Chapter 65 A Little Jealous

In the 1970s, not to mention highways, even asphalt roads and cement roads were rare, and most roads were still dirt roads.

Although it was only about 100 kilometers from Qingshui Village to Jingshi City, it took more than three hours to drive there, including taking detours due to the bad roads.

This was even though we had Bai Zihan's credentials and letter of introduction, and everything went smoothly along the way.

Xia Juanjuan hadn't slept for a whole day and night. She was extremely tired, but she couldn't fall asleep even with her eyes closed. She leaned her head against the car window, her mind full of random thoughts.

My previous thoughts were too naive, and I thought I would be able to go to Beijing soon.

Now it seems that even with a letter of introduction from the army and driving a jeep, it will still take more than three hours.

She wanted to come to Beijing by just her own two feet or by riding a bicycle? She really underestimated the inconveniences of this era.

My mind suddenly turned and I somehow remembered the details of the battle with Li on the barren mountain.

Come to think of it, the second in command didn't seem surprised at all that she suddenly appeared beside Li Zhan, and he immediately said that she was Li Zhan's lover...

The only explanation is that before she showed up, there was a woman with Li Zhan, fighting the bandits on the deserted mountain! And... this woman must have acted very close to Li Zhan, otherwise how could the second in command be so sure that she was Li Zhan's lover?

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but frown. What... was this? What... was she?

If Li Zhan has a woman he likes outside, why does he have to call her "wife..." all the time?

No... At that time, Li Zhan had a high fever due to wound infection and was in a trance. "Wife" could also be a name for someone else. After all, he never called her name once...

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Juanjuan felt a little depressed for some reason.

But she quickly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a hint of coldness and indifference in her eyes.

Although she and Li Zhan were legally married, their relationship was in name only and they had no emotional foundation.

If Lizhan really has a lover, she wouldn't care.

Get a divorce if you need one!

It’s not like she can’t survive alone!

While driving, Bai Zihan glanced at Xia Juanjuan, who looked tired and quiet, and said, "You should get some sleep first. I'm afraid you won't arrive until the evening. I'll call you when we get there."

Xia Juanjuan was in a bad mood, so she just nodded, closed her eyes and stopped thinking about those nonsense.

I fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it was before she woke up quietly.

The jeep slowed down and drove into a large, antique courtyard. There was a four-story old building facing north and south, with flying eaves and carved beams, standing against the backdrop of the night and the branches of an old locust tree.

Xia Juanjuan got off the car and looked up at this historic building which was a bit old but still very majestic.

I have heard before that the Beijing Union Hospital was built on the site of an old royal palace. It seems that this world and the world she has not traveled through are indeed roughly identical mirror-image parallel worlds.

Bai Zihan couldn't help but secretly admire Xia Juanjuan when he saw that she was a country woman who had probably never left the village, but she was not the least bit timid and awkward when she came to the most authoritative hospital in the country.

A young nurse had already come over and led Bai Zihan and Xia Juanjuan to the ward where Li Zhan was.

As soon as I entered the hall, I heard a commotion.

"Why are you holding me back? I'm going to meet Li Zhan right now! Do you know that his situation is complicated and he really needs someone close to him to cheer him up?"

A woman in a green military uniform and with two braids shouted hysterically to the two guards who were blocking her.

The two guards were unmoved and said coldly: "Comrade Fang, we are following orders. We cannot let irrelevant personnel disturb the recuperation of Captain Li! In addition, this is a hospital! Please don't act unreasonably and affect other patients!"

This woman is Fang Yunrou.

Fang Yunrou was so angry that her originally pretty face was distorted and looked much uglier.

She shouted even louder, "What irrelevant people? I fought with Li Zhan on the deserted mountain against the bandits. We lived and died together! If I hadn't bandaged Li Zhan's wounds and got him a piece of animal skin to keep him warm, he would have died long ago! And! Do you know who my father is? My father is Fang Fenjin, the commander! I'm warning you! If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for letting my father punish you!"

The two guards glanced at Fang Yunrou coldly. The person who gave them the order was of a much higher rank. A mere division commander was really not enough!

Moreover, his daughter had caused such a big disaster, it was unclear whether he could continue to be the commander until tomorrow morning!

"Comrade Fang, we are warning you one last time. If you make any more noise, don't blame us for being merciless!"

Fang Yunrou had never encountered such a thorn in her life. She was about to shout even more arrogantly when Bai Zihan, who happened to come in, said with a cold and disgusted look on his face: "Fang Yunrou, why are you everywhere? Aren't you satisfied until Li Zhan is dead?"

After hearing what Bai Zihan said, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

From what Fang Yunrou said just now, it seems that she is the "lover" that Lizhan had on the deserted mountain last night. If that is true, then Lizhan's vision is really bad.

She thought it was something stunning...

However, Bai Zihan said that she was the one who harmed Li Zhan, so what was going on?

Fang Yunrou turned around and saw that it was Bai Zihan. She immediately ran over and said, "Bai Zihan, you came at the right time. Please explain to them that Li Zhan and I have that kind of relationship... We have a very close relationship. I was the one who saved Li Zhan last night!"

She was halfway through her words when she noticed Xia Juanjuan beside Bai Zihan and was stunned for a moment.

Out of woman's instinct, Fang Yunrou's first reaction was jealousy.

Who is this woman? Why does she look so... vixen!

The second reaction is contempt and a sense of superiority.

Looking at her shabby clothes, she is obviously an uneducated and ignorant village woman. How can she be compared with the people in her art troupe who can sing, dance, and read and write?

The third reaction is alertness.

She heard that Bai Zihan went to Lizhan's village to pick up the wife his family had chosen for him.

Could it be... that the woman in front of me is?

Xia Juanjuan saw through Fang Yunrou's thoughts at a glance. A hint of sarcasm appeared between her lips. She just watched coldly for the time being.

Bai Zihan was furious: "What do you mean by that kind of relationship you have with Lizhan? A close relationship? I warn you, you have acted on your own this time, causing Lizhan's undercover to be discovered. In order to save you, he was shot and seriously injured, and almost died on the deserted mountain! Do you still want to splash dirty water on Lizhan and damage his reputation? I warn you, Lizhan is already married and has a wife! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

After hearing what Bai Zihan said, Fang Yunrou glared at Xia Juanjuan with hostility and asked shamelessly:

"Bai Zihan, the wife that Li Zhan's family married for him in the countryside is her, right? Look at her, she looks like an uneducated village woman, how can she be worthy of Li Zhan! Isn't she in cahoots with Li Zhan's biased country mother, trying her best to squeeze out Li Zhan's allowance! Humph! It's me that Li Zhan likes! Last night on the deserted mountain, he promised to divorce his uneducated wife and be with me!"

When Bai Zihan heard this, he clenched his fists in anger: "Fang Yunrou! Shut up!"

What a troublemaker! With such a bear-like appearance, where does he get his confidence from?

Li Zhan has been his comrade-in-arms for seven or eight years. Would he not say such a thing? Doesn’t he know?

He can guarantee that even if he dies, Lizhan will never say anything ridiculous like abandoning his wife and children!

If Fang Yunrou wasn't the daughter of his top boss, and a woman, he would have wanted to rush up and slap her in the face!

When the righteousness was hurt internally, there were two crisp "pa pa" sounds.
