After Chapter 101, things will take off!

Grandma Chen talked to Du Ruoxia for a long time, introducing her grandson Chen Yizhou. But Du Ruoxia said she was married. Grandma Chen was still persistent and wanted to recognize her as her granddaughter. Du Ruoxia was a little overwhelmed by the old lady's enthusiasm, so she could only find an excuse to hide in Gao Songbai's ward.

Du Ruoxia went to Gao Songbai's ward and pondered for a long time.

"Comrade Du, what's wrong with you?" Gao Songbai asked, puzzled.

Du Ruoxia shook her head and asked Gao Songbai where his grandfather had gone. The answer she received was that he had gone to the villagers' resettlement center.

"Yes, I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving Xilan City," Du Ruoxia nodded and said.

Gao Songbai was surprised but also felt it was understandable, since Du Ruoxia came to Xilan City for her man.

"Has Comrade Du found a partner yet?" Gao Songbai asked with a smile.

"Okay, we'll leave when he gets back!" Du Ruoxia nodded, then gave Gao Songbai some more instructions.

She thought Yang Zeyan's time in Xilan City should be coming to an end, and at least she wouldn't have to get involved in many things afterward.

Although Gao Songbai was reluctant, he agreed with Du Ruoxia's decision. There were too many unexpected and bizarre things in Xilan City, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate fully with the treatment!" Gao Songbai said firmly.

After saying goodbye to Gao Songbai, Du Ruoxia went to the dean's office to wait. In the afternoon, Yang Zeyan finally arrived.

He and Song Shifeng walked side by side from a distance to the dean's office, and both of them smiled when they saw Du Ruoxia.

"Xiaxia!"

"Du Ruoxia!"

The two spoke in unison and quickened their pace simultaneously.

Du Ruoxia smiled directly at Yang Zeyan and said, "You're back!"

Song Shifeng felt utterly chilled. He watched helplessly as Du Ruoxia ran towards Yang Zeyan, and in the end, he could only let out a soft sigh.

"Minister Song, congratulations on surviving this ordeal!" Du Ruoxia pulled Yang Zeyan's hand and turned to speak to Song Shifeng.

Song Shifeng smiled and said, "It was indeed a close call, an unforgettable experience!"

Du Ruoxia understood the meaning behind his words; he must have met enough unforgettable people here.

"Why weren't you waiting for me at the guesthouse? Where's Wang Hu?" Yang Zeyan asked with concern.

"Oh, she's here to hide from someone!" Dean Liu interjected.

"What's going on?" Yang Zeyan's expression turned serious.

Du Ruoxia grinned awkwardly; this matter was getting bigger and bigger.

"This matter is a bit complicated. It seems the other party knows Minister Song," Du Ruoxia said awkwardly.

Yang Zeyan and Song Shifeng both stared at Du Ruoxia, while Dean Liu, not wanting to miss out on the fun, squeezed in.

"Here's what happened!"

Du Ruoxia sighed, realizing that Dean Liu was even more nervous than she was, which made her seem indifferent.

After Dean Liu finished explaining, we had a general understanding of the whole matter. What was surprising was that Yang Zeyan and Song Shifeng seemed to be quite familiar with the Chen family.

"Is Old Madam Chen from Xilan City?" Yang Zeyan asked Song Shifeng, frowning.

"Yes, that should be true. My grandmother has received local specialties from Xilan City before," Song Shifeng replied with a puzzled nod.

"What do you think?" Yang Zeyan asked again, and Du Ruoxia felt that things were not so simple.

"It's hard to say," Song Shifeng said in a deep voice.

Song Shifeng had never given Yang Zeyan a kind look, except for this matter, in which the two communicated.

"Comrade Du, is this your man?" Dean Liu suddenly asked.

Du Ruoxia then realized that she hadn't introduced Yang Zeyan's identity to Dean Liu, so she carefully introduced him once more.

