Ye Nuan's guess was actually correct; Wu Zhaodi indeed did not want her to marry into the family.

However, before Wu Zhaodi came, she wanted to see what Ye Nuan looked like and whether she would be the kind of person who would support her family in the future.

As soon as they met, Wu Zhaodi felt unhappy.

She thought Ye Nuan was too attractive.

Wu Xingbang is a soldier, and he is not currently eligible to bring his family to accompany him while he is at the military base. So if he were to marry Ye Nuan, it would be tantamount to leaving her at home to live a life of widowhood.

But Ye Nuan is so beautiful, can she really be patient?

Wu Zhaodi initially thought the Ye family was alright, but after meeting them in person, she realized she couldn't let her marry into the Wu family.

Of course, there is another reason, which is because of the white doves.

After leaving the Huang family, Wu Zhaodi hummed a little tune as she walked back, but then turned a corner halfway there to look for Bai Ge.

Bai Ge had just finished cleaning up the dishes and was still wearing her apron.

"Hey, sis's here! Have you eaten yet?"

Wu Zhaodi nodded: "I've eaten. How's your family?"

Bai Ge gave a wry smile: "What else could it be? Did you come back from the Ye family?"

Wu Zhaodi nodded, her face full of gratitude, and said, "It's all thanks to you! When I went over to take a look, I realized that Ye Nuan looked so improper. She was clearly not from a good family. My brother is an officer, how could he marry a girl like that? It's all thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise, my brother might have really been ensnared by this vixen."

Bai Ge felt smug inside, but gave a bitter smile: "Don't say that. I just wanted Xingbang to marry a virtuous wife. It's my fault for being useless. If I had persisted a little longer, maybe I could have waited for Xingbang to come back."

Hearing these words of self-reproach, Wu Zhaodi felt as if it were a touching story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai!

"Sigh, it's just that you and Xingbang weren't meant to be. Forget it, let's not talk about the past. But I think that Ye Nuan isn't good enough, but today I've spotted a girl with a lucky face. She has a round face and looks like she'll bring good fortune to her husband. Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to hurry back and tell my mom."

Bai Ge's expression stiffened slightly: "Big Sister has her eye on it? Then Brother Xingbang agrees too?"

"I don't know yet, but I think it's definitely true. I need to go back and talk to Xingbang right away, and let them formally meet tomorrow."

Bai Ge watched Wu Zhaodi hurrying back and wished she could grind her teeth to dust!

She went to great lengths to ruin Ye Nuan and Wu Xingbang's relationship, so how come Wu Zhaodi can arrange another one for them?

She had no idea whether Ye Nuan was good-looking or not; she simply didn't want Wu Xingbang to get married!

If Wu Xingbang really has a small family, how will he support himself in the future?

How much more can I save in my own little nest egg?

Bai Ge heard someone calling her from behind, so she had no choice but to go back and deal with the old man first; she could deal with the rest tomorrow.

Wu Zhaodi took a liking to Aunt Huang's daughter simply because she looked like she was blessed and had a good temperament. If such a person married into the Wu family, wouldn't they have her completely under their control?

Moreover, Wu Zhaodi also felt that the girl was of average appearance and not as tall as Ye Nuan. She only graduated from primary school, but now she had a job. Although it was just a temporary job, she could still earn money. If she married into the Wu family in the future, she wouldn't be afraid that the girl would misbehave outside.

Moreover, Wu Zhaoxian is very shrewd; she has already started thinking about how to get that temporary job into her own hands after Wu Zhaodi marries into the family.

Everyone has their own ulterior motives; no matter how they plan, it's all for personal gain.

Ye Nuan didn't care about any of that. As long as they didn't get involved with her, she didn't care what anyone did!

However, Wu Zhaodi's outburst today has reignited Ye Nuan's hatred.

She needs to hurry up and move all the little stashes of money she knows about.

Heaven has been so kind to her; if she couldn't do something for herself, she would be letting herself down.

The next day, Gu Hanchuan came again, this time with officers from the police station.

Li Xiu was completely dumbfounded.

What did I do wrong?

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. The officers from the police station are here to investigate a case and would like to ask for the cooperation of Comrades Ye Nuan and Ye Feng."

Li Xiu nodded blankly: "Oh! Wait a minute. Ye Feng, Nuan Nuan! You two come out quickly, Comrade Gu wants to see you."

After exchanging a few words in the courtyard, Ye Feng and Ye Nuan went to the police station together.

Since it was still early, Ye Feng could only ask Li Xiu to ask for leave on his behalf.

Around ten o'clock, the two finally came out.

Ye Feng and Ye Nuan have done a good job. Wang Lao Er confessed everything. He said that he was dissatisfied with the punishment he received from his superiors, and that someone was secretly stirring things up, which is why he had this idea.

As for the robber on the other road, he was in cahoots with Wang Lao Er. The difference was that he was responsible for dismantling some firecrackers and then supplying them to his supplier.

As a result, the scheme was exposed, the supplier fled, and he and Wang Lao Er were caught.

"We will inform your factory and school about this incident and commend you for your actions."

"Thank you, comrade. This is what we should do."

When Ye Feng heard that a letter of commendation would be written to the factory, he felt as happy as if he had eaten honey. At least his efforts had not been in vain. It was just a pity about the box of things he had acquired.

"Don't worry, those things are irrelevant to this case and are not considered evidence. You can take them with you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's smile became even more genuine.

His semiconductors!

There's finally hope.

Gu Hanchuan has also made meritorious contributions, and they will send a letter to the military to commend him, which will help Gu Hanchuan's promotion.

"This case seems to be closed, but the mastermind has escaped, so we can't let our guard down. We have received definite information that the other party has fled Anshi, but we are unsure whether they will return, so you two need to be extra careful."

On the way back, Ye Feng stood between Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan, afraid that his sister would be taken advantage of again.

"Brother, if you don't hurry up, you might as well skip work this morning! Get going!"

Ye Feng snorted angrily: "You heartless little brat! Let me tell you, you two are only dating now, don't let this man take advantage of you."

Ye Nuan blushed. What kind of talk was that?!

After walking slowly for a while, Ye Nuan thought of the farce from last night and decided to tell her everything.

Gu Hanchuan frowned the whole time, completely unable to understand Wu Xingbang's sister's actions.

"Gu Hanchuan, I'm telling you all this so you know the whole story, so that no one will spread unfounded rumors in front of you again. I did meet Comrade Wu Xingbang once, but only once. As for why I didn't choose him as my partner, I've already told you the reason. I don't want any misunderstandings between us."

Gu Hanchuan nodded. "I understand."

Ye Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. Some things still needed to be made clear to prevent that Aunt Huang from causing trouble again.

As soon as the two arrived at the alley entrance, they saw Aunt Huang leading her daughter out with great enthusiasm.

Gu Hanchuan hadn't been wearing his military uniform for the past few days, so Aunt Huang had no idea he was also a soldier. When she passed by the two of them, Aunt Huang looked quite smug.

"Hey, Ye Nuan's back! Our Er Ya is going on a blind date. I heard Comrade Wu is already a platoon leader. Let's make this clear: don't come back to us later, or Er Ya won't allow it!"
