Lin Yu was slightly surprised.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "So confident? Looks like you and your fiancée have a great relationship!"
Yuan Ye said with a smug look, "That's right! You don't know, when my fiancée was in college, she wasn't in good health and got a rare disease called Crohn's disease, you know, it's like rotting intestines, right? It's very dangerous. The medical expenses were several thousand yuan every month. During the outbreak, she was even admitted to the ICU. Her family was completely drained because of her illness, but I never thought of abandoning her. I stayed outside the ward at night and went out to deliver food during the day to earn money for her medical expenses. That period was really tough!"
"To be honest, I joined the army because of her. I heard that there was a subsidy of 20,000 yuan per year for soldiers, so I signed up without hesitation! I didn't expect to actually be selected. Over the years, all the allowances I've earned have gone to her! I really treat her like my wife! We've already agreed that we'll get our marriage certificate together after I'm discharged!" Yuan Ye rambled on and on.
When he mentioned his fiancée, his eyes were filled with immense happiness, anticipation, and endless longing.
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile and shake his head. "Since you said her home is nearby, why don't we go back and visit her?"
Yuan Ye was taken aback, then excitedly asked, "Is it possible? Young Marshal, is it really possible?"
Lin Yu nodded with a smile, "Really, I don't have anything to do anyway. We're not Yu the Great, there's no need for us to pass by our homes three times without going in! Let's go, it's a good opportunity to mooch a meal at your mother-in-law's house!"
"That's wonderful!" Yuan Ye exclaimed excitedly. "Young Marshal, you don't know how delicious my mother-in-law's cooking is, especially her braised pork with vermicelli. Once you've eaten it, you'll never want to leave!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle; this was just too exaggerated.
With Lin Yu's permission, Yuan Ye quickly turned the car around and drove into a small alley.
At this moment, several cars were already parked outside a small courtyard at the deepest part of the alley.
The courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the guests gathered together, chatting enthusiastically.
"Second Aunt, Jinlian's marriage to Young Master Jin is like a phoenix rising to the top!"
"Of course! What kind of family does Young Master Jin come from? The Jin family is a wealthy family on the outskirts of our city! Their assets must be over a hundred million, right?"
"That's an understatement. The Jin family has made a fortune selling medicine over the years, at least a billion yuan!"
"Wow, that's amazing! This is like rising to the top in one step! Jinlian, now that you're the young mistress of the Jin family, you'd better help us relatives!"
The crowd surrounded Wang Jinlian and her family of three, showering them with compliments.
Wang Jinlian was beautiful and her name reflected her appearance. She resembled Pan Jinlian from the novel "Water Margin". She was also very slender and a head taller than Wu Dalang. She had a charming temperament and a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes.
Wang Jinlian's mother, Zhang Xiu, and father, Wang Zhensheng, were also beaming with joy.
The couple only had one daughter, and now that she's marrying into a wealthy family, they are naturally overjoyed.
"Oh right, judging by the timeline, Yuan Ye should be discharged from the army soon, right?"
At that moment, a relative suddenly said something.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Everyone knew that Wang Jinlian had a boyfriend before. That young man was quite nice; he helped Wang Jinlian a lot during the years she was seriously ill, and the two families had even met and gotten engaged.
Wang Jinlian said coldly, "Why bring that up? He's just a lowly soldier. How can he compare to Young Master Jin? I've already decided that when he comes back, I'll make it clear to him that he's not good enough for me!"
The mother, Zhang Xiu, immediately chimed in, "Exactly! What kind of soldier is he? Does he deserve my daughter? Even if he was nice to her before, it was all voluntary. In today's terms, what do you call that? That's right, he's a simp!"
"Haha, Second Aunt is really fashionable! But what she said is true, a simp will end up with nothing!"
A younger person said something that made everyone burst into laughter.
Although the Wang family wasn't a wealthy family, they were still quite well-known in the town, so they naturally looked down on a soldier.
The main reason is that this soldier is far superior to the son of a wealthy family; their social status is simply too different.
Everyone knows that if you don't have connections, it's very difficult to get promoted in the military.
Moreover, Yuan Ye joined the army halfway through his career, so he was neither good enough for high-ranking positions nor good enough for low-ranking ones, and he was unlikely to make a name for himself.
Wang Jinlian had long seen through this, so she had wanted to break up with Yuan Ye for a long time. However, Yuan Ye had been sending her money every month for years, and she couldn't bear to part with it, so she hadn't had the nerve to say goodbye until now.
Now that she's about to get engaged to Young Master Jin, it's time to break things off with Yuan Ye!
Ta-da!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone was slightly taken aback, and someone said, "Could it be that Young Master Jin has arrived?"
"Weren't we supposed to go straight to the engagement party at the hotel? Why are you at home?"
"Maybe they miss our Jinlian and have come to pick her up to go together!"
"I'll go open the door!"
Mother Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and ran over to open the door.
Squeak!
The courtyard gate opened, and Zhang Xiu's eyes widened slightly, for in front of her stood two tall men.
"Um, you are..."
Seeing the dark-skinned man at the head of the group, Zhang Xiu was somewhat confused.
This young man looks familiar, but I can't quite place who he is!
Indeed, Yuan Ye has become much stronger and darker from years of training in the army, exposed to the wind and sun. The change is truly remarkable.
She didn't recognize Yuan Ye, but Yuan Ye excitedly called out to her, "Auntie, it's me! It's Yuan Ye! I've come back to see you!!"
"What?? You're Yuan Ye??" Zhang Xiu's eyes widened instantly.
Hearing the noise, the other people in the courtyard immediately gathered around.
"My God! It really is Yuan Ye!"
"Why did this kid suddenly come back?"
"Could it be that he heard something and came back on purpose?"
The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves, their expressions becoming complicated.
Today is a big day for the Wang family, as Wang Jinlian and Jin Shao are about to get engaged.
It's incredibly awkward that Yuan Ye, her ex-boyfriend, would come back at this time.
Please don't let them come here to cause trouble!
It wouldn't be good if Young Master Jin misunderstood anything!
"Golden Lotus!"
At this moment, Yuan Ye spotted Wang Jinlian in the crowd, his eyes filled with excitement, and he immediately headed towards the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu reacted like a hen with its feathers ruffled, yelling and pushing him outside.
"Get out! Who are you? We don't know you. Jinlian has nothing to do with you anymore. Don't come here again!"
As Zhang Xiu spoke, she suddenly pushed Yuan Ye outside the courtyard!
