Chapter 242 Tang Yue goes to Master Nie’s house
242
In the room, Nie Qianwen was complaining to her mother, "Mom, what's wrong with my dad? Doesn't he usually ignore Lai Xiang? Why did he give her so much money and tickets this morning?
I asked my dad for it, but he wouldn’t give it to me.”
Wu Jinghui patted her daughter's hand and said, "Child, why do you always like to compare everything with your cousin? What does our family need from you? Besides, you also said that your father never paid much attention to your cousin.
Giving her something now must be due to your father's considerations. My daughter, please don't meddle in adult matters.
After your dad finishes his work in a few days, Mom will take you to the department store to buy some things."
Nie Qianwen was happy now. She hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly in Wu Jinghui's arms.
Hearing the sound of a car at the door, they stood up, "Mom, could it be that my dad is back? It's only what time now, doesn't he have to go to work?"
Wu Jinghui said nothing and hurried towards the door. Just as they reached the door, it was pushed open from the outside. Nie Youyu said to Tang Yue with a smile, "Come in, Captain Tang."
Wu Jinghui and Nie Qianwen looked unhappy when they saw Tang Yue. However, Wu Jinghui had lived for so many years, so her expression changed very quickly. "Oh, this is Lai Xiang's friend, Comrade Tang Yue.
Come on, please come in. I saw it yesterday, but we didn’t realize it at the time. Only after we came back did we realize that the pretty girl we saw yesterday was actually Lai Xiang’s friend.
You see, if I had known this yesterday, my aunt would have invited you to her house."
The word "guest" is a bit strong. Tang Yue just blinked her big eyes and smiled at Wu Jinghui, "Hello, Chief's wife!" The main point is, I don't understand anything you say.
Nie Qianwen obviously didn't have such good manners. She rolled her eyes at Tang Yue and sneered, as if to say, "What the hell? A country bumpkin dared to enter her house."
Several people enthusiastically ushered Tang Yue into the house. It was already mid-afternoon, and if they were inviting people to dinner, they should have started preparing long ago, but the Nie family was completely devoid of any atmosphere.
Nie Youyu glanced at Wu Jinghui, who understood and immediately said, "Comrade Xiao Tang, please sit here for a while. Auntie will go and cook for you now."
After saying that, he pulled Nie Qianwen into the kitchen.
Nie Qianwen muttered softly, "Mom! What are you doing? I can't cook."
Wu Jinghui ignored her and pulled her into the kitchen. As soon as the curtain was drawn, she said, "Don't think I didn't hear what you said just now. Your father must have asked her to come here for something. Don't ruin your father's business over there.
Mom doesn't need you to work, just stay here and don't mess up your dad's business."
No matter how unwilling Nie Qianwen was, she didn't dare to delay her father's business. She could only stay in the kitchen feeling frustrated.
Tang Yue overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter. She remained unmoved. She had known they were on to something when she arrived. Now she just had to wait and see what Commander Nie was up to.
Lai Xiang poured two glasses of water for the two of them. Nie Youyu looked at Lai Xiang and smiled at her, "Lai Xiang, your friend is here. Go to the kitchen and help your aunt. You can help her with the chores."
Lai Xiang looked at Tang Yue. She didn't want to go. Xiao Yueyue was here, and she was inexplicably worried.
Tang Yue gave Lai Xiang a big smile and said, "Sister Lai, I haven't tasted your cooking yet. Can you cook?"
Lai Xiang blushed. She had never been to the kitchen since she was a child. "Xiao Yueyue, I'm afraid this won't work. I really can't cook. How about I learn it, and then you can try my sister's cooking next time."
"Okay, Sister Lai, go help in the kitchen."
Lai Xiang understood what Xiao Yueyue meant, but even if she were here, she probably wouldn't be able to help. She could only leave. She hoped her uncle wouldn't do anything. Lai Xiang's desire to leave was even stronger.
Nie Youyu stood up and asked, "Captain Tang, are you interested in chatting with me in the study?"
