Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 112: Beijing Shrew Causes Trouble in Public, Regiment Commander Husband Powerfully Defends His Wife!
The heavily powdered face moved closer, eyes full of malicious intrigue.
"Lin Wan Yi, which nouveau riche did you marry?"
"You’re dressed decently, but carrying two burdens. Life must be worse than back at the Lin Family, right?"
Mrs. Zhang’s voice was sharp and loud, deliberately raised by eight octaves.
Passersby cast curious glances their way.
Gu Lan was so furious her face turned red. She clutched Gu An tightly, wanting to confront her.
Lin Wan Yi, however, reached out to stop her.
She didn’t respond immediately, just lowered her head and adjusted the small blanket on Gu Ning’s swaddle.
Her movements were unhurried, her demeanor calm.
Then, she looked up.
And smiled.
"Mrs. Zhang, you have such a good memory."
Lin Wan Yi’s voice was calm, as if discussing the weather.
"The day my father got into trouble, you brought a truckload of people to the Lin Family, claiming to visit but actually there to take things, weren’t you?"
"I remember you were particularly fond of my mother’s pair of jade bracelets."
"You slipped them into the pocket of your blue coat when you left."
Mrs. Zhang’s face turned pale instantly.
"You’re talking nonsense!"
She screamed, her voice changing pitch.
"That was... your mother willingly gave those to me!"
Lin Wan Yi ignored her.
"And the Qi Baishi painting in the study, you said you were keeping it safe, yet the next day it appeared in your living room."
"Oh, right."
Lin Wan Yi tilted her head, as if recalling.
"You also advised me, saying ’smart people adapt, hurry and find someone to marry, and don’t cause trouble for the family’."
"Looking back, Mrs. Zhang’s advice was quite correct."
"I did get married."
The crowd around them started looking at Mrs. Zhang differently.
Whispers filled the air.
"So she took advantage of the situation..."
"And she dares to come out and act all mighty?"
Mrs. Zhang’s face turned from white to green, then to purple.
"You... you..."
She trembled with rage, suddenly pushing open the car door and storming out in high heels.
"Lin Wan Yi! Who do you think you are!"
"A stray dog kicked out by her family, yet you dare to challenge me here?"
"Do you still think you’re the young lady of the Lin Family? You’re nothing!"
She became more agitated, her finger almost jabbing Lin Wan Yi’s face.
"Let me tell you, Beijing is my turf!"
"If you dare spread rumors outside and ruin my reputation..."
Before she could finish.
A hand suddenly reached out from the side.
Firmly, it gripped her wrist.
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment.
In the next second, a sharp pain erupted from her wrist.
"Ah—"
She screamed miserably.
Gu Yanshen had somehow gotten out of the car.
His tall figure stood like a wall in front of Lin Wan Yi.
He didn’t speak.
He simply looked down at Mrs. Zhang.
Those eyes, dark without a trace of light.
Like an abyss.
Like a tomb.
Facing those eyes, Mrs. Zhang’s mind went blank with a "buzz".
She had met all kinds of people.
Officials, businessmen, even military commanders.
But never had anyone given her the feeling of death with just a look.
That wasn’t an act.
It was someone who had truly seen blood, killed, and emerged from a sea of corpses and blood.
Her legs began to weaken.
"Old... Old Zhang..."
She trembled, seeking help from her husband.
From the red-flagged car, a middle-aged man with glasses finally panicked, pushing open the car door.
"Comrade! Comrade, please release her! Let’s talk this over!"
He tried to approach with a smile.
Xiao Yang swiftly stepped in front of him.
"Stop right there."
Xiao Yang took out a credential from his pocket and opened it with a snap.
"National Defense University advanced student, Gu Yanshen, military rank: regiment level."
"Ordered to Beijing for senior officer training."
"Currently, someone is publicly insulting a military family member and making verbal threats."
"According to regulations, I have the authority to take the troublemaker back for military court processing."
Xiao Yang’s voice wasn’t loud.
But each word was like a nail driven into that official’s heart.
Military rank, regiment level. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
National Defense University, advanced student.
