and showed no remorse.
She actually tried to shift the blame onto her son, and sneered, "You don't need to go to the hospital to cook for Yunlin anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meili's face turned pale instantly.
To repay her father for saving her life, Chief of Staff Gao arranged for Gao Yunlin to marry her.
After getting married, Gao Yunlin rarely went home to the family compound and lived in the single dormitory assigned by the hospital.
Later, she found out that the other person had someone they liked.
In order to develop a better relationship with Gao Yunlin, she would ride her bicycle for more than an hour every day at noon to his single dormitory to cook for him.
If they don't even have the chance to cook together, wouldn't they be worse off than strangers?
Regardless of what Wu Meili thought, Bai Yun pushed her bicycle and went straight home without even glancing at her.
noon
Zhao Family
Zhao Xu returned home and sat at the dining table, looking at Zhang Mei who was serving rice: "I heard that Lu Huailin's wife and Lao Gao's daughter-in-law had a fight?"
Zhang Mei glanced at Zhao Xu and said irritably, "Your information network is quite impressive!"
Zhao Xu chuckled and said, "The family compound is only so big, so it's not surprising that news travels fast."
"Besides, there are plenty of people in the army watching."
Zhang Mei's son, Zhao Junjie, looked up at Zhao Xu and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
"Let's see what our newly transferred Commander Lu is capable of!" Luo Bi glared at Zhao Junjie with annoyance.
That's so stupid, and he grew up in a compound since he was little.
She's completely brainless; other people's partners' brains are like honeycomb briquettes, full of eyes.
The person she carefully selected is completely clueless.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Junjie scratched his head and turned to Luo Bi, saying, "My wife is still the smartest."
"Commander Lu's wife did a great job today!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei swallowed the food in her mouth, looked up at Zhao Xu with a puzzled expression, and said, "You just arrived and got into a dispute with the people in the family compound, and you still say it's okay?"
Zhao Xu said, "What do you know? If she gets through today without any pain or discomfort and doesn't make a big fuss..."
"It indirectly tells others that she is easy to bully."
"Won't those military dependents who like to take advantage of others be constantly asking to borrow this or that every day?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei thought of the family members on the team who would frequently come to her door to borrow money or food.
"You mean, I was manipulated as soon as I arrived at the residential compound?"
Zhao Junjie looked at Zhang Mei with amusement and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mom, you're only just realizing this now!"
"Let's not talk about now, let's talk about those three years of famine. People would bring their children to our door and pretend to be pitiful."
"You lent our family's food rations to them. If it weren't for Dad being the political commissar of the division and having some influence, you probably would have starved me to death!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Bi quickly reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
Zhao Junjie looked at Luo Bi in confusion: "Why are you pulling me?"
Luo Bi was speechless. Didn't he see that Zhang Mei's face was getting worse and worse?
