It's ridiculous that An Xiao thought she had become well-known in Beijing thanks to the "Free Talk Daily" and that someone would come to her with a script. Little did she know that from the moment she coveted the role, she had already fallen into a trap tailored for her.
The overwhelming amount of scandalous news appeared in the tabloids. Even though the military suppressed a lot of it to reduce the impact, the improper relationship between her and Zhuo Yun was quietly spread throughout the circle.
Of course, this was not what made An Xiao panic.
What she feared most was Zhuo Yunqi producing evidence that was enough to beat her to death.
Without Zhuo Yunqi's help, she had no backing in the capital, and she was desperate to use her connections to buy a boat ticket, but Mrs. Tang had instructed them not to sell it to her at all.
An Xiao was in a dilemma and took a risk to catch Zhuo Yunqi.
But Zhuo Yunqi was devastated this time. He locked himself in his room, drinking to drown his sorrows, and refused to come out.
Not only did An Xiao fail to wait for him, but he also exposed his whereabouts and was taken into custody, awaiting trial by a military court.
Without Mrs. Tang as a backer and Hong Kong Island as a retreat, An Xiao was like a bird with its feathers clipped off, being pushed step by step into the abyss by his own ignorance and greed.
The affairs of the Zhuo family were considered the biggest gossip in the General Military Region compound before the New Year. No one dared to talk about it in front of others, but they talked about it heatedly behind their backs.
The Zhuo family's house, which was originally bustling with children, suddenly became quiet.
Political Commissar Zhuo fell ill, and Qin Dongling brought his daughter and son-in-law to see him. Lying on the hospital bed, he said to his good brother, "It's better to have a daughter."
The son was the one at fault, and he was too embarrassed to even say anything to win back his daughter-in-law. He hadn't seen his grandchildren for so long, and he missed them a lot.
Seeing Qin Dongling's family here at this time, I felt sad and moved.
"First, take care of your own health, and don't worry about whether you have children or not." Qin Dongling sat on the bed. "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You worry about the younger generation's affairs, and you will only make yourself angry."
"I've lost all my face. How big of a heart do I have to be to not hear what's happening outside?"
Political Commissar Zhuo said, "Qinghuai is not a reliable person either. He finally found a girlfriend, but he's unwilling to bring her back. Even the voices in this huge old house are gone."
When people get older, they yearn for the happiness of family. He used to complain about having too many children in the family, but he didn't expect that in such a short time, all his children would be gone.
"Qinghuai has a girlfriend?" The three of them widened their eyes at the same time.
Qin Dongling and Jiang Yuman were surprised, but Fu Jingchen was a little happier.
"Yes, it's from our courtyard." Speaking of this, Political Commissar Zhuo's face turned a few shades redder.
The only thing he was not satisfied with was his youngest son's marriage. He didn't expect that the boy would finally find a partner.
"Who is it in our courtyard?"
"Tian Minjing, the girl is pretty and also in the army, she's not bad."
He wanted to praise her beauty, but when he looked at his eldest niece, he changed his words.
Jiang Yuman also had an impression of the Tian family. She heard that Grandpa Tian had made great military achievements in the past, but he and his wife were relatively traditional. They did not care about their granddaughters and only loved their youngest grandson.
This is not a problem. After all, Political Commissar Zhuo likes girls. If she can give birth to more granddaughters after marrying into the family, he will be even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
As for Yurong, since his son is a bastard and has no face to redeem himself, he will definitely support him strongly.
Qin Dongling knew more, "Is Tian Minjing the eldest daughter of their family?"
"Yes," Political Commissar Zhuo said, "you are a girl who knows everything. You have no bad habits and are very good."
After the Ni Wei incident was exposed, Political Commissar Zhuo realized her image in front of outsiders, so he was very satisfied to have a daughter-in-law who was down-to-earth and had status.
The three of them were also sincerely happy for him, "Then we can wait to drink Qinghuai's wedding wine."
