The moment Gu Zhiye sat down, he caught Chen Niannian's attention.
He was wearing a green shirt and had long fingers that tightly clasped the coarse porcelain bowl. The veins on the back of his hand were obvious. His sleeves were half rolled up to his forearms, and the undulating lines were full of power. A belt around his waist pulled his waistline inward. He had a strong waist and broad shoulders, completely different from Jin Chuan who had been in the laboratory for a long time.
The man was full of aggression. He only glanced at them, and Chen Niannian was so frightened that she dared not say anything. She could see that he was not an ordinary farmer.
The doubts about her identity made her dare not act rashly.
After experiencing that kind of thing at the Chen family, she was like a frightened bird, wishing she could shrink into Su Jianshan's armpit.
The actions of the two were really ambiguous, and Gu Zhiye raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Your friend?!"
This question is a bit difficult to answer. You can't just tell Gu Zhiye straight out that this is the Su Niannian you wanted to marry to take care of your old mother, right? Moreover, if Niannian knew Gu Zhiye's identity, there would probably be trouble. Although Su Jianshan was a bit stupid, his reason told him not to do anything that would harm Su Niannian.
So, he tentatively loosened the hands that were restraining Chen Niannian.
"She's just a distant relative. Well, you eat first. I'll see her off and then I'll be back."
Su Jianshan grabbed the other person's arm and pulled him out without saying a word.
Chen Niannian swallowed hard: "Brother——!"
The next second, her mouth was covered again.
The word "brother" made Gu Zhiye's eyelids tremble slightly. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Niannian, whose face was tanned dark red and whose hair was cut like it had been bitten by a dog.
The other party was dragged out by Su Jianshan.
Is this the New Year of Xiangyang Village? !
Gu Zhiye suddenly lost his appetite, he understood that Su Jianshan was trying to avoid suspicion, but there was no need, his young wife had already explained everything clearly on their wedding night, so these people and events from the past would not stir up any waves in his heart.
Similarly, what the Su family didn't know was that he went to Xiangyang Village that day to cancel the engagement because he didn't want to delay the Su family's daughter.
He went through wind and rain on the battlefield and even wrote a suicide note early on. But the moment he saw Su Niannian, he changed his mind. Whether it was selfishness or hypocrisy, all the unstable factors came from Su Niannian.
In Gu Zhiye's heart, she is always different from others.
…
"Who was that comrade just now?"
"My troop leader."
"Brother, you've made it big?! Are you in the army now? I heard that there are people from the Northwest Military Region stationed in Ningcheng. When did you come..." Chen Niannian never thought that fools have good luck. His stupid elder brother would actually be able to join the army one day.
If she had known about this relationship earlier, she should have used it when the Chen family was in trouble, and she would not be so penniless. Chen Niannian has always been an egoist. Upon seeing this, she immediately and affectionately took her brother's hand and begged him to take her to the Jin family.
Even though she is a fake sister, the feelings she has for me are real.
Su Jianshan had carried Chen Niannian around since she was a child. Even though he had no news of her since she left, he still felt close to her when he saw her again. Su Jianshan decisively put his brother-in-law in the state-owned restaurant behind him and sent him to the legendary Jin family with a great sense of responsibility. In fact, he also wanted to see what kind of person the man who was supposed to marry Su Niannian was. Of course, he did not say this little thought out loud.
The brother and sister walked one after the other.
The Jin family still has property in Ning County. Two days before Jin Chuan decided to come here, Jin's mother asked someone to clean the house. The courtyard with three entrances and two exits can accommodate two more families. Jin Chuan received his mother's instructions and waited at the gate early.
Seeing that figure, Chen Niannian's heart began to beat faster. She trotted over and asked excitedly, "Jin Chuan, are you waiting for me?"
She knew that Jin Chuan didn't like rustic people, so she changed her accent on purpose.
Jin Chuan was wearing a white coat and black-framed glasses. He looked like he had just returned from the laboratory. He pushed his glasses and smiled, "You can understand it this way."
The tone of the painting changed, and he bluntly rubbed salt into her wounds: "I heard that the Chen family was demoted? You are the only one left..."
Being stared at by his calm eyes, Chen Niannian felt a little frightened for some reason. She took two steps back and grabbed Su Jianshan's hand. "How could that be possible? Although my parents were demoted, my brother is still in the army. He was worried about me and sent me here to see him. Brother, this is Jin Chuan, my fiancé..."
Su Jianshan raised his chin and looked at the other person carefully.
Jin Chuan smiled and said, "Your brother? The battalion commander or the regiment commander..."
"..."
Su Jianshan puffed out his chest slightly, "I'm the one who scoops rice in the cafeteria..."
In his opinion, food is the most important thing for people, and his job is the most important one. As soon as he said this, he was pushed away by Chen Niannian. The latter was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She thought Su Jianshan had made some achievements in the army, but it turned out that he was just a clerk. It was embarrassing to say it out loud.
Chen Niannian changed his previous enthusiastic attitude and rolled his eyes: "Okay, Su Jianshan, you can go now. I can live well without your Su family taking care of me."
Su Jianshan widened his eyes and snorted, "Do you think I'm willing to come? This man is just average..."
Chen Niannian was so angry that he vomited blood: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! I don't want you to care!"
"I don't care. You're not my sister anyway..."
Su Jianshan left after commenting on them. Chen Niannian, who was left alone, wanted to dig a hole in the ground to crawl into it. What a mistake! She shouldn't have brought this stupid brother here. He hadn't changed at all. He would only cause trouble for her. Just those two sentences would definitely greatly reduce Jin Chuan's impression of her.
Chen Niannian said anxiously, "Jin Chuan, I didn't mean to lie to you."
"Comrade Chen Niannian, my mother has already explained your family's situation. Please come in first."
Chen Niannian's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, fell. As they entered the courtyard, the spaciousness and luxury of the courtyard once again refreshed Chen Niannian's cognition. In order to show her usefulness, she did not stop from the moment she entered the door. Even when Jin Chuan went to pour tea, she took the time to clean the eaves. When she raised her eyes, she saw the young man standing in the main room with an inexplicable expression, and the eyes hidden behind the glasses were a little strange.
Chen Niannian shrank his neck and said warmly, "I saw some dust on the ground, so I swept it clean."
Jin Chuan put the tea he was going to give her on the table and said with a smile: "Given the friendship between our two families, there is no need for you to be so reserved. Besides, your current behavior reminds me of someone..."
"Who is it?" There was surprise in Chen Niannian's voice.
Jin Chuan took a sip of water and said with a cold smile: "Auntie Zhang."
