Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

At Youth Point here, Wang Aihua was also persuading Sun Yuhua. Despite listening to Wang Aihua’s words, as soon as she got back, Gao Jiazhi stubbornly insisted on moving out, which left Sun Yuhua feeling downcast.

However, this time Gao Jiazhi didn’t give her a choice. Early in the morning, he took their daughter and left for school, and Sun Yuhua couldn’t possibly avoid following them. It would have been awkward to stay home alone, so she had no choice but to pack her clothes and chase after Gao Jiazhi.

Zheng Xianghong just heaved a sigh upon seeing this. Xia Xiao said, "Mom, big brother and Yu Hua will move back eventually."

Zheng Xianghong nodded, still hoping that Sun Yuhua’s temperament would soften because, over time, the couple’s conflicts could only worsen, and their relationship might easily suffer.

With Sun Yuhua gone, life was indeed somewhat easier for Zheng Xianghong and Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao stayed at home to take care of the children and do household chores, or she would visit Xia Jing at Youth Point, unless Yan Hao was off to work and then he would bring Xia Jing over.

When Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong returned home after a tiring day, they would embrace Feiyang and Feiyue, and the mere sight of their grandsons wiped away all their fatigue.

The place where Gao Jiaxing was situated was called Sky Island. As a development and training base, he and his group were among the first to arrive there.

Now that conditions had been relaxed, ten-year veterans and ranking officers all had the privilege to be stationed with the troops. Once this became known, many long-serving soldiers and higher-ranking officers showed interest.

But there were also those who felt it was too far and that both conditions and the climate were harsh, making them hesitant.

Of course, not everyone was eligible to go. Aside from Gao Jiaxing’s group, others interested in transferring there also had to go through a selection process.

After emerging from the island, the selection site for Gao Jiaxing’s group would still be the Dragon Training Corps.

When Gao Jiaxing and He Xuebing met again, they exchanged smiles, their military experiences having matured them.

Moreover, He Xuebing had married Yu Zhen last year, and Gao Jiaxing’s situation didn’t even need mentioning; his son turned two that year.

During this round of evaluations, Gao Jiaxing’s team was still the top group, excelling in both rapid short-term combat and sustained operations.

The island training had tanned everyone significantly, not quite to the extent of being black but close. However, each person’s two rows of white teeth were all strikingly visible, shining brightly under the sunlight.

He Xuebing invited Gao Jiaxing to his home, but Yu Zhen returned and said, "Xuebing, my parents have asked us to come over for dinner?"

He Xuebing said, "Tell your parents that I won’t be coming today, Xuegang is here, and I want to spend time with him."

Yu Zhen glanced at Gao Jiaxing and chuckled, "My father heard you were bringing Platoon Leader Gao to the dorms for a visit, so they wanted us to invite Platoon Leader Gao over to our place. Lieutenant Liu is also there."

Yu Zhen was referring to Liu Yuanchao when she mentioned Lieutenant Liu. Hearing that Liu Yuanchao had also been invited to the Yu Family, He Xuebing and Gao Jiaxing exchanged a look, nodded, and decided to go together. As they left, they also called for He Xuexiang.

The Yu Family lived inside the military base, which was part of a larger military district, and Yu Zhen’s mother worked as a doctor at the Military District Hospital.

When Gao Jiaxing arrived at the Yu Family’s home with He Xuebing, not only was Liu Yuanchao there, but Yu Zhen’s cousin Lin Xiang was also present.

Lin Xiang was still unmarried. With high standards, ordinary people didn’t interest her, and those who were interested in her might not necessarily meet her approval.

Upon seeing Gao Jiaxing arrive, even though she had heard from Yu Zhen that Gao Jiaxing was already married and had even fathered twins, Lin Xiang’s eyes still lit up.

Gao Jiaxing was taken aback upon seeing Yu Zhen’s mother. Mr. Yu introduced her, "This is my wife, Comrade Xue Baozhu, a doctor at the Military District Hospital."

Gao Jiaxing paused, her last name was Xue, and he pondered the likelihood of such a coincidence.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Is Dr. Xue from Yangpu in S City?"

Xue Baozhu replied, "Yes, Platoon Leader Gao, how could you tell?"

"Oh, I know a Mr. Xue," said Gao Jiaxing, whose heart had now settled on the fact that Xue Baozhu was indeed Mr. Xue’s daughter.

With a smile, Xue Baozhu said, "Then there’s no mistake, it’s indeed my father. Who would have thought we would know the same person? That’s quite fortunate."

Looking at Xue Baozhu’s smile, Gao Jiaxing felt it was somehow familiar, as if he had met Xue Baozhu before, but he also felt he was perhaps overthinking it.

Xue Baozhu didn’t look much like Mr. Xue, probably because she took after her mother instead, but her daughter Yu Zhen did bear a strong resemblance to Xue Baozhu.

Gao Jiaxing also smiled and said, "Yes, the grandparents of my spouse’s family live near Mr. Xue’s place."

"Could it be the Xia Family?" Xue Baozhu asked, obviously familiar with them as well.

"Exactly," Gao Jiaxing nodded.

Liu Yuanchao then laughed, "Who would have thought we would have such a connection? Dr. Xue’s father lives close to my maternal grandfather’s house."

"You two are?" Mr. Yu looked at Liu Yuanchao and Gao Jiaxing and asked.

Liu Yuanchao, putting his arm around Gao Jiaxing, laughed and said, "His spouse is my cousin’s daughter, someone we must take good care of, which is why we specially recruited him into the military."

Mr. Yu then laughed, "Looking at it this way, Platoon Leader Gao is truly talented."

Yu Zhen and Lin Xiang were rather jealous, having not expected Xia Xiao to have such a background. He Xuexiang glanced at He Xuebing, his feelings complex.

At that moment, He Xuexiang even thought that if He Xuebing had ended up with Xia Xiao, maybe things would have been better than they were now.

But no matter what He Xuexiang thought, the past had passed, and He Xuebing had already married Yu Zhen.

After exchanging greetings, Mr. Yu, Liu Yuanchao, Gao Jiaxing, He Xuebing, and He Xuexiang sat together in the living room, while Yu Zhen, her mother, and Lin Xiang were in the kitchen cooking.

During the meal, Lin Xiang was actively setting dishes and introducing which ones she had prepared, enthusiastically inviting Gao Jiaxing and Liu Yuanchao to eat.

This was too obvious, and even Mr. Yu frowned frequently. Xue Baozhu said, "Xiao Xiang, sit down. Platoon Leader Gao is not an outsider."

Turning to Gao Jiaxing and Liu Yuanchao, Xue Baozhu said, "Please, don’t be polite. Treat this like your own home. My cooking might be rough, and I don’t know if it suits your taste."

Liu Yuanchao and Gao Jiaxing said together, "It’s really good, here on Sky Island we rarely get to eat this well."

Mr. Yu then said with a laugh, "Then please eat more."

After the meal, Gao Jiaxing and Liu Yuanchao left, and He Xuebing didn’t get a chance to have a private chat with Gao Jiaxing.

Mr. Yu frowned at Lin Xiang and said, "You went over the top just now."

Lin Xiang replied, "Uncle, wasn’t I just being hospitable?"

Mr. Yu could clearly see his niece’s intentions and also worried that she might make a mistake in a moment of folly, so he said, "They’re already married, so don’t get any ideas. Find yourself a proper match and get married soon."
