Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Let's talk about it step by step." Zhao Pengcheng pushed the gift he was holding in front of Jiang Xun, "This is a little gift from me, please accept it first."
"What are you doing?" Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows. "I don't want to receive gifts without merit. Please take the things back."
"Little brother, you look at it, it's not good for you to be like this..."
Yuan Yueqin felt inexplicably disgusted when she saw her husband acting like this in public.
A few years ago, Zhao Pengcheng took her to meet some big bosses at the port, and he was like this at that time.
Yuan Yueqin really didn't know if she was crazy at the time. She actually thought he was very charming and adept at business.
Looking back at it now, it really is... disgusting.
Ye Li poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of Zhao Pengcheng: "Please drink some water."
"Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law."
...
...
Ye Li twitched her lips, but didn't say anything. She turned around and saw Yuan Yueqin was still standing there. She handed her another glass of water and said, "Sit down."
"I'm afraid you'll dirty your bed by sitting on it." Yuan Yueqin said.
"It's okay, please sit down." Since she was allowed into the house, Ye Li had to entertain her with the spirit of a hostess.
Although he knew about the past between her and Jiang Xun, and knew that Huang Xiuxiu had instigated her to interfere, Ye Li still decided to treat her with a calm attitude.
It was not because she was afraid of Yuan Yueqin, but because she did not want to intensify the hidden conflict.
If Yuan Yueqin can always behave herself, Ye Li doesn't mind treating her politely.
If Yuan Yueqin can't do that, then that's the extent of her politeness.
"Thank you, Ye Li." Yuan Yueqin sat down.
Ye Li sat down next to her. She was not in a hurry to cook. She wanted to hear what news Zhao Pengcheng brought to Jiang Xun and what he wanted Jiang Xun to do.
Seeing that the two people were unable to refuse the gift, Ye Li said, "Zhao Pengcheng, right? Since we are neighbors in the same courtyard, you don't have to be so polite. If you have any problems, just tell Jiang Xun directly. If he can help, he will certainly help. If not, you have given him a gift, and he can't do anything about it. What do you think?"
Ye Li made it clear, and Zhao Pengcheng could no longer insist.
If you think about it carefully, what they said makes sense. If they don't want to do something for you, they won't do it for you even if you give them a gift.
"It's like this. Hou Xiaochuan is now the captain of the Customs Anti-Smuggling Team. I heard that he has a good life. He has a girlfriend who works in a military compound." Zhao Pengcheng said.
Jiang Xun nodded slightly.
Later, Hou Xiaochuan did not write to him or contact him again.
He didn't know what happened in between.
"Please continue." He wanted to know more about his comrades, and this comrade was also his old friend.
After asking this question, Jiang Xun suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong in the words.
"I heard? Why did you hear?"
Zhao Pengcheng smiled and said, "That's right. Actually... we are not very familiar with each other. We have only met a few times in business dealings, Captain Jiang... I came here this time to ask you to do me a favor... You see, you and Yueqin grew up in the same courtyard, and I am Yueqin's man, so we can be considered neighbors..."
Seeing Jiang Xun's face getting worse and worse, Yuan Yueqin hurriedly stopped him: "Zhao Pengcheng, what on earth are you doing? This is cheating, do you understand?"
"Don't say anything." Zhao Pengcheng saw that Yuan Yueqin actually said that, not helping him, but trying to sabotage him. His face darkened and he scolded her, "What do you have to do with what the old man is saying? You guys with long hair and short knowledge, just listen."
Yuan Yueqin was scolded and looked a little embarrassed.
"What you said is wrong. Zhao Pengcheng, this is a new era and a new society. Please give women the respect they deserve!" Jiang Xun said quietly.
"Yes, yes, you are right. After all, he has served in the army, so his awareness is higher than that of us ordinary people." Zhao Pengcheng started to flatter.
Yuan Yueqin chose Zhao Pengcheng at first and was very proud of herself in front of others for a while.
