After his silly wife Chen Yun sent the child to kindergarten, Liu Qiao called Jiang Zhihui. He also knew his wife's concerns. After all, Jiang Zhihui was his childhood friend, and Zhu Xiaofang was now relying on Jiang Zhihui's power. That's why Chen Yun did not retaliate immediately after being harmed by Zhu Xiaofang. She told him about this, and Liu Qiao naturally could not tolerate it.
"Zhihui, I'm Liu Qiao. My legs have been hurting lately. Bring some food back so we can chat."
He had been dealing with Jiang Zhihui for a long time, and the reason why his business developed so smoothly with Jiangcheng as its base was also due to Liu Zhiguo's care.

After sending her son to school, Chen Yun packed her bag and quickly took the bus to the store. She arrived early today. Before the door opened, she saw Zhu Xiaofang waiting for her at the door.
Chen Yun felt a little strange, but Zhu Xiaofang smiled ingratiatingly, "Chen Yun, I have something to tell you?"
"What's the matter?" She didn't want to say more to her.
Zhu Xiaofang followed her in and apologized, "Chen Yun, I'm sorry. I was actually so confused about Gu Tingyun's matter that I made such a stupid move. I wanted to come and apologize to you a few days ago, but I was on a business trip recently, so I didn't have time."
Chen Yun doesn't seem to be a talker. She may hold grudges, but she won't show it too much on her face.
"Apologize? I just want to ask what your motive is for doing that?" Chen Yun didn't quite understand.
Zhu Xiaofang started crying. She felt that a real man should be able to bend and stretch. Gao Guobin was not chosen by her, but by her original self. Gao Guobin was not suitable for her. She had the right to choose someone who was good for her. Chen Yun and Liu Qiao knew her background very well. She had to be on guard. Gu Tingyan was here a few days ago and it was inconvenient for her to come. Today, she got up early and waited for Chen Yun here.
"Chen Yun, I have no choice. Don't look at how nice I am now. I am actually very poor. I borrowed a lot of money from others for the divorce and now I am in debt. I have to pay it back. We are all women. If you were sold to someone else at a high price and treated like an object, what would you do?"
Chen Yun smiled, seeming to mock her: "No matter how bad your life is, you can't hurt others, right? Actually, Liu Qiao and I won't say anything about it. After all, you are just my girlfriend now, and outsiders can't interfere in the affairs of boyfriends and girlfriends. But you have been targeting us before it even started, and you have come up with some bad tricks, which is disgusting."
"So I know I was wrong, and I'm here to apologize to you, right?" Zhu Xiaofang felt that everyone makes mistakes, and she just admitted her mistake this time.
Seeing her high-sounding look, Chen Yun was too lazy to say more to her: "You're leaving soon, I can't afford your apology." Since she had handed the matter over to her husband, she shouldn't dirty her hands by dealing with such a person.
He is arrogant at first but respectful later, always judging others based on his own ideas. He is a real villain.
Zhu Xiaofang lingered for a few more seconds, and when she saw that Chen Yun's expression didn't change, she left in a huff. She felt that people like Chen Yun were scarier than those who cried. They kept silent but would never forgive you. It was as if they were lurking at any time, waiting for you to fail, and then they would come up and step on you and trample you into the mud.
After she left, Gu Tingyan came over. Chen Yun didn't mention this in front of her. No matter how good their relationship was, they were just friends. There were some things she could only tell her husband.
"Tingyun, I have cooked the chicken porridge. Some people should come to drink it at noon. You can stew the eggs." Chen Yun instructed her to do something.
Gu Tingxian washed the eggs without even taking a nap and then cooked them in the rice cooker. After she finished this, she basically wiped the shelves and there was nothing else to do.
Chen Yun took out her English book and started to study by herself. Gu Tingyan told Chen Yun about her plan, "Sister Yun, I don't plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. This time I got a chance to intern at the National Television Station. If possible, I would like to try it out there."
She is very smart, and this time she is paid by Chen Yun. After receiving the salary, she can dress herself up better. As a result, she has obtained a lot of resources to enter the national television station for internship. Although it is just an internship, if she does well, she may be able to become a full-time employee.
Chen Yun was of course very supportive when this was mentioned: "It's okay, you can go for the internship, and then you can eat or stay at my house. Don't go out and rent a house, it's a waste of money."
