Listening to their conversation, Jiang Yue twitched her lips speechlessly.
Is Zhao Lanxi afraid that others won't know she's rich?
Ignoring Zhao Lanxi and Qiao Zhengxu who had left, she sat down again and put a steamed bun on Lu Jingnian's plate. "Let's eat quickly and not get angry over irrelevant people."
When Jiang Yue met Zhao Lanxi, she felt a little unlucky, but she wasn't particularly angry.
However, Jiang Yue was quite surprised to learn about Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi's divorce.
While eating, Jiang Yue chatted with Lu Jingnian, "I was a little surprised that Zhao Lanxi could divorce Pei Hengzhi."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingnian paused in his chopsticks, looked up at Jiang Yue with a dangerous gaze, and asked in a slightly cold and unhappy tone, "You're not still thinking about him, are you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Yue didn't know why Lu Jingnian would ask such a question. "Don't you already know about my situation? It's that person who likes Pei Hengzhi, not me."
She never liked Pei Hengzhi.
"I'm just curious what could have caused Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi to divorce."
They are the male and female leads.
"You really want to know?" Lu Jingnian's eyes flashed with a cunning glint when he saw that she seemed genuinely interested in Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi's divorce.
"Do you have a solution?"
Jiang Yue didn't see the cunning glint in Lu Jingnian's eyes. Hearing him ask that question, Jiang Yue guessed that he must have a way to find out.
Lu Jingnian said, "Divorce is not an easy thing these days, especially since Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi are in a military marriage. This matter is bound to cause quite a stir. I'll call Yu Xiangdong when I get back and ask what's going on."
Right, Political Commissar Yu is still in City A, and he's in the same unit as Pei Hengzhi, so he must know what's going on.
"I knew my husband was the best to me."
Jiang Yue absolutely adores Lu Jingnian.
After the two finished breakfast and returned home, Lu Jingnian called Yu Xiangdong.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Xiangdong was so excited when he received Lu Jingnian's call that his voice was practically piercing the sky.
Jiang Yue could imagine just by thinking about it, without even seeing him, how excited Yu Xiangdong must be at that moment.
"Old Lu, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I was going to apply to the higher-ups to come and find you."
So many years have passed, and so many times he thought Lu Jingnian was almost gone.
"I just got back not long ago. My situation is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you when I return to City A in a while." On the phone, Lu Jingnian didn't explain his situation to Yu Xiangdong in detail, and quickly steered the conversation to Pei Hengzhi.
Soon, Lu Jingnian asked Yu Xiangdong, "What exactly happened to Pei Hengzhi?"
Why did they get divorced when everything seemed fine?
He had the hands-free mode on, and Jiang Yue stood to the side listening attentively.
"How did you find out about this?" Political Commissar Yu asked on the other end of the phone.
Lu Jingnian didn't hide anything and recounted his encounter with Zhao Lanxi and Qiao Zhengxu that morning.
Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Yu sneered, "I heard that these two have quite a big business, I didn't expect they've even expanded to the south."
As he spoke, Political Commissar Yu quickly recounted Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi's divorce to Lu Jingnian.
Because this matter was not a secret in the military and the compound. When Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi divorced, it caused quite a stir, and almost everyone knew what had happened.
"Actually, this matter really makes people feel sorry for Pei Hengzhi. When Zhao Lanxi and Pei Hengzhi got married, almost everyone was optimistic about them. After marriage, their relationship was also very good. Zhao Lanxi often came to the army to see Pei Hengzhi. Many people envied Pei Hengzhi."
"Later, for some unknown reason, Zhao Lanxi, who was working at the hospital, quit her job and started a business. You all know Pei Hengzhi; he was very good to Zhao Lanxi. When he heard that Zhao Lanxi wanted to start a business, he was quite supportive. He was even worried that she wouldn't have enough funds, so he borrowed money from his comrades to give Zhao Lanxi as capital."
"At that time, Qiao Zhengxu had just been discharged from the army and was about to start his own business. Pei Hengzhi was worried that Zhao Lanxi, a woman, would encounter dangers while traveling around doing business, so he suggested that Zhao Lanxi cooperate with Qiao Zhengxu..."
Perhaps because of their business dealings, the two were often seen together, and rumors gradually began to circulate in the compound, some quite unpleasant. This caused the Pei family to develop some reservations about Zhao Lanxi, and they asked Pei Hengzhi to persuade her. The Pei family's point was that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Lanxi doing business, and they supported her, but she should be mindful of her image and not get too close to Qiao Zhengxu.
"Unexpectedly, Zhao Lanxi felt that the Pei family was insulting her after hearing these words. She and Qiao Zhengxu were innocent, yet they were slandered like this. She argued with the Pei family. Pei Hengzhi was caught in the middle and had a dilemma. However, he was the one who arranged for Qiao Zhengxu to cooperate with Zhao Lanxi in the first place, and he also trusted Zhao Lanxi. In this matter, he was on Zhao Lanxi's side."
"This led to Zhao Lanxi becoming increasingly unrestrained, frequently going in and out of hotels with Qiao Zhengxu, and the rumors became increasingly nasty. Later, Zhao Lanxi became pregnant, but for the sake of her business, she secretly had an abortion. Pei Hengzhi only found out about this afterward from Qiao Zhengxu, which led to a fight with Zhao Lanxi. Then Zhao Lanxi said that Pei Hengzhi did not trust her and threatened to divorce him."
"At first, Pei Hengzhi disagreed, but then something happened. One day, Pei Hengzhi brought his comrades home and happened to see Zhao Lanxi and Qiao Zhengxu at home. I heard that Zhao Lanxi had drunk too much and that she and Qiao Zhengxu were being quite intimate..."
Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian understood what was to come without Political Commissar Yu saying anything.
"Anyway, because of this incident, everyone said that Pei Hengzhi was cheated on, but there was no substantial evidence. In the end, the two had a very unpleasant argument and got divorced."
After Political Commissar Yu finished speaking, he asked Lu Jingnian in a somewhat cheeky tone, "Why are you so concerned about Pei Hengzhi and Zhao Lanxi's affairs?"
Are you worried that Pei Hengzhi will harass his younger brother and sister-in-law after the divorce?
Lu Jingnian's face darkened upon hearing this, and he immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, my Yueyue doesn't like Pei Hengzhi at all."
Commissar Yu's smile became even more sly. "As the saying goes, even a virtuous woman can be swayed by a persistent suitor. Luckily, you're back now. Besides, your sister-in-law has been in Beijing for the past few years and hasn't come back, so she hasn't had any contact with Pei Hengzhi."
I heard from Jiang Zheng that ever since Pei Hengzhi and Zhao Lanxi divorced, he's secretly asked him about his sister-in-law several times. You'd better be careful.
Lu Jingnian's expression was originally quite good, but upon hearing these words, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"He's sick."
Why would you bother asking about Yueyue's activities?
Jiang Yue's lips twitched. Why was Pei Hengzhi asking about her for no reason?
Political Commissar Yu smiled again, "Don't be angry. You have to believe in your sister-in-law's feelings for you."
