Gu Dongxing then said, “If you want to buy something, you can catch a ride with the logistics supply truck into town.” After that, he hurried back to the troops.
Jiang Mengyu was pondering whether she was still suitable to continue staying here now that he had those kinds of thoughts about her.
After much contemplation, Jiang Mengyu decided to stay at Gu Dongxing’s place for the time being.
She had nowhere else to go, and in any case, whether she liked it or not, she was already saddled with the reputation of being Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, and it was safe here.
Given Gu Dongxing’s somewhat traditional character, she didn’t have to worry about him harboring any ill intentions towards her.
That night, she spent the whole evening practicing her cultivation. She felt that the Essence of Heaven and Earth in this large courtyard, although not comparable to what it was in the cave, was still quite good.
The next morning, Jiang Mengyu went to catch the logistics supply truck to town at the place Gu Dongxing had mentioned.
During these two days staying in Gu Dongxing’s house, soldiers were delivering meals to her every day. She felt that having others deliver meals was too much of a bother. But since she was penniless, she could only eat what the soldiers brought her.
Now with the one hundred yuan Gu Dongxing had given her, she wanted to look for some rice and flour to purchase so she could cook for herself.
Jiang Mengyu headed to the waiting area for the supply truck. There were already four family members there, chattering about something.
However, as soon as Jiang Mengyu approached, the family members closed their mouths, and a few of them even sized her up from head to toe.
Jiang Mengyu’s clothes were still the same treasured clothes pulled from her storage talisman, which she could change at will. Today, she had made the clothes resemble a set of contemporary top and bottom clothing. It was only somewhat more attractive than usual.
Fortunately, she had these treasured clothes from the storage talisman, which never attracted dust and still looked clean after a few days of wear.
However, she still needed to go to town to buy a few more sets of clothing. She felt that treasured clothes were not suitable for daily wear, so she planned not only to buy groceries today but also to shop for clothes.
Jiang Mengyu didn’t realize that the scene where she had thrown Ye Rushui out of the room had been witnessed by many families; she had been labeled a “wild girl” by people in the courtyard.
With a slight smile on her face, she greeted the several family members with a nod: “Hello, Mrs. Jiang.”
The family members quickly responded: “Hello.”
One young woman even replied: “Hello, Mrs. Jiang.”
Jiang Mengyu promptly corrected her: “I’m not married yet. My surname is Jiang, you can call me Jiang Mengyu.”
She couldn’t say that she wasn’t Gu Dongxing’s fiancée since that day, she had declared herself in a high-profile manner as Gu Dongxing’s fiancée and had tossed out Ye Rushui who had claimed to be Gu Dongxing’s girlfriend.
If she contradicted herself just two days later by claiming she wasn’t Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, wouldn’t that be slapping her own face?
Well, since she was already dubbed Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, whether she accepted it or not, she might as well go along with it.
Anyway, after ten days, her mother would come, and she would leave with her mother, never to return. She could leave this pretending to be the fiancée for Gu Dongxing to explain himself.
“So you are Mrs. Jiang. My last name is Qin, I’m Qin Xiufang, and my husband is Cheng Dahua, the Deputy Company Commander of the first battalion and second company.” The young woman didn’t dare address Jiang Mengyu informally; this was the regiment commander’s fiancée after all.
Suddenly, the other family members crowded around, one by one calling her “Mrs. Jiang,” which left Jiang Mengyu with no choice but to accept their enthusiastic titles.
Unbeknownst to her, she was actually basking in Ye Rushui’s limelight.
Ye Rushui had been in the courtyard for several days, always holding herself above the family members. She never interacted with them and often looked at them with disdain or even contempt.
However, since she was Gu Dongxing’s girlfriend, no one dared to confront her directly and kept their distance instead.
