Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Heart Joy
Ye Jinhong paused, turned around abruptly, and said to the short-haired woman standing behind the door, "Are you following me?"
The short-haired woman pulled her grey coat closer and said unhappily, "You haven't been back for a long time, so I waited for you at the door, and then I saw you coming back hand in hand with her. Who is she?"
She questioned Ye Jinhong again, yes, questioned!
It's not just a casual question.
She already regarded Ye Jinhong as her man, how could he hold another woman's hand?
Ye Jinhong said impatiently, "No matter who she is, it has nothing to do with you."
"How can it be okay? The commander arranged for us to go on a blind date today, and you treat me like this?!"
Ye Jinhong glanced at the short-haired woman and said coldly, "I just agreed to come over for a meal with the commander. As for the blind date you mentioned, the commander didn't tell me. But even if he told me, I wouldn't agree. I have someone I like and I will marry her soon. Don't do these meaningless things in the future."
After saying that, Ye Jinhong returned to the box. The short-haired woman stood in the hall, shaking with anger. She did not follow Ye Jinhong back to the box, but walked to a secluded place and waved at the Red Flag car across the road. Soon, a man in black clothes got out of the Red Flag car. The short-haired woman whispered, "Go and find out who that woman was just now. I want all her information in two hours."
The man in black nodded, said "OK", and hurried away.
The short-haired woman is Liu Qin, the niece of Liu Guoan, commander of the Second Army. It is an open secret in the entire Second Army that Liu Qin likes Ye Jinhong. However, even though Liu Qin chases after Ye Jinhong all day long, Ye Jinhong never looks at her more. Seeing that Ye Jinhong has never had any contact with any women, Liu Qin always thinks that Ye Jinhong is naturally cold-tempered. As long as she treats him well, Ye Jinhong will always notice her over time.
But two years have passed, and she has tried all the methods she could, but Ye Jinhong is still lukewarm towards her. Liu Qin doesn't want to miss Ye Jinhong, so she shamelessly asks her second uncle Liu Guoan to help her facilitate this good relationship. Originally, everything was going smoothly, but Ye Jinhong just came out to smoke a cigarette, and he was seduced by a little girl who suddenly showed up? !
Liu Qin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, but now was not the time to do so. She walked back to the box in her high heels. Ye Jinhong had already sat back in his seat. He sat there quietly, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Guoan had been talking to his old colleague in the box and didn't know that Ye Jinhong and Liu Qin had already had an unpleasant conversation. At this time, he saw Ye Jinhong and Liu Qin both sitting down, so he smiled and said to Ye Jinhong, "Jinhong, I'm here to act as a matchmaker for you. Do you think it's feasible?"
Ye Jinhong was about to say no, but Liu Guoan raised his hand to stop him. He was eager to express himself, and he had to finish what he wanted to say first. "What do you think of my Liu Qin? In the past two years, she has been chasing you in the Second Army. Although she has made a lot of jokes, it is because she likes you. I just thought you were just children fighting and didn't take it seriously. In the past two years, I saw that you didn't accept Liu Qin, but you didn't get involved with other women. Today, I will shamelessly match you with Liu Qin. What do you think?"
Liu Guoan is the commander of the Second Army, and Ye Jinhong is currently only a regiment commander. Although Ye Jinhong has a strong family background and a bright future, he is only a regiment commander after all. Generally speaking, if Liu Guoan speaks, Ye Jinhong should give him some face.
Liu Guoan looked at Ye Jinhong kindly, waiting for Ye Jinhong to agree, but Ye Jinhong refused. "Thank you for your kindness, Commander. I have someone I like. I just confirmed our relationship. If nothing unexpected happens, we will get married this year."
Liu Guoan:! ! ! !
Liu Qin's eyes were red. She had been chasing Ye Jinhong for two years, and the whole Second Army knew that she liked Ye Jinhong. Today, her second uncle came to act as a matchmaker. She thought that even if Ye Jinhong held hands with that unknown woman, he would at least give her some face in front of his second uncle and these elders. But who knew that Ye Jinhong would refuse on the spot.
Liu Qin felt embarrassed, so she covered her face and ran away crying.
Liu Guoan just felt like a flock of crows were flying above his head. What was going on?
