◎ Suspecting that she has some ulterior motive ◎
Dong Jiaojiao folded the divorce certificate and the IOU carefully and put them in her pocket, then moved them into the space and prepared to turn around and leave.
He Chengjun suddenly stopped her: “Dong Jiaojiao, you have to clean up the house in the family compound as soon as possible. After all, you are no longer a military wife.”
“I know.” Dong Jiaojiao replied angrily.
“Then when do you plan to go back to your hometown? After all, we were married once. I will take you to the train station.”
“He Chengjun, since you are divorced, let’s get along with each other as strangers. After paying off the money, we will never have contact with each other until we die. My affairs have nothing to do with you! Of course, your affairs have nothing to do with me. From now on, it’s up to you whether you want to be with Lu Yao, Huang Yao or Hong Yao!”
“Dong Jiaojiao, how many times do you have to tell me before you believe it? Lu Yao is innocent…”
“That’s enough! I don’t want to hear about you anymore, whatever!”
Dong Jiaojiao said and left without looking back.
Now that she and He Chengjun have divorced, Lu Yao has no reason to harm her again, Dong Jiaojiao thought to herself, at least she doesn’t have to worry about being abducted and trafficked by Lu Yao again.
As soon as she returned to the family compound, Dong Jiaojiao saw her sisters-in-law chatting in the cool air downstairs, and immediately ran towards them like moths to a flame.
Wang Cuihua saw her first and immediately grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds for her and said enthusiastically: “Jiaojiao, you eat it. The pumpkin seeds you dried yourself still have the sweetness of pumpkin.”
As the relationship between the two parties grew closer, Wang Cuihua now Dong Jiaojiao is no longer called “Xiao Dong”, but “Jiaojiao”.
Although Dong Jiaojiao didn’t like pumpkin seeds, she still took them and took out the freshly baked divorce certificate from her pocket to show her.
“Sister-in-law, look, I just went through the divorce procedures with He Chengjun. From now on, I will be a free woman, and I will no longer have to suffer from cowardice.”
“What did you say!” Liu Ping stood up immediately and grabbed Wang Cuihua. Divorce certificate in hand.
“Yeah, it’s true! You’re really divorced!” Liu Ping looked at the fresh and warm divorce certificate with some emotion.
This is the first couple in their Tube Building to divorce, which is definitely big news.
Some military wives were illiterate, so they had to take a look at it and then sigh and sigh.
“Jiaojiao, why are you so stupid? Although He Chengjun is not in good health, my man said that he will be promoted to the main camp soon. If you divorce now and find another in the future, it will be a second marriage.”
“If you ask me, it doesn’t matter . It’s a pity that Xiao Dong is good-looking. Even if she gets married for the second time, she is still a young lady, no different from her first marriage. ”
“That’s right, what about the main camp? She’s not a commander. It’s not hard to find a three-legged husband. There are not many men with two legs.”
“Yes, we have a lot of young men next door.”
“Xiao Dong, how about I be a matchmaker for you? They are from our military region. He is also a battalion commander, his position is not lower than that of He Chengjun, but he has two children. ”
“Pull him down. I know the man you are talking about. He is getting old soon and has no way to rise, so he can only be discharged and demobilized. When the time comes, will Xiao Dong go back to his hometown to farm with him?”
“Xiao Dong is from the countryside. What’s wrong with farming? Besides, when people return from the army, they may not farm. They may be able to arrange work.”
“No, no, Xiao Dong is only 18 years old, what does it look like to be a stepmother?”
“You are awesome, then you find Xiao Dong a man with good conditions and no children, who is not married?”
“Hey, are you jealous of Xiaodong, so you deliberately suppressed me?”
“Zhang, please keep your mouth clean. Why do you say I’m jealous? I think you’re jealous. I heard it yesterday. You said something bad about Xiao Dong!”
