Lu Xingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Lanying when he heard Commissar Wang’s question. His seemingly casual glance made Chen Lanying panic.
She did not know why, but when she met Lu Xingzhi’s indifferent glance, Chen Lanying still had a feeling in her heart. She knew that he had to explain clearly and leave Jiang Yao out of the equation. Otherwise, Lu Xingzhi would have countless methods to deal with her after she left the barracks.
Chen Lanying was not stupid. She knew that she could not tell others that it was because she had chosen Lu Weihua. However, when she saw Lu Xingzhi’s expression, it was clear that he would not allow her to mention anything to do with Jiang Yao.
After she deliberated for a few seconds, Chen Lanying said, “The reason for the annulment is we were not suitable for each other. It was a peaceful negotiation. It had nothing to do with anyone.”
After all, Chen Lanying had a formal high school education, so she knew how to speak to other people. She had removed all of their connections to the reason with only one sentence of explanation.
Everyone in the room nodded when they heard that. They only wanted to clarify the relationship between Lu Xingzhi and Chen Lanying. They did not ask why Chen Lanying would leave her child at the barracks entrance.
The child was Chen Lanying’s, and it had nothing to do with Lu Xingzhi. No matter where she would leave her son, it would never have anything to do with Lu Xingzhi.
After that, Commissar Wang ordered his men to escort Chen Lanying out of the premises. It was better for all parties involved to clarify the situation than send someone to Lu Xingzhi’s hometown to investigate the matter.
After Chen Lanying left, Commissar Wang patted Lu Xingzhi’s shoulder and said, “Call your family and ask your wife to come back for the New Year. You’re already married; it’d be a pity for you to spend the New Year alone.”
“We won’t prepare for your seat at the table this year.” Colonel Lin nodded and said, “Your wife is a reasonable woman. Explain that the matter is clarified, and invite her back here properly.”
“It’s hard to say if she would return here.” Lu Xingzhi stood there with his hands in his pockets; he raised his eyebrows. “You guys may know the truth, but what about those people who discussed this in private? Will they know about it? If my wife were to return here, would those people point at her and call her a vixen? If she has to leave in anger another time, then it is better if she stayed away. I have only one wife; I can’t bear to see her suffer so needlessly. What if she stays angry and wants to divorce me? Will the army compensate me with a wife?”
Colonel Lin and Commissar Wang looked at each other and saw the pained expression on the other’s face.
“I’ll inform them in the afternoon. All the military families will go to the auditorium for ideological and political lessons in the evening. I’ll guide them personally!” After Commissar Wang finished speaking, he asked again, “I’ll clarify that matter with everyone in the evening. What do you think?”
“Why are you asking me?” Lu Xingzhi sneered, “It’s clarified this time. What if someone writes another report that I have an illegitimate son? Then the army will call up my wife and me to investigate the matter again.”
After he said that, Lu Xingzhi retracted his long legs. He loosened his tensed legs slightly—that one movement made him look like a thug. Everyone in the room can see his dissatisfaction.
