Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Qin Yao was extremely nervous. Perhaps because of Yu Baozhu's words, Qin Yao now felt terrified not only when she saw Yu Mei, but even just thinking about her was terrifying.
Looking back now, Yu Mei was never sincere when she was with her. Yu Mei always took and used her things without permission, and Yu Mei never gave her anything in return.
When she was in junior high school, she saw someone give Yu Mei food. Yu Mei secretly hid the food and ate it behind Qin Yao's back. In fact, Qin Yao had seen it a long time ago, but she didn't care.
At that time, Qin Yao often heard Yu Mei talk about her family's situation. In her description, she did not have a good life in Yu Family Country and was often bullied by Yu Baozhu. Qin Yao believed it to be true.
Yu Mei seemed particularly interested in the Qin family and their affairs, and would take the opportunity to ask Qin Yao about their family almost every day. At that time, Qin Yao was quite happy because her friend cared about and valued her.
Thinking about it now, it's terrifying!
The Qin family members are either in the military or government departments, and the affairs of either department are not topics for casual conversation.
Qin Yao immediately suspected Yu Mei of being an enemy agent, but after repeated consideration, she felt it was impossible. After all, Yu Mei was still very young at that time. What would a child know? The enemy would not send such a child to steal intelligence.
Then Qin Yao thought of Yu Mei's stepfather.
Yu Mei's stepfather is a politician, and he might be a competitor of someone in her family who is also in politics, so he wants to use Yu Mei to gather information.
Regardless of the reason, Qin Yao felt that Yu Mei was quite terrifying.
Qin Yao pulled Mu Jinghuai and ran quickly back to the Mu family home, not even reacting to people greeting them on the way.
Grandpa Mu knew that Mu Jinghuai and Qin Yao would be returning today, so he called Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng back early.
Xu Xinning currently has few theoretical classes, but many experimental and practical classes.
But with Du Changpu, her devoted fan, by her side, she entrusted many things to him.
As a result, Xu Xinning had more free time, while Li Youxuan found it increasingly difficult to find Du Changpu.
Xu Xinning thought this was a good thing. She unintentionally helped Du Changpu avoid unwanted romantic advances and could also help him improve his academic skills. It was a win-win situation.
Mu Jingheng may have already told Du Zhong about Du Changpu and Li Youxuan's affair, as Du Zhong has been keeping a closer eye on him lately.
In Du Zhong's heart, this grandson was good in every way, except that he was too late in understanding matters of love and sex.
Now that Du Changpu often studies with Xu Xinning, Du Zhong is much more at ease.
Du Zhong was also quite anxious about Du Changpu's marriage. After all, Jiang Juecheng and Mu Jinghuai, who were the same age as him, had both found their partners. How could he not be anxious?
Another reason is that many people are eyeing Du Changpu's marriage. The women in the family all have several aunts and uncles, and each of them has several suitable nieces and granddaughters. They all know that Du Changpu will be the head of the Du family in the future, so they are all eyeing this lucrative opportunity.
It would normally be a good thing if girls at school had a crush on Du Changpu, since Xu Xinning and Lin Ying are also students at the same school. Unfortunately, his grandson seems to have a knack for attracting trouble, and he's been targeted by people with ulterior motives.
Now that Du Changpu is with Xu Xinning, he hopes that Xu Xinning can help him find someone like her.
Fortunately, Xu Xinning was unaware of Du Zhong's thoughts, otherwise she would definitely have told him that he was overthinking things.
If Mu Jingheng, that doting husband, knew this, he would definitely say with a proud look that there is no one in the world who is similar to Xu Xinning, not even a tenth as similar.
Seeing Qin Yao hurriedly pulling Mu Jinghuai back, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng looked puzzled.
Mu Jingheng: "What happened? Did a dog chase you?"
Mu Jinghuai took Qin Yao's hand and led her to sit down on the sofa.
When the aunt saw the two of them return, she immediately came over and asked, "Are you hungry? The food will be ready soon. If you're really hungry, make yourself a cup of malted milk powder."
Mu Jinghuai: "It's alright, Auntie. Take your time, let's talk for a bit first."
The aunt liked Mu Jinghuai's polite nature and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. "Okay, then you young people can chat slowly."
The aunt went back to the kitchen to get busy again.
Xu Xinning poured two glasses of water for the two of them and then waited for what was to come. She knew that something extraordinary must have happened, otherwise Qin Yao wouldn't have been so frightened.
Mu Jinghuai handed the water to Qin Yao, who gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
Mu Jinghuai took a sip himself and then said, "I ran into Yu Mei at the gate of the compound."
Mu Jingheng: "Sigh! So what if we bumped into each other? I was worried something was wrong."
Mu Jinghuai: "When we came back, Yu Baozhu also came to see us off. She said that Yu Mei was a poisonous scorpion and that Yu Mei had a purpose in contacting Yao Yao from the beginning, and it was not just to get close to me. She told Yao Yao to stay away from her, especially not to contact her when she was alone."
Mu Jingheng frowned. He was a sensitive person and felt that Yu Baozhu would not say these things for no reason.
Although Yu Baozhu was not valued in the Yu family, she still had frequent contact with the mother and daughter. The fact that she reminded Qin Yao like this could only mean that she had discovered something extraordinary.
Mu Jingheng felt that this matter had to be taken seriously. After all, this was a military compound. Although classified information would not be brought back to the compound, everyone's status was not ordinary. If a family member with ulterior motives tried to trick them into revealing information, they might accidentally let something slip when they were relaxed.
Qin Yao: "Now that I think about it, Yu Mei used to really like to ask about our family. Even if I didn't tell her, she would try to get information out of me. Her father is in politics. Could it be because she's afraid of my older brother and his family?"
Mu Jingheng disagreed with Qin Yao's guess. He only knew that Yu Mei would not be interested in the Qin family for no reason.
Seeing that Mu Jingheng seemed to be deep in thought, Xu Xinning said to Qin Yao, "Sister-in-law, in that case, you should try not to go out alone in the future. We should not have the heart to harm others, but we must be wary of others."
Mu Jinghuai: "You're right, sister-in-law. Since you need to study, just stay home and review properly. If you don't understand something, you can ask your sister-in-law."
Qin Yao: "Okay!"
After dinner, Mu Jingheng and Mu Jinghuai went out.
Although Qin Yao hasn't moved in yet, Xu Xinning has already prepared a wedding room for them. Their room has a study attached, and she went back to her room after dinner.
Xu Xinning has a habit of taking a nap at noon, so she went back to her room.
The aunt was quite happy to see the sisters-in-law getting along so well.
The aunt was assigned to the Mu family by higher authorities. She is also a military dependent, and her husband and son are both soldiers. They currently live in the compound, but their home is not in this district; they currently live in a tenement building.
The aunt's husband now works in a military factory, and her son is in the same unit as Mu Jinghuai.
