Chapter 7
A cold male voice came into everyone's ears, and a man in military uniform walked in. He first glanced at Tan Rongguang and Huang Qiujuan expressionlessly, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Suihan.
Huang Qiujuan asked immediately: "Who are you?"
The man's seemingly casual glance just now made her feel pressured. This man was not simple.
Xu Zhao ignored Huang Qiujuan and walked straight to Jiang Suihan: "Sorry, I'm late."
Jiang Suihan was still wondering who this person was. She had no recollection of having seen him before, but judging from his height, he was definitely over 1.80 meters, with bright eyes and sparse brows, tall and long legs, and an upright posture.
After three seconds, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: she might know who he was.
Jiang Suihan's eyes flickered unconsciously, and she looked at him and replied hesitantly, "No, I came just in time."
Indeed, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The timing was just right, and he slapped the two shameless people in the face on the spot. I just don’t know how much he heard at the door.
It feels a bit awkward.
Xu Zhao looked serious and explained, "I'm sorry. I went on a mission three months ago and just came back a few days ago. I saw the letter and rushed over immediately, but I didn't expect that I would still be late. I heard about your father's situation. I'm sorry."
After getting off the train, he found out the address of the Jiang family and learned that Uncle Jiang had passed away, leaving only the Jiang brother and sister to depend on each other. People around him always sighed when they talked about Father Jiang. Father Jiang was a good man, but he ended up dying of illness like this. Some people even curiously asked him why he was asking about the Jiang family and who he was in the Jiang family.
Xu Zhao was eager to find the person quickly, so he just vaguely said that he was an old acquaintance of the Jiang family, and came to see what happened when he heard that the Jiang family was in trouble, so as not to give anyone any chance to talk about him.
Jiang Suihan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "It's all over. Thank you for coming."
So much time had passed, she thought Xu Zhao would not come. If he could come, he would have come long ago. Otherwise, even if he was delayed for some reason, he should have sent a letter to explain clearly. However, she did not expect that it was for this reason that he finally came and did not disappoint Jiang's father's expectations.
It is not clear whether he came here to fulfill the engagement or to cancel it?
Seeing Jiang Suihan and Xu Zhao chatting as if no one was around, Qin Rongguang's face became darker and darker. She hadn't even married into his family yet, but she dared to flirt with other men in front of him. Did he really think he was a dead man?
And who is this man, and what is his relationship with Jiang Suihan?
Qin Rongguang stared at the two of them, his heart was not at peace. A man suddenly appeared in the Jiang family, and it seemed that he knew Jiang Suihan. He was worried that the planned things would go wrong.
He glanced at Huang Qiujuan who was standing there, motioning for her to speak.
Huang Qiujuan rolled her eyes and looked at Xu Zhao's tall and straight figure. Due to his imposing manner, she did not dare to step forward.
"I say, comrade, what's wrong with you? Who are you? You don't know any etiquette. You just casually enter someone else's house. Can't you see we are talking? We still have something to discuss. Please leave immediately."
Jiang Leyun hid behind Jiang Suihan, poked his head out and said, "This is my home, you should leave quickly, we don't welcome you."
The little guy had a special liking for the soldiers in green uniforms. He felt safe and became braver.
He is not afraid because the soldier uncle is around.
Xu Zhao looked directly at Qin Rongguang and said, "I am Jiang Suihan's fiancé. Her affairs are my affairs. I heard you forcing her just now. Please leave immediately, or don't blame me for being rude."
On the train, he was still racking his brains over how to deal with the matter with the Jiang family. The two old fathers discussed it in the letter and directly arranged marriages for the two children, directly skipping the parties involved. This seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
However, Jiang's father passed away, and only Jiang Suihan and her younger brother were left in the Jiang family. One was delicate and pretty, and the other was a little boy of only seven years old. How the two siblings were going to live was a big problem.
What's more, in the scene just now, if he hadn't come, or he came too late, it is unknown what kind of experience Jiang Suihan would face. Maybe in the end, she would have to give in under the coercion of that man.
It’s a headache to think about a pretty girl living in such a world without anyone to protect her.
Qin Rongguang stared at Xu Zhao with a frown. Jiang Suihan's fiancé suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Looking at Xu Zhao's height of more than 1.80 meters, he thought of Jiang Suihan's description of her future partner.
It turns out that she wasn't just saying that in anger.
Qin Rongguang clenched his hands tightly. Facing Xu Zhao, who could knock him down with one punch, he did not dare to vent his anger on him. He turned to Huang Qiujuan and said angrily, "Okay, you Jiang family teamed up to deceive me and treat me like a fool. I will remember this."
He glared at Xu Zhao and Jiang Huihan hatefully and walked away without looking back.
Huang Qiujuan's face was full of anxiety. She wanted to chase after Qin Rongguang and explain clearly that her whole family depended on the food factory for their livelihood. If she angered the young master of the food factory, she would have no chance of continuing to work in the factory.
Not only did the planned thing fail, but I also offended the factory director's son. It was not worth it.
