Chapter 86 Thank her for my love
Because Yinglan and her mother do not live in the military area, Yinglan's father Chu Zhonghua usually does not live in the compound, but in the military area.
Every year when Yinglan and her mother came to visit, Chu Zhonghua would apply to the higher authorities to allocate a room in the military district’s cadre dormitory for Yinglan and her mother to stay.
Since it was night, Huo Jianguo went directly to Chu Zhonghua's dormitory to find him.
When he arrived, Chu Zhonghua was washing his feet. Seeing Huo Jianguo coming, Chu Zhonghua quickly wiped the water off his feet, stood up, and asked:
"Jianguo, why are you here so late at night?"
"I have something to talk to you about." Huo Jianguo squeezed the photo in his hand, walked into Chu Zhonghua's room, and closed the dormitory door.
After all, Yinglan is a girl waiting to be married. If Huo Jianguo wants to tell Chu Zhonghua about her affairs, he still wants to avoid people and not let others hear and tarnish Yinglan's reputation.
Seeing Huo Jianguo's serious face, Chu Zhonghua thought something had happened in the army. Suddenly, his wrinkled square face became stern:
"Could it be that they have discovered something again? Is it drug dealers, smugglers, or poachers?"
In the military, Huo Jianguo was mainly responsible for these aspects, so Chu Zhonghua naturally thought about this.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Huo Jianguo just shook his head at him:
“Neither!”
"None of them?" Chu Zhonghua was immediately confused: "What is that?"
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Huo Jianguo awkwardly took out the photo of Yinglan from his pocket and handed it to Chu Zhonghua.
"What is it?" Chu Zhonghua first looked at Huo Jianguo in confusion, then lowered his head to look at the photo Huo Jianguo handed over, and then frowned:
"Yinglan's photo, how come it is here with you?"
"My wife found the photo in the notebook Yinglan gave me three years ago." Huo Jianguo told the truth about the origin of the photo, and then said to Chu Zhonghua solemnly:
"I sent it back here on purpose because I want to ask the commander to return it to Yinglan for me and thank her for her kindness."
"When Yinglan retired three years ago, you were still unmarried, right? So it wasn't over the line for her to send you the photo." Chu Zhonghua looked at Huo Jianguo disapprovingly:
"Since you're married, just throw away the photos if you find them. Why do you want to return them to Yinglan? Aren't you deliberately embarrassing her?"
"I don't want to either, mainly because I have nowhere else to go." Huo Jianguo looked at Chu Zhonghua helplessly.
Chu Zhonghua frowned upon hearing this, and the wrinkles on his face deepened:
"What do you mean? Why are you desperate? My Yinglan did like you, but she didn't insist on marrying you. Are you forcing me?"
"If I hadn't been forced, I wouldn't have come to see you!" Huo Jianguo didn't like to beat around the bush. He directly repeated to Chu Zhonghua in detail what Yinglan's mother had done to instigate Zhao Ying.
Chu Zhonghua was puzzled at first, but anger started to burn in his eyes as he listened. When Huo Jianguo finished speaking, Chu Zhonghua slapped the table fiercely:
"What nonsense! Is my Yinglan unable to get married or what? Why would she resort to such shameless and dirty tricks behind my back?
Damn it, she takes advantage of the fact that she and I live in different places and I can't control her, and she dares to do such a shameless thing.
Jianguo, don't worry, nothing will happen to Su Mei. I will stop Yinglan's mother and make sure she doesn't do anything to destroy the harmony of your family."
"Thank you for the trouble!" Huo Jianguo actually believed that Chu Zhonghua would not do such a thing to destroy other people's families.
But after hearing Chu Zhonghua's personal guarantee, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already achieved his purpose of visiting Chu Zhonghua, and he was still thinking about Su Mei's situation, so he didn't linger for long after he finished talking, and stood up to say goodbye to Chu Zhonghua:
"Thank you for your concern. Now that you know about this matter, I believe you will handle it well. I have other things to do, so I won't bother you anymore!"
"We are the ones who have caused you trouble. Go and do your work. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." After Chu Zhonghua finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
When Chu Zhonghua first heard Huo Jianguo explain the whole story, he was very angry, but after he calmed down, he felt more helpless.
Huo Jianguo knew that Chu Zhonghua was upset, but he was in no mood to comfort the old leader at this moment, so he could only nod at him:
"Okay, I'll take my leave then!"
After speaking, Huo Jianguo stood up and left.
