Chapter 506 Abandoning Wife and Children
The soldier knew that, at the least, this incident ruined Deputy Battalion Commander Liu’s wedding, and at the most, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu violated military regulations by marrying someone else when he already had a wife and children at home, so he kept his voice low.
Although he spoke low, the people at the table still heard it.
Everyone’s faces changed, especially Yunxiang, who was standing next to Liu Yuanzheng. She was surprised and puzzled, with disbelief written all over her face, and she looked at her groom without blinking.
After hearing this, Liu Yuanzheng denied it without thinking:
“It’s impossible. There is no wife in my hometown, let alone children. It must be a lie.”
Although he said so, where is this place? It's the army! Who is so bold as to come to the army to cheat and cause trouble?
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, you'd better go over and take a look. If it's a scammer, we will deal with it in time to prevent the matter from getting bigger and bigger." The soldier reminded in a low voice.
Liu Yuanzheng was hesitating whether to go over. After all, his wedding with Yunxiang was in progress. If all the guests left like this, it would inevitably make others suspicious and Yunxiang would lose face.
"Did the woman say what her name was?" It was Lu Jingchen who asked the question.
"Report to the Lu Regiment, she said, she said her last name is He, and her name is He Shanshan." The soldier replied quickly.
Hearing the name "He Shanshan", Liu Yuanzheng, who was originally puzzled, suddenly changed his face, surprised, flustered, at a loss, angry...
In an instant, many emotions surged in her heart, and she unconsciously looked at Yunxiang standing beside her.
That look seemed to be asking for help, and it seemed that he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start.
Hearing that He Shanshan came and claimed to be Liu Yuanzheng's wife, Lu Jingqi and Xia Qingli were very surprised. The last time He Shanshan came to the army to find Liu Yuanzheng, she wanted to "trick" Liu Yuanzheng, but the plan was discovered before it was implemented.
At that time, no evidence was found on her, so Liu Yuanzheng was asked to send her away. Liu Yuanzheng hated He Shanshan so much at that time, so it was impossible for him to have anything to do with her.
But now why did He Shanshan come to his house again, and said that she was Liu Yuanzheng's daughter-in-law, and even brought her child with her. What was going on between the two of them?
"Let's appease the guests first, and then we'll go and see what's going on." Lu Jingchen looked at Liu Yuanzheng and said.
As Liu Yuanzheng's leader, Lu Jingchen naturally couldn't pretend that his subordinates had "problems with their work style". He had to find out the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to the troops.
"Yes." Liu Yuanzheng replied, then found a reason to explain to the guests, followed Lu Jingchen and the soldiers who came to report the news and walked to the gate of the military area.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Yunxiang walked up and said to Liu Yuanzheng. She didn't make a big fuss, which was enough to give Liu Yuanzheng face.
But such a thing happened on the day of the wedding, even the calmest people couldn't sit still.
She didn't turn against Liu Yuanzheng on the spot and question him what was wrong, but she was so calm and rational to leave him some dignity, which was already very rare.
Knowing what kind of person He Shanshan was, and fearing that Yunxiang would not be able to handle it if she went there, Xia Qingying hesitated for a moment, walked up, took Yunxiang's arm, and said,
"I'll go with you."
Knowing that the other party was going to support her, Yunxiang looked at Xia Qingying gratefully, then nodded and said,
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xia."
Xia Qingying patted her hands and silently comforted her. She could understand Yunxiang's feelings very well. After all, which woman would not be anxious or angry on the day of her wedding when she was told that her husband had a wife and children in his hometown?
Su Xiangnan and Mo Ya did not go with them. The guests were already suspicious. If too many people went, everyone would inevitably guess the bad side. So they stayed and at the same time reassured the guests.
Several people walked quickly towards the gate of the military district. On the way, Lu Jingzhen asked Liu Yuanzheng and He Shanshan in a serious tone what was going on.
Liu Yuanzheng kept emphasizing that he had nothing to do with He Shanshan and didn't know why she came to him.
While talking, several people had already arrived at the gate of the military district. Not far away, they saw a fat woman holding a child and shouting something loudly.
Xia Qingqing looked at her for a long time before recognizing that the woman was He Shanshan.
It's no wonder that she couldn't recognize her. Although He Shanshan had dark spots on her skin before, her facial features and figure were still okay. However, the woman in front of her was not only fat, but also had sparse hair, rough skin, and two big dark circles under her eyes. She was really two different people.
As soon as she saw Liu Yuanzheng, He Shanshan immediately smiled and ran over quickly with the child in her arms. While putting the child in Liu Yuanzheng's arms, she said excitedly:
"Yuanzheng, you are finally here. I have been talking for a long time, but they would not let me in." After that, she said with great pride:
"I gave birth to a son for you. Look, we have a son."
Liu Yuanzheng's hands and feet were stiff. He just stood there, looking at He Shanshan without blinking. He could understand every word she said, but he couldn't understand it when they were put together.
"He Shanshan, don't talk nonsense. How can we have a child? We can't have a child!" Liu Yuanzheng did not hide his disgust for He Shanshan and quickly defended himself.
Although Liu Yuanzheng had no intention of picking up the child, He Shanshan still put the child in his arms with a smile on her face, saying flatteringly:
"Yuanzheng, this is your son, look how much he looks like you! Haha... they are exactly the same."
Because Lu Jingqi and Liu Yuanzheng were walking in front, they were tall and blocked Xia Qingli and Yunxiang. He Shanshan's attention was on Liu Yuanzheng at this time, so she didn't notice that there were two people behind them.
Yunxiang didn't move forward, trying to keep her face calm, but she unconsciously clenched her hands, which showed how angry she was at the moment.
Xia Qingling patted her hands, signaling her not to get excited, then walked forward and looked at He Shanshan and Liu Yuanzheng. When she heard He Shanshan say that the child and Liu Yuanzheng were cut from the same mold, she unconsciously focused her eyes on the child's face wrapped in the quilt.
The child was sleeping with his eyes closed, with a big forehead, yellow eyebrows, a flat nose, and thick lips... His appearance couldn't be said to be exactly the same as Liu Yuanzheng's, it was simply unrelated.
He Shanshan's words "cut from the same mold" were really puzzling.
What was even more strange was that despite the loud noise, the child was still sleeping soundly, as if he couldn't hear any sound from outside.
The look in Liu Yuanzheng's eyes when he looked at the child was obviously the same disgust as the one he looked at He Shanshan. He warned her sternly:
"He Shanshan, this is a military unit. You will be sentenced for slandering military officers!"
"Yuanzheng, what did you say? How could I slander you? The child is..." He suddenly stopped talking here.
Because her eyes suddenly caught sight of the big red boutonniere with the word "groom" written on it on Liu Yuanzheng's chest, her face immediately changed color, and she roared and questioned:
"You are getting married today? Who are you marrying? You have a wife and a son, and you still dare to marry someone else, Liu Yuanzheng, you have no conscience, I was wondering why you don't acknowledge us, it turns out you want to get rid of us and marry someone else, wuwu... Liu Yuanzheng, you are not a human being, not a human being..."
