Chapter 1961 80s 10

Wu Jianguo knew, of course, that people would say she couldn't get married, or that they would suspect she had some health problems.

Or perhaps he doubted her character, otherwise why would he break off the engagement?

She didn't go back, perhaps because she didn't want to face the questions and accusations from her fellow villagers, but she also couldn't stay in the capital forever.

"I know, do I need to write a letter to your parents explaining the reason?"

"Heh, is that necessary? If you truly cared about me, you wouldn't have asked that question at all. You would have written it down for me to take back, or even personally escorted me back to explain things to them. You're so hypocritical. You clearly don't want to, yet you still ask. And even if you ask, you won't do anything. The reason you're concerned about me not going back to my hometown is because you're worried that my presence here will affect you, or perhaps you're worried that something might happen to me here, and you won't be able to explain it, right?"

"I didn't... I'm not like that at all. I just genuinely care about you."

"Heh, do you even believe that yourself? The way you sounded accusatory the moment you arrived, and you said you cared about me, but I think you're worried I'll drag you down with you."

When Su Yan exposed Wu Jianguo's thoughts, he was somewhat annoyed, but he hid it very well and put on a helpless expression, saying, "If you insist on thinking of me this way, there's nothing I can do. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore. Just don't come looking for me again."

"Hehe, as long as you don't come looking for me again, I definitely won't come looking for you."

"Well, you'd better remember what you said."

After saying that, Wu Jianguo left without looking back.

Su Yan guessed that the scumbag would come looking for her after meeting Li Chunyan yesterday, and sure enough, he came the next day.

This person is so hypocritical. He knows perfectly well that his actions were inappropriate, yet he remains unmoved.

He gave Su Yan money to make up for the hurt caused by the annulment of the engagement, but what if the person here today was the original owner of this body instead of Su Yan?

After being jilted, was the original owner of this body able to safely return to her hometown?

If someone has never traveled far from home, even if he wants to annul the engagement, shouldn't he safely send her back to her parents' home instead of letting her fend for herself?

After all, the original owner of this body came to the capital with him. In this unfamiliar place, he was certain that she could return to her hometown safely.

Moreover, he gave her a huge sum of money, didn't he ever consider whether she could safely leave with it?

He may not care about the original owner's life or death, but as a soldier, can't he even consider such a basic safety issue?

He had already spent a lifetime with the original owner of this body, but after being reborn, he had no feelings for the original owner at all, and even felt some disgust towards her.

After spending a lifetime with a dog, one should develop some feelings for it, but he only showed indifference and disgust towards the original owner of the body.

The original owner of this body did not wrong him in her previous life. On the contrary, he was the one who gave her the cold shoulder and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father.

Now he's acting all dramatic, rushing to her door to question her, as if the whole world revolves around him.

After Wu Jianguo left, I felt angry, like the annoyance of someone I had been controlling rebelling.

He needs to think about what to do next.

His transfer order was delayed, which made him consider leaving the army.

In a future of peace and no wars, there is little room for advancement for soldiers.

But doing business is different now. Now anyone can make a fortune as long as they do business.

What good is it to do well in the army? In his past life, he obediently followed orders, but because he had no connections, he was stuck at the rank of second lieutenant for life.

The reason he wanted to stay in the army for another two years was mainly to wait for Li Chunyan, thinking that being in the army would give him an excuse to contact her.

Looking back now, I realize that as long as you're willing, you'll always have opportunities to connect.

After returning home, he wrote an application to transfer to civilian work.

What's the most profitable business right now? He might not be able to do big businesses, but surely he can do small businesses?

He decided to go to the south to buy goods to sell. Now that the reform and opening up had just begun, everyone was pursuing new trends. He was going to buy some fashionable and modern clothes to sell, which he was sure would be very popular.

While waiting for instructions from his superiors, Wu Jianguo found a time to meet with Li Chunyan.

When Li Chunyan heard that he was about to go far away, she asked with some concern, "Why do you suddenly want to start a business again? Isn't it better to stay in the army?"

"The military is great and stable, but it's too stable. There's no passion and no room for advancement. I want to create a better future. I want to earn more money so I can spend it on the person I love."

"I want to buy her a big house, let her wear beautiful clothes, and earn enough money so that she can live a life free from worries about food and clothing."

Li Chunyan blushed and felt hot. Seeing how determined he was and how intense his gaze was on her, she suddenly looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Why are you telling me all this?

"I just wanted to share my thoughts with you, so you wouldn't worry."

"Oh, alright then. Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

Although neither of them said it explicitly, Li Chunyan could sense Wu Jianguo's sincerity and enthusiasm.

She was deeply moved, but then she thought of her husband and couldn't help but start to worry.

Her lover will be back in a few days. Should she bring up the topic of divorce with him?

Li Chunyan has already started thinking about divorce, and she is even excited about it.

But when her husband Yuan Qing came back, she was so frightened that she dared not say anything and began to play the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother again.

Fortunately, he only stayed at home for two days before leaving. By then, she already felt a physical aversion to him and found his body repulsive.

Yuan Qing didn't notice anything unusual at home and left in a hurry.

He originally planned to come back and spend quality time with his wife and daughters, to make up for the years he had neglected them.

But faced with the choice between national interests and personal interests, he had no choice but to choose the country.

This time, they suddenly received orders from their superiors to cooperate with the police in the Yunnan-Burma area to arrest a group of vicious drug traffickers.

The order came suddenly, and he was picked up by his comrades before he even had a chance to say goodbye to his family.

Watching his hurried departure, Li Chunyan even maliciously thought to herself, "I wish he would never come back."

The car that was picking up Yuan Qing had just reached a bend when it screeched to a halt.

Yuan Qing frowned as he looked at the young girl in front of the car.

"Little girl, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, but something's wrong with you."

"It's alright. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute, do you have a dollar? I haven't eaten for days, can you lend me a dollar?"

Yuan Qing checked the time, worried that he might be late for the rendezvous, so without thinking, he took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Su Yan.

"No need to pay it back."

"No, that won't do. You have to repay what you borrow. When I say I'm borrowing, I really mean it. I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I have a good luck charm here. I'll leave it with you for now and redeem it when I have the money."

"You don't need to pay it back. I really don't need you to pay it back."

"Don't pity me just because I'm poor. I'll earn money to pay you back in the future."

Not wanting to hurt the girl's pride, Yuan Qing took the amulet and smiled, "Alright, I'll wait for you to come and pay me back."

“I know you live in the compound in front; I’ll return it to you later.”

After saying that, Su Yan left, and Yuan Qing could only put the amulet she had given her into her pocket.

Thinking that if she really came to redeem him in the future, what would he do if he didn't have a good luck charm to return to her? So he decided to put it in his pocket.
