With a splash, a body suddenly plunged into the sea and was instantly submerged by the sea water. Then her ears were filled with the sound of the sea water impact, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Help, help, help!"

"Someone jumped into the sea, hurry up and save him, hurry..."

"Hey, hey, hey, the person is gone..."

"Oh my God, there was one at the beginning of last month. What's going on?"

"Yes, yes, that one was all the rage last month. It was also a young man, but luckily he was saved last time."

The tourists on the yacht were shouting and talking at once—

That’s right, the person who just fell into the sea was Su Nianxi, a young medical doctor and gourmet expert who accidentally stepped on a cute banana peel on the deck of a yacht and stumbled into the sea.

The 27-year-old, beautiful woman plunged into the sea with a look of despair. The unsuspecting tourists on the yacht all thought that the young woman had committed suicide by jumping into the sea due to the pressure of life.

Pity!

……

Su Nianxi vaguely remembered that something soft and thin was holding her lips to help her breathe...

……

Qingshan Village in Autumn

"Mr. Lu (Lu Qidong), my Chunhua is the only girl in our family. She is the granddaughter of the Shi family who was betrothed to Comrade Chen Ting."

Shi Maoshan's eldest daughter-in-law Yan Lan was shamelessly yelling.

Shi Chunhua, who was about 1.5 meters tall and had a yellow-toothed, silly smile, was following beside her. Her mother Yan Lan pushed her out forcefully, and she staggered to the middle of the crowd, nodding her head at Mr. Lu without any shame.

Shi Maoshan's three sons standing next to him looked stunned and embarrassed.

The whole family knew that the girl Su Nianxi, the daughter of the eldest sister Shi Yue, was betrothed to Mr. Lu’s grandson Lu Chenting.

However, because the Shi family favored the eldest sister when their parents were alive, they turned their backs on Su Nianxi. At this time, the whole family was in collusion and acquiesced to Yan Lan's behavior. Therefore, although the whole family was embarrassed, they kept silent.

Lu Chenting changed his wet clothes in the car and saw this scene as soon as he stepped over the threshold of the courtyard.

He was dressed in military uniform and walked over with a domineering look. He stood upright on the left side of Mr. Lu, with cold eyes and silent lips.

His arrival made the people present feel inexplicably cramped.

"That's not right, Yan Lan. The one betrothed to this young comrade Lu was clearly your eldest sister-in-law Shi Yue's daughter, Su Nianxi. How did it become your Chunhua?"

Aunt Yan (the captain's wife) couldn't stand Yan Lan being so black-hearted, so she confronted Yan Lan directly.

"Yan Lan, everyone in the village knows this. You're thinking of replacing Su Nianxi with Su Nianxi, who is a handsome and well-off grandson, since Su Nianxi is now an orphan and the old couple Maoshan are gone. And your Chunhua is only fifteen years old. How can she get married?"

Aunt Li, who was standing by and doing her righteous work, also blurted out without mercy.

Hahahahaha...

The onlookers laughed in unison.

"Go away... What does this have to do with you? Get out of here..."

Su Nianxi's second aunt, third aunt and eldest aunt Yan Lan colluded with each other and immediately retorted to Aunt Li.

There was another burst of spontaneous laughter.

Hahahahaha...

"Yes, my comrade Shi Maoshan, your father, and I arranged for Chen Ting to marry Su Nianxi, the daughter of my niece Shi Yue. How could we change that?"

"Besides, Chen Ting is a soldier, so it's a military marriage. How dare you fool around with a military marriage?"

Suddenly, Mr. Lu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, put on a stern face and shouted at Shi Maoshan's three sons.

At this time, Su Nianxi's three uncles and other family members were trembling with fear under the shock of Mr. Lu's thundering power. Their faces turned ashen and ugly, and no one dared to say a word.

Even the most ignorant villagers should have realized that military marriages are protected, and those who disrupt them will be sentenced to jail, and in serious cases, they may even be shot.

"Grandpa, didn't we agree to cancel the engagement——"

Lu Chenting on the side spoke quickly, his domineering, cold, deep and magnetic voice attracted special attention in the crowd.

At this time, Su Nianxi had just been rescued by Lu Chenting and had not yet recovered.

With her face swollen beyond recognition from being stung by a wasp and a pair of large, fat ears, she was shivering in the corner of the courtyard wall not far away, wrapped in a tattered thin blanket.

Su Nianxi was so dizzy that she couldn't hear what the people around her were saying because of the tinnitus. Her head was burning and stinging after being stung, and she was asking herself: Who am I? Where am I?

"No, Comrade Lu, you and Nianxi were betrothed to each other since childhood. Furthermore, you just touched her all over. Now Nianxi is definitely yours. How can you just call off the engagement? How can Nianxi face others and behave like a normal person in the future?"

Su Nianxi's deceased mother Shi Yue was raised by Aunt Yan (the captain's wife), so she didn't care about Lu Chenting's overwhelming dominance and the chill brought by his cold eyes, and she bravely confronted Lu Chenting on behalf of the timid Su Nianxi.

"Auntie, the cancellation of the engagement was something my grandfather discussed with Grandpa Shi years ago. And Comrade Su and I have never even met once, so how could I have touched her?"

At this time, Lu Chenting was holding the correspondence between Shi Maoshan and Lu Qidong in his hand, which did mention that they agreed to cancel the child marriage.

But rural people of that era valued reputation more than life, and not many of the onlookers were literate, and those who were didn't buy it at all and kept silent.

Shi Maoshan and Lu Qidong were comrades-in-arms back then. On the battlefield, Shi Maoshan blocked a bullet for Lu Qidong and saved his life. Shi Maoshan also developed a chronic illness as a result and was forced to retire from the army.

Privately, Shi Maoshan and Lu Qidong were good friends who could talk about anything. Coincidentally, Shi Maoshan's daughter Shi Yue was pregnant at that time. So the two old men decided that if the baby was a girl, they would become relatives. In this way, a marriage was arranged for Lu Chenting and Su Nianxi.

Lu Chenting was six years old at that time, and of course it was Old Man Shi Maoshan who first proposed the marriage.

But four years ago, when Mr. Shi went to Beijing to visit an old friend, he was actually visiting his "grandson-in-law" under the pretext of visiting Mr. Lu.

But at that time, he saw a girl of the same age as Lu Chenting crying in Lu Chenting's arms and hugging Lu Chenting tightly.

Mr. Lu was also present at the time. He hurried forward to scold and even punished Lu Chenting according to the family rules.

Since then, due to the tense war situation for several consecutive years, Mr. Lu's correspondence with Mr. Shi became rare. Until last November, Lu Qidong wrote to discuss the marriage of the two children.

Because of what he saw four years ago, Shi Maoshan didn't want his granddaughter Su Nianxi to suffer any injustice, so he had already thought of breaking off the engagement.

So she wrote back to Lu Qidong, saying that she was willing to cancel the engagement between her granddaughter and her grandson if possible, saying that it was his fault for not thinking it through and rashly proposed the child marriage. The children will grow up and have their own ideas about the major life events of getting married and having children.

He told Lu Qidong directly that based on what he saw four years ago, if the two of them put the two children together, there would probably be no good results.
