Mu Wanwan looked coldly at the people in front of her. Her eyes were clear and made people feel inexplicably guilty.
Seeing this, Lin Huiru quickly said, "Wanwan, don't be angry, they are just talking casually, they don't mean any harm."
"Just talking about me? What qualifications do you have to talk about me behind my back? You keep calling me a country bumpkin. I thought you city folks were so noble, but you're still gossiping about others behind their backs!"
Mu Wanwan didn't give them any face at all. These people were just jealous. They thought she was marrying up by marrying Wen Lin. In fact, she really didn't care about him now!
"Mu Wanwan! Why are you so arrogant? You flatter Old Master Wen just because he dotes on you. How shameless!"
"That's right. You are originally from the countryside, and you don't allow us to say it? Brother Wen Lin doesn't like you at all. I wonder how long you can be so arrogant. You may be dumped by Brother Wen Lin any day!"
"Everyone knows that Brother Wen Lin is devoted to Sister Hui Ru! Brother Wen Lin abandoned you on the wedding night. It's only a matter of time before he divorces you!"
Mu Wanwan's attitude made people even more angry. Several city girls said even more excessive things. They really wanted to see Mu Wanwan make a fool of herself.
In their opinion, Mu Wanwan would be abandoned by Wen Lin sooner or later. How could a young and promising officer be tied to a country woman like this for the rest of his life?
What's more, Wen Lin was forced to marry Mu Wanwan in the first place. It would be strange if such a marriage could last long!
"Alright, alright, stop talking!"
Wen Xin couldn't bear to listen any more. After all, Mu Wanwan was her sister-in-law now. What these people said was really harsh. Besides, she had been eating the meals cooked by Mu Wanwan for the past few days, and she couldn't just sit and watch Mu Wanwan being talked about by these people.
Seeing that Wen Xin was still protecting Mu Wanwan, a cold light flashed in Lin Huiru's eyes.
Just when the others were about to continue speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Let them continue talking! I want to hear what other unpleasant things they have to say!"
Wen Lin suddenly appeared with a stern face. Everyone present fell silent and subconsciously held their breath. The atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Wen Lin walked up to Mu Wanwan and held her in his arms in an intimate posture. His narrow eyes swept over everyone present. A strong sense of oppression immediately emanated from his body, causing everyone to shrink their necks.
Wen Xin didn't even dare to look at Wen Lin and lowered her head. What she feared most since she was a child was her brother getting angry.
Lin Huiru's eyes fell on Wen Lin's arm around Mu Wanwan's waist, and her teeth were about to break.
"Mu Wanwan is my wife, how come I didn't know that I was going to divorce her? The wedding night was just an accident, I have always treated Huiru as my sister.
The relationship between Mu Wanwan and I is our own business and has nothing to do with outsiders like you. If I hear you say this again next time, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Wen Lin's tone was full of warnings, and after he finished speaking, he hugged Mu Wanwan and left.
Seeing their backs gradually going away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but many people felt upset.
Especially those people who just said that Mu Wanwan was the happiest. Even a blind person could see how much Wen Lin defended Mu Wanwan just now. The words they just said turned into slaps in their faces.
But this made them even more jealous. Why was Mu Wanwan so lucky?
Even Lin Huiru couldn't keep up her outward smile any longer. She clasped her hands tightly together. In just a short period of time, Wen Lin and Wen Xin's attitude towards Mu Wanwan seemed to have changed. If this continued, did she really have a chance?
Mu Wanwan has become much smarter than before. Her previous methods are no longer effective. It seems that it is time to make some careful plans.
——
Mu Wanwan was dragged by Wen Lin to the yard.
Wen Lin's face was still cold and he still looked angry. He had never thought that these people in the compound would talk about Mu Wanwan like this behind her back.
Wen Lin suddenly felt a little guilty. He had never thought about these things before. On the wedding night, because Lin Huiru was in an emergency, he simply abandoned her. It was conceivable what Mu Wanwan had to face, and it seemed that he had done this more than once.
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Mu Wanwan immediately reached out and pulled her arm out.
"Thank you for what I did just now. I'll go in and make tea for Grandpa if I'm fine."
She was somewhat surprised by Wen Lin's protection, but she was not very touched. After all, everything she had experienced was caused by Wen Lin.
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider the problem from your perspective before, and I made you feel wronged."
This sudden apology shocked Mu Wanwan even more, but she found it somewhat funny.
She didn't know if it was because she lived again that things changed. In her previous life, she never heard a word of apology or forgiveness from Wen Lin.
If it were her in her previous life, she would definitely want to hear these words, but unfortunately she no longer needs them now.
Mu Wanwan said nothing and turned into the house.
Wen Lin stood there and stared at Mu Wanwan's back. He always felt that Mu Wanwan seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
——
The day they moved out of the old house was also the day when Wen Lin’s vacation officially ended.
Originally he should have returned to the army long ago, but the political commissar took into consideration that he had just gotten married and was injured and had nothing to do recently, so he let him stay for a while longer.
Wen Lin reported to Wan Guoqiang's office, and Wan Guoqiang's face was full of smiles.
"Wen Lin, I have good news for you. Have you heard that we are going to set up a special forces brigade?"
Wen Lin nodded. He had indeed heard the news.
"Although this is a brigade, it actually gathers all the elites together. Many people are scrambling to join. The higher-ups want you to be the captain of this brigade. What do you think?"
"I will follow all the arrangements!" Wen Lin saluted and replied.
"You, you! You got the upper hand this time. The size of this brigade will definitely be expanded in the future, and the top students will all be your subordinates!"
Wan Guoqiang was really happy for Wen Lin. He felt that only Wen Lin could take on such an important task. Although his position did not rise, as the captain, his future would definitely be limitless!
"Oh, by the way, there is something I have to make clear to you in advance. When this brigade is established, you will basically have to undergo closed training, so your family members will have to accompany the troops. You must prepare well when you return."
"Follow the army?" Wen Lin didn't expect this to happen.
