Su Miao thought Gu Junming was so kind, how could he possibly ignore her? It must be these two who are causing trouble! That damned Sun Chan, and that mysterious Han Dong, she'd rather not even look at them, and went straight to Gu Junming. She hugged his shoulder and started crying nonstop.

"Brother! I'm having such a hard time right now, and they're treating me like this. You can't abandon me! I came out of the village, and if I go back like this, wouldn't I lose all my face? Who would marry me then? You have to help me think of a solution!"

Gu Junming gently pulled Su Miao away, looking at her sternly: "I've made myself very clear with you; I can only help you get a job in a cafeteria, but beyond that, I'm helpless."

Su Miao bit her lip and looked hatefully at Sun Chan behind her: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this. Are you even fit to be a military wife, so vile and selfish, always inciting my brother to treat me poorly!"

Sun Chan had been enduring for a while, but now that the insults reached her, she coldly sneered: "How am I selfish and vile? You've been bothering my boyfriend repeatedly, did I say anything? Wanting a good job, a place to stay, wanting him to take care of you, aren't you a bit too excessive? You say you're afraid of losing face if you go back to the village directly. Do you really think pestering Gu Junming every day helps your reputation? Or perhaps your true intention isn't what it appears; you just want to marry Gu Junming? Fine, as long as Gu Junming says a word, I'll make it happen for you, so you can stop insulting me behind my back!"

Even Gu Junming and Han Dong had never seen Sun Chan this fierce before, they were all stunned, and Su Miao was grinding her teeth in hatred; she couldn't possibly say she just wanted to marry Gu Junming!

Su Miao angrily said: "Sun Chan, you may lack education, but you can learn. But casually insulting people like this isn't right. My relationship with Gu Junming is pure, how could you..."

"Shut up! How much do you know? Just because you've read a few more books, does that give you the right to seduce my boyfriend?" Sun Chan interrupted her, looking toward Gu Junming: "You decide for yourself, whether you want her or listen to me. If you continue to have unclear ties with her, I'm breaking up with you!"

"You're too much, Sun Chan. Why do you force brother to treat me like this, we're from the same village?" She cried.

Gu Junming said: "Being from the same village doesn't mean I have to manage all your affairs." He held Sun Chan's hand. Sun Chan shook it off, but was quickly held by Gu again.

Gu Junming said: "When did I say anything to her, don't be angry."

Sun Chan looked toward Su Miao, her eyes were red, she couldn't speak.

Sun Chan said: "My boyfriend is mine, no one can take him away. If you dare to bother him again, I won't let it go. Anyway, I haven't studied much, but I'm ready to do a few things that are uncultured and without quality!"

Su Miao thought to herself, surely all this gentleness and kindness is just a facade? Yet Gu Junming saw her true colors and wasn't angry; instead, he smiled warmly at Sun Chan. Gu Junming thought to himself, my wife's angry words are quite charming too.

Su Miao's fingernails were about to break, she was simply infuriated!

Han Dong looked towards Su Miao: "Not leaving yet? Afraid they won't split? If you stay, you'll also lose face; why bother?"

Su Miao bit her lip until it bled, feeling utterly unwilling in her heart, yet still unwilling to leave just like that. Why should I, who came to the city, be bullied by everyone? Aunt, uncle, neighbor, Gu Junming's partner, all bully me?

She felt really unwilling, thinking to herself, I refuse to be bullied by you all my life, I'll put you all underfoot sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Su Miao said: "Alright, Brother Gu, I'll accept your kindness and go to the agency cafeteria. Alone in the city, there are always issues I can't resolve by myself. For Kangkang's sake, you can't ignore me either."

Sun Chan raised an eyebrow, in just that brief moment, this girl had changed several forms of address for Gu Junming.

Gu Junming suppressed his inner dislike: "I've always been busy; sometimes I can't help even if I want to. I'll call back later. You can start working tomorrow. This matter is also to repay you for saving Kangkang originally."

In other words, I won't help you in the future.

Su Miao just pretended not to understand, smiled and nodded at Gu Junming: "I know you're not a heartless person. I'll leave first," she turned around looking aggrieved.

Han Dong sneered: "That woman carries heavy thoughts, Brother, be cautious. Don't fall into a trap one day and get entangled for life."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm quite experienced with women. Oh well, forget it, let's not talk about this." Han Dong quickly retracted his words, thinking, why am I saying this in front of these two?

Gu Junming shot him a glare and said to Sun Chan: "I have another task tomorrow, I took the afternoon off, let's go eat."

Sun Chan, disrupted by Su Miao's arrival, was rather upset, but thinking Gu Junming was going to be busy again, not knowing when they'd meet next, how could they waste time, so she nodded in agreement.

Han Dong thought for a while and decided to stay as a third wheel, otherwise, how would she get back to the city herself; driving, she'd have to walk.

The three of them went to a nearby small restaurant, since they all had similar tastes, ordering wasn't a problem.

Gu Junming kept picking food for Sun Chan, afraid she wouldn't eat well, and Sun Chan also put all the meat in Gu Junming's bowl.

Han Dong ate boisterously, was their showing off affection necessary in front of me?

Gu Junming said: "How's your business?"

Sun Chan smiled: "Sister Guihua rented me a counter on the first floor; I'm selling fruits there. Don't worry, everything is smooth now."

"That's good, once I'm done, it'll be the New Year, on the thirtieth, I'll have New Year's Eve dinner at the Gu Family's, and on the first day, we'll go back together. Mom and Dad will be happy to see you." Gu Junming thought, Sun Chan has no family, her only foster mother and sister are like that, what's worth returning for? Better if I take her home for the New Year, let her experience the warmth of family.

Sun Chan's heart filled with warmth, nodding, she said: "Sure, I'll go back with you."

Han Dong said: "I'll go back with you too. I haven't been to the village yet. Didn't you say your parents' cooking is tasty?"

Gu Junming glanced at him: "You better forget it. When you get married, I'll bring you back."

"What does that have to do with marrying?"

"There are too many young women and wives in the village, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist making mistakes again. My dad isn't just mildly strict, you can try it if you don't believe. Hardly likely, but during the New Year, you might just get your leg broken." Gu Junming said calmly.
