Chapter 78 Are you Wang Jun?
Although Gu Yunting didn't understand why Su Mengxue suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully: "I don't know, what's wrong?"
Su Mengxue didn't want to alert the enemy, so she replied perfunctorily: "Nothing, just asking."
Gu Yunting looked at Su Mengxue, his Adam's apple rolling, and asked, "Su Mengxue, you haven't answered my question this morning. Do you want to marry me?"
Su Mengxue's mind was full of thoughts about who had hurt her. Seeing him bring up the past again, she absentmindedly replied, "No."
Although Gu Yunting had expected this answer, he still felt very upset, but he also understood that this kind of thing could not be forced, and he could not force her to marry him.
So he took out the leather envelope he had prepared in advance and handed it to her: "I will be stationed on the island in three days. If you encounter any difficulties, go to the army and find the people named in the envelope. I have already instructed them, and they will help you."
Su Mengxue reached out and took the heavy envelope. After opening it, there was a note inside with the names of six people written neatly on it. In addition, there was a thick stack of banknotes and tickets.
There were food coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, and even more exaggeratedly, there were industrial coupons, TV tickets, plane tickets, bicycle tickets...
She clutched the ticket in her hand, raised her head suddenly, and asked in confusion: "Gu Yunting, why did you give me so many banknotes and tickets?"
Gu Yunting softened his voice and said, "I saved these myself. I was thinking of saving them later..."
He paused and added, "I won't need these when I get to the island, so I'll just leave them all to you. You should treat yourself well. If you need money, go to my dad and he'll help you."
Su Mengxue didn't want to owe Gu Yunting too much, so she curled her lips and said, "Gu Yunting, you're not going away forever, I can't take these things from you." As she said that, she stuffed the tickets in her hand back into the envelope and handed it to Gu Yunting.
Gu Yunting refused to take it. He looked directly at Su Mengxue and said calmly, "I gave you these tickets for other uses. When you meet someone you like in the future..."
His Adam's apple rolled heavily, and he suppressed the sadness and bitterness in his heart, whispering, "If you're planning to get married, don't let your in-laws look down on you. Take these coupons and money to buy some dowry, and consider it my gift to you."
Su Mengxue looked at Gu Yunting, whose eyes were red and whose figure was lonely, and her fingers holding the ticket suddenly tightened. She didn't know why, but when she heard Gu Yunting say this, an indescribable feeling suddenly filled her heart.
After a moment of silence, she handed him the money again and softened her voice, saying, "Gu Yunting, I have no plans to get married at the moment, and what happened before was consensual. Please don't feel like you owe me anything. You'll need money to marry in the future, so keep this for yourself."
Gu Yunting dodged her extended hand and replied firmly, "If I can't marry you, I don't want to live with someone else. I have no plans to get married in the future."
Su Mengxue was furious and said indignantly: "Gu Yunting, are you stupid? There are so many women in Jiangbei who like you, why do you want to hang yourself on this tree of mine?"
Gu Yunting's Adam's apple rolled violently. He took a half step forward and asked seriously, "Then tell me, how can I take my eyes off you?"
Su Mengxue looked at the man who was so close to her. His eyes were red and his shoulders trembled slightly when he spoke. He no longer exuded the vigor and vitality he used to have, but instead looked haggard and broken, which made people feel distressed.
She subconsciously took a step back and lowered her voice, saying, "Gu Yunting, I...I'm not worthy of you doing this."
Gu Yunting sneered, "Su Mengxue, I am stupid. I am so stupid that even though I know you don't care about me, even though everyone tells me to give up, even though you reject me again and again, I still fantasize about you marrying me."
Although he was speaking to Su Mengxue, it felt more like he was speaking to himself. His voice grew softer and softer, and tears soon welled up in his eyes. "Su Mengxue, you know what? I'm afraid that no one will protect you after I'm gone. I'm afraid that you'll meet the wrong person and be wronged. I'm most afraid that you'll never remember me again..."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and raised his hand to straighten her messy hair, but his hand froze in mid-air and finally fell heavily.
