Qiao Shanshan? Chu Yu had never heard this name from Dai Donglin before. She knew that Zhuo Linmei didn't mean any harm, but she didn't mind cooperating with Zhuo Linmei's act.
Chu Yu smiled and shook her head, "He never mentioned him to me, so he must be someone unimportant, right?"
This time, Zhuo Linmei was stunned, but she hadn't finished speaking, and clearly unwilling to give up, she pressed on:
"Qiao Shanshan is the younger sister of Dai Donglin's comrade-in-arms. She's been staying with Dai Donglin recently, and they see each other all the time. I heard that Qiao Shanshan even does Dai Donglin's laundry. She's very gentle and considerate. Dai Donglin treats Qiao Shanshan very well too. The two of them are very much in love. If you hadn't come, I would have thought you two had broken up. Qiao Shanshan is Dai Donglin's girlfriend."
After Zhuo Linmei finished speaking, she pretended to cover her mouth, as if she had just realized that she had said something wrong. "I'm sorry, should I not have said those things?"
Chu Yu smiled enigmatically, "Who would know? You're a grown man; you know perfectly well what you should and shouldn't say."
Zhuo Linmei's expression froze; Zhou Chuyu's words were truly impolite.
They really think they're something special!
So what if she graduated from Tsinghua University? So what if she runs a small business? She's trying to make herself look good by saying she's the boss of Hualai Company. Zhuo Linmei has already asked around; Hualai is invested in by a boss from Gangcheng, and it's supposedly an outside company.
Hua Lai has focused on Hong Kong in recent years, and has only filmed two TV series and produced a reality show in mainland China.
In reality, Chu Yu was merely a manager at Hua Lai, occasionally showing his face there.
When Zhuo Linmei's friend told her the news, Zhuo Linmei realized that she had been deceived by Chu Yu. She said that it was impossible for a young girl to study at Tsinghua University, get a degree, and do business at the same time!
How could he possibly be the CEO of Hualai Film and Television Company!
Zhou Chuyu is quite the braggart, but Zhuo Linmei doesn't care anymore. After all, she and Wei Mingyuan are planning to get married, while whether Zhou Chuyu can be with Dai Donglin is still a question.
That Qiao Shanshan is no pushover!
Zhou Chuyu is in for a rough time.
"I'm just trying to be helpful, but that Qiao Shanshan isn't an ordinary person. Whether you want to hear it or not is up to you. Oh, and one more thing, Wei Mingyuan and I are getting married soon. I hope you can really marry Dai Donglin as you wish, since there are so many women who want to marry him, and that Qiao Shanshan is one of them." Zhuo Linmei whispered in Chu Yu's ear, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Chu Yu wasn't one to suffer a loss, so she immediately turned her head and whispered, "Are you one of them too?"
Zhuo Linmei was stunned. Her thoughts had been exposed by Chu Yu in front of everyone, and her face turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't! My boyfriend is Wei Mingyuan, we're getting married, how could I... how could I possibly like Dai Donglin?"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Oh!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Zhuo Linmei was furious. She stomped her feet, wishing she could drag Zhou Chuyu over and beat her up. This Zhou Chuyu never backed down and was always arguing with people, even exposing her little schemes.
Wei Mingyuan walked over, feeling a little strange. "What are you two talking about? Why are you still angry?"
Zhuo Linmei shook her head, hugged Wei Mingyuan's arm, and smiled sweetly, "Mingyuan, we're getting married, so we need to talk about the bride price. Don't go back on your promise."
Wei Mingyuan smiled somewhat awkwardly. He had promised Zhuo Linmei five hundred yuan, but at the time he was just in the mood. He and Zhuo Linmei had just had their first time together, and he was immersed in Zhuo Linmei's tenderness. He would agree to whatever Zhuo Linmei said.
But he wasn't really paying attention.
He doesn't earn much money at his level, and he has to send it home. Where would he get 500 yuan to give to Zhuo Linmei?
Wei Mingyuan really didn't know what to do. Lin Yang told him to be honest with Zhuo Linmei, but Wei Mingyuan chose to lie.
Anyway, Zhuo Linmei's uncle also knows about the two of them.
Wei Mingyuan should submit a marriage report first. Then everyone will know they are getting married. Even if Wei Mingyuan goes back on his word and doesn't give her the five hundred yuan, Zhuo Linmei will still have to marry him.
There was another reason why Wei Mingyuan dared to act first and report later: the two had already had a relationship.
These days, relationships between men and women are no joke. Zhuo Linmei gave him her virginity, so she was no longer a virgin.
Even if Wei Mingyuan didn't give a dowry of 500 yuan, would Zhuo Linmei have the guts to marry someone else?
Doesn't she still have to obediently marry him?
Wei Mingyuan knew that what he was doing was not fair, but he had no money and wanted to get married, so he had no choice but to resort to this tactic. He planned to delay for a few days and then confess to Zhuo Linmei.
Chu Yu walked forward for a while and saw Dai Donglin coming over from afar. Dai Donglin's enthusiasm was genuine.
Chu Yu didn't want to listen to Zhuo Linmei's provocations, so he simply went straight to the point:
Who is Qiao Shanshan?
Dai Donglin was taken aback, then took off his hat, bent it so he could hold it in his hand.
His expression didn't change much, and he explained to her in a very normal tone:
"Did someone say something provocative? I was just about to tell you about Qiao Shanshan."
"So, who exactly is Qiao Shanshan?" Chu Yu asked again.
Dai Donglin told the truth that when he came to the team, he had a comrade-in-arms named Qiao Zheng with whom he got along very well. When the two went out on a mission, Qiao Zheng unfortunately lost a leg in an explosion.
Qiao Zheng was the only son in his family. His family was not well-off, and they relied on the money he earned from serving in the army to send home. The whole family depended on him to support them.
After the accident, Qiao Zheng stayed at the military hospital to recuperate, but unfortunately his injuries were too severe and he could not be saved.
Dai Donglin was dejected for a long time, and only recently has he recovered.
