Zou Ju and Bai Feifei separated after walking for a while. One of them pondered over the other's intentions while heading back. By the time she returned to the family courtyard, she had almost thought it through.
Therefore, when she met the first person, Zou Ju began to spread the news that Sheng Fenghua had met a rich man in the city, and she had come back in his car.
Women always liked to spread gossip, let alone one who had nothing to do all day.
So, in less than half an hour, the news of Sheng Fenghua coming back in a rich man's car once again spread throughout the entire courtyard.
Sheng Fenghua had no idea about it, though. At this time, she was cooking for Si Zhanbei at home. Since she had promised to make dinner every day, she would not be careless.
She cooked a pot of rice and made three dishes. One was stir-fried pork with green peppers, one was tomato and egg soup, and one was garlic and green vegetables.
She was very fast and finished it in half an hour. Then, she waited at home for Si Zhanbei to come back.
However, it had already been half an hour since Si Zhanbei got off work, but she still did not see him. Sheng Fenghua planned to go take a look and ask others to see what he was busy with.
However, just as she opened the door, she heard a conversation coming from the stairs. One of them was Zou Ju, and the other was Si Zhanbei.
Zou Ju said to Si Zhanbei, "Battalion Commander Si, you have to take good care of your family's Fenghua."
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Si Zhanbei heard Zou Ju's words and asked indifferently, thinking that Sheng Fenghua had done something out of the ordinary again.
"Battalion Commander Si, I'm saying this for your own good. I'm telling you, Fenghua has somehow met a rich man in the city. You have to keep an eye on her."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Si Zhanbei's face darkened, and his voice turned colder. He hated it when people spoke ill of Sheng Fenghua.
"Aiya, Commander Si, I'm not spouting nonsense. I saw her come back in a small car with my own eyes today. I'm telling you, the one driving the car was a handsome young man. The two of them were also talking and laughing so happily."
"Really?" Si Zhanbei's eyes flashed, and he wondered who was the one who sent Sheng Fenghua back.
Zou Ju observed him, thinking that Si Zhanbei believed her words. So she continued, "Commander Si, don't doubt me. Not only did I, even doctor Bai saw it. But she saw the other party come to pick up Sheng Fenghua, and I saw the other party send her back."
"I got it. If that is all, I'll go home first." Si Zhanbei nodded and prepared to go upstairs.
There were some things that one might as well ask Sheng Fenghua directly after listening to others.
Unexpectedly, Zou Ju once again blocked his way and continued to persuade him, "Battalion Commander Si, don't blame Sister-in-law for being nosy. You really have to take good care of her. Otherwise, if she runs away with someone else one day, it'll be too late for you to regret it."
"Sister-in-law, mind your words. Fenghua isn't that kind of person."
"Battalion Commander Si, you're the only one who trusts her so much. You can't judge a book by its cover. Who doesn't know that your family's Sheng Fenghua came from the countryside? What kind of clothes did she wear in the past? However, the dress she wore today was not cheap. Maybe it was bought by the man who sent her back."
"Sister-in-law!" Si Zhanbei's voice grew louder. He glanced at Zou Ju coldly and said, "You've misunderstood. I bought Fenghua's clothes for her yesterday."
