During his leave, He Yan had no soldiers or subordinates accompanying him. Now that his leg was injured, traveling was a major problem. It was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead. He Yan was so angry at the thought of land battles that he felt like he had been kicked in the head by a donkey. How could he have believed this guy's nonsense?
For two days in a row, he stayed at home to rest and did not go out. He missed his child and Xiaohua so much that he couldn't eat or sleep. Now he truly understands what it means to miss someone for a day.
The thought that the culprit, Lu Zhan, was still at large made him even angrier.
He Yan thought for a moment, then made a phone call asking Station Lu to pick him up every morning, take him to Xiao Hua's house, and then take him back from Xiao Hua's house every evening.
Although Lu Zhan was very busy every day, the thought of picking up He Yan every day and being able to see his good buddy's funny antics made him feel excited, and he immediately agreed.
He said that He Yan's leg injury was largely due to him, and he was largely to blame; he should have been He Yan's driver for free.
He Yan replied, "That's more like it," and then hung up the phone.
He Ya overheard He Yan's phone call and learned that Lu Zhan would come to pick He Yan up early the next morning. So she decided to get up early the next morning and dress herself up properly. In the afternoon, she took Su Qin out and planned to buy herself a few new outfits.
Su Qin was, after all, her own mother. How could a mother not know the tricks her daughter was up to?
But she could also see that Lu Zhan had absolutely no feelings for He Ya; her daughter's feelings were completely one-sided.
Su Qin feared that He Ya would get more and more involved, and in the end, she would be the only one to get hurt.
She wanted her to give up, mainly because the two of them didn't seem to be a good match. Lu Zhan was a few years younger than He Ya, and it's best for a woman to find a man who is older than herself, rather than a woman who is younger than herself, since women age faster anyway.
"Xiaoya, tell Mom the truth, do you have a crush on Lu Zhan?"
After Su Qin asked, she saw He Ya looking shy.
"Oh my god, what are you saying?"
Su Qin knew that she must have taken a liking to Lu Zhan.
"Xiaoya, you and Lu Zhan are not a good match," Su Qin advised earnestly.
He Ya immediately became unhappy and questioned Su Qin: "How is Lu Zhan and I not suitable? What's wrong with us? We're a perfect match, both in terms of social standing and looks. I think we're a perfect couple."
He Yan skipped downstairs to get a drink of water, but when he heard He Ya say that the man and woman were a perfect match, he choked on his water and coughed violently.
He Ya turned around and looked at He Yan angrily: "What, do you think I'm not suitable for Lu Zhan, just like Mom?"
He Yan had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs, even if it was his own sister and his good friend. He couldn't be bothered to care. Thinking about his injured leg, he felt resentful towards Lu Zhan.
He said insincerely and perfunctorily, "Perfect match, perfect match. You two are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and you're a perfect match in every way."
As He Yan spoke, he limped upstairs, thinking of Lu Zhan. He had actually been chosen by He Ya; he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for that kid, but he figured it was probably a curse.
“Look, even He Yan thinks Lu Zhan and I are a good match. He and Lu Zhan are best buddies who grew up together and can talk about anything. He must know Lu Zhan very well. When he said that Lu Zhan and I are a good match, it must mean that Lu Zhan has also expressed to him that Lu Zhan is interested in me.”
Su Qin couldn't understand how someone as smart and beautiful as herself could have given birth to such a stupid girl as He Ya.
“Your brother was obviously just brushing you off. Xiaoya, listen to your mother’s advice. You should give up on Lu Zhan. The son of Chief of Staff Qin, who works under your father, is a year older than you. The girl he was set up with passed away from a serious illness. Your father is trying to match you with Chief of Staff Qin’s son. I’ve seen his picture. He looks honest and kind. He’s a good match for you.”
"That guy with small eyes, glasses, dark skin, and a square face, how is he a match for me? Mom, are you really going to ruin your own daughter like this? You can't control He Yan now, so you want to interfere in my marriage? Since you can't control He Yan, you have no right to control me. I'm going to buy my own clothes, I don't want to be with you anymore."
He Ya stormed out in a huff.
Su Qin slapped her thigh in anger: "What a disaster! How could I have given birth to these two disobedient siblings?"
When Su Qin entered He Yan's bedroom, He Yan was reading a book. When he saw Su Qin come in without knocking, he frowned and was clearly displeased: "Mom, why did you come into my room without knocking again?"
"Do I need to knock before entering my own son's room?" Su Qin was getting angrier the more she looked at him. The old saying was absolutely true: "He forgets his mother after marrying a wife." This wife hadn't even entered her home yet, and he had already completely forgotten about his mother. She wondered how many unpleasant things her good son had said to her because of this Ye Xiaohua.
"It's a matter of basic manners. You're always looking down on this and that, thinking that others are vulgar, uncultured, and not presentable enough for a refined occasion. But what about you? You don't even knock before entering someone's room."
He Yan launched into another scathing attack without holding back.
He Ya was so angry her heart ached. She clutched her heart and pointed at He Yan, her finger trembling as she cried out, "You...you...are you going to drive your old mother to her death before you're satisfied?!"
He Yan smiled sarcastically: "I didn't intentionally make you angry. You're the one who likes to get angry. You're just looking for trouble where you don't have any."
"Are you saying that your mother is just looking for trouble?" Su Qin was really angry, and tears were about to well up in her eyes because of her good son.
