Chapter 184: Putting on a Show

No matter how much Captain Wang disliked Luo Caixia, she was the most suitable marriage candidate he had chosen after careful consideration.

Liu Feng was just an accident.

He didn’t want to divorce Luo Caixia and marry Liu Feng.

Divorce had a bad reputation, and getting married to his former mistress after that would make the reputation even worse. If he really did that, the gossip would spread around the family compound for decades.

He pointed at Liu Feng and ruthlessly chased her away, “Are you leaving or not? If you don’t, I will.”

“I’m not leaving.” Liu Feng refused outright.

Luo Caixia also stood her ground. The trouble Captain Wang had caused should be resolved by him.

“Fine, I’ll leave.”

Captain Wang stormed out, standing at the entrance of his own house, feeling lost.

Going anywhere would be embarrassing.

Finally, he strode towards Lin Xiangnan’s house.

Under Lin Xiangnan’s surprised gaze, he explained calmly, “I have something to talk to Gu Zhenhua about.”

Seeing Wang He playing in the yard, Captain Wang said awkwardly, “Wang He is still playing at your place.”

Since he was already here, he couldn’t just kick him out.

Gu Zhenhua sighed, “Come on, let’s go to the roof to talk. Leave the yard for the kids.”

They climbed up to the roof and sat down. Captain Wang then said with a troubled expression, “I knew I should have brought a bottle of wine. A good drink would solve all my worries.”

“Don’t even think about it. Drinking on the roof isn’t safe.” Gu Zhenhua was very cautious about his life and said disapprovingly, “If you want to drink, go home and drink by yourself. I’m not accompanying you.”

Sitting on the roof, Captain Wang could see everything happening in his own yard.

Compared to other places, Gu’s house was more convenient for him to keep an eye on the situation. Besides, the two houses were close to each other, so Gu’s family knew most of Wang’s family affairs.

They had already seen the jokes, so Captain Wang didn’t have to pretend in front of Gu Zhenhua and simply threw caution to the wind.

“That woman still won’t leave. She’s making it impossible for me to go home.”

“You deserve it. Who told you to mess with her in the first place?” Gu Zhenhua scolded, “You did wrong.”

“I know I was wrong now.” Captain Wang regretted.

Gu Zhenhua exposed his weakness, “You know it hurts after you get beaten. Before the trouble broke out, you probably had other thoughts in your mind.”

“Anyway, in this situation, if I say I have nothing to do with Liu Feng, you won’t believe me.” Captain Wang continued to be stubborn.

“Yeah. I don’t believe you.”

Captain Wang was choked and awkwardly changed the subject, “Luo Caixia is also, Liu Feng came to our house, and she didn’t even use a broom to chase her away.”

The situation at Wang’s house was relatively good. There was no arguing or fighting.

Luo Caixia calmly said to Liu Feng, “Aren’t you leaving yet? It’s going to be dark soon.”

“I’m waiting for Captain Wang to come back. If it doesn’t work out, what’s wrong with staying at your place for a night?” Liu Feng said angrily, “I didn’t react in time just now, and he ran away. When he comes back, I’ll settle things with him no matter what.”

“If you don’t leave, he won’t come back.” Luo Caixia pointed to Captain Wang on the roof, “Look, he’s watching you.”

Liu Feng stomped her feet angrily and cursed, “What kind of person is he?”

Seeing that she couldn’t wait for him, Liu Feng could only say to Luo Caixia, “I didn’t finish what I said just now. When he comes back, you tell him something for me.”

“Okay. Tell me.” Luo Caixia remained calm.

“Just tell him that I denied my relationship with him because I wanted to marry him with a clean slate. If he doesn’t marry me, I’ll go and recant my testimony tomorrow. I’ll be finished, and he won’t get anything good either. Anyway, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes.”

“Okay, I’ll tell him.”

Having interacted with Liu Feng twice, Luo Caixia knew that Liu Feng wouldn’t dare to die, she was just making a fuss. Recanting her testimony was definitely not something she would dare to do.

But Captain Wang didn’t know Liu Feng’s mentality.

He watched Liu Feng leave before coming down from the roof of Lin Xiangnan’s house, and he went home with Wang He in a relaxed manner.

As soon as he got home, he was shocked by Luo Caixia’s words and couldn’t recover for a long time.

Captain Wang really didn’t know what to do. He truly believed that Liu Feng wasn’t afraid of death, and he was indeed threatened.

“If you hadn’t gone to report it, things wouldn’t have gotten so bad… I really can’t understand how you could do such a stupid thing…” Captain Wang blamed Luo Caixia.

Luo Caixia at home and Liu Feng outside were both accusing Captain Wang of misconduct, and he really couldn’t deny it.

Seeing him holding his head and looking distraught, Gu Zhenhua couldn’t help but feel a toothache.

His expression was a bit too rich, making Lin Xiangnan curious and climb up to the roof to join in the gossip.

“What happened? What did Captain Wang tell you just now?”

“What else could he say? He said he regretted it.” Gu Zhenhua said sympathetically, “If he can suppress this matter, it’s fine. If Liu Feng continues to make a fuss, he’ll be punished.”

The main reason was that this matter had a bad influence and tarnished the image of the military.

“Character and profession have nothing to do with each other.” Lin Xiangnan complained, “Captain Wang can’t represent the entire military.”

Gu Zhenhua couldn’t help but feel sorry, “Captain Wang is still clear-headed in major matters. He’s just confused about minor things. He messed up a good family like this.”

“Your evaluation applies to everyone. Aren’t most Chinese people like this? They love the party and the country, and they are absolutely reliable in major matters. The key is to look at these minor things, right?”

Even though Lin Xiangnan was lazy, she felt that she was clear-headed in major matters. When the factory was short of talents for research and development, she slacked off, but she was still on duty at critical moments.

According to her own pace of life, she was not willing to work at all, but she had been working for over a year now.

“Anyway, it’s his own fault.” Gu Zhenhua stood up, “Let’s go, don’t look at him anymore. Let’s go down, it’s not safe on the roof.”

“You’re leaving before I finish talking. You won’t even tell me how Captain Wang regrets it.”

Lin Xiangnan climbed down from the roof and went to Gu Zhenhua, insisting on getting the details of what happened.

Lin Xiangnan knew about Luo Caixia’s tricks, but she didn’t know what was going on with Captain Wang.

“Did Captain Wang cry or anything when Luo Caixia said she wanted to divorce him?”

“I thought you were busy with work recently and didn’t care about this, since you’re not being nice to Old Wang.” Gu Zhenhua said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to know so much. You even know that Luo Caixia mentioned divorce, Old Wang just told me.”

Lin Xiangnan said confidently, “Who doesn’t put on a show when they’re out and about?”

Of course, gossip should be eaten secretly, not in front of the main character. If Luo Caixia didn’t tell her, Lin Xiangnan wouldn’t ask her.

“That’s true. Old Wang is also quite good at putting on a show. He was still being stubborn with me just now.”
