Chapter 1

Wedding night.

Qi Sisi woke up and sat leaning against the bedpost, seeing nothing but red.

Under the dim candlelight, the old-fashioned calendar on the bedside table showed that it was June 24, 1984, Sunday, a good date for marriage.

In the middle of the wall is a large portrait of Chairman Mao, with smaller red “囍” characters on both sides.

Many colorful ribbons were glued to the ceiling, and big red “囍” characters were posted on the bookcases and windows, making it look extremely festive.

There is a sewing machine in the corner, and next to it is a solid wooden washbasin rack with two newly bought enamel washbasins in bright red mandarin duck patterns.

Qi Sisi saw her own appearance through the full-length mirror in the closet.

She was wearing a red wedding gown, with two pigtails and a thick layer of makeup on her face, looking as white as if she was going to be buried in the ground.

The bright blush on the cheeks looks a bit disastrous.

Combined with the surrounding scenes, it is not difficult to guess that she was… reborn to her wedding night?

Thinking about what happened next, Qi Sisi suddenly felt disgusted with herself for looking like a clown.

She sat in front of the dressing mirror, wiping the makeup off her face with a wet towel.

The clean white towel turned pink and white.

Suddenly I heard a lot of noise outside.

“Where is the groom?”

“Why hasn’t he come yet?”

“The auspicious time has arrived. If the groom doesn’t come, he will miss the last good time.”

…

The guests in the courtyard were noisy and anxious like ants on a hot pan.

At this time, they didn’t know what was going to happen. They thought Han Guibing was just delayed and would be here soon.

Qi Sisi’s heart suddenly turned cold.

The memories of her previous life were so profound that she could not forget this unforgettable “wedding night” for many years.

Han Guibing disappeared for a whole day.

It wasn’t because he was hit by a car, nor because his parents died. It was simply because his childhood sweetheart Miao Cuicui was reborn, and he wanted to win her back.

The two were in love and entangled for a long time.

The relationship between three people is destined to not end well.

This marriage consumed Qi Sisi’s years of expectations, wiped out her last bit of hope for marriage, and finally she gave up.

After taking a look in the mirror and making sure that all her makeup was gone, Qi Sisi stood up with satisfaction.

The door creaked open.

The people outside were surprised that the bride would suddenly appear.

“Sisi, why did you come out?” Qi’s mother coaxed softly, trying to push Qi Sisi back into the room. “You have to wait for Guibing to come to pick you up before you can leave, go back quickly!”

“No need!”

Qi Sisi shook her head, hugged her mother’s arm with her backhand, and said slowly: “Han Guibing will not come today.”

The calm words were like pouring boiling water into a frying pan.

The people in the yard were instantly in an uproar.

“What are you talking about?”

“What happened?”

“Xiao Qi, do you know where Gui Bing is? Did you two have a conflict? Marriage is a big deal, you can’t be willful.” Han’s mother stepped forward to persuade.

In his words, he tried to pin all the problems on Qi Sisi.

Qi Sisi felt like laughing.

She is almost going to be a daughter-in-law, but he still calls her “Xiao Qi”.

In the previous life, this unfamiliar name continued for decades, but Han’s mother called Miao Cuicui “Cuicui”, how warm it was!

“We don’t have any conflict.”

Qi Sisi was terrifyingly calm at this moment. Her eyes inadvertently swept to the quietest corner. When she saw the tall figure sitting in the wheelchair, her eyes brightened.

The voices became firm.

“Han Guibing is now with his childhood sweetheart Miao Cuicui.”

“My marriage with him can’t go through.”

The courtyard was silent.

No one could believe what they heard.

“Cuicui?”

“Aunt Han, didn’t you say that they are adopted siblings?”

“How could he abandon the bride on the wedding night and hang out with his adopted sister?”

“Is she a adopted sister or a ‘adopted’ sister…”

Han’s mother’s face turned pale, and she quickly waved her hands to deny: “No, Cuicui is a good girl. Don’t listen to what Xiao Qi said. She, she just misunderstood.”

“Xiao Qi, I know that I often ask Gui Bing to take care of Cuicui. You may not be happy about it, but they are really adopted sisters.”

“Cuicui is just a country girl. She can’t pose any threat to you.”

After hearing her explanation, everyone turned their attention to Qi Sisi.

Could it be that Qi Sisi really misunderstood?

I can’t believe it, the apple of Deputy Commander Qi’s eye, the most beautiful girl in the compound, would actually be jealous of a country girl? !

“No misunderstanding!”

Qi Sisi laughed sneerfully.

“Every word I said is true.”

In her previous life, she listened to Han’s mother and believed the “brother and sister” story. Even if there were many things wrong with Han Guibing and Miao Cuicui’s behavior, she convinced herself. It was not until later that the two were caught committing adultery by Zhao Xingyu that she was hit hard.

“If you ask me, Cuicui is indeed getting quite close to Guibing. I’ve seen them hugging and holding hands on the street several times…”

“After all, they are not siblings, so we still have to avoid suspicion.”

Those who came today were all neighbors of the military family compound. Everyone had witnessed how Miao Cuicui and Han Guibing behaved these days.

The words of the crowd were like a slap in the face of Han’s mother, burning with pain.

What made her even more nervous was that Qi Sisi was so confident. Could it be that she really had some evidence against her?

Feeling guilty, Han’s mother restrained her attitude and said in a gentle voice, “Xiao Qi, I know you mind it. Let me talk to Gui Bing later and ask him to be more careful.”

“Today is your good day. Don’t disturb everyone’s interest with these irrelevant things, okay?”

Qi Sisi watched her perform a face-changing performance in front of her, but what flashed through her mind was the mean face of this dead old woman when her mother was seriously ill…

She said bitterly: “It’s not that I mind, but you all treat me like a fool!”

“Do you dare to swear? If Han Guibing has an affair with Miao Cuicui, the Han family will be extinct, and Han Guibing will be forced to retire and return to the village to farm. Do you dare?”

The oath was so vicious that Han’s mother turned pale.

“Xiao Qi, you are still young, there are some things you cannot say!”

Han’s mother’s husband died unexpectedly not long after she gave birth to a son. As a widow, she worked hard to raise her son and suffered a lot.

The thing she was most proud of in her life was that she had given birth to a promising son, and she cared most about his future. Qi Sisi’s words hit Han’s mother’s sore spots at once, making it impossible for her not to panic.

“Sisi, today is your wedding day, you really have to be careful with your words.” Qi’s mother whispered.

She didn’t know what had happened to make her daughter so angry.

Could it be that Han Guibing really had an affair with that godsister?

“Mom, don’t mention it. Even if I never get married in my life, I will never marry Han Guibing!” Qi Sisi had a look of disgust on her face.

The neighbors in the yard couldn’t bear to watch this scene.

Qi Sisi, who has always been gentle, has now changed her appearance, making people wonder if she really knows something…

“Xiao Qi, what do you mean?”

Han’s mother was worried.

Why is it that the cooked duck is about to fly away?
