Chapter 17 That Girl



Guan Wanxin narrowed her sharp eyes. "They have no right to cause trouble in front of me."

Guan Wenru patted Guan Wanxin's hand and said, "Grandma, if they want to make a scene, let's go along with it, as long as they don't regret it."

Guan Wanxin gently stroked her nose with her index finger. "You're getting more and more mischievous, but Grandma loves you just the way you are. If you want to deal with them, just go for it, Grandma will back you up."

Her granddaughter used to be too soft-hearted, always acting like a so-called lady from a respectable family... a refined lady from a prestigious family.

But it is precisely because of her weak nature that she was deceived, bullied, and raised an ungrateful person for decades.

She will never again demand that her granddaughter be dignified, elegant, gentle, and virtuous.

All she wants is for her granddaughter to live a carefree and unrestrained life, and to no longer be bullied by anyone.

With a few hours left before the end of the workday, Guan Wenru told Guan Wanxin to go back to her room to rest, and she also went back to her own room.

There was a vinyl record player in her room. In her previous life, during the destruction of the Four Olds, these things were labeled as "reactionary" and were all smashed to pieces by the Red Guards.

These things are characteristic of this era, and she wants to preserve them.

Anyway, she won't listen to me for the next few days, so she moved everything into the space.

She still had many cheongsams in her wardrobe, but at the wrong time, cheongsams became the wrong thing and could not be taken out.

Before leaving, she always had to hide.

Fortunately, she had enough space; before leaving, she could move an entire wardrobe into the space.

There are also various antique vases and calligraphy and paintings in her house.

She put them all into the space first.

After doing all this, she lay down on the bed, and as soon as she had some free time, she suddenly felt empty inside.

He Yanzhi's cold face keeps appearing in my mind.

What exactly is He Yanzhi thinking?

Was his cold attitude towards her due to consideration for his brotherhood with Han Haoxian, or was it simply because he disliked her?

After she and her grandmother went to join the army, they would face him every day. What if he disliked her?

Thinking about these problems, Guan Wenru scratched her head in frustration, making her hair a mess.

Lying in bed thinking, she eventually fell asleep.

...

Meanwhile, Han Haoxian, who was in the family compound, approached He Yanzhi.

When Grandma He saw him coming over, and that he looked so angry, she frowned.

Before she could say anything, Han Haoxian simply nodded to her, "Grandma He, I'm looking for Yan Zhi."

Before Old Mrs. He could even utter a sound, Han Haoxian rushed upstairs in one breath.

Yesterday, He Yanzhi punched Han Haoxian. Fearing that Han Haoxian would retaliate, Old Madam He quickly turned around and went to find the old man in the study.

"Old He, quickly call the security office and ask them to send two people over. I'm afraid those two kids will start fighting."

Grandpa He immediately understood what was going on.

He narrowed his eyes. "This is such a small matter, you don't need to worry about the guard room! They're not three-year-olds. One is a regimental commander, and the other is a battalion commander. If they can fight and make a scene over something like this, they might as well both retire."

Grandma He pretended to be angry and patted his shoulder. "You're like a three-year-old. I think you just want to see those two kids fight it out. You and Old Han have been fighting all your lives, and now you want to see your grandchildren fight it out?"

Old Master He raised an eyebrow. "Nonsense, I have no such intention. Alright, I'll go have a chat with Old Han. Today is a joyous day for our He family, and I need to tell Old Han about Yan Zhi and Wen Ru getting their marriage certificate."

Grandma He: "..."

I think you won't stop until you've really angered Old Han next door.

...

Before Han Haoxian rushed into the house, He Yanzhi, who was sitting on the sofa, was holding the marriage certificate.

On a thin sheet of paper, his name and Guan Wenru's name were listed side by side.

Looking at the contents of the marriage certificate, he felt complicated, but another blurry figure was on his mind.

He put down the marriage certificate and picked up an old piece of paper from the side.

The paper has turned a bit yellow, but the words on it are still clearly visible.

He now has a wife, so it seems he and the owner of this piece of paper will never have a chance again.

Four years ago, he was in charge of tracking down two enemy agents, and eventually discovered that the two agents were near Tangshan.

Upon arriving at the scene, he indeed accomplished his mission, preventing the two enemy agents from blowing up the railway line from Tangshan to Beijing.

But he was seriously injured in the fight with the two enemy agents.

He fought the two enemy agents in a remote location, and after being injured, he had no way to call for help.

He mustered his last breath and crawled out of the woods, eventually collapsing on a main road.

Before he passed out, he heard two female voices.

One of them said in a trembling voice, "Sister Blue Sky, let's hurry up and leave. That person seems to have a gun on his waist."

The girl called 'Blue Sky' had a trembling voice, but her tone was firm: "No, we can't just leave like this. He's wearing a military uniform, he must be a People's Liberation Army comrade. Look, his fingers are still moving, he's still alive. If we just leave like this, in this remote place, he definitely won't survive."

Upon hearing these two sentences, he forced himself to look up, wanting to ask for help.

But by then, he was exhausted, his vision was blurred, and he couldn't make out what the two women walking toward him looked like.

All he knew was that the two women were wearing blue and red plaid dresses and black leather shoes.

The two of them must come from well-off families.
