Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 17 Yes, I got married.

Liang Yi stared intently at her without interrupting.

Director Yang would naturally tell An Min about her situation.

Therefore, Liang Yi knew that An Min had a difficult time as well.

She was indeed quite different from the "capitalist lady" he knew.

"My mother died early, and my father married a stepmother. I was too stupid."

An Min's voice was very soft, as if she were describing someone else's story.

"I naively believed in so-called family ties, and even more so in the sweet words of a man, along with the encouragement of my 'good sister.' They conspired to trick me into giving them the inheritance my mother left me."

"By the time I realized I'd been scammed, it was too late. I couldn't stay in Haicheng anymore, so I had no choice but to run away to this remote Northwest."

An Min spoke half-truthfully, saying that the space and rebirth were secrets she had to keep for the rest of her life.

She wasn't sure about Liang Yi's character, so she wouldn't tell him these things.

As for what happens in the future, that's a matter for the future.

She took a deep breath, looked at Liang Yi and smiled: "So you see, I have no dignity left, only a past where I was swindled out of all my possessions and fled in a sorry state."

"We're pretty much evenly matched. If you're honest with me, I won't lie to you either."

She said the last phrase, "we're even," a little softly, with a touch of self-deprecation, which strangely brought them closer together.

Liang Yi felt as if something had struck his heart.

He looked at the girl in front of him, who, despite having suffered such a great betrayal and deception, still maintained her composure and inherent pride.

She wasn't trying to gain sympathy; she was simply stating the facts, even with a hint of frankness that she wasn't much better off than others.

Her composure and uprightness earned her Liang Yi's admiration.

What Director Yang had said about her situation earlier now seemed incredibly real and concrete.

His previous disdain for her background now seemed so ridiculous and narrow-minded.

A strong urge to protect him, mixed with admiration and heartache, suddenly surged into Liang Yi's heart.

He had wanted to marry her before out of curiosity and to save trouble, but now he truly felt that this girl deserved to be treated well.

"Anmin."

For the first time, Liang Yi omitted the word "comrade," his voice low and solemn.

"The past, whether it's unpleasant or a stain, is over. In my eyes, you are Anmin. From now on, as long as I have food to eat, I will never let you go hungry."

“I’m a roughneck and I don’t know how to say nice things. If you want to live a quiet life, the Northwest is a perfect place with its vast open spaces.”

In Liang Yi's world, there is no concept of confession.

He simply felt that when it comes to spending a lifetime with someone, actions speak louder than words.

Furthermore, Liang Yi never speaks in high-sounding terms; he would never utter those flowery, pretentious phrases.

An Min listened to Liang Yi's speech, which was as serious as a pre-battle speech, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

She thought his bad temper was as hard as a rock.

"okay, I get it."

"I will do my best to be a good wife."

Anmin felt that she could give up so-called love and just live a stable life together.

The two of them were quite open and honest with each other, so things went much easier afterward.

As the matchmaker for the two, Director Yang took the initiative to handle many miscellaneous tasks.

Because of An Min's special status, it was not appropriate to make a big fuss about her, and Liang Yi did not plan to be too extravagant.

So I plan to invite only my closest relatives and friends to the wedding banquet.

However, before they could register their marriage, Liang Yi's marriage application got stuck.

When the higher-ups saw An Min's file, they were stumped.

Anmin came from a humble background, but she has donated all her money and even came to the Northwest on her own initiative.

Logically, they should accept someone with such a positive mindset. However, Liang Yi is a key person they plan to promote in the future, and it would be a huge loss to hold him back because of his family member status.

Fortunately, Xu Qidong stepped forward and explained An Min's background in detail.

Finally, on the grounds that Liang Yi had a positive mindset and that if he refused, people would think they couldn't accept someone who wanted to change positively, he personally stamped Liang Yi's marriage application.

Xu Qidong and Director Yang shared the same idea.

The regulations aren't as strict now, and Anmin has positive ideas, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

This would not only solve Liang Yi's personal problems, but also allow Liang Yi to help An Min improve her studies.

Years later, Director Yang felt that An Min's knowledge would be Liang Yi's most valuable asset.

With the marriage certificate issued, Liang Yi finally felt relieved.

Now I can say I have a family now, and I even chose my own wife.

Liang Yi couldn't quite contain his smugness.

Look at this Northwest, who else can marry such a beautiful wife like him, not to mention that she is also very knowledgeable?

He didn't care about his background.

If there were a real problem, she wouldn't even be able to come to the Northwest.

Looking at my signed and stamped marriage certificate, it looked perfectly fine.

This sense of pride began to swell on the way back to the camp.

He first stopped by Old Li's place in the logistics department to check the supplies list for next month.

As they chatted, Liang Yi casually mentioned, "By the way, Lao Li, I need to take half a day off on the 5th."

Old Li didn't even look up: "Where are you going? Another blind date? Director Yang still hasn't had a break?"

Liang Yi cleared his throat and straightened his back even more: "Why go on blind dates? Let's go have our wedding banquet."

Old Li paused, his pen still in his hand. He suddenly looked up, his eyes wide: "What? With whom? They got together? When did this happen?"

How come he didn't hear a thing?

Liang Yi tried hard to keep a straight face, but he couldn't suppress the slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, it's done. It's that Comrade An Min whom Director Yang introduced last time."

"Ouch!"

Old Li stood up and walked half a circle around Liang Yi.

"Well done, kid! You've settled your life's most important matter without making a sound? Director Yang's introduction was definitely reliable! But your wife's background..."

Hearing what Lao Li said, Liang Yi's face darkened: "She's an activist now, not some black-background individual. What does her background matter?"

Seeing how protective Liang Yi was of his chicks, Old Li shook his head helplessly: "Look at you, acting like a mother hen protecting her chicks. I know, I know, you're an activist."

"Number Five, you're here for a drink too?"

After inviting Lao Li, Liang Yi left the logistics department and went into a small office next to the training field.

Several battalion and company officers who usually get along well were sitting inside.

He stood at the door and knocked on the door frame.

"Hey guys, busy?"

"Hey, Commander Liang! What a rare guest! Come in and have a seat?" someone greeted.

Liang Yi didn't go inside. Instead, he leaned against the door frame, hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping over the people inside, before slowly speaking.

"Just wanted to let you know, I'm getting married on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so please make sure you have time off."

The room fell silent instantly, and several pairs of eyes turned to look at them, all filled with surprise.

"marry?!"

"Commander Liang, you?"

Liang Yi (wearing a bow tie, chest out, head held high, proudly speaking): Yes, I'm married.
