Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Adding Fuel and Vinegar

Since Gu Junming laid things bare with her, Bai Fanglan hasn’t been in a good mood.

Even though she hasn’t heard any gossip at work, she feels guilty, always thinking they’re mocking her behind her back for throwing herself at a guy and getting dumped. The more she thinks about it, the more upset she gets! She’s a proud woman and can’t tolerate such humiliation. So she’s been in a slump.

Yesterday after work, her grandfather told her that the old chief was sick and asked her to visit him.

Bai Fanglan sat on the sofa, frowning: "There are doctors over there too, I won’t go. Otherwise, people will definitely mock me and say I’m trying to cozy up to them!"

"Don’t talk nonsense! Does your grandfather’s status require you to suck up?"

Bai Fanglan fiddled with her nails: "That’s true. But I still don’t want to go. It’s my day off, and taking a bus is tiring."

Bai Chuan was left speechless by her response, increasingly exasperated with this granddaughter. Although outwardly things seemed fine, the actual power in his hands was gradually slipping away, placing him in a precarious position. This was a sign that the higher-ups no longer wanted him in place and were hoping he would voluntarily step down. How could he be willing to retreat from the stage of power just like that? Yet now his position is so unstable, and his granddaughter can’t help at all! It’s really maddening.

If Gu Junming successfully completes his current task, he’ll definitely get promoted, and Bai Chuan’s position will be even more at risk.

Thinking of Gu Junming made Bai Chuan clench his fists involuntarily.

The old chief has a special status; his several children now hold real power in the military district, forming a connection with their family would be advantageous. But Bai Fanglan just won’t understand!

at Bai Fanglan’s delicate face, Bai Chuan swallowed his anger: "I’ll send a car to take you over. Go see him; the old chief is an older revolutionary, it will do you good to have more contact with him! Plus, you need to

Bai Fanglan interrupted him: "Grandpa! I already said I’m not considering marriage for now. Why are you bringing it up again!" She was annoyed and turned to stride
