At this moment, she saw Xiao Wu jump down from the car; he had just returned. Listening to the singing not far away, he was eager to join in the fun.

Bai Fanglan hurried over, looking around: "Did you go with Gu Junming? Where is he?"

Xiao Wu quickly smiled and said, "Oh, it's Doctor Bai, our boss went for the equipment."

"Did only you two go? Was it very hard? There was no place to eat."

"Not hard at all! Someone brought us food."

Bai Fanglan's heart raced, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart: "Who brought the food? Was it a woman?"

"It was Sun Chan, that girl from last time. She's met our boss several times now, cooks really well, but uh, Doctor Bai, where are you going..." Xiao Wu regretted seeing her expression, wondering if she was angry.

Bai Fanglan was beyond angry now! Her face contorted, looking especially terrifying.

Her heart felt like it was on fire! This country bumpkin always opposes me!

Making me lose face several times wasn't enough; now she wants to snatch Gu Junming away from me!

This bitch had set her sights on Gu Junming from the first time she hurt her foot! People like Sun Chan, from a lower class, would obviously use every opportunity to climb up the ladder, even clinging to him when he's out on missions, utterly cheap and disgusting!

Gu Junming, you'd rather choose a poor lowly woman over me, what will others think of me if they find out I've lost to her! She clenched her fists, gave a vengeful glance in the direction of the camp area, and turned to leave.

The driver looked at her, knowing she was in a bad mood, so he said nothing.

Bai Fanglan suddenly wiped her eyes in anger; at first, she felt lost about Gu Junming, but now it was complete hatred, not to mention Sun Chan.

After returning home, before Bai Chuan even asked, he saw Yang Bailan with swollen eyes, gritting her teeth. The shoes on her feet creaked on the floor.

Bai Chuan frowned and said, "Lanlan, you and Gu Junming..."

"Don't mention his name in front of me again!" she shouted: "I hate him, I hate him to death!"

Bai Chuan was quite calm: "What's so great about him that makes you like this?"

"Don't say anymore, Grandpa." Bai Fanglan said with a gloomy face: "I was stupid before, but no more in the future."

Bai Chuan patted his granddaughter's shoulder: "Then find some time to meet with Political Commissioner Wang's son. You're twenty-five, not young anymore. It'll be hard to find someone after a few more years."

"You decide, Grandpa, I have no objection." Bai Fanglan said and then ran upstairs.

Bai Chuan picked up the newspaper, finally, this granddaughter has come to her senses. Gu Junming is just a small Deputy Battalion Commander, no family backing him, sooner or later he'll fare badly over there. I can casually find a flaw to get him demobilized, let's see how he can still be arrogant then?

Bai Fanglan went upstairs and collapsed onto her bed. Once she closed her eyes, she remembered slapping herself, humiliated in front of everyone by a small thug. She couldn't sleep at all, still wanting to be with Gu Junming? Sheer dreamland! Tossing and turning in bed for most of the night, she suddenly sat up.

She suddenly recalled that Sun Chan's mother and sister had once caused a scene at the hospital; it's said that her sister is still in vocational school, unwilling to get married in the countryside, found a good job in X City, now even seducing Gu Junming, dreaming all good things will fall into her lap? Dream on!

Having thought of the plan, Bai Fanglan went back to sleep.

As for Gu Junming, after Xiao Wu mentioned she had come to find him, he said nothing. It was a thorough refusal; she wouldn't chase after him anymore. This was good for everyone.

Before resting, he wrote a very simple letter sent to Sun Chan, a confession letter, hoping Sun Chan would improve together with him and live together.

He read it several times and then, assured, put it into an envelope. He was someone used to proactively pursuing things, and of course, his wife was something he needed to settle himself.

Bai Fanglan didn't sleep all night, and the next day she went to find Aunt Wang, but saw that Li Zhaodi from last time was pulling Aunt Wang, asking to borrow money. The two were tussling in the corridor.

"Aunt, please have pity on me! I only make a few dozen bucks a month now, and my family still wants half from me. I'm soon to be paid; I'll return it all to you then."

Aunt Wang looked helplessly at her niece: "It's not that I don't want to lend to you, we have several kids to feed at home, and your uncle's health isn't good. There's really no money left. I'm telling you, cut down on buying those clothes and shoes! You want to look as pretty as people in the city, but how can you afford it with that little money? For a few days, just eat at the cafeteria with me, I'll buy you food. Don't think about the money anymore. I don't have money to lend you, need to go, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria at noon."

Aunt Wang was also at a loss with this niece. Not competent, yet terribly vain, hasn't been here long and already buying lipsticks and hair clips like city folks, how can she afford it? Borrowed several times but never gave it back, she didn't dare lend anymore.

Watching Aunt Wang's back, Li Zhaodi gritted her teeth, it's just a few bucks, really? But besides her in the city, there's no one else to rely on, she still had to rely on her for lunch, so she could only endure.

Then someone behind her said, "Li Zhaodi, do you want money?"

Li Zhaodi turned around and saw the doctor from last time, hurriedly smiled flatteringly to greet, "Doctor Bai!"

Bai Fanglan went with her to a corner, straightforwardly handed her ten bucks, asking her to help find out about Sun Chan's matters.

"I want to know which school her sister attends."

Li Zhaodi didn't know what Doctor Bai was up to, but she herself hated Sun Chan thoroughly. If not for her, she'd still be working as a caregiver here, earning more, having Aunt's help, it wouldn't be so tiring, she messed everything up, and of course, she agreed fully.

Aunt Wang didn't know her niece had such intentions, during lunch casually mentioned and it all came out.

Sun Chan was at the sanatorium, completely unaware of their plot. Since interacting with Gu Junming, she also set a new life goal. After inquiries, she wanted to apply to the Open University's Primary Education program.

Because this didn't require prior education qualifications, only needed to pass the exams. And this program was quite suitable for Sun Chan.

Yang Liu, knowing Sun Chan's plan, was very supportive: "Sun Chan! You really have ambition, my family has junior high school textbooks, I'll have them sent to me later. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."

"Thank you, Yang Liu," Sun Chan said gratefully.

"Oh, it's nothing," she patted her chest and laughed: "We're friends, we should help each other."
