Chapter 109: "Chu Zhiqing, do you believe in past lives?"
The dream was so real that Luo Yiping couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in bed. The moment he saw Zhao Jiayun, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
The next day, when Zhao Jiayun just woke up, Luo Yiping suddenly asked, "Did you fall into the river by yourself?"
Zhao Jiayun was stunned for a second, then came to his senses in an instant, "What? How is that possible? I can't even swim. If I had really fallen in, I would have died if you hadn't saved me."
Luo Yiping noticed something from her actions, he just smiled and said nothing.
The idea of giving up on Chu Sangning suddenly came to his mind again. Luo Yiping ran to the Jiang family every few days without saying a word. He just squatted at the gate of the Jiang family like a loyal pug.
A married man ran to the Jiang family, staring at Chu Sangning. The people in the village did not dare to confront Lin Xiuzhi in person because of her shrewish appearance, but they dared to grumble at the Luo family.
"Yiping, my wife, you have to control your man."
"I see him not coming home every day. He would go to Jiang's house after dinner. This man, if you can't control him, will be like a cat that has stolen some fish, getting more and more addicted each time."
Zhao Jiayun was squatting at home washing the sheets. When she heard the gossiping old ladies talking, she didn't get angry. She snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic tone, "How can Chu Zhiqing be interested in Luo Yiping?"
"That's true. Chu Zhiqing and the youngest son of the Jiang family are in a good relationship. From what I heard from Lin Xiuzhi, it seems that they are going to get the marriage certificate soon."
Zhao Jiayun became even more unhappy, and started banging the bed sheet. Old Mrs. Luo, who was recuperating in the room, heard the noise and yelled, "What are you doing? Wash it quickly."
The old ladies only knew that Mrs. Luo had fallen and had to lie in bed for a long time. They didn't know anything else. They looked at each other and suddenly laughed, "Yiping family, why can't you control your mother-in-law lying in bed?"
Zhao Jiayun didn't want to pay attention to this little trick. She was busy washing clothes. She threw the smelly bed sheets in front of the old ladies in annoyance and said, "If you have the ability, you can take care of it and wash it."
"You took my kindness for granted, bah." The old ladies covered their noses and ran away as fast as they could. They only dared to come to the house because they saw that Luo Yiping was not there.
If Luo Yiping were there, they wouldn't dare to come to Luo's house. Since Zhao Jiayun didn't appreciate it, they wouldn't bother to come.
At this time, Luo Yiping, known as the thieving cat, had been squatting at the door of the Jiang family for two days. He was shivering with cold but was reluctant to leave.
In the past two days, whenever he slept with Zhao Jiayun, he would always have dreams in the middle of the night, dreaming about his past with Chu Sangning. After a long time, it seemed as if it happened in his previous life.
It was more like a prophecy. If it weren't for Zhao Jiayun, he and Chu Sangning would be together, and he would take advantage of his father-in-law's connections to become the richest man and a wealthy man that everyone envied.
Luo Yiping's face was pale, and he was crouching at the door. Lin Xiuzhi was afraid that someone would die at his doorstep, so she walked out and asked angrily, "Luo's kid, what are you doing squatting at my house in broad daylight?"
"Auntie Lin, I'm just passing by to take a look." Luo Yiping smiled, and saw the person he wanted to see through the crack in the door with his peripheral vision, and his smile became even brighter.
"What are you passing by? Don't forget that you are already married." Lin Xiuzhi advised him to go back quickly. Everyone knew what he was thinking, but why did he come to harass Sang Ning after getting married?
Sang Ning had looked down on him before they got married. Now that he was married, a man should keep a distance from the female educated youth, otherwise she might throw dirty water on Sang Ning.
"Auntie, I have something to ask Sang and Chu Zhiqing. Can you ask her to come out?"
Luo Yiping looked at the people in the Jiang family yard stubbornly. Chu Sangning felt uncomfortable with his stare and walked forward, "What do you want from me?"
"Chu Zhiqing, do you believe in dreams, or do you believe that we had a predestined relationship in our previous lives?"
After Luo Yiping finished speaking, Chu Sangning smiled instantly, with his eyes curved like crescent moons. Is Luo Yiping no longer dealing in drugs but turning to fortune-telling?
What past life was he talking about? How was it different from the blind fortune teller wearing black glasses she had seen under the overpass before?
"I don't believe it." Chu Sangning shook his head sincerely and answered seriously.
"It's true, you have to believe me, we were a couple in our previous life." When he got excited, Luo Yiping even wanted to step forward and hold Chu Sangning's hand.
Before Lin Xiuzhi could stop him, a long stick stretched out from the door and hit Luo Yiping's hand directly without any restraint.
"Sang Ning, come here." Zhou Yongzhuo stared at the people outside with a fierce face, wishing he could find someone to put him in a sack and throw him into the ditch.
"Dad." Chu Sangning called coquettishly and took Zhou Yongzhuo's arm.
Luo Yiping was even more excited when he saw Zhou Yongzhuo, and his saliva was about to spurt out. "Sang Ning, believe me, I have seen him in my previous life."
Zhou Yongzhuo frowned, with a chill in his eyes, "Where did this thug come from?"
Seeing that something was not right, Lin Xiuzhi quickly closed the door and asked everyone to go back, pretending that they could not hear Luo Yiping's shouting at the door.
"Dad is still worried about you being here, Sang Ning, come with dad to Beijing."
Zhou Yongzhuo has gotten to know this place over the past two days. To put it bluntly, poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Although this place is not very poor, people still like to gossip behind people's backs.
He had been here for less than five days and had heard many rumors, many of which were about his own daughter.
Even with the protection of the Jiang family, Zhou Yongzhuo still felt uneasy.
Lin Xiuzhi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. "My dear, did we do something wrong?"
"It's not you. I just feel like I've been missing my daughter for a long time. I want to spend more time with her to make up for the regret that I wasn't around all these years."
Of course Zhou Yongzhuo couldn't tell the truth, so he used another way to talk to Lin Xiuzhi. Everyone knew that if Chu Sangning left, there was no telling when he would come back.
"Dad, I like it here. Can you stay a few more days with me?" Chu Sangning pouted and acted coquettishly. Under her sweet words, Zhou Yongzhuo had no choice but to pretend to poke her head with his fingers in an affectionate manner.
"Don't think that Dad doesn't know what you're thinking. Sigh - the daughter has grown up and is no longer under Dad's control."
Sang Ning stayed here because of Jiang Xingyan. It was convenient to go to the army from here. If he had to go to the army from Beijing, it would be very troublesome to go through layer after layer of checkpoints.
"dad--"
With Chu Sangning's insistence, Zhou Yongzhuo gave up his idea and stayed with his lady, eating and drinking leisurely all day.
Chu Sangning was worried about Jiang Xingyan, who was trapped at the border because of a mission. Sun Guoan followed his battalion commander and waved his big hand with a wolfish look on his face: "Fuck them, let's fight them."
