Chapter 71 Wen Ting 1
The operation was a great success. The two who had escaped were cornered by Ji Yunzhou's team and, with Xiao Hua's help, were captured alive.
At this point, Yun Wangshu had achieved all her goals in coming to the Northeast, and her revenge was nearing its end. Once she returned to Shanghai and dealt with the thugs who had killed her, she could live in this world as she pleased.
That day, Yun Wangshu was kneading steamed buns with Chen Baoping. She preferred this activity to making dumplings because the soft dough was fun to knead.
Zhou Shouzhi suddenly returned, followed by a person with a gentle demeanor who was clearly not a soldier.
Yun Wangshu glanced at him once and then looked away; she wasn't curious at all why Wen Ting was here.
When Wen Ting saw her, his originally indifferent eyes instantly brightened, with an unconcealable burning heat, making Zhou Shouzhi, who was already unhappy, even darker.
That shameless old bastard!
He glared at Wen Ting secretly, then said to Chen Baoping, "This is Comrade Wen Ting, the secretary of the Chengxian County Party Committee, and also a friend of Feifan. He heard that Shushu was here, so he came to visit her."
"Shushu, this is your Uncle Wen!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "uncle" to firmly establish the seniority.
Yun Wangshu greeted him very cooperatively: "Uncle Wen".
Wen Ting adapted well to this title; in his heart, he was Yun Wangshu's uncle.
He was a little excited, his eyes were red, and he mumbled a couple of times before he could speak: "You must be Shushu. I'm Wen Ting, your father's friend."
Yun Wangshu sighed inwardly. The other party was so emotional that she couldn't match it, so she could only smile slightly and say, "It's a pleasure to meet Uncle Wen."
Wen Ting was heartbroken. Before Yun Feifan left, he had asked him to do several things, all of which were related to this girl. He had worked so hard to prepare to bring her to the army, thinking of everything for her, but in the end, he himself was unable to return.
The bitterness in her heart was impossible to suppress, and her voice choked with emotion: "Uncle Wen was also very happy to see you. Why didn't you look for Uncle Wen when you came to the county? Your father bought you a house in the county. Here, you have a home."
The phrase "You have a home" brought tears to the eyes of both Zhou Shouzhi and Chen Baoping. How could an empty house without anyone be a home?
Yun Wangshu remained silent, unsure of what to say. She couldn't recall the feelings of sadness and pain; at this moment, she felt utterly out of place.
Wen Ting was the first to notice her unusual behavior, assuming she was also upset, so he quickly changed the subject: "I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare anything. Sister-in-law, I'll have to bother you again for lunch. I'll take Shushu to the county this afternoon."
Chen Baoping smiled and said, "Don't bother me, it's just a meal. It's good to go to the county. We haven't been able to take Shushu out properly since she arrived."
Zhou Shouzhi also lost his initial wariness and hostility. He realized that Wen Ting didn't have any romantic feelings for Shushu, which was good. Regardless of whether he was her fiancé or not, as long as she didn't have that intention, it wouldn't work out.
The three people at the table were all trying to lighten the mood, making small talk, and the meal went fairly smoothly. After the meal, Zhou Shouzhi pulled Wen Ting out for a smoke, while Chen Baoping took the opportunity to pull Yun Wangshu into the room.
"Shushu, Wen Ting is indeed your father's good friend, but he is a man after all. Be careful to avoid suspicion, pay more attention, and come home early tonight."
Yun Wangshu understood what she meant. After all, Zhou Shouzhi had even guessed that Wen Ting was her fiancé. What could she do but nod and promise, "I understand, Auntie."
