Chapter 112 Jiang Xun said to Jiang Feiyan, "I like you."

Around noon, on the train back to Beijing.

Recalling his conversation with Jiang Xun, a slight smile appeared on Shen Zhao's expressionless face.

Although everything was terrible today, there was at least one thing that made him happy.

"Selling boxed lunches! Stir-fried pork with green peppers, cucumber, and eggs, 30 cents a box! We also have noodles and steamed buns. Just let me know if you need any!"

At that moment, a flight attendant pushed a food cart past the seats.

Wang Xiayun said ingratiatingly, "Son...are you hungry? Let Mom buy you a boxed lunch."

"I'm not hungry." After saying this, Shen Zhao closed his eyes and took a nap.

Wang Xiayun nodded: "Oh, okay, then you rest first, and Mom will buy you something to eat when you get hungry."

Looking at her son's profile, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

She won this battle; her son ultimately chose her.

As expected, her son was still filial; he knew she was doing it for his own good.

After returning to Beijing, she arranged for her son to meet those girls.

I'll find him a satisfactory wife then, get him married soon, and have him give her a big, healthy grandson.

As for Jiang Feiyan, well, let her stay in the countryside and fend for herself forever.

Such a sycophantic woman will never have a chance to rise in the world, so there's no need for her to bother dealing with her anymore.

However, Wang Xiayun was unaware that her actions had completely broken Shen Zhao's heart and pushed him further and further away.

As a result, Shen Zhao applied for a transfer to the frontier as soon as he returned to the capital, and didn't even stay at home for more than a few days.

After learning what had happened, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen both shook their heads and sighed, becoming increasingly dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law.

After their son passed away, their daughter-in-law took meticulous care of them and never abandoned them, which deeply moved them.

But for some reason, the daughter-in-law was very kind to them, but very harsh on her grandson, Shen Zhao.

Every time his grandson makes even the slightest mistake, he gets a beating and a scolding.

Later on, she would be dissatisfied with whatever her grandson did.

Her grandson had to do everything according to her demands, and she would throw a tantrum if he didn't.

In this environment, Sun Tzu Shen Zhao became increasingly withdrawn and quiet.

This suffocating family atmosphere almost made Grandpa and Grandma Shen unable to stay any longer.

Later, thanks to Grandpa Shen's connections, his grandson Shen Zhao was sent to the army.

Otherwise, who knows what would have become of Shen Zhao now.

But I never expected that even though my grandson is so grown up now, my daughter-in-law is still so extreme and stubborn.

Now that their grandson has completely left home, how can they not resent it?

In the living room, Grandma Shen, her eyes red and swollen, kept wiping away tears: "Now that Zhao'er has gone to the frontier, I don't know when he'll be able to return..."

Grandpa Shen sighed, "In the end, it was his own choice. It's more free there, and he doesn't have to be controlled by anyone..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiayun, who was about to leave the room, turned extremely dark-faced.

What did she do wrong? Why is everyone blaming her?

If she had known that Shen Zhao, this unfilial son, would be so disobedient, she would have preferred not to have given birth to him in the first place!

On the other side.

Jiang Feiyan only learned from Jiang Xun that Shen Zhao had returned to the capital the day after Shen Zhao went back.

Jiang Xun handed over the envelope in his hand: "This is a letter he left for me to give to you."

Jiang Feiyan took the envelope, opened it, and found only one sentence inside:

I'm sorry, I hope we can still be friends when we meet again.

Jiang Feiyan was slightly taken aback.

Recalling her past with Shen Zhao, she was filled with mixed emotions.

When they first met, he always had a cold demeanor, which made her feel that he was hard to approach and difficult to get along with.

I only realized after getting to know him that he was just cold on the outside, but actually very sensitive and caring.

She and he had a lot in common and got along quite well.

If they hadn't had that kind of mother, perhaps they could have become very good friends.

Seeing the reluctant look on Jiang Yatou's face, Jiang Xun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said:

“Shen Zhao said that he would be going to the frontier and probably wouldn’t be back for many years.”

"The frontier?" Jiang Feiyan was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Xun nodded: "Yes, this is something he has been planning all along, it's just that it's been brought forward now."

"I hope he's doing well over there, and I hope he can completely get rid of that person..." Jiang Feiyan sighed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun also said, "He definitely will."

Given the extreme hardship of the frontier, Wang Xiayun, in his current state, probably wouldn't be able to endure it.

The two chatted for a while longer, then Jiang Xun casually took out three movie tickets from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Feiyan, saying:

"These movie tickets were a gift from the dean. I don't really like watching these kinds of movies, so I thought I'd give them to you. Why don't you invite your friends to go see them in the county?"

(The scapegoat dean: Last time it was pork, this time it's movie tickets. Why would I be so kind as to give it all to you, kid?)

Jiang Feiyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at it.

She's off tomorrow, and these movie tickets are for tomorrow.

And most importantly, this is a very popular movie recently: "Red Star Over the Earth".

Zhou Linghui and Li Xiaoqing had been talking about going to see it for a long time, but unfortunately they couldn't get tickets through connections.

She didn't believe that the dean would casually give Jiang Xun three movie tickets, which were so hard to come by.

That's what Jiang Feiyan thought, but she didn't expose him. She just said, "I heard these movie tickets are hard to buy. How much did they cost? Why don't I buy them for double the price?"

Jiang Xun smiled slightly: "We're all friends, I'm giving it to you for free, it's free."

Jiang Feiyan looked up at him and said, "Dr. Jiang, what you're doing will make me misunderstand."

Since Shen Zhao's mother made such a scene a couple of days ago, Jiang Feiyan belatedly realized that Shen Zhao might have feelings for her.

Otherwise, Mother Shen would never have gotten so angry and targeted her.

Furthermore, Shen Zhao's letter today further solidified her belief.

If that's the case, then the pairing she previously shipped between Dr. Jiang and Captain Shen doesn't exist.

And their so-called quarrels in front of her were probably just a competition for her favor.

As for vying for whose favor...

Isn't this movie ticket the best proof?

Jiang Feiyan pursed her lips, suddenly regretting asking the question.

"There's no misunderstanding, it's just what you think." But Jiang Xun didn't give her time to back out, immediately continuing:

"Comrade Jiang Feiyan, I like you, I really like you."

I know it's abrupt for me to say this now, but I can't help it.

You don't need to feel burdened by my liking; just do your own thing.

I will quietly stay by your side and wait for you to give me an answer when you come of age...

Jiang Xun's gaze was clear and earnest.

Reflected in Jiang Feiyan's eyes, it was like a clear spring.

Slowly...flowing through her heart...
