Chapter 317

Jiang Danhung smelled the food from the dining hall well ahead of time. Now that she saw the noodles in front of her, her stomach grumbled loudly.

She picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks, not caring about how hot they were. Her eyes lit up immediately.It was delicious!The noodles had a nice reddish color that was very appetizing. The pork was tender and tasty. The other ingredients also complemented it very well.She devoured the big bowl of noodles in less than 10 minutes.Seeing Tong Xuelu looking at her, Jiang Danhung blushed slightly. “Oh right, it’s Comrade Wan’s birthday tomorrow. I don’t know when you are meeting up with him, so can you give this to him for me, please?”As she spoke, she pulled the gift out. It was a fountain pen just like the one that she had given Tong Xuelu the previous time.It was a very appropriate gift.And she had Tong Xuelu pass it to Wen Rugui.Tong Xuelu’s lips curved. “Sure. I will be sure to get this to him. And I will thank you for him right now.”Jiang Danhung’s lips tightened a little. She paused for a little and then said, “The Lin’s father and son had been arrested. They were sentenced to 10 years and 8 years, respectively.”It took Tong Xuelu a little bit of time before she realized that Jiang Danhung was talking about her former father-in-law and ex-husband. “Congratulations. You can truly start your new life now.”What she didn’t want to say out loud was that she didn’t believe the Lin family would leave it at that.But she didn’t want to rain on Jiang Danhung’s parade right now.A sense of satisfaction flashed past Jiang Danhung’s eyes. “Thank you. It is getting late. I should return to my class.”Tong Xuelu nodded and walked her to the front entrance.As soon as the two walked out, they saw others peeking in their direction. They were quite surprised when they saw Jiang Danhung. “Oh mi, she wasn’t poisoned.” “She had gone inside for so long that I thought something must have happened to her.”Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes upon hearing that.Seeing that Tong Xuelu didn’t seem to be bothered by that, she ignored those people and returned to her school.***Tong Xuelu got up very early the next morning. She made a cake and then breakfast.She then told Tong Jiaming to drop Tong Mianmian off at the Wei’s before he headed out to school.Tong Jiaming acknowledged her but he was looked at the ground, as though there was something weighing down on him.Tong Jiaming paused for a little and asked, “Are you dating Big Brother Rugui?”Tong Xuelu nodded, “Yes.”Tong Jiaming twisted his hands that were by his sides. “Will you be getting married soon then?”Tong Xuelu finally realized what was bothering him. “Don’t worry. Even if I am to get married, I won’ abandon you. Stop worrying about all these things or they will stunt your growth!”Tong Jiaming, “……”Tong Xuelu went to clean up after she had said that.Her relationship with Wen Rugui had just started. Not to mention that this body had just turned 18. It was way too early to talk about marriage.Tong Jiaming finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw Tong Xuelu disappeared into the kitchen. A smile appeared on him.After she had changed, Tong Xuelu brought with her the cake that was still warm and the pork jerky that she had made a few days ago and left the house.She had already done her research on how to get to the base two days ago.She would need to swap transportation once in between. It would take her 3 ~4 hours if she was lucky.And if she wasn’t, that she had no idea how long it would take.Tong Xuelu even said her prayers when she took off. She prayed to all the deities that she could think of, including the western ones.And her praying paid off!A car came by as soon as she arrived at the station. She rode it for 1.5 hour before she got off at Hingyi Station. Then it was another half an hour wait before the car to the base pulled over.Tong Xuelu finally arrived at the base an hour later.
