Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Lu immediately frowned.
"Mengya, you're still not giving up? It's impossible for you and Zhengting to be together. It's one thing that he doesn't like you, but he's married now. Even if you go, you can't break them up. Didn't you suffer enough at the Mopan Village brigade that time?!"
Shen Mengya shook her arm and began to whine, "Grandma, you've misunderstood me. I told you I've already let go of Zhengting, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to you and gone on blind dates. But I really don't like those men, they're not suitable for me, so I thought I'd go to the military region to look for someone, maybe I'll meet someone suitable there."
After thinking about it, Grandma Lu thought that Shen Mengya liked Lu Zhengting, perhaps because she liked the military temperament he had.
There are many young men in the military, and many outstanding ones. Why not accompany Shen Mengya there and see if she can find her Mr. Right?
“Okay, since you want to go there for a blind date, Grandma will go with you. But we have to talk to Zhengting and your uncle first.”
"Grandma, don't tell Uncle. If he finds out, I'm afraid he'll misunderstand me and think I'm deliberately trying to break up Zhengting and Qingyan. He'll definitely stop us from going. Don't tell Zhengting in advance either; he's also prone to misunderstandings. Let's just go directly."
When Grandma Lu heard what she said, she didn't refute it.
"Alright, alright, Grandma will do as you say. I won't say anything then. But I need to call Xiao Ding and ask him to pick us up. Otherwise, if we get to the military area, they won't let us in."
"Okay, Grandma."
Grandma Lu doted on Shen Mengya and indulged her every whim.
He immediately called Commander Ding, lying that Lu Zhengting didn't have time to pick him up and asked him to pick him up at the station.
After the two had packed their luggage, Grandma Lu had some concerns again:
“I stopped them from getting married last time, so his wife must hate me. Zheng Ting also has a problem with me. We had such a bad time last time. Even if Zheng Ting doesn’t say anything, do you think his wife will be willing to go again this time?”
"Grandma, what else do you want? I've already given up on Zheng Ting, and she hit me too. Do you expect me to apologize to her?"
After thinking for a moment, Grandma Lu discussed with Shen Mengya, "Why don't we go to the department store and buy some things for them? We've already bought them gifts, which shows our sincerity, and it should help resolve some of the conflicts between us. Otherwise, if you want to find a partner there, Zheng Ting and his wife will have to arrange it for you, so buying them some things is also necessary."
“Okay, Grandma, you’re very thoughtful. We’ve come all this way, so we should visit them while we’re at it. We should buy them some things.”
"That's the right way to think."
After discussing it, the two went to the department store and bought several packs of pastries, two Quanjude roast ducks, and some small snacks such as biscuits and hawthorn cakes.
The next morning, they boarded a train bound for the military region.
They arrived at the train station where the military region was located. After getting off the train and exiting the station, Commander Ding indeed came to pick them up.
"Auntie." Commander Ding greeted Grandma Lu warmly, then looked at Shen Mengya. Upon closer inspection, he realized that she was indeed not as pretty as Lin Qingyan, and by a significant margin.
At the military region's commendation ceremony that day, Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting stood together on the stage. Apart from Lu Zhengting, Lin Qingyan was the most dazzling star on the stage.
She was not only outstanding in appearance, but also sang very well. At that time, he felt that Lu Zhengting was not only capable, but also had excellent taste in choosing a wife.
Afterwards, he heard that Lu Zhengting had brought his wife over for many days and must have invited others to dinner. As for why he, his superior, was not invited, he guessed it must be because of the time he had withheld his marriage certificate.
This troublemaker is different from others. Others, for the sake of their status and future, would still treat him with respect even if they encountered such a thing. But Lu Zhengting is different. He always speaks with his strength and never flatters anyone. If someone offends him, he will not tolerate it.
I must have upset him a lot last time. Oh well, he and his grandmother can only consider one side, which inevitably offends the other.
If this happened again, he would probably still help Grandma Lu.
He smiled at Shen Mengya and said, "Mengya has grown into a beautiful young woman. She's getting prettier and prettier. Uncle Ding almost doesn't recognize her anymore."
Shen Mengya smiled gently: "Uncle Ding, you flatter me. I haven't changed much. It's just that I haven't seen you for several years, Uncle Ding, but you haven't changed at all."
"Hahaha, things have changed, how can they stay the same? Uncle has gotten old."
"No."
Commander Ding took the luggage from her hands. "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, let's get on the bus first."
Commander Ding drove them all the way to the military region, and when they were almost at the compound, he asked Old Mrs. Lu:
"Auntie, would you like to come to my house first, or go directly to Zheng Ting's place?"
"Let's go straight to Zheng Ting's place, Xiao Ding. You're usually busy, so we won't bother you any longer."
"Not at all, not at all. I would be more than happy if Auntie and Mengya could come to my place. I'll have my wife cook a delicious meal to welcome you."
"I'd better not go and trouble you. My grandson is here. I'll go to their house instead," Grandma Lu insisted.
"Alright then, Auntie. You and Mengya can come to my house anytime you want. I'll tell you the exact location of our house in a bit."
"good."
