Chapter 90 You're smart to know what's good for you
"Aunt, look! That's Huo Zhenhua and Su Meng. They're still together."
Sun Qiao grabbed a refined-looking woman and blocked their way, her expression resentful and tearful.
It was exactly the kind of aura a wife would use to catch her husband cheating.
Su Meng never expected to be caught in the crossfire and be publicly criticized.
Her pretty face darkened, and she looked at Sun Qiao with displeasure.
"Comrade Sun Qiao, right?"
What gives you the right to accuse me of slander?
By what right do you stand here questioning us?
"Just because you can cry, or because you have a big face?"
Although she is upright and honest, she cannot be slandered without reason.
Seeing Su Meng's confident questioning, Sun Qiao cried even harder, "I..."
Huo Zhenhua didn't even look at her. He stepped forward and stood in front of Su Meng, his handsome face dark as he looked at the woman next to Sun Qiao. "Madam Nie, who is she to you?"
I don't remember ever going on a blind date with that woman.
He didn't agree to date her.
Please discipline her properly and prevent her from biting people indiscriminately.
However, Madam Nie's gaze had been fixed on Su Meng ever since she heard her name.
Upon hearing Huo Zhenhua's words, she suddenly came to her senses, patted Sun Qiao's hand, and signaled her to shut up.
"Quiet! When Commander Huo came to our house that day, it wasn't to set you up on a blind date, but because we asked him to help us bring some things."
As she spoke, she looked apologetically at Huo Zhenhua, "It was Sun Qiao who was being unreasonable. Please forgive her, Commander Huo."
Huo Zhenhua snorted, "Fine! Don't come to the research institute to loiter around unless you have to."
After all, military discipline is not just for show.
He secretly didn't want Su Meng to have any contact with the Nie family, let alone for them to get close.
Although Grandma Su said they were not worthy of the Nie family, who knows what might happen.
Especially after learning that Su Meng had no romantic feelings for him, he became even more anxious and insecure.
Upon hearing Huo Zhenhua's warning, Madam Nie's expression changed repeatedly. She glared at Sun Qiao with disappointment, feeling that her foolish niece had completely disgraced her.
Seeing that Su Meng was about to leave with Huo Zhenhua, she couldn't help but call out, "Su Meng."
Are you Su Meng from the Shanghai Stock Exchange?
I am Nie Pingting's mother and Nie Rongchang's wife.
Su Meng stopped in surprise, looked at Madam Nie, and exclaimed how small the world was, that she had encountered the Nie family so quickly.
But thinking of the help Nie Rongchang had given her, even if she didn't want to have anything to do with the Nie family, she couldn't just turn around and leave rudely.
"Hello, Madam Nie! I am Su Meng from Shanghai."
Madam Nie stepped forward with delight and grabbed Su Meng's arm, just as enthusiastically as Nie Pingting had been back then, "Is it really you?"
After Pingting came back, she kept praising you and kept saying she wanted to go to Shanghai to visit you. She never expected you to come to the island.
When did you arrive? Where are you staying?
Su Meng answered politely one by one, then glanced at the sky and said, "My grandmother is waiting for me to have dinner, Madam Nie, I'll take my leave now!"
Madam Nie said reproachfully, "Why are you calling me Madam Nie? Call me Sister-in-law."
Su Meng, Ronghua is back from her mission.
But he was injured and hospitalized at the First People's Hospital of Zhoushan City. He might have to wait a few days to visit you..."
Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Su Meng subtly withdrew her arm and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Nie, it's getting late. Let's find Pingting to play when we have time!"
On the way back, Huo Zhenhua remained very silent.
The man's tall and slender back had a desolate feel to it, like the bleakness of autumn. The cold pressure emanating from him made Su Meng slow down and keep a meter away from him.
However, Su Meng only felt his cold aura and didn't think about why his emotions had changed.
I spared a bit of my attention to read in my spatial dimension.
But there is no such person as Sun Qiao in that book.
Could it be that her awakening disrupted the plot, causing many characters who had never appeared before to come out?
"However, Sun Qiao isn't that ugly."
Commander Huo, how many blind dates have you actually been on?
You won't run into someone you went on a blind date with just a few steps, will you?
If that's the case, I'll never dare to appear with you again, it's too terrifying!
That's what she thought, and she muttered it out loud.
Until she bumped into his hard back and met his dark eyes, she belatedly realized she had chickened out.
"Uh! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have pried into your private affairs. I... I'll go now."
Huo Zhenhua stretched out his long arm and grabbed her by the back of her collar. His sinister voice came down from above, "Listen, I've never been on a blind date."
I've never been in a relationship.
When I love someone, I will be devoted to them forever, until we grow old together. There is no question of me being fickle.
He spoke through gritted teeth, but with the solemnity of swearing an oath to the national flag, leaving Su Meng stunned.
"...Yes, I heard you. But why are you telling me so much?"
You should tell the person you like.
Huo Zhenhua has passed away.
He made it so obvious to her alone, so why couldn't she understand?
Little did he know that, fearing she would reject him on the spot, he mustered all his courage, stood behind her, and forcibly restrained her, saying those words to her, which took almost all the courage he had in his life.
It was even more difficult than infiltrating the enemy camp alone and capturing the enemy leader alive.
He was afraid she would reject him, afraid he wasn't the kind of lover she envisioned, afraid they could no longer be friends, afraid he could no longer be by her side.
He laughed self-deprecatingly. He, a person who never believed in love, had one day become anxious and lived cautiously because of someone.
This is truly... something I've never seen before!
"Su Meng, what are your criteria for a marriage partner? For example, appearance, personality, occupation, etc."
He pressed on relentlessly, undeterred by the possibility of torture, relentlessly asking questions.
Su Meng looked at him with a puzzled expression, thinking to herself that even if she called him "brother," he didn't need to be so nosy.
At this moment, Huo Zhenhua was looking directly at her, and after hearing her heartfelt words, his heart skipped a beat.
The pain became increasingly intense, but he stubbornly waited for an answer.
His dark, deep eyes were fixed on her profile, as if trying to see through the pores of her face and along the veins to check whether her emotional ties had been severed. How could she be so slow to understand?
Su Meng blushed slowly under her gaze, and the timid girl dared not look up to meet her eyes.
She was afraid of falling into the vortex of his eyes again, getting trapped and unable to escape.
"I hadn't thought about it."
The voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but Huo Zhenhua, with his sharp ears, heard it.
He sighed helplessly; she really was just a clueless little girl.
"Why don't you think about it now?"
Faced with the man's gradual seduction, Su Meng's rebellious spirit was reignited.
She looked up abruptly, glared at him quickly, but met his dark eyes and gave in.
She counted on her fingers: "As refined as my father, as strong as Ah Da, as patient and loving as my uncle, and also like..."
Suddenly, she tilted her head and gave her a wicked smile, "Can I be as handsome as you?"
Huo Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and then, as if fireworks had exploded in his mind, his blood was boiling.
He pursed his lips tightly, his jawline taut, but you could still see the slight upturn of his lips.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!"
He delivered those words in a deep, resonant voice, tinged with a pleasant aftertaste, leaving Su Meng completely bewildered.
So, he... was angry at first?
Has he been appeased now?
Could it be that Sun Qiao came to stage an accident and upset him?
Su Meng rubbed her arms, staring at the man's tall figure, and sighed inwardly. It turned out that he was not only sharp-tongued, but also a moody and childish man.
Oh dear! It's going to be even harder to find a partner now!
