"My mom even said she wanted me to marry a military officer when I was little. Have you seen me get married? It's really funny that you bring up things that adults used to joke about when we were kids."
As Chen Shengnan spoke, she walked through the crowd to Su Li, who had only been there a short while and had only heard the gist of the story.
"You...you all bullied me, boohoo..."
Seeing that everyone was siding with Su Li, Murong Lan turned and ran away.
Murong Xiao had already stood up by this time. Seeing his younger sister run away, he hurriedly chased after her.
"You're a grown woman, why do you cry when you can't win an argument?"
Once everyone had seen the excitement was over, they all dispersed.
Chen Shengnan walked over to Su Li and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Um"
Su Li glanced at the scarf in Gou Sheng's hand, her heart sinking slightly. When she gave the scarf to Gu Huanian, she had said that it was not allowed to be worn by anyone else.
Unexpectedly, he still broke his promise. No matter where things go between them in the future, she will never knit this scarf for him again.
That's just how she is; even when she eventually finds out he wasn't wrong.
Gou Sheng thought Su Li had just given it to him out of anger, and seeing her staring blankly at the scarf, he quickly handed it over.
"Sister, why don't you keep this scarf for yourself?"
He had just realized that the gift was given to that Battalion Commander Gu by his sister, but he didn't know why it had ended up with another woman.
"I said I'd give it to you, so here it is. Keep it safe and don't be like others and give away the things I give you to other people, or I won't give them to you again next time."
"Okay, I will always cherish the gift my sister gave me and never give it to anyone else."
Su Li nodded; "I'll go get you some nuts."
She entered the room, her eyes filled with coldness; this was the first time she had felt a desire to withdraw from the relationship.
Su Li quickly calmed down, took out two apples from her spatial storage, and some nuts that she had roasted earlier.
The three of them chatted, drank tea, and ate nuts in the main room, which was quite pleasant.
On the other side, Gu Huanian returned home that evening after his train arrived at the station.
The next morning, when he was about to go to the military base, he opened his wardrobe and found that his scarf was missing.
He searched the room thoroughly but couldn't find the scarf.
"Why can't I find it?"
Just then, Wang Ma happened to pass by the room, and Gu Huanian called out to her, "Wang Ma, have you seen the scarf in my closet?"
Wang Ma remembered that when Murong Lan left that day, she seemed to be holding a scarf in her hand.
Is it the blue one?
Upon hearing this, Gu Huanian assumed that Wang Ma had taken it to wash while helping to tidy the room.
So he said, "Wang Ma, you can wash that scarf and my clothes yourself. Don't take them next time."
"Young Master Gu, I didn't take your scarf. You should ask Madam about it!"
"Ask my mom?"
Wang Ma nodded, but she didn't dare say too much else, worried that if Murong Lan found out, she would have the mistress fire her.
Gu Huanian hurried downstairs and into the yard, where he saw Chen Shujing watering the roses.
He stepped forward and asked, "Mom, have you seen my blue scarf?"
Chen Shujing didn't look into her son's eyes; she kept staring at the pot of roses.
"What scarf? I haven't seen it. You didn't lose it yourself, so come and ask me!"
Seeing her like this, Gu Huanian roughly guessed that she must know where the scarf is.
"Mom, that scarf was knitted for me by my boyfriend. She'll be angry if I lose it. Can you tell me where I put it?"
"I really didn't see it."
"Mom! Give me the scarf." Gu Huanian was genuinely angry, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.
His mother was very gentle when he was little. She told him that when he grew up, he must find a girl he liked.
I don't know when it started, but my mother changed, becoming the complete opposite of her former self.
"You brat, how dare you talk to your mother like that?"
As soon as Mr. Gu stepped into the yard, he heard his son yelling at his wife.
"Dad, please talk to Mom. She took the scarf my boyfriend gave me."
Is it blue?
"yes"
When Gu's father heard this, his heart skipped a beat. That day, when he came home from get off work, he saw Murong Lan leaving their house from afar, carrying that blue scarf in her hand.
His wife used to be a good person, but she's become increasingly stubborn in recent years. I don't know why she's set her sights on Murong Lan.
If I were to actually marry her, the house would be in chaos every day, but unfortunately, my wife just can't see through me.
"Dad, tell me quickly, where is that scarf now?"
Seeing how anxious her son was, it seems that the girl still holds a significant place in his heart.
“I saw Lanlan take it that day.”
"What?"
"Who gave her permission to take it? Who gave her permission to enter my room?"
Seeing her son's bloodshot eyes, Chen Shujing became furious: "I got it for her, I allowed her in. She's your future daughter-in-law, what's wrong with me letting her into your room?"
“Mom, I have nothing to do with her. Why are you trying to drag me into this? I already have a boyfriend. How many times do I have to tell you before you listen? Is she really that great that you would sacrifice your son for her?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shujing clutched her chest, her face turning pale. "Fine! That's really good. My own son is starting to blame me. What's so great about that wild girl outside? You're going to talk back to your mother for her sake."
Gu Huanian still wanted to argue his point. In his heart, Su Li was the best, and no one else could replace her. Why couldn't his mother understand? She was very gentle when he was little.
