"Yes, his mother and my mom are sisters, that is, my aunt, so he is my cousin."

Su He hadn't expected that the two of them had this kind of relationship. Then she thought about how Jiang Cheng's background seemed to be extraordinary. Did that mean that Lin Jingyan was not from an ordinary family either?

Although she was curious, she didn't ask directly. At the moment, she was more curious about Jiang Cheng.

“Since you’re his cousin, you should know about his situation, right? He suddenly resigned a few days ago, and we colleagues were all a bit worried.”

Lin Jingyan smiled when she asked, "Don't worry, he's fine. He just changed jobs. Since the new job needs to be kept secret and is not in the capital, no one has heard about it."

Su He listened thoughtfully, "I see. Is it related to his major in college?"

Lin Jingyan raised an eyebrow. "Yes."

Su He was relieved. "That's good. I always thought he wasn't suited for a police position."

"Oh? Why?"

Su He glanced at him and said, "There's no reason why. A young master like him is simply not suited to handle these trivial matters. I really don't know what he was thinking before."

Lin Jingyan laughed when he heard her description, "It's really unexpected that he was able to work at the police station. I don't know if you've heard that he originally wanted to join the army?"

"Hmm? I heard it's related to his brother." Su He thought for a moment and realized she seemed to have heard Sun Dahai mention it before.

Lin Jingyan nodded. "Yes, after graduation, he was assigned to a research institute, which was originally related to his major. However, the superior in charge of him at the time happened to be a member of the Shen family, so he was quite resistant to it."

Just then, news came back that my older cousin, Jiang Cheng's brother, had been killed in action in the army...

His aunt and uncle were devastated. Jiang Cheng wanted to follow in his older cousin's footsteps and join the army, but the Jiang family had already sacrificed one son, and they were unwilling to lose another. So no matter what he said, they disagreed. In the end, he gave up and simply went to work at the police station.

Su He sighed after hearing this, "So that's how it is..."

"Yes, my eldest cousin was the pride of my aunt's family. He was outstanding from a young age. Before his sacrifice, he was already a battalion commander and was about to be promoted to deputy regimental commander. It was a huge blow to the Jiang family, which is why they didn't want Jiang Cheng to take the risk as well."

"Parents always have the same heart, it's normal for them to think this way. But is the Shen family you're talking about Shen Ziyan's family?"

Lin Jingyan nodded. "The Shen family is a large family in the capital, with members engaged in various fields. The Jiang family cannot compare. Therefore, even if they dislike Shen Ziyan, they cannot openly refuse her. They can only avoid her. This is also the reason why Jiang Cheng left."

Su He listened thoughtfully, "But for him to leave like this is a slap in the face to the Shen family, isn't it?"

Lin Jingyan found her statement interesting. “Indeed, but Jiang Cheng’s departure this time was not officially led by the Jiang family. It was because the project needed him. Even if the Shen family knew, they couldn’t say anything. They could only suffer in silence. At most, there would be some estrangement, but they wouldn’t do anything openly.”

Hearing this, Su He felt relieved. "That's good."

After all, she had been Jiang Cheng's colleague for so long, and she hoped that he could be doing well.

After chatting about Jiang Cheng for a while, Su He couldn't help but ask, "And what about you? From what you've said, the Jiang family must be quite well-off. What about your family? It's not like that either, is it?"

At this point, she became a little nervous and couldn't help but back down. If it were true, she should really reconsider. After all, her current mindset was to keep a low profile and get through this period.

A large family obviously implies instability. Lianjiang Chengdu was forced to leave, and if she really marries into one, she will definitely face even more challenges.

As if guessing her thoughts, Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "No, the Jiang family is the Jiang family. Although our Lin family has been from the capital for generations, we are just an ordinary family. My parents don't have too many requirements for their future daughter-in-law. As long as I am satisfied, that's enough. After marriage, we just need to live our own lives well."

Su He was relieved to hear this, but blushed a little after understanding his meaning.

The two walked and talked until they reached the dormitory entrance, where Lin Jingyan reluctantly said, "Go in, can I come find you after get off work tomorrow?"

Su He nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you then."

Lin Jingyan then smiled.

"Okay, goodbye then."

"goodbye."
