"Apologize? Apologize for what?"
Director Shen is a retired military cadre and the second-in-command of the county public security bureau. He is friends with Captain Zhao and others. When Captain Zhao brought people in, it was natural for him to accompany them.
After Captain Zhao finished asking questions, he noticed the embarrassed smiles on Director Shen and his wife's faces, as well as the unhappy expressions of the young man who came in with them. He knew that there must be something hidden.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I have to go back. Old Shen, please sit here for a while, I'll be back soon." Captain Zhao immediately found an excuse for himself and left.
He better not know Gu Ye’s secret!
"Director Shen, Aunt He, Comrade He Jingxuan, have some water!" Jiang Yue took out the enamel cups used to entertain guests at home and poured a glass of boiled water for each of the three people. She didn't dare to look up at He Jingxuan and Aunt He.
Even though Jiang Yue was a modern person and was used to seeing couples kissing each other on the street, it was the 1970s and the times were so conservative that she had to adapt to local customs. It was still awkward to kiss with so many people watching.
"Thank you!" He Jingxuan raised his thin eyelids, glanced at Jiang Yue, and thanked her in a low voice.
Jiang Yue had just finished taking a shower and changed into her own designed home clothes, which were loose and casual. Her long hair was casually tied into a bun, making her look youthful and beautiful.
She sat next to Gu Ye, her face and lips red, like a little wife.
He Jingxuan saw Jiang Yue and Gu Ye kissing each other, and he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment.
"Actually, Director Shen, you don't have to make this trip!" Gu Ye watched Captain Zhao leave and helped him close the door of the yard. His deep eyes like a cold pond narrowed, and then he retracted his gaze, passing over Director Shen and Aunt He, and finally fell heavily on He Jingxuan.
"Such a big mistake happened yesterday, how can we not come! I will hold a banquet to apologize to you and your wife another day!" Director Shen waved his hand, paused for a moment, and then continued awkwardly: "Actually, we came from Qingshui Town!"
When Director Shen mentioned Qingshui Town, he glanced at his wife and nephew out of the corner of his eye.
As soon as Aunt He entered the yard, she was attracted by the osmanthus tree. She kept looking at it with envy on her face.
After hearing what Director Shen said, she adjusted her hair and said a little embarrassedly: "Captain Gu, we have to come this time! We were wrong about what happened yesterday! Oh, it's my fault for not finding out clearly, and it's also my fault for being too coincidental!"
Hearing Aunt He talking about coincidence, Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is too coincidental?"
Gu Ye also looked at Aunt He.
He Jingxuan lowered his head, staring at the cup that Jiang Yue had just put down on the stone table, distracted.
"You won't believe me if I tell you!" Aunt He took a sip of water from the cup, then asked Jiang Yue: "Jiang Yue, first tell me what the Jiang in your surname is, and what the Yue in your surname is?"
"My name is Jiang, which means ginger, and Yue, which means pleasure." Jiang Yue said, and then asked in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with my name?"
Aunt He slapped her thigh, sighed and said, "There's nothing wrong with your name. This is all my fault! I just heard you say your name that day, but I didn't ask you which two characters were specific. I heard you say your family is in Qingshui Town, and I happened to have an acquaintance, so I asked that person to inquire about it. The result, hey! Guess what happened?"
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw Aunt He was still keeping the secret. She glanced sideways at Gu Ye, and Gu Ye was also looking at her. Their eyes met and they became entangled in an instant. It seemed as if sparks flashed in the air.
Jiang Yue pursed her lips, and a sweet feeling suddenly arose in her heart. At this moment, she realized that she was in love.
He Jingxuan knew how he felt when he saw Jiang Yue and Gu Ye kissing, sour!
"Is there someone named Jiang Yue in Qingshui Town?" Gu Ye asked.
Although Gu Ye was very annoyed yesterday, he knew that, firstly, Jiang Yue would not really go on a blind date now, and secondly, if Director Shen's family found out that Jiang Yue was his, Gu Ye's, wife, they would not arrange a blind date for He Jingxuan and Jiang Yue. The only possibility was that there was a misunderstanding.
It now seems that the information provided by Jiang Yue was misleading, coupled with some coincidences, which led to the situation yesterday.
"That's it! Isn't it a coincidence? There really is a girl with this name in Qingshui Town!" Aunt He's thighs were almost swollen from slapping her legs.
"That girl is also called Jiang Yue?" Jiang Yue was also shocked when she heard this. Is it such a coincidence?
"It's Jiang Yue, but not your Jiang Yue. It's the Jiang of the Yangtze River and the Yue of the moon! The pronunciation is the same, but the characters are different!" Aunt He was extremely depressed. "Isn't it a coincidence? Didn't you say there are three people in your family? This family is a family of three, and the girl is the only daughter in the family!"
Jiang Yue curled her lips: "...What a coincidence!" But the family of three she was talking about was Gu Ye, her and Ning Ning.
Gu Ye glanced at Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue's face froze and she quickly put away her smile.
"And the most coincidental thing is that Miss Jiang is usually accompanied by a little girl of three or four years old. She is from her cousin's family. When her cousin's uncle and aunt go to work, she helps take care of the little cousin." Director Shen added.
This again came into conflict with Jiang Yue and Ning Ning. No wonder his wife would make such a big mistake. Who could have thought it would be such a coincidence! When he heard so many coincidences, he lost all his temper.
"So that's how it is!" Jiang Yue suddenly realized. No wonder Aunt He and He Jingxuan were not surprised at all when they saw Ningning calling Gu Ye dad yesterday. He Jingxuan even kept calling Gu Ye cousin. It turned out that so many coincidences came together.
Director Shen and Aunt He both apologized sincerely.
He Jingxuan didn't say a word the whole time. When Aunt He pushed him, he looked up and said to Jiang Yue, "I'm sorry, Comrade Jiang Yue! I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
"It's good to talk it out now. It's not a big deal!" Gu Ye said politely.
But when Jiang Yue heard Gu Ye say that it was not a big deal, she inexplicably felt murderous.
It would be strange if Gu Ye could remain calm when his wife was almost taken away by someone!
Jiang Yue originally wanted to chat with He Jingxuan, but now it was not easy to start, so she could only smile at He Jingxuan.
When He Jingxuan saw Jiang Yue smiling at him, his eyes were shocked.
"This Sunday, please give me some face, Captain Gu and his wife. I will host a toast to apologize to you and your wife!" Director Shen stood up and said.
"There's no need for that. It was just a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly!" Gu Ye also stood up.
"You must come! Otherwise, I will lose face!" Director Shen insisted.
"Okay then!" Since Director Shen said so, Gu Ye agreed.
As for whether to go or not, we’ll talk about it when the time comes!
After seeing Director Shen and the other two off, Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye staring at her and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"How did you and He Jingxuan know each other?"
"Oh, we met at the gate of the government staff quarters a few days ago." Jiang Yue said and tried to slip away, but Gu Ye grabbed her collar from behind and pulled her back.
