Chapter 54: Entering the House, Getting Parents to Pay, and Becoming a Son-in-law
"Si Ye." Lin Wanqing wanted to pull her hand out of his big palm.
Si Ye's grip tightened again, "Don't move, they're all watching."
The cafeteria is now the place with the heaviest flow of people, and it is also the place where any disturbance spreads the fastest.
Lin Wanqing was taken by Si Ye for a walk around the cafeteria. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Wanqing, some were surprised, some were surprised, and some were envious and jealous.
"Is Lin Wanqing in love with this officer?"
"Then why do you say Lin Wanqing seduced her uncle? With such a handsome and powerful man, who would be interested in Zhang Guoliang?"
"Yes, and Lin Wanqing has always wanted the Zhang family to move out, saying that it's inconvenient to live together. If she really wanted to have something happen with her eldest uncle, why would she be so anxious to let them go?"
"So, there's definitely something going on here, it's not simple!"
Only then did Lin Wanqing understand Si Ye's intention.
He wanted to support her.
"Thank you." Lin Wanqing thanked him sincerely, and her following words also came from the heart.
"I know you want to help me, but I shouldn't be in a situation where I need to find a better man to silence the gossip. It's as if I..." Lin Wanqing thought about the wording for a moment, "I don't know if you can understand, as if my value can only be highlighted by a man."
Si Ye certainly understood how proud Lin Wanqing was and that she should have her own soul.
"I'm sorry for being rude." Si apologized sincerely and looked at Lin Wanqing nervously.
He was afraid that Lin Wanqing would be angry, and also afraid that this would alienate her.
He was such a fool to screw up like that.
Lin Wanqing smiled at him, "But I still want to thank you, and please continue to do me a favor."
Si Ye nodded eagerly, "What help?"
Lin Wanqing smiled, "Helping some people move."
Originally, Lin Wanqing wanted to give the Zhang family some time to find a house so that they wouldn't have to sleep on the streets, but the Zhang family kept making endless noises, which made Lin Wanqing's patience run out. She really didn't want to bother with them anymore.
"Okay." Si Ye nodded and sat face to face with Lin Wanqing. He didn't know what the food tasted like when it entered his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Lin Wanqing, and he looked completely bored.
Lin Wanqing felt a little embarrassed by that look, and moved her body, only to find that Si was still looking at her in the same way.
She had no choice but to wave her hand in front of his face, "Hey, Si Ye, what are you thinking about?"
I miss you, Si Ye complained in his heart, his eyes twitched, but he also woke up. He was actually staring at her in a daze just now.
"Why don't you believe those rumors?" Lin Wanqing asked.
Si Ye lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Why should I believe it?"
Lin Wanqing looked at him and smiled happily.
It is a very happy thing to be trusted unconditionally by others.
Wan Jiajia had been sitting behind the two of them, laughing so hard that her mouth was almost reaching her ears. Chen Lie came uninvited with a bowl of food in his hand.
Wan Jiajia then immediately sat up straight and acted like a lady.
Chen Lie is an instructor and a cultured person, so she certainly cannot give him a rude impression.
These past few days, when Wan Jiajia interacted with Chen Lie, she acted as ladylike as possible, eating every bite in small increments.
Seeing Wan Jiajia eating shyly, Chen Lie didn't expose her, but joked, "It seems you're not very hungry today."
Wan Jiajia was practically starving, but to save her image, she said with a tight smile, "I don't eat much."
She now wishes she could swallow a cow!
How could a girl who knows exactly where the delicious food is in the city not eat enough?
Chen Lie said, "My mom sent me some beef jerky from my hometown. I'll give you some to try later."
Wan Jiajia's eyes lit up immediately, "Okay!"
Although Chen Lie is an instructor and looks like a bookish person, he is actually a real grassland man. He learned to ride a horse before he could run since birth. He drinks wine like water, and even if the whole regiment combined to get him drunk, they still can't get him drunk.
But his gentle and refined appearance gave many people the wrong impression.
Wan Jiajia is one of them. She always thought that Chen Lie was an honest man. How could an honest man be an instructor?
It's like eight hundred minds and honeycomb coals.
After dinner, Wan Jiajia followed Chen Lie to their regiment headquarters to get beef jerky.
Chen Lie directly filled a large bag with a few bottles of barley wine and kumis.
"This is for your dad. Let your uncle try it." Chen Lie said, "They are all homemade. They are not worth much."
Wan Jiajia felt a little embarrassed, "There are so many things..."
