A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 76

Chen Ting spotted Gu Chengfeng immediately. To be fair, he was strikingly handsome in a crowd. Tall, upright, and possessing an extraordinary aura, his cold “iceberg” face paired with that military-green overcoat made him look more dashing than a model on a movie poster.

“Brother-in-law! Over here!” Chen Ting waved her hand eagerly.

When Gu Chengfeng saw her, the expression on his face grew even gloomier. “It’s you…”

He tightened his grip on the note in his hand. The paper said that Shen Sisi was in danger and urged him to come to the South City Supply and Marketing Cooperative immediately. The person who delivered it was a girl he didn’t recognize. He had been suspicious, but the moment he thought Sisi’s safety might be at stake, he decided he’d rather go on a wild goose chase than risk her being hurt.

Now, seeing Chen Ting, his eyes turned cold. His gaze was like a pair of searchlights, constantly scanning the surroundings.

“Where is Sisi?”

Shen Sisi was nowhere to be seen. On second thought, with Feng Yanzhou accompanying her, how could anything happen to her? Gu Chengfeng realized he had been tricked. He glared at Chen Ting with a warning look. “Whatever game you’re playing, you’d better confess right now, or you’ll regret it!”

Chen Ting’s heart skipped a beat; he had terrified her. “W-what game could I be playing? I’m Shen Sisi’s cousin; of course I’m concerned about her safety.”

She began to recount what she had seen, adding plenty of “oil and vinegar” to the story.

“Sisi has always liked attracting bees and butterflies since she was a child; she’s never lacked men around her. I thought that since she married a young and promising Regiment Commander like you, she would settle down. I didn’t expect…”

“In broad daylight, she’s actually parading through the streets with a man. The two of them were acting so flirtatious—honestly, if she has the nerve to do it, I barely have the face to talk about it.”

“That’s why… I sent someone to give you the message, so you could get over here quickly.”

“Flirting with men is one thing, but if that man is a bad person and tricks Sisi or does something to her, I, as her cousin, couldn’t bear to see it…”

Since being humiliated by them last time, Chen Ting didn’t dare be too arrogant. She kept claiming she was worried about Sisi, but every word was a soft knife, implying that Shen Sisi was “stealing” a man and making Gu Chengfeng a cuckold.

Gu Chengfeng thought it was something serious. This was it?

He let out a mocking, cold laugh. “Then did you see clearly who the man beside her is?”

“I don’t know him, but he’s quite young—a ‘pretty boy’ type. He was… also wearing a military overcoat,” Chen Ting said, feigning concern.

Gu Chengfeng watched her act with silent disdain written across his face. Not only would Sisi never cheat, but even if what Chen Ting said were true, that “pretty boy” in the military coat wouldn’t be anyone else; it could only be that fellow Feng Yanzhou.

To dare start rumors about my wife and my brother… just you wait.

Seeing him unmoved, Chen Ting grew desperate. She had made all these moves specifically so he could catch them in the act; she couldn’t let this good show go to waste.

“Anyway, don’t ask so much. They just went into the cooperative. Who knows, she might be using your money and your coupons to buy things for that pretty boy!” She fueled the fire as she led Gu Chengfeng toward the entrance.

Gu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, a dangerous hint of killing intent flickering in them as he strode into the shop.

Inside the cooperative, Feng Yanzhou had already tried on seven or eight pairs of shoes. After looking them over, the first pair was still the best. The style was simple, they felt soft on the feet, and they had a thin fleece lining—perfectly warm for winter.

“Sister-in-law, let’s go with these!” Feng Yanzhou told the clerk to wrap them up.

Seeing how Feng Yanzhou had exhausted the salesclerk, Sisi couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, these it is! As long as you like them. You can take them back with you in a bit.”

“They’re for me? Not for Old Gu?” Feng Yanzhou’s heart gave a little jolt. If that “King of Jealousy” found out, would he ever hear the end of it?

Sisi pointed to the burn mark on his leather shoe. “Cheng Biao ruined your shoes; consider this my responsibility.”

He had thought it was something major. “It’s a small thing; don’t be so formal with me.”

“I think you’re the one being formal.” Sisi brooked no argument as she pulled out the shoe coupon to pay. “If you don’t accept them, I’m going to be angry.”

Feng Yanzhou really had no way to win against her. He hefted the shoe box, knowing this was Sisi’s sincere gesture, and smiled. “Then… thank you.”

As he finally accepted them, Sisi was smiling, but she suddenly felt a chill. She looked toward the entrance of the cooperative. Standing by the doorframe was a familiar figure.

Gu Chengfeng?

She quickly noticed Chen Ting beside him, and the smile on her face froze. Why are they together?

Gu Chengfeng and Chen Ting stood at the entrance, silently watching the scene inside.

Gu Chengfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the annoyance in his heart. “Is this the man you were talking about?” His gaze was like electricity, making Chen Ting tremble.

Chen Ting sensed the atmosphere was wrong, but she didn’t have time to think. “Yes! That’s him!”

Gu Chengfeng let out a soft, cold laugh and strode into the shop.

Seeing him appear so suddenly, Sisi was first stunned and then broke into a surprised smile. Just as she was about to greet him, Gu Chengfeng gave her a secret look, making her swallow her words instantly.

Feng Yanzhou also sensed the weirdness. He turned around with the shoe box and came face-to-face with Gu Chengfeng’s sour expression. “Old Gu? Aren’t you supposed to be at the military exercise? Why are you here?”

Gu Chengfeng stood there without a word, a dark aura surrounding him like the eve of a storm.

Seeing him “angry,” Chen Ting acted like a triumphant hen, strutting in and pointing at Sisi and Feng Yanzhou. “Brother-in-law, see? I was right. These two are here enjoying themselves!”

“This Shen Sisi is using your money and your coupons to buy shoes for this pretty boy!”

Gu Chengfeng gave Chen Ting a cold look before approaching Shen Sisi. His steps were steady and powerful, each one seemingly treading on the heartstrings of everyone present. The air around them felt frozen.

Standing right in front of her, Gu Chengfeng looked down at her, his voice deep and cool: “What’s going on?”

Shen Sisi was a bit confused, her mind spinning from Chen Ting’s accusations of “pretty boys” and “enjoying themselves.”

“Brother Feng’s shoes were ruined, so we came to buy a new pair. But you—how did you end up with Chen Ting?”

The corners of Gu Chengfeng’s tightened mouth opened slightly. “That’s a question for your cousin!”

“I don’t know what kind of fit she’s throwing, but she sent word to the barracks saying you were in danger.”

“I’d like to ask her myself: I entrusted my brother to accompany my wife to the cooperative to buy some things. Exactly what ‘danger’ was there?”

The moment those words were spoken, it was as if Chen Ting had been struck by lightning. She stood rooted to the spot. She never imagined it would end like this.

This “pretty boy” was actually his brother!

She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. It turned out the clown was herself all along!
