"Political Commissar, my wife has passed away. When would you like to start arranging my wedding with Qianqian?"
Sun Lei patted Huo Jun on the shoulder: "Huo Jun, I know you're a good kid, and I'd be more than happy to have you as my son-in-law, but we can't rush this."
Seeing that Lu Huai'an was about to take advantage of him again, how could Huo Jun not be anxious?
"Political Commissar, it's me—"
Huo Jun's lack of tact displeased Sun Lei.
He frowned slightly: "I'm doing this for your own good. Your wife just died, and you're already making a big fuss about marrying my daughter. What will people think?"
"We know your wife died of illness, but what about the others? Will they believe it?"
Huo Jun pursed his lips and remained silent.
Sun Lei added, "Also, it's not that I'm unwilling to agree to your proposal, but Qianqian doesn't want to marry you either."
"Political Commissar?" Huo Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.
“Sisi is my youngest daughter. She has been spoiled since childhood and has a high opinion of herself. You are a divorced man from a poor background, so she is naturally unwilling to marry you.”
"I had to plead with her to give you a chance, but what you did!" Sun Lei sneered, "You're late for the movie before anything's even happened. How can you expect Qianqian to marry you with such a perfunctory attitude?"
"Political Commissar, it's me—"
Huo Jun opened his mouth to explain, but Sun Lei patted him on the shoulder: "We're father-in-law and son-in-law, how could I not know your character? You must have been held up by something. But Huo Jun, you have to know that Qianqian is different from us men. She's a delicate little girl who needs to be coaxed and pampered."
"I understand, Political Commissar."
“Why call me political commissar? Call me uncle!” Sun Lei said, feigning a stern face.
"These days, whenever you have free time, take Qianqian out for walks and strolls. Once your relationship has developed and this storm has passed, marriage will be a natural progression, right?"
Sun Lei's words were all in Huo Jun's best interest, and Huo Jun couldn't find any fault with them, so he nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Huo Jun got up and left.
No sooner had he left than Yue Xinyi and her daughter Sun Qian entered the study.
"Dad! I won't marry that coal brute!"
Sun Qian was shouting loudly, and Sun Lei's face darkened. He snapped, "Shut up!"
Huo Jun hasn't gone far yet; what if someone hears them?
"Mom, look at Dad, I told you he was pushing me into a fire pit!" Sun Qian shook Yue Xinyi's arm.
Yue Xinyi patted her hand, signaling her to calm down.
"Old Sun, what are you really thinking? Are you really going to marry our Qianqian off to that dark-skinned, mountain-like big guy?"
Yue Xinyi spoke softly, but her furrowed brows revealed her dissatisfaction with the marriage.
"A man's appearance is the least important thing."
"Huo Jun is of average appearance and average ability, but he looks like Chief Huo."
Yue Xinyi was startled: "You mean—"
Halfway through her sentence, Yue Xinyi remembered something and asked doubtfully, "They're not that similar, only two or three points. Besides, there are plenty of people in the world who look alike. That doesn't prove that Huo Jun and Chief Huo are related!"
Would I do something I'm not sure about?
The little boy Huo Jun rescued on the train was Sun Lei's most beloved grandson.
When Sun Lei went to pick up Huo Jun, he was stunned when he first saw him.
There's no other reason than that they look so alike.
He intervened in Huo Jun's demotion, gave him credit for cracking down on human traffickers, paved the way for him, and transferred him to Beijing. This was not out of appreciation for him.
Rather, it is.
They have other plans.
Even so, Sun Qian was still dissatisfied. She pouted and said, "Dad, can't you change the person? I feel nauseous just looking at him."
"Sisi, Dad won't harm you. Don't you know what the Huo family's situation is like? If you marry into the Huo family and give birth to a son, everything in the Huo family will be yours in the future."
“You need to understand why you stand out from the crowd and everyone fawns over you! It's because your dad, me, is a political commissar! Even if it's just a deputy one!”
"Dad, I understand." Sun Qian's voice was muffled, clearly unwilling, but she understood the implications and didn't throw a tantrum.
Sun Lei nodded in satisfaction.
"Sisi, don't worry. You're the one I've loved since I was a child. How could I not love you? Just keep Huo Jun hanging for now. Before, I only had one choice, but now I have more than one."
......
Meanwhile, Su Wantang also returned home.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, she hesitated.
I don't know how to bring this up with Lu Huai'an later.
As for concealing it, Su Wantang never even considered it.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong; it was just that she was unconsciously worried because she cared about the relationship.
"Wantang, come on, let's go into the courtyard."
Lu Zhentian leaned close to Su Wantang's ear and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa will take care of everything. Grandpa will talk to you about this."
"No, Grandpa, I'll tell you myself."
Lu Huai'an will be angry when he hears the news, which Su Wantang can accept. However, if he calms down and cannot understand her, then perhaps they are not suitable for each other.
She likes him.
but.
Su Wantang's life shouldn't be about compromising and making concessions for a man.
"Lu Huai'an, open the door, I have something to tell you." Su Wantang took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
