Chapter 410

Wei Guozhi, “The re-union with your family cannot be this sloppy. Let’s host a banquet and celebrate tomorrow.”

Commander Xiao said, “I’ve given this some thought already. We must separate the kids from the Tong family back now. That being said, I would like two of the kids to retain their grandmother’s surname.”Both Wei Guozhi and Shen Wanrong were surprised when they heard that.“Are you sure about that?” asked Wei Guozhi.He loved his wife a lot but, at this day and age, only men who married into the women’s family would have their children and grandchildren take their wives’ surnames.Commander Xiao said, “Yes, I have thought it through already. I did not know about them all these years and had never raised them. I was not there when they needed me most. I am very happy already that they recognized me as their grandfather.”He felt that he had wronged Tong Menzhi and wanted to make up for her in some ways.Four grandchildren, two would take his surname and two hers. That way both family would have descendants.Wei Guozhi thought about it some and said, “Okay. If that’s your final decision. Let’s do that then.”Commander Xiao communicated is idea to Tong Xuelu and her siblings the next day.Tong Xuelu was a little surprised when she heard that. That being said, her impression of her Commander Grandfather had gone up some more.After much deliberation, they’ve decided to have Tong Jiaming and Tong Mianmian take on the Xiao surname whereas Tong Xuelu and Tong Jiaxin would keep their original surname.As Commander Xiao needed to rush back to the Northwester and that Tong Xuelu and her siblings were still listed in the old Tong family’s genealogy, they did not host the banquet the next day. They would hold off on celebrate after they have a complete break from the Tong family back home.Wen Rugui, too, was prepared to return to the base after Commander Xiao was gone.Something occurred to Tong Xuelu when she accompanied Wen Rugui to the train station.In the original novel, the Tong siblings never reunited with Commander Xiao. In fact, Commander Xiao was never mentioned in the book.By the same token, there was no Wen Rugui either.She was suddenly very curious. Who did Wen Rugui end up marrying in that parallel universe when they two of them never met.Noticing her gaze, Wen Rugui’s ears reddened slightly. “Is there something on my face?”Tong Xuelu shook her head. “No, I was just wondering if you will be with someone else if you have never met me.”Wen Rugui shook his head without thinking. “No.”He couldn’t even recognize any female comrades before he met her.And if he couldn’t even tell them apart, how could he find any of them attractive.Tong Xuelu’s lips curved upward. She grabbed his hand secretly when there was nobody around them.“I’ll reward you next time you are back!”Reward!Wen Rugui’s eyes lit up. He reminded her with his ears reddened, “I… have yet to prove my innocence.”Tong Xuelu was a little dazed before she remembered how she had accused him of kissing her last time and she couldn't help but busted out laughing. “Alright, you may prove your innocence next time.”Wu, her boyfriend is so cute!Looking at the bright smile on Tong Xuelu, Wen Rugui’s eyes were filled with tenderness.***While Tong Xuelu and Wen Rugui were lovey dovey over on this side, it was dismay over at the Sun’s.Ever since Sun Manrou had been fired and Sun Wuyang had been discharged, the atmosphere had been heavy at home.Sun Manrou grumbled, “Third Brother, this is all your fault. I’ve already said I wanted to give up. It was you who forced me to go barge into their relationship.”When he heard her words, Sun Wuyang felt like he had been stabbed. “How could you say that, Xiao Rou? It was my suggestion, but why would I even come up with such a plan had you not cried your eyeballs out back then?”Sun Manrou started crying again, “Third Brother, will you go and tell my direction that it was you who threatened me and that I was innocent?”Sun Wuyang looked at her in disbelief as though he had had just met her for the first time. “Do you think that your director will believe me with my current status?”Sun Manrou, “……”While the two were busy blaming each other, the security guard came over to have them to answer a call.The foot soldier looked at the two of them with contempt in his eyes. His look made the two both angry and timid to say anything.When Sun Wuyang picked up the phone and heard his father yelling at him angrily, he was stunned all over again.His mom and dad’s transfer had been rescinded. Not only that, they had been reassigned to an even worse location!His parents had pulled a lot of strings and utilized a lot of the network to be transfer back to Capital City. And it had been rescinded just like that!Whatever had happened!If his parents could not return to Capital City, he would also need to leave the military compound and moved to that backward area with them!And what future would he have left then?Recalling the Wen’s and the Xiao’s, he couldn’t help but shuddered.He had a bad feeling. He felt that the Sun’s were done for.
