Chapter 129: Living on money and being born as a son-in-law
As for why he stopped him today, one was for his daughter, and the other was to make friends with Jiang Xingyan.
Captain Bai must also know what Qiao Xiangye knows. They are old, and these things should be left to the next generation of talented people.
Captain Bai has been against Qiao Xiangye for most of his life and has great faith in his judgment. Since he is willing to marry his niece to Jiang Xingyan, it proves that Jiang Xingyan is not a fool who just wants to eat and wait for death.
His military rank was not fake. When Captain Bai randomly asked anyone in the army, everyone admired Jiang Xingyan very much.
Captain Bai also wanted Jiang Xingyan to join him, and preferably marry his daughter, so that there would be someone to inherit everything he had.
"I heard from Lao Qiao that his niece is an educated youth who went to the countryside?"
Captain Bai was puzzled. Qiao Xiangye would not be so stingy that he would let his niece go to the countryside as an educated youth, where she would work herself to death and not even have enough to eat.
As the head of the group, it is acceptable for him to open a back door for his niece.
As for the fact that Chu Sangning was an educated youth who went to the countryside, many people in the army knew about it. Captain Bai did not even ask Qiao Xiangye, but found it out on his own.
Jiang Xingyan's face turned dark instantly. He could still hear the contempt in Captain Bai's words. He took a deep breath and his expression became even colder.
"My target is from Lushi."
Captain Bai laughed loudly, thinking that Jiang Xingyan was still a young man after all. It didn't matter whether he was from Lu City or not. Once he went to the countryside, he was a countryman, and it would be difficult for him to transfer his household registration to the city in the future.
After all, how many of those who have gone to the countryside can return to the city? Don’t they still get married and have children in the countryside?
"Hey, you are still young, don't act on impulse."
Captain Bai persuaded Jiang Xingyan as a person with experience. He was also a small soldier in the army. Later, he married the only daughter of the leader of Beijing City. Then he rose to the position he has today.
Captain Bai felt that if Jiang Xingyan listened to him, he could help him a lot, and he wouldn't need to get promoted by completing missions.
"Xiao Jiang, am I right? One wrong step leads to all the wrong steps. You are so smart that you must understand what I mean. I am just a lady of Xiangsu. In the future... Don't you agree?"
This was almost like directly telling Jiang Xingyan to give up Chu Sangning and choose his own daughter.
Jiang Xingyan looked at Captain Bai with a strange look, he couldn't understand why some people, though they were all human, could be so thick-skinned as to describe living off someone so elegantly.
He's just a son-in-law, what's there to be proud of?
"Xiao Jiang, I'm an experienced person. You know how I escaped death while on a mission in the army. I heard that my leg almost became lame some time ago. It must be very difficult. We should take a long-term view. You may not be promoted even if you marry Lao Qiao's niece. He is a man who doesn't recognize his relatives."
Captain Bai was self-righteous. He thought that a man's job was to achieve success and build a family business. Jiang Xingyan must also be striving for wealth and glory so that he could have enough food and drink in the future. He had pointed out a path for him, and as long as he was a smart man, he would know what to choose.
Hearing Captain Bai's implicit wish for him to be his son-in-law, Jiang Xingyan suddenly smiled, "Captain, you are right."
Marrying your daughter and achieving instant success might have made others hesitate, but Jiang Xingyan did not waver at all.
He can work hard in the military. It's just a matter of completing a mission. What's so difficult about that?
Captain Bai also smiled and patted Jiang Xingyan's shoulder with satisfaction, "Good boy, I knew that Lao Qiao's niece is not as good as a finger of my Xiang Su. As long as you make the right choice, your future will be bright."
Jiang Xingyan patted his shoulders twice in disdain, as if to drive away dust, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, "What a good idea, but unfortunately I don't want to do it."
He turned around and walked away. Before he had taken two steps, he suddenly turned around, stared into Captain Bai's eyes and refuted every word: "In my eyes, Sang Ning is a hundred times, a thousand times better than your daughter. She will never be as good as Sang Ning, and you will never be as good as Captain Qiao."
Although Qiao Xiangye has a bad temper, he is not nepotistic and does not do things that would help a mean person to succeed. For this reason alone, he will always be defeated by Qiao Xiangye.
After Jiang Xingyan finished speaking, he left, leaving Captain Bai standing there with his liver-colored face trembling.
He managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Jiang Xingyan——"
The two of them might not know that everything they did on the training ground was recorded word for word and placed in front of Qiao Xiangye. As the head of a troop, Qiao Xiangye would not be able to control tens of thousands of people if he didn't have some skills.
Qiao Xiangye read through the entire article quickly and laughed out loud at the end, "I rarely see him get embarrassed. Jiang Xingyan is great."
When Jiang Xingyan returned, Chu Sangning had already started cooking and had prepared a plate of fruit. While the two of them were eating, Chu Sangning told him everything that had happened that day.
She puffed her cheeks in anger, "Jiang Xingyan, how could she do this? And she even bites me back."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not just our people who have moved into this building. There are also several people from the western part of the army. If you don't recognize them, they might be from that side."
"Troops west?"
"Well, you know that uncle is the leader, but there are many disobedient people there who want to step on uncle to get to the top."
Chu Sangning nodded and said, "I will definitely not show mercy next time we meet, hum——"
The little girl was annoyed by the smell of dinner, so she ate a few bites and insisted on taking a bath. Jiang Xingyan had no choice but to boil water for her.
As for the little episode where Captain Bai blocked him just now, Jiang Xingyan felt that there was no need to tell her, otherwise the girl would get angry again.
Ten minutes later, Chu Sangning walked out of the bathroom wearing fluffy pajamas, with a slight blush on her face and her thick black hair wrapped in a towel.
The white and tender skin on her neck seemed as if it could be blown away by a blow, and it looked even more adorable against the backdrop of the furry pajamas.
Jiang Xingyan felt that his eyesight was a little too good. A small drop of water disobeyed and slowly slid down the little girl's cheek, across her slender and white neck, and gradually slid down along her collarbone...
But Chu Sangning was a simple-minded person. He casually wiped the water droplets off his face, with an innocent look in his eyes. He even smiled when he saw him.
"I'm done."
Jiang Xingyan's Adam's apple moved up and down without making a sound, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Okay."
He walked forward slowly, picked up the towel that the little girl had casually placed aside, and covered her hair with it. "It's cold, you need to dry your hair."
Chu Sangning pouted and teased him jokingly, "Jiang Xingyan, you sound like my dad when you preach now."
