Chapter 25: Whose Wife Matters More

Leaving the notary office, the smile on Su Anan’s face deepened.

She hadn’t expected Lu Jingchen to be so efficient.

He didn’t even ask anything; as long as she spoke, he did it immediately.

Now, she had severed ties with Feng Cuihua, with proof from the notary office.

This notary office, established in the 1950s, has always been authoritative.

Absolutely no problem.

“Should you pack your things?” Lu Jingcong held Su Anan’s hand, speaking softly, a stark contrast to the ferociousness he displayed towards Feng Cuihua.

“Yes, I’ve already packed my things,” Su Anan patted the small package on her body.

Over the years, she mostly wore work clothes.

Her other clothes were mostly hand-me-downs from Xia Yuting.

As for other belongings, she had practically nothing.

She was wearing a long dress.

She used a jade pendant to settle the money owed by Wei Zhiming and Xia Yuting.

As for her regular salary, she had almost entirely given it to them.

Of course, she had a passbook, not only with the betrothal gift from Lu Jingchen, but also the money she dug up from under the kang in Feng Cuihua’s room.

Most of it was money left by her original parents, and some was money Su Dajun had obtained through illegal means over the years.

It totaled over 5,000 yuan.

She kept it, intending to use it as seed capital when policies loosened.

Therefore, she was traveling light.

It looked rather poor.

This made Lu Jingchen feel uncomfortable, tightening his grip on her hand: “Let’s get in the car.”

He personally opened the car door for her.

Helping her into the car.

“Su Anan, don’t regret this!” Feng Cuihua shouted from behind, unwilling to let go. She hadn’t squeezed Su Anan dry yet; she still had use for her.

She didn’t want to let her go.

Thinking that Su Anan had become an officer’s wife, and she hadn’t gotten any benefits from it, she felt heartbroken.

Su Anan dared to sever ties with her.

She had really grown wings.

“Auntie, what do we do? Brother Zhiming got into such trouble, I, I’m done for,” Xia Yuting stared at the military vehicle with red eyes.

All the way from Su’s house, they could only ride bicycles.

They couldn’t get close to the military vehicle.

Xia Yuting was already furious.

Thinking about Wei Zhiming being sent to the Northwest, she completely broke down.

Feng Cuihua was also breathing heavily in anger, her eyes full of malice.

Letting Su Anan go like this was indeed unacceptable.

She shouted at the military vehicle: “Su Anan, you are not my daughter and Su Dajun’s daughter!”

Su Anan, who had just gotten into the car, looked back, her expression calm.

If it were the original Su Anan, she would have jumped out of the car to ask for clarification.

But she already knew the truth, and it wouldn’t affect her at all.

Lu Jingchen was more emotional. He looked at Su Anan nervously: “Anan!”

He always thought Su Anan was sunny, positive, and pure.

Of course, she was also a bit shrewd.

A shrewdness he could accept.

“It’s okay,” Su Anan waved her hand, enjoying the sight of the handsome man worrying about her, “Whose daughter I am doesn’t matter, whose wife I am is what matters.”

This made Lu Jingchen’s heart flutter.

He quickly shifted his body and sat upright.

“Here, for you!” Su Anan took off the original owner’s jade pendant from her neck, “A token of love!” She took his pendant, and she gave him one too.

Lu Jingchen hadn’t recovered from his previous emotions, his ears slightly red. He reached out to take the jade pendant, and hung it around his neck like a treasure, showing his white teeth: “Thank you, wife!”

Wearing this jade pendant, he felt a sense of reassurance.

Otherwise, he always felt distant from Su Anan, a sense of detachment.

Now, it felt real.

“Xiao Ge, go to the department store,” Lu Jingchen was quite excited, telling Xiao Ge.

“Yes, Captain Lu.” Xiao Ge immediately turned the car towards the department store.

Su Anan had already guessed what Lu Jingchen was going to do.

She smiled.

This man was much better than she had imagined.

“Oh, isn’t this Su Anan? A poor thing still dares to come here.” As soon as they entered, the saleswoman looked Su Anan up and down, speaking with a sour tone.

She just couldn’t stand Su Anan’s charming face.

Su Anan was choosing clothes and hadn’t let Lu Jingchen come with her. She looked up at the saleswoman.

This was Xia Yuting’s best friend, Dong Xiaoju.

Xia Yuting’s downfall could be attributed to Su Anan.

The whole factory knew about it.

Dong Xiaoju naturally knew as well.

In the original text, she was also among those who drove the original Su Anan to her death.

After the original Su Anan framed Lu Jingchen and was sent to the countryside, she also became a laughingstock.

After discovering her pregnancy, she was even more scorned by everyone.

Xia Yuting would sarcastically mock her every day, and Dong Xiaoju came to Su’s house with Xia Yuting, directly scolding Su Anan for being shameless, disgracing women, and saying things like committing adultery and clinging to Wei Zhiming, extremely disgusting…

This became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

That day, Su Anan committed suicide by jumping into a well.

“There are no complaints now, well, it can let you live a few more years.” Su Anan rolled her eyes at her.

“What nonsense, you still want to complain about me, do you know who I am?” Dong Xiaoju raised her head, looking arrogant, “My uncle will directly get you kicked out of the textile factory.”

“Your uncle? Why not your parents?” Su Anan stopped choosing clothes, crossed her arms and looked at her, “Oh, right, your parents don’t have that ability, but your uncle, if you don’t lick, flatter, and suck up to him, can he control you? Right? The sacrifice is quite big? Tsk tsk, Director Liu won’t easily give favors to others, unless he gets something in return.”

Dong Xiaoju’s uncle was Liu Shiliang, the director of the textile factory.

He was always lecherous.

It was also because Sun Rong was too strict.

Dong Xiaoju’s face instantly turned pale, and in her excitement, she grabbed Su Anan’s arm: “You’re talking nonsense, you’re talking nonsense!”

“Guilty conscience!” Su Anan wouldn’t give her opponent any leeway, saying whatever was unpleasant, “But this won’t last long, someday your aunt, no, your cousin finds out, she won’t pull your hair out, scratch your face, you better be careful, don’t get too excited!”

She pulled back her arm.

Dong Xiaoju was like a madwoman, grabbing her arm so hard it hurt.

“How dare you…” Dong Xiaoju was really scared, looking around, afraid of being overheard.

If that happened, her reputation would be ruined.

And once it reached Sun Rong’s ears, she would be completely finished.

Su Anan frowned: “Let go of me, you’re hurting me!”

She naturally knew that she remembered all the plot points mentioned in the book.

Dong Xiaoju, with a ferocious face, glared at her: “Su Anan, if you dare to talk nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart, have my uncle fire you, and have your mother kicked out of the textile factory.”

She could only make vicious threats.

“Oh, so scary! With this, I want to try it, see if Liu Shiliang can do so much for you!” Su Anan showed some disdain.

Knowing that Dong Xiaoju had lost her composure.

This kind of woman who climbed to the top through despicable means, and was still so arrogant, deserved to die.

Dong Xiaoju was indeed frightened, her hand trembled, and she pushed Su Anan hard.

Behind her was a glass counter; if she hit it with that force, she would be either dead or crippled.
