Chapter 441: Perfect Student of Male Virtue

Gu Chenghuai was naturally surprised and amazed.

Lin Zhao drove the car directly to the military region and parked it at her own door.

Cars were not common in this era; having a bicycle at home was considered good family conditions.

Seeing a car drive in, the people in the family courtyard all came out to watch the excitement.

Lin Zhao opened the car door, got out unhurriedly, and closed the door behind her.

"Comrade Lin?" The one speaking was Lin Zhao's neighbor, who was full of surprise, "You actually know how to drive? Where did this car come from?! You didn't buy it, did you?"

If it were anyone else, of course, they wouldn't think so, but the person driving was Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao who couldn't eat any bitterness. She bought a car... it shouldn't be strange, right?!

Others: "..."

Where is it not strange! This is a car!!

Only the chief had one. Lin Zhao, a woman, what right did she have?

"I didn't buy it," Lin Zhao said in a calm tone.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard her continue, "It was sent to me by my family."

"What?" someone impatient blurted out, "How much does a car cost? How could someone send you such a precious thing!"

The other party didn't believe it at all.

Lin Zhao didn't care and smiled, "No way, my family members are all very generous to me."

Mainly because they had money.

Gu Chenghuai heard from the guard that Zhaozhao was back and hurried home.

Seeing his wife's figure from afar, the man's deep, cold, dark eyes were stained with lingering smiles.

Even his footsteps became relaxed.

The guard looked at the smile flowing between the chief's eyebrows, was stunned for a moment, and then curled his lips.

The chief didn't say it, but he missed his wife very much in his heart.

When his wife came back, the chief's aura changed. His previous appearance was really like an ice cube, freezing people with one look.

"Zhaozhao," Gu Chenghuai called out, arriving at Lin Zhao's side.

Lin Zhao returned to the Sihe Academy first, took a bath, and changed into clean clothes.

She wore a bright yellow camisole inside, a light beige knit cardigan outside, a dark gray skirt that reached her ankles on the lower body, and white cloth shoes on her feet.

Her black curly hair was draped down, fixed with a hairband the same color as the camisole, and she wore a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, with matching earrings. Her skin was white, and her lips were painted with cherry-colored lipstick.

This outfit, at most twenty-five, couldn't be more.

"Gu Chenghuai, I'm back." Lin Zhao was very happy to see her husband, her eyes smiling into crescents. She pulled him toward the house, her tone full of lightness, and said with a hint of pride, "I drove back myself."

"I told you, Auntie wanted to send me a car. The car arrived, and it's parked at the door. We have a car at home now. Are you happy?"

Gu Chenghuai was a big chief in the military region and also had a car assigned to him, but this was a public car, and it wasn't as convenient as his own.

"Happy." Gu Chenghuai poured a glass of water for his wife, let Zhaozhao moisten her throat, pulled her to sit down, and his hand never let go.

He looked at Zhaozhao and asked, "You drove back alone?"

"No, I came back with Second Brother. He had something to do and left, and I missed you, so I ran back to the military region," Lin Zhao put down the water glass and moved her body toward Gu Chenghuai, hugging his waist.

Gu Chenghuai had been guarding an empty room for several months, and his air pressure had been lower day by day. At this time, listening to his wife's gentle words, he was instantly coaxed.

He hugged Lin Zhao, his arms slightly forceful, "I thought you couldn't remember me, you heartless thing."

"Who's heartless?" Lin Zhao said softly, "I didn't even rest and came to find you. You're the heartless one."

"Fine, fine, fine, you have a heart; it was my slip of the tongue," Gu Chenghuai stepped back, his words full of indulgence.

Lin Zhao let him go and changed the subject, "Do you have time later? Let's go pick up Yaobao from school together."

"I have time. Sure, let's go pick her up," Gu Chenghuai agreed immediately.

Lin Zhao's eyebrows were stained with joy.

She hadn't picked up Yaobao for a while. Today, using their own car to pick her up, her daughter would definitely be happy to see her.

"Zhaozhao, when you weren't here, Jin Saozi called home, saying she had something to find you for," Gu Chenghuai remembered something and told his wife.

"... Jin Saozi?" Lin Zhao muttered, "Did she say what it was?"

"No," Gu Chenghuai shook his head.

He didn't smile much to outsiders, didn't talk much, and rarely talked to female comrades. He was a perfect student of male virtue.

"Oh, I'll call her back. When I'm done, shall we set off?" Lin Zhao asked for his opinion.

"Sure."

While Zhaozhao was making the call, Gu Chenghuai found the guard, told him about picking up the child later, and said if anyone looked for him, let them come tomorrow.

The guard replied and left.

Lin Zhao dialed the number to contact Jin Saozi.

Jin Saozi answered Lin Zhao's call, and her familiar loud voice rang out, "Lin Meizi? Is it Lin Meizi?"

Lin Zhao's smile was warm, "It's me, Jin Saozi."

"Oh my, it really is you. I finally reached you!" Jin Saozi said enthusiastically.