"In the past two years, I have never seen you interact with any woman. But today I wanted to be your matchmaker, and you confirmed your relationship with someone before I even opened my mouth. Are you deliberately lying to me in order to reject Liu Qin?"
Liu Guoan was a little angry. He didn't expect Ye Jinhong to reject her so cleanly, leaving no room for Liu Qin.
Ye Jinhong said calmly, "I never joke about love affairs. Some time ago, there was a misunderstanding between me and my girlfriend. I just saw her and we talked it out. The misunderstanding was resolved. After a while, I will propose to her. If nothing unexpected happens, you can drink my wedding wine by the end of this year at the latest."
Liu Guoan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Jinhong carefully. Ye Jinhong looked frank and didn't seem to be pretending. In the end, he could only sigh, "Forget it, it seems that you and Liu Qin are not destined to be together."
He was young once, and he knew that love was the most unreasonable thing and could not be forced.
******
Shu Niannian returned to the small guesthouse. Shu Wenhui had just gotten up. Shu Niannian told Shu Wenhui that she had met Ye Jinhong on the road, and told Shu Wenhui about Ye Jinhong's concerns. Shu Wenhui frowned fiercely, "What he said makes sense. When I just got out of the train station, I realized something was wrong. In the alley opposite the train station, there were always people peeking at us. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I hear what you said, those people are most likely thieves."
Shu Niannian looked a little solemn. She packed her luggage and took Shu Wenhui to check out. Zhang Shu Niannian paid for three days, but the front desk only refunded two days. "You have already stayed for a whole morning. According to the regulations, this half day is counted as one day, and you cannot refund it."
Shu Wenhui wanted to argue with the front desk, but was stopped by Shu Niannian, "It's okay, just refund it in two days, but can I leave a note for you? Someone named Zhang Chunyang will come to see me later, please give him the note."
Seeing that Shu Niannian was easy to talk to, the receptionist readily agreed to pass the message to Shu Niannian.
Shu Niannian left a note, checked out, and went to Ye Jinhong's suite with Shu Wenhui. Just like last time, after Shu Niannian gave her name, the lady at the front desk wrote in the registration book: Ye Jinhong's family is staying.
Last time, Shu Niannian thought that the lady at the front desk had made a mistake. Ye Jinhong was definitely not talking about family members, but relatives. But now, after Shu Niannian and Ye Jinhong had confirmed their relationship, Shu Niannian looked at the word "family members" and felt inexplicably embarrassed.
It turns out that "uncle" had already had that kind of thought about her?
Shu Niannian's face flushed with shame. She deliberately walked in front, not daring to let Shu Wenhui notice anything. Everything had just begun, and she didn't want to let her family know now, lest this relationship die before it had time to take root and sprout due to her family's various concerns.
Shu Niannian likes Ye Jinhong, and she wants to carefully protect this relationship so that it can blossom and bear fruit.
Shu Wenhui came to this suite again and couldn't help but sigh, "Ye Jinhong is such a good man. Next time he comes to our house, we will definitely treat him well!"
Ye Jinhong is Lu Jianjun's uncle. Now that Shu Niannian and Lu Jianjun have broken off their engagement, it is reasonable for Ye Jinhong to ignore them. However, Ye Jinhong still gave them his own suite to live in and reminded them to be on guard against thieves. If this isn't a good person, how can he be?
Shu Niannian kept agreeing, "Yes, yes, big brother, you are right. When you see him later, you must invite him to visit our house more often."
Shu Wenhui, who didn't understand what was going on, clapped his hands and said, "Of course!"
After the two of them settled down, Shu Niannian set off for Miaoshou Huichun. She wrote on a note and asked Zhang Chunyang to return to Miaoshou Huichun and wait for her after seeing the message.
But when Shu Niannian went to Miaoshou Huichun, she found that not only Zhang Chunyang was waiting for her, but also the short-haired woman who had met her briefly in the morning.
The short-haired woman crossed her arms over her chest. Although there was no expression of disgust on her face, her self-awareness told Shu Niannian that this short-haired woman had bad intentions.
Sure enough, as soon as Shu Niannian stepped into the miraculous hands, Liu Qin said calmly, "Your name is Shu Niannian? You are the one who has been exchanging letters with Ye Jinhong recently?!"
"How do you know that Ye Jinhong and I have correspondence?" Shu Niannian was shocked.
