Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander
Chapter 106: Aggrieved

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Aggrieved

Bai Fanglan kept on going, unable to understand why Gu Junming could accept a woman like that: poor, deceitful, and vain! If I say a bit more, as long as Gu Junming shows the slightest bit of doubt, it would be easier to handle this.

"Besides, her family is a big problem too. Her adoptive mother and sister are difficult to deal with. Once they find out your identity in the future, they will definitely entangle endlessly with you, and by that time..."

Gu Junming finally lost his patience and interrupted her: "I’ve known you for years, yet I didn’t realize your character was like this. Are you really a soldier? Are soldiers supposed to have your kind of quality? Can’t stand to see others doing well?"

Bai Fanglan had a lot more to say, but upon hearing Gu Junming’s words, she immediately fell silent, her face turned pale, and she felt dizzy. What did Gu Junming mean by that? Saying I have no character? Is that how he sees me in his eyes?

Gu Junming said, "There’s no need to talk about the past. We’re not that close, so you don’t need to worry about my future. Even if I end up picking someone bad and get unlucky, that would be my choice. If you continue to bother me, I’ll have a talk with Wang Hu and ask him how he manages his wife, who badmouths others every day. You’re a college student, acting like a shrew at the village entrance, truly disappointing."

After saying that, he left directly.

Bai Fanglan was left trembling, and by the time she came to her senses, Gu Junming was long gone, and no one paid attention to her.

The soldier standing guard at the door heard their conversation but remained unresponsive like a statue.

Bai Fanglan turned away in pain, quickly walking forward, tears streaming down her face as she walked.

She was truly in such pain and shame! The words Gu Junming said felt like slaps on her face. Since attending Gu Junming’s grandfather’s birthday party and being rejected by Gu Junming when marriage was brought up by the elders, she had been humiliated constantly! Now, Gu Junming didn’t even care about the years of friendship and said such absolute, harsh words!

Bai Fanglan was in unbearable pain, ultimately placing all the blame on Sun Chan. If not for that bitch, she wouldn’t have been so unlucky; it was all because of her! She gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Sun Chan to pieces.

Just because she had some looks, she used vile and despicable means to take away Gu Junming!

"I won’t let you have your way, I won’t let you marry into the Gu Family!" She made up her mind, wiped away her tears, and walked away resolutely. At first, she wanted to make a phone call but then decided to go in person, to let Sun Chan be directly humiliated by the Gu Family members, to let her taste the shame she had suffered!

Bai Fanglan took a car back home, arriving at night, lazily took off her shoes, and went inside. After all, X City was too far from here, so she was very tired and didn’t want to say much.

Bai Chuan was sitting on the sofa, feeling unhappy, and asked as soon as he saw his granddaughter enter: "Where did you go?"

Bai Fanglan was taken aback and then said, "I went to X City, what’s up? I finally got a day off, can’t I go wherever I want?"

"Wang Hu came to pick you up today, saying it was his grandfather’s birthday. And you weren’t even there! How do you behave as someone’s daughter-in-law?"

Bai Fanglan was annoyed and sat on the sofa: "Aren’t we not married yet? Besides, he didn’t say so in advance, a call would have been enough. How would I know he had something on? I’m not supposed to wait like a subordinate at home, awaiting his arrangements, right? I’ll go wherever I want."

Bai Chuan was a bit breathless: "You know what kind of family Wang Hu’s is, right? Shouldn’t you try to ingratiate and find out? His grandfather is a leader in the military, you could easily find out when his birthday is!"

Bai Fanglan couldn’t hold it anymore, stood up, and said, "Grandfather, I’m marrying him, not becoming the Wang Family’s servant! If he doesn’t tell me things, why should I be proactively digging around? Did his grandfather give me candy? Why should I curry favor? I do have a salary, why should I live so burdensomely?"

Bai Chuan slapped the table: "Because you are someone’s daughter-in-law! You should do these things as a daughter-in-law! I saw Wang Hu’s face didn’t look good when he left."

"When has his face ever looked good?" Bai Fanglan retorted with a sarcastic smile.

Wang Hu holds a high position, yet behaves like a block of wood, with no emotions involved, only looking for me when there is something needed or useful, without a single call normally. She had long thought of breaking the engagement countless times in her heart but knew it was really impossible now.

Bai Chuan rubbed his forehead: "You’re aware of my difficult situation now, right? Look at the previous years during holidays, how many people came, and now look at this year, who’s coming to our house? If you can’t hold onto Wang Hu, our family is finished. Without power, we’ll have to move out; you really want to live in a humble dwelling? Come and go by bicycle?"

Bai Fanglan didn’t answer, sitting opposite Bai Chuan. Of course, she didn’t want to experience such hardships.

Bai Chuan said, "I won’t say much more. I’ve prepared some gifts for you to take to Wang Hu tomorrow. I told him you went to X City for volunteer medical work, so don’t slip up." With that, he went upstairs.

Bai Fanglan agreed, looking at the gifts in the corner, thinking of how Gu Junming defended Sun Chan, she was even more furious.

The next day, when Wang Hu came to pick her up for work, Bai Fanglan naturally followed Bai Chuan’s instructions to explain things. Bai Chuan was urging from the side too: "This girl came back last night and wanted to call, but I didn’t let her since the old folks were definitely asleep. Don’t take it to heart, we work together after all, don’t let it interfere."

Bai Fanglan also handed Wang Hu the gifts: "I know it was your grandfather’s birthday, but I was really caught up, these are some fine walnut powder and calcium tablets, good for the old gentleman’s health."

She had applied some light makeup, her eyes glistening as she looked at Wang Hu.

Wang Hu didn’t think much of it, just felt that it wasn’t good for the granddaughter-in-law to be absent, but now knowing the reason, he nodded and accepted the gifts, saying: "I was a bit disappointed yesterday, but thinking about it now, it’s indeed my fault, I didn’t mention it beforehand, I’m sorry."

"It’s nothing," Bai Fanglan smiled: "We’re all family, why bother with the formalities? Let’s go, shall we have breakfast outside?"

"Sure, what do you want to eat?"

"Hmm, wonton, maybe."

Bai Fanglan remembered that was what Gu Junming and Sun Chan were eating when she saw them.

Wang Hu didn’t object, and the two left just like that.

Bai Chuan watched them leave, nodding in satisfaction; as long as Wang Hu was concerned about her, everything would be fine.
