Chapter 46: Buy Food For The Little Foodie
That was enough to pull back Gu Yan’s wandering thoughts.
Was Lu Ye looking for her?
When they were on the bus, Lu Ye had asked her which department she was in, and according to Lu Ye’s personality in the previous life, he was very careless.
But Gu Yan quickly calmed herself down.
Right now, she had only met with Lu Ye twice.
Lu Ye probably hadn’t fallen for her yet, right?
No…suddenly, Gu Ye remembered the thing that Zhang Cuihua talked about.
Gu Yan was being careful. She first thanked the comrade, then asked, “how many people are looking for me?”
“Two people, a man and a woman, they’re both pretty old, should be your parents. Oh right, the man had a full beard.”
Gu Yan’s heart sank.
The man with the full beard was definitely Ironsmith Wang!
As for the woman, could it be Zhang Lan?
In her previous life, when she escaped from Ironsmith Wang’s home with great difficulty and barely eked out a living in the city, Ironsmith Wang still found her.
At that time, he beat Gu Yan up, and Zhang Lan was standing next to them, held her arms to her chest and sneered.
She persuaded Ironsmith Wang with false sincerity to stop beating Gu Yan, but she never helped.
Meanwhile, she said, Little Yan, you’re in the wrong here, when you marry a man you have to stay with him the rest of your life no matter what he is, yet you dared to run away, how shameful.
If it weren’t because Gu Yan already received the university administration offer, she’d probably be taken back by those two.
Gu Yan couldn’t help but grit her teeth together whenever she thought about the way Zhang Lan acted in her previous life. But she still kept her cool and said, “thank you and sorry for any inconvenience. I have a stomach ache and need to use the restroom, I’ll be there later.”
“Okay, they’re at the lobby in the guest entrance.”
The female comrade left after she delivered the message.
Gu Yan went silent.
Was she going to repeat the same tragedy that happened in her previous life?
Hell no!
This life was much different from her previous life. She, Gu Yan, never even married Ironsmith Wang, besides, right now she was currently enrolled in the military. Military marriages were protected, unlike the kind of arranged marriage that Zhang Lan promised with just a few words.
Besides, this is the army. Even if Zhang Lan and Ironsmith Wang don’t see her, they wouldn’t dare to make a scene no matter how upset they get.
Gu Yan quickly got her things ready at the thought of that. She went around the guest lobby and stepped out.
She needed to buy food for her little jade pendant.
But when she remembered it needed to eat things like ginseng and Reishi mushroom, the amount of money really hurt her. She needed to find ways to make money.
It wasn’t easy to support a family.
Inside the guest lobby, there were rows and rows of wooden benches and wooden tables. Zhang Lan and Ironsmith Wang were sitting there, a little ill at ease.
Ironsmith Wang was an uncouth fellow who had never really been to a large city before, he was curious about everything because he didn’t know anything.
Zhang Lan was slightly better than him, she used to work as a nanny in the city, after all. But there were soldiers wearing uniforms everywhere in the military, some of them were even carrying firearms. They were already a little afraid, now that they have waited for a while, Zhang Lan was feeling more and more anxious.
Yet she was a little bit hateful.
It was all because of this damn Gu Yan, or else Moli could’ve become a soldier!
When she sees this damn girl later, she’d haul her ass back home!
As Zhang Lan was thinking, Gu Yan already reached the main entrance of the military.
She remembered Shen Jiayi had mentioned Chen Pharmacy before that sold all kinds of herbal medicines, so she decided to go there and take a look.
“Comrade Gu Yan, what a lovely coincidence.”
Gu Yan heard that familiar voice and became a little stunned. She slowly turned around and saw the man wearing a military uniform.
The sunlight was too glaring so she had to squint her eyes.
Today, Lu Ye was wearing his military uniform that showed off his perfectly proportioned body, making him look even more handsome.
There was still a scrape on his forehead that hadn’t completely healed yet. The corners of his lips curled up in a cynical way, but there was a strong feeling of…unpleasantness.
