1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 258 Exposed (Two Chapters Combined)
Since Lu Youyou was a student at Tsinghua University, and she had agreed to limit the impact to the campus, the follow-up handling was left to Lü Guangfu.

It's true that Du Yuelan is impulsive, but does a rich young lady really hate her so much that she has to take action herself to vent her anger?

Gu Qingye naturally investigated the things she suspected.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Qingye asked.

He peeled an orange and cut a plate of watermelon, feeding them with his left hand while leisurely fanning himself with his right.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Lu Youyou squinted as she leaned against him, feeling incredibly comfortable.

"Since he likes to stand out so much, then let's make him famous."

Gu Qingye smiled, without the slightest hesitation because it was a member of the Gu family: "Okay, do as you say."

Lu Youyou took a bite of the orange that was brought to her mouth; it was nine parts sweet and one part sour—delicious.

She asked curiously, "Come on, tell me, let's see if we're on the same wavelength?"

Tell Sun Pan'er.

As soon as Gu Qingye finished speaking, Lu Youyou's eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and then she pressed an orange-flavored kiss to the corner of his lips.

"You're so bad..."

A soft murmur escaped from between her lips.

Of course, he accepted all the benefits that were offered to him. Gu Qingye held Lu Youyou's waist and deepened his kiss.

"You don't need to worry about it, leave the rest to me."

Lu Youyou was happy to be relaxed, as if she had been able to handle these trivial matters with ease ever since Gu Qingye came into her life.

Sun Pan'er dared to take a gamble and marry Gu Shuchen back then. If she had known that her husband was planning to abandon her and climb the social ladder, she would never have accepted it passively.

Just as Gu Shuchen was filled with anxiety, wondering if he had escaped this calamity, the Du family erupted in chaos.

Before Du Guanghan met Du Yuelan, who had caused a major disaster, he received a call from the Agricultural University.

It was Lü Guangfu who made the call personally, using the school's landline, speaking in an official tone, and in the capacity of the person in charge of the joint project team.

In short, reject backdoors and only discuss official business.

Du Guanghan's first reaction was that Lü Guangfu wanted to manipulate Du Yuelan to get more benefits, such as more funding or more preferential policies.

"Comrade Lü, if you have any requests, why don't we meet and discuss them?"

Seeing that Du Guanghan had misunderstood, Lü Guangfu directly changed the explanation to something more colloquial.

"Du Yuelan obtained the laboratory key through illegal means and broke in illegally. The evidence is conclusive. I think Du is no longer suitable to stay in the project team."

Du Guanghan seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand, but one thing was certain: Du Yuelan had been kicked by Lü Guangfu.

He held back from pressing for details over the phone, sensing that once the other party revealed the information, there would be no turning back.

But his last hope was shattered at lightning speed when Du Yuelan returned home.

"What did you say? That's Lu Youyou's lab?!"

Du Guanghan's vision went black for a moment, and he swayed twice before falling backward. Lu Yanping was terrified and immediately went to support him, managing to keep him from falling to the ground with great effort.

Her arm was tugged, but Lu Yanping couldn't care less about that now; she frantically tried to pat her husband on the back to help him catch his breath.

Du Guanghan closed his eyes tightly, trying to suppress the sudden dizziness, but the impact of the event was too great. Even after two minutes, he still felt lightheaded and unsteady.

"Du Yuelan, tell me everything you've done!"

Lu Yanping was also worried; she couldn't understand how her daughter had gotten involved with Lu Youyou.

Even though she dotes on her daughter, she can't help but panic now. The previous case is not yet completely over, and Du Yuelan is now trying to provoke Lu Youyou again.

What the hell is this!

Du Yuelan didn't think she had done anything wrong at all: "I just went to take a look today, why are they kicking me out of the project team? Dad, say something!"

Du Guanghan felt dizzy and lightheaded again.

There might still be room for maneuver in other matters, but Lu Youyou just caused a scene because of a problem in the lab, so it would be strange if she didn't take drastic measures!
He finally managed to fool her, but then his own daughter stabbed him in the back.

Du Guanghan was not an innocent girl. She also wanted to deceive herself that Gu Bohuai would not know about this, but was that possible?

Who can guarantee that Lu Youyou won't take this opportunity to cause trouble, what if Gu Bohuai settles all his old scores with new ones...?

The Du family was thrown into chaos. Du Yuelan couldn't take it anymore and confessed that she had acted because she was jealous of her boyfriend and couldn't stand it.

Upon hearing that her boyfriend's name was Gu Shuchen, Du Guanghan felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if pricked by a needle, and his eyes rolled back as he fainted.

Is this Gu Shuchen the same Gu Shuchen he knows?!
What sins did he commit in his past life to give birth to such a wicked creature!
*
For Gu Qingye, it was not a difficult task to bypass the Gu family couple in Qiaoshan Village and deliver the message to Sun Pan'er.

