Lin Manrou's face changed drastically. Jiang Youtao, who was listening at the wall, suddenly brightened up.
Hey, elk, Lin Manrou is quite good at playing.
"Han Shen, what do you mean by this? What elk? Why don't I understand what you are saying?" Lin Manrou's voice trembled unconsciously.
In the 80s and 90s, there was a very famous club in the capital called Paradise on Earth.
Lin Manrou had worked there for a long time. Her stage name was Milu. She looked delicate and lovely, and she tried her best to wear light makeup. Among her peers who wore heavy makeup, she was as fresh and attractive as a jasmine. Her stage name stood out from the crowd of Lili, Fangfang, and Lulu. It was special and easy to remember. (TL: Elk in chinese/mandarin is Mílù)
Foreign festivals were popular at that time and her name was always mentioned.
During her two most prosperous years, she had to accept at least two big clients a day. They were all upper-class people who paid quickly and were not perverted. She could earn at least thousands of dollars for each time she accompanied them.
She actually made a lot of money in those two years, but people tend to get carried away once they have money.
Those years were also the time when foreign businessmen entered the country in large numbers, and she took the money and became Miss Lin in the mouths of those foreign brands.
She bought many, many luxury goods amidst the calls of "Miss Lin", the flattery, and the phone calls from the salespeople every time new products came into the store.
Later, when she got older, there were a lot of girls who were prettier and more talented than her, and her popularity became worse and worse. Before she fell ill, she had been relegated to the bottom of the class.
The luxury items she had bought gradually depreciated in value because she had no appreciation for them, and eventually became a pile of waste. When she was sick, she wanted to sell them to pay for medical treatment, but she couldn't.
But these things were all in her past life, and she was now a completely new person. How did Gu Hanshen know that her name was once Milu?
Is it a coincidence? Lin Manrou hopes it is a coincidence and prays it is a coincidence.
"What do you think?" Gu Hanshen let go of Lin Manrou's neck, stood up straight, and tugged at the collar of his winter military uniform under his military coat.
"Lin Manrou, I don't have time to waste on you. I know exactly where you came from and what you want to do. All you can do now is to obediently get the divorce certificate from me and move out of my house."
Gu Hanshen hated Lin Manrou, this woman, for ruining his life, and he would not let this happen again.
He would rather be single and lonely until he dies than have anything to do with a woman like Lin Manrou again.
The sight of her face made him want to vomit.
Lin Manrou sat up, covering her neck, and looked at Gu Hanshen as if he was a monster. Suddenly, tears fell.
She was not a fool, she knew that in Gu Hanshen's situation, he must have been reborn.
She was unwilling to accept it, she hated and resented, why did they let her be reborn, and why did they let Gu Hanshen be reborn as well!
She didn't want to divorce Gu Hanshen. From her rebirth till now, she had never thought about divorcing Gu Hanshen. She couldn't imagine what kind of life she would take if she really divorced Gu Hanshen.
She stopped quibbling and didn't dare to play dumb. She slid down from the kang, knelt in front of Gu Hanshen, and pulled his military pants: "Hanshen, don't do this. I know I was wrong, I was so wrong. Can't we live a good life? I promise that I will behave myself in the future."
She has been specially trained, and even the tears that flow and the angles of her crying are carefully trained, making her look beautiful and pretty.
Such a scene has appeared in Gu Hanshen's dreams countless times. At that time, he felt so distressed that she cried, and now he feels so disgusted.
"Be obedient? Miss Elk, do you think you can do it? Can your body listen to you?" Lin Manrou's body in the dream was extremely sensitive. Sometimes she would tremble with fear at the slightest touch from him.
She had sex more frequently, sometimes two or three times a day to be satisfied. He once took her to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that this was a rare mental illness called sex addiction, and the causes of the disease were many and could not be determined.
The doctor also said that the possibility of curing this disease is extremely low and it can only be treated slowly.
Gu Hanshen felt extremely distressed. He felt sorry for her for having to suffer from this strange disease at such a young age that could not be told to anyone. He did not allow anyone in the family to say a harsh word to her. Gu Hanqing and his son Gu Zhao were warned by him from time to time.
Ridiculous or not? This disease is actually Lin Manrou's occupational disease.
For money and pleasure, she had gradually distorted her body into that state. When he was actively treating her illness, she did not restrain herself at all.
Gu Hanshen thought that he must be ridiculous in her eyes, being played around by her and unable to sleep because of her illness.
Lin Manrou's face was abnormally flushed. She was wearing little, and the cold wind could not cool her body.
The sarcasm in Gu Hanshen's eyes became more and more intense.
Lin Manrou looked at Gu Hanshen who was looking down on her and suddenly became very angry. She forced herself to stand up by holding onto the kang, despite her weak body.
"Gu Hanshen, what gives you the right to be so high and mighty? It's all your fault that I've become like this." Lin Manrou stopped pretending and revealed her true emotions.
Gu Hanshen had also heard this sentence in his dream.
He even remembered what she said next.
