Chapter 67

Dongdong has grown taller this year, but as the youngest, he is still the shortest among the four boys. He doesn't care when he sees the other three boys looking at him with unfriendly eyes!

"Dongdong, did you secretly give Shuangshuang some candy yesterday?"

"No!" Dongdong never uses backdoors, "I'm not you!"

Dunzi curled his lips, feeling tired. He scratched the back of his head, but couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

He has failed as a big brother! How could Shuangshuang be so nice to Dongdong? It is really hard to understand!

Hengheng didn't care about anything else and went up to Shuangshuang to watch her performance.

This is Shuangshuang’s most daily routine, where she performs walking shows for everyone.

The little girl loved the fun. Ever since she could walk, she loved to listen to people bragging about themselves, and the more they praised, the more excited she became.

There are many neighbors in the family compound, and many of them like to tease the babies, especially Shuangshuang, the cutest one.

"Shuangshuang, come and walk! Let's see if you can walk well today."

"Shuangshuang is not shy. With so many people around, she just leaves as soon as she wants."

Everyone likes her, mainly because she never cries for no reason and is smiling most of the time. When she smiles, she is like the spring sunshine, bright and beautiful enough to melt the ice and snow.

Shuangshuang was wearing a beautiful white floral cotton shirt and trousers today, with a smile on her fair face. She walked forward with her two chubby legs swaying, but she was quite steady.

I walked smoothly for seven or eight meters and reached the finish line. I was so excited by everyone's praise that I immediately performed a turnaround walk back to the starting point.

"Shuangshuang is walking pretty steadily."

“It is indeed good.”

Dunzi praised Shuangshuang loudly, "Shuangshuang walks so steadily, she won't fall!"

As soon as the words fell, they saw Shuangshuang's body tilted.

Shuangshuang gradually lost herself in the gazes and praises of the crowd. She got so excited that her legs didn't balance properly, her left foot tripped over her right foot, and she was about to fall.

Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu were originally on both sides of her. They stepped forward to pick up the girl. Dunzi and Chenchen also reacted immediately and wanted to go over to pick her up.

Shuangshuang had fallen many times while walking, mainly when she was practicing on the bed. At this moment she already knew she was going to fall, so she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes brushing her eyelids, and without much struggle, she just waited to land on her buttocks. As a result... her little body fell sideways into her father's arms.

Cheng Zheng was quick-witted and caught the young lady in two strides. Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oooooh~ It hurts~" Both of their little faces wrinkled and their voices were filled with tears, but their eyes were still closed and only their long eyelashes were sweeping across their eyelids.

"You didn't fall, so why does it hurt?" Cheng Zheng caught the girl steadily, wondering where she was hurt.

Jian Lu suspected that the girl was being silly, this was already a conditioned reflex, "Shuangshuang, look at yourself, did you fall?"

Shuangshuang, who was interrupted from crying by her parents, opened her eyes and found herself in her father's arms in confusion. "Sang Shuang didn't fall?"

The little girl was puzzled. Her buttocks were clearly hurting, so why didn't she fall?

"Then it won't hurt, Sang Shuang." Shuangshuang smiled and put her little hands on her father's arms, struggling to get up. She had not finished walking yet and had to continue the performance.

Cheng Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw his young lady crying one moment and not crying the next, and how she couldn't change her expression so quickly.

The next day, Qian Jingjing arrived at the island carrying a military bag and a pile of letters. After landing on the island, the first thing she did was to go to see her goddaughter. At this time, her aunt and uncle must be busy in the army, so it would be a waste of time if she went there.

When she saw him again after a few months, she found that Shuangshuang could already speak. Although his voice was not very clear, his baby voice was even more adorable.

"Shuangshuang, call me mommy." Qian Jingjing repeated the actions of every adult and child who appeared in front of Shuangshuang, and began to teach the child to call her whenever she caught her.

Both of them were busy with their work, and as a mother, Jian Lu was unable to help and could only help teach them.

"Shuangshuang, do you want to know your mother? Learn from her and be safe, eh, mom~"

Shuangshuang looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Qian Jingjing squatting in front of her. She stretched out her little hand to touch her arm, then immediately retracted it, "Duan Ma~"

"What the hell~"

"Fuck~Mom~"

Qian Jingjing's mood finally improved when she heard the standard "Mom". This little child is so small, but he makes people feel soft-hearted.