All of this was caused by this dead girl. If she had agreed to marry Qin Rongguang, everything would have been solved. But the dead girl refused to agree, and a fiancé appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing Qin Rongguang walk away in a flash, Huang Qiujuan was furious and anxious. She ignored Xu Zhao standing next to her and pointed at Jiang Huihan and scolded her: "You damn girl, you are just like your short-lived mother. You rely on your pretty face to flirt with men all day long, as if you can't live without a man."
"I shamelessly said all the good things about you in front of Comrade Qin, and he reluctantly agreed to come and see you. But you secretly met a low-class man who came from nowhere, and brought shame to our Jiang family. I think your father would be so angry at you that he would come back from his grave."
Jiang Huihan reached out and grabbed the angry Jiang Leyun, pulled the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, thank you my parents for giving me such a beautiful face, it's hard to give up natural beauty. I know you envy me, aunt, but I can't help it. I have a good reincarnation technique, and this kind of thing can't be envied."
After saying that, she lifted the hair by her ears in a pretentious manner.
Huang Qiujuan almost vomited blood, her face was pale and blue. Jiang Suihan's behavior today completely overturned her previous impression of her niece. She thought she was a little white rabbit that would not bite people, but it turned out to be a fox spirit in rabbit skin.
Cunning and cunning, with a sweet appearance but a black heart.
Unable to convince Jiang Suihan, Huang Qiujuan turned to Xu Zhao, "Jiang Guoxin is my brother-in-law. I have never heard him mention an engagement for my daughter. You are a soldier and you are talking nonsense. Where are you from? I will complain to your leader. You are so cruel to destroy a girl's reputation so casually."
Xu Zhao said calmly, "I have no right to tell you. Whether I am her fiancé or not has nothing to do with you. Leave or not, if you don't leave, I will take action."
Logically speaking, Huang Qiujuan is Jiang Suihan's aunt, and he should respect his elders. However, just now Huang Qiujuan deceived Jiang Suihan openly and secretly, trying to use his niece and others to exchange for benefits. Such a person is not worthy of him treating her as an elder.
Although Huang Qiujuan was a little afraid of Xu Zhao, she didn't want to return empty-handed, so she said, "This is my niece's home. I can stay as long as I want. What can you do to me? You said he was my niece's fiancé. What evidence do you have? You're just talking nonsense. Show me the evidence."
She was sure that Xu Zhao could not produce any evidence. If he was really Jiang Suihan's fiancé, she should have heard any rumors about it. She suspected that Jiang Suihan was secretly dating someone without telling her family.
How can a poor soldier be compared with the young master of a food factory?
Huang Qiujuan thought to herself that the silly girl must have been fooled by this soldier and had lost her way. Being pretty couldn't make a living, and being a soldier's wife wasn't easy. Once a man was on a mission, he wouldn't be home for several months. She had to have a good talk with her niece and let her give up the idea and then apologize to Qin Rongguang. Then maybe this marriage could be successful.
Without saying anything else, Xu Zhao grabbed Huang Qiujuan by the back of her collar and threw her out.
Huang Qiujuan grimaced in pain, struggled to get up from the ground, pointed her finger and was about to curse.
With a bang, the door closed. She didn't know whether to curse or not. No one was there to support her. After cursing a few times, she left in shame.
Jiang Leyun looked at Xu Zhao with stars in his eyes: "Uncle, you are so awesome!"
The bad guys were driven away without any effort. It’s awesome!
Jiang Suihan pretended to cough and said, "Call me brother."
The little guy is very knowledgeable, his voice is clear and loud: "Brother is so awesome!"
Xu Zhao gently touched the top of the child's head and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you later."
Jiang Leyun nodded heavily, smiling: "Okay."
When he learns some skills, he will protect his sister. Anyone who dares to bully his sister will be beaten to a pulp by him.
Jiang Huihan let out a breath calmly and smiled as she thanked him: "Well, thank you for what happened just now."
Xu Zhao: “No need.”
Perhaps realizing that his tone seemed a bit stiff, he added, "There's no need to be so polite between us. This is what I should do."
Without the enemy blocking the way in front, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward. Although they were said to be an engaged couple, they had actually only met each other a few times when they were children, and now was the first time they met after growing up, so they were almost like strangers.
Jiang Suihan pinched her fingers and asked a very common question: "Have you eaten?"
Xu Zhao replied honestly with two words: "No."
The train was delayed for more than half an hour and arrived in Mingjiang City at around seven o'clock. Because he was worried about Jiang Huihan's situation, he did not stop for a moment and rushed to the address on the letter.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he said it I suddenly felt hungry.
Jiang Suihan was just about to say, "I'll go cook something for you," but then she remembered that there was nothing to eat at home.
She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there's nothing to eat at home. I'll go out and buy you something to eat. You take a rest first, and I'll be back soon."
Fortunately, I just got two dollars from Huang Qiujuan, which saved me from the embarrassment of going out with empty pockets.
Xu Zhao frowned, thinking that if he had arrived a day or two later, the brother and sister might not be bullied to death, but they might starve to death.
He stopped Jiang Huihan and said, "I'm not tired. I'll go with you."
Jiang Leyun came up to the two of them, not wanting to be left alone in the room: "I'll go too."
"Okay, let's go together."
Jiang Suihan took out the key and prepared to lock the door. The iron lock was a little rusty and could be used barely, but it was difficult to lock. It took a lot of effort to lock the door.
