Aim at That Star

Chapter 42: The Boy I Like Is Tall And Bright

In general, Gu Changying’s journey of “hunting a thousand miles to find her husband” is not easy.

First of all, there is no railway station in Jiao’an County.

If she wants to go to Jinling by train, she must first take a boat to Naicheng in Lin Province.

Then drive the mule cart from the port in the east of Naicheng to the railway station in the west.

Because it was a short-distance journey and there were no large boats, Gu Changying took the small fishing boat that Jiao’an County used daily.

The food along the way was not so good. For someone like Gu Changying who had experienced great wealth in later generations, it could be said to be hard to swallow.

Fortunately, after getting on the train, the situation has greatly improved.

In fact, Yu Kunyu arranged the train tickets and the hotel on the way.

Gu Changying is going to come to Jinling to find someone so big, the Jiang family must first inform Jiang Shi.

After Yu Kunyu learned the news, he was afraid that a big man in Jiang Shi would not arrange it properly and make the situation of his little sister even worse, so he took action personally.

After all, in today’s world, it’s still good for boats and horses, and I’m afraid that in the event of an accident, there’s really no place to make amends.

The task in the Northeast that year was completed by her partner with Jiang Shi.

Now that Jiang Shi has become the top leader’s favorite, she naturally has a lot of benefits.

At the very least, her authority in the organization is no lower than that of a major.

So she personally went to ask for a soldier named Yan Wang. It is said that he is very clever and has good marksmanship. This kind of work of protecting people has never made a mistake in sending him there.

The food expenses are also calculated by Yu Kunyu herself, and the train tickets are bought by her.

The first-class sleeping ticket, one upper bunk and one lower bunk, cost a total of more than 100 yuan, which was higher than Yu Kunyu’s monthly salary.

Fortunately, Jiang Shi has money.

Yu Kunyu spends money like running water, but insists on convincing herself with the excuse of “this is Jiang Shi’s fault and it is reasonable for me to use his money”.

Then he started to splurge with peace of mind.

However, Jiang Shi was also a little surprised: “It’s not good to say it. In the past, your relationship with Gu Changying was an equal wife. If you let other people’s family fight, how could you be so good to her?”

Yu Kunyu held the money pot and frowned: “I’m not atonement for you yet. Tell outsiders about this. Believe it or not, eight out of ten say it’s your responsibility. At this time, you still have to If you mention divorce, do you dare to be a little more sorry for others?”

The redeemed Jiang Shi touched his nose and said nothing.

On the other side, after two or three days of bumpy road, Gu Changying finally boarded the train.

There is an extra fee for the two sleeping tickets, but Yu Kunyu is not good at doing this kind of discrimination, so even Yan Wang, the guard who protects her, also enjoys the first-class treatment.

Yan Wang actually liked Gu Changying very much.

Although he is very young, he is mature enough. Although his appearance is not particularly beautiful, his face like a full moon makes people feel warm and approachable.

With a well-proportioned and plump figure, he stood out among a group of skinny refugees.

And his temperament is also attractive, his words are less gentle, and there is no arrogance.

What’s even more surprising is that she obviously grew up in a boudoir in the country, but her mind is very open and advanced, and she can even speak some English.

Once chatting, she is full of witty words, and new things come out of her mouth one after another, her eyes seem to have light, in this numb and crazy era, she is so vivid that people can’t take their eyes off.

Yan Wang felt that if he wanted to get married in the future, he should marry such a woman.

So before getting off the train, he summoned up the courage to ask Gu Changying, “Miss Gu, what do you think of me?”

Gu Changying was slightly startled: “How about what?”

The boy blushed and stammered: “I am exactly 23 years old after the new year, and I also graduated from the Central Military Academy. Now I am a first-class soldier in the Ninth Army. A younger brother…”

“Wait a minute.” Gu Changying couldn’t help interrupting him, “Why are you telling me this?”

“I…Although it may be a bit abrupt to say this, Miss Gu, I appreciate your character and your spirit very much during the few days I have spent with you.”

It was probably the first time I had confessed to someone, and Yan Wang acted like a stunned young man with no head and no tail, stammering and confusing his words, “I’ve never grown up so far, and no woman has ever made me feel so uneasy, If you agree, I, when I arrive in Jinling, I will ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, I…Miss Gu, I really like you.”

Gu Changying was silent for a moment.

Just when Yan Wang felt uneasy and thought she was thinking of reasons to reject her, and was about to ask her to stop embarrassed, the woman raised her head: “You said you would invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, but don’t you know that I have married Anyone?”