Especially when Zhao Xingmei came to argue with her, she proudly praised how good and promising Zhao Pengcheng was, which really hurt the Jiang family.
But what Zhao Pengcheng said just now really made her lose face.
Yuan Yueqin didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Xun. She just lowered her head and drank the water in the cup silently.
While drinking, I was thinking.
When I entered the room just now, I saw only two cups in the room. Are these Ye Li and Jiang Xun’s cups?
Is this cup that Jiang Xun used to drink water every day?
Although the bed under me is a little worn out, it is really soft.
The bed was so soft, and the sheets still had the scent of laundry detergent. The smell of this scent seemed very similar to the smell of Jiang Xun's white shirt.
In the dead of night, were Jiang Xun and Ye Li tossing and turning in bed, making love?
As she thought about it... Yuan Yueqin lost herself in thought...
The smell in this room is so pleasant, and it's exactly the same as the smell on Jiang Xun.
After so many years, he still smells fresh and clean.
Where is Zhao Pengcheng?
Yuan Yueqin thought about it and realized that apart from the smell of cigarettes, he also smelled of alcohol. Yes, in the summer, he also smelled of sweat, and in the winter, he also smelled of feet...
The more she thought about it, the more disgusted Yuan Yueqin felt.
Comparing goods will lead to throwing them away; comparing people will lead to death.
This statement is absolutely correct.
When Yuan Yueqin looked at Zhao Pengcheng again, the disgust in her eyes was revealed without any concealment.
Ye Li observed that Yuan Yueqin's face had a lot of expressions, but he didn't know that her mind was already going through a lot of twists and turns.
"What... is wrong with you?" she asked.
One sentence woke the dreamer up.
The person sitting next to her was the hostess of this house, Jiang Xun's wife, and the person who married here to replace her after she gave up.
Realizing this, she felt an indescribable feeling of displeasure in her heart.
"Nothing." Yuan Yueqin shook her head. "This water is very thirst-quenching. Can I...have another glass?"
"good."
When Ye Li stood up to pour water, the conversation between Jiang Xun and Zhao Pengcheng came to an end.
Zhao Pengcheng revealed the real reason for his visit: "Captain Jiang, you have such a good relationship with Hou Xiaochuan. Could you please help me pass on a message? Just say that this thing is yours, or your friend's, and ask him to spare me! I promise that you will definitely benefit from it, and I also promise that I will never do it again next time."
He smuggled some good stuff from the southern port and was seized by customs.
These days he found out that Jiang Xun had a relationship with Hou Xiaochuan from the customs, so he wanted Jiang Xun to help him.
This couldn't be said outside, so he tried every means to get into Jiang Xun's house and talk to him privately.
"You don't have to waste your time here. Take your things and leave!" Jiang Xun said coldly, "I can't help you. I haven't contacted Hou Xiaochuan for a long time. I'm afraid I've disappointed you."
"Wait, you've been together for so many years, you can try..."
Jiang Xun interrupted him: "No need to try, I don't want to try. Anyway, I can't help you with this, and I won't help you. Is this clear? If you understand, then please."
He hated Zhao Pengcheng's deliberate lying. If it weren't for him mentioning Hou Xiaochuan, he would never have allowed him to step into this room.
"No discussion?"
"No."
Zhao Pengcheng came here happily but left in a bad mood.
He bent down to pick up his things and was about to go out when he heard Yuan Yueqin talking to Jiang Xun: "Don't be like him! He is a rough guy who only cares about money. He was wrong in this matter and he made things difficult for you. Please don't take it to heart. I'm sorry to have disturbed you for so long..."
Zhao Pengcheng, who had come here with high hopes and was about to leave in disappointment, heard Yuan Yueqin actually say this to him, and in front of Jiang Xun.
At that moment, the man's dignity made him furious, and the burning anger could not control his behavior, so he turned around abruptly and slapped Yuan Yueqin hard in the face.
