Chapter 235 Lai Xiang was misunderstood

235

Wu Jinghui didn't go to work today. Nie Qianwen went out for a walk for half the morning and came home at noon. "Mom, I heard that the state-owned restaurant is having braised pork for lunch today. Should we go and eat it? We can also bring some back for Dad to eat in the evening."

"You, all you think about is eating."

Nie Qianwen went over and acted coquettishly, pulling Wu Jinghui's arm and shaking it non-stop, "Mom, let's go."

Wu Jinghui had no choice but to agree because of her daughter's pestering.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Lai Xiang chatting enthusiastically with a little girl, next to whom sat a handsome man. Wu Jinghui frowned. Lai Xiang was already 19 years old, and she had introduced her to several potential partners, but Lai Xiang always made excuses not to go.

Could it be that she has taken a fancy to this second-married man?

Wu Jinghui was immediately unhappy. After all, Lai Xiang was her niece and came from a good family. She couldn't let this second-married man take a fancy to her. Seeing that the man was wearing a green military uniform, it seemed that he knew Lai Xiang's identity and came here deliberately to get close to her.

When she got angry, she spoke harshly, "Lai Xiang!"

Lai Xiang was excitedly asking Tang Yue why she came to Beijing when she heard someone angrily calling her name. She looked up and saw her aunt and cousin standing at the hotel entrance, looking at her.

The anger in the aunt's eyes could not be concealed at all, and Nie Qianwen looked at Xiao Yueyue and Uncle Tang with some curiosity.

Lai Xiang stood up and said, "Auntie, Wenwen, you guys come and have dinner too."

Wu Jinghui walked to the table and said, "If I hadn't come out today, I wouldn't know what you did."

Lai Xiang was confused. "Aunt, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What did I do?"

Wu Jinghui became even angrier when she saw that Lai Xiang still refused to admit it. However, this was a state-owned restaurant after all, with many people and gossips. After all, their family was a well-known one, and they couldn't let others laugh at them.

"Come out with me."

Lai Xiang looked at Wu Jinghui, then at Tang Yue, gave Tang Yue a look that told her to stay calm, and followed him out.

After leaving the hotel, he found an empty space and said, "Lai Xiang, no wonder you didn't like the many people I introduced to you. What's the matter? Are you attracted to a divorced man with a child?"

Lai Xiang's eyes widened in shock. Just as she opened her mouth, Wu Jinghui continued, "Lai Xiang, I'm telling you, I don't agree. Not only me, but even your mother wouldn't agree."

"Lai Xiang, you grew up in a military compound, how could your eyesight be so bad? Who could fool you with just a few nice words? You really are..."

“That’s enough!”

Lai Xiang couldn't bear to listen any longer, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. If this was her biological mother, would she just put the blame on her daughter without asking any questions?

It seems that she really can't stay at her aunt's house anymore.

Wu Jinghui was even more furious when she saw Lai Xiang’s angry attempt to stop her. “What? Am I wrong for doing this for your own good? I’ll support you…”

"Aunt, support me? I give you money every month, and my mother gives you 500 yuan every year. Aunt, can I eat 500 yuan in your house in a year? Also, aunt, have you asked who is in my room?

You're just accusing me of something right off the bat. Have you ever respected me?"

Wu Jinghui had never seen Lai Xiang like this before. It was as if the well-behaved and obedient niece had disappeared all of a sudden. The girl in front of her was sharp and had cold eyes, as if she saw through her in an instant.

"Aunt, the people inside are Xiao Yueyue and her father. I just met them on the road. We haven't said a few words yet, but in your eyes, I'm going to marry them."

Wu Jinghui's eyes widened and she felt guilty for a moment. She didn't expect it to be like this, but she couldn't apologize to a junior.

"Cousin, why are you talking to my mom like that? My mom is doing this for your own good. She's afraid that you might do something wrong. What has my mom done wrong? Why are you talking to her like that?"

Lai Xiang didn't want to pay attention to the mother and daughter now, "Aunt, I'll go back first if I'm alright."

