Xu Keke successfully divorced Zhou Chengguang.
Zhou Chengguang was moved by her words and let Xu Keke stab him mercilessly.
Xu Keke didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. She always believed that the outcome of things varied from person to person. Some people succeed not because they are particularly outstanding, but largely because they are lucky. Just like Zhou Chengguang in her previous life, he was simply lucky to have met the kind-hearted Feng Lichun.
In this life, he was unlucky and met Xu Keke. Let's see if he can still achieve success and fame.
Zhou Chengguang's ability to raise money exceeded Xu Keke's expectations.
Having received the money, Xu Keke had no intention of lingering in the military. Knowing she wanted to leave with her child immediately, her former superior pointed to the injured guard and said, "He's going back to the city anyway, let him take you there."
The guard's hat was pulled down low, obscuring his eyes. He nodded slightly and didn't utter a single word from him.
Xu Keke first took the two children back to the guesthouse to get their luggage. Besides two quilts, there were only two small, worn-out jackets. They needed to sleep there that night, so Xu Keke dared not throw anything away. She and Da Cui each carried a roll of bedding, while Yuanbao slung a bundle over one shoulder.
The two children seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing, in a daze. They were unsure how to react, so they remained silent. Xu Keke noticed this, but didn't have time to intervene.
As they left the camp, Xu Keke intended to lead the children back to the guesthouse. The old leader's guard quickly got into the car, opened the door discreetly, and upon arriving at the guesthouse entrance, he seemed to realize that Yuanbao, sitting on the other side, couldn't open the car door, so he quickly jumped out and opened the door for them.
Perhaps he wanted to come back quickly, or perhaps he really had something to do. Although he didn't say anything, Xu Keke could tell that he was genuinely anxious.
So Xu Keke didn't dare to delay and took the child and their things and headed out.
Seeing Xu Keke and the others carrying their bundles and walking out, Zhao Xiuying also came out of the house. "Lichun, you...you really want to take the child back?"
Zhao Xiuying was somewhat at a loss as they left. She followed them shakily to the car and saw that the driver was a soldier. The car was similar to the one she had ridden in yesterday. She looked at Xu Keke and said, "You see, Yuanbao's dad isn't a bad person. He even found a car to take you away."
Xu Keke smiled but didn't say anything more. After Da Cui and Yuan Bao said goodbye to Zhao Xiuying, the car sped away.
Zhao Xiuying stood there, feeling an indescribable sadness, as if something was missing. She had been quite happy yesterday when she went out with those two women. But today, watching Xu Keke leave with the child, she felt a pang of reluctance.
She went back to her room alone. Sitting at the table, she couldn't think of anything to do for a long time. In the past, she didn't do anything either, except to scold Da Cui and check on Yuan Bao to see what he was doing.
Now she didn't know where to look for her son. She sat there, lost in thought, for who knows how long, until she grew hungry and realized she hadn't eaten. She didn't know who to turn to.
That day, the young soldier had taken her to the home of some political commissar. Zhao Xiuying went there alone, trembling. Liu Wenda hadn't returned, and Chen Yufen was lying in bed, lost in thought.
Hearing the knock, Chen Yufen opened the door. Seeing it was Zhao Xiuying, she frowned immediately. She was about to say a few words to send her away when Wu Jingming's wife and another family member came downstairs and, while greeting her, glanced at her curiously.
Chen Yufen didn't know what they were curious about, and she panicked, completely forgetting that the two of them hadn't attended the meeting and knew nothing about it. Feeling guilty, she let Zhao Xiuying into the house.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiuying had no other requests; she just wanted to find Zhou Chengguang. Chen Yufen thought that if she said Liu Wenda wasn't there and Zhou Chengguang couldn't be found, Zhao Xiuying would leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiuying not only didn't leave, but instead sat down on the sofa.
"It's okay, I'll wait for your man to come back. Girl, is there anything to eat at home? I'm hungry."
I wonder if Liu Wenda will also be punished. Chen Yufen has no appetite today. Luckily, there are still cookies at home. Zhao Xiuying isn't picky, so she sat on the sofa and started eating them, leaving crumbs all over the sofa and floor.
"My daughter is a little dry, do you have any water?"
Seeing her swallowing hard, Chen Yufen turned her face away in disgust and went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.
Fortunately, Liu Wenda returned in the afternoon, followed by Zhou Chengguang.
Zhou Chengguang came with Liu Wenda to ask him to write a self-criticism. He was stunned when he saw Zhao Xiuying. "Mother, why didn't you go with Feng Lichun?"
These words stunned Zhao Xiuying. "What would it mean if I went with her? Didn't she say that day that I should follow you?"
Zhou Chengguang had always assumed that Feng Lichun would take her mother with her. He never expected her to be so heartless as to abandon her mother. If it weren't for the old Feng Lichun, she wouldn't have been able to do this; but with Xu Keke, who had no feelings for them, of course she would have been ruthless.
Zhou Chengguang waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, you can stay in the army for a few more days. I'll find some free time, or see who's available, and have someone take you home."
Zhao Xiuying immediately stood up from the sofa, scattering cookie crumbs all over the floor.
“You’re my son, why would I go back? I want to live with you.” She recalled what Xu Keke had told her, “If you don’t take care of me, I’ll go find your boss.”
Zhou Chengguang was furious; they were all threatening him. His explosive temper was about to flare when Liu Wenda reached out and held him down, giving him a meaningful look.
“Mom is right, she’s doing well with you. It’s just that you’re working too hard, having to take care of your mother after finishing your work.”
