At that time, Lu Yuanzhou and Lu Ya had not yet been kicked out by Lu Zhentian, and the whole family lived in the compound.
Li Jia vaguely remembered that when she got home from get off work, she pushed open the courtyard gate and saw yellow locust blossoms falling in the wind. Gu Nanzhi, with her black hair reaching her waist and a flowing white dress, wrapped her arms around the tall and handsome Lu Huai'an from behind.
Perhaps he discovered her, because the two separated quickly.
Because they were quite far apart, Li Jia couldn't hear clearly what the two were saying next.
Two seconds later, Gu Nanzhi covered her mouth and ran away. As she passed by Li Jia, Li Jia clearly saw the tears that Gu Nanzhi flung away.
The next day, Gu Nanzhi went abroad.
After hearing the story, Su Wantang's lips parted slightly, but she remained silent for a long time.
Seeing Su Wantang looking like she'd lost her soul, Li Jia felt terrible, but she had to say these things sooner rather than later.
Li Jia held her hand: "Wantang, I'm not telling you this to upset you. Gu Nanzhi is not a simple person. I don't know the specifics of what happened between the two of them back then, but I can assure you that even if there was something, Huai'an is not a man who drags things out, much less one who goes back to an old flame. Don't let this make you lose your composure, or you'll fall into Gu Nanzhi's trap!"
Su Wantang smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Jia shrugged in alarm: "Wantang, are you alright?"
How can you still laugh when something like this happens?
Reading this meaning from Li Jia's pupils, Su Wantang said calmly, "It's nothing."
"Sister Jia, it's getting late, you should go home and rest."
Li Jia wanted to say something, but felt that Su Wantang needed to process things on her own, so she said with concern, "Okay, I'll go first. If you need anything, remember to call me. I'll be there no matter how late it is."
She plans to sit on the sofa and wait by the phone tonight.
"good."
No sooner had Li Jia left than Gu Nanzhi appeared out of nowhere, seemingly out of nowhere.
She didn't deny it: "Sister-in-law, there's nothing between me and Huai'an, that's all in the past. You two are a married couple now, so please don't let me, an outsider, ruin your relationship."
Su Wantang frowned: "Are you a ghost?"
Gu Nanzhi: "?"
"Why won't it go away?"
"It's a ghost, and a vixen ghost at that, reeking of filth."
Gu Nanzhi's face darkened, and she clenched her fists.
Su Wantang was thrilled.
"You like Lu Huai'an? Fine, I'll give him to you. Go back and tell Lu Huai'an that I'll see him at Cuihua Tower tomorrow, and that I'm divorcing him."
Su Wantang didn't go back to the compound; she turned and left, her back view was extremely decisive and swift.
Gu Nanzhi was stunned.
Is it really that simple?
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel jealous.
She tried so hard but failed, yet she discarded it like a worn-out shoe!
Jealousy burned within her, and in the dim light, her beautiful face appeared terrifyingly distorted.
After a while, she turned and went into the courtyard.
Ten minutes later, just as she came out of her house and was about to knock on the Lu family's gate, the gate suddenly opened from the inside.
Wen Wanqing kicked Lu Yuanyang, and Lu Yuanyang quickly closed the courtyard gate first.
Gu Nanzhi almost lost all the emotions she had been building up. She blinked and squeezed out two cat tears: "Aunt Wen, Uncle Lu, something bad has happened. My sister-in-law misunderstood my relationship with Huai'an and abandoned the seriously injured Huai'an and ran away."
“Sister-in-law, are you home yet? I’ll come and explain to her that things aren’t what she thinks.”
Wen Wanqing took two deep breaths, suppressing her surging anger: "Nanzhi, come with me."
The two walked quite a distance away, and Lu Yuanyang did not follow.
Gu Nanzhi looked cautiously at Wen Wanqing: "Aunt Wen?"
