"Can you please stop gathering here? How can people pass by if you're blocking the road? Can you show some manners?" Zhou Yun shouted.
"Just go on your way. We're here to see the national top three students, not you. What's so good about college students? No one's stopping you from leaving."
If Zhou Yun had spoken nicely and asked everyone to make way, everyone would naturally make way and not affect others.
But her tone was bad and her voice was loud, which made people uncomfortable and they naturally argued with her.
Qiao Xinyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, but still asked everyone to make way and not block other guests from walking normally.
Qiao Xinyi eventually bought the red dress. Because they had made a big splash, the three siblings were treated warmly by the salespersons wherever they went. They chatted with each other as if they were visiting the staff quarters of a textile factory.
After they came out of the department store after shopping, the three siblings were so thirsty from chatting that they ran straight to the supply and marketing cooperative next door and asked for a bottle of iced soda each.
After drinking half a bottle in one breath, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"I haven't heard Secretary Zhang and his family mention Zhang Li and He Rou's marriage." Qiao Xinyi had just spoken to Secretary Zhang's family on the phone before returning from Beijing. "When I went to Secretary Zhang's office to set up a company before graduation, Zhang Li was also at his parents' place, and I didn't hear Zhang Li mention marriage."
Gossip makes people love to go home. Curious about He Rou's marriage, Qiao Xinyi went back to the military family compound with Fu Bailu and their children the next day.
After returning home, Qiao Xinyi put her things down and went straight to the family building behind to find Mrs. Lu.
"Mrs. Lu, I'm at home." Qiao Xinyi came with a bag of peaches.
"Xinyi!" Upon hearing the voice, Mrs. Lu hurried out of the house. She was surprised to see that it was really Qiao Xinyi. "Yesterday, I ran into Captain Fu and asked him when you would be back. He said you would probably stay at your parents' home for a few days. I didn't expect you to be back today."
Qiao Xinyi was familiar with Mrs. Lu, and as soon as she sat down at the door, she told her about her encounter with He Rou in the department store yesterday.
"You still don't know about He Rou and Zhang Li's broken engagement?" Mrs. Lu patted her thigh. "They broke off the engagement not long after I left. It's already like this, I don't know about it for you!"
Knowing that Qiao Xinyi had a good relationship with Secretary Zhang's family, Mrs. Lu had always kept it a secret from Qiao Xinyi, so she didn't talk about it with Qiao Xinyi when they met.
"I don't know." Qiao Xinyi looked bewildered. "He Rou is getting married again. Is she dating someone else in the provincial capital? Is she marrying someone higher than Zhang Li?"
He Rou and Zhang Li broke off their engagement, and this news completely shocked Qiao Xinyi.
"He Rou broke off the engagement before graduation. Speaking of this, the He family is really shameless. He Rou and Zhang Li hadn't even separated yet, but He Shengli introduced a new person to He Rou. The two started dating, and then He Rou broke off the engagement with Zhang Li."
The provincial capital is not big, and He Shengli is a soldier who has gone out to fight, so Captain Lu and his men have heard something about He Shengli.
If you don't go and ask specifically, the news will naturally spread to them.
"What kind of background does He Rou have that makes He Shengli fawn on her so much?" Qiao Xinyi wondered, "Is it stronger than the Zhang family's background?"
"From Hong Kong." Mrs. Lu curled her lips. "That guy's father is a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. Haven't many investors from there come to our place in the past two days? I don't know how He Shengli got in touch with them. I heard that this guy's family is very rich, so rich that many leaders want to curry favor with them when they see them."
"He Rou and Zhang Li have been engaged for two years, and He Rou has never been to the Zhang family. Secretary Zhang and his family have never met He Rou's parents. It's clear that the Zhang family doesn't like He Rou, and He Shengli can't rely on the Zhang family. Naturally, they have to find a new son-in-law who can be relied on."
The Zhang family wants power, and He Rou's current boyfriend's family wants money. Whether it's power or money, the He family always wants the same thing.
