Lu Beixiao took Ye Qiao back to the barracks to continue military training. The engagement banquet was arranged by the Lu family and was scheduled for October 2nd, which happened to be the National Day holiday for everyone.
Commander Lu really accompanied Ms. Du to entertain the three members of the Gu family. Gu Xueyan specially took leave from the art troupe and rushed back to the city.
"Godmother, isn't my brother Beixiao here? Is he still very busy?" Gu Xueyan was the last one to arrive. After sitting down, she eagerly asked about Lu Beixiao.
Du Ying was stunned for a moment and thought, he is very busy and is busy accompanying his girlfriend!
That bastard used to treat the gun as his wife, but not anymore!
Treat Ye Qiao as if he were his own life!
"Yes, your brother Bei Xiao has been promoted from second lieutenant to first lieutenant! Now he is even busier!" Ms. Du said with a smile.
"So I'm telling you, this is the downside to dating a soldier! He can only go home a few times a year! Swallow, godmother will help you pick a good man who will take care of the family in the future, okay?" Du Ying didn't feel comfortable explaining it directly, so she had to speak in a roundabout way.
As soon as she said this, the hearts of the Gu family and their spouses sank. Wasn't this clearly a sign that she was no longer going to be in-laws with them?!
"Godmother! I won't dislike being a soldier! As a military wife, you must have a heart that understands your husband and has great love! I'm not afraid of hardship, really! In my heart, Brother Bei Xiao is a hero who defends our country! I like him! I will understand him!" Gu Xueyan said hurriedly. She hadn't understood what Ms. Du meant yet.
“…”Ms. Du.
"Yan Yan!" The Gu couple were extremely embarrassed. If their daughter couldn't hear it, how could they not hear it?
Commander Lu, who was always quick and decisive, spoke up now: "Yanzi, here's what's going on. Your brother Bei Xiao actually has a girlfriend. Your godmother has been kept in the dark and only found out these past two days."
When Commander Lu said this, Gu Xueyan was completely stunned!
"Yanzi! I'm really sorry, it's godmother's fault! Godmother didn't communicate well with your brother Bei Xiao!" Ms. Du quickly left her seat and walked to Gu Xueyan to comfort her.
Gu Xueyan's heart was bleeding. This blow was like a bolt from the blue to her!
She had previously spread the news that she and Lu Beixiao were a couple to the children of high-ranking officials. Her friends all envied her, but in the end—
"Du Ying, don't have any malicious intentions. Our Yanyan will only congratulate Axiao, Yanyan, right? You and Axiao are not familiar with each other!" Gu Xueyan's mother, Tian Suzhi, hurried forward to resolve the awkwardness. She quietly patted her daughter's arm.
"Godmother! I, I just feel it's a bit sudden! It's okay, Brother Bei Xiao didn't have much impression of me anyway!" Gu Xueyan said hurriedly after coming back to her senses, looking understanding.
Last year on August 1st, she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to Lu Beixiao. At that time, he said he had a girlfriend. She thought he said that on purpose to get rid of her, but she didn't expect... it was true...!
Seeing Gu Xueyan being so considerate, Ms. Du felt even more distressed. "Swallow, you will always be your godmother's good daughter. Don't worry, godmother will find you a better one!"
Gu Xueyan could only nod. During the meal, she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
I hid in the bathroom and cried.
"What's the use of crying? Use some tricks to snatch it away..." Li Yun was looking in the mirror and applying lipstick, and said to Gu Xueyan who was washing her face with red eyes.
Gu Xueyan raised her head and looked at the woman in the mirror whom she didn't recognize.
"Lu Beixiao's girlfriend is called Ye Qiao, and she is the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family in the Army Compound! Mother Lu likes you so much, you have to take advantage of this, understand?" Li Yun reminded her.