"I didn't want to marry you at first, but you said you were satisfied with me, and my parents forced me to marry you. On the wedding night, you left before the night was over. Do you know how people laughed at me at home?"
"People say I'm a barren woman and useless. My husband didn't even want to spend our wedding night with me."
"You left. What else did you give me besides your allowance? You never said a soft word to me. The letters you wrote back were always filled with harsh words."
"They say a husband is a husband only if he is within ten feet. Calculate for yourself how far you are from me! I'm still young, and I'm living like a widow. You don't want to accompany me, and you don't allow me to find someone to accompany me?"
The words and sentences are in the same order as in the dream, which shows how true this sentence is.
Gu Hanshen laughed angrily: "Lin Manrou, don't impose your problems on me."
"When the blind date ended that day, you were the first to ask me if I was satisfied. After I said I was satisfied, did you ever refuse? Even if I, Gu Hanshen, am no longer a human being, I have never forced a woman."
"What is your mouth for? Are you dumb? When the matchmaker came to your house to propose marriage, did you say to them that you would rather die than to marry me?"
"Why didn't we have a happy wedding night? It was you who kicked me off the bed. You didn't forget it, did you?"
"Let me think about why you kicked me off the bed. Oh, it was because of your first love, Huang Jiawei, right? You stayed pure for him? Then why didn't you keep it to yourself? What about Gong Xubo?"
"What about me? Who am I?" Gu Hanshen pinched Lin Manrou's chin and looked straight into her eyes with his sharp eyes.
"Lin Manrou, what I hate most in my life is betrayal." He pushed Lin Manrou's face away, leaving two fingerprints on her cheek.
Lin Manrou had never seen Gu Hanshen like this before. In her memory, Gu Hanshen had many different looks: elegant and refined, high-spirited, calm and composed when they just got married, and suppressed his anger when divorcing her.
But none of those things frightened her as much as Gu Hanshen did now.
She was so refuted by Gu Hanshen that she couldn't say a word.
"I won't divorce you, Gu Hanshen. I'm just going to cheat on you for the rest of my life. If you have the guts, go tell others that I was reborn and lived an extra life. I cheated on you over and over again in my last life, go tell them."
Lin Manrou would not give up Gu Hanshen easily. Marriage in the military was not easy, but divorce was even more difficult. As long as she did not agree to divorce, she would cry, make a scene, or even hang herself if the organization came to do something about her. The army could not do anything to her, and Gu Hanshen could not do anything to him either.
He may not live with her, but as his wife, she can enjoy the benefits of his status.
She didn't believe that Gu Hanshen would be so bold as to say that they were both living a new life.
She was sure he wouldn't dare. It was so unbelievable. Who would believe it if she told others? These days, feudal superstitions have been cracked down on. Resurrection from the dead, isn't that feudal superstition enough?
Gu Hanshen looked at Lin Manrou's smug face and snorted, "You think I'm afraid? Lin Manrou, you underestimate me. Compared to living with you in this nightmare, I would rather tell others about my rebirth, be interrogated and questioned every day, than be with a fickle woman like you."
"I am a person who values fairness the most. Since I have already confessed to my superiors that I am a reborn person, how could I let you go? We should share weal and woe, right?"
"Besides, isn't this what you dreamed of?"
Lin Manrou looked at Gu Hanshen as if he were a madman: "You actually said all that, are you crazy?"
Gu Hanshen uttered a sigh.
He was born in 1949, when New China was just founded. He joined the army in 1965, when China was facing internal and external troubles. But even in such a difficult period, during the three years of major natural disasters, when ordinary people were looking for tree roots and eating Guanyin soil, the food and drink of these soldiers were never reduced.
In that era, many people who could not afford to eat joined the army. Their wishes were very simple: they joined the army just to have a meal.
He came from that era, and his comrades-in-arms around him fought bravely on the battlefield one after another for the betterment of China.
He was reborn and knew the developments in the next twenty years. Of course he wanted to serve his country. He had no other wish in his life, only to make the motherland that gave birth to him and raised him prosperous and never suffer the humiliation he had suffered before.
The reason why he came back after such a long time after his rebirth was that he was undergoing investigation, layer by layer of investigation. It was not until two days ago that he was allowed to go home to deal with matters with Lin Manrou.
In the small Zao Township, at least one company of soldiers was lying in ambush inside and outside Xingfu Lane. His conversation with Lin Manrou had already been recorded.
Everything Gu Hanshen did and every word he said since he entered the door were what he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, and were also meant to elicit Lin Manrou's admission that she was a reborn person.
"Lin Manrou, people like you probably don't know what it means to die for your country, right?"
Jiang Youtao, who had heard the whole thing, was lying on Old Lady Zhang's kang and was a little overwhelmed by this sudden reversal.
She originally thought that Gu Hanshen was a not-so-skillful male protagonist, but from the moment he entered the room, he put on condoms one after another and trapped Lin Manrou under the condoms, unable to get out.
Awesome, my ex-husband.
