After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

He handed over his documents, completed the registration, and then waved for Lin Yuyao to follow.

The buildings here are antique in style, and exude the fragrance of solid wood.

Following Lu Jiangting up to the second floor, they saw Lao Zhou in one of the offices.

"Uncle Zhou."

Old Zhou glanced at Lu Jiangting indifferently and let out a heavy sigh.

"coming."

“Yes, Uncle Zhou, I…”

"Alright, that's enough. Come with me."

"Hey!"

Old Zhou led them to an empty conference room next door, where a large, heavy wooden table was placed in the center, surrounded by a circle of stools.

Old Zhou waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit on either side of the table.

Lin Yuyao didn't know what it meant, but she just sat down no matter what they said.

The two sat on opposite sides, and when they looked up, their eyes met.

Lin Yuyao immediately lowered her head and looked at her small blue bag.

At this moment, Old Zhou, who was sitting at the top, sighed and said, "I originally wanted to have a professional mediator help you, but after thinking about it, I realized that this matter is ultimately not honorable. It's not good for either of you or for Comrade Fang Qing. After much consideration, I've decided that I will mediate for you personally."

Lu Jiangting nodded. "Uncle Zhou, thank you."

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Xiao Lu, things between you and Xiao Lin seem a bit different from what you said last time. I want to know the truth."

Lu Jiangting looked up at Lin Yuyao and said, "It is true that I am sorry to her, but there is really nothing between Fang Qing and me. I lent her money and asked my parents to help her take care of Chenchen, it was really because of Comrade Wang Jianjun. Yuyao, I..."

Old Zhou raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Alright, your conflict isn't about this. Comrade Xiaolin cares more than just whether you and Fang Qing have anything going on; in her opinion, she's not as important to you as Fang Qing is..."

"No, it's me and Fang Qing..."

Hearing that he was about to repeat himself, Old Zhou immediately said, "No, I misspoke. In Xiao Lin's opinion, she is not as important to you as your gratitude to Comrade Wang Jianjun."

Old Zhou is quite capable; after hearing this, both of them fell silent.

Just rephrase it.

Even if Lu Jiangting's relationship with Fang Qing becomes ambiguous in the future, at this moment, his feelings for Fang Qing should only be related to repaying a debt of gratitude.

So what's standing between them now, strictly speaking, isn't Fang Qing, but rather Wang Jianjun's kindness.

It wouldn't matter if it were Wang Qing or Chen Qing.

Lu Jiangting covered his face; he looked like he was crying.

"Yes...yes, I really can't refuse. When I think of Jianjun's pale face, lying there motionless...I...Old Zhou, Uncle Zhou, I really can't just ignore them."

Old Zhou said, "Comrade Wang Jianjun is a good comrade, and you are a good comrade too, but Comrade Xiaolin is innocent. You should repay your kindness, not drag her into it."

“But…” He wiped away his tears and looked up at Lin Yuyao across from him again.

"Yuyao, I'm serious about you. We've been together for so many years, you have to believe me."

She believed that he hadn't changed his mind at that time.

Which couple who walks hand in hand into the Civil Affairs Bureau isn't truly in love?

No one can say they weren't in love back then.

Unfortunately, when they eventually divorced after both sides were badly hurt, they truly hated each other.

Therefore, it's true that Lu Jiangting would change his mind sooner or later.

“I believe you, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m here today for only one purpose: to get my documents back.”

"Jianjun is dead, he's dead, do you understand? I just wanted to repay him, why can't you understand me?"

Lin Yuyao: "..." He's started talking nonsense again.

"Alright, alright, I understand what you mean. You don't want to repay the debt with me, but why? I saved you before, why don't you remember my kindness? Why can't you repay me the way I repaid Jianjun?"

Repay him?

Lin Yuyao gave a wry smile.

So does that mean I have to ruin my whole life?

"Is it because Jianjun died and I didn't that you don't appreciate the kindness I showed you in saving you?"

Lin Yuyao was stunned by his desperate remarks and realized just how paranoid he was.

His thinking is simply insane.

Okay, since he said so, then she won't stand on ceremony.

“If you die because you saved me, I will repay you in the same way you repaid Comrade Wang Jianjun. I will take good care of Fang Qing and her son for the rest of my life.”

She emphasized the last few words.

She rarely looked at people with a disgusted expression, but now she was staring at Lu Jiangting across from her with one.

Lu Jiangting was momentarily flustered.

"You know that's not what I meant."

"That's not what you meant?" Lin Yuyao sneered, her words sharp and hurtful.

"So do you think that's what Comrade Wang Jianjun meant? Does he know how much you take care of his wife and children? Do you think he would prefer you to take care of his elderly parents more? Don't you think so?"

Lu Jiangting fell silent after being asked that question.

After a moment, he said, "His parents didn't..."

"They didn't come to ask you for help?"

Lu Jiangting nodded.

"Why is that?"

Why? Because the parents of the family who were entitled to receive the compensation received it.

Everyone needs to look forward; who will stay in the same place forever?

He couldn't explain it, and he didn't understand it.

Lin Yuyao laughed sarcastically, then said, "You're just taking advantage of the fact that someone sacrificed themselves, and you can't speak properly, so you do things that you think are right."

She thought to herself that if people knew that after his death, these two shameless people would be entangled with him for the rest of their lives under the guise of repaying his kindness, they would probably be so angry that they would lift the coffin lid.

Isn't Lu Jiangting repaying kindness with enmity?

Her words were like sharp needles piercing Lu Jiangting's heart, leaving him speechless for a long time.

Old Zhou took a sip of tea and slowly began to speak.

"It seems that the two of you are indeed destined to be apart. In that case, let's call off your marriage."

Lu Jiangting looked at Old Zhou, "No, Uncle Zhou, we..."

"Alright, that's enough. I understand your difficulties, and I believe Comrade Xiaolin understands them too. The only one who hasn't understood is you. No one doesn't understand you; it's you who doesn't understand others."

Xiaolin is young and beautiful, with a bright future ahead of her. She doesn't want to waste her life with you; she hasn't done anything wrong. Xiaolu, please try to understand her and let Xiaolin go. Things have come to this point; it would be wrong of you to keep pestering her.

Lu Jiangting was speechless.

I watched helplessly as Lao Zhou took a thick file folder out of the drawer under the table.

In fact, the process of military marriage is very complicated.

I need to submit a dating report.

A premarital checkup is necessary.

A background check is required...

A single process can take several months.

So their marriage wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it took several months from the very beginning to the point where they could get their marriage certificate.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuyao stopped them at the last hurdle of getting their marriage certificate.

Old Zhou sighed, probably out of regret. They had come this far and completed so many procedures, only to have it all become worthless.