Su Mengxue didn't know how to persuade him and could only remain silent. After the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, the old master came in and asked her to have dinner. Only then did she come to her senses.
She hurried to the cabinet and handed the clothes to Gu Yunting.
Gu Yunting took the clothes and said, "I will leave Jiangbei for the island early Wednesday morning. I will stay at home or at my father's hospital for the next few days. If you encounter any problems, don't force yourself. Come to me anytime."
Although Su Mengxue didn't want to trouble him again, she didn't want to disappoint him again, so she nodded in agreement.
Gu Yunting nodded to the master as a greeting, then turned around and left quickly.
Su Mengxue stared at his departing back in a daze, with a strange emotion flashing through her heart.
Zhou Weidong came up to her and said, "Girl, this kid is good, would you like to consider it?"
Hearing this, Su Mengxue quickly looked away and shook her head, saying, "Grandpa, you misunderstood. We are just ordinary friends."
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Weidong's face: "Really? Then why are you blushing?"
Su Mengxue raised her hand and touched her cheek, and replied unnaturally: "Grandpa, I don't have any."
Zhou Weidong said meaningfully, "They say those involved are often confused, while those on the sidelines can see clearly. Some relationships are like the ivy under the eaves. By the time you discover them, they're already entangled and impossible to untie."
"Grandpa, you really misunderstood. I... just treat him as a friend." Su Mengxue explained anxiously.
Zhou Weidong waved his hand at her and said, "Then just think that grandpa guessed wrong. Okay, go eat now."
"Okay." Su Mengxue said and turned to walk into the yard.
The next morning, just as Su Mengxue opened the door, a man who looked about her age got out of the car parked at the door. He said to her urgently, "Sister Li sent me to tell you that she found Wang Jun and another woman meeting at a warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Do you want to go and identify them?"
Su Mengxue agreed without hesitation and immediately ran to the backyard to ask for leave from the master.
Zhou Weidong felt that she had been acting mysterious these past few days, so he asked, "Girl, did something happen to you?"
Su Mengxue didn't want Zhou Weidong to worry, so she just said she was there to help the lady make clothes.
Zhou Weidong saw that she didn't look like she was going to make clothes for him, and he knew he couldn't stop her, so he reminded her in a deep voice: "Girl, be careful when you go out."
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened, and then she wrote down the license plate number of the man she had just noticed on a piece of paper and handed it to the old master.
"Grandpa, if I don't come back soon, please find me by following this license plate number."
Zhou Weidong glanced at the license plate number on the paper, felt relieved, and let her go.
After Su Mengxue left the house, she looked at the man waiting at the door, feeling inexplicably uneasy. Just as she was hesitating, the man said to her impatiently, "Hurry up and get in the car. Wang Jun and that woman might leave soon."
Su Mengxue didn't think any more and opened the back door and got in the car.
When the man saw her get into the car, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He then trotted to the driver's seat and quickly started the car.
When the car was about to leave the city, Su Mengxue's hand unconsciously touched the pocket of her clothes. Then she remembered that she had put the jade pendant in her pocket before taking a shower yesterday. In order to avoid losing the jade pendant, she quickly put it on her neck.
At this moment, she clearly discovered that there was a thick green light behind the man in the driver's seat. This was the first time she saw such a green light. She was shocked and was about to speak when she suddenly realized that she should not appear too nervous.
She suppressed her emotions, calmed herself down, and said to him, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Please pull over first. I need to go to the toilet in a hurry."
The man in the driver's seat gave her a wicked smile through the rearview mirror and resumed his usual tone: "Don't you want to find out who's behind Wang Jun's actions? If you delay any longer, aren't you afraid he'll get away?"
Su Mengxue heard him speak with a thick southern accent and felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. Her brain was spinning rapidly, and then her heart stopped and she blurted out, "Are you Wang Jun?"
