Chapter 70:  Divorce

As for Zhou Jinchuan, she only found out about him a few years later when everyone returned to work in the capital.

It turned out that Zhou Jinchuan was not only capable and talented, but his background was also incredibly powerful.

The only strange thing was that he was still a single man after returning to the capital for several years.

At the time, she felt a little regretful.  Back in the army, she only thought he was too strict and difficult to approach.

If she had known about his background, she would have clung to him, even if it meant pestering him, just to have something happen between them.

Now, after being reborn, she knew.

But she had already gotten married and slept with the man she hated most!!!

Thinking of this, Bai Ruolin couldn’t hold it back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Startled, Qin Yunfeng immediately sat up. “What’s wrong?”

When he saw the bloodstain on the sheet, his face turned pale. “Ruolin, why are you spitting blood?”

Seeing him reach out to help her, Bai Ruolin disgustingly slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch me.”

Qin Yunfeng thought she was worried about getting dirty, so he hurriedly said, “It’s already like this, what’s clean or dirty? I’ll take you to the medical clinic right now.”

Bai Ruolin coldly snorted, “I find you disgusting!”

Qin Yunfeng looked at her incredulously, then touched her forehead. “What’s wrong with you?”

Bai Ruolin angrily turned her face away. “Qin Yunfeng, we’re getting a divorce!”

“Are you sick?” Qin Yunfeng was still worried about her health, but when he heard her ask for a divorce, he couldn’t help but blurt it out.

After saying it, he realized it was inappropriate.

He quickly changed his words, “I know you’re sick and uncomfortable, but you shouldn’t say anything like that. I’ll take you to see a doctor now.”

Bai Ruolin snorted coldly and lay down directly, “I’m not going anywhere. You’d be happy if I died, so you could inherit our family’s fortune.”

Qin Yunfeng had been enduring, but seeing her relentless,

The last bit of concern he had disappeared. “I think you’re the one who’s sick. Go if you want.”

He turned and lay down himself.

Seeing Qin Yunfeng like this, Bai Ruolin felt even colder in her heart.

In her previous life, they had at least pretended to be a loving couple for a few years. They had just gotten married, and he didn’t even want to pretend for a day?

Heh.

Bai Ruolin lay awake all night.

She went over and over the events of her previous life and this life.

As soon as dawn broke, she got up to wash and change clothes.

Qin Yunfeng had slept through the night, and the details of the previous night were a bit hazy.

Seeing her calm expression, he tentatively asked again, “How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the infirmary?”

Bai Ruolin had calmed down now and realized that making a scene at this point wouldn’t be good for her.

She calmly replied, “Okay, let’s go eat breakfast first, and then we’ll go together later.”

“Last night, I think I had a nightmare. I was trapped in a nightmare and I don’t know if I said anything crazy.”

Qin Yunfeng was startled for a moment, then he felt relieved. “It’s okay, even if you did, I wouldn’t mind.”

The two of them tidied up and went to the cafeteria for breakfast together.

When the infirmary opened, they were the first to see the doctor.

The doctor examined her and couldn’t find anything wrong.

“It’s probably a heat rash. You’re newlyweds, but you should take it easy. Go back and observe, drink plenty of hot water, and get some rest!”

Leaving the infirmary, Qin Yunfeng told her to rest and then went to work.

Bai Ruolin watched Qin Yunfeng leave, then turned and walked towards the Political Commissar Wang’s office.

As soon as she entered, Bai Ruolin started crying, tears streaming down her face.

Political Commissar Wang was completely confused. “What’s going on? I thought everything was fine at the wedding banquet yesterday?”

Bai Ruolin cried as she spoke, “Uncle Wang, I can’t live like this for another day. I want to divorce Qin Yunfeng.”

“What? Are you crazy?” Political Commissar Wang slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his voice filled with agitation. “You just got married, what kind of divorce are you talking about? Absurd!”

“I think you’re just tired of the good life, always making trouble!”

Bai Ruolin sobbed even harder, “Uncle Wang, didn’t you initially disapprove of Qin Yunfeng? I was young and didn’t understand before, but now I finally see that he’s not a good match.”

Political Commissar Wang felt his temples throbbing, “Don’t even think about it. Go home and live your life. If I hear any rumors, I won’t be able to protect you!”

Bai Ruolin saw the impatience in his stern expression and the weariness in his brows.

She immediately stopped crying.

Her heart ached even more.

In her previous life, Uncle Wang had always been so accommodating, always standing by her side.

He had even initially advised her against marrying Qin Yunfeng, and after they married, he had encouraged her to divorce if she couldn’t make it work.

Why had he changed so much now?

Seeing that her last hope was gone, Bai Ruolin could only stand up and leave, her soul absent.

She decided to think things over again.

As she stepped out of the door, she ran into Zhou Jinchuan in the hallway.

Bai Ruolin quickly wiped away her tears, forcing a smile, and called out timidly, “Commander Zhou—”

But before she could finish, Zhou Jinchuan brushed past her.

He didn’t even spare her a glance.

Bai Ruolin unwillingly turned her head to look at his back, a bitter taste spreading through her heart.

If she hadn’t married Qin Yunfeng yet, she could have openly pursued Zhou Jinchuan.

Unfortunately—

If she could divorce Qin Yunfeng sooner, maybe she would still have a chance.

Even if it wasn’t possible now, she could start over in two years when they returned to the capital.

Exiting the office building, Bai Ruolin stood on the stairs, gazing at the compound, lost in thought.

Since even Political Commissar Wang was against it, a divorce was out of the question for now.

She might as well stabilize Qin Yunfeng for now and think about it later.

After all, with the memories of her past life, she wasn’t worried about her future.

Thinking this, Bai Ruolin felt a sense of reassurance.

She lifted her foot and headed towards the dining hall.

She wanted to meet this Su Yi who had brought her misfortune ever since she arrived at the compound.

Meanwhile, Su Yi was in the kitchen, working and laughing with Xu Xiaoqin.

Unbeknownst to them, Bai Ruolin stood at the doorway, staring silently at Su Yi.

“Goodness, you scared me! Why were you standing there without saying a word?” Xu Xiaoqin exclaimed, startled.

Su Yi raised an eyebrow, “Something you need?”

Bai Ruolin pursed her lips, “Su Yi, come out for a minute, I have something to ask you.”

“No time! This is my work time.”

Su Yi refused without hesitation.

Bai Ruolin’s eyes flashed with hatred, “Su Yi, I know it’s all because of you that this life has been so miserable. If you don’t come out, you’ll be waiting for a lose-lose situation.”

Su Yi originally didn’t plan to pay attention to her, but suddenly heard her mention “this life.”

Her heart skipped a beat, Bai Ruolin was reborn?!

Thinking of this, Su Yi couldn’t care less, she quickly took off her apron and went out.

Xu Xiaoqin hurriedly pulled her back, “Su Yi, don’t go, I think she’s up to no good.”

Su Yi quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let myself suffer a loss.”

Saying that, she quickly followed her out.
