The thought popped into her head, and Zhuo Linmei was terrified by her own madness.
Can she really choose not to marry Wei Mingyuan and just marry any man? What about marrying Lin Yang?
Zhuo Linmei shook her head. She had already given herself to Wei Mingyuan, and that was why Wei Mingyuan had her under his control. If she were to marry Lin Yang, how could Lin Yang not mind?
Zhuo Linmei was confused.
Dai Donglin hadn't returned to his dorm for the past few days, and Qiao Shanshan hadn't seen him. She specially cooked some mung bean soup, intending to send it to Dai Donglin.
When Dai Donglin heard that someone was looking for him, he went out and saw Qiao Shanshan from afar.
He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Shanshan shyly handed over the insulated box, "Brother Dai, thank you for taking care of me all this time. It's been hot lately, so I made some mung bean soup. If you don't mind, please have some!"
Dai Donglin naturally disliked it.
He's a germaphobe and doesn't like eating food that other people have handled, not to mention that Qiao Shanshan speaks in a delicate, sweet voice.
Aside from Chu Yu, if any woman flirted or gave Dai Donglin a flirtatious look, he would think she was frivolous.
Dai Donglin was not happy and said coldly, "I won't drink it, you drink it yourself!"
"Brother Dai! This is just a small token of my appreciation," Qiao Shanshan said anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt Dai Donglin wasn't being welcoming. "Brother Dai, my brother just died, and I have no other relatives in Beijing. I truly treat you like my own brother. I brought you this mung bean soup not for any other reason than to thank you for your care. If you find me unpleasant, I won't stay here and bother you. I'll pack my things and go back to my hometown right away, so your girlfriend won't misunderstand again!"
Qiao Shanshan appeared so magnanimous and sensible that anyone who didn't know better would think Dai Donglin's girlfriend was incredibly immature.
Dai Donglin disliked others slandering Chu Yu.
He said in a serious tone, "Qiao Shanshan, Chu Yu won't misunderstand me. I don't want to hear any bad things about her from your mouth! Also, I'm only taking care of you because you're Qiao Zheng's sister. Everyone in this military region takes care of you. I'm no different from them. You don't need to thank me specially."
Qiao Shanshan was hurt by his heartless words and couldn't help but take a step back.
What's wrong with her? Dai Donglin treats Chu Yu very well. If she works hard, she can replace Chu Yu and become Dai's daughter-in-law, enjoying the power and status of the Dai family and Dai Donglin's love for her.
She can become a successful career woman like Chu Yu.
“Brother Dai, let’s not talk about these hurtful things,” Qiao Shanshan tried to change the subject. “By the way, have you heard? Captain Wei is getting married to Zhuo Linmei, and the marriage application has been approved. I heard that Zhuo Linmei has been arguing with Captain Wei about the bride price. I think she’s so inconsiderate and immature. A woman doesn’t sell herself when she gets married; asking for a bride price is just too unreasonable. A good woman would never make a man feel bad. If I were her, I would definitely live a good life and would never take advantage of my beauty to act tough with a man.”
Qiao Shanshan pursed her lips, feeling that what she said was exceptionally well said.
However, Dai Donglin frowned and said:
"Qiao Shanshan, a bride price is a form of security that a man provides for a woman. Asking for a bride price doesn't mean selling your daughter. If a man can't even earn enough to support himself, how can he provide a good life for his wife and children?"
