Mao Lin's face changed, and he said sternly: "What is there to talk about? Isn't what Yun Ce said clear enough? This is just the idea of the older generation, and it has nothing to do with him! If you keep pestering Yun Ce, I will make your affairs known to the whole regiment!"
She stood in front of Zhou Yunce, her face full of vigilance and alertness, just like the hen among the chicks being caught by an eagle.
Shi also glanced at her, curled his lips, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Comrade Mao Lin, do you know why Director Li looks down on you? Because you are really funny like this."
"You!" Mao Lin's face changed and she looked very embarrassed.
Zhou Yunce frowned, and his eyes looked a little sharper when he looked at Shiye.
Although he didn't like Mao Lin, he also didn't like Shi Ye's domineering and sharp personality.
In fact, it was not the first day that he had heard of Shiye. Recently, everyone in the infirmary had been talking about this person, and it was difficult for him to pretend that he didn't know. Coupled with his mother's constant admonition, he had complicated emotions when facing Shiye.
Zhou Yunce said calmly, "I am not interested in this marriage, and I will not fulfill it. There is nothing to talk about."
"Really? In order to shut Director Li up, I found someone like this... So you really want to sever ties with your family? Without me, you still have Qin Zhenzhen and Zhou Yunce. I came out to find you because I have a deal to make with you."
Shi was not at all weak, and he didn't even look at Mao Lin's smug expression, he just stared at Zhou Yunce.
From what just happened, she also discovered that Zhou Yunce and Li Xiu Lian did not have a good relationship, and it could even be described as being tense.
When they first met, she said that this man had a temper and a strong personality. Now it seems that this has been further confirmed. As for why he was confronting Li Xiu Lian, it was not her concern.
What she has to do now is to take this opportunity to negotiate a cooperation and bring the person back.
If she thought just now that Zhou Yunce truly loved Mao Lin, it can now be confirmed that he brought Mao Lin back purely to go against Li Xiu Lian, otherwise it would not have come to this.
Zhou Yunce met Shiye's deer-like eyes, sneered, and turned away.
"I won't stop you if you want to leave, but I'm going to tell Director Li about your cooperation with Comrade Mao Lin. I think she would be happy to find Comrade Mao Lin's home and make a bigger fuss. Comrade Zhou has the heart to hurt innocent people, so I have nothing to say."
Shi also chuckled, not caring at all, and turned away. The sound came into Zhou Yunce's ears through her back.
Mao Lin's expression changed again and again, and when she thought of Li Xiu Lian, there was some fear in her eyes.
She looked at Zhou Yunce and moved her lips, trying to persuade him to go back. If he left, what if Li Xiulian really didn't care about him? Wouldn't everything in the house belong to Zhou Yunxiao, the yellow-haired girl? What else could she get?
Secondly, she was really afraid that Li Xiu Lian would find her family and the matter would become a big deal. Her family would not want to marry her, and in the end she would be the one who would suffer the damage to her reputation. Zhou Yunce was a good person, but only if she could protect herself.
Zhou Yunce's pupils suddenly froze, and he turned back to look at Makiya's still-moving back, and took a deep breath: "Wait!"
He knew his mother too well, and he was not exaggerating.
Zhou Yunce frowned and said to Mao Lin, "Comrade Mao Lin, you go back first today."
Mao Lin pursed her lips, somewhat unhappy. She wanted to hear what Zhou Yunce and Shi Ye had to say, but seeing his gloomy face, she did not dare to say much. She left the family compound with her bags, looking back every few steps as if she was forced to do so. However, combined with the gifts in her hands, it looked inexplicably funny. This was the scene Shi Ye saw when he turned around and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's rare that you can find such a weirdo." Di also walked towards Zhou Yunce, with a hint of gloating in his smile.
She was sure that in the future Zhou Yunce would have to work hard to get rid of Mao Lin, this sticky person.
Zhou Yunce didn't think he and Shi were in a relationship that could discuss this matter, so he said coldly, "You mean the deal?"
"Help me." Shi also said without hesitation: "Since you work in the infirmary, you should have heard that I have been in trouble recently. To be honest, Xiao Yue doesn't like me and is doing this to ruin my reputation. Although you were good friends, I heard that the relationship has been broken. Help me so that it won't be affected. Similarly, I can help you."
When it comes to business, Shi doesn't say a word of nonsense. He looks calm and reasonable.
Zhou Yunce paused, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Shiye.
He had indeed heard about the story between Shi Ye and Xiao Yue. In daily work, this little gossip was always the topic of conversation after dinner, even more so than the news that Shi Ye had been awarded a military rank. When he first heard about it, he had complicated feelings.
It's not that he is jealous. He doesn't have a deep memory of his fiancée Shi Ye, let alone any feelings for her.
What he didn't expect was that one day Xiao Yue would actually have such news with a female comrade. What's even more outrageous is that he didn't think of clarifying it, but instead announced it in the educated youth dormitory. He just liked Shi Ye. Is this like Xiao Yue?
Zhou Yunce's eyebrows were full of sarcasm: "You help me? Why do you think I need your help?"
Shi also looked at the face with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and sighed softly. He was good-looking, but had a bad temper. Unlike Xiao Yue, who deliberately concealed his temper and was gentle on the surface but sinister behind his back, Zhou Yunce's emotions were really just on the surface.
Such a person is not a simple-minded person and is suitable for making close friends.
"Although I don't know why you and Director Li have a bad relationship, but I guess it has something to do with your emotional problems. She wants you to marry Qin Zhenzhen?" Shi Ye pondered for a moment and gave a conclusion.
Zhou Yunce glanced at her, frowned and said nothing.
"Now there should be one more me. I guess Director Li is not interested in my abilities and this so-called marriage contract, but because of the Xiao family, right?" Shi also thought about it and gave a bombshell answer.
It was really that Zhou Yunce was stubborn and would not take the bait easily unless he showed some cards.
This is actually not difficult to guess. When she first came to the Northwest, Li Xiulian's attitude towards her was distant. She didn't even want her to mention Zhou Yunce. It was clear that she didn't want to acknowledge this marriage, but she let Qin Zhenzhen be her assistant. The reason is obvious.
But just now in the room, Li Xiu Lian changed her words and admitted that she was Zhou Yunce's fiancée?
There can only be two reasons.
Firstly, she had recently shown her talent, was capable and had a military rank, and had a bright future at a young age. It was not a disadvantage for his son to have such a fiancée, and since he was already engaged, she was the perfect match.
Secondly, she was taken in by the Xiao family, and when she came to the northwest, she became entangled with Xiao Yue.
A bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that can get close to the Xiao family, or even become "relatives" with the Xiao family.
If she hadn't seen something in Xiao Yue's dream, she wouldn't have thought about it in this direction.
However, things are different now. She feels that the possibility of the second point is even greater than the first point. Otherwise, an orphan like her can never compare to Qin Zhenzhen, who has a strong background.
Hearing this, Zhou Yunce was stunned for two seconds.
He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Makiya, staring at her without saying a word. After a moment, he uttered, "Why are you..."
