Chapter 594: Extremely Surprising News

Even until the end, Gu Qingjiu didn’t manage to figure out who the birthday banquet’s main lead was.

Of course, the greatest likelihood was that man.

But He Niancheng didn’t introduce him to Gu Qingjiu, and neither party interacted with the other, so Gu Qingjiu didn’t ask.

Throughout the birthday banquet, she and He Niancheng sat quietly by the side.

Nobody dared to come and bother them.

When it was more or less time, He Niancheng left with Gu Qingjiu.

Noon was just over, and He Niancheng was going to send Gu Qingjiu back to school.

On the way there, Gu Qingjiu didn’t ask about the birthday banquet. She bought a pack of tidbits and ate it in the car.

“… Let’s head to Bao’er’s place first. I need to get my military uniform from her.”

Her military uniform was still with her. She wanted to ask Bao’er to bring it to her, but the latter had been busy.

It was on the way for her to retrieve it.

He Niancheng sent her to Yu Bao’er’s rented apartment first as she had requested.

Yu Bao’er happened to be at home at this hour.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu, she was both surprised and shocked. “Qingjiu, what brings you here?”

“I came to retrieve my uniform. Did you get your clothes back?”

She went away in Yu Bao’er’s clothes previously, and subsequently, she had someone deliver it back.

“Yeah. I washed your military uniform for you, too.”

Seeing Gu Qingjiu come here to collect her uniform, Yu Bao’er hurriedly went in to get it for her. But she couldn’t help making a dig at her.

“Is your school so stingy? Can’t they give out a few more sets of uniforms to students?”

Gu Qingjiu laughed helplessly. “It’s not that the school is stingy, but we can’t get new sets without any reason. Surely I couldn’t have said that I stayed outside the entire night and left my uniform in someone else’s home?”

“Hehe, you can say you stayed out the entire night at a woman’s home. See what the higher-ups in your school will say about that.”

Yu Bao’er handed her clothes to her and asked, “Aren’t you staying for a while? Although I have classes in the afternoon, I can play truant if you stay.”

“Forget it. You should go to class. I need to return to school, anyway. I only came out because I have something on.”

“What?” Yu Bao’er cast a suspicious look at Gu Qingjiu. “Surely you didn’t just come out to get this uniform?”

“Of course not.”

Gu Qingjiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But she couldn’t explain herself either.

Yu Bao’er nodded. “Got it. Eh, by the way, I need to tell you something…”

Gu Qingjiu responded with an ‘Mm’ then gazed curiously towards Yu Bao’er. “What?”

Yu Bao’er had a rare hesitant look on her face. “Do you still remember that Feng Meiyun whom we trained together with at the camp?”

It was impossible for Gu Qingjiu not to have an impression of her.

She certainly had a deep impression of a person like Feng Meiyun. However, she wasn’t a person who was worthy of leaving a trace in the depths of her heart.

“Mm. Of course. What about her?”

Since Yu Bao’er mentioned her, the matter must concern Feng Meiyun.

Yu Bao’er said with a sigh, “I don’t know how to put it. I heard from a friend in the Dayi City military camp that Feng Meiyun was recently forced to discharge from the army. They said that she went away to marry a man. She came from a farming family in the rural area, and she had a younger brother. Feng Meiyun refused to oblige, so her mother locked her up at home.”

“She lived on the second story. When she tried to escape, she accidentally lost her footing and fell from the balcony. Her head landed on the ground first, and she died on the spot…”