Gu Tingyan knew that Chen Yun was sincere in what she said. She also knew that although the house Chen Yun lived in was large, it was in a military area. People were being polite, so you shouldn’t take it for granted. She firmly declined, “My brother-in-law’s leg is injured again. Sister Yun, you’ve already had a hard time. I won’t bother you. You can just live in the school.”
Seeing her say this, Chen Yun advised, "I think you can't just throw everything at the door. Nowadays, companies are paying more and more attention to academic qualifications. In fact, it's also good to take the postgraduate entrance examination. If you take the examination for this school, you can come to my place when you have time. I will still pay you. If you go there for internship now, you will be easily squeezed out when the time comes if you don't have a solid foundation."
Sometimes it’s not that you are not good enough, but that there are too many people who are better than you.
"Luckily, Sister Yun is here, otherwise I would be easily overwhelmed by all this."
Chen Yun smiled and said nothing. After Gu Tingyun went for internship, she was not selected. Fortunately, she passed the postgraduate entrance examination. These are all stories for later.
Besides, when Chen Yun came home at night, there was wine on the table. She was afraid that her husband had drunk it secretly, so she hurried into the room to ask. Liu Qiao didn't even blush, but looked energetic. He saw Chen Yun come in and looked at her with a smile.
"Yunyun is back."
"Yeah, don't tell me, today Zhu Xiaofang went to admit her mistakes, she really treated others as fools." After Chen Yun finished speaking, she sniffed him again: "Husband, you didn't drink today?"
Liu Qiao said with a guilty conscience: "Who is your husband? He listens to Yunyun the most. Of course he won't drink." In fact, he asked Jiang Zhihui to come today, so of course he had a few drinks. He couldn't tell Chen Yun about this. Chen Yun used to be so well-behaved, but now she always shows her displeasure to him. He is very afraid of her.
"Hehe, it's good that you didn't drink." Chen Yun pouted and threatened him.
Liu Qiao saw that she was as cute as she could be. He excitedly changed the subject in an independent way and asked to cook. But there was no way Chen Yun would really let him cook.
"No need, I'll cook for you today." Although she said this with a stern face, Liu Qiao thought it was because she felt sorry for him.
Chen Yun quickly cooked a braised chicken leg and a stir-fried cabbage and served them on the table. The two men, one big and one small, came over after smelling the aroma. Chen Yun picked up a chicken leg for each of them. Zi Rui came over to kiss his mother, "Mom, the chicken legs you and your son made are amazing."
The older this child gets, the more he looks like his father. His mouth is as sweet as honey. Chen Yun smiled and said, "Then eat quickly. Eat both the meat and the vegetables."
The baby's father slapped his head and said, "This child has stolen my words."
Chen Yun hit her husband and said, "Well, the younger generation will always push the older generation forward."
Liu Qiao nodded: "No, that's the disciple surpassing the master." He looked at his son and felt proud, and then looked at his wife and felt happy again.
After Chen Yun cleared the dishes and gave the child a bath and put him to bed, Liu Qiao told Chen Yun about Zhu Xiaofang: "I told Zhihui about Zhu Xiaofang's thoughts and revealed all her secrets." He actually used Zhu Xiaofang's ungratefulness as a starting point to make Jiang Zhihui alert, because things like her second marriage would not affect Jiang Zhihui's feelings at all. He was originally just Zhu Xiaofang's boyfriend, and Zhu Xiaofang can still do business with him and make plans with his company. Liu Qiao could not give her such help.
Businessmen talk business, but once Jiang Zhihui knows her background, things will be different. She will be more wary of Zhu Xiaofang in the future, and her fate may not be good.
"That's good. She seems to be very smart, but she is too impatient." Chen Yun sighed. In fact, Zhu Xiaofang is smart. She is good-looking. If she had been with Gao Guobin and become a good wife, she would have lived a happy life. But now she is getting divorced and hiding it. This puts her at a disadvantage.
With such a handle in someone else's hands, I don't know how fearful she must have been. It would have been fine if she had been honest, but she kept hiding it. She will suffer in the future.
Liu Qiao patted the bed and said, "Go to sleep. She will suffer in the future. Don't think that others yelling at her is revenge against her. That's too stupid."
**
It was another weekend, and Chen Yun asked Tian Ling to come over to her house. Tian Ling didn't want to go at first, but Chen Yun's words hinted at her introducing her to a deputy battalion commander of their regiment, Liu Qiao. This man was a handsome man, especially with a nice voice. His family conditions were also good, as his parents were both workers and he had no burden.
