Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Bai Fanglan Gets Married

Bai Fanglan’s wedding was held in a hotel near the military district, and it was quite lively. Looking around, more than half were wearing military uniforms, and the atmosphere was very solemn. Many leaders attended, most of whom knew Gu Junming, so naturally, greetings were exchanged upon meeting.

Wang Hu was over there greeting guests, and upon seeing Gu Junming, he was very warm. Although he was the groom, apart from a boutonniere on his chest, he wore nothing special, still clad in a military coat.

He enthusiastically shook hands with Gu Junming, "When are you returning to the quake zone?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"After the New Year. Are you going back?" Gu Junming replied.

"Yes. Isn’t it because of the New Year? I need to visit the soldiers staying in the disaster zone." Wang Hu specializes in ideological and political work, and such tasks are indeed more suitable for him. But this cannot compare to Gu Junming’s credentials.

He knew Gu Junming had earned more merits this time, feeling a burning urgency in his heart; if this continued, he would indeed lose. Even Yan Kai received a third-class merit this time, plus the previous accomplishment at Xiong’er Ridge, leaving Wang Hu at a disadvantage. Thinking of this, he lost all mood for the wedding.

The two talked briefly about the troop arrangements. Sun Chan didn’t speak, just smiled faintly, youthful and radiant.

Wang Hu glanced, found her quite pleasing to the eye, and glanced again, meeting Sun Chan’s gaze. Feeling a bit ill at ease, he realized staring wasn’t appropriate. She meant nothing by it, but worried others might misinterpret. After saying a few words to Gu Junming, he shifted his attention elsewhere.

After Wang Hu left, Sun Chan said to Gu Junming, "He doesn’t like me, does he? His eyes were fierce."

"No, he doesn’t know you. He’s the same with everyone. Cold, but actually, he’s okay." Gu Junming didn’t dwell on it, holding her hand, heading to the registration desk, where someone waited there to write down guest names and collect gifts.

Sun Chan put the money in a red envelope into the bag. They hurried to catch a ride; if not for Gu Zishan and others not coming, Gu Junming wouldn’t have attended, intending to leave shortly.

Bai Chuan was greeting some veteran cadres when he suddenly saw the pair and became instantly displeased, but greeted them with a smile anyway.

"Isn’t this Gu Junming? Heard you’ve done well in the quake zone."

"Thank you for your concern, sir." Gu Junming replied indifferently.

"Haven’t seen my granddaughter, have you? Come, she’d be delighted to see you!"

"No, it’s inconvenient for me now. She must be busy." Gu Junming said dryly and led Sun Chan away without exchanging more words.

Bai Chuan thought to himself, doesn’t know how to cultivate relationships, yet can be a battalion commander? Is the troop short-staffed? He looked down on Gu Junming from the bottom of his heart, thinking with Wang Hu’s family background, it was right for his granddaughter not to marry him! Moreover, this promotion required significant effort; he must ensure Wang Hu rises, having thought out a plan for Gu Junming.

Bai Chuan constantly watched, this time determined to find an opportunity to pin down Gu Junming! Toss him into a barren corner to endure! Let him be a deputy battalion commander for life! Bai Chuan felt smug as he walked away with large strides.

Meanwhile, Bai Fanglan was extremely unhappy, sitting in front of a mirror sulking.

As the bride, she was well-dressed, in a red coat and a bright red scarf, sitting there with the trendiest red flowers on her head, someone brushing her face with red rouge.