"Oh, Shuangshuang is so good." Qian Jingjing brought a gift to her goddaughter, opened the military bag, and found three cloth coupons from a pile of letters, two of which were worth two feet and one was worth one foot.

Qian Jingjing was very generous when she handed the cloth coupons to Jian Lu, "Use them to buy cloth for Shuangshuang to make clothes."

"We don't want the cloth coupons!" Jian Lu knew that the cloth coupons were too precious and was unwilling to accept them. "You can use them to buy cloth and make clothes."

"Here you go!" Qian Jingjing winked at her. "My eldest brother sent it to me. After that, I asked my second brother for a few more. Don't worry, I'll keep them for myself! Look how beautiful Shuangshuang has grown. She will be old enough to buy beautiful fabrics for new clothes in the future. Don't be stingy."

Jian Lu had no choice but to accept it, but then she noticed that there was something wrong with Qian Jingjing's military bag.

"What's in your bag? It's bulging and a few corners are sticking out."

"This!" Qian Jingjing took out the letters, "Qian Hongzhuo sent it to me."

"Ah?" Jian Lu was surprised for a moment, looking at the at least twenty letters, "He regrets it now and wants to break up with Wang Jin and be with you?"

"That's right, Lulu, tell me, why was I blind at that time!"

"It's not your fault. He's really good at pretending." But Jian Lu wondered, "He wrote this. Isn't he afraid that you won't agree? And if Wang Jin finds out, he'll end up losing everything?"

"He knows I will definitely not go around shouting about this letter, otherwise my reputation will be affected by him, and later on, I will be the one who has an unclear relationship with him and Wang Jin."

Rumors are terrible. Once there is a little bit of them, they will be magnified by endless suspicion. Many times, rumors spread everywhere and then change their meaning.

Jian Lu understood that if she made a scene, it would be bad for Qian Jingjing's reputation, especially since people nowadays attach great importance to reputation.

"and you..."

"But I'm different now. I don't plan to get married, so why should I care about these reputations?" Qian Jingjing complained to Qian Hongzhuo, "I just hate him. He sends me letters every month. It's really annoying!"

After talking to Jian Lu, Qian Jingjing finally felt relieved. Before leaving, she invited Jian Lu to come to her aunt's house to watch a show tomorrow.

"I really don't want to put up with him anymore. I'll throw this letter in his face."

Jian Lu was shocked by Qian Jingjing's aura. After not seeing her for a while, she realized that this person was really amazing!

When Cheng Zheng returned home, he saw his wife preparing to look for melon seeds and peanuts.

Cheng Zheng was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to eat melons and watch a play tomorrow."

——

Cheng Zheng was dragged by Jian Lu to Song Lu's house. He was wondering why Song Lu's family suddenly wanted to treat everyone to dinner.

"Didn't Song Lu tell me?"

"Jingjing said the same thing as I did."

"She cooks?"

Jian Lu thought of those letters, and it seemed that this statement was not wrong. "Almost. Comrade Qian Jingjing is the chef today."

Chef, serve the main course.

......

Family compound, home of Brigade Commander Song Zhaokang.

Qian Honglian, who had just returned home from the Women's Federation, was surprised by the sudden arrival of her niece Qian Jingjing five minutes ago, but now she was furious.

"Is Qian Hongzhuo such a person?"

After listening to Jingjing's explanation of the whole story, she learned how Qian Hongzhuo had been exchanging letters with her, how he would say ambiguous things to her when they met that would make her feel excited and misunderstand, and how he would do things that he would only do when pursuing someone, and how he suddenly stopped contacting her for several months. In the end, she found out when she went to him that he had climbed up the social ladder and became the prospective son-in-law of Deputy Brigade Commander Wang.

Qian Honglian hurriedly read the letter brought by Jingjing. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. This man really treated the Qian family's daughter as a fool.

"Jingjing, why did you tell me now? Otherwise I..."

"Aunt, I had no evidence before. Think about it, he had planned it all out long ago. Our previous correspondence would have no connection to anyone who read it. Only I knew the vague things he said. Even if I went around saying that he despised the poor and loved the rich, no one would believe me."

Qian Honglian thought so too, this guy is really calculating!

But the letters in the last few months were very different. Qian Honglian immediately understood, "Last time he knew your father was a leader, he couldn't help himself and wrote to you to show his affection. He was quite restrained in the first few letters, but in the last few he even used love poems!"

"Yes, I don't want to endure it anymore. This person's true identity should be known to everyone!" Qian Jingjing risked her life.

