"Huaying, come here. Auntie wants to tell you something. Let's go to the room and talk."
Li Suyao wanted to talk to her about private matters. Her son was already grown up and was deeply in love. She wanted to ask Yun Huaying what she thought. If she also approved of her son, they, as parents, would arrange the marriage as soon as possible.
Yun Huaying followed her into the small study. After closing the door, Li Suyao smiled and asked her to sit down. "Huaying, your aunt is quite straightforward. She doesn't like to beat around the bush. If my words accidentally touch upon something that bothers you, please tell me directly."
"Aunt, I like your personality. I'm also a straightforward person and don't like dealing with people who think too much."
Yun Huaying has a very good impression of the Han family. She has similar personalities to them, and they are all highly qualified people, so she gets along very cordially and harmoniously with them.
Li Suyao could see that this child was very smart and sincere. Although she seemed a little cold on the surface, she was actually a slow-warm-up person. After getting along with her for a long time, she would find that she was actually quite gentle and kind.
"Huaying, your aunt asked you to come in. You should know what I'm going to say."
"Know."
Yun Huaying nodded. She wasn't coy about her feelings, nor was she shy in front of her elders. She calmly confessed, "Aunt, I approve of Han Zheng and I like him, but I can't marry him now."
She clearly said that she loved her son, and Li Suyao was very happy, but she refused to get married. She was a little confused: "Is it because of the Yun family?"
Yun Huaying shook her head. "It's not about the Yun family, it's about my identity. Although I've severed ties with Fang Ziqiang and have published it in the newspaper, he is still my biological father. Having a father on death row will affect my future and career, and marrying Han Zheng won't pass the political review."
In fact, the couple had discussed this matter while lying in bed last night. Li Suyao believed that her parents-in-law had also considered this, but they did not stop Zhengzi's affection and were happy to support her, which showed that they did not care about her identity.
Han Zhangping and his wife have devoted countless efforts to educating their children. Their two sons and one daughter have all been brought up to be excellent. The second son has strong personal abilities. In terms of potential, ability and performance, he is better than his brother and cousin. If it were not for his special family circumstances, his future would be immeasurable.
There were many reasons for his retirement this time. The resistance from above did have a lot of impact on him, but it was the old man who really made the decision to let him retire.
As for why the old man let his grandson retire at the peak of his career, they knew it and understood the old man's good intentions.
Compared to future, life safety is the most important.
They are in the circle of power and have access to more core information than ordinary people outside. Now is the time when the struggle is most intense. It is not appropriate to show up and become a target. The best thing to do is to retreat and leave.
Leaving the army now is just a temporary measure. After the struggle above is over, he will return to his original unit and continue to pursue his ideals.
Sooner or later he will put on that olive green uniform and become a loyal and qualified soldier. The review of spouse selection is also extremely strict. Yun Huaying's situation is rather special, which is indeed a headache.
"Huaying, have you talked to Zhengzi about this?" Li Suyao had not had time to talk to her son.
"We have."
Yun Huaying nodded slightly and honestly told her plans and considerations. "Aunt, we've talked it over carefully. It's really not appropriate for us to get married right now. I can't drag him down. The Yun family's affairs haven't been resolved yet, and I can't bring trouble to the Han family. I asked him to give me a year or two. I'll go and ask Grandpa Han if there's any special way to change my status."
Li Suyao had no good solution at this time. Her son was born from her belly and she was the one who raised him. She knew his character very well.
He fell in love with the girl in front of him at first sight and knew that she would be the only one for him in this life.
Li Suyao also likes Yun Huaying very much, and she would not do anything to break up the couple. As for the children, she will discuss it with her husband later and try her best to help promote this marriage.
"Huaying, you've discussed this, and I understand what's going on. You're both independent-minded individuals, young and intelligent, with your own ideals and ambitions. I don't want you to give up either your love or your career. The current situation is rather special, so I'll defer to your arrangements for now. Let's wait a year or two and see what happens. We can work together to find a way out of this predicament."
Yun Huaying was touched by the elders' open-mindedness: "Thank you, auntie."
"Oh, child, you have been badly harmed by your father who is so terrible that I can't find words to describe him." Li Suyao felt sorry for her and also hated the scumbag she had never met.
Yun Huaying had to hurry home, so they didn't chat in the room for long and came out after about ten minutes.
When they came out, some neighbors and guests came to the door. Han Zhangping and the others were chatting with everyone. Among them was a young female comrade in a plaid shirt standing next to Han Zheng and the others. She lowered her head slightly and looked very shy. Yun Huaying looked at her with deep eyes.
"Zhengzi, Huaying said she wants to go back. Have you put all your things in the car?"
Seeing them coming out, Han Zheng came over immediately and said, "Put the car on."
Li Suyao glanced at the woman standing between her son and nephew, and introduced him calmly, "This Xiaotian is Captain Wang's sister-in-law. She came to visit some time ago."
"I've already said hello."
Han Zheng didn't know Xiaotian or Captain Wang before, but his cousin had just introduced him as a newly promoted person. He simply greeted Captain Wang's family and didn't say anything else.
Political Commissar Zhao's family had already finished their meal. Mrs. Zhao came over with a smile and said, "Are you going back now? Comrade Xiaoyun rarely comes here, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Yun Huaying smiled politely and replied, "Aunt Zhao, I'm only on short leave. I've already bought a train ticket for tomorrow. I'll come back and bother you next time."
"Will Zhengzi accompany Comrade Xiaoyun tomorrow?" another neighbor asked with a smile.
"Yes, we're leaving tomorrow."
Yun Huaying didn't like being watched, so she said a few words to the Han family, picked up her bag and sat in the passenger seat.
Han Zheng got in the car right after him, started the engine and drove off: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to send Huaying off. I'll be back later to talk to you about something."
"Go ahead, drive slowly on the road and be careful."
Li Suyao warned him and said to Yun Huaying with a smile, "Huaying, if we have a holiday for the New Year this year, you can come to Jinling to celebrate the New Year. Call your uncle and aunt in advance and we will send a car to pick you up."
"Okay." Yun Huaying responded, nodded to her peers, and said goodbye to the elders: "Uncle, aunt, and aunt, I'm leaving first. Take care of yourselves."
