Chapter 106: Hidden
"She married a military officer. Her husband should protect her well."
Although Huo Yan had never met Shengsheng's husband, but when Shengsheng came over twice, he saw her plump and beautiful face, and it was obvious that she was a well-nourished person.
I asked her twice and she said both times that her husband treated her very well.
Huo Yan looked at the expression in her eyes and eyebrows, and it seemed that she was no different from before. She was still the same as before.
There is no extra fatigue from being worn out by life, nor the hard work after having children.
I guess her husband is probably as good as she says he is.
When Fu Yuan heard the word "military officer", he hesitated for a moment. There was only one military district in Ningcheng, and he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
But in this era, marrying a military officer would make life easier.
There is no need to worry about housing allocation, and there are enough food coupons and wages.
Fu Yuan said politely, "It sounds good."
Seeing that he had no change of expression, Huo Yan guessed that someone like Fu Yuan would not be happy with the marriage arranged by his family, and would not care at all when he heard that his fiancée was already married.
He said, "Yes, it's not easy for her. I don't want to hurt her anymore. I don't want her to have anything to do with me. I hope you won't investigate her. She has no relationship with the capitalists and doesn't even know who her biological parents are."
Huo Yan was not completely reassured about Fu Yuan, although he believed in the character of the Fu family and was not sure that they would set a trap for someone who had been undergoing reform on the farm for several years.
But in an era when everyone is in danger, he dare not give his full trust. It doesn't matter if he hurts himself, but he cannot hurt the voice that is already pitiful enough.
Fu Yuan could see Huo Yan's caution. He was very good at dealing with people, and no one had ever suspected him of his intentions so blatantly.
Fu Yuan was not happy. He curled his lips and said coldly, "I didn't check her, Comrade Huo. You have no choice but to believe me now."
"And do you think it's necessary for me to come to Ningcheng on purpose to frame you?"
For a man who has been in a high position for many years, even if he shows the slightest bit of unhappiness, his aura is heavy enough, like an invisible mountain pressing down on you, making it hard to breathe.
Huo Yan, however, is not that weak and is not someone who would be frightened by just a few words.
He calmly met the man's sharp gaze, stared at him for a few seconds, then looked away. He sighed and said, "Comrade Fu, I am a cautious person. There is really no value in me that you need to use."
Fu Yuan's expression eased a little: "Comrade Huo, I sympathize with your situation. This time I took the risk to come to see you, not only because of the relationship between the elders, but I also admire your character very much."
"The country is in need of talent to build a new society, and no one can predict what the future situation will be like."
"Also, Comrade Huo, I have no other intentions towards your niece, and I don't want to have anything to do with you guys."
"I believe in free love and marriage. The promises made by my parents are unfair to me and her. I will not take it seriously. You can rest assured."
"But your family is also worried about her situation in the country. Since you said she is doing well now, there is really no need for me to disturb her."
"My brother is also in the Ningcheng Military Region. No one has a smooth life. You never know when you will need help from others. You don't have to rush to reject my kindness. It's not too late to answer after careful consideration."
Huo Yan could tell that Fu Yuan really meant well.
He felt that the Fu family was so frank this time because they must have received the news in advance, and the wind direction would change in the future, so they would take this step.
The Fu family already owed the Huo family.
It's normal for them to feel guilty and want to make amends.
After Huo Yan figured it out, he was no longer as nervous as before: "Comrade Fu, you are right."
After a pause, Huo Yan said, "If I can help her in the future, I'll let her come to you."
Fu Yuan is not a helpful person, but since these two people are quite special, he naturally has to pay attention to them.
And you have to do what your elders tell you to do.
The Huo family asked someone to help pass on the message and privately promised a large amount of benefits, including foreign exchange, which the country lacked the most.
Foreign exchange is very important and the gap is large.
The Fu family was at a critical juncture in need of increasing their chips at the card table. With a diplomat and a high-ranking official in the military district in the family, it was still a bit difficult to get them to leave the card table.
At this moment, Fu Yuan had no intention of inquiring about his fiancée's information.
It doesn't matter when she got married or who she married.
"I will only be in Ningcheng for a few days. If you have any questions, you can write to me in the capital, or go to the Ningcheng Military District to find my brother."
Huo Yan was slightly surprised. It was the first time he heard that he had a younger brother.
"Your brother?"
"Well, he is now the commander of the main division of the Ningcheng Military Region. He can easily handle some small matters for you."
When Huo Yan heard him say this, he couldn't help but think more.
Shengsheng's husband's last name is also Fu. Is it really such a coincidence? Is the world so small?
Huo Yan frowned in thought, not knowing for a moment whether he should open his mouth to ask in detail.
Maybe it's just a coincidence?
But there was another voice in his heart urging him to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.
Huo Yan took a deep breath, his jaw slightly tensed, his fingers tightly grasped the handle of the chair, his nails turned white, and his voice sounded a little tense: "What's your brother's name?"
Fu Yuan looked at him deeply, "Fu Cheng."
He then asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Yan felt as if there was a breath stuck in his chest that he couldn't let go.
He felt like a bowstring that had just been vibrated. He was dazed and almost dizzy.
It's really such a coincidence.
At this moment, Huo Yan could not use the fact that he had the same name as her to comfort himself.
Of course he still remembered that Shengsheng's husband was called Fu Cheng, also a military officer, and an officer from Ningcheng.
Own a house, food, connections, money and power.
The fabric and material of the clothes Shengsheng was wearing were different from those bought in state-owned supermarkets.
Can an ordinary military officer have so much money?
Even if we take a step back and say that he only has that much money, would he be willing to spend it like this?
Huo Yan felt as if his throat was burned by fire, and he was unable to make any sound for a while. He looked up at Fu Yuan.
In the backlight, the young man also looked like a superior looking down on others.
Huo Yan hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to tell Fu Yuan about this.
Fu Yuan just said that he didn't want to have anything to do with them, but after a lot of twists and turns, she turned out to be his niece and Fu Yuan's fiancée.
She actually became his younger brother's wife.
Huo Yan decided to keep it a secret for now: "Nothing, it just sounds familiar."
Huo Yan's expression was obviously wrong, and Fu Yuan was not blind. He remained calm and did not continue to question him.
Logically, Huo Yan and Fu Cheng should not meet each other.
Huo Yan has been reforming here for these years and hasn't seen any extra people.
Since Huo Yan didn't want to say more, Fu Yuan decided to ask his younger brother.
