Before Lan Yao could speak, Gu Zixiao said with a half-smile, "The premise of your assumption is somewhat ridiculous. First of all, if someone were to imitate your man's handwriting, they would need to know your man. Judging from Comrade Lan's personality, she would definitely disdain doing such a thing, because it is completely unnecessary."
"How do you know it's completely unnecessary? Do you even know what kind of personality she has? What's your relationship with her? Why do you need to defend her?" Lan Yuzhu said somewhat indignantly.
"Besides, how do you know this woman isn't after my man and is doing this on purpose to be with him?"
Gu Zixiao chuckled twice: "As expected, idiots are a perfect match. Talking to someone like you is a waste of breath and intelligence."
"Oh, shall I say something?" Lan Yao said casually.
Lan Yao did it on purpose, making Gu Zixiao insist on stepping forward to help.
"...Then I'll say it. Otherwise, I might start hitting someone."
"Your habit is quite good. I think you can hit someone first and then try to reason with them."
Gu Zixiao curled the corners of her lips: "Then I'll do it this way from now on?"
Lan Yao: "...That won't do. We can talk about the future later. We need to do the present thing now."
Gu Zixiao nodded: "That makes sense. Shall I beat someone up first?"
Lan Yao nodded.
Political Commissar Zhang: ...
Commander Li: ...
Wang Lei: ...
Everyone: ...
Wait, what's going on with you two singing in unison?
Gu Zixiao didn't waste any words. If they really went to fight Wang Lei, Political Commissar Zhang would be in a real bind. He quickly stopped Gu Zixiao and said to Lan Yao, "Comrade Lan, we can't resort to violence. Otherwise, even if you're in the right, you'll lose your reason."
Lan Yao said "Oh," and then added, "...Okay. Gu Zixiao, you come back first, let's save it up for now."
Gu Zixiao snorted, somewhat reluctantly: "...Fine."
Lei Shengrong whispered to Wang Zhenfeng, "I never expected that our boss would encounter an even crazier person. Now the chain is on his hands too."
Wang Zhenfeng: "That's still better than being tied to someone else's hands."
Lei Shengrong: "That's true. But I really didn't expect our boss to be so infatuated, falling in love so quickly."
王振峰心说，咱们老大一个单身二十多年没爱过人的老光棍，一下子就被人夺了初吻，又被人家摸了一个遍，除了这点，兰同志还把老大给揍了，又让老大见识到自己厉害的一面。
The leader, such a capable person, was severely suppressed both psychologically and physically by someone even more capable than himself.
It's hard for someone like him, who admires strength, to keep his composure.
Besides, Comrade Lan is indeed very charismatic.
If I could beat the boss, I'd also want a woman like Comrade Lan who makes me feel so safe.
Wang Lei let out a breath, his heart also churning. He said coldly, "Commander, this is between me and this female comrade. I hope you won't get involved. And this female comrade, just like my wife said, these things alone don't prove anything."
Lan Yao: "Of course, there's more than that. The whole village knows about our engagement. I have the certificates written by the village secretary and the brigade leader, as well as the signed marriage contract between us."
You'll find out when you ask around.
Of course, besides that, the person my grandfather recommended you to the army back then also proves this point.
Besides these, when we got engaged, my grandfather gave you a piece of jade as a token of our betrothal.
It's hanging around your wife's neck now, isn't it?
Lan Yao reached out to Wang Lei: "Now that you've married someone else, I hope you'll return that jade. It was carved by my grandfather himself and given to me."
Lan Yuzhu instinctively covered her neck and looked at Wang Lei: "Wang Lei, those are my things, you can't listen to her nonsense."
Gu Zixiao stepped forward immediately. He was so fast that before Lan Yuzhu could react, he had already pulled the jade off her neck.
Lan Yuzhu let out a scream, and bloodstains appeared on her fair neck.
Wang Lei was immediately annoyed. Seeing his beloved Lan Yuzhu injured, he disregarded everything and attacked Gu Zixiao.
Gu Zixiao scoffed. If he couldn't beat Lan Yao, how could he not beat Wang Lei?
It didn't take much effort at all; he kicked Wang Lei to the ground in just two moves.
Gu Zixiao mimicked how Lan Yao used to treat him, half-squatting in front of Wang Lei, patting his cheek, and smiling: "Don't overestimate yourself."
Wang Zhenfeng covered his face: "...Boss, you really are..."
Lei Shengrong was so embarrassed he wanted to scratch his toes.
Li Sangyan: "Boss, when did you become like this?"
Political Commissar Zhang just wanted to facepalm. He pointed at Gu Zixiao angrily and said, "Gu Zixiao, what's wrong with you? Don't you remember who you are? Why are you acting like a thug?"
Gu Zixiao handed the jade pendant he had snatched from Lan Yuzhu's neck to Lan Yao, remaining remarkably calm in the face of Political Commissar Zhang's accusations.
"I'm from a special department, so my way of doing things is naturally different."
"You..." Political Commissar Zhang was about to speak.
Lan Yao then said to Political Commissar Zhang, "This jade pendant is mine. My name is on it."
Lan Yao pointed to the pattern on the small jade pendant and showed it to everyone. When held up to the sunlight, the two characters "Lan Yao" were indeed displayed.
Lan Yao looked at Lan Yuzhu with a half-smile: "Don't tell me your name is Lan Yao."
Lan Yuzhu covered her neck and stubbornly said, "I, my name is Lan Yao, but I changed it later."
Lan Yao chuckled twice: "My two names have a story behind them. My grandfather's surname is Lan, and my grandmother's surname is Yao. To show his love for me, my grandfather combined my grandmother's surname to give me these names. As for whether you actually had these names before, a simple check will tell you."
After Lan Yao finished speaking, her mental energy enveloped Lan Yuzhu and Wang Lei.
Lan Yuzhu couldn't help but reveal the truth.
"I... I'm not called Lan Yao. My real name is Yu Zhu. I'm the youngest daughter in my family, and my parents love me dearly. That's why my dad named me Yu Zhu."
This has always been my name. As for that awful name, Lan Yao, I don't care for it at all; it's so tacky it's unbearable.
Lan Yao: "So how did you get together with Wang Lei?"
Lan Yuzhu snorted: "It was an accidental encounter. At the time, I didn't like him at all, but he kept pestering me. Later, when I found out that he was in the army and had a promising future, I reluctantly agreed to date him."
But I really don't like him.
Lan Yao: "So how did you fall for him and insist on being with him?"
Lan Yuzhu: "That's because my cousin wrote me a letter..."
