Fu Hanzhou saw their reactions, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, he glanced at them coldly, pulled Qin Ying to his side, and said in a cold voice:
"You two seem to have a great rapport with each other. When did your relationship become so close?"
Gu Ping'an's expression froze, and he forced a smile:
"I'm just...free, so I came out for a walk with Meihua. We've...always been doing fine!"
Fu Hanzhou looked at Gu Ping'an quietly with cold eyes, his voice filled with obvious sadness and disappointment:
"Ping'an, maybe today I finally get to know you, or rather, the real you! You've really opened my eyes. I always thought that the friendship we grew up with would allow me to understand you well enough, but just now, I saw everything you and Qin Meihua did to that female comrade.
I've always thought you weren't a bad person, and even when you were occasionally willful, I tolerated it, always thinking it was a minor matter. But today I realized that my tolerance had actually turned into indulgence. You bullied innocent people just for a piece of clothing, and you're still lying here with your eyes open, desperately trying to justify it. I really can't believe this is the you I've known for so many years!"
Gu Ping'an's face turned red and white. Fu Hanzhou's words were like a knife that opened a huge hole in her heart. Something was rapidly leaking out. She looked at him in panic and tried to defend herself:
"Hanzhou, you misunderstood, it really was a misunderstanding! We were just communicating, we didn't mean to bully her. The clothes she was holding were not suitable, we wanted to help her, but who knew she would misunderstand. You must believe me, after so many years of relationship, don't you understand me?"
Fu Hanzhou took a deep breath and looked at Gu Ping'an. The last trace of expectation in his eyes disappeared, leaving only disappointment and fatigue.
He didn't say anything else, took Qin Ying's hand, turned around and left resolutely.
The two chance encounters with Gu Ping'an were enough to completely refresh Fu Hanzhou's understanding of her.
Hypocritical in emotions and domineering in life.
He didn't say a word the whole way. Although Gu Ping'an was a white lotus, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. No matter how bad she was, she was an irreplaceable memory of his youth.
Qin Ying couldn't help but speak out, breaking the silence, her voice filled with loneliness:
"Are you disappointed to see Gu Ping'an become like this? You grew up together, and the friendship you've had for so many years has suddenly changed. It must be hard for you."
Fu Hanzhou seemed to be still immersed in his thoughts. He sighed silently and spoke in a low voice:
"It's a bit emotional to see someone I once knew so well suddenly become unfamiliar."
His sigh made Qin Ying feel a little uncomfortable, and she spoke with a hint of emotion:
"I understand, she will always be different in your eyes!"
Fu Hanzhou paused and looked at her with a complicated expression:
"No, don't think too much."
Qin Ying stopped and looked up at him, carefully examining the expression on his face. The emotion in her tone became more obvious:
"If not, then what are you keeping silent about?"
Fu Hanzhou reached out to pull her hand, but Qin Ying dodged it. He looked a little surprised.
"I'm just thinking about how to face her in the future."
“Is this difficult?”
Qin Ying took a step back, frowned, pursed her lips, and looked at him seriously:
"I know that your family has always chosen Gu Ping'an as their daughter-in-law. You married me only to be bound by an engagement, without any emotional basis. If it weren't for me, you and her would have been together a long time ago, right? Whether you admit it or not, you treat her differently than you treat others."
Fu Hanzhou stepped forward and grabbed her hand without hesitation, looking anxious:
"Don't overthink it. It's not true. What happened between her and me is no longer what you think it is. It has nothing to do with my family."
"Really? Are you afraid to face your own heart?"
Qin Ying's smile was filled with sarcasm:
"Your silence only makes me feel that you are regretting the past that you can't go back to and my redundancy."
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Fu Hanzhou wanted to hug her eagerly. He raised his arm slightly, paused for a moment, and then put it down again. They were outside, and he was a soldier, so it would not have a good influence.
He looked at her with deep eyes and a serious expression:
"Qin Ying, you...you really wronged me. Why did you suddenly say this? I don't have any feelings for her at all."
"Go home!"
Qin Ying broke free from his hand and walked forward on her own.
Fu Hanzhou looked at her back, wondering why she suddenly became angry?
In the evening, Qin Ying washed up and went to bed early without talking to him much.
Half asleep and half awake, she felt as if Fu Hanzhou was holding her in his arms. She unconsciously resisted for a moment and then fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, Fu Hanzhou was gone.
The celebration banquet will be held the day after tomorrow, and he has to arrange many details. Although it is just a simple meal, the people coming are not simple, after all, they are all from the army.
She went to the publishing house to submit the manuscript, and reminded Xie Fangyuan to remember to attend the celebration banquet. She also invited Lin Zhiqiang and Chen Xuanhan, hoping that they would come when they were free.
Unexpectedly, they were very happy after hearing this, and promised solemnly that they would go tomorrow.
Although Qin Meihua and Gu Ping'an were seen acting arrogantly in the department store yesterday, Qin Meihua acted as if nothing had happened after she came back. She showed no shame at all and even seemed to be a little disdainful.
During lunch, Fu Qixun was also there, and he specifically asked Fu Hanzhou about the arrangements for the celebration banquet, especially who he wanted to invite.
Fu Hanzhou briefly explained, and Fu Qixun nodded as he listened, then added:
