Chapter 301 Comparison and Jealousy
Suddenly, he clutched his stomach, a look of pain on his face.
Turning to Gu Yihan, he said, "Xiaohan, my stomach suddenly hurts a little, I need to go to the restroom, could you take my lunchbox back for me?"
Seeing Hu Shan hunched over and clutching her stomach, Gu Yihan assumed she was really in pain and quickly took the lunchbox from her.
She asked worriedly, "Sister Shan, did you eat something bad?"
"Do you want me to go to the hospital with you?"
Seeing that Secretary Chang and the others were walking further and further away, Hu Shan didn't have time to say more and replied perfunctorily, "No need."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Yihan's reply, he turned and ran away in a flash.
Gu Yihan glanced in Hu Shan's direction, paused for a moment, and quickly called out, "Sister Shan, the restroom isn't over there, you've come the wrong way!"
"Pfft."
Zhang Limin and Wang Guixiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan turned to look at them with a hint of confusion in her eyes and asked, "Sister Guixiang, what are you laughing at?"
Wang Guixiang couldn't hold back any longer, so she took a few quick steps and whispered in Gu Yihan's ear.
He whispered, "Officer Hu must have gone to chase after Secretary Chang."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked up at her in surprise, then gave a faint "Oh".
Without saying a word, he walked straight toward the office.
Wang Guixiang and Zhang Limin exchanged a glance, then asked in confusion, "Xiao Han, you already knew?"
As Zhang Limin walked, she answered, "I don't know."
On the other side
Textile factory gate
Li Yajing declined Secretary Chang's offer to see her off, took her leave, and turned to go.
Hu Shan, who was hiding to the side, saw Secretary Chang leave and quickly ran towards Li Yajing's direction.
He ran while shouting, "Hey, you guys in front, wait a minute!"
Hearing the shouts behind her, Li Yaqing frowned and turned around to look at Hu Shan, who was panting heavily.
He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Hu Shan walked quickly to Li Yajing and looked directly into her eyes.
She deliberately raised her voice and said with a smile, "Hello comrade, I am Secretary Chang's fiancée!"
She wanted to mislead the other party and ruin Secretary Chang's wedding.
Upon hearing this, Li Yajing looked Hu Shan up and down, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Then, he chuckled softly: "You must be my ex-fiancée!"
Hu Shan's smile froze slightly, and she looked at her coldly: "He even told you this?"
Li Yaqing smiled but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Li Yajing showed no anger, Hu Shan quickly composed herself.
Not wanting to be outshone, she thought for a moment, then stepped forward and warmly took her arm.
He said earnestly, "Sister, listen to me, Secretary Chang is no good."
"He's selfish, snobbish, and heartless. Even if you marry him, you won't be happy!"
"Besides, he's not good enough for you."
With a faint smile on her face, Li Yajing pulled her arm away and glanced at Hu Shan.
He laughed and said, "Neither of us is unworthy of the other!"
"As for your question about his character, I still trust my own eyes more!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan felt a surge of anger and glared at Li Yajing.
"Secretary Chang has been waiting for me to get married until now because of me, and even after I got married, he still waits for me!"
Li Yaqing's eyes remained unmoved as she calmly watched Hu Shan spout nonsense.
"Did you know that he sent my lover to a farm in order to marry me?"
"Are you done talking?" Li Yajing interrupted Hu Shan calmly.
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan's eyes widened in disbelief: "How come you're not angry at all?"
Li Yaqing glanced at Hu Shan with amusement, said nothing more, and walked past her quickly away.
It would be ridiculous if she took people's words, whether true or false, to heart!
However, she still needed to have her family thoroughly investigate everything between Secretary Chang and his ex-fiancée.
Hu Shan stared blankly at Li Yajing walking away, then stomped her foot angrily and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'm waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."
...
Time passed slowly, and March 1974 arrived.
During the Lunar New Year, Gu Yihan thought about spending a reunion with her family of three.
Who knew that Lu Huailin received an urgent mission on New Year's Eve and had been gone for several months, and had not returned yet.
Su Nian, seven or eight months pregnant with twins, was taking a stroll in front of the courtyard when she heard the sound of a bicycle.
Smiling, she turned to look at Gu Yihan: "Xiaohan, Lu Huailin hasn't returned from his mission yet."
"No, Sister Su, I have to go now. I need to pick up Hao Hao after I finish cooking!"
After saying that, Gu Yi quickly returned to the courtyard and strode towards the kitchen.
He took out a pre-stewed old hen from the space, put it in a pot, and casually added some firewood, giving people the illusion that a meal was being cooked at home.
She went straight back to her room and lay down on the bed in a spread-eagle position to rest.
Who says you'll be lonely without a man in your home?
She felt incredibly comfortable, able to do whatever she wanted and eat whatever she wanted.
No need to sneak around, it's incredibly satisfying.
After resting for a while, I happily jumped out of bed and went to pick up Hao Hao from daycare.
Zhou family
Su Nian swallowed the rice in her mouth, looked up at Zhou Jun and said, "Commander Lu has been gone for several months, could something have happened to him?"
Zhou Jun mumbled, "No, once Commander Lu returns from his mission, his name should be on the next promotion list!"
"What? He got promoted again?"
Su Nian was taken aback. "I remember you were transferred here because Lu Huailin was promoted to commander of the Independent Regiment. It hasn't even been two years yet."
"Another promotion?"
Zhou Jun didn't think too much about it and said with a smile, "That's normal, besides Lu Huailin's own excellent military skills."
“He graduated from military academy, which gave him a higher starting point than most people, not to mention his very privileged family background.”
Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Su Nian's eyes; she was genuinely a little jealous.
Zhou Jun is not young anymore. If he cannot be promoted in a few years, he will be stuck in the position of regimental commander for the rest of his life.
At this rate, his future position will be no match for Lu Huailin's.
Wouldn't that mean the distance between me and Gu Yihan will only grow wider in the future?
Zhou Yan glanced at Su Nian, pursed her lips, and sneered inwardly.
Jealous?
She always acts like she's above worldly concerns, as if she's superior to everyone else.
In essence, she is a hypocritical and selfish woman.
"Brother, if it weren't for your lack of political awareness and marrying your sister-in-law, you wouldn't have stayed in the position of regimental commander for so many years."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jun's expression suddenly turned cold as he stared at Zhou Yan.
He shouted sternly, "Why are you everywhere? If you don't want to eat, get out!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Nian, whose face was pale, and patted her hand, saying, "Wife, don't listen to Zhou Yan's nonsense."
Su Nian forced a smile at Zhou Jun, stood up while holding onto the table, went straight back to her bedroom, and sat on the bed in a daze.
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she quickly walked to the dressing table, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write a letter.
