1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 560 Business trip
Ning Xiaoyu asked with a curious look, "How did you break up with such a good partner?"

Ji Kunlan gave a light 'humph': "Isn't she just too greedy, and too troublesome? She thinks she's the most unique one. Since Xiao Wanpeng likes her, he should tolerate everything about her. As a result, the marriage was already arranged, and relatives and friends were notified, but then her family caused trouble."

They insisted that the Xiao family find her brother a job, and not just a temporary one, but a permanent one. Everyone could see that the Zhao family was trying to take advantage of my sister-in-law's mother's job. Things got very ugly. Surprisingly, Xiao Wanpeng didn't compromise this time; instead, he directly broke up with her.

Ning Xiaoyu asked with a curious look, "Would the Zhao family agree to that?"

She was a little worried about Duan Ruirui. If he wasn't faithful in relationships, she was afraid he wouldn't have a good life in the future.

Ji Kunlan patted her on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about? Don't misunderstand, Xiao Wanpeng is not a bad person. The reason he acted quickly and decisively was because Zhao Xiaoan was too dramatic and completely ruined that relationship."

What finally made Xiao Wanpeng decide to break up with her was Zhao Xiaoan's dishonesty. She stole Xiao's sister-in-law's watch and refused to admit it. Xiao Wanpeng eventually discovered she had sold the watch on the black market, which completely enraged him. He didn't want to marry such a woman who would cause so much trouble in the family.

After hearing this, Chu Xue remarked, "This person's taste isn't very good either."

Ji Kunlan said, "It's just that Zhao Xiaoan is too good at pretending. If it weren't for her good-for-nothing brother holding her back, Zhao Xiaoan would have succeeded. Fortunately, she slipped up at the last minute."

Chu Xue looked at Ji Kunlan: "Could there be more to this than meets the eye?"

Ji Kunlan looked out the window and said, "The reason the two of them got together is because when Xiao Wanpeng was rescuing someone in the park, he accidentally left his bag on the shore. Originally, a woman from out of town found the bag first, but because she had to catch her train, Zhao Xiaoan cleverly and confidently said that she knew Xiao Wanpeng and that she would wait for someone to come and get it."

There were still quite a few older women on the shore at the time. The woman saw that Zhao Xiaoan's story sounded very convincing, and thinking that so many people were watching, she felt reassured and left.

Because of this incident, Zhao Xiaoan and Xiao Chengpeng became entangled. Afterwards, Zhao Xiaoan went to great lengths, even using my nephew, to finally date Xiao Chengpeng. Ning Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes: "How did you use him?"

Ji Kunlan's face fell at this point: "She deliberately took my little nephew out when no one was looking. When the family was frantically searching for him, she appeared just in time with the child. She said that she saw my little nephew with a stranger and felt something was wrong, so she forcibly brought the child back."

Because of this, the Xiao family treated her incredibly well, only to later discover that she had orchestrated the whole thing herself. Can you believe it?

Duan Ruirui ran up to me a moment later, her face flushed, and said, "He said he'd like to take me to the Workers' Cultural Palace to see a movie tomorrow night."

After a while of cheering, everyone dispersed.

The next day, to Chu Xue's surprise, Fu Yancheng appeared at the station: "What brings you here?"

Fu Yancheng handed over a small handbag: "It'll be cold there next month. I've prepared a hat, scarf, gloves, and some food for you to take on the road."

Because they arrived right on time, they didn't have much time to say goodbye.

Chu Xue didn't stand on ceremony. She took the bag and got into the car amidst the urging: "I'm leaving. You should go back now. I'll contact your comrade if anything happens. Don't worry."

Fu Yancheng watched the train leave the station and disappear completely from sight before turning away and leaving the station.