Tang Yue stood up and said, "I'd be happy to do that."
The two of them went upstairs together. Lai Xiang had been standing at the kitchen door. She was very surprised to see Tang Yue follow her uncle to the study. Her two cousins and Wenwen were usually not allowed to enter her uncle's study.
My aunt can only go in when my uncle allows her. How could Xiao Yueyue be invited in?
Entering the study, Nie Youyu's aura suddenly changed. He sat on the chair behind the desk and extended his hand towards Tang Yue, motioning her to sit down.
Tang Yue didn't hesitate and sat down across from the desk. Nie Youyu got straight to the point, "Captain Tang, I think a man who can save five national treasures and capture two snipers in a critical moment wouldn't be so foolish."
Tang Yue sat in her chair, speechless. She knew this man wasn't a good person, but she still wanted to trust her country's vision in selecting talent. However, the reality might disappoint Tang Yue.
"I've heard about Captain Tang's deeds a long time ago. I never thought that the brave soldier others talked about was actually a little girl."
Tang Yue curled her lips, "How could Commander Nie not know that I was only five years old when he was investigating me?"
Nie Youyu leaned forward. "I really thought I was just pretending to be five years old. Captain Xiao Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Yue remained expressionless. She didn't believe this person could possibly know that she had changed inside. Needless to say, they weren't allowed to engage in superstitious thinking now. Even if they pushed it back a few more years, they probably wouldn't have thought of this.
"It doesn't matter what Commander Nie thinks. After all, everyone will only respect the facts, right?"
"Haha, Captain Tang is really sharp-tongued!"
"Commander Nie praised you."
Nie Youyu didn't expect that after he released all the evil energy in his body, the child was not afraid at all and could deal with him with ease.
"Captain Tang, do you know the consequences of offending me?"
Tang Yue ignored the power Nie Youyu displayed towards her. She really didn't take his abilities seriously. She still sat steadily on the chair, blinking her big eyes at Nie Youyu.
"Haha, Commander Nie, hearing what you said, someone who didn't know you would think you were involved in gangs. These words don't sound like something a commander of a military region would say at all."
The expression on Nie Youyu's face paused for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.
"Interesting, really interesting. Captain Tang, you are nothing like I imagined."
"Well, because I wasn't built like Master Nie's head either."
Nie Youyu......
He seemed to understand Tang Yue's meaning. But how could it be possible? He hadn't said anything yet, and this little girl had already made her stance clear?
"Captain Tang, the military district in Kyoto is quite good, and the treatment is good. Do you want me to transfer Captain Tang and his family over here? After all, life in South Island is really too hard."
Nie Youyu had an expression that said, "I'm thinking about you."
Tang Yue stared at Nie Youyu with wide eyes. Nie Youyu thought he had something on Tang Yue. Just as a smug smile appeared on his face, he heard Tang Yue's soft voice.
"Commander Nie, do you have any misunderstandings about enduring hardship?"
Nie Youyu narrowed his eyes. Tang Yue continued, "Did Commander Nie eat the wild game I sent to Sister Lai? Are the pheasants and rabbits from the mountains not tasty? Or are the fish, shrimp, crabs, clams, and abalone from the sea not tasty?"
In the South Island, we could eat all sorts of sea fish until we were tired of it. As for wild game in the mountains, we could really just go and hunt it if we wanted. We couldn't eat meat every day for a month, but that was pretty much it.
Commander Nie, can you eat here in Kyoto?"
Nie Youyu......
Is that what I meant? I meant Kyoto is great. How come Kyoto isn't better than that little place in the South Island?
After Tang Yue finished speaking, she seemed to still be savoring the delicacies of South Island. Nie Youyu's face darkened. This girl was really cunning. Had he been fooled by this little girl?
"Captain Tang, I think you should know why I invited you to my house."
Who knew that Tang Yue could silence Nie Youyu with just one sentence? He had been a leader for so many years, and he had never been silenced like this before.
