Ye Fanxing actually hoped that Cheng Jun would really make a move against her, so that she would have a legitimate reason to do so.
"With Brother Dongfang protecting me, I'm not afraid."
Ye Fanxing deliberately leaned closer to Huo Dongfang, looking all lovey-dovey.
"That's true. Who would dare to hurt you in front of Huo Dongfang?"
It is a well-known fact that the Huo family protects their own.
If Huo Dongfang hadn't intervened, Ye Fanxing wouldn't have been able to leave the Cheng family so easily.
"Thank you for your concern." Ye Fanxing smiled sweetly. "We have other things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now!"
Ye Fanxing waved and left with Huo Dongfang.
As soon as Ye Fanxing walked away, the others began to whisper among themselves.
"Su Mingyue is really blind. If she can't have children, she can't have children. If the Su family can climb up to the Huo family, that would be a great honor for everyone."
"Exactly! Look at the current state of the Cheng and Su families—they've come to a terrible end!"
"So, never go against the Huo family. Ye Fanxing can't cause much trouble! But she's a member of the Huo family now, which makes a difference."
"So, for a woman, getting married is like being reborn!"
Ye Fanxing didn't care at all about the crickets chirping behind her neighbors' backs.
Huo Dongfang led her into the archives room and began looking through Ye Heping's files before his accident.
Since the files couldn't be taken out of the archives, Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang had no choice but to sit in the archives and look through all the files.
Four years have passed, and the paper from that year has turned a worn yellow.
The words written with a fountain pen are still clear.
Ye Fanxing carefully wrote down every word in the file.
Unfortunately, probably because the other party was meticulous in their work, there were no problems with this file.
"Uncle Huo, have you discovered anything?"
Ye Fanxing leaned closer to Huo Dongfang, her eyes filled with hopeful inquiry.
Huo Dongfang shook his head. "No."
Not only did Huo Dongfang find nothing, but Ye Fanxing also found nothing.
"Uncle Huo, may I see the list of personnel who went to war back then?"
"Let me look for it."
The dim light in the archives shone on Ye Fanxing.
Ye Fanxing's bright and beautiful face, hidden in the dim light, looked like a goddess in an oil painting.
Before we knew it, the sun had set.
Ye Fanxing's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.
Such sounds were particularly noticeable in the archives.
"Star, let's go get something to eat. What would you like to eat?"
Ye Fanxing remembered that there was a barbecue stall in Cheng Yun's photo, so she said without hesitation, "Barbecue."
It is now the mid-1980s, and the reform and opening up has begun, with policies encouraging people to engage in individual business.
Countless shops sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and in this era, the daring ones were among the first to get rich.
Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang walked out of the military compound and headed towards the bustling street.
Passing by the place where Ye Fanxing jumped into the river last time, Huo Dongfang subconsciously walked to the side of the road and blocked the bridge.
The streetlights shone on Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing, making their intimacy and happiness even more apparent.
Neon lights flickered along the street.
The roadside food stalls were bustling with people.
Singing music drifted out from the nightclub.
Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang walked to a barbecue stall set up at the crossroads.
The variety of barbecue options is limited these days, but Ye Fanxing still picked out some ingredients and handed them to the middle-aged woman grilling the food.
The charcoal fire burns brightly, and the food skewered on bamboo sticks is grilled over the charcoal fire, releasing its aroma.
She deftly grilled the skewers, filling the air with the aroma of spices.
The colorful neon lights shone on Ye Fanxing's face, but her gaze was fixed on the entrance of the nightclub where Cheng Jun worked.
The skewers are served.
Would you like some beer?
Ye Fanxing shook her head. "No need."
Ye Fanxing handed a skewer of grilled pork belly to Huo Dongfang, "Uncle Huo, please try it."
She also tried a piece of grilled pork belly herself; the pork belly was fatty but not delicate, and the aroma was irresistible.
"The taste is alright."
Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang sat in front of the barbecue stall, chatting casually.
Because the food was indeed delicious, Ye Fanxing ordered other things halfway through the meal.
Ye Fanxing glanced at her watch; it was already 10 p.m.
Even if Cheng Yun started work at seven o'clock, she should be a little drunk by now. Perhaps Ye Fanxing was thinking about Cheng Yun. The next second, Cheng Yun, wearing a miniskirt, holding a cigarette in one hand, and wearing high heels, was escorted out of the nightclub by a man.
"My little darling~"
The man's hand groped Cheng Yun's buttocks without restraint, and even gave her a light pinch.
Cheng Jun screamed and playfully shoved the man.
"Brother Zhu, you're so annoying!"
Brother Zhu chuckled and said, "I'll kill you in a bit."
Cheng Yun giggled.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang sitting in front of the barbecue stall, and hatred instantly filled Cheng Yun's mind.
Cheng Jun was truly unwilling to accept this. She used to live a comfortable and fulfilling life in a military compound.
But because of Ye Fanxing, that ungrateful wretch, her father was sentenced to death, she lost her job, and they were kicked out of the military compound.
She used to be someone of high status, but now she's become a hostess, fawning over others.
Why is Ye Fanxing, who caused the Cheng family to lose everything, able to live so freely?
"Brother Zhu, shall we go get some barbecue?"
Brother Zhu readily agreed, "Okay."
Cheng Yun, arm in arm with Zhu Ge, walked up to Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang.
