Bai Fumei in the 70’s

Zhao Lanxiang's face turned a little hot.

Although Gu Shuoming teased the girl in front of him, he had a serious expression. His scarred face was still handsome and would not make people felt offended.

Zhao Lanxiang said, "Don't talk about me anymore."

"I'll talk, why won't I talk about it." Gu Shuoming said while sitting on the sofa, rubbing his eyes and hissing, "I'm not the one who robbed his girl, but he dug his own grave by using such a cruel hand."

As he said that, he poured water into his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and spitted out bloody water in the trash can.

When Gu Shuoming promised Zhao Lanxiang to cover her, he thought that he could feel a bit satisfied with the little girl's promise, and in the meantime, he could also play a bit with her suitors. He didn't expect one or two to be serious.

Jiang Jianjun's fist was really hard.

"You can rest assured that he will not have the opportunity to come back within a year."1

Zhao Lanxiang looked at Gu Shuoming's red eyes and turned her head a little unnaturally. In Gu Shuoming's eyes, she has probably become a representative of trouble.

Zhao Lanxiang never dreamed that Jiang Jianjun, who had always been calm, could be so stingy. Today, his future was smashed by Gu Shuoming, and he might come back for double revenge. With his strength and knowledge about the future, catching up with Gu Shuoming would just be around the corner.

"You should take advantage of this year and try to improve yourself."

She looked at Gu Shuoming and said sincerely,

"What you did today, you not only offended one person, but a circle of people..."

Gu Shuoming licked the blood on the corner of his lips and responded vaguely.

Zhao Lanxiang put a letter that she had prepared in her arms on the table and gently pushed it with her thumb to Gu Shuoming.

"Goodbye."

The door was closed with a click, and he could hear the woman's footsteps down the stairs clearly. Gu Shuoming didn't rub the egg on his face anymore, but peeled the remaining eggs and thrown it into his mouth. Then he opened the envelope casually.

After reading ten lines quickly, he threw it into the simmering stove in the room, and the paper gradually turned to ashes.

'This woman is really amazing.'11

Gu Shuoming thought quietly.

In the Jiang family:

Jiang Li learned that her eldest brother had beaten someone and was punished with one-day imprisonment and a transfer to the border. She doesn't feel too well.

Fang Jing had also come for the New Year today, and she asked gently, "What makes you unhappy?"

Jiang Li told her about it. Fang Jing was surprised and said, "This is impossible."

"Comrade Zhao is like this, and Big Brother Jiang still looks at her..." Her calm tone, although it was not emotional, it still has a little condescending feeling, as if she was talking about a small-town girl.

Jiang Li also felt a sense of shame and humiliation, but at the same time, she felt very complicated. Within a day, her image of her brother had shattered because of his behavior.

However, because Jiang Li was fascinated by Zhao Lanxiang's craftsmanship in the countryside, she thought her brother's head was flooded with water.

She was a little unhappy when she heard Fang Jing's words.

The reason for her displeasure was obvious. Although she did not like Zhao Lanxiang before, she also did not like Fang Jing.3

How bitter was that sentence just now? Did she think she was a fool?

Fang Jing continued, "Okay, don't say anything about him. I was selected to be a worker, peasant, and soldier university student, and I will leave in the next few days. Will you send me?"

Jiang Li shook her face, "No time. Get someone local to send you away."

She didn't make the quota, and Fang Jing mentioned this to her face, which was really annoying.

Fang Jing continued, "I will recommend you to my professor. There will be many ways in the future. Do you want to go?"

Jiang Li's anger was halved when she realized that Fang Jing was not trying to show off, but to give her ideas.

But if she thought that this would please Jiang Li, she thought too much.

After a while, she said stiffly, "No."

On the other side:

Zhao Lanxiang walked out of the Gu family's house and saw a man standing silently downstairs.

His eyes were faintly red. He was staring at her, who was silently walking down the stairs, bypassing him and walking towards the door.

Jiang Jianjun asked her, "Don't you always want to be my wife? You nod your head now, and I will report the office immediately to get married."