"Mm, I was in Haicheng for this period and wasn't home. Jin Saozi, do you have something to find me for?" Lin Zhao explained simply and led the topic to the point.

Jin Saozi said, "Nothing urgent, just wanted to call and thank you specifically."

"Thank me? Thank me for what?!" Lin Zhao was very puzzled.

"Lixin, because of Lixin's matter," Jin Saozi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Zhihang brought Lixin to do business and brought back a lot of money. Thank you for letting Zhihang bring Lixin."

Only then did Lin Zhao know what had happened.

"This matter," she smiled, "I never interfere in the children's affairs, so no need to thank me. And this matter can't be said to be Zhihang bringing Lixin. They are business partners, and they work together because their temperaments are compatible. I heard Zhihang say that Lixin has great ability and a lively brain, and is a good partner. With Lixin's help, he can save a lot of trouble. The money Lixin brought back was earned by his own ability. Sister-in-law, don't think too much, and don't thank me."

Jin Saozi said, "I still have to thank you. If you hadn't told me and Old Jin about the prosthetic eye, Lixin wouldn't have walked out so quickly, and Old Jin and I wouldn't have known how to make up for our son. If Zhiyu and Zhihang hadn't brought Lixin to play, he wouldn't have become cheerful, let alone get into university. I have to thank you!"

"Lin Meizi, it's really good to have your family as neighbors."

Of course, she didn't just thank her with words; she also sent a thank-you gift, which included century-old ginseng she had exchanged with the money Lixin had filialized her with.

After graduating from university, Jin Lixin saw the vast world, and his resentment toward his parents slowly disappeared. He found that hating also required strength. He hated his parents, but in reality, he was making things difficult for himself.

He wanted to move toward a beautiful life and didn't want to care about the past anymore.

It was also after Jin Lixin came to the military region that his parents and younger siblings were all very, very good to him, and his heart softened.

"Jin Saozi is also not bad. I also quite like you as a neighbor," Lin Zhao responded with a smile.

Jin Saozi was full of smiles, with lines of time at the corners of her eyes, looking very kind.

"Lin Meizi, are you busy? If you aren't, I'll tell you about the excitement in the military region," she said enthusiastically.

"... Sure," Lin Zhao thought there was still time and replied.

Seeing that Lin Zhao couldn't finish talking for a long time, Gu Chenghuai moved a stool over, placed a soft cushion on it, and then heated a glass of milk and sent it over.

Lin Zhao smiled at the man and pinched his fingernails.

"And then?" she asked for the follow-up, giving Jin Saozi enough interest to gossip.

"What else could happen? Lu Baozhen didn't even graduate from high school, so Jiang Saozi certainly didn't agree to her pestering her son. Because of this, she even ran to the Lu family and had a fight with Su Meizi. The scene at that time was called lively. Many people went to watch the excitement. Guess who won in the end?" Jin Saozi didn't forget to let Lin Zhao participate.

"Both sides suffered, right?" Lin Zhao said uncertainly.

She felt that this kind of thing couldn't be talked about in terms of winning or losing.

"You guessed right, it really was both sides suffering!" Jin Saozi immediately felt that Lin Zhao was a sensible person who could guess everything right from far away, and her grasp of human hearts was simply absolute.

"Reasonably speaking, the discord between women shouldn't implicate the men, but this time it was different. Leaders came to inspect, and Jiang Saozi and Su Meizi made such an ugly scene that their own men were punished."

Lin Zhao: That's really not a coincidence.

Actually, Lu Yizhou's luck was quite good. Every time the army was cut, he wasn't cut. This luck... as expected of the original heroine's biological father, he still had some ability.

"There's another thing. I heard it, but this melon isn't guaranteed to be true," Jin Saozi's tone was mysterious.

Before Lin Zhao could ask, she said eagerly, "I heard that Baozhen's father, that is, Regiment Commander Lu, is going to transfer to civilian work."

Lin Zhao was very curious, "Where did you get the news?"

"I really don't know," Jin Saozi said, "Many people are spreading it, saying it has a nose and eyes. I feel this time it's true."

"..."

It had been true several times already, so the credibility really wasn't high.

"Just talk about it as gossip. Don't spread it anymore. In any case, whether he transfers or not has nothing to do with us," Lin Zhao reminded, also fearing that Jin Saozi would say too much and affect herself.

"I know, I'm just telling you," Jin Saozi understood very well what should be said and what shouldn't.

Besides.

She didn't have many people she got along with in the military region. Back then, regarding Lixin's matter, many people looked down on her and talked about her and her man behind their backs. She knew she deserved it, but being excluded like that, she couldn't get along as she once did.

A few days ago, Lixin rode a motorcycle back, and everyone knew her eldest son was successful. One after another, they came to the door, saying they wanted to introduce a partner to Lixin, looking as enthusiastic as if they had a good relationship.

She really couldn't stand it.

Back then, they said her son was blind, that he wouldn't even be able to find a job as a gatekeeper in the future, and that the wife he married would definitely be either lame or mute...