"Jingjing, this matter should be handled by your uncle!" Qian Honglian thought about it and felt that she might not be able to help Song Zhaokang, after all, her husband was the brigade commander. "You will do as I say later. When your uncle comes back, tell him that Qian Hongzhuo harassed you. You used to be pure revolutionary comrades. You exchanged letters with each other to exchange local customs and habits, but then gradually lost contact. But last time, when he heard that your father was a leader, he started writing to you again, and even said some hurtful words when he had a partner."

"Aunt, are you saying that we should distance ourselves from what happened before?" Qian Jingjing was actually prepared to tell him everything, "But he was desperate and wanted to talk about what happened before..."

"You admit it just because he says so?" Qian Honglian didn't want her niece's reputation to be damaged. "Since you are sure that there is nothing wrong with your previous reply to him, his letter was also well planned, and others can't find any fault with it. At the beginning, he was worried that your communication relationship would be discovered, so he deliberately kept a trick. Now isn't it just right for us to use it? This way, the impact on your reputation will be the smallest! Otherwise, he will say that you were pursuing him, and this matter will be unclear!"

"Aunt, it doesn't matter. I don't care about reputation. I just want Qian Hongzhuo to learn a lesson!" Qian Jingjing has always had such courage.

"Nonsense!" Qian Honglian frowned and looked at her niece, thinking that this child was really making a fuss. "Don't you know how important a girl's reputation is? If rumors spread outside, how will you find a partner? We will definitely have no trouble finding a partner. The important thing is to find an excellent one who won't be influenced by others!"

When Qian Jingjing heard this, she looked at her aunt with tears in her eyes, "I understand, aunt, I will definitely listen to you! Then I will have nothing to do with him!"

——

When Song Zhaokang came back from the army, his wife Qian Honglian had already arrived. She was in the Women's Federation office of the army every day and usually had some free time.

Looking at the large table of dishes, Song Zhaokang thought about the past. "Honglian, what festival is today? Or whose birthday is it?"

"Uncle!" Qian Jingjing poked her head out of the kitchen, "It's because I'm here."

"Hey, Jingjing!"

Song Zhaokang understood and thought it made sense, as his daughter-in-law loved her niece very much.

"How are you doing in the art troupe recently? Is your work going well?"

Song Zhaokang asked about his juniors as usual. He thought Qian Jingjing would reply "all good" as she did in the past, but she frowned and started to complain.

"Uncle, there is no problem with work, but life is not so good,"

"Huh? What's wrong with your life?" It was rare for Song Zhaokang to hear this girl complain. Qian Jingjing had a good family background, but she was a hard-working person, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to learn dancing. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for her to find a part-time job?

"Someone is harassing me."

"What?!" Song Zhaokang leaned forward. The word "harassment" was not something he said casually. "Tell your uncle what happened?"

After all, Qian Jingjing is the youngest in the family and the daughter of the chief of the Southwest Military Region. When Qian Jingjing joined the army as a female soldier in the art troupe, she was close to the island, so Qian's father specially asked Song Zhaokang to look after her. If she got into trouble because of harassment, he, as her uncle, would be too embarrassed to put down his face.

"There was a gay man who wrote to me every month. The letters were full of mushy words, and he also said that he wanted to date me." Qian Jingjing didn't even want to recall some of the words, anything about the stars and the moon.

Disgusting! Nausea!

"Oh my." Hearing this, Song Zhaokang relaxed. "Girl, the guy is pursuing you. Do you like him? If you like him, then date him. If you don't like him, then just tell him clearly. It won't become harassment."

"Uncle, but that gay man already has a partner."

"What?" Song Zhaokang frowned and slapped the coffee table. "He has a girlfriend, but he still messes with you? What a bastard! Jingjing, don't fall into his trap!"

"Well, I won't."

"What's this person's name? What's his family background? Where is he working now or is he one of the educated youth sent to work in the countryside?" Song Zhaokang guessed that Qian Jingjing was a girl who was being harassed and couldn't get rid of it, so she could only think of a solution herself.

"You know this person."

"Who?" Song Zhaokang's pupils shrank. This person was actually someone he knew. Could he be someone from his own unit? !

Is it possible that there is such a bastard in the army?

"Qian Hongzhuo." Qian Jingjing took out the letter from the military bag and handed it to her uncle, "It's Wang Jin's boyfriend. These are the letters he sent me in the past few months."

