In the living room, the air seemed to freeze, and a subtle atmosphere quietly spread.

Su Wantang stood up gently, pulled Fu Yanci's arm, and signaled him with his eyes to go out for a walk together.

Fu Yanci understood what he meant, and with a faint smile on his face, he followed Su Wantang out.

Liang Junwen and Liu Wei also noticed the strange atmosphere, looked at each other, and hurried to catch up with Fu Yanci.

"Captain, sister-in-law, wait for us, we want to go for a walk too!"

In a blink of an eye, only Zhang Nuan and Qiu Jingjing were left sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Qiu Jingjing watched everyone suddenly leave, her eyes suddenly became flustered, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She could no longer control her inner grievance and burst into tears.

Her lips trembled slightly and she looked at Zhang Nuan in disbelief with a crying voice.

Her voice was still a little choked up: "Nuan Nuan, why? Why doesn't he like me? What did I do wrong?"

Zhang Nuan sighed helplessly, frowned slightly, patted Qiu Jingjing's shoulder gently, and said, "Jingjing, don't be like this..."

Qiu Jingjing bit her lip, showing a hint of stubbornness on her face, and retorted: "Nuannuan, do you all think I have some purpose? I really don't have any. I fell in love with your brother at first sight. Is it wrong to like someone?"

At this time, Zhang Junshan walked out of the kitchen, saw Qiu Jingjing pulling Zhang Nuan, and heard what she said.

Zhang Junshan frowned slightly, thinking that he couldn't let her get deeper into trouble, so he decided to reject her in person and stop her from thinking about it.

When Qiu Jingjing saw Zhang Junshan, her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly stood up and walked towards Zhang Junshan.

Zhang Junshan subconsciously took two steps back, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Qiu Jingjing looked lonely. She bit her lip and mustered up the courage to speak eagerly: "Comrade Zhang, I... I like you. Can you... can you..."

Zhang Junshan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Qiu Jingjing, a female comrade, would be so direct.

In order to prevent her from getting further involved, he quickly interrupted: "Comrade Qiu, please be careful with your words. I already have someone I like."

There was a flash of surprise in Qiu Jingjing's eyes. She staggered back two steps with an expression of disbelief on her face.

She asked in a trembling voice: "How is it possible?! She... who is she?"

Before Zhang Jun could answer, Dong Zhiqiu came out of the kitchen.

She stood in front of Qiu Jingjing, her expression serious, her eyes revealing a hint of majesty: "Jingjing, you are overstepping the line! I didn't want to say anything more to a little girl like you, but your feelings for our Junshan are too inexplicable!"

Qiu Jingjing looked at Dong Zhiqiu, her eyes full of grievance and tears welling up in her eyes.

She cried, "Auntie, I didn't... I just wanted Comrade Zhang to know how I feel about him..."

Dong Zhiqiu shook his head and sighed, "Okay, he already knows and has expressed his attitude, so don't force it."

As he spoke, Dong Zhiqiu looked up at the time on the wall clock and ordered Qiu Jingjing, who was still in a daze, to leave: "Jingjing, today is our family dinner, and Nuannuan's father should be back soon. Do you want to stay here or should I ask someone to take you back?"

Qiu Jingjing was sensitive to begin with, and when she heard Dong Zhiqiu's words, she immediately realized that he was trying to drive her away.

She bit her lips tightly and subconsciously looked at Zhang Nuan, her eyes full of pleading, hoping that Zhang Nuan would ask her to stay.

Zhang Nuan was about to speak, but Dong Zhiqiu said to her, "Nuan Nuan, come upstairs with me. I have prepared a thank-you gift for Comrade Su."

Zhang Nuan lowered her head helplessly and followed Dong Zhiqiu.

Qiu Jingjing looked at Zhang Junshan helplessly and asked with tears in her eyes, "Comrade Zhang, can you please... not chase me away?"

She felt that she had behaved in a pitiful manner, and he should be gentle with her.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Junshan's eyes turned cold and he completely ignored her.

He turned to Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt Wang, please send Comrade Qiu off, and bring Comrade Fu and the others back for dinner."

Wang Ma immediately stepped forward and gestured to Zhang Nuan, "Comrade Qiu, please come this way."

Qiu Jingjing bit her lip, feeling ashamed and angry.

However, Zhang Junshan had already turned around and left, going upstairs.

In the empty living room, only Qiu Jingjing and Wang Ma were left.

Aunt Wang spoke again: "Comrade Qiu, this way please."

Qiu Jingjing stamped her feet in anger and walked quickly towards the door.

Humph, the Zhang family is so contemptuous!

Zhang Nuan!

Zhang Junshan!

One day, I will make you pay for the humiliation you inflicted on me today!
