"The Security Department is investigating Qin Ying, and they are the ones behind this!"
Xu Jinshu frowned, looking thoughtful:
"When I was in the hospital, he came to see me on behalf of his aunt. Now, he's using Qin Ying as a bargaining chip for marriage!"
Fu Qixun stood up suddenly, his military boots making a dull sound on the carpet.
"The Wei family is calculating. They're using the investigation into Qin Ying to force us to agree, and then they're asking us to accept their favor of 'letting Qin Ying go'—do they really think I'm blind, having fought on the battlefield?"
He yanked open the button on his collar, revealing the bulging veins on his neck.
"I'm not even afraid of bullets, so why would I be afraid of the Wei family's schemes?"
"you do not say!"
Xu Jinshu slammed the book shut, the rustling of the pages startling the sparrows outside the window.
"Do you really think our Fu family is a soft persimmon?"
Fu Qixun grabbed his military cap and threw it onto the table. The cap badge glared under the light.
"wishful thinking!"
His chest heaved violently with anger, and his stern anger almost burst out:
"Qin Gang saved my life and carried me out of the battlefield. Now the Wei family wants to touch his daughter? My daughter-in-law and daughter, Fu Qixun, are not something they can control!"
Xu Jinshu's hand stopped in mid-air. The sunlight shone through the window frame, making the white hair at her temples more obvious.
Thinking of the rumors about Wei Zhuolan and Qin Ying, Fu Hanting was depressed all day long, and whispered:
"My child has liked Wei Zhuolan since he started college..."
"Even if you like someone, you have to look carefully at the person!"
Fu Qixun slammed the table hard, causing the dishes on the table to clink.
"Wei Zhuolan only has Qin Ying in his eyes. Letting Tingting meet her is like pushing her into trouble."
Xu Jinshu's expression grew increasingly worried, his fingertips unconsciously running across the paper:
"But the Wei family is now in control. The Security Department's investigation can be restarted at any time. Qin Ying..."
Before she finished speaking, Fu Qixun leaned back on the sofa, with an imposing manner:
"Let them come! I want to see if the Wei family's reputation can withstand the torment of an old man like me!"
Xu Jinshu thought about it and felt that this might not be a bad thing.
"Yingying is our daughter-in-law. If he becomes a family with us in the future, Qin Ying will be his sister-in-law. With this relationship in place, what can Wei Zhuolan do if he makes a fuss again?"
Fu Qixun was about to speak when the crisp sound of a bicycle bell suddenly came from outside the yard.
The guard trotted over and knocked on the door:
"Commander! Minister Wei's son wants to visit you and your wife."
The air froze instantly.
Xu Jinshu subconsciously looked at her husband, but saw his hand stroking the military medal on his chest pause and sneered:
"You're just in time. Tell Han Ting not to go downstairs."
Then he said to Xu Jinshu:
"Today I want to hear how this kid argues."
Xu Jinshu stood up and adjusted her collar. The reflection in the mirror was dignified and elegant. She asked Fu Qixun through the mirror:
"How about...I go take a look first?"
"Sit down!"
Fu Qixun pressed her shoulders, and the thin shoulder bone under his fingertips was scratching his hand.
"If he wants to see me, let him come and see me."
He suddenly spoke to the door, his voice as if squeezed out from deep within his chest:
"Let him in."
Xu Jinshu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her husband waving his hand.
"A marriage between a military and a government official is a good thing, but my daughter, Fu Qixun, will not be used as a bargaining chip for the marriage, so don't worry!"
Fu Qixun patted her hand, signaling her to be at ease.
The locust tree outside the window rustled. Xu Jinshu looked at the sunlight reflected on his badge and suddenly smiled:
"Then I'll go talk to Tingting and see what she thinks first."
Fu Qixun adjusted his military uniform in front of the dressing mirror, his fingertips trembling slightly as they brushed over the medals.
The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed on the mottled brick wall, just like the swaying searchlights on the battlefield.
A moment later, there were light footsteps at the door.
Wei Zhuolan stood in front of the carved door, his gray-blue Zhongshan suit straight as new, and the Hai brand watch on his wrist shone with a cold light.
He is good-looking and his clothes look great. Even when he is standing with his back to the light, he still has the temperament of a gentle and elegant gentleman.
He looked at Fu Qixun with a calm expression, only his knuckles turning white as he gripped the leather briefcase, and his Adam's apple rolled as he spoke:
"Commander Fu, I'm sorry to bother you with my visit..."
Fu Qixun took a sip from the enamel pot. The tea had already cooled completely. He looked at this young man who was once described as high-spirited and ambitious by others, and remembered his daughter Fu Hanting's shyness when she talked about him. He put down the teacup and said in a deep voice:
"Come in and sit down."
"Thank you, Uncle Fu."
When entering the door, Wei Zhuolan deliberately slowed down his pace, glanced at Fu Hanting's award certificate on the wall, and sat down opposite Fu Qixun with a polite smile on his face.
Fu Qixun observed him silently while drinking water. This young man was able to control the situation. There was no sign of restraint on his face. He responded calmly and looked quite steady and composed.
"Don't you have to go to medical school anymore?"
"I just completed the resignation procedures yesterday."
Wei Zhuolan placed his briefcase on the coffee table and sat upright.
"I know your father wants to bring you and Han Ting together."
Fu Qixun looked at the young man in front of him, his cold eyes almost piercing through him:
"But my daughter, Fu Qixun, will not marry someone with bad intentions."
A dark color flashed across Wei Zhuolan's eyes, but his expression remained calm.
"Uncle Fu, I came here today with full sincerity. I don't agree with my father's actions, but since our two families are interested in getting married, I will definitely not let the Fu family down."
He lowered his eyes, hiding the sharpness in them, and remembered what Wei Zhongchao had said before: since you have agreed to do it well, if you don't do it well, it will seem that you are incompetent.
He looked up and looked directly into Fu Qixun's eyes:
"I am to Han Ting..."
"You know your own thoughts."
Fu Qixun clasped his arms, tapped his pistol with his knuckles on his side, and looked at him with a seasoned and vicious look.
An awkward silence hung in the air.
Xu Jinshu came down from upstairs and broke the deadlock with a light cough:
"Zhuo Lan, don't worry about you and Han Ting. There are some things that we, as parents, must ask clearly first."
Wei Zhuolan quickly stood up and greeted with a smile:
"Hello, Aunt Xu."
"You're in my own home, there's no need to be restrained, just sit down."
Xu Jinshu sat down next to Fu Qixun and asked Wu Ma to replace the tea.
No one spoke in the living room for a long time, only Wu Ma was busy running back and forth.
Wei Zhuolan's fingers unconsciously rubbed his knees, and his Adam's apple moved:
"I know that you and Commander Fu are worried about my feelings. But this time, I really want to have a good chat with Han Ting."
"sincere?"
Xu Jinshu's voice suddenly became sharp, but quickly returned to calm.
"Zhuo Lan, I often hear from your aunt how much the students welcome and love you."
Her eyes became sharp:
"But why would such a famous person get himself into trouble over Qin Ying's affairs?
