Chapter 140 Are You Bad at Math?
Originally, it was thought that there would be no interaction between the two, but unexpectedly, a few days later, 'Yue Ling' was cornered at the alley entrance.
In a moment of panic, Yu Changqing rushed forward, only to cause a misunderstanding.
It turned out that the other person, like him, had also fallen in love with 'Yue Ling'.
However, the other person was bolder than him, and he confessed his feelings to 'Yue Ling' face to face.
He still remembers Yue Ling's answer: she said she didn't like idle street loafers!
She prefers gentle, refined men who love reading and have a scholarly air about them.
Before leaving, Yue Ling thanked him.
I am grateful for his courage in standing up for what is right.
Because of her statement that she liked reading and liked men with a scholarly air, Yu Changqing began to study diligently.
Strangely, after that day, 'Yue Ling' seemed to have disappeared.
She never came to the bookstore again.
Six months later, Yu Changqing responded to the call from above and joined the army, where he met Huo Zhendong.
The two hit it off immediately and quickly became like brothers.
Years later, by chance, the two of them met Yue Ling on the street.
Yu Changqing was very excited, but Yue Ling had long forgotten him.
Because he cared too much, he failed to express his feelings to Yue Ling immediately.
Unexpectedly, this gave Fok Chun-tung an opening.
When he saw Yue Ling again, she had become Huo Zhendong's wife.
Because of this, Yu Changqing held a grudge for more than 30 years.
So now you're telling him that all these years, he loved the wrong person?
How could Yu Changqing not break down!
"This is impossible! I don't believe it, she is clearly Yue Ling!"
Seeing her husband so distraught over another woman, it would be a lie to say Zhang Yaqin wasn't heartbroken.
But at their age, romantic love has become less important.
It's even less likely that they'd get a divorce over something so trivial.
Even if they wanted to divorce, the organization wouldn't allow it!
Besides, they're all grandparents now; they can't afford to lose face like that.
"Nothing is impossible."
Zhang Yaqin guessed, "The two sisters look so alike, wasn't it normal to use the same photo as ID photos back then?"
Zhang Yaqin's guess was absolutely correct.
From childhood to adulthood, Yue Ling has used her sister's photos for all her ID photos, except for group photos.
After all, the two people have the same face, so it's enough to print a couple more photos. Taking more photos would be a waste of money, wouldn't it?
Zhang Yaqin didn't care whether he would listen to what she was saying.
He said to himself, "I'm telling you all this in the hope that you'll stop being so stubborn."
"Before, because of Yue Ling, you couldn't bring yourself to be ruthless towards the Huo family."
"We've already come to this point. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children."
“Especially the second brother, he has been in the army for so many years and he is still only a battalion commander.”
"Look at the third son of the Huo family. He's the same age, and he's already a regimental commander!"
"If you fail to get elected again this time, our son and grandson will really have no future..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Changqing got up and walked out the door.
"Where are you going so late?" Zhang Yaqin reached out and grabbed him.
Without turning his head, Yu Changqing said, "I'm going to stay in the company dormitory for two days."
After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.
On the other side.
Because it gets dark early in winter, Jiang Si and her third uncle discussed it and decided to move the evening banquet to four o'clock in the afternoon.
There were a lot of people today, so we set up four tables in total.
At noon, everyone was so busy entertaining relatives and friends and toasting that they didn't really eat much.
Before evening, the two families drank heartily.
The conversation dragged on until it was quite late.
If it weren't for the fact that we had all made plans to go to the square to see the murals and to the Forbidden City to enjoy the snow tomorrow morning...
There's probably still a lot to talk about.
When the group returned to the compound, they happened to run into Yu Changqing at the gate.
Because Huo Erge and Huo Sidi were leading the way with flashlights, the two immediately saw the two bright handprints on each other's faces.
Brother Huo is also one to hold grudges, and he immediately let out a cry of "Ouch!"
Seeing this, Yu Changqing had no choice but to stop: "Uncle Huo."
As a junior, even though the relationship between the two families was practically broken at this point.
But as long as the old man is around, Yu Changqing still has to take the initiative to greet him when he sees him.
While greeting them, Yu Changqing subtly glanced at Huo's mother in the crowd.
That one glance conveyed so many emotions.
Even Jiang Si, who was standing to the side, noticed something was wrong.
What's going on?
That look in her eyes, it's like she's looking at a heartless man.
Jiang Si thought she was seeing things.
Just as she squinted, preparing to observe more closely, Yu Changqing suddenly looked over.
“Xiao Jiang, your aunt was in the wrong before. I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t hold it against her.”
After saying that, she looked at Huo Tingzhou, "Tingzhou, you and our Ah Heng graduated from the same flight school, so you can be considered alumni. Our Manli is number six..."
I'm sorry.
Jiang Si interrupted him directly, "I'm young, so what I say might not be very pleasant to hear. Just listen and don't take it to heart."
“I think if your wife really feels she did something wrong, she should be the one apologizing today.”
"Since she didn't come, it doesn't really matter whether I apologize or not."
"Also, we have to go back to Shanghai on the 5th, so we won't be able to attend your daughter's wedding."
Without looking at him after saying that, Jiang Si pulled Huo Tingzhou and walked back.
I'm exhausted from hosting the banquet today, who has time to listen to his nonsense?
When I got home, I took a hot bath.
By the time they lay down on the wedding bed covered with the words "May you have a son soon," it was already past ten o'clock at night.
Jiang Si was so sleepy that she didn't even want to open her eyes.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she felt someone lie down beside her, and she instinctively turned over.
Before she could speak, Huo Tingzhou gently patted her back, "Go to sleep, I won't bother you."
Jiang Si nodded. "Mm."
On their wedding night, which wasn't their actual wedding night, the two slept peacefully.
The car wasn't driven, but in her dream, Jiang Si transformed into an F1 race queen, speeding up to 180 mph.
Faced with a series of sharp turns ahead, Jiang Si remained calm and composed. She skillfully gripped the gearshift with her right hand, shifting gears cleanly and smoothly in one go.
We were almost at the finish line.
A muffled groan suddenly rang in my ears.
The next second, Jiang Si opened her eyes groggily.
After a moment of reflection, realizing what she had done, Jiang Si's face flushed red.
"Why...why didn't you take my hand away sooner?"
Huo Tingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "I thought... you liked that kind of thing..."
"I didn't..." Jiang Si reached out to cover his mouth, which was spouting nonsense.
But Huo Tingzhou moved even faster.
He gripped her wrist, his gaze fixed intently on her, "Si Si—"
With that look in her eyes and that tone of voice, it would be hard for Jiang Si not to understand.
"No, Mom and Dad are still here. What if they hear us?"
"I can't hear them, they left early this morning and won't be back by noon..."
Huo Tingzhou pressed his forehead against hers and coaxed gently, "Just once, okay?"
"Then...then hurry up."
"good……"
Huo Tingzhou agreed readily, but the actual situation was not like that.
An hour later, Jiang Si's speechless voice came from under the covers.
"Huo! Ting! Zhou!"
"Are you bad at math?! Can't you tell the difference between speed and time?!"
