Chapter 224: Clarity (Page 1/2)
Su Yingzi smiled and nodded, "This sashimi is very fresh and sweet." After saying that, she picked up another piece with chopsticks.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Lin Man advised with a smile.
"Yeah, if you like it, eat more!
Su Yingzi didn't expect that Lin Man would deliberately test her with a dish of sashimi. If she had known, she would never touch that sashimi today even if she was beaten to death.
Huo Li seemed to have figured out something. Qingci and his wife seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about Wen Jing's girlfriend.
Yang Huiling didn't think much about it. If Su Yingzi liked to eat, let her eat. She didn't have time to take care of her. There were so many dishes on the table. She might as well eat a few more bites of delicious food with that time.
Although Huo Wenjing was worried that Su Yingzi would have diarrhea, he didn't continue to persuade her because he saw that she really loved eating. At worst, if she really got sick and had diarrhea, he would just take it to her.
After dinner, Lin Man pulled Yang Huiling aside to chat, "Aunt Four, where is Yingzi from?"
"She, Sakurako, is from Kyoto."
"Why can't I hear the Beijing accent?"
"She's Commander Su's biological daughter. She was stolen at birth and wasn't found until three years ago, so she doesn't have an accent."
"Commander Su?"
"Yes, Deputy Commander Su Kangnan."
Now Lin Man is even more suspicious of Su Yingzi, but this suspicion cannot prove that she is really a spy. What should she do?
How about giving her some hallucinogens and then hypnotizing her? But there were so many people at home, it was very noisy, and there were only two bedrooms, so it was really a bit tight.
Seeing that Lin Man didn't say anything, Yang Huiling thought she was jealous of Su Yingzi's background and that her father was a deputy division commander.
"Xiao Man, don't underestimate my Yingzi because she's young. She's quite capable."
"Oh, she's good at that?"
"She has a great talent for languages, both in English and Russian. The director of the pharmaceutical factory would ask her to translate the manuals for imported machines that he couldn't understand.
Don't underestimate her because she works in a factory. She's actually quite comfortable sitting in an office there!" Yang Huiling said with a smug look on her face.
It turns out he works in a pharmaceutical factory. There is only one pharmaceutical factory in Beijing. How did this person get in?
She is very good at English and Russian, but I guess her best language is Sakura Mandarin!
Lin Man didn't know why, but her sixth sense was that there was something wrong with Su Yingzi.
But there was no conclusive evidence, and she wasn't going to tell her grandfather directly.
If this Su Yingzi is really a spy, then their Huo family may face disaster, and she must investigate this Su Yingzi.
Su Yingzi and Huo Wenjing are dating. Are they trying to get some secrets from grandpa?
She really didn't know how to get in touch with Su Yingzi more. At this moment, she had an idea and thought of her baby An An who was about to celebrate his first birthday.
Since you are treating us to a meal, you might as well invite Su Yingzi over as well.
So she said, "Aunt Si, my An'an will be one year old on the 21st. We plan to set up a few tables in the backyard and invite our family to have a simple gathering. If Su Yingzi is free, please bring her to dinner!"
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely tell her. By the way, is the first birthday party scheduled for noon or evening?"
"In the evening, everyone has more time. Seven o'clock is more suitable for dinner."
"Okay, then we'll come straight over after get off work."
Anyway, she didn't have classes that afternoon. If there was really something that needed to be dealt with, she could just inform her boss in advance, and leaving get off work two hours early should not be a problem.
"Aunt Si, how old is Yingzi this year?"
Yang Huiling smiled awkwardly, then said, "Yingzi is 23 years old, three years older than Wenjing. They say a woman three years older than a man is a treasure, and my Wenjing is just getting a piece of that treasure by marrying her."
It was rare for a lesbian to be unmarried at the age of 23 in this era. Could it be that Su Yingzi had been married before? Thinking of this, Lin Man couldn't help but frowned, but out of politeness she didn't continue to ask.

Seeing that Lin Man didn't continue to ask, Yang Huiling took the initiative to talk about Su Yingzi's situation: "Yingzi has been busy with her studies before. Maybe it's fate that hasn't arrived yet. She has never met someone she likes, so she is still unmarried at this age.
But my son Wenjing likes her very much. He says she is pretty and has a good personality, and he doesn’t care about her age at all.
Originally, your uncle and I were against it. After all, Su Yingzi is three years older than Wen Jing. But since Deputy Commander Su came to propose marriage in person, we couldn't continue to oppose it..."
"Oh, when does Wen Jing plan to marry her?" Lin Man asked casually.
"Let's wait until the old man agrees. We came here today specifically to bring her to see the old man."
Will Grandpa agree? It's hard to say. I'll go find Grandpa later and see what he says.
Lin Man was thinking about how to tell her grandfather about this later. Yang Huiling sighed and said, "Alas...Grandpa said earlier that Wen Jing is still young and asked them to get engaged first and there is no rush to get married.
Su Yingzi also said that they should get engaged first and there's no rush to get married. No one is in a hurry, but my Wen Jing is the most anxious.
Huo Wenjing is only 20 years old, barely old enough to be of legal age. What's the rush? Is he thinking about sleeping with a woman?
Lin Man looked at Huo Wenjing and Su Yingzi. Why did she see a hint of impatience and disgust in Su Yingzi's eyes?
It seems that there is really something wrong with Su Yingzi. No, I must have a good talk with grandpa about this matter to prevent the Huo family from being framed.
As soon as Fourth Uncle and the others left, Lin Man asked Liao Sijie to take the two children to play in their room, while she stayed to chat with Grandpa.
"Grandpa, is Wen Jing really going to marry that Su Yingzi?"
Huo Li put down the handkerchief in his hand and looked at Lin Man curiously, "Xiao Man, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa, what kind of person would get calluses on the base of their right hand?"
“Soldiers who do hard labor, practice martial arts for a long time, or handle guns tend to develop calluses on the base of their right hands.
Why are you and Qingci making sashimi? I never saw you eating like this on the island. Are you suspecting she's a spy from the Sakura Country?"
Lin Man didn't expect that her grandfather would observe so carefully. If her grandfather had noticed it, would she have noticed it too if Su Yingzi was a spy?
"Grandpa, her name is Su Yingzi. Cherry blossoms were introduced from our country to Sakura Country, where they became the national flower. Girls in Sakura Country all like to have the character 'Yakura' in their names."
Huo Li frowned and said slowly, "We can't just say someone is a spy from Sakura Country based on a name.
If she really was a spy, why would she choose such a conspicuous name?"
Lin Man thought for a moment and replied, "Grandpa, there's a saying that goes, 'The light is darkest under the lamp.'" Besides, Yingzi and Yingzi have the same pinyin, so it's not certain she's deliberately confusing people.
Grandpa, didn’t you notice? Su Yingzi looked so happy while eating sashimi. If you said she liked fish, she rarely ate the spicy boiled fish in the middle…”
Huo Li frowned. After hearing what his eldest grandson's wife said, he really doubted that Su Yingzi was a little abnormal.
"Qingci, what do you think about this?"
"It's hard to say. Su Yingzi is the daughter that Deputy Commander Su found in recent years, so this matter is suspicious.
How did she find her child who had been missing for twenty years? And she is three years older than Wen Jing, I think at least four or five years older..."
“…”
Huo Li listened to the couple analyzing their conversation, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He thought, could it be that Su Yingzi was really a spy?
But they didn't have sufficient proof that she had a problem. If they casually reported the matter and she was found to be innocent after investigation, the only ones who would suffer would be their Huo family.
This matter needs to be thought about carefully and considered in the long run...
