Chapter 827: Chapter 0827 After New Year’s Day 2

No matter what, Wan Xinguo was a soldier of the nation, their brother. Feng Qingxue didn’t want a situation where everyone knew about Chen Chen’s infidelity except for Wan Xinguo, the last to find out, so she told Lu Jiang.

"You see, it’s up to you to decide whether to tell Wan Xinguo or what to do next."

Anger flickered in Lu Jiang’s eyes, "Shameless!"

Spouses should be loyal to each other, both in body and in emotion, regardless of gender.

Feng Qingxue sighed, "This matter, it’s not convenient to speak of directly, we have to consider Wan Xinguo’s dignity."

As an older military officer, happily married through an arrangement by the army to a beautiful young wife, while he was stationed away due to work, he was leading soldiers and conducting trainings here, and his wife was having an affair in the Capital, as if his face had been ripped off and trampled on the ground a thousand, ten thousand times.

Lu Jiang said, "The army has just approved the leave of Shang Kun and Qiao Desheng so they can reunite with their wives in the Capital. Chief Su Junlin and Chief Peng Hu are also going back to the Capital on leave; the latter is because Comrade Zhou Fei’s request to transfer to our military region’s cultural troupe was not approved. I’ll go find Wan Xinguo and have him go with Shang Kun and the others for company." He said, picking up his military coat.

"Does Wan Xinguo have leave?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"Yes, he hasn’t taken leave for several years, so of course, he has leave to visit his family."

Feng Qingxue frowned slightly, "If he has leave, why doesn’t he request it like Shang Kun and Qiao Desheng? Is it that he doesn’t value his marriage, or is it that he hasn’t focused on it?"

"Neither!" Wan Xinguo answered with a bitter smile when Lu Jiang asked him this question, pouring water for Lu Jiang and continued, "I wrote to Comrade Chen Chen last year, wanting to take leave to visit her in the Capital. I have twenty days of family visit leave a year, and the travel time doesn’t even count, but she said she was very busy, with performances every day in the cultural troupe, she had a heavy responsibility, and even if I arrived, she wouldn’t have time to entertain me."

Suppressing his anger, Lu Jiang said, "So you just decided not to go?"

"Comrade Chen Chen is young, and our marriage was arranged by the army. Our revolutionary feelings are not that deep. I have to respect her wishes, give her some freedom, and not make her feel that I’m too overbearing," Wan Xinguo answered earnestly.

After hearing this, Lu Jiang really wanted to scold Wan Xinguo for being a fool. Remembering that Wan Xinguo was older but inexperienced in these matters, he held back the words and said, "Don’t say anything else. You write up an application for leave, have the deputy commander take over your work. You will go back to the Capital with Shang Kun, Qiao Desheng, and the others—it happens that the places you’ll be visiting are the same."

Wan Xinguo was stunned, a sudden surge of apprehension in his heart, "Commander, has something happened?"

Lu Jiang gave him a look, "I don’t know the specifics of what happened, I haven’t been to the Capital in these years. However, Xibao’s mother has heard some troubling rumors from her friends in the Capital about you and Comrade Chen Chen. We take it very seriously. Comrade Xinguo, you’re my brother. We have advanced and retreated together on the battlefield, your matters are my matters."

Wan Xinguo’s face changed, "Comrade Lu Jiang, just tell me the truth. What exactly happened? If I’m going to the Capital, I need to be mentally prepared. I’ve crawled out of piles of corpses; I can withstand any blow."

Lu Jiang pondered for a moment, unsure of where to start.
