"Wow, you found a way so quickly?"
Cao Jing frowned as she looked at the man in front of her. He was tall and thin, leaning against the wall with an awkward posture, and had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.
His face was fairly handsome, but a long scar across his cheekbone gave him a somewhat fierce look.
Coupled with the man's roguish demeanor, anyone who saw him would want to avoid him.
This man is the female lead's biggest admirer, and later a business tycoon, Huo Zhenduo.
Cao Jing took two steps back, distancing herself from Huo Zhenduo.
"I'm not here to see you today, I'm here to see your grandmother."
Huo Zhenduo narrowed his eyes. "What do you want with my grandmother?"
Huo Zhenduo had no other relatives and lived with his grandmother in this bungalow area on the outskirts of the city.
Grandma Huo was a blind old woman, but when Cao Jing came to the Huo family last time, she muttered a sentence in a daze—"Those who are not of this world will leave sooner or later."
At that time, Cao Jing felt very guilty and scared, thinking that the old lady had seen through her background.
But now that I think about it, the fact that the old lady could tell her background means that the old lady was no ordinary person!
She'll leave sooner or later... which perfectly matches what's been happening to her lately!
If the original owner's soul is allowed to take over the body, won't she be forced to leave sooner or later?
After thinking it over, only Grandma Huo could help her.
Cao Jing said to Huo Zhenduo, "Let's put the cargo transportation on hold for now. I have other issues to deal with."
Huo Zhenduo sneered, "Who was it that begged me to cooperate in the first place? Now you've wasted my time, and you're just going to put it on hold like this?"
Cao Jing, realizing she was in the wrong, softened her tone and said, "I will compensate you for your losses."
Huo Zhenduo spat out the foxtail grass in his mouth, straightened up, and took a few steps toward Cao Jing, his aura dangerous.
"You bitch, are you kidding me?"
Cao Jing shook her head fearfully, "I didn't..."
Huo Zhenduo stared at her sharply for a long time before saying, "I'll give you two more days, otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences."
Cao Jing shrank back slightly.
The book subtly mentions that Huo Zhenduo's past was not honorable, and that he was capable of anything.
Cao Jing is now regretting coming to Huo Zhenduo; what's the difference between this and seeking help from a tiger?!
Huo Zhenduo's expression changed again, and he kindly offered her advice: "I bet it's because your brother-in-law doesn't agree. We need to be more resourceful. If your brother-in-law doesn't agree, we can look for others. Don't you know any of his colleagues? As long as you offer enough money, I believe someone will be willing to do it..."
That's one way to do it. Cao Jing recalled that the original owner had a good relationship with her brother-in-law's family and often went to the railway bureau's family compound. There was indeed a train driver she could talk to.
"Okay, I'll try again!" Cao Jing glanced at her watch. "I'll go find Grandma Huo first. I'll do my best with the delivery."
Huo Zhenduo smiled as he watched Cao Jing's retreating figure, "Effort alone is not enough; you have to make it happen."
Cao Jing paused for a moment before continuing on her way.
Huo Zhenduo was extremely happy.
Some stupid woman, who I don't know where she came from, said she wanted to cooperate with him.
Huo Zhenduo was initially very wary, but his grandmother said that this woman could be used.
Then he wouldn't stand on ceremony.
With things getting tense lately, his original methods were no longer viable.
Cao Jing is both stupid and greedy. If anything goes wrong, it would be perfect to push her out as a scapegoat.
Cao Jing stayed at the Huo family's house for half an hour before coming out, and she looked cheerful when she did.
***
Qin Hanshu spent three days with Zhao Chunmiao and the other two, while Zhou Weiguang only accompanied them for one day.
During this time, Qin Hanshu also kept an eye on Cao Jing and learned that she had taken sick leave from the song and dance troupe.
She doesn't seem sick at all; she clearly just wants to make time for herself.
Qin Hanshu didn't have the energy to deal with it at the moment, so she made an anonymous call to the dance troupe to report Cao Jing for faking illness. After verifying the report, the dance troupe reprimanded her and canceled her sick leave.
Only then did Qin Hanshu feel at ease enough to start preparing for the wedding.
Simple weddings are the trend at this time.
Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang's wedding was exactly the same as Qin Feiyang's, because the organization helped to organize both.
However, Zhou Weiguang also invited some comrades from the military region, so the venue was changed to the garrison area's canteen.
Qin Hanshu was wearing the new clothes Zhao Chunmiao had made for her, with a big red flower on her body, and her long hair was tied up at the back of her head, revealing her smooth and full forehead.
She was already blessed with rosy lips and white teeth, and the red of her entire outfit made her face appear even more radiant.
Perhaps it was because she was in high spirits, but even without dressing up, Qin Hanshu looked more beautiful than usual.
Zhou Weiguang stared intently at Qin Hanshu, his eyes fixed on her, unable to look away.
His comrade joked:
"Look how sticky it is! I've only ever seen him stare at a sand table like that before."
"Sigh, we have to understand him. After all, it's not easy for someone to be interested in him!"
"Yeah, right! With his fierce and clueless attitude, I thought he'd be a bachelor for life!"
"Old Zhou, why don't you just gouge your eyes out and glue them to your wife!"
They seemed to find their words very funny, and burst into laughter after they finished speaking.
The atmosphere was brought to a small climax.
Last time Qin Feiyang got married, a man who looked like a high-ranking official came. He came again today, followed by a large group of people.
The leader stayed longer than last time and spoke for several minutes.
Qin Hanshu quietly inquired and learned that this was the commander of the garrison area, the highest-ranking leader here.
After finishing his speech, the commander spoke a few kind words to Qin Hanshu, and finally patted Zhou Weiguang on the shoulder, his eyes filled with a sense of relief.
