Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Resentment
"Did you write these characters?" Yang Yunhai nodded with satisfaction as he unfolded the red couplets, "They’re really well done."
"As long as you like them, Brother Yang," Gu Lingling said with a big smile.
"Could I trouble you to write a few more couplets?" Yang Yunhai asked.
"Of course." Gu Lingling replied, "Do you have specific themes for the couplets?"
"Hmm," Yang Yunhai stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Are you coming tomorrow? I’ll have everything ready for you, and you can write them here."
"She must come tomorrow." Before Gu Lingling could answer, Liu Yating had already replied for her.
Today’s song hasn’t been decided yet. If Gu Lingling doesn’t come, what are they going to do? Plus, time is pressing, they need to decide quickly so they can rehearse properly.
Actually, Liu Yating wished they could finalize the song choice with Gu Lingling right now.
The key is, not only do they need to sing, but there’s also a simple dance routine, and they need to coordinate with her sister. Just thinking about it made Liu Yating feel helpless.
When Gu Lingling suggested a medley of children’s songs, she wanted to join them, but Gu Lingling declined.
After all, she wasn’t military personnel nor a family member.
Moreover, this kind of occasion wasn’t something Gu Lingling liked to flaunt about.
She had already garnered enough animosity within the troops, just the vegetables and meat that Yang Yunhai and Su Ziqiao didn’t distribute this year had made several families resentful of her.
If she continued to show off, though they wouldn’t dare confront her, who knows if they might sabotage her behind the scenes?
It’s not that she’s afraid of them; she just doesn’t like trouble.
No need for it.
Besides, she genuinely didn’t enjoy performing on stage and such.
Yang Yunhai nodded at Liu Yating’s words, "Come on, I’ll give you a ride home."
Gu Chunhai was invited to the reception room at the entrance, where there was heating, so he wouldn’t freeze outside.
Gu Lingling refused without even thinking, "Brother Yang, you go ahead. My dad is here to pick me up, so I’ll just go home with him."
Take Yang Yunhai’s car?
No, better not.
Gu Lingling felt like she was becoming more indebted to Yang Yunhai.
Originally, she wanted to repay his past life’s kindness, but she ended up owing him so much more without repaying a bit, like adding another life debt.
How could she possibly repay him?
"I happen to have something to do outside," Yang Yunhai explained lightly with a frown, "Besides, you can’t just let me save you for nothing."
To let her walk back through the icy and snowy ground, if she caught a cold again, wouldn’t all the effort be for nothing?
Gu Lingling was speechless.
She could only obediently follow behind Yang Yunhai as they walked out of the family quarters.
Not far away, Liu Xiaoqin saw the two come out, hurriedly hid behind the wall, and secretly watched.
Then she saw Gu Lingling getting into Yang Yunhai’s car, and it was even the front passenger seat.
Oh my God.
She knew that this cunning girl was not simple, from marinating meat for Yang Yunhai to making pickles, those were all tactics, means to win over men.
Spit...
Liu Xiaoqin spat disdainfully at the departing car.
But inside, she was furious.
If it weren’t for this little vixen, would their family be in such a state?
Jiang Jiuming still hadn’t returned home. Even when she sent Jiang Hong to call him, or when she went to the troops to find him, he refused.
The reason was simple, the troops have been too busy lately.
Liu Xiaoqin dared not make a fuss either; she knew Jiang Jiuming too well. If she made a scene, Jiang Jiuming wouldn’t divorce her for the sake of his career, but he would definitely send her back to their hometown with Jiang Hong.
That hometown... A place where Liu Xiaoqin, who was used to living in the military compound, felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
There was no chance she wanted to go back there.
