Chapter 117 We'll Talk About It Later
After hanging up the phone, Lin Anan was still a little dazed, her mind full of the troubles caused by Jiang Tong. She felt that her three views were challenged again and again, and the depression in her chest could not be dispelled.
Seeing this, Chu Mingzhou stretched out his long arm, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and advised her in a gentle voice: "Don't think about it anymore, it's all in the past. I have arranged people to keep an eye on her. She can't cause any trouble."
Lin Anan looked up at him and responded softly, "I know, I was just angry for a moment, it will be fine after a while."
Chu Mingzhou patted her shoulders twice and persuaded her all the way as if he was coaxing a child.
The two walked out of the office side by side. The afternoon sun was rare and generous, casting strands of warmth.
On the way back to the yard, Chu Mingzhou was talkative for a rare time and told him some interesting stories in the army.
In the end, Lin Anan was so amused that she burst into laughter, and the gloom in her face finally faded a little.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Zihuai came up to him and said, "Sister, are you done with your phone call? How was your conversation with mom and dad?"
"It was a good chat, and I even talked about you, so you can be more sensible."
"That's right. After the experience in the army, I am of course different from before." Lin Zihuai's face was full of pride.
Lin Anan was about to go back to the house, but suddenly stopped and said softly, "By the way, Jiang Tong asked my parents to borrow money, and the first thing he asked for was two hundred."
The smile on Lin Zihuai's face froze instantly, his eyes full of disbelief, "What? She still has the nerve to ask her parents for money?"
Lin Anan shrugged helplessly, "That's right."
Things happened one after another... and Lin Zihuai's ignorant and immature goodwill was completely extinguished.
His cheeks flushed with anger. "Why did she ask my parents for money? What she did...isn't she afraid that my parents will know?"
Lin Anan sneered, not disguising her sarcasm: "Why, you don't think she's cute now?"
Lin Zihuai: “…”
Chu Mingzhou took Lin Anan's hand again and said, "You go in and rest first. I believe Zihuai will not be confused anymore. Even if he wants to, he won't have the chance."
Lin Zihuai was even more speechless.
But at this moment, he had completely let go of the last bit of affection he had for Jiang Tong.
The third day of the Chinese New Year.
In previous years, the third day of the Lunar New Year was an important day for ancestor worship.
But these days, with strict inspections and prohibitions, the custom of ancestor worship has almost been abolished.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, most people stay at home and rarely go out.
Only Chu Mingzhou has been waiting for the third day of the Chinese New Year, because Brigade Commander Tang will return to the army on the third day of the Chinese New Year to do some work, and he has to go and get the divorce application back so that he can feel at ease.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Chu Mingzhou got up, carefully packed several decent gifts, and then hurried out.
When he arrived at Brigade Commander Tang’s office, Chu Mingzhou knocked on the door politely and only went in after being granted permission.
"Why is Mingzhou here? You are so diligent. It's not your turn today."
Chu Mingzhou saluted politely and reported, "Commander, I'm here to pick up the divorce application. I heard it's in your hands now."
"Um?"
Brigadier General Tang looked up at him and asked, "You mean... you want to take back the divorce application? Instead of asking me to review it as soon as possible?"
Chu Mingzhou quickly explained: "Yes, I want it back. My lover and I have cleared up all the misunderstandings and we don't plan to divorce."
Brigade Commander Tang had a complicated expression, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Mingzhou, this matter will have to wait a little longer."
Chu Mingzhou was startled and asked hurriedly, "Commander, is there any missing paperwork? Please point it out and I will do it right away."
Brigade Commander Tang coughed lightly, seeming to be in a dilemma: "It's not a matter of procedure. It's just after the Chinese New Year, and all affairs are still in a mess. You know, military affairs cannot be sloppy. Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival, and then we can talk about it."
Chu Mingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he keenly sensed that something was wrong. He pursed his lips and looked directly into Brigade Commander Tang's eyes: "Brigade Commander..."
"alright."
Brigade Commander Tang avoided his sight and lowered his head to write something again, seeming to be very busy.
"Mingzhou, you are a good candidate. I have always valued you, but you should be sensible in your actions. At least you should know the time and occasion."
Chu Mingzhou's face instantly turned cold, and he said firmly: "Commander, the divorce application is a legal procedure, I hope you won't make it difficult for me."
Brigade Commander Tang frowned, looking a little unhappy: "I'm not trying to embarrass you, it's just a matter of official business. If you really want to cancel, come back after the Lantern Festival."
After saying that, he started looking at the documents by himself, making it clear that he didn't want to talk any more.
"OK."
Chu Mingzhou clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them, knowing that it was useless to argue at this moment. He could only suppress his anger and turn away.
Along the way, he was full of worries. This sudden change was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart.
He turned around, changed direction, and went straight to Captain Xu's house.
Even if we have to wait until the Lantern Festival, we must be prepared first. At the very least... we must make sure that we can get the divorce application back after the Lantern Festival instead of having it processed quietly.
Chu Mingzhou is such an insightful person that he can guess roughly about some things just by thinking about them, and his sixth sense is always very accurate.
I’m afraid that not only will I not be able to get my divorce application back, but it will also be sent directly for approval and have a general stamp!
By then... he and Lin Anan will really get divorced.
He is a soldier, and it is difficult for him to divorce, and even more difficult to remarry. It will also ruin Lin Anan's reputation.
Chu Mingzhou was extremely anxious and hurried towards Captain Xu's house.
The cold wind whistled past him, but he was unaware of it, his mind filled with worry about this tricky situation.
At this moment, he could only shamelessly go to Captain Xu to discuss the matter. While persuading Captain Xu, he also had to ask him to help find other leaders and ask them to mention the matter to Brigade Commander Tang.
Then Brigade Commander Tang had no choice but to nod.
Although it can be considered as exerting pressure and is somewhat insubordinate, but... this is one of the few ways to "break the deadlock".
Tang Jingqiao's appearance flashed through Chu Mingzhou's mind, and his eyes deepened with disgust.
Arriving at Captain Xu's house, Chu Mingzhou took a deep breath, calmed his chaotic emotions, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
Soon, the door opened. When Captain Xu saw that it was him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Ming Zhou? It's the third day of the Chinese New Year. Why are you here? Come in quickly."
Chu Mingzhou entered the house and said directly without beating around the bush: "Uncle Xu, I have a problem."
He took the initiative to call Uncle Xu and said it was a difficult problem.
It shows that the situation is serious!
Captain Xu frowned instantly and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
"Yes, Uncle Xu, do you remember? I filed for divorce years ago."
Head Xu was obviously stunned. "Divorce application? I remember. What's wrong?"
"Now that An An and I have resolved our misunderstanding, we just want to live a good life, so I need to withdraw this divorce application."
"Is that all?"
"Um."
"You can withdraw it if you want. It hasn't been approved yet, so just assume you never submitted it."
Chu Mingzhou frowned and pursed his lips, "But Commander Tang withheld my divorce application and insisted on waiting until after the Lantern Festival. I'm afraid the longer the night, the more trouble I'll have. You have to help me with this!"
Captain Xu immediately understood what he meant. "Don't be anxious. Take your time. It's just a divorce application. If you are willing to live a good life, everyone will be happy for you. Why is Captain Tang dragging you along?"
