That's not even the most dramatic part.
The most dramatic thing is that Qu Ying divorced and went back to her parents' home, but Qu Yu, her niece, actually stayed behind and is still living at Commander Wu's house.
She explained to the public that her younger cousin was close to her and was still young, so he couldn't be separated from adults.
Commander Wu was busy with military affairs and didn't have the time or energy to take care of her, so he paid her to help take care of her for a period of time.
They say that, but who knows what they're really like behind the scenes?
It's not certain whether a healthy middle-aged man and a young woman in her early twenties will spark a romance.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who has a psychic ability, knows more than others.
Qu Ying and Qu Yu have very different personalities.
Qu Ying was arrogant and didn't respect anyone. Although she was slightly nicer to Commander Wu, it didn't change her inner pride.
Having grown accustomed to her arrogance, Commander Wu's heart couldn't help but flutter when he first encountered Qu Yu, who was not only gentle and kind but also considerate and caring about his well-being.
With one person in love and the other willing, it's only a matter of time before they finally break through that barrier.
When Qu Ying was still alive, Qu Yu often walked around the family compound. Now that Qu Ying and Commander Wu are divorced, she doesn't like to go out anymore.
It also implies avoiding suspicion.
That day, Lin Xiaoxiao got off work early and on her way back to the army on her bicycle, she unexpectedly ran into Qu Yu.
She stood alone by the roadside, as if waiting for something.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao riding over, he quickly took two steps into the middle of the road and stopped her.
"Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?" Qu Yu's voice was anxious.
His gaze swept across Lin Xiaoxiao's face with a dark look, a hint of jealousy flashing deep in his eyes.
If you hadn't witnessed Lin Xiaoxiao's transformation firsthand, who would have imagined that the originally plain-looking dark-skinned girl would become so beautiful after getting fairer and plumper?
Lin Xiaoxiao's features are not the striking and bold type, but rather the petite and cute type.
Her features are delicate and petite, with big eyes, a small mouth, and very smooth skin.
A typical cute girl.
Yet this cute girl can punch someone so hard they're stuck to a wall and can't be knocked off.
"What kind of help?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't answer immediately.
Qu Yu pointed to the river, which was some distance from the road, and said, "I went to wash my hands by the river, and my bag accidentally fell in. My ID card is inside. Could you please help me retrieve it?"
Lin Xiaoxiao stared at her for a few seconds, then chuckled a few times, "Sure, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Lead the way."
Qu Yu was flattered and surprised that asking her for help went so smoothly.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and led Lin Xiaoxiao toward the river.
Lin Xiaoxiao followed behind her at a leisurely pace, and when they reached the riverbank, her ears twitched.
"Sister-in-law, it's that bag." Qu Yu pointed to a cloth bag floating in the middle of the river and said to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and asked, "How can we possibly retrieve it?"
Qu Yu, who was asked the question, was stunned for a moment, and then said uncertainly, "This... seems to be the only way is to go down to the river."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her, "I'm not going down."
Qu Yu was completely baffled.
Didn't you promise to come and help me?
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's fine if I fall, I can just get a new ID."
Qu Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
She really wanted to ask Lin Xiaoxiao, "How can you not play by the rules?"
"I'm already here, why didn't you call them out?"
The sound rang in my ears.
Qu Yu came to her senses and looked up, startled.
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Xiaoxiao had already moved closer, blinking at her with a deep meaning in her eyes that she couldn't understand.
"Wh...who are you?" Qu Yu couldn't help but take two steps back.
Her voice trembled slightly, without her even realizing it.
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, "Stop pretending, there are probably quite a few people hiding in the reeds."
Qu Yu's heart tightened. "Hidden someone? Impossible."
They're still pretending.
They don't even know how to control their expressions when they're putting on an act.
He looked guilty.
Lin Xiaoxiao said quietly, "Don't you know? Not long ago, a corpse was pulled out of this river, and it was absolutely terrifying!"
"ah!"
A cold wind blew by, and Qu Yu screamed.
Trembling, he tried to get closer to Lin Xiaoxiao to ease his fear, but Lin Xiaoxiao simply moved two steps to the side, giving him a look that said, "Don't come any closer."
She could only hug her arms with both hands and glance at the reeds a few times.
"What are you looking at? Why aren't they coming out yet? I'm getting impatient." Lin Xiaoxiao had unknowingly walked up behind her again, her voice clear as if she were speaking right next to her ear.
Qu Yu fell to the ground with a thud, her legs too weak to get up.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please, don't scare me..."
He's incredibly cunning, but a bit timid.
Lin Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts.
"You want me to go down into the river to retrieve your bag? What kind of trap are you planning to set for me?" Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the cloth bag still floating in the river, somewhat curious.
Qu Yu had no idea what kind of trap there was.
She just made up an excuse to lure people over.
She hadn't expected that the person wouldn't come out.
Seeing that her eyes were constantly looking at the reeds, Lin Xiaoxiao lost her curiosity and said directly, "Go and call them out. I'm sure there are some people I know there."
Qu Yu did not move.
To be honest, she regretted it.
