If it went to the point of killing an entire family, then Liu Shengrui's mistake was no small matter...
Even Mo Cheng and Liu Dekai couldn't bail him out.
But... never mind!
Everyone has their own destiny.
Su Yueya had warned them before, but they chose not to believe her. So, this ending and fate were of their own making, and it was the price they had to pay.
Qiao Xinruo: Why didn't I see any specific chapters? I only saw spoilers in the comments section.
I want to know what's going on, but I can't even figure it out.
Sigh!
Soon, the food I ordered was served.
Faced with a table full of steaming hot food, Leng Yingying was so tempted that her mouth was watering.
[Delicious food, here I come!]
She picked up her chopsticks, ready to eat, as if she were still in the cafeteria. But as soon as she started eating, she realized she was in a restaurant, and eating with Su Yueya's family.
"Come on, everyone, stop standing there! Eat up, eat up, eat while it's hot!" Leng Yingying said, warmly inviting them to join in.
"Okay!" Everyone started eating.
Qiao Gaoyang thought that he had to seize this opportunity and make a good impression so that Leng Yingying would notice him.
When ordering food, they also ordered some drinks, since it wasn't really convenient to drink alcohol.
We brought several bottles of various drinks, including Arctic Ocean soda, Xurisheng iced tea, and even a Coca-Cola that we heard was imported. We can exchange them and try them all.
Qiao Gaoyang didn't bother to respond when he couldn't keep up with the conversation. Instead, he took advantage of being sitting next to Leng Yingying and acted as a tea server.
Throughout the entire meal, Leng Yingying's glass was never empty. Whenever she picked up her glass, it was always full of beverage, as if she could never finish it.
However, Leng Yingying was a very straightforward woman; she didn't notice the small details about the drink at all, and even if she had, she wouldn't have known what was going on.
[I remember drinking Arctic Ocean soda just now, how come the glass is filled with cola again?]
[Forget it, everyone at this table is trustworthy, let's just drink!]
Qiao Gaoyang: ...
What a waste of my love!
He worked diligently as a tea server for half a day, but Leng Yingying didn't realize the value of his service at all, and in the end, he was only considered "trustworthy"!
Qiao Xinruo: ...
Poor second brother! He spent so much time trying to please her, but she didn't even notice him. It's heartbreaking to hear and see!
She couldn't help but feel sorry for her second brother; who could pursue someone like that?
Suddenly, Leng Yingying picked up her cup and stood up.
It startled everyone else.
"What are you going to do now?" Su Yueya asked, quickly putting down her chopsticks and spitting out a bone from her mouth.
"It's rare for us to get together for a meal, so we have to say a few words!" Leng Yingying said with great enthusiasm.
She had already thanked me many times since she found out about this meal last night, and now, as I raise my drink, I must formally thank her once more.
"I, Leng Yingying, don't have many friends in the capital. It's my honor to get to know you all!"
"Today, everyone has given me face by coming in person to celebrate my promotion. I am very happy and grateful to everyone. I will toast you all with a soft drink instead of wine. I also hope that everyone will do better and better, and that our relationship and friendship will grow stronger. I'll drink this first!"
After saying that, Leng Yingying tilted her head back with a bold gesture and downed the drink in her glass.
Because she was drinking some kind of foreign cola, which was very bubbly, she downed a whole glass in one go, and even burped.
"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing!" Leng Yingying wiped her mouth and sat down.
Su Yueya and the others had no choice but to cooperate with Leng Yingying and finish all the drinks in their cups.
"Come on, keep eating! There's still so much food left!"
"Drink less of your beverages and eat more," Su Yueya said.
“Okay!” Leng Yingying nodded with a smile.
[Waaaaah... I really succeeded in winning over the heroine! She cares about me so much... Waaaaah...]
The four siblings: Here we go again...
Qiao Xinruo: My sister cares about me a lot too.
Qiao Gaoyang: Why is it that Yueya can move her so much with just one sentence? I spent half a day pouring drinks and all I got was one sentence: "I can trust you." Am I the legendary clown?
Qiao Shouyan: It seems that the second son's pursuit of someone is not easy... Then he can rest assured.
Although they ordered quite a lot of food, the five of them were indeed quite capable of eating.
We ate it all; there was nothing left, and nothing was wasted.
When it came time to pay, Qiao Gaoyang tried to snatch the bill, but Leng Yingying saw through his plan and stopped him on the spot.
【Hey! How dare you steal my order?!】
Leng Yingying moved with lightning speed, sliding towards the checkout counter and snatching the bill directly from the cashier's hand.
"I'll pay the bill." Leng Yingying started taking out her money.
Qiao Gaoyang: ...
Never mind.
Originally, there were plans to do some activities after the meal, but given the situation at today's dinner, it didn't seem appropriate—because it seemed that Leng Yingying hadn't realized Qiao Gaoyang's feelings yet, and everyone was afraid of overdoing it, so they decided to take it slow.
Especially for Qiao Gaoyang, this was the first time in his life that he felt somewhat defeated.
He didn't seem to have attracted Leng Yingying's attention.
Are we just going to let such a great opportunity go to waste?
Qiao Gaoyang was unwilling to give up. He had to argue again and try harder to at least get another chance to meet Leng Yingying.
Ideally, it would be a date alone.
The group headed back; Su Yueya and the others were going to their family compound, while Leng Yingying could only return to her unit.
When they reached the fork in the road, Leng Yingying said goodbye to them.
"I'll take you," Qiao Gaoyang said.
The other three remained silent and observed the situation. Qiao Xinruo then offered a timely suggestion: "That's right, Shadow, it's not safe for you to go back to the army alone. Let your second brother take you."
Leng Yingying looked at Qiao Xinruo with a strange expression.
Alone? Unsafe? Is Qiao Laosi questioning my abilities?
[It's not far from the family compound to the military base, and the journey should be safe!]
Even if I were truly unlucky enough to encounter scoundrels, the one who would really suffer would be the criminal, not me! Would I let a criminal bully me?
This queen is not to be trifled with!
Qiao Xinruo: ...I shouldn't have said anything!
But Qiao Gaoyang wouldn't give up so easily; he was determined to win!
"Actually, I had some things to do on my way back to the military base, so it was just on my way..." he said.
Leng Yingying didn't think much of it. Since it was on the same route, it was normal to go back to the army together. It would be nice to have someone to talk to on the way.
"Alright then, let's go," Leng Yingying said.
The other three shook their heads, watching the two figures leave, all of them feeling a pang of worry for Qiao Gaoyang.
“It seems that it won’t be easy for Second Brother to win over Second Sister-in-law…” Qiao Xinruo said.
She felt that Leng Yingying was unusually oblivious. Even at the dinner table today, her second brother was incredibly attentive, yet Leng Yingying remained completely oblivious. This…