"Not bad, not bad. No wonder Comrade Du said you were very outstanding. It's normal for someone like you not to have any intention of getting a divorce." Dean Liu nodded and looked Yang Zeyan up and down.

After he finished speaking, the two men's expressions changed. Yang Zeyan's face darkened, while Song Shifeng looked surprised.

"Um, let me explain, it's not what you think!" Du Ruoxia said urgently, grabbing Yang Zeyan's hand.

Yang Zeyan remained silent with a sullen face. Dean Liu, who was standing to the side, realized that he had said something wrong and quickly spoke up.

"Comrade, what I mean is that Old Mrs. Chen said she wanted Comrade Du to be her granddaughter-in-law, but Comrade Du disagreed. Don't overthink it!"

Du Ruoxia felt like she wanted to die on the spot. Was it appropriate for Yang Zeyan to know these things?

Song Shifeng raised his hand and touched his nose, laughing rather unkindly. Yang Zeyan shot him a cold glare, and Song Shifeng looked away.

"What else does she want to do?" Yang Zeyan asked Dean Liu with an annoyance.

Dean Liu shook his head, scratching his head in confusion, and said, "That's it. Chen, the Discipline Inspection Commission member, said that breaking up military marriages is illegal, so he wanted to adopt Comrade Du as his granddaughter."

“I’m telling you, this is a fantastic opportunity. Once you become the son-in-law of the Chen family, your path will be much easier. Don’t be foolish.”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Du Ruoxia, Dean Liu changed his mind and tried to persuade Yang Zeyan instead. He went to great lengths to get Du Ruoxia to agree.

"When has my woman, Yang Zeyan's woman, ever needed the Chen family as her maternal family?!" Yang Zeyan said through gritted teeth.

Song Shifeng glanced at Yang Zeyan leisurely before speaking to Dean Liu.

"Why did the old lady do this?" Song Shifeng asked calmly, without any of Yang Zeyan's anger, but rather with a hint of schadenfreude.

Dean Liu recounted how Du Ruoxia had performed surgery on the old lady, and Yang Zeyan was not surprised by his wife's medical skills.

"Then what about the family reunion? And what happened to rescuing a grandmother?" Yang Zeyan continued to ask Du Ruoxia.

Du Ruoxia forced an awkward smile, "That was an idea suggested by the old lady of the Chen family on a whim, and I couldn't refuse."

Yang Zeyan, however, did not believe it. His cold gaze was fixed on Du Ruoxia. "Is it that you can't refuse, or do you have other ideas? Granddaughter-in-law?"

Du Ruoxia's heart skipped a beat; this was the sign of jealousy. She looked at Song Shifeng for help.

Song Shifeng ignored her. When he asked Du Ruoxia to call him "Brother Feng," she didn't respond and instead called someone else "Grandma."

He suddenly remembered that the Chen family also had a son, and looked at Du Ruoxia with a dangerous glint in his eyes, asking, "Have you met with people from the Chen family?"

Du Ruoxia nodded, puzzled. "I saw him."

"Did you also see Chen Yizhou?" Song Shifeng continued.

"Yes." Du Ruoxia nodded again.

Song Shifeng's expression immediately darkened, and he stepped forward, asking seriously, "What did he say?"

Du Ruoxia, puzzled, repeated Chen Yizhou's exact words.

"See, I told you the Chen family is satisfied with Comrade Du, right? Whether it's a granddaughter-in-law or a granddaughter, they both have a chance!" Dean Liu added from the side.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Yang Zeyan and Song Shifeng spoke up together, startling Dean Liu into silence. He stood up straight, looking frightened.

"I'm just giving you advice. The Chen family is a prominent family in Kyoto. With that backing, Comrade Du will surely rise to prominence," Dean Liu said with a wronged expression.

"Dean Liu, please say less," Du Ruoxia said, looking at Dean Liu pleadingly.

Yang Zeyan and Song Shifeng exchanged a glance and suddenly formed a united front: "Shall we go and meet them?"

Song Shifeng clenched his fist. "Let's go!"
