Today, the largest restaurant in Longcheng had a display outside to celebrate Gao Mengxiang's first birthday. Liu Qiao brought Chen Yun over. It's October now, so light clothes are enough in Longcheng. Liu Qiao wore a denim suit today, with the jacket draped over his forearms. He looked a bit lazy, unlike his usual upright posture in military uniform. Many people looked at him when he got off the car.

Soon, another girl in a lotus pink long-sleeved dress came down and took his arm. The passers-by immediately felt that everything was perfect. After all, the girl holding his arm was a pretty and gentle girl, and they were very affectionate. Everyone felt that they were a perfect match, so there was no such thing as a good man cannot have a good wife.

Chen Yun and her friends came here in Zhang Han's car. Zhang Han specifically wanted to give them a ride here, which Xu Lijie and Chen Dafen felt was a bit unfair.

Why? Chen Dafen would not say anything, but Xu Lijie always followed Zhang Han's lead in life and in public, and yet Zhang Han still valued Liu Qiao and his wife more. She wondered if Liu Qiao had given them some generous gifts without their knowledge, otherwise why were Liu Qiao and Chen Yun so favored by her.

There is no love without reason or hatred in this world...

For Zhang Han, it was not only because Liu Qiao valued her, but he also never tried to curry favor with her. People say that when you show courtesy to someone, you must ask for something. Xu Lijie was nice to her only because of her title. If she was not the head of the group's wife, Xu Lijie would not be so nice to her.

Now that she can be put first in everything, she may not be without complaints in her heart. She doesn't know how Xu Lijie will treat her when she gets promoted. She is not as good as Chen Yun. Chen Yun's family is also a famous entrepreneur in Jiangcheng. She doesn't have any big ambitions. She is a girl who is suitable for family and family. She will never be like that.

Speaking of Liu Qiao, he is indeed a character. Their Fifth Battalion is a new battalion, but under Liu Qiao's leadership, there are many talented people. They always win first place in singing, dancing, combat and martial arts competitions. The gap between them and the other battalions is getting bigger and bigger.

The former regiment commander also valued Gao Guobin, but everyone knew about their family's relationship with the deputy regiment commander. Whether it was true or not, it would have a bad impact if he was mentioned at this time. The commander of the first battalion had just taken office and was not very good yet. The commander of the second battalion, Hu Yongbing, was not bad, but he had limited education and diploma, and was still a little behind in modern things. The commander of the third battalion was always mediocre. The husband of Xu Lijie of the fourth battalion looked good, but his physical fitness was not as good as Liu Qiao's.

Liu Qiao is the one who dares to take his comrades for winter swimming and training when it snows, and he comes back full of energy. In terms of overall strength, Liu Qiao is still the strongest.

Entering the restaurant lobby, Gao Guobin's father, Secretary Gao, rushed over from his hometown. This secretary had dark skin, but acted in a magnanimous manner, unlike Gao's mother.

He would first offer cigarettes to everyone he met and then start a conversation. Liu Qiao pulled Chen Yun over, exchanged a few words with Secretary Gao, and then went down to sit down.

"Honey, I'm a little thirsty."

Liu Qiao quickly poured her some tea: "Drink some to moisten your throat. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Zhang Han and Zhao Huimei were both pregnant, so they sat very carefully, not daring to make any big movements. Zhao Huimei saw that Feng Yu hadn't come, so she asked hurriedly, "Didn't your mother-in-law come?"

"Take care of Zirui at home. We have guests tomorrow. My mother has to prepare some food while Zirui is sleeping. You are all pregnant women, and there are many forbidden dishes. My mother-in-law will cook a few dishes that you can eat. I will also go back to prepare after the banquet, so I will trouble my husband to take care of the child." Chen Yun said with a smile.

Zhang Hanhan smiled: "Yunyun, you can't be too pampering to Liu Qiao. Men can't be spoiled by being pampered."

Chen Yun shook her head: "No, actually he is very nice to me."

But no one thought so. After all, Chen Yun's reputation for diligence had already been spread by Liu Qiao.

Zhu Xiaofang came over holding Gao Mengxiang. The child was still very cute. Everyone rushed to tease him, and Zhu Xiaofang was also in high spirits. The restaurant had a lot of dishes. First, they served cold beef and cold noodles, then offal and main dishes, and in between, there were desserts and fruits. Zhu Xiaofang and Gao Guobin toasted at every table, which reminded Chen Yun of the time when she and Liu Qiao got married.

"Brother Liu Qiao, do you remember when we got married, we toasted each table like this?"

Liu Qiao certainly remembered it. He said, "The shoes you were wearing at the time were very uncomfortable. I just wanted to finish the wine quickly."

After Zhu Xiaofang toasted Liu Qiao and his table, she looked back at Chen Yun talking to Liu Qiao and felt that she had no respect for her at all, but after thinking about it, she understood. After all, they were just hosting the party at home, but she was in the spotlight. She was hosting the party at a hotel, so isn't that a difference?

Zhu Xiaofang has many friends, including one from the Shanghai Opera Troupe. Her colleagues and bosses all went on stage to give speeches, and everyone was envious. Who wouldn’t want to be the center of attention at such an event?

"Look, Xiao Zhu is really popular." Zhang Han sighed.

Although Zhu Xiaofang didn't get along well with her husband's family, she had a wide network of contacts outside. Even a secretary from Longcheng came, but Liu Qiao didn't go forward.

He also told Chen Yun: "Don't get too close to Zhu Xiaofang. Her current success is only temporary. I think she is a little too eager for quick success."

It is true that he really does not like Zhu Xiaofang. He is most afraid that Zhu Xiaofang will bring bad influence to Chen Yun. Some of her ideas sometimes make people feel that there is no difference between men and women, and she is only concerned with success. His Yunyun is so simple. If she has such an idea, what should he do?

Chen Yunan thought to himself: "No, I don't like people surrounding me. I wish no one could see me."

She is indeed such a person. She doesn't like to worry about things. She likes to have fun alone. She feels very comfortable when the family chats at home, watches TV and talks for a while. However, Zhu Xiaofang is so dazzling. This is also her choice. Chen Yun thinks it is understandable. This is everyone's own choice.

Moreover, the reason why Liu Qiao disliked Zhu Xiaofang was simply because he thought she was a little too open, which was unacceptable for someone like him who was a bit patriarchal.

Liu Qiao and his friends came out after having a meal. Chen Yun also wanted to go to the street with him to buy some food. Chen Yun counted on her fingers: "They have lamb legs at home, we want to buy roast chicken, and they have pig's trotters at home. I see they have some snacks today, let's buy some chocolate, and we also need to buy some fruit."

"I'll follow your instructions, little housekeeper." Liu Qiao looked at her with a smile.

Chen Yun was still a little dissatisfied: "Our two families held their weddings just one day apart, and they did such a great job today. If we had done a simple one, the difference would really be too big, right?"
