Su Yan remained unmoved, leaving Tian Yu deeply disappointed. "Alright, thank you, comrade."
His request was rather presumptuous, so it's normal that people wouldn't agree.
“I noticed you were reading on the train, so you must be a studious person. You might want to switch your Western medicine books to Chinese medicine books in the future.”
After Su Yan finished speaking, she didn't say another word to him until she got off the bus.
She finished eating the steamed buns and went straight to sleep.
However, she was genuinely a little worried that Jiang Jingxing would forget to pick her up.
If she doesn't see anyone after getting off the bus, she will never believe his lies again!
Meanwhile, Jiang Jingxing, whom she was thinking about, was still at home.
The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat heavy.
A middle-aged couple sat opposite Jiang Jingxing.
The middle-aged man, dressed in a military green uniform, with deep black eyes and an aura of integrity, sat upright on the sofa, his sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Jingxing.
The middle-aged woman exudes elegance and grace. In her forties, no signs of aging are visible on her face, and she radiates a strong sense of superiority with every gesture.
They were Jiang Jingxing's parents—Jiang Changzheng and Qin Qin.
At this moment, neither of them looked too good.
"I'm trying to get you married for your own good, so why are you so resistant?" Qin Qin said with a headache, "I've introduced you to several girls from good families, but you don't like any of them. What kind of girl do you like?"
A mocking glint flashed in Jiang Jingxing's eyes as he sneered, "After marriage, you'll be just like the two of you. In public, you'll be a model couple with a great relationship, the envy of everyone, but in private, you'll hide in your room and not even dare to argue loudly, for fear of being discovered by others?"
"Bang!"
"Jiang Jingxing, listen to the nonsense you're spouting this time!" Jiang Changzheng slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face extremely ugly as he pointed at Jiang Jingxing's nose and cursed, "How old are you this year? Still not married? Do you want the Jiang family line to die out?"
"Whether I get married or not is my business, what does it have to do with you? Besides, Grandpa is still in a coma, and you still have the mind to care about my marriage? Do you have any conscience?"
Without giving them a chance to speak, Jiang Jingxing continued to retort, "This is the last time I'm making this clear: I will not accept the blind dates you arrange. If you still act arbitrarily when I come back next time, then I will take my grandfather out to live and will never set foot in the military compound again."
He left those words behind, got up, and strode away without looking back.
"Jiang Jingxing, you get back here right now!"
"Jingxing, what are you doing out so late?"
Jiang Changzheng and Qin Qin's expressions were extremely grim at this moment!
Qin Qin couldn't help but complain, "It's all your fault! Our son finally came home, why did you talk to him so harshly? Now look what happened, you've made him leave again!"
"You're just blaming me! Wasn't it your meddling? Don't you bear any responsibility?" Jiang Changzheng retorted indignantly.
"What do you mean I'm meddling in other people's business? Jiang Changzheng, that's going too far!"
"How did I go too far?!"
...
The two started arguing, neither willing to give in!
A moment later, the sound of shattered glass hitting the floor came from the living room.
The argument grew louder and louder.
After Jiang Jingxing came out, he sat in the car and listened quietly as the noise in the living room went from intense to quiet.
He pinched his brow wearily and glanced at the time.
10:05.
After calming himself down, he immediately started the engine and headed to the train station.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Jiang Tuan! Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the driver's side window.
Lu Qiang, Grandpa Jiang's bodyguard, rolled down the car window.
"What is it?" Jiang Jingxing asked casually.
Lu Qiang took a deep breath and organized his thoughts before saying, "The old commander has reacted to the antidote that Mr. Jue has newly developed. The old commander called your name, and Mr. Jue wants you to go back and take a look."
Jiang Jingxing frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But I have to go to the train station to pick someone up now. If I'm late, I'll be late, and I can't keep her waiting."
“It’s nothing, I’ll go pick him up for you. The old commander is worried about you, go up and keep him company first,” Lu Qiang said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision, pushing open the car door and getting out.
"She's a pretty young girl, around eighteen years old, named Su Yan, from Lanzhou. Remember to ask for her identity, and when you pick her up, please apologize to her for me," he instructed seriously.
Lu Qiang was instantly surprised when he heard that it was a girl.
Their Commander Jiang has always been aloof from women, so it's unbelievable that he's going to the train station to pick up a young lady today!
"Hey kid, what's going on?" Lu Qiang asked with a knowing smile.
He was older than Jiang Jingxing, but his position was lower.
Jiang Jingxing explained without changing his expression, "She is Su Yu's sister. She was the one who found the ginseng and Chinese medicinal herbs that were sent back from Lan City. She came to Beijing this time just to check on Commander Xiao's situation. She thinks that the old commander shouldn't be consuming so much ginseng by himself, so she came to help me investigate the mole."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiang's smile vanished, and his tone became serious: "Jing Xing, you should know that Commander Xiao's affairs are classified. How could you tell others so casually? Even if she is Su Yu's sister!"
"She didn't know the old commander's identity."
Lu Qiang sighed, patted his shoulder and said, "You need to be careful. I'll go pick her up first. By the way, should I bring her directly to the compound later?"
Jiang Jingxing replied without hesitation, "No, arrange for her to stay at the guesthouse near the compound. Let her wash up first, and I'll go find her later."
After saying that, he turned around and went home.
If Su Yan comes to the compound, those two in the house will definitely check her household registration. They'll probably find out about three generations of the Su family by the end of the night.
He wouldn't allow anyone to disturb her peace.
Lu Qiang didn't dare to delay, got in the car and stepped on the gas to head to the train station.
...
11:15.
Su Yan struggled to get off the train.
The moment she stepped out, she felt like she could breathe freely again.
Fortunately, she didn't have much luggage, otherwise she wouldn't have known it would have been knocked off during the disembarkation process.
"Su Yan! Are there any female comrades named Su Yan?"
A loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Su Yan, who was called out, reflexively looked in the direction of the sound.
The person calling her name was standing outside the exit; he was a dark-skinned soldier who kept calling her name.
She looked around, but sure enough, she didn't see that familiar figure.
Su Yan immediately went over.
"Hello, I am Su Yan. Did Jiang Jingxing send you to pick me up?"
Lu Qiang's mouth was dry from shouting, and when he looked down, he met the little girl's delicate face.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, Commander Jiang was at home with his grandfather and couldn't make it to pick you up, so he sent me. He asked me to apologize on his behalf. Considering how filial Commander Jiang is, Comrade Su shouldn't blame him for breaking his promise, right?"
Su Yan: "..." What do you think I should say?
