Thinking of this, Su Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

Su Changqing was only 17 years younger than his father, and by the time his father passed away, he would be old.

And I am still young. As long as Su Jindong is crippled, just like Meifang said, could Su Changqing possibly have another one to fight against me?

Haha, even if he could actually give birth to it, it's uncertain whether he could raise it to adulthood.

Even if we could raise him, would Dad be alive by then?

When the time comes and Dad has no other choice, he will have to keep everything for himself.

Su Chang'an walked happily towards the dormitory. When he returned to the dormitory building, he saw Su Jindong standing in the corridor, staring blankly downstairs, with a sweet smile on his lips.

Su Chang'an rolled his eyes and walked towards the dormitory next door, deliberately chatting loudly with the vice class monitor of Class 3.

"Ah Zheng, last time I heard you say that your girlfriend wants to study at a military medical school and is trying to get a spot?"

"How can you be so carefree? As your good brother, I have to remind you."

"Going to military academy will take at least a year or two. It will be extremely difficult for you to see each other then. Moreover, if you perform well in your studies, you might be retained by the academy. Besides, who knows if you will return to your original post in our unit after you graduate?"

"If you really like her, you absolutely must not let her go."

"We don't want to end up with nothing at all."

"You know, medics and sergeants are in high demand. I don't want to lose my girlfriend too..."

"No, really?"

"Why not? You're a deputy squad leader now, and she's just an ordinary medic. You're both on the same starting line, with common ideals and pursuits, so your relationship is bound to be good."

"But when she returns after completing her studies, she'll have many more options. She might even be able to pick and choose between the company commander and the battalion commander. How could she possibly still have a place for you, the deputy squad leader?"

"So, if you truly love her, don't give her the chance to leave you. Women are very realistic, you know."

While Su Chang'an was advising A Zheng, he was secretly observing Su Jindong with his eyes.

Seeing Su Jindong listening intently, a calculating glint flashed across his face.

The fool took the bait.

Su Jindong did indeed take Su Chang'an's words to heart.

He was in a state of turmoil. He had to leave for two years? And if he did well in his studies, he might even be able to stay at the university? Even if he could come back, he might not be able to return to his original unit?

Wouldn't it be incredibly difficult for him to even see Comrade Ning Yan? They've been separated for so long, and Comrade Ning Yan is so outstanding; what if she has a new suitor? Then he...

Su Jindong shook his head. How could he think like that?

He had already promised her that he would speak up for her in front of her grandfather.

A jumble of emotions welled up in Su Jindong's heart. He wanted Ning Yan to get what she wanted, but he didn't want her to be too far away from him.

On the other side, Zhou Ningyan was also unable to calm down for a long time after returning to her dormitory.

She absolutely had to get this opportunity for further study; such life-changing opportunities were rare, and she was determined to seize it.

Although she hadn't read many books, she understood a principle: no one's support is as reliable as one's own.

The average female soldier might aspire to marry into a wealthy and powerful family, hoping to find refuge under a powerful patron.

But she didn't think so. She believed that everything in this world was meaningless, and only what she controlled truly belonged to her.

If she stands tall enough, things that she currently looks up to will be within her grasp in the future.

Although she didn't have much affection for Su Jindong, it's undeniable that Su Jindong treated her very well.

These past few days, he's been pampering and coaxing me; it would be a lie to say there wasn't a trace of genuine affection in him.

But this genuine affection wasn't enough for her to give up this opportunity.

Originally, she was only after Su Jindong's reputation as the grandson of Commander Su, and Su Jindong was simple-minded, a man she could easily control.

Living with this kind of man means having a powerful backer and being obedient. Even if he's not very successful, things won't be too bad for you.

But what Su Chang'an said today made her firm heart waver again.

If Su Jindong's family background is really as Su Chang'an said, then he is not suitable for me.

Those of them who choose the military or political path are most wary of issues related to their family background!

Of course, she wouldn't believe everything Su Chang'an said.

Now she's just waiting for news from Su Jindong.

If he could really help me get this training opportunity, then everything Su Chang'an said would be a lie.

She will definitely hold onto Su Jindong like a big tree, and after she returns from her studies, she will be completely worthy of Su Jindong, even in front of Commander Su.

However, if he doesn't get a spot for further studies, then what Su Chang'an said might be true, and Commander Su might not care about his ex-wife's grandson at all.

For her, someone whose family background was problematic and who couldn't benefit from Commander Su's influence was of no significance!

Even if she does have some feelings for him, don't blame her for ruthlessly stepping on him to climb up the social ladder!

Su Chang'an could also foresee Zhou Ningyan's thoughts, which is why he deliberately spoke those ambiguous words to A Zheng in front of Su Jindong.

He wanted Su Jindong to be stabbed in the chest by the woman he loved and cared about most.

Even if his career is ruined, and something unexpected happens during the process, and Su Jindong's stigma is truly cleared, he may not be able to recover in a short time because of the person who stabbed him in the back.

Su Jindong hesitated for two days without making a move.

Su Yi came to inspect the team that day, and Zhou Ningyan also found out. As soon as Su Yi left, she immediately arranged to meet Su Jindong at their usual spot.

"Brother Jin Dong, how did it go? Did you mention that matter to Commander Su?"

"I heard that the quota will be finalized by the end of the month."

Faced with Zhou Ningyan's expectant gaze, Su Jindong felt a little flustered.

“Ning Yan, I heard that the further studies will last for two years, and the school is under closed management. It will be very difficult for us to see each other again after that. Moreover, even if you return after completing your studies, you may not be able to transfer back to your original unit. If you are transferred to another military region, then we…”

Su Jingjin gritted his teeth, grasped Zhou Ningyan's hand, and whispered, "Ningyan, how about we don't go? I can't bear to part with you!"

Zhou Ningyan's gaze instantly turned cold. "So, you didn't mention it to Commander Su?"

Su Jindong grew anxious. "Ning Yan, listen to me. I just don't want to be separated from you. Look, we're in the same company now, and we can see each other often..."

A fierce glint flashed in Zhou Ningyan's eyes as she flung Su Jindong's hand away.

This was the first time she had ever seen a man make his incompetence sound so grand and dignified.

Even though he's clearly not favored, he still tries to act like a second-generation official in front of her.

If he can't get it, he can't get it, or rather, he simply doesn't dare to ask for it.

Just say it directly, why tell her you can't bear to part with her?

What a piece of trash!