Wen Wan asked in a gentle, calm voice, "If it's not what Wan Tang imagines, then what should it be like? Explain yourself."
Gu Nanzhi trembled, her whole being shattered by distrust: "Aunt Wen, you don't believe me? Huai'an and I are truly innocent."
Wen Wanqing felt a lump in her throat. What had she done to her? It was as if she was abusing her power.
“It’s not right for you to call Huai’an that way. Since you know Huai’an is getting married, you should avoid suspicion and call him ‘elder brother’.”
Gu Nanzhi nodded: "Aunt Wen, I'll listen to you. I'll call Huai'an 'brother' from now on."
Wen Wanqing's vision went black: "Big brother, not brother."
Gu Nanzhi changed the subject: "I know, Aunt Wen, let's not talk about that now. I can't find my sister-in-law, and Brother Huai'an heard the news and insisted on searching for her despite being wounded. Aunt Wen, you and Uncle Lu should go and check on her quickly. That bullet grazed her chest. If she doesn't recover properly..."
Wen Wanqing's heart trembled violently. Ignoring everything else, she turned around and pulled Lu Yuanyang out.
After walking a short distance, Wen Wanqing heard footsteps behind her and suddenly stopped.
"Nan Zhi, it's getting late. You should go back too. You have a wife, father, and mother in Huai'an. It's not your place to accompany an unrelated woman like you."
A feeling of shame suddenly surged in her chest, spreading to her limbs and bones. Chains of blood congealed, freezing Gu Nanzhi in place.
She squeezed out a "good" through gritted teeth.
"By the way, don't call me by the wrong name again, call me Big Brother. Otherwise, I'll seriously doubt your professionalism after all these years abroad."
"I understand, Aunt Wen."
Wen Wanqing and Lu Yuanyang quickly disappeared from sight.
-
"Nanzhi, why are you back again?" Father Gu looked up from the newspaper and put his legs down.
Gu Nanzhi brushed it off casually.
"Dad, you should go and get some rest. I'll make the call myself later."
"Hmm." Mr. Gu stood up, took a few steps, then turned back and asked, "Has the higher-ups said anything about what arrangements will be made for you?"
"not yet."
Mr. Gu nodded: "You're not getting any younger, it's time to think about settling down..."
Gu Nanzhi pursed her lips tightly: "Dad, I'll settle down in China first."
Mr. Gu didn't say anything more. He did need this to choose a suitable blind date for Gu Nanzhi.
Another ten minutes or so passed before Gu Nanzhi picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Comrade Yang, I'm so sorry, I didn't manage to catch up with your wife. I went back to the compound and asked around, but she hasn't come back. Please tell Brother Huaian quickly to see where she might have gone. It's so late at night, I hope nothing bad happens to her."
Upon hearing this, Yang Bing's heart clenched, and he felt a surge of dissatisfaction towards Su Wantang.
What kind of time is this to be concerned about such unfounded rumors? Is this more important than the captain's safety?
After hanging up the phone, Yang Bing quickly walked towards the ward.
Hearing footsteps, Lu Huai'an's brow twitched again, and he snapped unhappily, "Get out—"
Before the last word could even finish, it was drowned out by Yang Bing's loud "Captain!"
"Yang Bing?" he asked, looking at Yang Bing who had just walked up to him. "Are you sure you're not hurt?"
Yang Bing paused for a moment, then, being used to obeying orders, subconsciously explained, "I was in charge of taking care of Comrade Gu the whole way, and I suffered some minor injuries. The others are more seriously injured and are staying in the next ward. I'm in charge of taking care of you."
Nan Zhi wasn't lying about this.
However, such a distance is not a place where any action should be taken.
Lu Huai'an said in a deep voice, "From now on, Comrade Gu is not allowed to enter my ward, and don't notify his family beforehand."
Yang Bing stared blankly, his eyes wide with disbelief: "Captain, didn't your wife arrive a while ago?"