“Wang, what do you want to say? Let’s talk about it…”
Dong Jiaojiao stopped participating in the rest of the matter, collected the divorce certificate, and quietly withdrew from the crowd and then returned to the house humming a cheerful tune.
“People are so, so happy today~”
Tonight, another piece of news was added to the family talks. Everyone was talking about the divorce between Dong Jiaojiao and He Chengjun.
Naturally, Lu Jinzhou also received the news.
He originally planned to keep a distance from Dong Jiaojiao and calm down for a few days, but he didn’t expect that they would get divorced so quickly because they were so efficient.
This also shows that He Chengjun did not resist, otherwise even with his help, it would not have been so fast.
Lu Jinzhou couldn’t help but feel like it was worthless for Dong Jiaojiao, but more than anything, he was ecstatic, his heart beating violently, and joy flowing throughout his body along with his blood.
So, Lu Jinzhou endured it again and again, but finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and ran out of the dormitory in the middle of the night.
It was already close to midnight. Everyone goes to bed early these days, and most people usually turn off the lights and go to bed at nine o’clock.
Lu Jinzhou came to the downstairs of No. 3 tube in the family compound and saw that the windows somewhere on the fifth floor were dark.
Despite this, he still felt something warm and swollen in his heart.
The cool night wind blew on his face, lifting the broken hair on Lu Jinzhou’s forehead. He raised his head and stared quietly, his eyes filled with fine starlight.
At this moment, he had an inexplicable feeling of peace and tranquility. It seemed good to just look at each other from a distance.
Dong Jiaojiao was so happy at night that she hid in the space and secretly ate a whole watermelon, causing her to wake up from peeing at night.
Using a flashlight on her way to the toilet at the end of the corridor, Dong Jiaojiao vowed to buy a house with a bathroom in the future.
Everything was normal at first, but when Dong Jiaojiao came out to wash her hands after going to the toilet, she suddenly saw a person standing next to the sink, which made Dong Jiaojiao tremble.
The figure looked familiar, but when she thought about it, she thought it was impossible. How could that person appear here so late?
Dong Jiaojiao held her breath and shone the flashlight on the man’s face.
It’s really Lu Jinzhou!
Dong Jiaojiao suddenly became furious: “Lu Jinzhou, what are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night? If you haven’t said anything yet, do you know that standing here will scare people to death!”
“I’m sorry, I just wanted to speak out, and you found me.”
Lu Jinzhou’s voice sounded particularly low in the dark night, and his eyes were particularly bright, as if there was a fire inside.
Seeing this, Dong Jiaojiao was startled, then she turned off the flashlight, curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: “Who are you showing off your coolness to in the middle of the night!”
Then while washing her hands, she scolded him: “Lu Jinzhou, are you mentally ill? If you’re sick, go see a doctor immediately. Coming out without even looking at what time it is. Don’t tell me that you came here to go to the toilet, so you are really interested in running so far.”
Lu Jinzhou was not only surprised when he heard Dong Jiaojiao’s scolding. Not angry, but a little happy. He felt like they were just like… a couple, the wife is making trouble and the husband is laughing.
He saw Dong Jiaojiao coming out of the house downstairs. He probably guessed what she was going to do, and then ran upstairs accidentally.
There must be a reason for him to appear here out of nowhere.
So, when Dong Jiaojiao asked him what he was doing, Lu Jinzhou blurted out: “Dong Jiaojiao, regarding your previous explanation, I think it is still necessary to verify it. After all, it is your one-sided statement, and the suspicion cannot be completely ruled out.”
When Dong Jiaojiao heard this, her momentum immediately faltered, and she did not pay attention to the other party. It is in the middle of the night. Is it reasonable to come over?
She even suspected that the other party appeared here in the middle of the night just to monitor her.
She also didn’t think about it. Even if such a big leader wanted to monitor her, it would be impossible for him to come in person but Dong Jiaojiao is a little panicked now and may not be able to think so much.