Song Zhaokang was shocked by the three words "Qian Hongzhuo". The young man who was transferred here last year seemed to have good abilities and good character. He also had a partner, and now he even had a deputy brigade commander as his future father-in-law. How could he directly provoke Jingjing?

After taking a look at the letter, Song Zhaokang's face turned even darker. Qian Hongzhuo was Wang Jin's boyfriend. He heard from Wang Qiang that he was quite satisfied with Qian Hongzhuo and they were probably about to discuss their marriage. Yet, this guy actually wrote these things to Jingjing!

Even if Jingjing refused, once the news got out, it would be a big deal that would tarnish her reputation!

"How did he get in touch with you? Could it be that he set his eyes on you the last time he saw you on my 55th birthday?"

Qian Jingjing had already said this, "Uncle, no, actually he and I knew each other before."

"What? You two knew each other before?"

Qian Jingjing told her uncle about her unexpected encounter with Qian Hongzhuo, but she concealed the love-hate relationship between the two. She only said that they were pen pals who exchanged ideas on revolutionary causes, and they had occasionally communicated with each other to introduce local customs and people and to encourage each other ideologically.

The content of the letters between the two was indeed not romantic at all, and anyone who read it would say that it was a pure revolutionary comradeship. Because Qian Hongzhuo's somewhat corny words that made Qian Jingjing think of something were all said when they met.

At first, Qian Hongzhuo was just playing around, so he was extra careful and didn't leave any evidence in the letter. Now, this has given Qian Jingjing a chance to distance themselves from the relationship.

She took out a few more letters and said, "Uncle, look, these are our previous correspondences. They were just ordinary exchanges between revolutionary comrades, sometimes talking about hometown food and so on. I don't know why he suddenly wrote to me after your birthday last time. In fact, we haven't been in touch for several months before. I almost forgot about such an ordinary relationship. It's just like other comrades. Could it be that he really heard that my father is the head of the military region and wants to pursue me?"

Song Lu opened the letter and read it, and he had a rough idea in his mind that Qian Hongzhuo obviously wanted to get close to the Qian family, which had a better family background, while being a partner with Wang Jin. Once Qian Jingjing agreed, he could separate from Wang Jin and become the chief's son-in-law.

What a good plan!

"Jingjing, don't worry about it and don't pay any attention to him. I'll handle it." Song Zhaokang withdrew his elder's gentle tone and instantly became the serious brigade commander again.

Qian Honglian had first heard Jingjing talk about this troubling matter, but now that she heard her man's statement, she felt a little relieved. "Old Song, you have to handle this matter beautifully and don't affect Jingjing's reputation."

If necessary, she thought of using his name as Song Lu to put pressure on him, which was why she did not step forward to deal with the matter.

"After dinner, I'll ask Xiao Xu to call Qian Hongzhuo over, and we'll deal with this matter." Song Lu thought for a while and decided that it would be better to handle personal matters at home.

"Okay, I also asked Jingjing to call Xiao Cheng and Xiao Jian to come over and have dinner together."

"Well...we need to deal with Jingjing's matter, why did we ask Cheng Zheng and the others to come?"

Song Zhaokang was not stingy with a meal for his subordinates, but he felt that it was inconvenient today because he had some household chores to attend to, and it was a big matter involving his niece's reputation.

"Jingjing has a very good relationship with Xiao Cheng's wife. She knows everything about Jingjing and Qian Hongzhuo, and can serve as a witness. Besides, we can call the people to our house to talk about it. There will be no outside witnesses. If we handle it well, Qian Hongzhuo will go outside and say that you, Song Zhaokang, relied on your status as brigade commander to suppress him and force him to admit it. We can't explain it with our mouths."

Qian Honglian wanted to handle the matter satisfactorily, so it would be a good idea to call Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu to be witnesses.

"That's fine. I trust Xiao Cheng's character. They will definitely not tell anyone."

——

When Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu arrived at Song Lu's house, the three of them had already discussed the matter.

There were five dishes on the table, all cooked by Qian Honglian and Qian Jingjing. The food tasted good, but it didn’t fully arouse anyone’s interest.

The people at the table were eating with different thoughts in their mind. Qian Jingjing was ready to watch the show, Qian Honglian was feeling sullen, angry that Qian Hongzhuo was going too far, and Lu Song was heartbroken that there were still officers with such problematic thoughts and behaviors in the army.

As for Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu, Cheng Zheng was the only one who didn't know anything and just focused on eating, while Jian Lu was secretly looking forward to what would happen next.

