Chapter 252 Sister Yue's words elevated Green Tea to a divine status!
She didn't say thank you, but simply pressed her cheek against his broad, warm back, feeling his steady heartbeat.
This man never says anything nice.
But he will give you everything.
The day we set off was a rare sunny day.
The entire Gu family mobilized to take Su Yue and the other two to the military region's makeshift airfield.
A silver-gray military transport plane was parked at the end of the runway, emitting a deep roar.
Grandpa and Grandma held Su Yue's hands, giving her countless instructions and advice, their eyes red with tears.
Zhang Huilan held Xiao Ningjing and kept stuffing apples and snacks into Chen Xinyue's hands.
The two adorable little ones seemed to sense the impending separation, babbling and reaching out their little hands, wanting their mother to hold them.
Su Yue kissed each of the children's cheeks before finally walking up to Gu Beichen.
He didn't say anything, but simply reached out and tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze.
Be careful in everything you do.
"rest assured."
Su Yue turned around and, with Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue, walked towards the transport plane that was about to take off without looking back.
The timidity and avoidance that she had shown when she first arrived at the Gu family were no longer visible on Chen Xinyue's face.
When Su Yue suggested taking her to the capital to broaden her horizons, the little girl's eyes lit up with an unprecedented brilliance.
"Sister, I will definitely work hard, and I will never hold you back!"
She stood tall, like a sapling striving to grow towards the sun.
Su Yue boarded the plane's gangway. At the cabin door, she stopped and turned around.
The sea breeze lifted her long hair, revealing her smooth forehead and her sharp, hawk-like eyes.
Her lover and her family stood in the morning light not far away, becoming her strongest support.
In July in Beijing, the autumn air is crisp and clear, with a high sky and light clouds.
A silver-gray military transport plane landed smoothly at the western suburbs airport, the huge gusts of air generated by the propellers making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
The gangway was lowered, and Su Yue, along with Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue, appeared at the cabin door carrying simple luggage.
Two black Volga sedans with special license plates were already parked on the airport tarmac. Gu Zhengfeng's old comrade-in-arms, now the deputy commander of the Beijing Garrison, was personally leading a group to wait for them. The Huo family's manager in Beijing also stood beside them, their attitude respectful.
This display of power drew the attention of several officials who disembarked on the same flight, who all wondered which important figure this was.
"Comrade Su Yue, you must be tired from your journey." The deputy commander smiled and stepped forward to shake hands.
Without much small talk, the group was taken directly to the military compound guesthouse, which has the highest security level.
Old Master Huo and Gu Zhengfeng's old subordinates and comrades-in-arms had already heard the news, and that afternoon, the guesthouse was bustling with people coming and going.
Su Yue, the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family and the pearl of the Huo family, who was known by name but never seen in person, instantly became the focus of the city's core power circle on the very first day she set foot on the land of the capital.
Almost at the same time, another green train from the Northwest, accompanied by a long whistle, slowly pulled into Beijing Railway Station.
Lin Wan'er lay on a makeshift stretcher and was carried out of the crowded carriage.
Her face was pale, and her leg, which was in a thick cast, was particularly noticeable.
On the platform, a well-dressed middle-aged woman, surrounded by several guards, quickly approached to greet them.
"Qin Zheng, this must be Comrade Wan'er?"
Qin Zheng nodded and introduced, "Mom, this is Comrade Lin Wan'er. We were able to get the news ahead of time thanks to her."
Qin's mother's gaze fell on Lin Wan'er, her eyes filled with just the right amount of heartache and gratitude. She leaned down and affectionately took Lin Wan'er's hand.
"Good boy, you've suffered. Quick, the car is ready, let's go straight to the hospital."
Lin Wan'er was admitted to the best military hospital in Beijing, the General Military Region Hospital, and stayed in a high-ranking cadre ward that ordinary cadres would fight tooth and nail to get into.
Qin's mother took meticulous care of her.
In the ward, Qin's mother sat by the bed, slowly peeling a big, red apple for Lin Wan'er, the peel forming a continuous line without any breaks.
"Wan'er, you've been in the countryside for so many years, your family must miss you very much, right? What do your parents do for a living?"
Lin Wan'er leaned against the pillow, revealing a simple and flattered expression.
"Auntie, I...I have no parents, I'm an orphan." She lowered her head, her voice carrying just the right amount of vulnerability.
Qin's mother paused for a moment while peeling the apple.
"What a pitiful child." She sighed, cut the peeled apple into small pieces, picked up a piece with a toothpick, and held it to Lin Wan'er's mouth. "From now on, treat this place as your own home. You and our Qin Zheng went through thick and thin together in the Northwest. Our Qin family will always remember this friendship."
Lin Wan'er quickly waved her hand, looking extremely apprehensive.
"Uncle, this is what I should do. Brother Qin is a good person, I would feel bad if I didn't help him."
The conversation was perfectly confidential.
Lin Wan'er perfectly portrayed the image of a simple, kind, and grateful rural girl.
Qin's mother always wore a gentle smile, but a deep thought, unnoticed by anyone, flashed in her shrewd eyes.
The day after Su Yue arrived in Beijing, Old Master Huo hosted a small welcome banquet for her at the Beijing Hotel.
Although it was a small gathering, everyone present was a highly influential figure in the military and political circles.
Inside the banquet hall, elegantly dressed women mingled, and glasses clinked in a lively atmosphere.
Su Yue, dressed in a simple white dress and without any makeup, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
That composure and elegance that emanates from within is extremely rare among women of this era.
She followed Old Master Huo, talking with one powerful figure after another whose every move would shake the capital.
"Mr. Huo, your granddaughter is quite remarkable!" a gray-haired general exclaimed. "Hearing her analyze the situation in Southeast Asia just now, her logic was clear and her insights were unique. She has even more foresight than those top students in our General Staff!"
Another leader from the Ministry of Health nodded repeatedly.
"More than that! I chatted with her about the technical issues of penicillin purification, and the several improvement plans she proposed were simply unheard of, yet theoretically entirely feasible! If this can be realized, our country's medical level can advance by at least ten years!"
Exclamations of praise rose and fell.
The way everyone present looked at Su Yue changed from initial curiosity to genuine appreciation and respect.
This young girl is definitely not just a pretty face relying on her family background.
Halfway through the banquet, the banquet hall doors were suddenly pushed open.
Qin Zheng, accompanied by his mother, arrived uninvited.
With a warm smile on her face, Qin's mother greeted acquaintances along the way, heading straight for Su Yue and Old Master Huo.
Her purpose was clear: to "recognize people".
She wanted to see for herself just who this granddaughter-in-law, who was so pampered by the Gu and Huo families, really was.
"Old Master Huo, you're really biased! Such a joyous occasion, and you didn't even tell me!" Qin's mother's voice preceded her arrival.