“Director Lu, you are a big leader and you must keep your word. You said you believed me! Moreover, I have been divorced today and will leave here soon. I swear, I am definitely not a spy!”
She was afraid of someone eavesdropping so Dong Jiaojiao approached the other party and spoke very quietly, only the two of them could hear.
Lu Jinzhou immediately felt a pleasant smell coming towards him, and unconsciously took two steps back, trying to distance himself from the other party.
Otherwise, he is afraid that he will act impulsively.
Dong Jiaojiao thought that Lu Jinzhou’s retreat was to show his attitude and that he still suspected that she was a spy, so she immediately took two steps forward and stood closer.
“Director Lu, you are busy with things, so don’t stare at me, a commoner. My ancestors for eight generations were poor peasants. Their roots are upright and their seedlings are prosperous. This is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth!”
Dong Jiaojiao’s hot breath when she spoke almost hit Lu Jinzhou. He subconsciously wanted to step back, but Dong Jiaojiao grabbed his arm directly.
It was summer, so they were all wearing short-sleeved clothes. This was the first skin-to-skin contact between the two of them, and it was Dong Jiaojiao who took the initiative.
Dong Jiaojiao was also anxious. Seeing that she was getting divorced, she would soon be able to live a safe and smooth life, and she must not be ruined by Lu Jinzhou at this time.
So, she grabbed Lu Jinzhou and begged for mercy again: “Director Lu, you see that I’m already so pitiful, so please show mercy and let me go. I’m really a good person!”
Lu Jinzhou’s muscles tensed up. He felt the temperature on his arms was hot and his heart was beating fast. He could only suppress it with all his strength, for fear that the other party would notice something strange.
The little hand that grabbed him was obviously weak and boneless, and he could break free with just a slight twist, but his whole body was so stiff that he couldn’t move.
Maybe, there was still a bit of reluctance…
In the end, relying on his strong self-control, Lu Jinzhou said with difficulty: “Tomorrow I will go to the black market with you to have a look. If it is indeed what you said, then forget about it.”
Dong Jiaojiao made the proposal herself during the day, and she had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, Lu Jinzhou stayed up most of the night and came all the way to talk about this matter, so he would definitely not expose it easily.
Dong Jiaojiao felt like she shot herself in the foot. However, she could only bite the bullet and accept it.
Otherwise, the other party will definitely suspect that she has some ulterior secret, although she does.
Dong Jiaojiao regretted extremely, why she had to go out to the toilet in the middle of the night, why did she refuse to put a chamber pot in the house because it smelled…
Lu Jinzhou himself is engaged in scientific research, if he discovered the secret of space, would he catch her, put her in a room and slice her himself for study?
Dong Jiaojiao lay in bed and thought about it all night, and also sorted out the plot of the original book from beginning to end, but the original book introduced too little about Lu Jinzhou.
There are only a few sentences in total, and they are all about his appreciation for the male protagonist He Chengjun. There is nothing about his own character, character, or whether he will slice people up.
Dong Jiaojiao didn’t sleep all night, and Lu Jinzhou wasn’t doing much better.
Originally, he was quite happy because he could see Dong Jiaojiao again tomorrow.
But before they left, the two agreed on a meeting place. Lu Jinzhou said he would pick her up at the door of the family compound, but Dong Jiaojiao refused.
Finally, they changed to a three-way intersection one kilometer away, saying it was to avoid suspicion!
Lu Jinzhou felt like waking up from a dream, like being struck by lightning!
At this moment, he realized again that even if Dong Jiaojiao had divorced, it would not be possible between them because he was a full ten years older than the other person.
Moreover, Lu Jinzhou could see that Dong Jiaojiao had no other thoughts about him and didn’t even want to have contact with him.
It’s because he is shameless and eager to see the other person.
Lu Jinzhou felt inferior for the first time. He had never felt inferior before when something like that happened to him. Now he feels inferior just because of someone’s words to avoid suspicion.
After all, he is greedy and wants too much…
