As soon as Yang Wanqiu stepped out of Chen Shuning's room, she had an expression on her face that said, "I knew this would happen." She pursed her lips and said, "I told you long ago that Chen Shuning is very different now than before."
Even if we beg and plead with her, she will never consider us friends again, so you'd better not waste your energy.
Shen Hongmei was equally unwilling to beg Chen Shuning for forgiveness in such a humble way.
In fact, ever since their accidental encounter in town, when Chen Shuning, that silly guy, inadvertently revealed her past, Shen Hongmei had made up her mind to keep her distance from him.
After all, she was really worried that Chen Shuning, that brainless person, might blurt out something he shouldn't have said again.
Just because of those few unintentional words from Chen Shuning, and after the female educated youths who went to the market with him spread the word, it all happened.
The men who used to fawn over her and ask after her every day now ignore her completely.
You should know that when she went to the countryside, apart from the eighty yuan she borrowed from Zhou Weiguo, her family didn't bring her a single penny. Even the warm cotton-padded clothes and thick quilts were only brought to her by her parents out of face after she made a big fuss.
So after she went to the countryside, she relied on the few men who were interested in her to help her with chores and buy her things, which is why she was able to live such a comfortable life in the countryside.
Now, everything has been ruined because of a few words from Chen Shuning, and he certainly wants to get his money back from Chen Shuning.
Moreover, her life has been much worse than before lately. Without the care of those few sycophants, she has to hypocritically appease those ugly and worthless people she used to look down on. She really can't stand living like this anymore.
She came this time because Yang Wanqiu told her that Chen Shuning was living a good life and had married a rich and powerful man, which is why she had her eye on him again.
She came here out of necessity, because she was really having a hard time.
So when faced with Yang Wanqiu's sarcasm, Shen Hongmei could only smile helplessly, but said firmly, "It's not like that, Wanqiu. Shu Ning may just love Brother Weiguo too deeply, which is why she is so resentful and unable to let go of the past grievances, and still holds a grudge against me."
But I firmly believe that Shuning is not a cold-hearted person. You know, our friendship over the years is truly genuine! As long as I sincerely apologize and repent, Shuning will forgive me one day.
Although Shen Hongmei was ostensibly speaking to Yang Wanqiu, Chen Shuning inside the room could clearly hear her deliberately raised voice.
Just then, Gu Xinyi, who was carrying a sweater and walking out of the house to find Chen Shuning to knit together, heard these words as soon as she stepped out of the door.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Xinyi instantly became furious.
Although she did not know Shen Hongmei, her words involved her friend, and she would never tolerate such remarks.
At that moment, Chen Shuning, who was inside the house, heard Gu Xinyi shout sternly:
"I said, comrade, where are you from? Do you have a letter of introduction? Who gave you permission to come to our educated youth settlement like this?"
Moreover, you have to take responsibility for your words! Shuning's husband is a soldier, and their marriage is a military marriage.
How dare you publicly declare that a soldier's wife has deep feelings for another man? I have every reason to suspect that you are a malicious element deliberately trying to sabotage military marriages, an enemy agent sent by the enemy to undermine the unity between our military and civilians!
As Gu Xinyi spent more time in the countryside, she didn't learn anything else, but she certainly learned how to make a big deal out of things and arbitrarily label others.
However, she did not wrong Shen Hongmei, because it was obvious that Shen Hongmei had ulterior motives for saying those words.
To be honest, Zhou Weiguo's appearance was truly outstanding. In Shen Hongmei's eyes, he was simply the most handsome man in the world. Otherwise, how could he have attracted the hearts of all the girls in the school?
Moreover, according to Yang Wanqiu, Chen Shuning's current partner is not only capable himself, having become a deputy regimental commander at a young age, but his family is also powerful and influential.
In Shen Hongmei's opinion, given Chen Shuning's qualifications and intelligence, it was already incredibly lucky that she could find such an outstanding man from such a prominent family. If the man also had a handsome appearance, it would be almost a pipe dream.
Therefore, Shen Hongmei subconsciously assumed that the man named He Chaoyang must be plain-looking, at least not as good-looking as Zhou Weiguo.
She and Chen Shuning grew up together. Shen Hongmei knew that Chen Shuning had always liked pretty things since she was a child, and that the boys she liked as she grew up were all good-looking.
The reason she kept mentioning Zhou Weiguo in front of Chen Shuning was simply to rekindle Chen Shuning's old feelings for Zhou Weiguo, and even hoped to disrupt her current happy married life so that she could take advantage of the situation.
Unexpectedly, he had just started when this female educated youth, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, slapped such a heavy label on him.
Shen Hongmei naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be beaten; after all, she was never the kind of person who would suffer in silence without fighting back.
Shen Hongmei rolled her eyes, revealing a huge disdain for them, and said in a provocative and impolite tone, "Hmph! Who do you think you are? This is the first time I've ever heard of an educated youth needing a letter of introduction to visit a classmate!"
Besides, how did I ruin a military marriage? It is absolutely true that Shu Ning used to like Zhou Weiguo. I didn't make up any lies or fabricate anything. How did it come out of your mouth that I became an irredeemable villain?
