Just as Jiang Yao was about to hang up, she suddenly heard a familiar voice on the other end. It was Lu Xingzhi.
"Jiang Yao, it's me." Lu Xingzhi's voice was as dull and concise as usual.
Those who didn't have much hope were stunned when they heard it.
However, when they came back to their senses, Jiang Yao immediately reprimanded him. "Lu Xingzhi! You still remember to call home? What did you say when you returned to the military? Didn't you say that you would call home to let me know that you were safe? Do you know how worried I was for a long time? For the past few days, I've been running like a lunatic to answer every call from home. I thought it was you. It's been ten days. I've been worried for ten days! But you didn't even remember to call home! "
The more Jiang Yao spoke, the angrier she got. Towards the end, she scolded him. After she was done, she decisively slammed the phone back and hung up.
Then, she glared at the phone angrily. Her small chest heaved up and down in anger.
In the Longteng Restaurant in the capital city, Lu Xingzhi was a little surprised when he heard the beeping sound from the phone. He was surprised that Jiang Yao had hung up the phone after scolding him.
How much anger did she have to be in to hang up without giving him a chance to say a word?
Lu Xingzhi recalled that she had been worried for ten days and had been waiting for his call every day. In his heart, he couldn't get angry at Jiang Yao for hanging up the phone. He could understand how anxious and worried it was to be worried about someone.
"What's wrong? Did Third Sister-in-law hang up on you again? " The owner of the phone in Lu Xingzhi's hand, Zhou Weiqi, glanced at the person who hadn't even had the time to walk out of the private room to make a call. He laughed and said, "Third Sister-in-law is really good."
Zhou Weiqi used the word 'again'. Everyone at the table knew about Lu Xingzhi and his wife.
"Fourth Brother, you should put away that gloating expression of yours." Chen Xuyao kicked Zhou Weiqi under the table. This kind of thing was not funny, at least Chen Xuyao did not think it was funny.
Zhou Weiqi glanced at Chen Xuyao and snorted. "If you ask me, there are so many women in this world. Why waste your energy … Damn! Old Five! Why don't you try kicking me again?! "
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Weiqi was kicked again. This time, it was much heavier than before. Zhou Weiqi even suspected that his foot had turned red from the stomp. Zhou Weiqi immediately stood up, looking like he was going to fight with Chen Xuyao.
"Eating won't be able to shut your mouth." Chen Xuyao had no doubt that if Zhou Weiqi had said those words, he would have been beaten up by Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi liked his wife very much, and he liked her very carefully. Instead of trying to please a woman, he might as well find another woman to relieve his boredom. If he said that out loud, it would only anger Lu Xingzhi.
Zhou Weiqi realized that he had said something he should not have said. After Chen Xuyao scolded him, he sat back down awkwardly and extended his hand towards Lu Xingzhi. "Third Brother, can you return my phone to me?"
"Are you in a hurry?" Lu Xingzhi did not even lift his eyes. He continued to stand a few steps away from Zhou Weiqi. He held Zhou Weiqi's mobile phone in his hand and had no intention of returning it.
"I'm not in a hurry," Zhou Weiqi muttered. "Third Brother, if you want to call back, hurry up and do it. It's just a matter of a few words. Once you're done, you can sit down and eat."

When I saw that some relatives were questioning whether Jiang Yao's feelings for Lu Xingzhi were purely to repay a debt of gratitude, I felt that the development was a little strange. Here, I will explain a little.
Before I was reborn, I wrote that Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi had been separated from each other for 11 years. It was not because she was against marrying Lu Xingzhi, but because she was against the marriage arranged by her parents and the lack of freedom.
Jiang Yao was the youngest daughter of the Jiang family. Her parents doted on her dearly and her two older brothers doted on her. She had never been wronged since she was a child. She was good at studying, but she had always been an independent girl with her own thoughts. When her parents suddenly told her that they wanted her to marry Lu Xingzhi, whom she was not familiar with, her first reaction was to find her parents' behavior ridiculous.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang really doted on Jiang Yao as their daughter. So if Jiang Yao really did not want to marry Lu Xingzhi, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang would not have forced her to marry him. She later compromised because her rebellious nature had been aroused. She wanted to use her own method to tell her parents what kind of outcome they would give her if they thought he was good and suitable for her.
Marrying Lu Xingzhi with such feelings and thoughts would make Jiang Yao, who had never been in love, lose her way. She did not know what love was and was still in a state of ignorance about relationships.
It was not that she did not have any feelings for Lu Xingzhi. Otherwise, she would not have avoided him by running away. She should have chosen to divorce Lu Xingzhi after she graduated and was officially able to live independently in society. Then, she would have completely cut off all ties between the two of them.
However, after graduation, she did not ask for a divorce. Instead, she blindly avoided him. This represented the hazy feelings she had for Lu Xingzhi. She did not know what to do and how to face him.
The first two chapters of this article described Jiang Yao's feelings for Lu Xingzhi. They were very subtle, so perhaps no one noticed them.
For example, as soon as Lu Xingzhi opened his mouth to speak, Jiang Yao immediately recognized his voice. Furthermore, it was under the circumstances that they had not seen each other for many years. This showed that Lu Xingzhi's voice was firmly engraved in her heart. However, the dullness in her heart caused her to deny her feelings.
Also, the moment Lu Xingzhi was buried, she had not seen him for many years, but she still recognized him at a glance. She recognized that he was Lu Xingzhi.
When Lu Xingzhi was buried, Jiang Yao's words and her psychological activities proved that she was not completely without feelings for Lu Xingzhi. However, she was used to suppressing her feelings and was used to denying herself. Then, she thought that one day, she could proudly tell her parents, "Look, you said that I would be happy, but in fact, I am not."
This was the final result of an adolescent girl's rebellious thoughts.
Lu Xingzhi's suicide note, his sacrifice in front of her, and his strong love for her were enough for her to walk out of her shackles and realize her feelings for Lu Xingzhi.
