Chapter 23: Chapter 23: A Woman’s Cry

This behavior of Wang Mei made Gu Fuqiao glance at her twice.

While looking at the apprehensive Wang Mei, she walked over and said, "I wanted to ask, where is the main gate... I can’t find my way."

"Oh, I see!" Upon hearing Gu Fuqiao’s words, Wang Mei let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Fuqiao looked at Wang Mei like this, feeling something was even more off.

Wang Mei’s demeanor clearly seemed like she had done something guilty related to her.

"Just keep walking that way, take a right at the end," Wang Mei raised her hand to direct Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao carefully observed Wang Mei, noticing that her speech had quickened significantly, with a clear mix of nervousness and guilt, and there were even beads of sweat on her face.

Though the sun was a bit bright at this moment, the temperature hadn’t risen yet.

It shouldn’t have made Wang Mei this hot... it couldn’t even be from shyness, because Gu Fuqiao remembered that when she first called out to Wang Mei, there was no sweat on her face.

"The weather is quite hot," Gu Fuqiao said to Wang Mei with a smile.

Upon hearing Gu Fuqiao’s words, a flash of panic crossed Wang Mei’s eyes. She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, saying somewhat unnaturally, "It is a bit hot... I just ate too quickly just now."

Eating? But clearly, Wang Mei just went straight to the back kitchen... could it be she was having a secret meal? What a poor excuse!

"You should eat at a slower pace," Gu Fuqiao teased, not fearing what Wang Mei might do.

She was naturally unafraid of fake innocence, being a secondary female character herself, she might as well go with the flow, and any fake innocent flower daring to cause a scene at her doorstep would receive no mercy!

"You’re right, Sister-in-law... By the way, Sister-in-law Gu, why are you suddenly going out? Are you going to your parents’ house?" Wang Mei abruptly changed the topic.

"Going to my parents’ house?" Gu Fuqiao knew just by looking at her, that Wang Mei was probably planning to play the good person again.

But actually, here there were no other people, so there was no need to pretend at all.

"No, not going to my parents’ house; Zhen Guo said he’d accompany me in a few days. I need to leave now, so he can have something to eat when he gets back from work." Gu Fuqiao didn’t give Wang Mei a chance to speak, and directly walked away after saying this.

After Gu Fuqiao left, Wang Mei’s pretty face showed a hint of jealousy.

Her hand tightened on the corner of her clothes by a fraction.

"Someone like you doesn’t deserve Brother Yan; why do you still pretend to be in love outside?" Wang Mei gritted her teeth, saying.

That soft and pleasant voice now carried a hint of coldness.

Meanwhile, Gu Fuqiao struggled desperately to walk outside, but she didn’t expect the gate to be so far!

And she was coincidentally wearing the original owner’s high heels, and barely after two steps, she felt she was about to collapse on the ground.

"I can’t do this, definitely need to change shoes next time!" Gu Fuqiao sat down by the flower bed and removed her shoes to massage her feet.

After sitting down, Gu Fuqiao didn’t want to get up again; she looked down at her feet.

She found red marks all over the white and tender instep, toe base, and the ankle area.

"I really shouldn’t have worn high heels out!" Gu Fuqiao frowned slightly.

The original owner probably wore high heels often. In the shoe cabinet, high heels were placed in the front row. She left in a hurry this morning and just grabbed them.

Gu Fuqiao usually preferred to wear sandals with high heels in the summer, but she didn’t expect the road to be this far, plus the high heels of this era were so hard and hurt the feet!

Looking at the unfamiliar road both in front and behind, Gu Fuqiao sighed.

She didn’t know anyone here, and the road to the market was so long, and there weren’t any shoes sold there. If she went back now, the road back was also not short, and she probably wouldn’t make it.

If she walked back barefoot...

Gu Fuqiao looked down at her feet.

This certainly wouldn’t work!

"Screech!" A large truck suddenly stopped in front of Gu Fuqiao, lifting a huge cloud of dust!

Gu Fuqiao was blinded by the dust and closed her eyes, involuntarily coughing, "cough cough cough!"

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Just when Gu Fuqiao was about to break down from the bad day and the dust, she unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.

She raised her hand to wave away the dust in front of her and then lowered her hand.

Seeing the young Cheng Zhang in front of her, she was somewhat surprised and said, "What are you doing here?"

"I was supposed to send the Camp Commander out on some errands, but the Commander said it wasn’t necessary, so I planned to head back." Cheng Zhang said, looking at Gu Fuqiao.

But he only glanced at Gu Fuqiao, and his ears turned completely red.

He had never seen a woman’s instep so fair and tender.

He was the youngest at home, with no older sister, and his mother had bound feet that looked strange and not pretty.

But he didn’t expect a woman’s foot could look this beautiful, no wonder Commander Yan married this Sister-in-law Gu, she was as beautiful as a fairy.

Seeing Cheng Zhang with his ears red like this, Gu Fuqiao was a bit puzzled, wondering if there was something wrong with her attire?

She looked down and saw that she wasn’t wearing shoes.

Raising her head again to look at Cheng Zhang and seeing his ears still red, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but curl her lips.

People of this age, with the exception of Su Jili, were probably pretty innocent, especially Cheng Zhang here.

This could make him blush; if he saw those girls on the street showing arms and legs in the future, he might bury himself in the ground.

But in public, in any era, being improperly dressed wasn’t really good.

Gu Fuqiao quickly put her high heels back on. Although her feet still hurt after putting them on, as long as she didn’t walk, it was bearable.

Seeing Cheng Zhang standing beside her with his head lowered, she came up with an idea and asked him, "Cheng Zhang, are you in a hurry to get back?"

"Not in a hurry, does Sister-in-law need something?" Cheng Zhang said, lifting his head after hearing Gu Fuqiao’s words.

Seeing Gu Fuqiao had put her shoes on, he finally let out a small breath of relief.

"I want to go home; can you give me a ride?" Gu Fuqiao said. In the current situation, going to the market was impossible, better to head home first.

"Of course, no problem, fortunately, it’s on my way too," Cheng Zhang said.

After Cheng Zhang nodded, Gu Fuqiao hurriedly got into the military truck.

Riding was surely faster than walking. Once home, her first action would be to immediately get rid of the high heels on her feet!

However, just after reaching the doorstep, she felt dumbfounded.

She didn’t have the key to this house and couldn’t get in at all!

"Oh no, I can’t get in!" Gu Fuqiao sighed at the tightly closed door when she heard faint sobbing of a woman inside.

The crying sounded very faint and unclear.
