Chapter 18 Laughter is full of happy calculations
The matter was of great importance, and Xie Rongjun was afraid that Su Lingyu would say "I don't want to".
He tried his best to wink at Huo Yan, and even encouraged him to use his beauty to lure him into submission.
Huo Yan: “…”
He and Xie Rongjun have been close friends for many years, so it is impossible for him to ignore his brother's life or death. However, he cannot use the "beauty trap" given his personality.
What’s more, there are so many people!
However, when he was thinking about how to work hard, he suddenly didn't have to work hard anymore.
[Host, Xie Rongjun's trouble is somewhat related to Zhou Fang. This is really unexpected.]
[Zhou Fang? Then tell me.]
[Yeah. Today, Huo Yan and Xie Rongjun embarrassed Zhou Fang at the training ground, and then suddenly went to find their regiment's division commander. Although Zhou Fang didn't know why they went there, he was still alert. Now he is thinking about destroying the evidence of collusion with the enemy, and even wants to set a trap to frame Xie Rongjun and divert the disaster away!]
[Headache... Although Xie Rongjun didn't treat me well at first, he was considerate and sensible later. I can't just sit there and watch an upright soldier being slandered.]
What should I do?
[Does it mean... I have to close my eyes too? ]
System: [……]
Everyone: "...!!!"
[There is a way! Since Zhou Fang intends to harm people, why don't we take the initiative and secretly report Zhou Fang for collaborating with the enemy and explain that he framed Xie Rongjun? Being vicious to bad people is also vicious! ]
The system immediately praised: [Wow, the host's brain is really fast! ]
[Hmm~]
Huo Yan and Xie Rongjun looked at each other and felt relieved.
If this is the problem, it's not really a problem.
If only the higher-ups acted faster, the dirty water wouldn't have splashed on them at all.
…
As soon as they came out of the Huo family, Zhao Mei pulled Xie Rongjun aside and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No," Xie Rongjun replied, "It's easy to solve once you know what the trouble is. Besides, with Huo Yan and even General Huo testifying for me, nothing will happen to me."
"That's good." Zhao Mei was relieved. "The Huo family is our benefactor."
Xie Rongjun: “…”
This is indeed true, but...
Thinking of Su Lingyu's words about the "pillar of the family", he always felt that his future days would not be so easy.
When she got home, the smile on Zhao Mei's face never faded.
Although she did not ask Su Lingyu about Zhao Wu's specific condition, she felt very rewarded as treatment is a process. Now that she had a general direction and knew there was hope, she felt very rewarded.
The child's matter cannot be delayed. The most important thing right now is to maintain a good relationship with Su Lingyu and take the child to spend more time with her.
But Su Lingyu's words also made her feel like she had opened the door to a new world! Marry a man and you will have clothes and food, isn't that the truth?
She now has complete faith in Su Lingyu and has great respect for him.
That girl is no ordinary person!
She asked the Huo family before going home. It was said that Su Lingyu liked spicy food. So she found a big bag of red peppers she had just bought and planned to make a pot of chopped peppers to send to Su Lingyu.
Fei Jin filled a large basin with water to wash the peppers, and took out an enamel donkey-jelly basin to hold the crushed peppers. Suddenly, he remembered something, and Zhao Mei shouted at Xie Rongjun who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Xie Rongjun, come here!"
"The child is mine alone? For the good of the child, you as a father should also contribute! The two of you can work faster, come and wash the peppers together!"
Xie Rongjun: “…”
He knew it! His wife would be corrupted by Su Lingyu.
The Huo family's master bedroom.
As usual, Chen Yuxiang poured a cup of warm water for Huo Jianguo and placed it on the bedside in case he was thirsty before going to bed.
After getting on the bed, she suddenly thought of something and nudged Huo Jianguo who was reading a newspaper beside her: "We have been married for so many years, and I have never seen you serve me. Go, bring that little wooden hammer over and give me a rub on my shoulders and back."
Huo Jianguo: “…”
"Go ahead."
"OK."
"Bring me the jewelry box I put on the dressing table." Chen Yuxiang said, "I only have one daughter-in-law in my family, so I can't treat her badly. She will look great wearing my jade bracelet. Give it to her tomorrow."
"OK."