Zhao Lanxiang didn't say anything to him, but only raised her head and shouted "Big Brother Gu" loudly upstairs.1

Jiang Jianjun's eyes suddenly flushed. He grabbed the woman's slender wrist and shoved her to a secluded corner.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't even want to say a word to me now. Did you really change so fast?"

When Zhao Lanxiang heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

She struggled a little and held her breath.

According to her plan, she led Jiang Jianjun to believe that she only felt empathy for him, and now, she fell in love with a man who was as good as him and even stronger than him. It was natural for her to alienate him gradually. It's just... she changed too fast. After all, half a year ago, she was still pursued him without considering her reputation.

Zhao Lanxiang lowered her head and stared at her shoes. She opened her mouth slowly as if she was analyzing her heart.

"You probably enjoyed being chased by others, so you don't know how much courage I have to muster to do those things for you."

"This kind of one-sided effort will be tiring after a long time. In order to meet you, I sometimes wait all afternoon on the road you might pass."1

"I hollowed out my mind and thought about what you like and what I would say when I see you. I remembered every word you told me for a long time."

"I was reluctant to spend every month's pocket money, because I was saving to buy you a gift."

"Even if you give me a leaf, I will treasure it happily..."

She paused and said with a deep voice, "But... the things I gave you changed hands. You gave it to your comrades-in-arms, your sister, and even your childhood sweetheart. You wouldn't do things like that if you had even a little affection to me at the time."9

"But, you don't."

Zhao Lanxiang suddenly raised her head and sneered. Her indifferent eyes, like needles, deeply penetrated Jiang Jianjun's heart.

It pierced his skin and stuck directly in his heart.

"You don't know how to respect me, so... don't you feel embarrassed to stop me now?"1

Jiang Jianjun's face suddenly turned pale. At this moment, his eyes flashed with the memory of her resentment before the divorce.1

Just as Jiang Jianjun felt so uncomfortable in his heart, Zhao Lanxiang's grievances faded away from her face, and she continued to poke his heart with a needle happily.

"Shuoming is different from you. He seriously introduced me to his friends and his parents. He took the time to accompany me even if he was busy during the New Year..."4

After Zhao Lanxiang said this, Jiang Jianjun's expression became even more ugly, and his whole body was tight.

He gripped her hand tighter, as if he could hold her heart firmly.

"Mother---, didn't I play enough with you just now, and you want to have another fight now? Do you want to dig a coal mine because the border is too boring?"

Before the person arrived, his voice came first. Gu Shuoming stretched out his neck from upstairs and didn't hide the thick threat on his voice.

He quickly hurried down, and his gaze faintly fell straight on Jiang Jianjun's hands.

Jiang Jianjun did not let go of her hand.

Gu Shuoming's face turned cold and threatening. "Let her go."5

When he was angry, he was alert all over, like a leopard who was about to fight to the death. His eyes were cold and sharp.

Jiang Jianjun finally let go of Zhao Lanxiang.

He walked in front of Gu Shuoming and said in a voice that only two people could say, "If it doesn't belong to you, you can never take it away."4

"You remember it for me."

Jiang Jianjun turned back, now in front of Zhao Lanxiang, he solemnly said, "I apologize for my behavior just now."

"Just look at our sentiments from the past, forgive me this time, is it alright? In fact, I have kept all the things you gave me, except for the food."

"If you do not believe me, you can go home with me to see it? They are guaranteed to be still there. I hide all of them well."

In the days after the divorce, he had read his ex-wife's diary. Those gifts that he never remembered were put on her heart. After being reborn, he picked them back one by one. Those that were lost and could no longer found, he bought a new identical one.28

Jiang Jianjun looked at Zhao Lanxiang pleadingly.2

Such a proud man bowed his head in front of a woman, not to mention such a good-looking man, and no one in the entire compound could be better than him. Such Jiang Jianjun whispered pleadingly for an unprecedented time.

Other women may be can't help but be soft-hearted, but Zhao Lanxiang was not the kind of girl who could be easily fooled. She glanced away and followed Gu Shuoming.5

Gu Shuoming sent her out of the army compound safely.