"Here, take it. Next time you make something delicious, treat me." Chen Lie said with a smile, "Shall I take you back to the office?"
There were so many things that it would be difficult for Wan Jiajia to carry them all by herself, so she nodded.
Chen Lie added, "You walked to work, right? Then I'll take you and your things home?"
Wan Jiajia thought about it, then nodded, "Okay."
She felt that Chen Lie was a man who spoke and acted properly, and praised him in her heart. Seeing Chen Lie's sincere expression, she added, "Thank you so much for troubling you."
"It's okay, you're welcome." Chen Lie smiled, a gleam in his eyes.
In the afternoon, the news of Lin Wanqing and Si Ye holding hands in the cafeteria spread like wildfire to every corner. Just as Si Ye expected, it successfully overshadowed the rumors about Zhang Guodong and Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing, who was at the center of the storm, remained calm as ever. She accepted many inquiring gazes and looked like she was doing what she was supposed to do. When the time came, she packed up her things and walked out of the office.
Si Ye and a few of his brothers were waiting for her at the office door. When they saw her, they all shouted in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Lin Wanqing had no choice but to say helplessly: "Hurry up and tell them to stop yelling."
Si Ye turned back to look at his brothers, who immediately understood, "Okay, sister-in-law!"
Si Ye spread his hands, "I can't control them."
Lin Wanqing walked towards him and sighed, "I'm just worried that it will affect you in the future."
"What influence do I have?" Si Ye followed Lin Wanqing and stared at her earlobe. "I'm a big man."
Lin Wanqing glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said, "It will affect your future partner-hunting."
"It won't affect me at all." Si Ye forced himself to look away, fearing that he would be caught by Lin Wanqing.
"Wanqing, wait!" Just as the two were about to leave, Wan Jiajia shouted anxiously and ran out of the office building carrying a big bag of things.
"Here, this is the beef jerky sent by Instructor Chen's family. They asked me to share some with you." Wan Jiajia directly divided the beef jerky in the bag into two portions.
Si Ye and the men behind him all glared.
Tsk, they value women over friends. Why don’t you give them any? It would be nice to let them have a taste.
Just as I was cursing that bastard in my heart, the real culprit came.
His military uniform was crisp and stylish, unlike his brothers whose uniforms were wrinkled like pickled cabbage lumps, and it was obvious that they had been ironed with an electric iron.
The leather shoes on his feet were shiny, and Si even felt that they looked familiar. Aren't they his?
And the hair is combed so that each strand is clearly distinguishable.
Everyone looked at Chen Lie in unison. Chen Lie uncomfortably put his fist to his lips and coughed softly, "Oh, they're all here."
In front of Wan Jiajia, they really didn't know what to say and could only express their anger with their eyes.
We didn't give them any beef jerky to eat, and they remembered this grudge.
Si Ye scanned Chen Lie from head to toe and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chen Lie pointed at Wan Jiajia and said, "Send the female comrade home."
After saying that, he reached out and took the thing from Wan Jiajia's hand. "I wanted to thank Comrade Wan Jiajia for taking us to such a delicious restaurant, so I asked my mother to send some beef jerky from my hometown."
Si Ye sneered inwardly. Sending something from Inner Mongolia wouldn't take at least ten days or half a month to arrive, and even specially? How could it be so fast? How treacherous!
"Oh, why are you so polite?" Wan Jiajia blushed.
"It's not nice to let a woman carry so many things. I'll go and see them off." Chen Lie smiled proudly at Si Ye and the other brothers, then turned and looked at Wan Jiajia gently and said, "Let's go. Comrade Wan Jiajia, please lead the way."
Wan Jiajia nodded and looked at Chen Lie with bright eyes.
Si finally realized that not everyone can be the instructor. Chen Lie had planned to get acquainted with the instructor first, and then naturally enter the family, and finally convince his parents and become the son-in-law. He was really pressing forward step by step.
The plan is so well thought out that one has to admire it.
Lin Wanqing also figured out what was going on. Wan Jiajia just skipped away with Chen Lie, smiling all over her face.
I wish them happiness.
"Let's go too." Si Ye turned to look at Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing nodded.
She had to go to the nursery to pick up Zhang Zhijie first. Zhang Zhijie originally wanted to make a fuss, but he was surrounded by a group of burly soldiers. He immediately stopped crying and followed Lin Wanqing home obediently.
This kid just loves to play tricks!
When Lin Wanqing led her people towards the Lin Mansion, people would greet her from time to time, glancing at Si Ye, wanting to take the opportunity to join in the fun.
"Wanqing, who is this? What are you doing?"