Qiao Xinyi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had not heard from Secretary Zhang and the others about Zhang Li and He Rou's broken engagement. After all, it was not a good thing, nor was it a glorious thing. It was not worth it for others to tell her about it when she was a guest at her house.
Zhang Li's love-sick brain was completely shattered by reality.
But Qiao Xinyi still felt a little strange.
"Why would the son of a wealthy businessman in Gangcheng marry He Rou?" Qiao Xinyi couldn't understand. "If they want to arrange a marriage, they won't look for a family as big as the He family. They still have to consider whether the two families are of equal status?"
If they don't marry in Hong Kong, even if they come back here, they will find a marriage that can help their family.
"Who knows, maybe it's the second Zhang Li who thinks He Rou is gentle and lovely, and likes He Rou." Mrs. Lu found it funny. "He Rou is so lucky. She was born in the belly of a family like the Chen family, but she was able to grow up in the He family, and she also met Zhang Li, that big idiot. After kicking Zhang Li away, she can still get another idiot."
However, Qiao Xinyi felt that this matter was not simple.
She thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out why He Rou's current partner married her.
The son of a wealthy businessman is love-brained, but his father will never let his son treat marriage as a joke.
In a place like Hong Kong, there are many ways to manage your son.
Although she was curious, Qiao Xinyi didn't have any connections in Hong Kong to get information, and this was He Rou's own business. After hearing a few words from Mrs. Lu, Qiao Xinyi forgot about it.
In the evening, Fu Qingshan returned home and saw that his door was open. He could hear the laughter of several children in the yard. He stood at the door for a few seconds before he walked in.
When he entered the room and saw Qiao Xinyi washing peaches by the sink, he glanced to the side again.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Xinyi picked up the washed peaches and threw them over.
"Fu Qingshan! That's enough!"
"Just be happy secretly, the show is still going on!"
That glance to the side means whether the sun is setting in the east.
Raising his hand to catch the peach thrown by his wife, Fu Qingshan opened his mouth and took a bite, "Delicious, crispy and sweet."
Passing by his son and daughter who were reaching out to him for a hug, Fu Qingshan pretended not to see them. He walked straight behind Qiao Xinyi and asked her with a smile, "Boss Qiao, why are you willing to come back so early this time? I thought I would have to stay alone in the empty room for at least a few days."
"I missed you~" Qiao Xinyi rolled her eyes and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that He Rou and Zhang Li broke off their engagement?"
"I told you in the letter." Fu Qingshan explained, "Didn't 께 Jing and 께 Xi tear up a letter I wrote to you last time? I wrote it in that letter, and then I thought I'd tell you after the holiday, but I forgot."
Qiao Xinyi held her forehead with her hand.
Fu Mingjing and Fu Mingxi were both small but strong. She took the letter and put it on the bed, then went out to wash clothes. When she came back, the two children had torn the letter into pieces and threw it into the basin.
Qiao Xinyi was so angry that she scolded the brother and sister and punished them to reflect on their mistakes by making them face the wall. It was not until Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu came home from school that the brother and sister went to cry to their two brothers.
He couldn't speak clearly, just a bunch of gibberish, but Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu understood what he was saying. Then they scolded their younger siblings, saying they deserved it, but at the same time they felt sorry for them being scolded and coaxed them softly.
"So you heard about this and came back to get information?" Fu Qingshan said with a sigh, "I knew that if it wasn't for something, you wouldn't be willing to come back so early to accompany me."
Qiao Xinyi ignored Fu Qingshan, turned around, picked up the two children who were pouting and glaring at Fu Qingshan, and stuffed them into Fu Qingshan's arms.
"Don't you see your son and daughter waiting for you to hold them?"
After saying that, he went to the kitchen to cook dinner with Fu Bailu.
Fu Qingshan sighed and teased the two children, "Your mother is really ruthless and has a heart of stone~"
