Chapter 1123: Chapter 1135: Not Close with Him
Sun Lufang rubbed her hands, gave an awkward smile, and looked around. It was nearing noon, and some of the sisters-in-law were heading home with vegetables they had bought from the small store.
Mu Xingfeng’s Building No. 1 was at the very front, so those sisters-in-law would inevitably pass by here on their way home. Some came over to say hello, while others deliberately avoided them, but their eyes kept darting over.
Sun Lufang felt her face burning as she thought that this Captain Mu’s family member was quite young. She had already said it to this extent, how come she didn’t invite her inside to speak?
You know, even though she apologized over the broadcast this morning, it didn’t require facing anyone. Reading from the script, by the end, she didn’t feel much about it.
But this was different. Those sisters-in-law passing by were the ones she usually sat with, and a few were the ones she spread rumors to yesterday. Letting them see her now felt like standing naked in front of them.
Sun Lufang gritted her teeth and finally said, "Why don’t I come over to your place and sit for a bit? It’s just us three at home, no rush to cook."
With that, she was about to head into the residential building.
"Sister-in-law Sun, as you can see, I have guests today. It’s not convenient to entertain any visitors. If you have something to say, let’s do it here. Once we’re done talking, you should head back to cook. Even with fewer people, you still need to eat."
An Ran stood in place and said plainly.
Sun Lufang hesitated and withdrew her steps. Seeing Jing Xiangyang and Lin Junyang holding vegetables but not going upstairs showed clearly they wanted her to apologize to An Ran here. So, she had no choice but to brace herself and walk up to An Ran.
"Little An, you must have heard this morning, right? All those things I said were from my heart. I was confused before, blinded by foolishness, and thought you and Guard Liu had something unusual, which was my own petty mind..."
"Sister-in-law, since you know in your heart what happened, there’s no need to say more," An Ran interrupted Sun Lufang.
"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. An Ran, can you forgive me? I truly realize my mistake and won’t gossip recklessly again. If it would make you feel better, hit me or scold me, just please forgive me. Over this, my husband got angry with me, saying if you don’t forgive me, he would send me back to my hometown. An Ran, considering we’re from the same area, please forgive me this once."
As she finished, tears started falling from Sun Lufang’s eyes, showing she was truly anxious.
An Ran stood in front of her and calmly said, "I understand, sister-in-law. You can go back now. Tell Captain Li I’ve forgiven you."
As for the future, once Mu Xingfeng transfers to the Imperial City, Captain Li will also be transferred to S Province, and there won’t be any interactions between them anymore.
Hearing An Ran’s words, Sun Lufang nodded repeatedly in thanks, wiping tears as she returned to Building No. 5.
Xiao Xiao watched Sun Lufang’s retreating figure and scoffed, "If she knew it would end this way, why did she start it?"
"Let’s go. She’s an irrelevant person after all. Don’t let her ruin our mood," Although this matter made her somewhat disgusted, An Ran didn’t really take it to heart, probably because she subconsciously knew Mu Xingfeng would resolve it thoroughly.
As September approached, the Special Training Team candidates started arriving in Nan’an, and Mu Xingfeng got busy.
The Imperial City is located in a plain area. Although there are small hills around it, they can’t compare to the mountains and forests of C Province.
