Chapter 244 Episode 8
But she actually said, "Wen Changyu, do you think you can find someone better than me?"
Wen Changyu shook his head. "You've always been outstanding!"
After saying that, Wen Changyu handed the money in his hand to the orderly behind him, "Xiao Chen, help this Comrade Xu find a place to stay, and also buy her a train ticket back to Haishi for tomorrow."
"Yes, Commander."
Wen Changyu turned and left, and Xu Shanshan stood there for a long time.
Until Xiao Chen urged her, "Comrade Xu..."
Xu Shanshan gazed in the direction Wen Changyu had left and murmured, "Was he setting up a date with the leader's daughter?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, "No, our regimental commander hasn't looked at any of them!"
"Many people introduced him to potential partners, but our regimental commander said he wanted to make contributions first."
"No matchmaking?" Xu Shanshan didn't believe it.
Xiao Chen said no more.
After he led the person to the guesthouse, Xu Shanshan spoke again, "You don't need to buy the train tickets yet. Just give me the money, and I'll buy them myself."
After a moment's thought, Xiao Chen gave her the remaining money.
Of course, he told Wen Changyu about it when he got back.
"Didn't buy a train ticket?"
"Yes, that comrade won't let me buy it!"
Wen Changyu waved for Xiao Chen to leave, then sat down at the table and began to ponder why Xu Shanshan wasn't leaving.
Xu Shanshan, meanwhile, was pondering why Wen Changyu suddenly didn't want to marry her, especially since they had been so close in their past life...
Could it be that this man is really asking for trouble, only liking those who look down on them?
Xu Shanshan felt a sense of unease when she thought of this possibility.
Then he casually cursed Wen Changyu, calling him a "cheap bastard!"
"Haste makes waste."
Having figured this out, Xu Shanshan decided not to go back for the time being, but to wander around the area first.
This is a guesthouse next to the military base. Most of the people staying here are family members, and the people coming and going are also military personnel. If she stays for a couple more days, it should be useful.
Xu Shanshan was indeed beautiful, and soon the news spread throughout the army that an extremely beautiful family member had arrived at the guesthouse, with black hair and dark eyes, as beautiful as a fairy.
Everyone was curious, "Whose family member is it?"
Many people also took advantage of their breaks to sneak into the family compound, wanting to see if it was really as beautiful as everyone said.
And then...it's really beautiful.
After all, Xu Shanshan is not only beautiful, but also knows how to dress, and has a proud, swan-like demeanor.
Finally, everyone found out who Xu Shanshan had come to see: "She said she was Commander Wen's blind date!"
"No wonder, she and Commander Wen are a perfect match."
"Exactly, would any woman even be interested in someone like us?"
Some people said, "Being good-looking is definitely an advantage. I remember Liu Fang from the cultural troupe also had a crush on Director Wen, didn't she?"
"Yes, we tried to stop Commander Wen several times, but he simply ignored us."
"Liu Fang is also beautiful. If it were me, I would definitely agree."
"You're obviously a good-for-nothing. Do you think Commander Wen is some kind of big shot?" someone nearby laughed and scolded.
Amidst the surrounding rumors, Wen Changyu had no choice but to go see Xu Shanshan.
When Xu Shanshan saw him, she still maintained her haughty demeanor. "I was just about to leave tomorrow. I finally made it to Beijing, bought some things, and was delayed for a while."
She glanced at Wen Changyu, raised her chin, and said, "Is there something you need?"
Looking at her still haughty demeanor, Wen Changyu thought that perhaps he was overthinking things, so he shook his head.
Xu Shanshan clenched her fists tightly behind her back.
snort!
Xu Shanshan snorted inwardly; she didn't believe Wen Changyu was alright.
If there was really nothing wrong, Wen Changyu wouldn't have come today, and he wouldn't have cared whether I left or not.
He came back because he couldn't let her go, right?
How come she never noticed before that Wen Changyu was such a scoundrel, actually enjoying being slapped, hit, and cursed at?
If you treat him well, he'll become arrogant.
Since that's the case...
Xu Shanshan turned around decisively and said, "It's okay, I'm going back. I still need to pack my things."
After Xu Shanshan finished speaking, she turned away haughtily.
Seeing that she had regained her haughty demeanor, Wen Changyu knew that she would not bother him anymore. He opened his mouth to ask, "Did you also get reborn?"
I thought about it and decided to keep quiet.
Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore.
In this life, he gave Xu Shanshan true freedom and would never bother her again.
Perhaps it's better that Xu Shanshan doesn't know he's been reborn.
Xu Shanshan is really gone.
The rumors gradually faded away.
Xu Shanshan was delayed in Beijing for several days before returning home. When she arrived, her mother immediately smashed an enamel mug at her feet, yelling, "Why did you come back here?"
"Got enough fun out there, now you know to come back?"
Xu Shanshan, after all, was nearly fifty years old. She wasn't afraid when she was scolded, only embarrassed. "Can you please not speak so rudely?"
Hearing this, Xu's mother laughed in anger, "Unpleasant to hear?"
"You know what 'unpleasant' means?"
"Do you know what the neighbors have been talking about our family these days?"
"They're saying you ran off with someone, saying you ran off with a man!"
"Still unpleasant to listen to?"
As she spoke, she became so angry that she grabbed Xu Shanshan's hair and started hitting her, yelling, "Have you no shame?"
"Have you no shame?"
"Ah!" Xu Shanshan cried out in pain as her hair was pulled.
"You shameless little beast, I'll beat you to death, beat you to death, so you won't embarrass me in the future."
Xu's mother simply couldn't tolerate such a rebellious daughter.
Not only are they unfilial, but they also dare to run away from home.
If we let it go like this the first time, what about the next time?
She's going to rebel!
Therefore, she must be taught a harsh lesson.
In the end, she even pulled out a clump of Xu Shanshan's hair.
The hair that had been pulled out was carelessly tossed on the ground by Xu's mother. Xu Shanshan bent down to pick it up, and looking at the hair scattered in her palm, Xu Shanshan's eyes reddened as she completely broke down, "Shameless?"
"To be honest, who's as shameless as you?" she said, laughing and crying at the same time.
Even Xu's mother was taken aback by her question.
Xu Shanshan wiped away her tears and continued, "Isn't that right?"
"Dad got arrested. You believed your brother and took all the money Dad left behind to try and find connections to save him. And what happened?"
"Has Father been rescued?"
"On the contrary, your brothers from your mother's side are doing better."
"Is this about saving your father, or is it about finding a way to subsidize your maternal family brothers? Hmm?"
"You..." Xu's mother raised her hand to slap her, but Xu Shanshan grabbed her wrist.
What's wrong with me?
"You dare to do it, but I dare not say it?"
“After you squandered all the money your father left you, you started crying and wailing day and night, refusing to find work or care about the family. My older sister and I had to work and then take care of you.”
"No one dares to say a word to you. If anything doesn't suit your taste, you'll cough incessantly or cry your heart out."
“I told you to see a doctor, but you wouldn’t, saying you didn’t want to suffer that pain.”
"But you've taken that medicine, which costs only three cents a dose, for just one day!"
"What's wrong? You're not suffering anymore?"
"If we're talking about shamelessness, I'm just like you," Xu Shanshan said, giving him one last glare.
"You...you..." Xu's mother's eyelids rolled back, and she fainted.