If Lu Youyou were to see Sun Pan'er now, she might not recognize her at first glance.

She looked much more haggard than she had three years ago. The "good marriage" she had painstakingly planned turned out to be nothing like what she had imagined after she actually got married.

Gu Shuchen's labels shattered one by one after marriage. By day, he was a gentle and refined intellectual; by night, he was an absolute pervert.

At first, he was just a bit rough on things like sex, occasionally leaving a few bloody marks. However, after failing his first college entrance exam, Gu Shuchen completely changed.

Sun Pan'er also wanted to go to university, but due to both physical and mental torment, she applied twice and failed the exam twice.

After Gu Shuchen went to the capital, she wanted to take the exam again. She didn't want to rot and stink in this deserted place. But suddenly, one day, her in-laws' attitude towards her changed.

When the Gu couple received Gu Shuchen's letter, they learned that he had a chance to rise above his station and decided to abandon Sun Pan'er without hesitation.

Want to take the college entrance exam? No way!

They had to keep a close eye on her for their son, and absolutely not let her cause trouble for Gu Shuchen.

Without identification or money, Sun Pan'er couldn't go anywhere, and was even deprived of the right to read books. All she had to do every day was endless housework.

Sun Pan'er's cleverness was far from enough to get her out of trouble. Just as she was drifting through her days in a daze, the village secretary's daughter, who had been admitted to university, returned home.

At the same time, news was also brought back—Gu Shuchen seemed to have a fiancée in the capital.

Sun Pan'er was struck dumb, never having considered why the Party Secretary's daughter, with whom she had only exchanged a few words, would run into her the moment she returned.

She can't go back to her parents' home, and her path to the college entrance exam is blocked. If Gu Shuchen marries someone else and never comes back, her life will be ruined.

Sun Pan'er dared not reveal a word to her in-laws, but finally could not hold back any longer and could only ask the village secretary's daughter for help, hoping for the best.

Everything that followed felt like a dream; I received a letter of introduction and even lent her travel expenses.

Sun Pan'er was still in a daze even after setting foot on the soil of the capital.

She asked for directions all the way to the address of the Normal University, and by sheer coincidence, she ran into Gu Shuchen, who was being all lovey-dovey with Du Yuelan.

Du Guanghan was so angry that he suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized, leaving Lu Yanping alone, who was unable to control Du Yuelan.

She told Du Yuelan to break up with him immediately, but Du Yuelan rebelled and refused to budge.

Her parents not only failed to help her solve the problem, but also scolded her severely because she offended Lu Youyou.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the person surnamed Lu was their biological daughter. Only Gu Shuchen could understand her! Du Yuelan had been locked up at home for several days. After finally managing to escape, she went straight to the Normal University.

She started complaining incessantly the moment they met. Gu Shuchen tried hard to extract the main idea from her incoherent description, and his heart began to sink slowly.

The Du family did absolutely nothing?

He tentatively asked, but Du Guanghan was unexpectedly hospitalized, and Lu Yanping was unsure whether she should tell the child this secret, especially since the child was extremely unreliable.

Having made a series of mistakes, Du Yuelan knew nothing when asked, so Gu Shuchen could only try to calm her down.

Sun Pan'er arrived at this time.

She had never seen Gu Shuchen so amiable; she could hardly recognize him as her husband.

She hadn't forgotten why she had come, and she especially wouldn't forget what the village secretary's daughter had said at the end—

Women should not be confined to the home, even if they are married.

That's how Sun Pan'er's ambition was ignited.

If you don't let her take the college entrance exam, then we'll get a divorce. She only married Gu Shuchen in the first place so she could have a better life. If she becomes a college student, she can live without relying on the Gu family.

Gu Shuchen, it was your family that forced me to do this, so don't blame me!

Thus, right there on the campus of the Normal University, in full view of everyone, a modern version of "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan" was staged.

After his skillful social maneuvering and climbing the social ladder, Gu Shuchen once again made a name for himself at the Normal University.

Chen Shimei, heartless man, I never would have guessed he had such a cruel heart...

The constant stream of discussions caused the world that Gu Shuchen had painstakingly built to collapse at a visible speed.

The one who couldn't accept it the most was naturally Du Yuelan.

She was worried that Gu Shuchen would be seduced by Lu Youyou, so she personally intervened, only to end up in a mess. And now she's being told that this man got married three years ago?!
The pointing fingers and gloating glances around her made Du Yuelan feel as if she had fallen into a vat of boiling oil.

"Snapped!"

Even though it was the first time in her life that Du Yuelan slapped someone, it didn't stop her from slapping Gu Shuchen's face until it was swollen.

"Snapped!"