After finishing the meal, Song Zhaokang said to the orderly who had also finished his dinner.

"Xiao Xu, go to the single dormitory and call Qian Hongzhuo over. Tell him I have something to say to him. Once he's informed, go back and rest."

"Yes, Commander."

——

Deputy Brigade Commander Wang's family, who lived just one floor away from Song Zhaokang's family, had just finished dinner.

Wang Jin ate his meal in a depressed mood and was full after just a few bites.

The Queen Mother looked at the child worriedly, "What's wrong? How can he eat so little?"

"Mom, I have no appetite." Wang Jin poked at the rice in the bowl and said weakly.

The Queen Mother was an experienced person, and she had seen the recent changes in her daughter. "Why hasn't Xiao Qian come home recently? I was planning to ask him about the matter he had agreed with you."

Mentioning Qian Hongzhuo, Wang Jin felt even more uncomfortable and snorted heavily, "He said the army was busy and he hasn't seen me for a long time. Mom, I wonder if he is having an affair outside, otherwise why wouldn't he see me! There must be a bitch who seduced him!"

"Nonsense!" Deputy Brigade Commander Wang felt that he had spoiled the girl. "You are a whore and a bitch. Who taught you to talk like that? You are just a high school student!"

The Queen Mother was annoyed to hear her husband scolding the princess, especially when the princess was obviously frightened by her father and shuddered, which made the Queen Mother feel distressed.

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you yelling so loudly? It's just a casual remark from a lady." After scolding the man, she turned around and comforted the lady, "Ignore your father. But, mom thinks Xiao Qian is a handsome boy with good abilities. It's not like what you said. He must be busy with military training. As a man, he has to fight hard. You have to get used to it when you get married, understand?"

Wang Jin wanted to say a few more insults, but when he saw his father's stern look, he could only swallow the rest of his words.

The last time she saw him writing a letter in his single dormitory, but as soon as he saw her coming, he immediately hid himself. She didn't believe there was something fishy going on!

He had snatched him away from a female educated youth in the past, so it was possible that another woman would appear and snatch him away now. Wang Jin was worried and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

She got up and left home, ready to go to the single dormitory to look for someone again.

But just after going downstairs, Wang Jin saw a familiar figure walking into the family compound. He was wearing a white military uniform, had a straight posture, and a handsome profile. Who else could it be but his object, Qian Hongzhuo?

Thinking that this person came to see him after finishing his work, Wang Jin felt happy, and the thought of blaming him before disappeared instantly.

"Hong..." Wang Jin was about to speak, but he saw that Qian Hongzhuo did not go to the family building where he lived, but went to the next building instead.

Living next door is...Brigade Commander Song. His niece Qian Jingjing came today and Wang Jin even met her.

The premonition became stronger and stronger, and Wang Jin had a bad guess in his heart, so he raised his leg and followed.

=

"Song Lu, you're looking for me?"

Qian Hongzhuo appeared at the door of Song Lu's house, but the first thing he saw was Qian Jingjing sitting on the sofa!

After not seeing each other for several months, Qian Jingjing finally showed up! Qian Hongzhuo was surprised and delighted, guessing that his persistence in sending letters had paid off.

I discovered it when I first started dating Qian Jingjing. This girl was simple-minded, easy to deceive and coax, and she even hid her family background. Otherwise, why would I continue to pursue Wang Jin?

Ever since he knew that Qian Jingjing was the daughter of the chief of the Southwest Military Region, Qian Hongzhuo no longer looked down on Wang Jin, the daughter of the deputy brigade commander.

Originally, Wang Jin was not as good looking as Qian Jingjing, and her figure was also much inferior. If it were not for her family background, she would never have given up Qian Jingjing and chosen Wang Jin.

Now, what I do is to bring everything back to the starting point.

Jingjing came here specially today, and she must have been moved by his letter. As soon as the two of them confirmed their relationship, he would immediately go and tell Wang Jin that they had broken up.

"Jingjing, you're here too?"

When Qian Jingjing heard Qian Hongzhuo's voice, which he thought was gentle and affectionate, she almost vomited the dinner she had just eaten. She remained silent and ignored him.

"Comrade Qian Hongzhuo, please sit down first." Song Zhaokang and Qian Honglian sat in the main seats, and Qian Hongzhuo sat on the sofa on the side, facing Qian Jingjing.

Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu sat next to Qian Jingjing, lowering their presence and watching the show. Cheng Zheng, in particular, didn't quite understand how this could have happened when he was just here for dinner.

"Song Lu, why did you come to see me today?"

"Take a look at this." Song Lu got straight to the point and pushed the letters Qian Hongzhuo had written to Qian Jingjing in the past four months in front of him. "Jingjing said you were harassing her."

"Song Lu, that's not the case." Qian Hongzhuo didn't expect Qian Jingjing to not care about her reputation and take out the letter directly, but he was also prepared, "It's not harassment, Jingjing and I are in love with each other!"

"You..." Qian Jingjing was shocked by this man's shamelessness.

"Jingjing, don't say anything. I'll ask him." Song Lu interrupted his niece and looked at Qian Hongzhuo. "Comrade Qian Hongzhuo, if I remember correctly, you have a target, Wang Jin, the daughter of Wang Qiang."

"That's right, Song Lu, I hope you can understand. Jingjing and I have been in love for a long time, but something went wrong and Wang Jin and I got together by accident. But I don't love her at all. The only one I like from the beginning to the end is Jingjing."

"Qian Hongzhuo!" Wang Jin, who was eavesdropping at the door, could no longer hold back and rushed out with red eyes, "How can you say that! You clearly said you love me!"

Wang Jin's sudden appearance disrupted Song Lu's plan. He originally didn't want to alarm the Wang family. He was only prepared to privately observe Wang Qiang's attitude and remind him not to fall into the trap of this young man.

But now Wang Jin heard it.

Cheng Zheng originally thought that he was just here to have a meal today, but he didn't expect to hear such a messy and bloody emotional entanglement. Even the experienced Captain Cheng couldn't remain calm and his body leaned forward in an instant.

Qian Hongzhuo looked good, but I didn't expect there was a problem?!

Thinking of how his wife had tried every means to prevent him from having too much contact with Qian Hongzhuo, Cheng Zheng gave in this time and turned sideways to look at his wife.

Jian Lu was watching the chaotic scene with excitement. My goodness, this is too chaotic! Why did Wang Jin rush out and even grabbed Qian Hongzhuo's clothes to question him!

Not only Jian Lu was watching the show, Qian Jingjing was also happy to see Qian Hongzhuo being dragged around by Wang Jin.

"Wang Jin, can't you see it? This guy has different views and different ideas!"

"Shut up!" Wang Jin glared at Qian Jingjing fiercely, "It must be you, you seduced my girlfriend!"

Qian Jingjing was furious when she heard Wang Jin's words, "Can you open your eyes? Look carefully, he is harassing me."

"Xiao Jin, you are not allowed to say that about Jingjing. Jingjing is a good girl, and so are you. It's my fault. I actually like Jingjing."

"I don't believe it!"

Seeing the young people making a scene, Qian Honglian shouted at them, "Okay, shut up!"

Jian Lu was listening to Qian Hongzhuo's slightly corny lines in Qiong Yao's style with great interest, but was interrupted by Director Qian's shout. She felt a little regretful. She really wanted to see what else Qian Hongzhuo could perform.

"Xiao Jian, please help us run a trip and notify Deputy Brigade Commander Wang to come over. Let's talk this matter out face to face between the two families."

Qian Honglian saw that there was no way to resolve the issue quietly, so she simply asked Wang Qiang to come over so that everyone could talk it out clearly to avoid any hidden dangers or barriers.

"good."

Cheng Zheng accompanied his wife out, and as soon as they left Song Lu's house, he felt that he could breathe deeply.

After all, the scene was terrible. It was so noisy that even the loud sound of your breathing would affect other people's performance.

"Qian Hongzhuo is really such a person." Cheng Zheng couldn't help but sigh, how could he become like this out of nowhere.

"I told you so long ago." Jian Lu was a little proud. This guy was still stubborn with her at that time. But she couldn't blame him. After all, he didn't have a God's perspective.

"Yes, you are right, Qian Hongzhuo is really a piece of shit." Cheng Zheng originally admired his abilities. Although he promised his wife that he would not have any private contact with him, he also rejected his invitations to dinner many times. Even Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang could see it.

But he couldn't explain it. How could he say that his wife disliked people?

Now the truth is out. After seeing this scene with his own eyes, Cheng Zheng was convinced. "You have a good eye. You can see it clearly."

"Isn't it?" Jian Lu finally made Cheng Zheng see clearly that Qian Hongzhuo was a two-faced jerk. "Anyway, your wife won't hurt you."