Yan Wang was stunned: “What?”

“Don’t you know? The person who sent you to pick me up didn’t even tell you who I am?”

“…Mrs. Jiang said that you were a relative of her husband, and she was only a year old, and asked me to pay attention to your reputation and not be frivolous. I thought, ”

Yan Wang paused, a wry smile appeared on his lips, “I thought you were still in the boudoir.”

Mrs. Jiang… Yu Kunyu?

Gu Changying finally smiled: “Do you know why Yu Kunyu didn’t dare to tell you?”

“…”

In the stunned eyes of the man, she raised her eyes slightly, and said mockingly, “Because I am married to her husband.”

……

People from different eras really have a wall between each other.

For Gu Changying, Yu Kunyu and Yan Wang covered up the truth and slurred their words, just to cover up their crimes, and wanted to defend their identity before she went to Jinling.

It’s a shameless, vicious and deadly practice.

So she actively resisted.

Along the way, he and Yan Wangdao have done all his hardships and sufferings over the years, revealing Yu Kunyu’s ugly heart hidden under his beautiful appearance.

However, for Yan Wang, the fact that the person he loves is getting married is far more heartbreaking than the fact that the temporary boss is a hypocritical villain.

So he listened in a daze, his heart was broken, and his mind was absent.

As for his boss Yu Kunyu with a human face and an animal heart—

For her, the reason why she could hide Gu Changying’s identity was because she was thinking about her future.

In Yu Kunyu’s heart, Gu Changying’s “forced divorce” has become an inevitable and cannot be changed.

Then the way to make up for Gu Changying is to strive for the best situation for her in terms of divorce.

Gu Changying grew up in a small place like Jiao’an County, and was raised by his parents in the back house, and he hardly ever saw outsiders.

So apart from relatives and friends, not many people actually know what she looks like.

Second, Gu Changying was very young. In Jinling, when a girl from a wealthy family was her age, she was basically still in middle school.

She has never been in the same room with Jiang Shi, she is innocent and can be said to be a veritable girl.

Yu Kunyu felt that she could be regarded as Jiang Shi’s relative.

When the little girl comes to Jinling, I will arrange a school for her, and then arrange a clean identity, let her go to school and get in touch with the outside world, presumably her mind will soon be broadened, and she will no longer be rigid. That side’s back house is a small world.

When she gets used to the life in Jinling, whether she wants to fall in love freely, or whether she wants to go back to her hometown to serve her parents is up to her.

If she wants to fall in love freely and decide her own marriage, then with Jiang Shi’s ability and identity, in two or three years, there should be many people in Jinling for Gu Changying to choose from.

— When Yu Kunyu told Jiang Shi about his thoughts, the man put down the blueprint in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

“What do you think of my approach?”

“Excellent.”

Jiang Shi applauded and praised, “It’s completely cutting your husband’s flesh and blood to help other people’s poverty.”

“How did I cut your flesh?”

“I have to pay a large amount of divorce compensation, arrange school and identity, and look after her husband’s family for her, and I have to use my power to persuade her husband’s family.”

The man squinted at her with a half-smile, “I’m just raising a daughter, so I don’t have to work so hard, right?”

“…Who asked you to marry her yourself.”

“I didn’t marry it, my mother married it.”

“Didn’t your mother marry you?”

Yu Kunyu covered his mouth and glared at him, “A handsome seven-footed man, if you do something, you will blame it on your parents. Do you still take responsibility?”

“…”

Jiang Shizhen had never seen someone so rushing to take the blame on him.

But the little girl was still chattering: “Speaking of which, your mother is also quite pitiful. She raised a son until he was twelve or thirteen years old. Just when he was about to feel comfortable, the son ran away. She worked hard to marry her son. A daughter-in-law, her son still doesn’t recognize her, and when she is coming, her son will blame her. You say, how can it be so troublesome to be a mother?”

“…Yu Kunyu, don’t forget who I have to divorce this for.”

“Come on.” Yu Kunyu wrinkled her nose irritably, “Could it be that you wouldn’t get divorced without me? In the end, you’re just using me as a raft. Tell me a fresh reason for not marrying, The old people will definitely ignore it, and now it’s alright, with me, the excuse will come out at once.”

She slumped down on the couch: “I’m really unlucky. I didn’t do anything, and I became that calamitous woman who hooked up with a married man’s concubine.”

Jiang Shi wanted her to shut up.

During this period of time, the word “concubine” has almost become Miss Yu’s mantra. Saying it every few days is like degrading her marriage to the ground.

