On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 99 Let's part ways amicably!

"Tsinghua and Peking University? Is this the Tsinghua and Peking University I'm thinking of?"

Gu Che nodded. "My grades have been good enough for Tsinghua and Peking Universities recently, and they've promised to waive my tuition and fees if I get in."

Wen Ci sincerely gave Gu Che a thumbs up.

In the 1980s, only a minority of people were admitted to high school, not to mention that most people would choose to study at a teacher's college for financial reasons, since Tsinghua and Peking University were the top universities.

Those who can get into Tsinghua or Peking University are one in ten thousand.

"So, was it an arranged marriage?"

Wen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly: "I suppose so."

She was married off to Huo Jingyuan in place of him, which could be considered a marriage of convenience.

A strange emotion flashed in Gu Che's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever thought about divorce? These days, arranged marriages can be dissolved as long as you go to the neighborhood office to declare it."

Starting this year, the neighborhood offices have been promoting the idea that arranged marriages should be avoided, as arranged marriages between strangers will only harm the couple in the future.

Wen Ci shook her head: "I don't plan on it for now."

Suddenly, a little boy with a newspaper in his hand walked to the table: "Brother Gu, someone just said they saw your girlfriend come back from the train station."

Gu Che often boasted to others about having a girlfriend who lived in a military compound.

Wen Ci ignored the little boy's words, finished slurping up the rest of her noodles, put two cents on the table, and said with a smile, "I have to go now."

"I'll take this meal."

"no thanks."

As she spoke, Wen Ci waved to an old man pulling a rickshaw by the roadside. She didn't know the way to the city hospital and needed the old man to show her the way.

Gu Che stared at Wen Ci's departing figure, his eyes deep, his lips twitching slightly as he picked up the money left on the table and clutched it tightly in his hand.

"Brother Gu, where's the money you promised?"

Gu Che's thoughts returned, and he looked down at the little boy selling newspapers. He had told the newspaper-selling children earlier that whoever found Jiang Ye's whereabouts would receive a dollar as a reward.

He put Wen Ci's money into his pocket.

"I didn't bring enough money today, can I give it to you another day?"

"Row."

Gu Che quickly finished the remaining noodles and jogged back to the entrance of the military compound to squat down. He wanted to see Jiang Ye and find out why she had left without saying goodbye.
-
At the train station, Jiang Ye got off the train, travel-worn and tired. She took a hard seat all the way back to Beijing. She stretched and looked at the bustling streets of the capital, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

She's finally back!
If it weren't for the sudden urge to visit Wen Ci on the day of the military arts tour, I wouldn't have known that they had left the Northwest.

She went back to her house near the school first.

Jiang Ye did not attend a military-affiliated school. The Fourth Middle School was quite far from the Northwest Military Region, so Jiang's mother specially bought a house near the school.

She usually stays in that house when she goes to and from school.

Feeling refreshed after her shower, she returned to the military compound. Just as she reached the gate, Gu Che stopped her, his eyes bloodshot, and asked, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Jiang Ye was startled.

But looking at Gu Che's repulsive face, his expression immediately darkened, and he curled his lips into a smirk: "We're all adults, don't we understand what this means?"

"what do you mean?"

"It means, goodbye."

Upon hearing this, Gu Che's hand, which was gripping Jiang Ye's shoulder, froze. Tears welled up in his bloodshot eyes, and he choked back a sob, asking in confusion, "Why?"

"Why do you have so many questions?"

Thinking of Gu Che's actions in her past life, she wished she could devour the man in front of her alive, but since heaven had given her a chance to be reborn.

She didn't want to have any more contact with Gu Che.

Jiang Ye pushed him away: "From now on, let's part ways amicably."

Even if Gu Che becomes a business tycoon in the future, so what? His status is still no match for Huo Jingyuan.

Huo Jingyuan could suffocate Gu Che with just a flick of his finger. Jiang Ye, who had lived for decades, understood that power was always greater than money.

"You need to give me a reason," Gu Che said, looking dejected.

"I've already told you, there's no reason needed, let's part ways amicably!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ye once again shook off his hand that was trying to touch her.

She took out her Beijing Military Region pass from her bag and walked through the gate openly and legitimately.

Gu Che was stopped by soldiers in military uniform: "You can't enter without a pass."

As Jiang Ye walked through the military compound, she thought about how she would act cute and coquettish with her mother when she got home, telling her that she had been studying diligently at her friend's house.

Wen Ci arrived at the city hospital in a rickshaw.

She went to the doctor's office to inquire about Huo Jingyuan's condition.

The doctor looked Wen Ci over warily and said seriously, "We have an officer named Huo Jingyuan hospitalized here. You say you are his family member, but do you have any evidence to prove that you are his?"

"Have!"

Wen Ci quickly took out her marriage certificate with Huo Jingyuan from the inner pocket of her clothes. She had carried this certificate with her all the way from the Northwest.

The doctor examined the marriage certificate and questioned, "Didn't you take your wedding photos together?"

Wen Ci shook her head: "Our marriage was arranged."

As she spoke, she pointed to the steel stamp on the photo and said earnestly, "The steel stamp can't be forged, can it?"

"Please wait a moment, we need to call and confirm."

Huo Jingyuan's status was extraordinary, and the doctor in charge at the city hospital had to confirm with his superiors whether Wen Ci was a family member before he could inform the patient about his condition.

A few minutes later, the doctor approached Wen Ci with a fawning smile and offered her a chair: "I'm sorry, Commander Huo's identity is special, so we need to be on high alert."

Wen Ci nodded in understanding.

"How long will it take for my husband to be discharged from the hospital?"

"At least three months," the doctor replied.

Immediately, the doctor took out the surgical report and various physical examination results, and explained in a calm tone: "Commander Huo's wounds are mainly near his spleen and the back of his head, so he needs to rest more."

Wen Ci asked, "Won't this affect his military career?"

"No, no," the doctor quickly reassured him. "Commander Huo wasn't seriously injured. He just needs to rest and recover before he can resume normal training."

Huo Jingyuan was the youngest military officer.

The higher-ups were reluctant to let such a promising talent go.

Wen Ci breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine then."

Not long after arriving at the Northwest Military Region, late at night, Wen Ci asked Huo Jingyuan what he would do if he retired.
Huo Jingyuan's answer was: "I haven't thought about it."

He never imagined he would retire and change careers.

The education I received from childhood was about dedication.

"Commander Huo's ward can only be visited between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning. He will be able to move to a regular ward for normal visits next Friday."

Wen Ci asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

The doctor smiled and said, "No need. All of Commander Huo's expenses are reimbursed by his unit. The caregiver who takes care of him is a retired soldier, and his three meals a day are also prepared by the hospital."

"It's troublesome."

After consulting with the doctor, Wen Ci felt completely relieved.