"Yes, I've learned my lesson!"

Walking up the stairs to Vice Brigade Commander Wang's family building, Jian Lu walked in front and turned back to look at Cheng Zheng, "So, you should listen to me in everything from now on. I have other abilities, but I am very good at judging people!"

Cheng Zheng looked at his wife's raised eyes, beaming with joy, and was quite proud. "Then how about you take a look at me?"

"As for you..." Jian Lu stopped, looked him up and down, and concluded, "You are a handsome guy!"

Cheng Zheng: "..."

Such a superficial evaluation.

I also thought that a daughter-in-law should be evaluated based on her character, ability, and responsibility.

Cheng Zheng could only comfort himself, thinking that it was okay, at least it was nice to hear.

After inviting Deputy Brigade Commander Wang to the Song family, Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu completed their mission and went back to the quiet watching mode.

Only Wang Qiang, who had just arrived, was completely confused.

"Old Song, what's wrong?" Why is his daughter-in-law and future son-in-law here? He doesn't look well. "Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you?"

"Old Wang, this matter, ah..." Song Zhaokang briefly explained the matter, and Qian Honglian added some details.

After hearing these words, Wang Qiang's face became darker and darker.

"Qian Hongzhuo, is this all true?!!!" Deputy Brigade Commander Wang asked in a roar, his eyes seemed to pop out.

"Dad, it's not like that..." Wang Jin couldn't help but speak up for Qian Hongzhuo when he saw how ferocious his father looked.

"Get out of here!" Wang Qiang looked at this spoiled lady and suddenly felt a headache. She was really deceived and didn't know what was going on. "Qian Hongzhuo, you tell me!"

Qian Hongzhuo had visited the Wang family in the past, and he had always met Deputy Brigade Commander Wang who was kind and looked up to his future son-in-law. He had never seen him like this before. Swallowing his saliva, Qian Hongzhuo felt a chill, but now he was in a dilemma, and he had to risk it. "Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, Xiaojin and I were indeed immature. We started dating without thinking clearly. Jingjing and I are the ones who love each other."

He had to drag Qian Jingjing down with him. As long as he insisted that he and Qian Jingjing liked each other and there were so many communications as evidence, Qian Jingjing's reputation would be ruined. Both the Qian family and the Song Lu couple would have to compromise and let her be with him.

Bang!

Wang Qiang slapped Qian Hongzhuo in anger, not because he was a deputy brigade commander and he was one level higher than him, but because he was a father. "What did you say when you came to our house? You said you would treat Xiaojin well and wanted to be her lifelong revolutionary partner! Now you say you didn't think clearly?!"

"Hongzhuo, are you okay?" Wang Jin was heartbroken when he saw his beloved being slapped. He rushed to Qian Hongzhuo's side and stood in front of his father, "Dad, how could you hit him?"

"Why can't I beat him?" Wang Qiang looked at the stupid girl, spread out his five fingers, and tried to suppress his anger with his hands. "If you are still so confused and still protect this bastard, I will beat you too!"

"Old Wang, forget it, don't be angry with the child." Song Lu saw that this matter was beyond his expectation. He originally wanted to solve it privately, but he had to make it clear, "Our Jingjing has nothing to do with Qian Hongzhuo. What kind of love is mutual? Bullshit!"

What kind of bad guy is this? He just wants to ruin his niece's reputation! He said this in front of Wang Qiang. Not only does he want to ruin Jingjing's reputation, he also wants to create a rift between Wang Qiang and himself. After all, the affairs of these three young people involve both families.

"Dad, this has nothing to do with Hong Zhuo. It was that bitch Qian Jingjing who seduced him! That must be it!"

Wang Qiang's emotions, which had just been calmed down by Song Zhaokang, were instantly ignited again, "I think you are the one who is shameless! Didn't you hear what Qian Hongzhuo said? He doesn't like you!"

"No, they are all Qian Jingjing!"

"Shut up!" Wang Qiang wanted to settle accounts with Qian Hongzhuo, but he was so angry at this young lady who was blinded by greed.

Wang Jin had tears on his face. He was frightened by his father's thunderous roar. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything. He just sobbed a few times, feeling unwilling.

"Uncle Wang." Seeing that the family had calmed down a little, Qian Jingjing stood up to speak for herself. She didn't want to be dragged into this by Qian Hongzhuo. "Qian Hongzhuo is indeed a big problem. He is in love with Comrade Wang Jin and he even wrote me a letter saying some offensive and vulgar things. I didn't want to pay attention to him. The letters are all here. You can take a look. As for Wang Jin..."