Tian Ling herself is an orphan. Although she is raised by Mr. and Mrs. Tian, she is not very close to them. Moreover, she has always had a good impression of Chen Yun. Chen Yun would give her things from time to time, and she trusts her very much.
This deputy battalion commander is also a celebrity. Many people got to know him because of his performance as a saxophone player. It can be said that his character is obvious to all.
"Come on, Tian Ling, sit down first and have some apples."
Chen Yun was a matchmaker for the first time, so she was a little nervous. The woman came over. The man's surname was Xu. In Chen Yun's eyes, he was a little bit inferior to Liu Qiao, but he was multi-talented and capable. At first glance, this deputy battalion commander Xu was very capable.
"Xiao Xu, this is Tian Ling, a nurse from the military hospital. Tian Ling is not only highly skilled, but also gentle and patient. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about her." Chen Yun praised Tian Ling vigorously.
Deputy Battalion Commander Xu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is right."
Liu Qiao said: "Xiaotian, this is our deputy battalion commander Xu. He is a deputy battalion commander at a young age, knowledgeable and talented, and has a wide range of interests. Let me tell you about his heroic deeds..."
After Liu Qiao finished talking for a long time, Chen Yun brought the dumpling wrappers and fillings to everyone to make dumplings. Northerners, if not everyone, at least most of them can make dumplings. Especially a diligent girl like Tian Ling, who is very efficient and makes big and beautiful dumplings.
Chen Yun also took the opportunity to compliment her on some small details: "Hey, Tian Ling, this sweater you are wearing is very beautiful? Where did you buy it?"
"Sister Yun, I hit it myself." Tian Ling said with a smile.
Chen Yun praised: "It's really beautiful. You can't tell that you knitted it yourself. Your knitting is even more beautiful than the ones sold."
Tian Ling explained in a soft voice how to weave the pattern. Of course, the men didn't understand it, but Deputy Battalion Commander Xu knew that this girl was smart and skillful. Originally, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu didn't believe the rumors about Tian Ling and Liu Qiao's affair, because he had visited Liu Qiao during that period, and he rarely let nurses in.
Besides, Liu Qiao is not that kind of person. He is a very self-disciplined and self-respecting person. Even if he really wants to find some excitement, he will never do anything that will give others a handle.
Deputy Battalion Commander Xu was born into an ordinary working-class family. He was an outstanding person, but his family conditions were average. If he could marry the commander's niece and establish this relationship, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his future.
The dumplings were cooked, and slowly Chen Yun let the two young people start communicating on their own. She and Liu Qiao just listened on the side and spoke when there was a lull in the conversation.
After eating some dumplings, everyone was full and satisfied. Chen Yun asked them to go for a walk in the nearby park. Deputy Battalion Commander Xu invited Tian Ling out in a gentlemanly manner.
While cleaning up the table, Chen Yun felt that Deputy Battalion Commander Xu looked a bit like someone.
"Do you think this Deputy Battalion Commander Xu looks a lot like you?"
Liu Qiao pointed at himself and asked, "Looks like me?"
Chen Yun nodded: "It's true. That's how you looked to me at the time. Everything about you was good, but it didn't seem to suit me."
"Do you think I'm too old?" Liu Qiao asked cautiously.
Chen Yun nodded: "Yes, I think you are very scheming and I am afraid of you."
Liu Qiao was unhappy: "How can I be scheming? I am just a little older than you, but I have no schemes against you."
"You haven't, so why did you pick me up when I went to work... and when I asked you what the adults were discussing, you joked with me, but in fact you knew what they were discussing." Chen Yun said and stuck out her tongue.
Perhaps Tian Ling's blind date with Deputy Battalion Commander Xu touched Chen Yun and Liu Qiao's heart. They also walked step by step like this at that time. Time flies really fast. Chen Yun doesn't remember many things in Longcheng very clearly, but she still remembers how she and Liu Qiao became a couple.
At that time, she had never thought that the son of the director of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Qiao, would be interested in a fat and clumsy girl like her. She even felt that the two of them were not from the same world.
Liu Qiao also fell into memories, and after a while he felt very sad: "I just helped you when you were going downstairs, and I felt itchy in my heart at that time. I didn't expect that we would really be together."
"Yes, after going through so much. No matter what, it would be a good thing if Tian Ling and Deputy Battalion Commander Xu were together." Chen Yun said, at least in this way, some of the romantic scandals surrounding Liu Qiao could be dispelled.
