My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

Xu Fuyang frowned, his face showing a very conflicted expression.

As a man, Xu Guangping saw what Xu Fuyang was thinking.

This guy must have developed real feelings for Yun Jiaojiao.

The men in the Xu family are capable of great things. They must not be trapped in love affairs, and they must not be bound by a woman.

"Fu Yang, come with me to the study. I have something to say to you."

Xu Guangping stood up and went upstairs with a serious face.

Xu Fuyang had no choice but to follow him.

"Fu Yang, your mother won't harm you. Listen to your mother and don't go looking for that girl Yun Jiaojiao."

"That girl just beat Shanshan. If you go out and get her back now, your mother will definitely not treat her well."

"Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always been the most difficult to resolve. Now that you've brought her back, and your mother and that girl are arguing, will you help your mother or that girl?"

Xu Guangping handed a cigarette to Xu Fuyang.

The father and son stood by the window, smoking into the night.

"That girl was brought back to the Xu family by your grandfather when she was less than nine years old. Every reputable family in Jiangcheng knows that girl is our Xu family's child bride."

"Given our Xu family's status in Jiangcheng, who would dare to covet your Xu Fuyang's wife and try to steal your Xu Fuyang's girl?"

After hearing Xu Guangping's words, Xu Fuyang's brows relaxed a lot.

Old Xu was right. The news that Yun Jiaojiao was Xu Fuyang's child bride had long been spread throughout Jiangcheng.

Unless Xu Fuyang announced that he didn't want Yun Jiaojiao, no man in Jiangcheng would dare to compete with him for a woman.

Yun Jiaojiao finally had to return to his side obediently and continue to revolve around him as before.

Seeing that Xu Fuyang had taken his words to heart, Xu Guangping showed a satisfied smile.

"The best thing to do now is to leave that girl alone."

"Let that girl suffer a little outside."

"Otherwise, that girl will think she has grown strong enough to attack anyone from our Xu family."

Xu Fuyang extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

"Dad, I know what to do."

"I'm going back to my room to take care of some work."

"Men in our Xu family should prioritize their careers and work; women are just icing on the cake for us."

Xu Guangping patted Xu Fuyang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"The leaders of the Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute all think highly of you. Work hard. Dad believes that in a few years, your name will appear on the list of famous scientists in Longguo."

"and many more."

When Xu Fuyang turned to leave, Xu Guangping remembered something and called him back.

"Your mother and I have decided to bring that girl Wanru into your unit."

"That girl is smart and knows how to read people's expressions. Getting her to your unit will be a great help to you."

Zhang Wanru came to Jiangcheng just to find a job.

Xu Fuyang had no objection to Xu Guangping and Zhu Meiyun's decision to bring Zhang Wanru into the Jiangcheng High-tech Research Institute.

"You don't need to discuss this with me. Just make the decision with Mom."

Back in the bedroom, Xu Fuyang stared at the photo of himself, Yun Jiaojiao, and the old man on the desk and had no intention of working.

Yun Jiaojiao, it would be better if that man is the actor you found to make me angry.

You'd better not flirt with those wild men out there.

at the same time.

Residential area outside the military compound.

knock knock knock...

"Yun girl, Captain Xie, can I come in?"

I have quilts and mattresses.

Yun Jiaojiao and Xie Zhennan were busy making the bed in the room.

There was a knock on the door, and Yun Jiaojiao turned her head to look at the door.

"The door is not locked, Aunt Lanhua, just push the door open and come in."

Miao Lanhua pushed the door open and saw two people making the bed. She couldn't help but look at them.

"The patterns on these sheets and quilt covers are really pretty."

“It’s just that the colors aren’t very festive.”

"Captain Xie, Comrade Yun, you two are getting married soon, why don't you buy bright red sheets and quilt covers?"

"The bright red peony is so festive!"

"..."

Yun Jiaojiao couldn't appreciate the bright red peonies, so she bought a set of taro purple ones embroidered with baby's breath and a set of bright red ones embroidered with double happiness.

Two sets of bedding are provided for easy washing.

"Aunt Lanhua, I bought two sets."

"I'm afraid it'll get dirty, so I'll put the bright red one on on the wedding day."

"Is there something that brings you here so late?"

Miao Lanhua then remembered that she had come to disturb the young couple because she wanted to ask Xie Zhennan for help.

"The light bulb in my room is broken. I'd like to ask Captain Xie to come over and change it for me."

"Zhennan, go help Aunt Lanhua change the light bulb. I can do the rest of the work myself."

Xie Zhennan helped Yun Jiaojiao pack the quilt and left with Miao Lanhua.

After Yun Jiaojiao had put the pillows in place, spread the bed sheets, and went to the next room with a candle to find Xie Zhennan, she saw from a distance a woman in her twenties standing next to Xie Zhennan and Miao Lanhua.

The woman wore a tight floral shirt on her upper body and a one-step skirt on her lower body, revealing her white legs, which were worn in a pair of red high heels.

This outfit was considered extremely sexy in the 1980s.

"The lightbulb isn't broken."

"The circuit must be broken."

Xie Zhennan lowered his head and carefully checked the circuit. It was unclear whether he was not interested in the woman next to him or was embarrassed to look at the woman next to him who was wearing revealing clothes.

Yun Jiaojiao stared at Xie Zhennan calmly, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.

My eyes didn't look around.

Pretty honest.

"Aunt Lanhua, do you have a pencil at home?"

"I'm an old woman and I don't know how to use that thing. I'm not prepared."

"But there's an electrician in our neighborhood. He must have it. I'm going to borrow it from him now."

Miao Lanhua turned around and walked out.

She didn't even notice Yun Jiaojiao standing in the yard holding a candle.

"Comrade, what is your relationship with Aunt Lanhua?"

As soon as Miao Lanhua left, the woman immediately stuck to Xie Zhennan.

While sticking to Xie Zhennan, the woman pinched her throat and asked in a seductive tone about the relationship between Xie Zhennan and Miao Lanhua.

Xie Zhennan had been a soldier for many years, and he kept his eyes and ears open. As soon as the woman came close to him, he took a big step to the side.

"oops!"

The woman was walking on empty air, her foot twisted, and she almost sprained her waist. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed.

"It's dark, be careful."

Xie Zhennan stood upright to remind the woman, without any intention of showing any mercy to her.

"It's because you suddenly moved away that I sprained my ankle."

The woman stood up with her hands on her waist, pouting her red lips and complaining to Xie Zhennan.

"Can't you, a grown man, come and give me a hand?"

Xie Zhennan felt that he was still not safe, so he took another big step to the side.

"If I don't move away, am I waiting for you to pounce on me?"

After making sure that he was completely satisfied, Xie Zhennan responded to the woman with an expressionless face.

"A sprained ankle won't kill you anyway, just bear with it for now. Aunt Lanhua will be back soon and she'll take you home."

Hahahahaha...

Yun Jiaojiao was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that her stomach hurt.

If I don't move away, am I waiting for you to pounce on me?

Anyway, spraining your ankle won’t kill you, so just bear with it for now!

Xie Zhennan is such a talented person!
