Old Xu wasn't home; he apparently went out early this morning.
After Ye Wanying left, the old lady looked at her husband and said, "What's wrong with all of you? I just don't understand."
Old Man Xu sipped his finely brewed flower tea and said, "Why worry so much? They're all adults; they have their own plans!"
In fact, Old Man Xu had some doubts, after all, his sons were always out early and back late. Of course, he also heard rumors that the transfer order had been suppressed.
The children are all grown up now, and it's hard to take care of them.
.........
Old Xu had actually returned long ago, holding the investigation information given to him by his comrades. He slumped down in the roadside bushes, surrounded by an atmosphere of desolation and despair.
Ye Wanying originally planned to come out and try her luck to see if she could find Zhang Qian, but she didn't expect to find Lao Xu's figure in the roadside bushes.
Naturally, they also noticed that something was wrong with Lao Xu at this moment, as well as several A4-sized papers scattered to the side, covered with dense writing on them.
A gust of wind blew one of the papers to his feet.
Ye Wanying bent down and picked up the item, but she was stunned when she saw what was written on the paper.
At this moment, Old Xu laughed self-deprecatingly, his voice hoarse as he said, "Sister-in-law, wasn't I stupid? Why did I so easily believe what I saw?"
The information on the paper in Ye Wanying's hand was one of the most important pages, clearly recording a scene from four years ago.
Back then, no one knew the reason why Lao Xu and Zhang Qian broke up.
Four years ago, Lao Xu witnessed Zhang Qian getting involved with a businessman. Later, he even saw the two of them in bed together, and Zhang Qian was almost completely stripped naked.
Old Xu immediately beat the man so badly that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, then carried the woman on the bed away.
However, when they arrived at the neighbor's house, Zhang Qian vehemently denied the matter, which led to a heated argument between the two, after which they broke up completely.
Two years later, when Lao Xu was escorting his comrade back for surgery, the two saw each other in the crowd.
At that time, Zhang Qian was already holding the hand of a child who was about one or two years old.
Old Xu, however, assumed that Zhang Qian had already married, so they had no further contact afterward.
So, it really is the cruel twist of fate...
Old Xu was completely disheartened. After the incident involving Wu Guiying and her mother, he thought that his comrade-in-arms had saved his life and he didn't want to make things too embarrassing. It was just another mouth to feed in his family, so he accepted Wu Guiying without a second thought.
Since then, Lao Xu has never gone home to spend the night, only occasionally going back to see the child left behind by his comrade.
Little did he know that his breakup with the woman he loved was due to Wu Jiarao's intervention.
The methods were extremely despicable. The man from the first incident was also hired by the Wu family, and he even drugged Zhang Qian, which is why Zhang Qian knew nothing about the second incident.
In fact, anyone would have felt the same way as Lao Xu back then.
No man in the world is so magnanimous as to see the woman he loves lying in another man's bed and remain calm as if nothing has happened.
The only regret is that the two didn't communicate promptly after their argument, nor did they have time to explain things clearly, which led to the misunderstanding that has persisted until now. It seems like everything is too late to talk about it now...
