After dinner.
Apart from Lu Jingnian, all the women in the family went to Grandma Jiang's room to see the dowry that Grandma Jiang had prepared for Yao Hua.
After everyone had left, Lu Jingnian got up and went out.
Just as Lu Jingnian left the Jiang family, he ran into Zhao Lanxi, who seemed to have just returned from outside. She was accompanied by a slightly plump woman.
Upon seeing Lu Jingnian, Zhao Lanxi suddenly patted the hand of the girl beside her, stopped in her tracks, and took the initiative to greet Lu Jingnian with a smile.
"Battalion Commander Lu, why are you going out so late?"
"Um."
Lu Jingnian nodded expressionlessly, not wanting to say anything more to the other party.
"You've just been discharged from the hospital. Why isn't Jiang Yue with you going out so late? What if something happens?"
This woman really enjoys sowing discord.
Lu Jingnian's gaze turned cold, and he retorted directly, "I have no grudge against you, so why are you cursing me?"
Zhao Lanxi was taken aback by the question, then she became aggrieved, "Commander Lu, how could you say that to me? When did I curse you?"
How could this man talk like that?
That's too much.
"You didn't curse me, you asked me what to do if something happens to me when I go out?"
Lu Jingnian looked serious, completely ignoring Zhao Lanxi's grievances.
Zhao Lanxi wanted to curse. Did Lu Jingnian think that no other daughters besides Jiang Yue were women? He really didn't know how to cherish women at all.
"Commander Lu, you've misunderstood. I'm just worried that your injuries haven't healed yet. Jiang Yue isn't with you when you go out. What if something happens to you?"
Lu Jingnian not only failed to appreciate her good intentions, but also coldly retorted, "Do you think that if something happens to me, my Yueyue will be safe and sound while I'm here?"
"Comrade Zhao Lanxi, you are wrong."
If something really happens to me, it will just mean one more person in Yueyue's family who suffers. Instead of wasting your time trying to sow discord between me and Yueyue, you should focus your energy on your studies; maybe you can get into a good university.
Lu Jingnian showed Zhao Lanxi no respect whatsoever.
If he didn't say it harshly, this woman would definitely try to sow discord between him and Jiang Yue every time she saw him. Lu Jingnian was annoyed by this kind of person and didn't want to be harassed all the time.
Zhao Lanxi's face turned pale and then red as she was being talked about, and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
"It's one thing for you to misunderstand me, but to slander me like this is going too far, Battalion Commander Lu."
Tears streamed down Zhao Lanxi's face as she covered her face and turned to leave.
After walking a distance, Zhao Lanxi realized that Su Ning, who had come back with her, had not followed.
Zhao Lanxi frowned and turned her head to see Su Ning still standing where she had just met Lu Jingnian, staring blankly in the direction Lu Jingnian had left.
Lu Jingnian had already gone far away; now all that could be seen was a blurry silhouette under the lamplight.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhao Lanxi's brows as she quickly walked back and patted Su Ning on the shoulder.
"ah?"
Su Ning was startled and suddenly came to her senses, only to see Zhao Lanxi looking at her with red eyes and an accusing gaze.
"Sister Lanxi, what... what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Lanxi almost laughed out of anger at Su Ning's blank and innocent look. Hadn't she seen everything that just happened? Why was she asking her what was wrong?
After asking the question, before Zhao Lanxi could answer, Su Ning excitedly took her arm, blushing and shyly asking, "Sister Lanxi, who was that man just now?"
The man she just saw looked exactly like the person she always dreamed about. She was so captivated when she saw him that she couldn't hear anything around her and it was as if the whole world consisted only of the man in front of her.
"Didn't you hear me talking to him just now?" Zhao Lanxi looked at Su Ning suspiciously.
Looking at Su Ning's shy and confused expression, it seemed she really didn't know what had just happened?
Was she really so engrossed in watching Battalion Commander Lu just now?
Zhao Lanxi thought about Lu Jingnian's face; it certainly had the looks to be captivating, but Su Ning...
Seeing Su Ning's shy expression, Zhao Lanxi pursed her lips and suddenly smiled.
"That man just now was Battalion Commander Lu, Jiang Yue's husband. Ningning, why are you asking about Battalion Commander Lu?"
"Jiang Yue's husband?"
Su Ning stared at Zhao Lanxi in shock. The man was Jiang Yue's man?
How can this be?
That was clearly the man from her dreams...
"yes."
Zhao Lanxi nodded with a smile, "They haven't been married long, but everyone says that Battalion Commander Lu treats Jiang Yue very well. But that's normal, after all, Battalion Commander Lu owes a lot of his success to Uncle Jiang..."
I heard that Battalion Commander Lu married Jiang Yue out of gratitude.
"What's the meaning?"
Su Ning didn't quite understand, so she pulled Zhao Lanxi along, "Sister Lanxi, could you explain it to me in detail?"
...
Not long after Lu Jingnian walked out of the compound, he noticed that someone seemed to be following him.
He went out to meet someone, so naturally he couldn't have someone following him around.
As they passed through the bungalow area, Lu Jingnian suddenly slipped into a narrow alley. The people following behind were stunned when they saw Lu Jingnian's figure suddenly disappear, and then quickly walked over.
Seeing the narrow alley where Lu Jingnian disappeared, the other person pursed their lips and quickly followed him in.
This narrow alley isn't very long, but because it was nighttime and there were no streetlights, it was quite dark, so the path inside was a bit hard to see.
The other person, after chasing for half a minute, suddenly stopped and turned around to walk back, seemingly remembering something.
"You've followed me for so long, and you're just going to leave like this?"
Suddenly, Lu Jingnian's voice came from the alley entrance, and he came out.
The dim streetlights at the intersection made Jiang Lujingnian's figure appear elongated, and his cold voice carried an oppressive force that seemed to crush everything.
Upon seeing Lu Jingnian, the other party knew he was no match for him and turned to run without a second thought.
Lu Jingnian watched the other person's figure disappear into the alley, but did not chase after them.
Judging from the speed at which the other person ran, you can tell that he is a trained fighter. His injuries have not yet healed, and it is not certain that you can catch him if you chase after him. Besides, you are in a hurry to see someone and cannot waste time here.
Now that this person has followed him, it's impossible that he'll only follow him this once.
He will definitely find this person in a couple of days.
...
The Jiang family.
When Jiang Yue came out of Grandma Jiang's room, she saw that the TV in the living room was off, and Lu Jingnian was no longer there.
I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 8:10.
Jiang Yue thought Lu Jingnian had gone back to his room, so she smiled and quickly went upstairs.
She had just bought two suits for Lu Jingnian a couple of days ago and specially picked out three ties, which would finally come in handy tonight.
Open the door to the room.
Jiang Yue was about to call out to Lu Jingnian when she saw that the bed was empty and Lu Jingnian was not in the bedroom.
Could it be in the restroom?
Jiang Yue walked towards the restroom. The door was closed. She tilted her head and pressed her ear against the door to listen, but there was no sound inside.
"Knock knock knock!"
Jiang Yue knocked on the door.
"Lu Jingnian, are you inside?"
