Li Shaozhong's illness had completely healed. He had heard that his father-in-law had been transferred to the south, and he was ready to take action. He planned to talk to his father about this during dinner.
At the dinner table, Yang Jinping saw that although her son was still very thin, his complexion had improved a lot. Thinking of what the neighbor had told her before, Yang Jinping said, "Shaozhong, your Aunt Liu from next door wants to introduce you to a girl. She's only 20 years old, an arts soldier, and very beautiful. Would you like to meet her in a couple of days?"
Li Shaozhong's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said, "Mom, I already have a fiancée, why are you introducing me to someone?"
The last time Ye Xingguo came, Li Jianye and his wife had never told Li Shaozhong that the two families had cancelled the engagement.
The Li family had only recently arrived here, so many people didn't know much about them, nor did they know that Li Shaozhong had a fiancée. So, some people, seeing his good looks and the family background, became interested in him. Someone was already trying to introduce Li Shaozhong to someone.
There are many people who want to establish a relationship with the Li family.
Yang Jinping remembered what she had heard before: the fastest way to forget a relationship is to get into another one. Yang Jinping also hoped that her son could get over it as soon as possible, so she agreed to introduce a girl to her younger son.
Now the woman is waiting to meet her youngest son, and now she has no choice but to tell him to break up the engagement. She has to force him to go on a blind date, otherwise when will he be able to get over it?
Yang Jinping patiently advised, "Shaozhong, your engagement with Xiaoning has been cancelled. You are single now, so it's a good time to find a partner."
Li Jianye didn't interrupt. He had been unhappy with his wife's actions from the beginning. He had tried to stop her, but she had just started crying and making a scene, leaving him with no choice. Now that it had come to this, it was too late to say anything. Ye Xingguo must have felt resentful. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Ye Xingguo.
Li Shaozhong's heart sank after hearing his mother's words. He frowned and said, "How could I not know? Xiao Ning is my fiancée no matter how long it lasts."
Yang Jinping had no choice but to say, "You were sick a while ago and didn't leave your room. Your Uncle Ye came to mention your engagement with Xiao Ning once. He said he was worried that he wouldn't be able to find Xiao Ning and that would delay you, so he proposed to us to cancel the engagement between the two families, and I agreed."
Li Shaozhong's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stood up immediately and said in a deep voice, "Mom, why didn't you tell me at the time? It must have been you who first suggested that Uncle Ye cancel the engagement, right? Besides, even if Uncle Ye had mentioned it, would you have really agreed? Have you ever considered my feelings?"
I said that as long as I can't find Xiao Ning, I will keep looking for her. I am determined that my wife can only be Xiao Ning, and this will never change in my life. I am not kidding. How long has Xiao Ning been missing? You can't wait any longer? How will you let Uncle Ye think about our family and me?
Yang Jinping raised her voice with red eyes, saying, "If Ye Shuning is never found, will you be single for the rest of your life? Besides, Ye Shuning has been missing for almost half a year, with no news at all. How can she still be alive?"
Li Shaozhong's eyes also turned red, his nose felt sore, and his throat tightened. He took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'll tell you again, I will always wait for Xiao Ning, I will keep looking for her, and I will not marry anyone else in this life. You don't have to bother introducing me to other people, I won't meet them. I'll leave in two days and won't be an eyesore in front of you anymore."
Li Shaozhong couldn't eat anymore and went upstairs. Ye Shuning's father was transferred to the south, and he wanted to go there too. He also wanted to apologize to his father-in-law. He didn't agree to break off the engagement with Ye Shuning.
This is a matter between him and Ye Shuning, and no one can make the decision for them.
In the evening, Li Shaozhong entered his father's study. Seeing his father sitting at the desk reading documents, he walked up to him and said, "Dad, I also want to be transferred to the south, to the same place as Uncle Ye."
Li Jianye took off his glasses, pinched the corners of his eyes, and said, "Are you hiding from your mother or are you trying to find Xiao Ning?"
Li Shaozhong said, "I know Uncle Ye went to the south to find Xiao Ning, and I can't fall behind. I believe Xiao Ning and Jing Yu must still be alive. Dad, please help me this time."
Seeing how determined his youngest son was, Li Jianye knew that if he didn't let him go, he would never give up and might even get more and more upset with his mother at home. It would be better to let him go and let him give up if he couldn't find the child.
Thinking of this, Li Jianye asked, "Which department do you want to go to?"
Li Shaozhong said, "As long as it's a department dealing with external affairs, it will be fine, preferably a foreign trade department."
Li Jianye said, "Okay, I'll sacrifice my reputation and beg for you. Just wait for my news. But don't tell your mother about this, or she'll be furious.
When it's time for you to leave, tell her, and don't say I helped you, just say you found the relationship yourself. I can't afford to have your mother cry and make a fuss. If she tries to hang herself, I won't be able to handle it."
Li Shaozhong's mouth twitched when he heard his father's words. He nodded and said, "I will keep it a secret for you and will not implicate you."
Li Shaozhong returned to his room and lay on the bed. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his father-in-law must have been transferred to the south to find Ye Shuning, and he must have believed that Ye Shuning was not dead.
He had to first obtain his father-in-law's forgiveness and take back his words about canceling his engagement with Xiao Ning.
Qin Zongye always remembered to help the little girl contact Ling Xuan. If he specifically looked for Ling Xuan, it might attract the attention of other people in the Ling family, so Qin Zongye was waiting for an opportunity.
Finally, Qin Zongye met Ling Xuan at a banquet. Ling Xuan came to the banquet with his father. Ling Qisheng also wanted to train his son. Although his son was still young, Ling Qisheng often took his son to some important occasions.
Some time after the banquet started, Qin Zongye saw Ling Xuan sitting alone in a corner eating something, getting rid of some women's entanglement and approaching Ling Xuan. "Xiaoxuan, you are here to have some free time."
Ling Xuan saw that it was the second brother of the Qin family and stood up to greet him, "Second Brother Qin."
Qin Zongye pulled Ling Xuan to sit down, looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them, and said, "Xiaoxuan, do you know someone named Shu Ning?"
Ling Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heartbeat quickened. He grabbed Qin Zongye's hand and asked, "Is it a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl?"
As soon as Qin Zongye heard it, he knew that Ling Xuan really knew the girl.
Qin Zongye whispered, "The young lady you know is in Nangang now. She wants to see you. But because of your family's current situation, she doesn't dare to contact you directly, so she asked me to contact you."
Ling Xuan was very excited when he heard this. "Sister Xiao Ning is coming to Nangang? Take me to see her quickly."
Qin Zongye grabbed the excited Ling Xuan and said, "Calm down. You don't want to bring trouble to your sister Xiao Ning, do you?"
