A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

He told Lu Xiaojun to go to the guesthouse across the street to find Ye Wenxi.

He was instructed to relay his prepared statement to Ye Wenxi, and then Ye Wenxi would come to the house to discuss it further, ensuring there would be no discrepancies between the two sides.

Although the two had only been in contact for a little over a day, he had a feeling that Ye Wenxi would not agree to let him take all the blame on his own.

As he walked home from the guesthouse, he was making plans.

How exactly do I tell my family about this?

Regardless of Ye Wenxi's true character, once the words "drug administration" are uttered and reach the ears of her family, her image will be ruined.

Improving it further is virtually impossible.

She will also suffer endless suspicion and criticism as a result.

Although in fact, Lu Weidong was indeed a "victim".

But he's a man.

In his mind, since Ye Wenxi was going to become his wife, he had a responsibility to protect her.

A real man should protect his wife.

When Lu Xiaojun came downstairs, he bumped into his grandfather, Lu Zhenghua, who was coming back from outside with his hands behind his back.

Seeing his grandson rushing out in a flurry, the old man roared in a powerful voice.

"You brat! What's the rush? Where are you going?"

Without turning his head, Lu Xiaojun, carrying his second uncle's "heavy responsibility," ran headlong toward the gate of the compound.

He silently thought to himself: Second Uncle, you're a real man! You're the one who can hold things together in this family!

Lu Zhenghua entered the house but did not see Lu Weidong. However, he had already heard the gist of the story from Aunt Sun.

Although he didn't show his joy as his wife, Liu Xiuyun, he also felt that this was a good thing.

"Wei Dong? Where's Wei Dong?" Lu Zhenghua shouted from downstairs.

Lu Weidong walked out of the room, his face calm, and steadily went downstairs.

When Lu Zhenghua saw the serious, even somewhat solemn, expression on his son's face, his brows immediately furrowed.

This doesn't look like a happy occasion.

The old man spent his whole life in the army, he's seen it all.

He could tell his son's mood at a glance.

Liu Xiuyun, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, continued to urge him on happily.

"Son, your dad's back! Come on, tell us all about your daughter-in-law!"

Lu Zhenghua didn't respond, but just looked at his son quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"Dad, Mom. Please have a seat."

Lu Weidong's voice was steady, carrying a calmness that came from a firm decision.

"I am indeed getting married."

"Great! That's great!" Liu Xiuyun slapped her thigh with joy.

"However, the process of this matter is rather unusual. You two should be mentally prepared beforehand."

Liu Xiuyun's hand, which was raised in mid-air and was about to clap again, suddenly froze.

Lu Weidong continued to explain to his parents.

He said he was originally going back to his unit when he encountered Ye Wenxi, who had just escaped from human traffickers, and he rescued him.

They intended to hand her over to the police for resettlement, but the girl refused, tearfully recounting her tragic past of being abused and sold by her adoptive father.

Seeing that the girl hadn't eaten all day, they found a place and had dinner together that evening.

"We ate and chatted, and drank quite a bit."

"We hit it off really well. Then, in a moment of impulse that night, I...made a mistake."

Liu Xiuyun listened with bated breath, then felt her vision blur and almost fainted.

She never imagined that her usually steady and proud son would do something so absurd!

"But what's done is done, and I have to take responsibility."

"We brought her back this time because of her special household registration situation."

"Obtaining a household registration certificate, submitting a marriage certificate, and undergoing a political background check all take time."

"During this time, she had nowhere to go. So..."

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over his parents.

"I'd like her to stay with us temporarily."

Lu Zhenghua, who had been silent and listening with a sullen face, finally spoke up.

He didn't ask anything else, just stared at his son and asked one question:

"Does that girl really want to marry you?"

Liu Xiuyun looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, thinking he was talking nonsense.

What girl wouldn't want to marry her son?

Her son is handsome and has a bright future!

"What are you looking at?!" Lu Zhenghua glared at his wife, annoyed.

"You still think your son is a treasure? It all depends on the girl!"

"If the girl doesn't like it and reports him, he'll be a rapist! His life will be ruined!"

Liu Xiuyun's head buzzed when she heard the words "rapist".

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation, and his face turned pale instantly.

Yes, if that girl is unhappy and goes to sue, her son will be completely ruined!

She turned her head sharply and looked at Lu Weidong in horror.

Lu Weidong met his parents' gazes, his voice steady:

"She's willing. She's already waiting at the guesthouse."

"She told me to come back first and explain things to you."

While my parents were still processing this bombshell news...

He then recounted in detail what had happened on the train back to the city.

Lu Zhenghua listened intently, his eyes gradually revealing undisguised appreciation, and he nodded frequently.

She's courageous, resourceful, and has the courage to stand up for what's right. This girl is good.

Liu Xiucun, on the other hand, avoided being sensitive at this time.

She blurted out, "She wouldn't be...a spy, would she?"

In those days, there were indeed many infiltration and intelligence activities by the other side.

They are especially a key group to be wary of, particularly high-ranking military families.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Zhenghua frowned, his tone serious.

"Do you think the military's political vetting is just for show? I'll talk to Lao Li and have them get a clear picture of the situation."

Liu Xiuyun nodded in agreement. The matter was of great importance, and it was necessary to investigate it thoroughly.

Lu Weidong did not stop him.

The more you try to cover it up, the more suspicious people become.

Let them investigate. Once they find out the truth, their suspicions will naturally disappear.

In a guesthouse room.

Ye Wenxi had just taken a hot shower and changed into clean clothes.

Just as I was about to lie down and take a nap, exhaustion and drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed me.

I had just closed my eyes when I heard a knocking sound on the door.

She was still wondering: Was it over so quickly? Or had Lu Weidong come back?

He got up and opened the door, but instead of Lu Weidong, a teenager was standing there.

When the boy saw her, his eyes lit up noticeably, and he grinned and shouted:

"Second Aunt!"
