hey-hey,
Gu Xiangbei thought it was quite a coincidence. He had thought the case was about to be solved, but when he looked at the letter of introduction, the location and people at the funeral were all so familiar!
Whether it’s something to say or not, that’s fate!
Meanwhile, Xu Zhizhi, whose head was buzzing from the noise, looked at “Old Li” with mixed feelings upon hearing this.
If it were her appearance before makeup, it would naturally be so stunning that fish would sink, geese would fall from the sky, the moon would hide, and flowers would blush; I could bewitch him to death.
But now she has messy hair, wrinkles and age spots all over her face, and is dressed in all black for a funeral. She is so afraid that she will scare him away from growing old together!
She looked at herself in a small mirror on the train just now, and it was indeed a bit creepy.
Originally, I planned to find a guesthouse when I arrived at the base, sleep soundly for a long time, then go to my space to find some good food, and make a dazzling appearance in my trendiest floral jacket.
But now the plan has fallen through.
However, it was good that she had encountered this situation, as it helped clear her name of suspicion as a human trafficker. She had been on the train for three days. Although she was staying in a sleeper berth, there was no shower or toilet available on the train, and she had a strong body odor.
She wanted to sleep and take a shower.
After composing herself, Xu Zhizhi looked up at the person who had come, revealing eight small white teeth in a kind smile.
“Hello!”
The man approaching was burly, with sharply defined eyebrows and lips that gave the impression of someone clenching their teeth.
He possessed both a scholarly air and a robust masculine strength.
Xu Zhizhi was stunned. Her hunched posture, which she had just maintained, straightened up instantly. The noise from the passersby seemed to disappear, and the person appeared before her with an aura of light.
As expected of the male lead!
That aura is just too obvious.
That brat Zhou Tian actually managed to create such a handsome man just through pure wishful thinking. I can only say that she really ate well in the book!
She wouldn’t even let me eat it, ugh, she insisted on eating it anyway!
“Old Li, this old comrade’s letter of introduction says she’s here for your funeral, and she doesn’t look like you. She shouldn’t be your aunt, right?”
Gu Xiangbei pulled his good friend over and handed him the letter of introduction.
Li Wenzhu took the letter, and when he saw the words “Xu Zhizhi” in large characters, his body trembled slightly.
Is it her?
Xu Zhizhi, the selfish woman who aborted her child in her dream and remarried?
His gaze lowered and landed on the person opposite him.
The elderly woman, dressed in black clothes and trousers, with dark skin and obvious wrinkles, looked completely different from the beautiful bride on her wedding night. At this moment, she really resembled an old lady who was about to hold a funeral at home.
Upon closer inspection, one can find traces of Xu Zhizhi in the details.
Especially her eyes, clear and clean, yet moist, suddenly reminded Li Wenzhu of the night before she left, when, after their passionate encounter, she had wept and thrown herself into her arms.
Without warning, he stroked Xu Zhizhi’s cheek with his finger.
“hiss!”
Xu Zhizhi was startled by the sudden movement, and looked up abruptly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettish anger.
Li Wenzhu looked at the charcoal black stain on her hand and stared at her silently for a few seconds.
Just as expected!
She’s wearing makeup, it’s her!
But when his eyes fell on her all-black attire, he swallowed back the words he was about to say. Could it be that she really had come to attend his funeral?
Thinking of this, Li Wenzhu’s eyes darkened.
What are you doing here?
The Gu family, still waiting for the case to be solved: ? ? ?
Oh, we really know each other!
He silently repeated the name Xu Zhizhi on the letter of introduction to himself. Oh, he remembered. He had received a phone call from Xu Zhizhi before and heard her introduce herself.
It’s like the flood washed away the Dragon King’s temple; this is Old Li’s wife.
Realizing he had mistaken the bride for his mother, Gu Xiangbei chuckled and scratched his head awkwardly.
“Old Li, isn’t the name on this letter of introduction your sister-in-law? Look at my memory, I should be punished. I was wondering why she didn’t look like an old lady.”
Gu Xiangbei, holding Da Ya’s hand, pointed to the opposite side.
“Da Ya, call for help!”
Daya puffed out her cheeks and hesitated, “Grandma?”
“You silly girl, why are you calling her ‘Grandma’? This is Uncle Li’s wife, call her ‘Auntie’!”
Li Wenzhu ignored the family of three across the street, her eyes fixed on Xu Zhizhi.
He then asked, “You took the train by yourself?”
“Yeah, I sat on the train for three days with my hands handcuffed.” Xu Zhizhi glanced at her still-handcuffed hands with feigned grievance.