The gossip they said really didn't leave any face.

Jin Saozi didn't leave any face either and pushed them all away, using the reason that her son's affairs were decided by himself.

This was also her heartfelt words.

She felt sorry for her eldest son and only hoped that he would be satisfied for the rest of his life. Whether he married or not, and who he wanted to marry, was all decided by himself.

Those women who came to introduce partners were angry, thinking Jin Saozi was looking down on people because of a little wealth, and turned around to say a lot of gossip about her.

Jin Saozi didn't care.

If they didn't run in front of her to say it, she could pretend it didn't exist.

It was Jin Lixin who learned about this from his silly younger brother who was angry, and without thinking, he took the whole family to the city the next day, bought a thick gold bracelet for Jin Saozi, and bought a lot of things his younger brother and sister had wanted for a long time.

Jin Saozi went out wearing the gold bracelet, and the rumors about her disappeared immediately, replaced by the fact that she was truly blessed, and her son bought her a gold bracelet not long after graduating.

"... I was just talking about the affairs of the Jiang and Lu families, and I ran off-topic again. Jiang Saozi and Su Meizi fought, and Jiang Rong and Baozhen didn't break off contact. The two of them still go out to watch movies from time to time, looking like a young couple in love. Jiang Saozi was furious and sent Jiang Rong to her grandfather's place. I heard Jiang Rong's grandparents are in the capital. You haven't seen them, right?" Jin Saozi's words were fast and dense. If you weren't a marmot who lived in the melon field all year round, you wouldn't have this speed and efficiency.

Lin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, "Haven't seen them. The capital is so big, how could it be such a coincidence..."

Sometimes things are really just that coincidental.

That afternoon, Lin Zhao saw the little male lead at the gate of Yaobao's school.

Gu Chenghuai's eyes, which had been a scout, saw a yellow-haired boy swaying in front of his daughter, and his pupil color instantly turned cold.

He didn't scold anyone, but Lin Zhao felt that what he was scolding in his heart wasn't just dirty.

Gu Chenghuai took Lin Zhao across the road and walked toward Yaobao.

"Yaobao," a cold voice rang out.

Gu Zhi Yao looked over at the sound and saw Gu Chenghuai and Lin Zhao. Her beautiful face instantly smiled like a flower.

"Dad, Mom!"

Gu Chenghuai grabbed his daughter's arm, brought her to his side in a protective posture, and looked at the young man opposite with eyes full of oppression.

He sized him up several times from top to bottom, disliking him thoroughly from inside to outside. 【441-1

"Who is that person? Do you know him?!" he asked Yaobao.

Gu Chenghuai truly did not recognize Jiang Rong. Back then, there were many children in the military compound, and he had too many things to do; he was busy to death every day, and all his free time was given to his wife and children, so outsiders could not leave the slightest shadow in his heart.

"He is Jiang Rong, a friend of my brothers. We used to be in the same family compound. Has Dad forgotten?" Yaobao said very calmly.

Jiang Rong suddenly came to talk to her, but she didn't want to talk to him. Fortunately, Mom and Dad came.

At this moment, Jiang Rong walked over, with a delicate-looking young girl standing beside him.

The young girl looked at Lin Zhao's family with curiosity, her gaze clean and innocent, which was not off-putting.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Lin, I am Jiang Rong." Jiang Rong greeted Gu Chenghuai and Lin Zhao politely, with a smile on his face that was neither overly flattering nor distant. "I came to pick up my cousin to go home, and I didn't expect to see Yaobao. It's truly fate."

Lin Zhao: This fate is truly terrifying.

Gu Chenghuai: Who has fate with you? Stay away from my daughter, you stinky yellow-hair.

Yaobao stood beside her father without a word.

"Mm, you're busy, we'll head back first." Gu Chenghuai wrapped one arm around his wife's shoulder and held Yaobao with the other, and the family of three walked toward the sedan parked across the road.

"Mom, you said that car across the street is ours? Is this for real?" Yaobao's volume rose in excitement.

Hearing this, Jiang Rong's eyes flickered. Has the Gu family reached such a height that they can even afford a sedan?

Nowadays, sedans are very hard to buy; it's not just about having money, you also need overseas connections. The Gu family...

"Brother Rong, how do you know Gu Zhi Yao?"

Jiang Rong withdrew his gaze. "We used to live in the same family compound."

The young girl nodded in understanding, then sighed with emotion, "Gu Zhi Yao is truly perfect. She studies well, has a good personality, dances beautifully, and can even play the piano. I only met Gu Zhi Yao's mom and dad today; her dad is so dignified, and her mom is so beautiful, just like a big star from Hong Kong. I heard she also has three brothers who are especially good to her. This kind of life is truly enviable."

Jiang Rong, not knowing what his motive was, said: "Yaobao also has four uncles, and her grandparents and uncles are also very good to her."

The envious young girl looked at her cousin, her expression strange.

Brother Rong knows quite a lot, huh. It's a bit weird.

It couldn't be...
