"Grandma, give me two more days, it's only two days." Shen Mengya pouted and shook Grandma Lu's arm, acting coquettishly.
What Grandma Lu couldn't stand most was her aggrieved look.
“Fine, it’s not that I don’t want you here, the key is that Zheng Ting and his wife don’t want you here. Since you can’t find it, then leave. I’ll give you two more days. If there’s no result after two days, come back to Beijing with me immediately. His wife hasn’t kicked you out yet. Don’t wait until she kicks you out before you leave, or things will get ugly.”
"Okay, Grandma."
Shen Mengya verbally agreed, but she was anxious inside.
With only two days, can she successfully complete her plan?
Ever since Shen Mengfei left the chessboard with Lu Zhengting last time, he would come here every few days to play chess with Lu Zhengting. On those two occasions when he came, Shen Mengya and Old Madam Lu were not there, so he did not see them.
Neither Lu Zhengting nor Lin Qingyan mentioned the two people to him, and he was unaware that Lu Zhengting had guests at his home.
Today, Shen Mengya did not go on a blind date with Grandma Lu. As soon as Shen Mengfei arrived, he saw the two sitting in the living room. However, his gaze only lingered on Grandma Lu for a second, but on Shen Mengya for several seconds.
He asked Lu Zhengting in surprise, "Brother Ting, you have guests at home. I don't know how to address this grandmother and this lady."
Lu Zhengting laughed. "You were right about who she was. This is my grandmother, and that is my sister. But her surname isn't Lu; it's Chen."
"So, this Comrade Shen shares the same surname as me." Shen Mengfei laughed, then glanced at Shen Mengya a couple more times.
Lu Zhengting suddenly remembered that the two of them not only shared the same surname, but also had a character in their names that they shared.
Shen Mengfei greeted Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya in a very familiar manner.
"Hello, Grandma, Comrade Shen, hello."
Shen Mengya nodded gently to him, "Hello to you too."
Grandma Lu thought that Shen Mengfei's features were no less handsome than Sun Lei's, and perhaps even a little better, because his face was fairer than Sun Lei's. Who was this young man? Did he have a girlfriend?
"Young man, who are you?"
"I am a company commander under Brother Ting."
The old lady said "oh," and realized that none of Lu Zhengting's officers were single. This young man either had a girlfriend or a wife, so he couldn't date Mengya.
Shen Mengya didn't pay much attention to Shen Mengfei, but Shen Mengfei glanced at Shen Mengya a few more times.
Lu Zhengting called out to Shen Mengfei, "Mengfei, didn't you want to play chess? Come and play chess quickly."
Shen Mengya suddenly heard the name Shen Mengfei. This person not only shared the same surname as her, but also had a character in his name that was the same as hers.
However, if she doesn't like it, she just doesn't like it. Having the same surname and the same characters in the given name is just a coincidence and doesn't mean anything.
"Yes, Battalion Commander."
Shen Mengfei reluctantly withdrew her gaze from Shen Mengya and returned to Lu Zhengting's side.
Lu Zhengting took out the chessboard and pieces from the cabinet and began playing a game with Shen Mengfei.
In the first two games, Shen Mengfei would frequently glance at Shen Mengya, his mind not on the game at all, and he lost both games in a very embarrassing manner.
Lu Zhengting also noticed his abnormality. "Mengfei, your concentration is off today. You lost too easily. It's not fun for me to win at all."
Shen Mengfei scratched his head and smiled guiltily, "I was thinking about something else and missed the game. Battalion Commander, let's play again."
"Okay, you better pay attention this time, and don't be so distracted. Otherwise, I won't play with you anymore, and I'll play with my wife."
"No, no, I'll definitely play well. You can play with your sister-in-law after I leave."
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Mengya.
Lin Qingyan, who was watching him play chess with Lu Zhengting, had already noticed that his attention was always on Shen Mengya, and that he was interested in Shen Mengya.
She was conflicted. She wanted to marry Shen Mengya off as soon as possible. Since Shen Mengfei was interested in Shen Mengya, she wanted to play matchmaker for them. But she was also afraid that Shen Mengya wouldn't live a good life with Shen Mengfei in the future and would end up hurting Shen Mengfei instead.
Anyway, Shen Mengya is leaving in a couple of days, so I'd better not let her ruin Shen Mengfei's life.
“Brother Mengfei, if you have something on your mind today, or if you’re not in a good mood, go home and rest early. Don’t miss tomorrow’s training, or you’ll be punished.”
"No, no, no, no, no." He quickly waved his hand, saying "no" several times in a row. "Sister-in-law, why do you think I look so listless? I'm perfectly fine, and I have nothing on my mind. Do you want to play chess with the battalion commander? Don't rush, I only come here every three to five days. Just wait until I finish playing with the battalion commander, and then you can play with him after I leave."