With a backhand slap, his face became symmetrical, and Gu Shuchen immediately turned into a pig's head.

Sun Pan'er almost burst into tears. Seeing Gu Shuchen's miserable state, she had to admit that she felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

During the period after failing the exam, she would fall asleep every night covered in bruises. Even in her ignorance, she knew that normal couples would never do that.

The man who tormented her is now being tormented by his powerful backer. Evil people will always be punished by evil people!
Du Yuelan lost face and dared not go back to complain, but bad news travels fast, and naturally someone told Du Guanghan about it.

He was about to be discharged from the hospital, but he almost got so angry that he went back to bed.

That damned Gu Zhonghuai! He pretended to comply but secretly left behind such a huge threat as Gu Qingye, and now his son dares to cause trouble!
If he can't afford to offend Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou, surely he can handle Gu Shuchen?
After being slapped twice, Gu Shuchen could no longer contact Du Yuelan, and the school also spoke to him about the negative impact.

With Sun Pan'er as a witness, he can't possibly get rid of the label of Chen Shimei.

Having illicit relationships is a serious crime. The only loophole he could exploit was that he and Du Yuelan had no physical contact, but the furious Du Guanghan blocked all his delusions.

Three days later, Gu Shuchen received a notice—he was expelled from school and was to leave immediately.

The road to heaven in my dream was cruelly and mercilessly severed!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sun Pan'er went to the Women's Federation and recounted her tragic experience. She said she didn't ask for anything, she just wanted a divorce.

Because their household registration was not in Beijing, the Beijing Women's Federation sent a letter to the Hongqi Commune, which quickly arrived in Qiaoshan Village.

Gu Shuchen knew he was finished.

Due to the intense emotional fluctuations, his health, which had just begun to improve, collapsed again. Under this triple blow, Gu Shuchen completely broke down.

He hated Du Yuelan for being heartless, hated Sun Pan'er for being an ungrateful wretch, and hated Lu Youyou even more.

If Lu Youyou weren't in the capital, if she didn't appear before him, his future would be a bright and promising one.

Instead of what he is now, wandering outside the Du family's gate like a stray dog, unable to even touch the threshold of the courtyard.

"Are you Gu Shuchen?"

The sudden female voice brought him back to his senses, and Gu Shuchen raised his head.

This was a face with a stubble beard and dark circles under his eyes, every bloodshot in his eyes filled with resentment.

"Are you angry? Do you want revenge? I can give you anything you want."

------

With no one causing trouble, Lu Youyou was completely immersed in the two projects until someone at the Agricultural University started gossiping that Du Yuelan's boyfriend was two-timing her, which brought her back to reality.

Gu Qingye went to a meeting out of town these past two days, and she thought the matter would be delayed, but she didn't expect Gu Qingye to act so quickly.

Du Yuelan's disappearance from the project team makes it easier for everyone to gossip. Since the person in question is gone, there's no need to keep it a secret; everyone can talk about it however they want.

Lu Youyou listened to one version at noon and another version on her way home in the evening.

The processes varied, but the evaluations of the parties involved were largely the same.

One is stupid, the other is wicked. If it weren't for the law, Du Yuelan and Gu Shuchen would actually be a match made in heaven.

Lu Youyou glanced at Lu Fang and couldn't help but laugh, "You have a keen eye."

Lu Fang usually appears composed and steady, seemingly focused only on his tasks and studies, but his words are surprisingly sharp.

Lu Fang felt a little embarrassed. He was still not used to gossiping about others. If the topic wasn't about Du Yuelan, he definitely wouldn't say a word.

He was once in the same group as Du Yuelan. If he hadn't been mentally strong, he would have been furious three times a day.

The two walked together to the fork in the road, and Lu Fang said goodbye and walked away quickly.

Having worked together for so long, Lu Youyou was someone he looked up to with utmost respect. For him to spout nonsense in front of such a powerful figure was definitely a case of a pest getting unlucky and becoming delirious with joy!

Lu Youyou had heard a lot of stories, but she never expected that the protagonist of the stories would suddenly appear in front of her.

She just got off the bus and will be home in five minutes.

She remembers every tree and every brick on this road clearly. With an extra stone blocking the way, it feels like the world has been polluted.

Annoying people, disgusting smells, and it just so happens to be her period every month—Lu Youyou felt inexplicably irritable.

At this moment, she especially missed Gu Qingye.

She violently wanted to see a one-sided beating with a huge disparity in strength, to smash that hateful face into the wall so it could never be dug out.

Gu Shuchen's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had fallen into some kind of frenzied state. His fingertips began to tremble at the thought of what that woman had said.

Fear, anger, excitement, madness...

Some people cannot withstand stimulation, especially those with physical abnormalities. The devil in their hearts can easily tempt them and cloud their reason.
