Chapter 105: Jiang Hao’s Misjudgment

He Miao was shocked.  She’d never heard of such viciousness. “How can he be so inhuman!”

Zhao Chunhua sighed. “He’s not only vicious, but also inhuman.  Even now, in the police station, he’s still making excuses.”

“Who is that person? Could it be Li Nannan?” He Miao guessed it was her, as only Li Nannan seemed to harbor such intense hatred for Xu Weilan.

Zhao Chunhua slapped her thigh, “It’s her, but the old commander said he won’t care about this matter, so let it be!”

He Miao sighed, “That’s good, that’s good!”

He Miao chatted with them for a while before returning to her house. Xu Weilan took the opportunity to go back inside as well; her mouth was getting dry from talking. 

She wasn’t that anxious about the situation; Zhao Chunhua was simply idle and anxious for no reason.

Zhao Chunhua sighed as she walked towards her house.  As soon as she entered, Liu Jianguo began lecturing her, “What are you saying everywhere?

If the old commander heard it, he would think that you were deliberately spreading it. Isn’t this a slap in the face of the old commander?”

Zhao Chunhua retorted, “Will the old commander make things difficult for you?”

Liu Jianguo considered this. “No, I know you’ve been wronged in this matter. Don’t worry, the Qin family won’t let it go.

You’ll also benefit from it, so don’t worry about it. How about we eat ramen tonight?”

Zhao Chunhua glared at him, “Poop yourself!”

Liu Jianguo groaned, “I don’t know how to do it.”

“You can’t even poop in the toilet?”

Liu Jianguo almost cried, “Chunhua, can you not say such disgusting things?”

“You’re spoiled. Go soak the bacon and make the stew tonight.”

“Okay!” Liu Jianguo happily went to soak the bacon; it needed to be soaked to remove excess salt.

Xu Weilan returned to her room and asked Qin Yan what he wanted to eat.

Qin Yan thought for a while and said, “I’ll do it tonight.”

“Then what are you going to cook?”

“Let’s eat something simple, some noodles and some braised pork intestines, okay?” Qin Yan had been craving those pork intestines.

“Okay!”

Xu Weilan picked up her notebook and continued working on her script, striving for ingenuity and depth in every line and plot point.

Xu Weilan had been staying in the military compound, quietly waiting for news from Yi Ci regarding Xu Canlan’s release in two days.  She expected he’d only receive a short educational detention.

While Qin Yan was at work, Xu Weilan stayed home reading and working on her script. Xu Nian was on vacation and came to visit.

When Xu Weilan saw Xu Nian, she was shocked.  “Oh my God, who is this?” Xu Nian hugged her, “Sister Lan, you’re so bad, you don’t even recognize me.”

“Haha, I was just teasing you. It’s a rare holiday, are you going home?” Xu Weilan ruffled her hair.

Xu Nian nodded, “Sister Lan, look, I bought a lot of things. Come on, I’ll take you.” She planned to borrow Xu Weilan’s bike and take her home, returning her in the evening.

“Okay!”

Xu Weilan tidied herself up, braided her hair, and then took some things and went out with Xu Nian.

At the gate of the military compound, Xu Weilan saw a familiar figure.  She patted Xu Nian’s waist, “Niannian, stop the car, stop the car.”

Xu Nian stopped, unsure why. “What’s the matter? Sister Lan.”

Xu Weilan pointed, “Look who that is? Does it look like Jiang Hao?”

Xu Nian looked, but couldn’t see clearly. “It looks like him. Let’s go closer and take a closer look.”  She rode forward.

Jiang Hao emerged from a building, carrying things from a car.

Xu Weilan’s face darkened. She saw not only Jiang Hao, but also Qi Lu.

Xu Nian, unaware of Qi Lu’s feelings for Jiang Hao, asked curiously, “Who is that woman? Is she also a military wife? Who is her husband? Is he Jiang Hao’s leader?”

Xu Weilan got off the bicycle, walked to Qi Lu’s door, and called out: “Jiang Hao.”

Jiang Hao looked up, sweating. He immediately trotted forward, “Sister!”

Xu Weilan stared at Qi Lu, “What are you doing?”

Jiang Hao explained, “Sister Qi Lu is moving, and I’m here to help her move her things.”

“There are so many male comrades in the entire military region, why is it you?” Xu Weilan thought about Xu Qian’s reaction.

Jiang Hao sensed Xu Weilan’s displeasure.  “Sister, it’s not what you think. Sister Qi was originally looking for the deputy battalion commander, but he had a stomachache, so I came instead.”

Xu Weilan twitched her mouth, glanced at Jiang Hao meaningfully, then turned and left.  Jiang Hao stood there, confused.

Xu Weilan didn’t say anything else. She realized she’d thought too highly of some men. Not all men were like Qin Yan.

She saw that he was enjoying the attention from Qi Lu.

Xu Nian was confused, unaware of Qi Lu’s request for an introduction to Jiang Hao.

As Xu Weilan got on her bicycle, she saw Qi Lu coming out with a water cup and towel, offering water and wiping Jiang Hao’s sweat.  Jiang Hao didn’t refuse.

This was very noticeable.

Xu Weilan was unhappy, but realized Jiang Hao was careless and didn’t know how to avoid suspicion.  She worried about Xu Qian.

Along the way, Xu Weilan thought about Xu Qian and Jiang Hao.

At home, she saw Xu Qian knitting a sweater, clearly for Jiang Hao.

Xu Nian joked, “Oh, sister Qian, are you knitting a sweater for your boyfriend?”

Xu Qian blushed, “Sister, you’re back.”
