Chapter 36 Give Her Enough Face
Gu Jinghong looked at her with complicated eyes.
"I'll let Du Feng accompany you tomorrow at noon."
Su Ying was about to say no, but Gu Jinghong said forcefully.
"You are not allowed to refuse. If you marry a man like me, I can't accompany you, but let Du Feng send you off."
When Gu Jinghong glared at her, Su Ying was still quite timid and nodded in agreement.
It was not until noon the next day that she truly understood Gu Jinghong's intention.
Du Feng drove a military vehicle to wait for her outside the hospital. When he saw Su Ying coming out, he waved to her.
There were already many people at the hospital entrance after get off work, and everyone looked at Su Ying at this time. Qian Duoduo even hugged Su Ying's arm, his eyes full of pink bubbles with excitement.
"Su Ying, you're not the daughter of a military commander, are you? You actually have such a cool car to pick you up! I've never ridden in a car like this before. I envy you so much."
Su Ying's mouth twitched. What daughter? She seemed to be... the chief's daughter-in-law.
She smiled awkwardly.
"You think too much, I'm leaving now."
Qian Duoduo looked at the tall and handsome officer who actually opened the car door for Su Ying personally, and she was almost envious. With broad shoulders, narrow waist, and height, a man like this was simply the best partner. She was so curious about the relationship between Su Ying and that man.
But why did she feel that the man was very respectful to Su Ying? She must have seen it wrong, or maybe it was just some kind of romantic interest between young lovers?
Su Ying looked at the car and asked.
"Did you borrow this car from Political Commissar Ye?"
"no"
Du Feng said as he drove.
"This is the chief's personal car, but he rarely goes out, and the license plates are all Beijing-issued, so he rarely uses it."
Beijing license plate?
Su Ying didn't notice it just now, but she noticed a pile of things on the back seat, including sugar, flour, canned food, peach cakes, a pack of Golden Monkey cigarettes, and watermelon fruit.
“This thing…”
"It was the chief who asked me to go shopping. Sister-in-law, do you think you need anything else? We'll buy them together later. The chief said he couldn't go home with you because he owed his mother-in-law an apology."
Su Ying picked up the cigarette and took a look at it. It was a cigarette from the 1980s, and it was the first time she had seen it. The packaging was very retro, but it was definitely a very expensive item in that era.
"That's enough. What else do you need? You don't need to give this cigarette to my mom. She doesn't smoke. Du...Brother, you can take it and smoke it."
Du Feng was surprised for a moment, then he glanced at Su Ying and smiled.
"What's this? The chief wants to give it to his mother-in-law. I can't take it. I know your mother doesn't smoke, but you never know when we'll have guests. Keep it."
The car drove along Hanjiang Avenue, turned into a small road, and finally stopped outside the tube-shaped building.
After getting off the car, Su Ying asked with some confusion.
"Brother Du, how do you know I live here?"
Du Feng handed the lightest and most economical peach cake to Su Ying, and took the white flour for himself, as well as some snacks, fruits, etc. in a cloth bag.
"I've already taken a look around and will pick you up at the hospital after I confirm your location."
Su Ying said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Du, but I'd better go in by myself. You go ahead first. Chief Gu needs to be alone. I'll take the tram to work later."
Du Feng looked at her slender body and felt a little worried. There was still half a bag of flour and a watermelon. How could Su Ying carry so many things by herself?
"How about this, I'll take you upstairs and then I'll come down and wait for you in the car."
Su Ying thought about it and didn't refuse anymore. She could only express her gratitude again.
Du Feng is Gu Jinghong's bodyguard, not hers, and has no obligation to serve her. He only sends her and helps her because of Gu Jinghong, so Su Ying is very polite to him.
It was inevitable that she would run into one or two neighbors when going upstairs, but since Su Ying had only lived here for one day, she was not familiar with anyone here, so when she met them, they would just brush past each other.
But the other party just turned his head and looked at her a few more times, and waited until Su Ying stood in front of her own door and knocked before he entered the bathroom.
Su Ying knocked on the door several times but no one opened it, and she couldn't help but frown.
Du Feng was about to go downstairs, but when he saw that Su Ying hadn't come in for such a long time, he stood at the stairs and watched her.
Su Ying raised her hand and knocked on the door again, this time with much greater force.