Huo Jianguo raised his head and held his forehead, suddenly feeling that there would be many days like this in the future.
However, the scene in Su Lingyu and Huo Yan's bedroom was quite different.
Su Lingyu was wearing a dark red silk suspender nightgown. She sat diagonally on the bed with her legs crossed and her slender white calves placed aside. Her beautiful eyes were full of smiles as she happily counted her new wealth.
She agreed to let Huo Yan go down to entertain the guests, and all she asked for was an appearance fee.
Huo Yan had used all her previous allowances to support her comrades, so she had no money. But it didn't matter. She was easy to talk to and reasonable, and the same went for her using things as collateral.
Jade, watches, cufflinks, collar clips...
She accepted all these things, because she could exchange them for money when she needed them.
The system couldn't help but ask: [Host, do you want Huo Yan to work two more jobs and start a sideline? He has a lot of monthly allowances and a lot of assets, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. What if one day you drain him out and he has nothing to mortgage?]
[Professional soldiers cannot engage in business or other occupations outside of their profession. I am not such a cruel woman. He is really broke... Considering his height, long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist, it is not impossible to compensate him with sex, hehe.]
System: [Hey! ]
One person, one system, laughter is full of happy calculations.
Huo Yan: “…”
Taking a deep breath, he, who never cared about material conditions, couldn't help but think in his mind how to expand his assets.
To undertake a mission or to gain merit?
What if he can’t come up with the money in the future? He can’t really... do that, right?
At this moment, he heard Su Lingyu's voice again:
[The appearance fee is 100 yuan per time. Even if Huo Yan appears to be nonchalant on the surface, he must be very contemptuous of me in his heart. He thinks I am a materialistic woman and hates me very much! ]
The system agrees: [Definitely! ]
[But he was right, I do worship money.]
[As long as I have money, I won't have to eat coarse food after being kicked out by Huo Yan. I'll find a quiet little courtyard to live in, hire a live-in aunt to accompany me, drink tea and go shopping every day, and look at the natural handsome guys of this era. At least my life before death will be a little more comfortable! ]
System: [Yes, yes, yes! ]
Huo Yan: “…”
At this moment, he reached a high degree of consensus with his heart and his biological father Huo Jianguo: there will probably be many days like this in the future.
He also had some doubts about the word "death" that Su Lingyu mentioned.
…
The night is very dark and everything is quiet.
At two or three o'clock in the morning when almost everyone in the capital had fallen asleep, there was a sudden sound of a cat meowing and a bird chirping.
Several sturdy figures in black ran quickly on the deserted street and arrived at their destination, a small courtyard that seemed to be uninhabited.
After looking around for a few seconds, the leader made a gesture, and someone immediately stepped forward to open the gate. A group of people rushed in and quickly disappeared into the thick night.
Half an hour later.
The man in black left quickly in the dark with a stack of documents.
…
The next day.
When Su Lingyu woke up from her dream, the first thing she did was to touch the small wooden box beside her pillow. It contained her wealth, which was the guarantee of her comfortable life after being driven out of the Huo family.
When I turned around, Huo Yan was gone.
Unlike the messy bed she had here, Huo Yan folded the towel blanket on his bed neatly, pulled the pillowcases flat, and even smoothed out the wrinkles on the sheets.
Just like the impression he gives people, silent, serious, upright and old-fashioned.
Su Lingyu: "..."
Awesome!
But I really want to destroy it.
She rolled back and forth twice on the bed holding her towel blanket, making the sheets on Huo Yan's side equally messy and full of the breath of life. Then she raised her red lips with pride.
As for Huo Yan leaving, she didn't take it to heart at all.
What she didn't know was that Huo Yan was in Huo Jianguo's study, and the father and son were discussing something related to her.
"The intelligence officers who infiltrated Zhou Fang's private residence yesterday found accurate and detailed information that can prove that Zhou Fang is colluding with foreign forces."
"real?"
"Really! According to the records of correspondence, he has been colluding with foreign forces for half a year. The latest secret report that has not been sent out should be sent out in the next few days."
Huo Yan immediately asked, "Is that the one Su Lingyu mentioned?"
"yes."
"How are the higher-ups going to deal with this?" Huo Yan asked.
It's not just about Zhou Fang, but also about his attitude towards Su Lingyu.