With someone like this, not even a district committee office division-level cadre like him.
Even if their bureau chief came, he would have to politely address him as "Commander".
His face turned ghostly pale.
"It’s a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding!"
He rushed over, pushing aside Mrs. Zhang and directly slapped her.
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap exploded on the street.
Everyone around was stunned.
Mrs. Zhang clutched her face, looking at her husband in disbelief.
"Old Zhang, you..."
"Shut up!"
The official’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He turned around and gave Gu Yanshen a ninety-degree bow.
"Commander! I’m sorry!"
"It’s my lack of discipline! I let my wife offend you and your sister-in-law!"
"I’ll take her back right away, lock her up, and make her reflect properly!"
"Please, be the bigger person and don’t hold it against us!"
As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Zhang a slap.
"Apologize to the Commander and the sister-in-law!"
Only then did Mrs. Zhang realize.
Her face stung painfully, and tears flowed.
"I’m... I’m sorry..."
She said, trembling.
"I... I was wrong..."
"I shouldn’t have... shouldn’t have spoken out of turn..."
Only then did Gu Yanshen release his grip.
He didn’t even spare her a glance.
He turned and opened the back door of the jeep.
"Get in the car."
He said to Lin Wanyi.
His voice was low, yet there was no room for doubt.
Lin Wanyi, holding Gu Ning, quietly got in.
Gu Lan hurried to follow, carrying Gu An into the car.
The little girl’s eyes were bright with excitement.
"Brother! You’re amazing!"
"How come I never realized how handsome you are!"
"You’re simply the best in the world!"
She was so excited she was speechless.
Xiao Yang started the car.
The jeep drove away smoothly.
Leaving behind Mrs. Zhang, her face swollen like a pig’s head, and her husband, still bowing and apologizing repeatedly.
The surrounding crowd pointed and talked.
"Serves her right!"
"That’s exactly how she should be dealt with!"
In the car, there was a brief silence.
Gu Lan kept chirping excitedly.
"Brother, that look you gave just now was really frightening!"
"I was scared on her behalf!"
"And Brother Xiao, the way you took out your ID, it was brilliant!"
Lin Wanyi didn’t speak.
She just turned her head to look at Gu Yanshen, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
The man sat straight as a rod, watching the street scene swiftly recede outside the window.
The outline of his profile remained tense.
Lin Wanyi hugged the child in her arms more tightly.
Her heart felt warm.
The car turned two corners.
A gray-walled large compound came into view.
Two armed guards stood at the gate.
"We’re here."
Xiao Yang slowed the car down.
"Gu Family Mansion."
The car came to a slow stop.
The gate was wide open.
In the yard, on the steps.
An elderly man in an old military uniform stood, hands behind his back.
His hair was gray, but his back was straight as an arrow.
Deep wrinkles marked his face, but his eyes were dazzlingly bright.
Gu Zhen Guo.
Gu Yanshen’s father.
He stood there, eyes as sharp as a hawk, sweeping over everyone in the jeep.
Finally, they landed on Lin Wanyi.
On the child in her arms.
The air inside the car suddenly became tense.
Gu Lan instinctively held her breath.
Gu Yanshen opened the car door and got out.
"Dad."
He stood straight, saluting.
Gu Zhen Guo did not respond.
He didn’t even lift an eyelid.
His gaze remained fixed on Lin Wanyi.
Lin Wanyi holding the child got out of the car too.
She didn’t dodge.
Nor did she show any fear.
She just calmly looked at the man who was said to be iron-willed and ruthless.
Time seemed to stand still.
Just then.
"Oh my!"
A sharp female voice suddenly came from inside the house.
Followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
A middle-aged woman in a dark blue Lenin suit came rushing out like a whirlwind.
She didn’t even look at Gu Zhen Guo standing on the steps.
Nor did she look at her own son.
She went straight to Lin Wanyi.
Pushing Gu Yanshen aside.
"Move, move!"
Her eyes were red.
Her voice was trembling.
"My Fairy Daughter-in-Law!"
"You’re finally back!"
"Let Mom take a look!"
