Gu Feng could indeed stop Ye Ning, but he did not choose to do so. Because he sensed from the beginning that something was wrong with Ye Ning's outburst, so even if Wu Xiu'e urged him, he didn't do it.
Facing Ye Ning's gaze, he said, "If I stop you, will you stop?"
"No." Ye Ning's answer was quite straightforward, without any hesitation.
Gu Feng had already thought of it and would let her go.
Only when she was surrounded by villagers, he took the initiative to come to her.
"So what difference does it make if I stop you or not?"
Gu Feng felt helpless when he said this. Ye Ning is no longer the same as before, and no one can change what she has decided to do.
Ye Ning was a little relieved that he could think so.
"The reason why I didn't tell you about Xiaodong is because I felt that you have a special status and are not suitable to get involved."
"Is it not suitable or you don't want me to get involved?"
Gu Feng stared at her intently.
Ye Ning took a deep breath, "Okay, actually I don't want to. I can solve things that I don't want to trouble anyone."
"You came back this time just to deal with Ye Dong's matter?" Gu Feng is not a fool. There is no way he hasn't thought of it now.
Ye Ning: "Yes."
Gu Feng could clearly feel that Ye Ning had drawn a deep boundary between them, completely cutting him off from her world.
Ye Ning didn't want to speculate on his thoughts and said directly: "Mom wanted to give me the ancestral jade bracelet just now, but I refused."
Gu Feng knew very well what she meant, "Do you still want a divorce?"
Ye Ning has already figured it out. Since she can't make the decision on marriage, why bother herself.
"It doesn't matter whether I want it or not, what matters is what you do? I know that you cannot divorce in your current situation, so we will be a couple in name only."
After getting along with Gu Feng these days, apart from the lack of love between them, they actually get along well together peacefully.
Moreover, Gu Feng's performance in protecting her these days has indeed given her enough face as a wife outside.
Gu Feng's eyes were profound.
One second.
Two seconds.
Under Ye Ning's gaze, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."
"Then we will live in peace and take care of ourselves."
Ye Ning was relaxed at this moment. After talking like this, getting along with him would become even more relaxed and comfortable.
Gu Feng still just replied with the word "good".
There seemed to be some kind of silent agreement between the two, tacitly understood.
At home, Gu Jianguo and Wu Xiu'e were waiting impatiently.
Seeing that they had returned safe and sound, Wu Xiu'e immediately greeted them.
"Xiao Ning, are you okay? Are your Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao okay?"
Not only Wu Xiu'e was nervous, but even Gu Jianguo's cheeks were tense.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry. It's okay. The thing about Xiaodong is just a misunderstanding. We'll come back after we explain it clearly."
Ye Ning still respected her parents-in-law very much.
The couple looked at each other in confusion and looked at Gu Feng with questioning eyes.
Gu Feng roughly explained what happened to Ye Dong.
The two couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
"Why are those brothers and sisters so bad? They can even do such a thing. Xiao Ning, you are right to call the police. The government will definitely not unjustly accuse a good person and let a bad person go!"
Gu Jianguo said while giving Ye Ning an appreciative look.
Although Ye Ning said the matter very simply, Gu Feng knew that if it was really that easy to solve, the Ye family would not let her come back from thousands of miles away.
At night, Gu Feng and Ye Ning slept on the same bed.
There is a gap between the two of them, so no one can get in the way of the other.
After reaching a consensus, Ye Ning felt relaxed and at ease. Even now when he was lying next to Gu Feng, he didn't feel any embarrassment, nor did his heart waver at all, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
At dawn in the morning, Ye Ning and Gu Feng had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
Although he said there was no need to send it away, Gu Jianguo and Wu Xiu'e still followed him out.
Wu Xiu'e kept reminding her about insignificant things along the way.
Remember to eat on time.
When the weather gets cold, wear more clothes.
Come home and have a look when you're not busy.
Ye Ning followed Gu Feng silently, listening to the elders' nagging.
Looking at Wu Xiu'e's gray temples and her unwillingness to hold back her tears, she realized for the first time that her parents were not far away.
But it was destined that Gu Feng's family and country would be in dire straits.
Gu Jianguo was hunched over and walking very slowly.
He didn't talk non-stop like Wu Xiu'e. In the end, he just gave Gu Feng and Ye Ning a "be nice" look.
"Mom, it's cold, you should go back quickly."
Gu Feng's voice was deep and he tried his best to suppress his emotions.
"We'll watch you go." Wu Xiu'e insisted.
I don’t know how long it will be until I see my son and daughter-in-law next.
Ye Ning wanted to say something else but was stopped by Gu Feng's eyes.
Gu Feng picked up his luggage and took steps forward under the watchful eyes of his parents.
"Mom and Dad, please take care of yourself at home, and remember to call us if anything happens." Ye Ning gave one final warning, and then followed Gu Feng's footsteps.
Gu Jianguo watched their figures walking further and further away. Suddenly a breeze blew, and the man's eyes turned red.
Gu Feng did not look back and moved forward step by step with determination.
Ye Ning waved her hands frequently until her parents-in-law could no longer be seen.
He turned to look at Gu Feng.
Although Gu Feng didn't look back, she knew that he felt very uncomfortable.
"Come back often when you have time."
Gu Feng's hand held the duffel bag tightly. From the day he put on the military uniform, he knew that he would be indebted to his parents for the rest of his life.
Half a month later.
Ye Ning received the second letter written by Ye Dong to her.
The content of the letter was very simple, mainly to tell her that he and Kong Jia were in love, and that the two families had begun discussing the betrothal gift and marriage.
Ye Ning originally thought that even if things went well, their wedding would have to wait until the end of the year, but she didn't expect it to be much sooner than she imagined.
Thinking of Ye Dong's virtue, I decided that Kong Jia would definitely be eager to get married.
She wrote a reply to Ye Dong, saying that as long as both families had no objections, they could get married at any time, even if she didn't have time to go back.
A remittance order was sent along with the letter.
The name on the remittance slip is Guo Shan.
That day she went to the black market to find Guo Shan and negotiated a deal with Guo Shan.
Guo Shan made Li Biao deeply in debt and desperate in three days. If he succeeded, Ye Ning would pay him 2,000 yuan.
2,000 yuan is definitely a huge amount of money now, but to Ye Ning, being able to completely eradicate the Li Biao brothers and sisters is nothing.
It was not until this moment that Li Biao's blackmail was completely over.