Qian Jingjing looked at Wang Jin who was sobbing and choking, and said in a stern voice, "Comrade Wang Jin, your partner is not a good person at all. I don't like him. You'd better wake up. But this is your business, I can't interfere. But if you ruin my reputation, I won't tolerate it. You have to go to the army and the Revolutionary Committee to explain it to me!"

Wang Qiang read the letters that Qian Hongzhuo had recently written to Qian Jingjing. The first few letters were fine and seemed to have no major problems, but the later ones became more and more explicit. It was as if he didn't take the fact that he had a partner seriously at the moment.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. This is what your target did outside! And you're still protecting him!"

Wang Jin didn't want to see or hear anything. She stared at Qian Hongzhuo, "Hongzhuo, tell me, she seduced you. I will believe it if you tell me!"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Qian Hongzhuo stopped pretending, "Xiao Jin, I am sorry for you. Jingjing and I like each other, please help us!"

"I don't believe it!"

As an outsider, Jian Lu felt so jealous listening to these sad literary quotes. Have these two people ever considered Qian Jingjing's feelings?

"Qian Hongzhuo, don't try to rely on me. I have nothing to do with you. If you continue to spread rumors about me, you will only ruin my reputation..."

"Jingjing, don't be angry with me. Do you dare to say that you don't like me? We wrote to each other, met each other, and even took walks under the coconut trees together. I even said I would pick the moon from the sky for you... Have you forgotten all that?"

Qian Hongzhuo talked about the things they had talked about when they met. He was determined to ruin Qian Jingjing's reputation and drag it onto himself. As long as he insisted that they were dating, people outside would only believe such things. After all, the more news about a man and a woman's relationship, the more people would gossip about it.

Even if the Qian family is dissatisfied, at most it will be regarded as a petty quarrel between young people, but as long as he marries Qian Jingjing, it is impossible for Qian's father not to help his only son-in-law.

"Commander Song, Deputy Commander Wang, I didn't tell a single lie. Before I started dating Xiaojin, I was dating Jingjing, as evidenced by our correspondence back then. Later, Jingjing and I separated due to a misunderstanding, and that's when I confirmed my relationship with Xiaojin. But relationships can't be forced. This is not a feudal society, and arranged marriages are not popular. I hope to be with Jingjing and become a lifelong revolutionary partner."

"Humph." Qian Jingjing sneered, not as panicked or scared as Qian Hongzhuo imagined, "Comrade Qian Hongzhuo."

She recalled that she had gone to see Qian Hongzhuo, and was satisfied that they had liked each other during those days of communication. However, they were both shy enough and never exposed that relationship. But Qian Hongzhuo was full of calculations.

He told himself that there was no evidence in the letters they exchanged to prove that they had any relationship other than pure revolutionary friendship. As for those words, they were all said in private and no one knew about them.

This is how Qian Hongzhuo planned for himself from the beginning. He had already planned to keep everything unknown so that he could climb up the ladder.

Now, Qian Jingjing looked at him. Seeing that he was a little bit wolfish at this moment, he had completely lost the trust of Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, who wanted to drag himself down like grabbing a life-saving straw. However, everything he had designed at the beginning would backfire on him.

"Qian Hongzhuo, you said we were in a relationship without any evidence? This is a rumor and slander! If everyone is like you, wouldn't it be possible for any man to go to the street and pull a woman and say that the two of you are in a relationship, and then force her to marry him? If you ruin my reputation again, I will immediately go to the army and report the situation to your brigade commander and the head of the 625th unit!"

"You..." Qian Hongzhuo realized that Qian Jingjing had really changed. She looked at him with a cold look. "Jingjing, what's wrong with you?"

Qian Jingjing approached him and, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, she repeated to him the words he had given her. With a smile on her face, she said, "When did we say these things? Who can you prove it to? The letters we exchanged were very formal."

Qian Hongzhuo was stunned, and his body seemed to be exhausted. This sentence was too familiar. It was indeed what he had given to Qian Jingjing. Now she sent it back to him in the same way.

I was too cautious at the time, and really no one knew and no one could prove it.

Looking at Deputy Brigade Commander Wang beside him, and then at Qian Jingjing and Brigade Commander Song, he clenched his hands into fists, but felt something slipping through his fingertips and he couldn't catch anything.
