Lan Yuzhu stormed over in a fit of rage. When she opened the door and met Lan Yao's gaze, she froze for a moment.
She felt that Lan Yao looked somewhat familiar.
Upon seeing this scene, Political Commissar Zhang's old face turned red with anger.
"What are you doing here? What kind of behavior is this?"
Lan Yuzhu came to her senses and said aggrievedly, "Political Commissar Zhang, I didn't mean to cause trouble. But as Wang Lei's wife and fiancée, how can I stand it when I hear people spreading rumors about him?"
A woman who had come to watch the commotion chimed in, "Yeah, yeah."
"Political Commissar Zhang, Wang Lei is already married to his fiancée, and she's pregnant now. She'll be a mother in a few months. You should investigate this carefully so as not to affect their relationship."
"That's right. You must investigate this matter thoroughly, Political Commissar Zhang. We can't let others slander us at will."
"Besides, who is Wang Lei's fiancée? How could Wang Lei possibly mistake her?"
Everyone chattered away, making the small office lively and bustling. Even people from other offices couldn't resist coming over to see what was going on.
Political Commissar Zhang was at his wits' end. He glared at the military wives who had come to watch the commotion and said irritably, "What business is it of yours? Have you finished your chores? Don't you need to take care of the kids? Go back now."
"Hey, when can't we do housework? When can't we take care of the kids?"
"That's right. We can't leave Xiaolan alone. What if you grown men bully her?"
"Don't worry, Xiaolan, we're all here for you. We won't let anyone bully you."
Lan Yuzhu sniffed and looked at the military wives who had come to watch the commotion, saying, "Thank you. Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me. I'm upright and honest."
After she finished speaking, she looked Lan Yao up and down, seemingly quite dissatisfied.
Lan Yao scoffed at her words, and after looking her up and down in the same way, she suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you say that?"
She looked at Gu Zixiao, who was standing beside her radiating coldness, and asked, "Is she the sparrow who took over the nest?"
Gu Zixiao nodded: "That's true. But if she wants to take it, let her take it. You can take a better Phoenix Nest."
Lan Yao rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Whose phoenix nest are you talking about? I didn't see it."
"It's right here, even if it's far away. Of course it's me." Gu Zixiao moved a little closer to Lan Yao and whispered in her ear, "I can marry into your family. As long as you agree to marry me, I'll even take your surname."
Lan Yao raised her hand and pushed him, rolling her eyes at him: "Why are you standing so close to me? You're covered in sweat, you smell awful."
Gu Zixiao complained, "I don't smell of sweat at all! I smell wonderful!"
The two of them ignored the people around them who were whispering and creating their own little world, completely disregarding everyone else present.
Seeing this, Regiment Commander Li whispered to Political Commissar Zhang, "Why do I feel like Gu Zixiao is starting to fall for someone? Looks like good things are just around the corner."
Political Commissar Zhang rolled his eyes at him: "Is this the time to talk about this? Why are you joining in the commotion?"
In fact, Political Commissar Zhang had also noticed it. Just look at how Gu Zixiao stared straight at Comrade Lan the moment he came in, and even quietly ran to Comrade Lan's side. His clingy, sycophantic manner was simply unbearable to watch.
You should know that Gu Zixiao is usually quite arrogant and domineering in the military region.
When have I ever seen him so humble and coaxing?
Moreover, Gu Zixiao was good-looking, and many girls in the family compound wanted to date him.
But Gu Zixiao is so arrogant that he didn't even glance at him.
Even the way he looked at those young girls was like, 'You bunch of idiots, stay away from me.'
Many girls couldn't bear Gu Zixiao's gaze and covered their faces, sobbing.
Some parents who favor their daughters would have their fathers or brothers come over and fight with Gu Zixiao.
However, Gu Zixiao is strong and has high combat skills.
Parents who came hoping to save face for their younger sister/daughter all went in a huff, then limped back, dejected and gritting their teeth.
Over time, everyone realized that Gu Zixiao, that little bastard, didn't deserve a wife at all.
Because there's simply no one who can control a guy like him who looks down on everyone else.
But now, it seems like someone has Gu Zixiao under their thumb with ease?
If it weren't for other things going on, Political Commissar Zhang would have loved to stand by and watch the show.
Commander Li rubbed his nose: "...I can't help it. This is Gu Zixiao's big event, it's so rare, of course I want to see it."
Political Commissar Zhang remained silent. Hearing Lan Yao's words, Lan Yuzhu clenched her fists and angrily said, "Who are you calling a cuckoo in someone else's nest? You little brat who appeared out of nowhere, trying to slander people with just a few words? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I won't let you off the hook."
But in truth, Lan Yuzhu had no idea what to do and felt a little uneasy.
However, considering that she was now married to Wang Lei and pregnant with his child, what was there for her to be afraid of?
Lan Yao: "I'm slandering you? I don't even know you, why would I slander you? Who do you think you are that I would do this for you?"
I'm afraid you're not worthy of being openly displayed.
“…You, you…” Lan Yuzhu was so angry that her stomach hurt.
When the others saw her like this, they quickly helped her sit up and comforted her.
"Hey, you're pregnant, why are you getting angry with a stranger like her?"
"That's right. Whatever it is, we'll find out when Wang Lei arrives."
Whether it's true or false, it's not up to her to decide.
"Your health is important, don't think too much. When Wang Lei arrives, let him talk to her."
They talked back and forth, as if Lan Yao were some kind of sinner.
Gu Zixiao frowned, somewhat displeased. He scoffed, "You guys are quite good at talking. Should I make your men talk nonsense like you every day?"
Everyone in the same residential compound knows what kind of temper Gu Zixiao has.
If he goes crazy, no one can control him.
Therefore, everyone can only glare at him with anger but dare not speak out.
Gu Zixiao snorted and said to Lan Yao, "It's okay, I'm here. If they dare to talk nonsense again, I'll go talk nonsense to their men."
Lan Yao glanced at him lightly: "Then should I thank you?"
Gu Zixiao: "We're family, what's there to thank? It's my duty."
Lan Yao: ...
I'm so tired!
You can't beat him up yet!
