The next day at noon, Guan Wenru went home as usual to have lunch with her grandmother.
After finishing her meal, she rested at home for about ten minutes before going out.
She rode back from the livestock depot on a horse today.
When he went to the stables in the family compound to pick up his horse, he ran into Gu Siyu.
To be precise, it was Gu Siyu who was waiting for her here.
Seeing her approach, Gu Siyu put on a deliberately feigned sympathy and mystery. "Wenru, are you going to work?"
Guan Wenru glanced at her and replied indifferently, "Yes, Comrade Gu, is there something you need?"
Gu Siyu took a few steps closer, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "Wenru, I know you have a problem with me..."
Although she didn't know what she was going to say, Guan Wenru really didn't want to argue with her, and interrupted in a cold voice, "Since you know that, don't come near me. I find it disgusting."
"..." Gu Siyu's face stiffened, and she was furious inside.
But she still continued, "Wenru, we are both military dependents now, and we should help each other. I really want to be your friend."
So after I discovered some things, I felt guilty and would have to betray you if I didn't tell you.
"Ha...Does Comrade Gu even have a conscience?" Guan Wenru's hands didn't stop moving; she had already untied the horse's reins.
Gu Siyu clenched her fists. "Whether you appreciate it or not, I still have to tell you that I heard from Wan Tao that Yan Zhi's mission this time is not an emergency mission."
He was in a hurry to leave because of a woman he had been searching for for four years; she was his savior.
Guan Wenru paused slightly in the hand holding the riding whip, but did not look up at her.
Seeing that she didn't react, Gu Siyu became even more enthusiastic, "Hey... I heard that the woman is quite pretty, and she's a female soldier in the cultural troupe."
He's been detained and is under investigation simply because of his family background. When I heard about it, I was frantic... and that's why I rushed over! Wow, that's quite a relationship!
A gloating glint flashed in Gu Siyu's eyes.
She observed Guan Wenru's jawline tighten instantly and continued to add fuel to the fire, "Wenru, if you hadn't forced him to get married halfway through, the woman Yanzhi would have married would have been that comrade!"
The woman left Yan Zhi some important note, which he treasured and kept hidden away. He would get furious if anyone touched it!
You tell me, how much do you really care about Yan Zhi?
Wenru, do you think Yanzhi went in such a hurry this time, purely to repay a debt of gratitude... or...?
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, leaving room for endless imagination.
"Finished?" Guan Wenru's face was as cold as ice. "You're just hoping for problems to arise in my relationship with my lover..."
As if struck by a sudden thought, she let out a cold laugh, "Gu Siyu, do you think... Wan Tao knows how much you care about He Yanzhi?"
Does he know you're making unfounded accusations and spreading rumors? Does he know you call me "lover" so affectionately?
I don't think he knows; I'll go talk to him about it in a bit.
Gu Siyu's face flushed red and then turned pale, exasperated. "You've taken my kindness for granted! I was just trying to warn you, believe it or not!"
After saying that, she slunk away and hurried back to Courtyard No. 2.
Just then, Guan Wanxin came out from the other end of the stable.
She handed the hat she was holding to Guan Wenru, saying, "You silly child, you even forgot your hat."
Guan Wenru forced a smile, "Grandma, you heard everything?"
"Hmm." Guan Wanxin helped her put her hat on herself. "Don't believe everything you hear. You need to make your own judgments. Yan Zhi is a very responsible person. He knows what he should do."
Guan Wenru nodded, "I know, Grandma, please go home soon."
After Guan Wanxin entered the courtyard, she rode her horse forward.
She sat on horseback, her expression solemn.
She believed that He Yanzhi would not betray their marriage, but she was still upset.
In her past life, she spent so many years with He Yanzhi, yet she never knew he had a savior.
Looking back now, she realizes that she doesn't seem to know He Yanzhi very well.
The sun was shining brightly today, but a gloomy cloud still hung over her heart.
If He Yanzhi really wants to marry that 'savior,' she might be able to file for divorce when he returns.
......
That evening, Wan Tao returned from the camp and ran into Guan Wanxin.
Wan Tao quickly took two steps forward and asked with concern, "Mr. Guan, where are you going? Do you need me to take you there?"
Guan Wanxin smiled and said, "The weather is nice today, and I'd like to take a stroll around this residential compound. Political Commissar Wan, do you have time to accompany this old lady?"
They were both smart people, and Wan Tao knew as soon as he heard this that Guan Wanxin was probably waiting for him on purpose today.
He nodded quickly, "It's my honor."
The two strolled around the family compound, and Guan Wanxin casually asked, "I heard from Yanzhi that your father has passed away, and your mother is living in your hometown with your two children?"
"Yes, they live with my older brother's family."
Guan Wanxin's smile deepened, but her eyes sharpened. "Political Commissar Wan, please forgive this old lady for saying so much. As a person... you must have a scale in your heart. You can't be biased and hurt the feelings of your old mother and children."
Wan Tao's heart skipped a beat, sensing that Mr. Guan's words had a hidden meaning. "Mr. Guan, what do you mean by that..."
Guan Wanxin's tone remained gentle, "Your two children are of school age. As their father, you should prioritize their education! It can't be delayed!"
Wan Tao was a little embarrassed. "Our production brigade also has a school."