After saying that, they went straight into the restaurant. Tang Yue sat on a chair in the room and watched the whole conversation. She didn't expect that she and her father would cause trouble for Sister Lai.

Lai Xiang adjusted his mood and sat down. "Xiao Yueyue, Uncle Tang, let's eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Tang Yue smiled and nodded, and then they chatted for a while, but it was obvious that Lai Xiang was in a bad mood. After dinner, Tang Yue used the excuse that she had something else to do and left with Lai Xiang. However, Tang Yue promised Lai Xiang that she would come to visit her again in a few days.

Tang Shengkai had good hearing, but the state-owned restaurant was too noisy, so he didn't hear what Lai Xiang and Wu Jinghui were talking about outside. However, he could see that the girl was unhappy after she came back.

"Daughter, have we brought trouble to your friend?"

Tang Yue thought about it, and it was true. But Sister Lai's aunt was really thoughtful. Her father must be in his 30s, right?

Tang Yue looked up at her father. Huh? Why did her father look so young now, like a young man in his mid-twenties? Oh, no wonder. Tang Yue shook her head.

"Well, Dad, I'll go out by myself next time. There aren't many benefits to bringing Dad along."

Tang Shengkai was unwilling, "Hey? You little girl, do you dislike your father?" As he said that, he lowered his head and scratched Tang Yue's armpit.

Tang Yue really had a ticklish spot, "Haha, Dad, no, no." As she said that, she rushed forward a few steps and distanced herself from Tang Shengkai.

She didn't tell Wu Jinghui about her misunderstanding, to avoid awkwardness when her father and Sister Lai met in the future. She could see that people of this generation were relatively simple and honest, especially when it came to relationships between men and women, they were even more cautious.

The two of them wandered around the alleys of the capital for a long time, and only rushed to the army when it was almost dark.

Just after washing up, Chang Yin came over and knocked on the door. "Battalion Commander."

"Where did you go? You haven't been seen all day."

Tang Yue sat on the chair and said, "Go out for a walk. Does the battalion commander want to talk to me about something?"

"Today, several division commanders of the troops came to see you."

Tang Yue frowned, "I don't know them, why are they looking for me?"

Tang Yue didn't think she had any relationship with the teachers. Chang Yin looked at the confused little girl and didn't know what to say.

"It seems that the news that you saved the treasure and captured two snipers yesterday has spread throughout the entire army."

Tang Yue...was it just this little thing that was worth all the trouble? Chang Yin saw that the little girl didn't seem to care, so he reminded her, "Just stay in the army tomorrow and wait. Don't run around."

Tang Yue was somewhat reluctant. She wanted to unload all the treasures quickly, and then find a way to find out the exact time when the Japanese people would come. She wanted to solve the troubles at home as soon as possible and didn't want to delay any longer.

"Okay, I understand. But Captain, have you reported to your superiors that I brought other treasures?"

Chang Yin......

"Teacher Kang will communicate, we just need to wait for the notification."

Although Tang Yue had only been there for one day, she seemed to be able to feel that the troops in the capital were not unified.

"Battalion Commander, are the people you said coming here the real ones Commander Kang is looking for? Shouldn't we confirm it?"

Chang Yin...this little girl is quite smart.

"How do you want to confirm it?" Tang Yue thought, "How about we call Commander Kang to confirm it?"

Chang Yin thought about it and nodded, "I'll call you when I get home tonight."

Tang Yue......

She also wanted to ask about her family's situation, but since they weren't around, how could she ask?

"What's up?"

"It's nothing serious, I just don't know how things are going at home. I want to ask."

Chang Yin nodded and said, "I'll ask for you when I call. But since Commander Kang hasn't called, it means your home is safe."

Tang Yue nodded halfheartedly. Suddenly, she felt a little homesick. She missed her mom, her brothers, and her grandpa. And that little one, well, she missed him a little too.

Chang Yin patted Tang Yue's shoulder and said, "What's wrong? I have something to tell you."

Tang Yue hummed lazily.

Chang Yin spoke directly, "It's about the three siblings of the Xiao family."

"Ah?" Tang Yue suddenly became alert.