He looked pitiful on the outside, but inwardly he was full of admiration!
Having traveled a thousand miles to accompany the army, she never expected to meet the male lead in this situation. Although it was sudden, Xu Zhizhi had already prepared herself mentally for half a day. She slightly raised her hand, her fair wrist exposed to the cold air, the red from the friction of the handcuffs particularly glaring.
Xu Zhizhi’s body is naturally fair, so any scars on her skin are particularly glaring.
“Wenzhu, have I caused you any trouble…?”
Xu Zhizhi looked at him timidly, her eyes brimming with tears.
Her delicate and aggrieved appearance dispelled all of Li Wenzhu’s questions. He turned to the train police officer beside him, explained Xu Zhizhi’s identity, and showed him his military officer’s ID.
The matter became clear: the still-attractive old lady had indeed come to attend a funeral!
The man didn’t die; it was all a misunderstanding!
The train police quickly removed Xu Zhizhi’s handcuffs, and just as she was repeatedly apologizing, the local police arrived.
According to procedure, I still need to go to the police station to give a statement.
So, taking this opportunity, Li Wenzhu took Xu Zhizhi to wash off her makeup.
Gu Xiangbei and the others stayed in the lobby of the police station to wait.
In the hall,
Zhang Chun’e was still talking to her husband, “Xiang Bei, was that old lady really Battalion Commander Li’s wife?”
Judging solely by looks, Battalion Commander Li’s face is truly handsome; even a rough and uncultured woman like her blushes and her heart races after just a few glances.
How could he be matched with a wife who was so old?
What did your family think?
Gu Xiangbei explained, “It doesn’t necessarily mean she’s old. I guess my sister-in-law is wearing makeup! Let’s see later.”
But why was his wife blushing just now?
He admitted that Lao Li was good-looking, but good-looking men are hard to describe; they’re not as good-looking as him, who has a kind and honest appearance.
Among the ones he knew were Bai Xue from the performing arts troupe and Liu Qiao’er from the cooking squad.
Especially Bai Xue, who can write poetry, sing and dance. Ever since the cultural troupe came, no single young man has disliked her.
Judging from how timid my sister-in-law looked just now, she probably really couldn’t hold her tongue.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Zhizhi had already washed off her special makeup, revealing a fair and pretty face.
Seeing his delicate and charming wife, Li Wenzhu stared blankly.
“You must be exhausted from the journey. Are you feeling alright?”
What he really wanted to ask was whether the child was still alive.
But I didn’t dare ask!
Xu Zhizhi blinked her eyelashes, which were still wet with tears, and shook her head. “I’m not tired. I know you won’t die. Even if we’re thousands of miles apart, I’ll bring the child to find you.”
Li Wenzhu paused, his gaze fixed on Xu Zhizhi’s cheeks still damp with tears, his eyes deep.
“You mean the child? Our child is still alive?”
“certainly!”
Xu Zhizhi nodded, speaking gently yet firmly.
“I’ve been eating well the whole way, and I’ve been constantly reminding myself not to get too emotional. Even if, even if the worst happens, I will still give birth to your child and raise it on my own!”
In her previous life, she was a corporate slave and a single dog for more than 30 years. She was still working an hour before her surgery, and her body was so tired that it gave out.
Since we’re already married, why not try a different way of living?
Be a pampered little woman.
Moreover, this man will rise rapidly in his career.
As long as he pampers her unconditionally, she can naturally enjoy a retirement life where she can see flowers, clouds, and the world.
Looking at Xu Zhizhi’s eyes, which were red from holding back her pain, Li Wenzhu suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
She actually has such deep feelings for me?
I had even doubted her as a selfish and wicked woman because of a dream.
Li Wenzhu was like a little boy who had done something wrong, rubbing his hands, not knowing how to express his apology. He just awkwardly put his arm around Xu Zhizhi’s waist, afraid of hurting the child. It was the first time in his life that he had been so at a loss when dealing with someone.
“No, you won’t raise a child alone. I’ll definitely treat you well in the future!”
Xu Zhizhi felt the warm breath on her neck and thought to herself, “As expected, romantics always come from wealthy families.”
If you’re going to work with a man, you need to be prepared to be a kindergarten teacher!
She had worked part-time at an art class for young children during her university years, so she had a certain understanding of children’s psychology.
As Xu Zhizhi recalled child psychology in her mind, she hugged Li Wenzhu’s lean and strong waist, embracing with all her might the wealth and glory of her later life.
