That's what Xu Ningyan was thinking, and she just blurted it out.
You see, she remembered that she hadn't heard of this when she last left the capital.
From the time she returned to Jingshan County until today, it has only been a little over a month, yet Gu Yong and Fang Dani have already gone through the entire process from marriage to divorce.
How trendy! A whirlwind marriage and divorce!
Jiang Zhiyuan said calmly, "You had only been away from the capital for a few days when Gu Dajun, Gu Da Kui, and the Gu family patriarch and matriarch lobbied you, and Fang Dani took the initiative to show concern. Gu Yong couldn't resist and got a marriage certificate with Fang Dani."
"However, they kept a low profile and didn't hold a banquet!"
Xu Ningyan glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan, "You know the art of speaking."
Given Gu Yong and Fang Dani's reputation in the military compound, even if they wanted to hold a banquet, they'd have to have the nerve to do so, right? Besides, even if they did, I doubt many people would attend!
Thinking about it, it's normal. The scandal between Gu Yong and Jiang Yuan wasn't exactly a city-wide scandal, but people knew what they should and shouldn't know.
Even if Gu Yong wanted to find another woman to marry, he wouldn't be able to find one as good as Jiang Yuan.
Moreover, he has two sons, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui, and his sons and grandsons are already so grown up. If he were to find someone else, I'm afraid there would never be peace in the family.
All things considered, it's better to just go with Fang Dani. They were originally a married couple and had children; they were a real family.
Gu Yong probably thought that's what he was thinking, so he got his marriage certificate with Fang Dani.
But, just as the results of Gu Yong's case came out—he was dismissed from his post but hadn't been transferred to a lower-level position yet—Fang Dani flew away first?
I suddenly really want to see Gu Yong's expression; it must be quite something, right?
Xu Ningyan's expression was so easy to understand that Jiang Zhiyuan saw it all at a glance.
He gently rubbed Xu Ningyan's face. "Their divorce statement, along with Gu Daikui's, and the statements from the Gu family patriarch and matriarch severing ties with Gu Yong, have all been published in the newspaper. The military region leaders were coming to our house today, but I didn't notice them this morning. They only mentioned it when I saw them off just now. I'll go to my workplace tomorrow morning to find the newspaper and bring it back for you to see. From now on, Gu Yong will truly be all alone!"
Xu Ningyan clicked her tongue, then tried to put herself in his shoes.
If she were Gu Yong, her two sons, whom she loved with all her heart, would first betray her and shift the blame onto her. Then, his ex-wife would rush to divorce him, fearing that if she delayed even a day, she would be implicated. Next, his own parents and sons would sever ties with him. Oh dear, after living a whole life, he would end up all alone. I wonder what he would feel at this moment!
The thought of Gu Yong's current predicament made Xu Ningyan want to laugh.
Seeing Xu Ningyan like this, what could Jiang Zhiyuan do? She was his own little girl, so naturally he could only spoil her!
"If you want to see some excitement, I'll take you tomorrow!"
"Really?" Xu Ningyan immediately perked up.
But after thinking for a moment, he added, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? He's being sent to a lower-level position, and you're going now—"
Jiang Zhiyuan said casually, "This is the perfect time for me to go! Doesn't it show that I care about family ties, that I'm cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and that I'm a good son who cherishes the past and is filial?"
This statement was full of sarcasm.
Just as Xu Ningyan was about to comfort him, Jiang Zhiyuan chuckled again: "But this is good too! Before, he always stepped on me and Zhixing to promote his two good sons. Now I can step on his two good sons to boost my own reputation! It's like an eye for an eye!"
Fearing that Xu Ningyan might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "He's still in the hospital. The order to dismiss him came down today, so he can't stay there anymore! The Gu family's house is also going to be taken back. If he's to be transferred to a lower-level position, he'll probably have to go back and pack his bags. He'll have to leave by the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"We're going to the Gu family tomorrow, and we can catch a good show! We'll also see him off! Zhixing and I will prepare some things for him, don't misunderstand—"
Xu Ningyan liked Jiang Zhiyuan's talkative nature; he always made things clear beforehand.
“I understand! We have to do the appearance work! It’s a good opportunity to compare with the Gu brothers, tsk tsk, I wonder if Commander Gu will regret it to the core—” Xu Ningyan didn’t care at all.
He even asked with great interest, "What are you planning to prepare? Where has he been sent down to?"
Jiang Zhiyuan paused for a moment: "Send him down to a farm in Gansu Province in the Northwest."
Xu Ningyan blinked, suddenly feeling a little sorry for Gu Yong.
The Northwest Farm was no pleasant place; it was filled with endless yellow sand and extremely harsh conditions.
I wonder if this former military leader can pull through?
Moreover, this place is within the jurisdiction of the Northwest Military Region. Uh, is it intentional that they set up such a place for relocation?
Whether it was intentional or not is unknown, but Gu Yong is definitely furious.
He was actually mentally prepared before the final decision was made.
Being dismissed and demoted were both within his expectations.
Although he was unwilling, resentful, and still angry at being betrayed by his two sons and ending up in this situation, in the end, he had no choice but to accept reality.
Knowing his outcome, Gu Yong calmed down.
She started to worry about the other family members.
As he had thought, his parents were too old to be sent down to the countryside with him. Fortunately, Gu Da Kui was alright and kept his job. The family still had some money, not much, but if they were frugal, it would be enough to support the two elderly people.
The eldest son is beyond saving, and we don't know what his wife is thinking. If it's for everyone's good, the eldest son's wife should divorce him and leave the Gu family with the children. That would be better for both the children and her.
He gave some of the remaining money in the family to his eldest son so that he could at least raise his grandsons.
There's no need to worry about the second son's family; just remind him to take good care of his parents and help support the eldest son's children. Given the relationship between the eldest and second sons, this shouldn't be a problem.
As for Fang Dani, Gu Yong was thinking of having her accompany him to the countryside.
Firstly, it would allow him to take care of himself; secondly, Gu Yong knew in his heart that his two sons were much closer to their biological mother, Fang Dani, than to him. If he were to grant them a favor and demote them, given Gu Daikui's personality, he might just forget about him altogether.
Doesn't he know what kind of environment the Northwest Farm is in? Once he gets there, the only thing he can rely on is his son, Gu Daikui.
If Fang Dani were to be sent down to the countryside with him, could Gu Daikui bear to abandon him, but could he bear to abandon his own mother?
Furthermore, what did Fang Dani say when she wanted to register their marriage? She said that over the years, the only man she had ever chosen was him, regardless of whether Gu Yong was a military leader or a beggar.
The two were a married couple, destined to be together in life and buried together in death!
I imagine Fang Dani will stay by my side if I am demoted to a lower-level position.
In the end, it's Fang Dani who will be with me until I grow old!
