Chapter 222: Chapter 222

Ye Hao sat on the stool.

He carefully thought about what Gu’s father had just said.

Was it his own intention, or was it Gu Yi’s?

Gu Yi had told her parents about their divorce.

Was this to make her parents accept this fact, or to announce that he was being expelled from her future life?

The more Ye Hao thought about it, the more anxious he became.

He forced himself to calm down.

Right now, all he could do was seek justice for both Gu Yi and himself.

Yang Lin dared to arrogantly separate him and Gu Yi because of her father.

So he would take drastic measures.

And Chen Jun, he spread the news about their divorce in the military, just trying to bring him down for his own promotion.

Since Chen Jun was so obsessed with getting promoted.

Then let him see hope first, then despair.

If he guessed correctly, regarding the affair between Yang Lin and Chen Jun last time, Yang Lin would definitely disclose it to her father.

Chen Jun’s wish should be coming true soon.

Just as Ye Hao anticipated.

Yang Lin went back home and tearfully told her mother about her pregnancy.

After listening to her daughter’s words, Yang’s mother was furious.

"Are you stupid? Look at you, our family has a decent background, you’re good-looking too, you have a good job, how could you be so reckless, getting yourself pregnant before marriage, what am I supposed to say to you?"

Yang’s mother initially wanted to scold more, but seeing Yang Lin sitting on the sofa sobbing, she couldn’t bear to say anything further.

Yang Lin’s father and brother had been in the military for years and spent little time at home.

Usually, it was just the mother and daughter at home, and Yang Lin was used to being pampered and acting spoiled.

So her mother especially doted on her.

Yang’s mother forced herself to calm down.

"Just a company commander from my former unit who goes by Chen Jun."

Yang Lin noticed her mother’s softened attitude, so she stopped crying and only sniffled occasionally.

"What do you plan to do next, are you going to marry him?"

Yang’s mother felt slightly better knowing he was a company commander, as her daughter hadn’t been completely foolish.

But she needed to understand Yang Lin’s thoughts first to decide the next steps.

"Everyone in the military knows about us; even if we don’t marry, my reputation is ruined. Might as well marry him, his family is from the village, so it’s easier to handle him later."

Yang Lin figured this all out on her way back home.

Her reputation was ruined; finding a good match would be difficult.

And even if she did find someone with a decent background, if they weren’t truly interested in her, she’d have no leverage.

But Chen Jun was different.

He had no background and was fond of her.

Controlling him would be easy, and she wasn’t afraid of him straying.

Yang’s mother got angry again and unconsciously pointed at Yang Lin’s head.

"Mom, could you help me talk to Dad about this? I’m afraid he’ll be mad."

Yang Lin said timidly.

"Now you know to be afraid, but where was this fear earlier?"

Yang’s mother was too exasperated to stay mad.

Yang Lin quickly clung to her mother’s arm.

"Mom, I know you’re the best, can you please talk to Dad for me? I’ll stay in the hospital these days, let me know if you have good news, please, mom?"

"Alright, children are debts from past lives."

Yang’s mother was most swayed by Yang Lin’s tactics.

A few days later, Yang Lin, staying at the hospital, got a call from her mom.

"Tomorrow is the weekend; you should invite Chen Jun over for dinner."

"Mom, did Dad agree?"

Yang Lin said excitedly.

"What choice does he have but to agree."

Yang’s mother said helplessly.

"I’ll call Chen Jun right now."

After hanging up, Yang Lin felt relieved.

Though she didn’t particularly like Chen Jun, she was already over two months pregnant.

If she delayed any longer, she wouldn’t be able to hide it.

It was best to marry Chen Jun soon.

And gloss over the pregnancy.

Chen Jun also harbored animosity against Ye Hao, and soon they would team up against him.

With her father’s help, it would be best to strip Ye Hao of his military uniform.

Not only stop him from being a battalion commander but even take away his right to be a soldier; let’s see what airs he dares put on.

Women are boundlessly dangerous, if not for themselves, they’ll destroy to prevent others from having it.

Yang Lin called Chen Jun, asking him to come to her place the next day.

She gave him the address.

And reminded him to dress well.

After hanging up, Chen Jun couldn’t stop grinning.

"Captain Chen, what good news do you have? Share some joy with us."

He walked down the street, and someone who noticed his unabated smile asked curiously.

"Of course, there’s good news, but I can’t share it with you."

Chen Jun replied and continued walking with a smile.

Those people didn’t mind; they were only a bit curious, it didn’t matter if he wasn’t willing to share.

Chen Jun hurried to ask Ye Hao for leave for the next day.

Seeing Chen Jun so happy, Ye Hao guessed something was progressing between him and Yang Lin.

He said nothing and granted the leave.

Chen Jun thanked him with a smile, but his smile vanished after stepping out the door.

The next day, Chen Jun dressed meticulously.

He even gritted his teeth and brought some fruits along.

Yang’s parents, though displeased at seeing Chen Jun, had no options since he and Yang Lin already had a child.

Father Yang, having been a leader for many years, although didn’t think much of Chen Jun, showed no outward disdain, just a cold attitude.

Yang’s mother looked at the fruits Chen Jun brought and held him in contempt.

It’s his first visit to the girl’s house, yet he brought such meager items.

Throughout the meal, she didn’t break a smile.

However, Chen Jun wasn’t bothered; after all, no parent would be thrilled in this situation.

So he kept smiling the entire time.

He was particularly perceptive, even offering to help wash the dishes after the meal.

"Stay seated, let Yang Lin’s mom handle it, I need to discuss some matters with you."

Father Yang stopped him.

"Why don’t you sit with my dad for a while."

Yang Lin knew her father wanted to discuss their future, so she pushed Chen Jun towards him.

"What are your plans now?"

Father Yang asked as soon as Chen Jun sat down.

"If you two agree, and Yang Lin is willing, I think it would be best to marry soon, before Yang Lin’s pregnancy becomes apparent."

Father Yang originally intended to use his military presence to intimidate Chen Jun.

But after hearing Chen Jun’s response, he felt it unnecessary.

As long as Chen Jun treated Yang Lin well in the future, they as parents didn’t care about anything else.

From years of observing people, father Yang saw through Chen Jun’s ambition hidden behind his seemingly honest demeanor.

After learning of Yang Lin’s affair, he inquired about Chen Jun’s background.

Though he had divorced once, it was said the reason was his former wife.

Now, there was a vacant deputy battalion commander position.

Given his experience and capability, he was fully qualified for it.

If Chen Jun behaved well, he could support him to rise.

All for Yang Lin’s better future.
