"Brother Ding? Who is Brother Ding?"

Xia Enruo was somewhat puzzled, as there were very few men with the surname Ding among them.

Zhao Mingyan's words confused her as well.

Mao Xiangling glanced at the three of them, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She seemed somewhat bewildered, shaking her head and smiling wryly:

"Don't look at me, I don't know anyone with the surname Ding."

Is she a colleague from your company?

Zhao Mingyan shook her head and just smiled foolishly, no longer speaking.

The three of them looked at each other and fell silent.

Ge Qiuqin picked up her glass of red wine, took a sip, and her eyes immediately lit up. She turned to ask:

"You're not talking about Haotian, are you?!"

Seeing Zhao Mingyan nod, Ge Qiuqin's tone immediately became excited.

"Oh my god, it's him! It really is him! Mingyan, when did this happen?"

When did you meet him? I don't think you two have any work or personal interactions.

Girl, you've been keeping this a secret! You're really something else!

Ge Qiuqin's mouth fired off a series of question marks like a machine gun.

She never expected that Zhao Mingyan's crush was actually Ding Haotian, who had lived in the same compound.

Not to mention Ding Haotian's fair skin, tall and strong.

At the time, Qiao Huizhen probably chose him because of this, and also because she thought he was a military officer.

They were originally a happy family that everyone in the compound envied, but who knew that Qiao Huizhen was a heartless viper, and in the end, the truth came out and the two divorced.

After that, Ge Qiuqin saw him very rarely, only occasionally when she went to the troops.

Although her appearance hasn't changed, her energy and spirit have declined significantly since the divorce.

Seeing everyone else coming and going in pairs, he probably became the laughing stock of the whole group.

No one would feel embarrassed.

Xia Enruo was momentarily confused upon hearing Ge Qiuqin's excited tone.

"Who exactly is Sister Qiuqin? Tell me quickly, it's making us all anxious to guess!"

"Haotian, Haotian, you don't know? Enruo, I think you've lost your memory!"

Xia Enruo was a little stunned by what was said; he really couldn't remember who this person was.

Seeing Xia Enruo's vacant expression, Ge Qiuqin couldn't help but remind her.

"Qiao Huizhen's husband, your husband's comrade-in-arms!"

Xia Enru was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

"So it was him! Mingyan, you're really something, you kept it well hidden! I never imagined you two had met before."

The mention of Qiao Huizhen and Xia Enruo's memories were finally awakened.

This is the number one enemy I encountered after transmigrating to the military compound.

Arriving here, I was unfamiliar with the place and people, and I suffered a lot of bullying and attempts to sow discord.

It's just that they look down on the military wives in the compound because they're all uneducated peasants.

She was also furious that her husband's position was half a head lower than Gu Shaoxuan's.

So she would often find opportunities to provoke a fight between herself and Gu Shaoxuan.

Looking back now, this happened four or five years ago.

Time flies by, and it's as if you've forgotten this person if you don't mention them.

Gu Shaoxuan later mentioned to me a few times that Ding Haotian's matchmaking attempts had repeatedly failed.

She's probably around 34 or 35 years old, and she's divorced with a son.

Any working woman wouldn't want to marry someone from a family with such financial means.

Although Ding Haotian has a very upright appearance, like a tough guy with a strong backbone.

But this kind of look wasn't popular in this era; everyone preferred the style of Hong Kong heartthrobs.

Long, curly hair is quite popular.

Zhao Mingyan explained shyly:

“I saw him once before at the medical university store. He and his brother-in-law came to the store after returning from the army.”

Later, I went with the chairman to help cook for the troops, and we met a few more times.

Zhao Mingyan covered her cheeks, still feeling embarrassed to say those words, after all, Ding Haotian was a divorcee.

She was still a virgin, and she wouldn't have opened up to him if she hadn't drunk some red wine today.

However, despite liking him, Zhao Mingyan still felt that she was not good enough for him.

Ding Haotian was, after all, a military officer, while he himself had once been a beggar.

Who would want to form a family with someone who used to be a beggar and beg for food on the streets?

It would be embarrassing to tell anyone.

Hearing Zhao Mingyan say this reminded Xia Enruo of some things from the past.

But at the time, she didn't notice at all that Zhao Mingyan actually had feelings for Ding Haotian.

If I had known earlier, I would have definitely tried to match the two of them up, even though Qiao Huizhen is a vicious person who has bullied me a lot in the past.

But Ding Haotian was an upright man who had never done anything immoral. At most, he had just listened to Qiao Huizhen's whispers.

Ultimately, I don't have any grudges or hatred between me and him. Little Tiger seems to be a sensible child; he just didn't have a good mother.

I wonder how things are going back in the village now. If I had continued my studies, I guess I would be in junior high school by now.

"Mingyan, why didn't you say so sooner? Your brother-in-law told me about it once when he came back."

After Ding Haotian's divorce, the military organized several social gatherings, but no one was interested in him.

He was quite disappointed about this, and lost his enthusiasm for work.

If I had known this would happen, I would have set you two up a long time ago.

Zhao Mingyan shook her head with a wry smile.

"My three sisters, I've had some drinks today, which has given me courage and makes me happy."

That's just talk; I'm really not good enough for him.

As you all know, I used to beg for food and beg from my older brother.

Compared to Brother Ding, he's not on the same level.

It's just something I think about myself.

Ge Qiuqin disagreed with this and quickly retorted:

"Bullshit!! Mingyan, stop saying such discouraging things."