Jiang Shi was really sad to hear that.

He thinks that he is an upright little cool guy, how can he become a trash thief who is out with others without telling his wife?

“Spend my money, sleep with my body, and slander my reputation.”

He leaned back, his tone was lazy and melancholy, “It’s the most poisonous woman’s heart, the most poisonous woman’s heart.”

– If you don’t have a knife in your hand.

The poisonous woman Yu Kunyu swore that if it weren’t for the absence of a knife, she would definitely kill her husband on this lively New Year’s Eve.

Thousands of corpses.

……

The New Year’s Eve is coming to an end soon.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Changying jumped out of a carriage, wrapped in a cloak, and knocked on the black-painted door of No. 27 Zha Deng Lane.

This is the time when the sun is most sunny in the afternoon.

The magazine office has six days off and one day off. Today is just a break. Jiang Shi wanted to take Yu Kunyu to bask in the sun in the yard, but Yu Kunyu disliked the pain in the eyes that the sun was too bright, so he moved a small table and hid in the utility room to clean up the manuscripts.

So when the door was knocked, it was Jiang Shi who opened the door.

The spring is bright, and the early cherry blossoms outside the eaves are shy and charming.

Most of the man’s face was blocked by the shadow of the cherry blossoms, and the remaining half was covered by the bright sunlight. In fact, he couldn’t see his face clearly.

However, it is precisely because of this vagueness and ambiguity that he is more prominent in his tall and straight posture and clear temperament.

I knew by feeling that this must be a very handsome young man.

Gu Changying raised her head, and there were still wet tears on her cheeks.

His hair was messy, and the cloak on his body was dragged halfway to the ground, revealing the tattered dress inside.

Fortunately, the weather was cold, and the cheongsam was also lined with cotton, so it only looked awkward.

At the moment of seeing Jiang Shi, perhaps this tall figure gave people a great sense of security, or perhaps his temperament was just and awe-inspiring.

So she couldn’t control her tears, and she couldn’t hold back her fear and grievance. With a wow, she jumped into his arms and burst into tears.

“…”

Jiang Shi’s whole body froze.

Yu Kunyu heard the movement and came out of the utility room.

The first picture that fell into her eyes was so moving and ambiguous.

Yan Wang, who sent Gu Changying over from the door, gave a wry smile: “Mrs Jiang, don’t worry, nothing major happened, but there were some twists and turns. Then… Since the person has been delivered, I will not disturb the three of you and your wife. It’s old.”

Couple…Three?

Yu Kunyu’s gaze fell on Gu Changying, who was still crying while holding Jiang Shi’s clothes, and suddenly felt that she had made some mistakes in her judgment of this girl and this marriage.

She nodded to Yan Wang first: “Okay, you can go back, don’t talk about this matter, once there is a rumor outside, I won’t ask anyone, I’ll just ask you for trouble, you know?”

“Yes, this subordinate will never reveal a word.”

After Yan Wang left, Yu Kunyu looked at Jiang Shi, narrowed her eyes, and said in a light tone: “Jiang Shi, do you want to explain to me what is going on?”

“…”

Jiang Shi sighed.

Then he picked up the girl who was holding on to his clothes, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, “Hey, do you want to explain to me what is going on?”

Gu Changying cried for a while, but also recovered from the fear.

Realizing that the person in front of him was a scumbag who he had spurned thousands of times, he immediately stopped sobbing, took a deep breath, and tried to keep his voice calm: “I’m Gu Changying…”

Jiang Shi smiled and interrupted her: “Are you Gu Changying?”

What’s the meaning?

Gu Changying was slightly startled, and frowned, “Yes, I am Gu Changying.”

“Are you really Gu Changying?”

Gu Changying was really stunned.

I don’t know if he’s joking, or if he knows something.

Out of an inexplicable guilty conscience, she subconsciously avoided his gaze, and said in a stern voice, “What do you mean? Who else can I be if I’m not Gu Changying? Could it be that you haven’t seen me?”

“I’ve seen it, I’ve seen it.”

The man raised his lips lightly, “It’s just that I remember that the last time I saw you, you didn’t even dare to touch my hair. Why did you become like this in less than three years?”

This, the width, the pattern, the sub.

Four simple words came out of his mouth with a different taste, coupled with a mocking and indifferent expression.

More of a humiliation than a statement.

It seems to be saying: How come within three years, you have become such a person who is throwing himself in his arms, scratching his head and making poses, and being unethical?

With a bang, the anger in Gu Changying’s heart was completely hooked up.