Liu Qin had an average look but a charming figure. She twisted her waist as she walked towards Shu Niannian, deliberately provoking her, "How do you think I knew this? Letters are such obscure and private things. If I knew this, it must have been told to me by the writer or the recipient."
Shu Niannian didn't believe Liu Qin's lies and continued to ask, "Does Jinhong know that you are investigating him privately? I just met you once this morning, but now you can follow the clues and find out here. It shows that you have been investigating Jinhong for more than one or two days. What do you want to do?"
Although Shu Niannian was young and pretty, she was wearing a navy blue monkey cotton dress and had a pigtail, which was so rustic. As soon as Liu Qin saw her, she didn't take Shu Niannian seriously. She was just a country girl, and she dared to snatch Ye Jinhong from her? !
She wanted to fool Shu Niannian, but unexpectedly, Shu Niannian saw through her plan at a glance. However, Liu Qin was not panicking. She was just a country girl. What kind of trouble could she cause?
"Haha, you know you can't help but check. It's only been a few hours since we met in the morning, but I've already checked you out. Your resume wouldn't fill up a page, and you were once Ye Jinhong's niece-in-law. How can you be worthy of Ye Jinhong?"
"You probably don't know how outstanding Ye Jinhong is." Liu Qin said faintly, "Putting aside Ye Jinhong's family background, just looking at the military medals he earned, it is enough for him to have no worries about food and drink in his life. What's more, he is so young and so motivated. Even my second uncle said frankly that Ye Jinhong has a promising future. For such a person, would he want a country girl like you?!"
Liu Qin looked at Shu Niannian with a condescending look, "It is undeniable that you are young and energetic now. Ye Jinhong may be confused by you and like you for a while, but what about the long term? If two people want to be together for a long time, it is definitely not based on momentary passion, but on being well-matched, having a common language, and supporting each other. Think about it, which of these things can you match?"
Liu Qin spoke passionately. If Shu Niannian was just an eighteen-year-old girl at this time, she would definitely be intimidated by Liu Qin's aura and would also have self-doubt after hearing Liu Qin's reasoning.
But Shu Niannian is not eighteen years old, she has lived many years. How could she be so easily defeated by Liu Qin's words?
"I know everything you said, and it's all true. But you see, you have all of these things you said. You have a family background and talents that match Ye Jinhong's. You also want to support each other with Ye Jinhong, but Ye Jinhong doesn't want you!"
Shu Niannian spoke mercilessly, and Liu Qin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood on the spot. Although she was unwilling to admit it, what Shu Niannian said was the truth. She stood in front of Ye Jinhong with a handful of "good conditions", but Ye Jinhong didn't even glance at her!
"Little girl, you have a very powerful mouth. No wonder Jin Hong was temporarily bewitched by you, but it's only temporary!"
Liu Qin uttered some harsh words and left angrily.
Shu Niannian remained neither arrogant nor angry in front of Liu Qin. Zhang Chunyang, standing beside her, was full of admiration. The little girl was able to keep her composure.
After Liu Qin left, Shu Niannian started talking about work with Zhang Chunyang as if nothing had happened. Although she had no expression, her thoughts were clear and her logic was sound. Zhang Chunyang originally wanted to persuade Shu Niannian, but seeing that Shu Niannian was so stable, he didn't say anything.
But when Shu Niannian started to make the facial cream, she couldn't perform to her usual level. Either she failed to collect the rose pure water, or she spilled the essential oil outside the bottle.
After several failures, Shu Niannian angrily threw the bottle on the ground. The glass bottle exploded with a bang, and glass shards were scattered all over the ground. Zhang Chunyang sighed and quietly cleaned the ground. He poured Shu Niannian a cup of hot water and asked her to rest for a while. "If you are in a bad mood, take a rest. We are not going to be unable to make ends meet without this business. Don't force yourself."
Zhang Chunyang scratched his head stupidly. He was not good at persuading people, and he didn't know if he had persuaded them to the point. After a moment, Shu Niannian stood up and said, "You're right. I'll take a break for a while. I won't make ordinary face cream in the store anymore. I'll send it to you when I get home."
Zhang Chunyang agreed readily. Shu Niannian walked to the door, paused, turned back and said to Zhang Chunyang, "After I leave, if Ye Jinhong comes looking for me, tell him that I was driven away by a short-haired woman in a gray coat."
