A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After that, Gui'er became closer to Zhou Huifang, but of course she was still very good friends with Miss Shen.

Since rescuing Xu Wenjie, Miss Shen has been visiting him from time to time. At first, Gui'er did not go with her because the investigation results had not yet come out. Later, when the investigation was completed, she went to see her together.

Xu Wenjie quietly told Gui'er, "Not long ago, the organization sent someone to contact me. They agreed to let me join the Military Commission."

Gui'er nodded and said with a smile, "Isn't that great? This way you won't have to worry about your source of income."

Xu Wenjie smiled wryly and said, "I'm just worried there's some conspiracy behind this, because Director Zhou isn't a good person either."

Thinking of Zhou Huifang, Gui'er tentatively said, "I don't know Director Zhou, but his niece is my classmate. She's a nice person, very cultured and polite."

Xu Wenjie didn't care, probably because he didn't have much of an impression of Zhou Huifang. He said to Gui'er, "I'll be starting work soon. The bookstore will continue to operate. The organization has recommended a comrade to help me run it. I'll tell everyone that I hired him. If you have any questions, just tell him directly, and he'll pass them on to me."

Guier said, "Okay."

Miss Shen walked over and said, "What are you talking about?"

Guier smiled and said, "Boss Xu, it seems he got a good job in the government, and he's just telling me the good news."

Miss Shen said, "Oh, is that your job on some government committee? That's great."

Xu Wenjie said, "You two have helped me so much, I should treat you to a meal when the time comes."

Miss Shen smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake, why bother about it!"

Xu Wenjie said, "My mother is also very grateful and has mentioned it many times. If I don't invite you again, I'm afraid I will be scolded."

Gui'er was very happy that Xu Wenjie was innocent and that she was able to infiltrate the enemy and get a reward. However, if she had dinner with Xu Wenjie and Miss Shen, not only would the lady be unhappy, but even Sha Yanyao would probably not be happy.

I had no choice but to say, "Boss Xu, it's enough that you're kind. My family is very strict. They criticized me for my last action with Miss Shen, so I won't go."

Xu Wenjie felt very sorry when he heard this and said, "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Gui'er quickly comforted him, "That's not the case. I'm just a kid and shouldn't be so involved in so many things. Boss Xu, if you want to thank me, why not lend me some books for free? I'll return them to you after I'm done. That way I can save money."

Xu Wenjie laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. Just take whatever you want to see."

Guier was happy now. She could read books for free in the future. In this world, without mobile phones, the only way to get information was to listen to the radio and read newspapers, and spiritual food came from reading books, watching movies and plays. However, the books published in this era were much more profound than many of the modern ones that were just for show.

On the way back, Miss Shen cautiously asked Gui'er, "You helped me rescue Xu Wenjie. Did Madam and Sha Yanyao blame you? What did they say?"

Gui'er didn't expect that she had remembered it, and quickly said, "Madam, your opinion is a bit strong, but my eldest brother didn't say much, and didn't he also make great efforts? He did it entirely out of your face."

Miss Shen nodded and said, "He's a good man." Then she asked, "How is he getting along with his new wife? Is his new wife okay?"

Gui Er got a headache just thinking about Song Tingting. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Anyway, the new sister-in-law's family is the richest in Jiangcheng. The lady is quite polite to her, and she is also very respectful to the lady, so the two of them get along well."

Miss Shen felt a little disappointed after hearing this, so Gui'er quickly said to her, "Sister Feng Shu, don't worry about the past anymore. You have to look forward to it, because there is no way to turn back."

Miss Shen smiled and said, "Of course I know that. By the way, what do you think of Xu Wenjie?"

Gui'er was stunned for a moment. She had wanted to bring them together before, but was delayed. She quickly asked, "Are you two together?"

"How is that possible?" Miss Shen said shyly, "But my mother saw me saving him and said that I was so devoted to him, and wondered if I was interested in him. Actually, I can't tell, but my mother thinks a lot. She has considered that Xu Wenjie's family is now in trouble, and if I stay with him, I might be dragged down."

In fact, Gui'er was more worried than Miss Shen. She didn't expect that she had just heard Zhou Huifang say that she liked Xu Wenjie, and now Miss Shen said the same thing.

Both Zhou Huifang and Miss Shen are good girls. She feels that she doesn't know what to do, and it seems that nothing she does is right.

The bad thing is that she has no one to discuss this matter with. The only decent person around her is Sha Yanyao, but it is impossible to ask Miss Shen's ex-husband to discuss this matter. It is not good to use the emergency contact information to find Song Xichen because of such a small matter.

This incident made her unable to sleep well.

But within two days, Zhou Huifang said to Guier cheerfully, "I've inquired about it, and he doesn't have a wife."

Gui Er was confused for a moment and said, "Who doesn't have a wife?"

Zhou Huifang patted the back of her hand coquettishly and said, "I've already asked my uncle about Boss Xu, whom I told you about last time. My uncle is quite optimistic about him and thinks he has a bright future."

"But I think, Miss Shen risked her life to save her last time, could it be that they are actually in love?" Gui'er was more inclined to Miss Shen in the end. She felt that Miss Shen was more compatible with Xu Wenjie in terms of age and other aspects.

Moreover, Miss Shen has already experienced a failed marriage. If she doesn't meet a good man again, she is likely to live a very miserable life in this era.

Zhou Huifang is still young and her family is well-off, so she doesn't have to worry about not meeting young talents.

Zhou Huifang was stunned when she heard Gui'er say this. After a while, she slowly said, "Actually, I have considered this possibility. After all, Teacher Shen went to your brother to ask for help in order to save Boss Xu. I know she is your brother's ex-wife, but I didn't expect you to support Miss Shen and Boss Xu."

Gui'er was very surprised. She had never talked about this matter at school or made it public, and she believed that Miss Shen would not tell it herself.

She asked Zhou Huifang, "How did you know that my brother and Teacher Shen were married? Although she and my brother are divorced, she is indeed a good person, so we still maintain a good friendship."

Zhou Huifang said: "My uncle said that. I think that loving someone is a free thing. I didn't violate any moral standards by pursuing Boss Xu. As for how he chooses, that's his business. I just don't want to have any regrets in my life."

Gui Er thought about it and realized that she had so many worries, but in fact, there were ten strokes on both sides and not even a single stroke. She smiled and said, "You're right."
