"Hello, Chief!"
Wang Youyou greeted him politely and took the apple from Liu Qinmin's hand. "Sir, please feel free to sit down."
"Okay." Liu Qinmin smiled and looked at Wang Youyou, then said to Lu Xingfei, "Xingfei! How are you feeling?"
Lu Xingfei smiled and said, "Almost done. Thank you for your concern, Commander. Please take a seat."
Liu Qinmin smiled and nodded, then sat on the bed opposite.
He said, "We've thoroughly investigated this counterfeit beer incident. The beer you drank was from the store owner at the entrance to Zhengkang Market. He bought empty Jiangzhou beer bottles, filled them with beer he made back home, and sold them secretly. He'd only sold a few cases when this happened."
Wang Youyou put the apple down and poured Liu Qinmin a glass of warm water. "Chief, please drink some water."
Liu Qinmin took the cup of water and looked at Wang Youyou with admiration.
Wang Youyou met his gaze and smiled uncomfortably.
Liu Qinmin shifted his gaze to Lu Xingfei and sighed, "Xingfei! Youyou is really good. I have to thank Youyou for Wanru's matter this time."
Lu Xingfei glanced at Wang Youyou, feeling very embarrassed being caught in the middle. He could only ask with regret, "Chief, how is Wanru now?"
Wang Youyou glared at him, picked up the kettle, and prepared to find an excuse to go out.
Seeing this, Liu Qinmin quickly spoke up: "Youyou, I sincerely thank you. If you hadn't insisted on not forgiving her, Wanru would never have grown up. Wanru is in the police station now and has realized her mistakes. She also said that when she gets out, she will come to thank you!"
Wang Youyou didn't know what he meant. With a sullen face, he said bluntly, "Captain, forget about thanking me. Just don't retaliate against me."
"Hehehe!" Liu Qinmin couldn't help laughing, "I like Youyou's personality."
Lu Xingfei quickly explained: "Commander, please don't mind it. Wang Youyou loves to joke. She was just joking."
Wang Youyou rolled her eyes inwardly and said to him, "Lu Xingfei, I'm not kidding. I'm telling the truth. It would be fine if Liu Wanru truly repented, but if she still relies on being the chief's daughter to bully others, the first thing she'll do when she gets out will definitely be to cause trouble for me."
Lu Xingfei was so frightened that his face turned ugly and he wanted to cover her mouth.
Liu Qinmin nodded sincerely and said, "Youyou is right, but please rest assured, Wanru has truly realized her mistake this time."
Wang Youyou frowned and asked, "What did she say?"
Liu Qinmin said: "I sent her to the detention center yesterday. She will be detained for ten days. She was very angry at first."
"When I went to see her early this morning, she said that after a night of reflection, she had realized her mistakes."
"She said that she used to rely on being my daughter and looked down on others. When others knew she was my daughter, no one dared to offend her."
"It wasn't until this time when Youyou punished her harshly and without mercy that she realized that there are people in this society who don't fear her and can still punish her."
"She said that as a descendant of a soldier, she should set a good example, not a bad one."
"Hearing her say that, I really feel that Wanru has grown up!"
Hearing this, Lu Xingfei interrupted, "Commander, Wanru isn't a bad person by nature, she's just a bit rebellious."
Liu Qinmin sighed softly, "Alas, she is so rebellious because she never suffered hardship since she was a child."
Wang Youyou picked up the kettle again and said calmly, "Commander, you guys chat, I'll go get some water."
Liu Qinmin stood up and said anxiously, "I'm ready to go too. Zhiyuan is still waiting for me downstairs."
Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Wang Youyou immediately put down the kettle and said, "Commander, I have thought clearly about the divorce between Lu Xingfei and me. After Lu Xingfei is discharged from the hospital, we will write a divorce report. I hope you will approve it."
Lu Xingfei was so frightened that he didn't care about the syringe in his hand. He stood up and said in a panic: "Commander, I don't agree. I want to persuade Wang Youyou again."
Liu Qinmin looked at him, then at Wang Youyou, and suddenly said seriously, "Youyou, give Xingfei another month. If there are any misunderstandings, explain them clearly. Don't be impulsive. If you still insist on leaving after a month, I will definitely agree."
Wang Youyou pulled a sullen face and said, "Commander, we just have personality differences and can't get along anymore. There's no misunderstanding. Please approve it!"
Liu Qinmin frowned and could only gently persuade her, "Youyou, divorce will ruin your reputation! So, I promise you, if Xingfei still can't solve your problem in a month, I will personally help you find a good family, or become a military wife, and I promise not to let you suffer any grievances."
"Ah?" Wang Youyou's mouth twitched in embarrassment. "Captain, forget it! No need to be so polite."
Liu Qinmin said in an unquestionable tone: "It's settled! Give Xingfei a month."
After saying that, he warned Lu Xingfei: "Xingfei, Youyou is a good comrade. Think more from Youyou's perspective. If you can't persuade her, I will match her with someone else!"
Lu Xingfei didn't have time to think about it and quickly agreed loudly: "Yes! Chief!"
"Take a rest!" Liu Qinmin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to see him off.
Wang Youyou was furious, but he could only helplessly follow behind and see the guest off: "Captain, take care."
…
As soon as Liu Qinmin left, Lu Xingfei said with a serious look, "Wang Youyou, as long as you don't want a divorce, you can set any conditions you want."
He knew very well that he could no longer be so easy-going and that he had to find a new way to get along with Wang Youyou.
Wang Youyou saw that he suddenly became serious, and remembered that he looked at her with the same eyes on the first day after he came here.
She picked up the kettle for the third time and said expressionlessly, "I don't want anything but a divorce."
Lu Xingfei grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "You haven't paid me back yet, so why are you leaving me?"
Wang Youyou looked at him, narrowed her eyes, and said angrily, "Lu Xingfei, I eat your food and use your money, but it doesn't add up to much money, right? I can pay you back immediately."
Lu Xingfei closed his eyes and looked at her deeply. "You owe me my feelings. How can you repay me? It was you who begged me to let you stay. Don't forget it!"
"Hmph!" Wang Youyou snorted coldly, "Yes, I am begging you. I am just that bad. I like to destroy bridges after crossing them, okay? It's not the first day you've known me! Let go!"
"Wang Youyou, you have such a cruel heart!" Lu Xingfei was so angry that his chest hurt. He couldn't bear to hurt her, so he chose to let go and returned to the hospital bed.
Wang Youyou took the kettle to boil water, then walked to the newsstand at the hospital entrance and bought a copy of Jiangzhou Daily before returning to the ward.
When they returned to the ward, Lu Xingfei was holding her notebook and writing on it. When he saw her come back, he just looked up and continued writing.
Wang Youyou walked over silently and put the kettle away.
I finally had a fight with Lu Xingfei and I feel much better.
After sitting down, she picked up the newspaper and read it.
The newspaper wrote: "The queen of music, Song Zhizhi, will hold a concert in Jiangzhou on the 6th of next month. This will also be the first concert in Jiangzhou to be performed by a singer!"
