During dinner, Fu Hanting, who is usually chattering, was unusually quiet.
He lowered his head, ate without any appetite, and looked like he was worried about something.
While eating, Xu Jinshu asked with concern:
"Are you tired from work today? Why are you so quiet?"
Hearing Xu Jinshu's concern, Fu Hanting's eyes flashed with guilt, and she said stubbornly:
"No, it's just that there's a lot going on at the hospital today, and I'm a little upset."
After she finished speaking, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Xu Jinshu quietly, pretending to ask casually:
"I saw a young man coming to Aunt Chen's house today. I've never seen him before, and he doesn't look very old. When did Aunt Chen get such a nephew? I don't know what he does."
After saying that, she picked up the water cup and took a sip, pricked up her ears, and waited for Xu Jinshu's response, but her heart beat involuntarily faster in her chest.
Xu Jinshu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said while chewing:
"You're talking about her nephew, Wei Zhuolan, the son of the Minister of Propaganda. He just came back from abroad and is now a university teacher. He's highly educated, very talented at a young age, and has a bright future.
This time, I came mainly to take care of your Aunt Chen's health. She has not been in good health, and it just so happens that her nephew is knowledgeable in this area. I also heard about your Aunt Chen's good complexion these past two days.
She paused, then added casually:
"I heard from your Aunt Chen that her nephew has been very smart since he was young and is very popular among students as a teacher at the university. Why are you asking this? Did you run into him in the compound?"
Fu Hanting lowered her head, hiding the shyness in her eyes, and said softly:
"Well, there's suddenly a stranger in the yard, I'm a little curious!"
Xu Jinshu didn't ask any more questions and continued eating.
At the dinner table, Qin Meihua's chopsticks suddenly stopped when she heard this.
The son of the Minister of Propaganda? What a high-ranking official he must be!
The scene of Qin Ying's conversation with Wei Zhuolan in the afternoon instantly emerged in her mind, and her already jealous mood was now fueled.
She suddenly felt a little annoyed, as she seemed a little rude when she spoke in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Qin Ying, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she felt even more jealous:
Qin Ying is quite lucky, as she makes friends with children of high-ranking officials.
Fu Hanting seemed to be asking casually, but she could see that she seemed to be very concerned. If she could get close to a handsome man like Wei Zhuolan, she would be the best of the best.
She looked at Fu Hanting calmly, and gradually an idea came to her mind. How could these good things be reserved for only you?
Since she knew about it, she wanted to join in the fun. Maybe she could even get in touch with Wei Zhuolan through Fu Hanting.
Moreover, Qin Ying must not be allowed to take the initiative. She is not divorced yet. If she seduces Wei Zhuolan again...
Why?
She was madly jealous in her heart, and when she saw Fu Hanting's expression, she always felt that she was a little unnatural.
Qin Ying was eating when she heard about Wei Zhuolan's identity. She paused and frowned. She had never expected that Teacher Wei was not only well educated, but also had an outstanding family background.
Although Fu Hanzhou had been eating silently, his eyes were always on Qin Ying. He caught her subtle movements and looked at her with a deep look in his eyes. He asked casually:
"The son of the Minister of Propaganda? Never heard of him!"
Qin Ying raised her eyes and met his gaze. She looked away quickly as if she was burned.
She hesitated for a moment, then said:
"You've seen this man before, the young comrade we met on the train!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Hanzhou's eyes:
"How do you know his name is Wei Zhuolan?"
Qin Ying swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at him:
"He went to a publishing house to publish an article, so he knew!"
Fu Hanzhou seemed to be thinking:
"What a coincidence, it's actually him. You can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Qin Ying nodded:
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either!"
Fu Hanting listened to their words and didn't expect that they all knew Teacher Wei.
What I didn’t expect was that Teacher Wei’s family background was so prominent.
She has had a crush on Teacher Wei since she was in college, and even now that she has graduated, she still likes him.
Today in the compound, when she saw him from afar, she was pleasantly surprised. She mustered up the courage to go and say hello, but she saw him walking home with Aunt Chen.
Their family moved into the military compound almost a year ago, and only now did they know that Aunt Chen was Teacher Wei's aunt.
Why haven’t I seen him here before? I wasted so many opportunities to meet him by chance!
However, after hearing Xu Jinshu say that Wei Zhuolan was here to take care of his aunt, he probably wouldn't leave in the short term.
Then, she has a chance!
Thinking of this, her mood became high again. She wanted to take this opportunity to get familiar with Teacher Wei.
She is an adult now, one year older than Qin Ying, and can have a partner.
Qin Ying returned to her room after dinner. The manuscript that Wei Zhuolan brought over needed to be reviewed for the final time and had to be submitted tomorrow.
Although this manuscript did not involve much foreign language, it was a medical article with many technical terms, and she found several translation errors.
It seems I have to talk to Wei Zhuolan about this tomorrow. This is not just a translation problem, it's also a medical problem.
Before going to bed, Qin Ying opened her diary again:
“It seems that after entering the book, every day is not an ordinary day.
Fu Hanzhou was very surprised. He defended me twice today!
This kind of development path is a little out of my control. He should continue to maintain his aloof personality!
However, his maintenance still played a certain role.
When Qin Meihua saw Wei Zhuolan and I talking in the compound, she didn't actually throw dirty water on me in front of Fu Hanzhou, which made me a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, this further proves that without Fu Hanzhou's protection, Qin Ying's end would be so tragic!
Moreover, I discovered a benefit of traveling through a book. Wei Zhuolan is actually the son of the Minister of Propaganda. Everyone I meet here is an outstanding person!
Handsome, gentle, and well-educated!
There are several errors in his article. I have to go find him tomorrow!"
Qin Meihua felt very uneasy sitting in the room after dinner. She had been there for a few days, but there seemed to be no progress in getting Qin Ying to divorce. She was a little anxious.
She took the college entrance examination simply to make the Fu family look at her with more respect.
Now that the divorce is not settled, she has to find another way.
She paced back and forth, cursing Qin Ying to death in her heart.
Just now at the dinner table, she could see that the way Qin Ying looked at Fu Hanzhou was shy.
This won't work. What if they fall in love? Wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?
And Qin Ying was really lucky, she even hooked up with the son of the Propaganda Department.
She thought about it, picked up a book, and went to Fu Hanting's room.
