"Getting married..." Huo Ci's throat moved slightly when he heard this, "Are you talking about Jiang Yushan?"

"Oh?" The director was surprised to hear him call out Jiang Yushan's name. He didn't expect that he actually knew her. "Do you know any other girls?"

But seeing how he asked, he probably isn't very familiar with the other person, otherwise he wouldn't even know the other person's identity.

That's right, how could a man like Huo Ci, who only knows how to train in the army and can only go back to his hometown a few times a year, have any girls he knows?

If there really was one, he would have been married and had children who could help with the cooking!

"No, it's someone else." The director shook his head. "That girl named Jiang Yushan is just the Jiang family's adopted daughter, not their biological daughter. I heard from the neighbors that the Jiang family has never been very kind to her. How could they possibly prepare a dowry for her?"

He heard these things from the police officers when they were gossiping. He also asked the neighbors about the general situation of the burglary at Jiang's house yesterday.

After knowing that the girl was just a weak adopted daughter and that the Jiang family did not treat her well, he felt sorry for her. Since she was not a biological daughter, she had no status in the family.

"Adopted daughter?" Huo Ci didn't expect to hear this news and was a little surprised.

But when I think about the day I met Jiang Yushan, she was alone and was bullied by hooligans without contacting her family to pick her up. It seems there must be a reason.

If it was their daughter who encountered such a thing, her family would definitely help her, but he heard that the gangster was released two days ago and it was said that they had settled the matter privately.

Huo Ci thought about it, and there was some heartache in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yushan. Maybe the little girl had never been loved at home?

His eyes were always on Jiang Yushan, and it was hard not to notice him.

Jiang Yushan turned around in confusion, and when he saw it was Huo Ci, he smiled at him, seemingly not affected by the situation at home at all.

Huo Ci was in a complicated mood. By the time he reacted, he had already waved to Jiang Yushan and called him over.

Jiang Yushan: “?”

Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she knew Huo Ci was a good person, so she walked over.

"Brother Huo, what's wrong?"

The Jiang family was still obsessed with the fact that their house had been robbed, and no one noticed Jiang Yushan's actions.

When Huo Ci saw someone coming, he took her to the corner, where the Jiang family would not see her.

"I just heard that something happened in your family. Take this money and buy some food. Don't go hungry." Huo Ci said as he stuffed twenty yuan into Jiang Yushan's hand.

This amount of money is not a small sum in this day and age. Wang Yamei can only earn this much in a month.

She had never met him before and had only met him once, but he spent an amount equivalent to an average person's monthly salary, which really surprised Jiang Yushan.

"No, no." She couldn't possibly take the money and quickly wanted to return it.

"Put it away first, don't let your family see it." Huo Ci insisted that she take it, "Keep it for yourself."

Jiang Yushan looked thin and weak, and was very small. If she didn't eat well, she would be blown away by a gust of wind.

Huo Ci said this, probably because he knew the situation of their family.

"But..." Jiang Yushan wanted to refuse, but seeing Huo Ci's firm attitude and the fact that he didn't seem to care much about the 20 yuan, she just thought that he was rich and kind-hearted, and that he did this because he felt sorry for her family.

All in all, Huo Ci had helped her twice. Jiang Yushan silently took note of this matter, thinking that she would have the chance to repay him in the future.

"Thank you." Jiang Yushan thanked them, but she was worried that the Jiang family would find out she was away, and that something strange might happen, so she hurried back.

Jiang Mingde and Wang Yamei were still taking statements with the police. Only Jiang Sisi noticed. When she came back, she glanced at Huo Ci at the corner, but from her angle, she could only see the man's back.

Oh my...

What a tall man!

How did you get together with Jiang Yushan?

"Aci, are you still staring at her? This girl is really beautiful. If you like her, just go after her." The director saw that Jiang Yushan had left and Huo Ci was still staring at her, so he pushed him from behind.

Although he didn't have much contact with Huo Ci, he had never seen him care so much about any girl. In the past, he always had a cold face when facing girls and didn't even look at them.

"Her house was just robbed. Is it appropriate for me to chase her now?" Huo Ci shook his head slightly. Taking advantage of someone in distress is not a manly thing to do.

"So what you mean is that you are indeed attracted to that girl?"

"Captain Zhao, I have to go back to the army tomorrow." Huo Ci lowered his eyes, changed the subject, and then turned and left.

The director looked at his back and sighed.

It seems that we are not destined to be together.

…

The Jiang family stayed in the police station until noon. Wang Yamei was hoping to get a meal there, but to no avail.

They hadn't eaten anything in the morning and were now exhausted. There was still no clue, so the police were helpless and could only let them go home and wait for news.

"Jiang Yushan, who was the man who called you away at the police station just now? What did he say to you?" Jiang Sisi asked the doubts that had been buried in her heart after returning home.

Now Jiang Yushan is about to go to the army, and Jiang Sisi is still waiting for her to repeat the tragedy of her previous life, and is worried that she will run away with other men.

"What man? Jiang Yushan, you are going to get married soon, how can you contact a man alone? If this gets out, will our Jiang family's reputation be ruined?" Wang Yamei became dissatisfied when she heard it, and she had already sentenced her in her mind.

"He was a kind-hearted person who helped me on the day Du Yingfan acted like a hooligan. I have to say hello to people I have helped before when I meet them. Otherwise, if I tell others about it, people will say that the Jiang family is impolite, right?" Jiang Yushan said calmly.

There was nothing wrong with what she said. When she was at the police station, she only exchanged a few words with Huo Ci, and there was no extra contact. It was impossible for Jiang Sisi to have seen the money being slipped into her pocket, so Jiang Yushan was confident in what she said.

“…”

This is indeed not a problem.

Although Wang Yamei was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything seeing Jiang Yushan's attitude.

Jiang Mingde also listened from the side, but didn't hear anything unusual from Jiang Yushan, so he let it go.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news that the Jiang family was robbed quickly spread throughout the town, and even the Du family heard the news.

After all, everything in the house disappeared without a trace, without even a clue, which was really surprising.

But now that the Du family knows about it, it is unlikely that they will sit idly by.

That afternoon, the Du family hurried to the Jiang family, under the pretext of caring about their in-laws, and also to find out how much assets the Jiang family had left.
