Zhao listened carefully to Fan Hua's narration. He didn't expect that so many things had happened to her in just a few days.
He now felt even more that Fan Hua was not as stupid as the rumors said. On the contrary, she not only spoke clearly, but also had her own ideas and vision when doing things. She was a very smart girl!
"...Anyway, don't worry. Train well in the army. I'm doing well here, so don't worry about me for your brother. Of course, don't forget what you promised me before. Don't tell your brother about meeting me. I don't want to disturb his life. He will meet a woman he truly loves in the future."
Zhao Yilu was suddenly choked up. Seeing Sun Xiang still sitting nearby, he felt that this topic was too sensitive and inappropriate for outsiders to hear. He couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Fan, are you really indifferent to what happened that night? You can demand responsibility!"
Fan Hua smiled, her tone relaxed. "It's my parents' fault. Your brother is also a victim. I don't want a loveless marriage, so there's no need to tie myself to your brother just to make him take responsibility."
Zhao Yilu seemed to understand that what Fan Hua wanted was a marriage with love, no matter who it was that night.
Judging from her attitude of repeatedly telling herself not to tell her elder brother, even if Fan Hua knew now that it was actually him who had sex with her that night, she would immediately draw a line between them. That would only make their relationship more strained. It would be better for them to get along naturally like now.
In that case, let's cultivate the relationship first. She also needs to wait until she knows Fan Hua's character well enough before letting her know this secret.
"Don't worry, I won't let my brother know that you're in Yangcheng, let alone tell him what we met. But... I still want to make it up to you as much as possible!"
Fan Hua was stunned. What kind of adultery was this? A younger brother was making up for the woman his older brother had slept with? Why did it sound so wrong?
So he quickly said, "No, no, I'm calling you today just to thank you for lending me the money. You've already helped me a lot, so there's no need to make up for your brother. Now I've already paid you back, and we're even now. Just pretend you've never met me."
Zhao Yilu listened to the voice coming from the microphone and suddenly felt that it was not so pleasant. Although she did not want him to be responsible, she believed that he could not be an irresponsible man!
"If you won't let me make amends, then I'll just tell my brother!"
“No, no, no!!!”
Rather than fighting with the scoundrel He Siyan, Fan Hua would of course prefer to fight with her poor little brother Zhao Yilu, who is also a cannon fodder.
Never mind, just consider it as having another friend. Apart from the fact that Zhao Yilu is He Siyan's younger brother, Fan Hua really has no dissatisfaction with Zhao Yilu.
This man is not only handsome but also capable. Even if he becomes disabled in the future, he can still become a business tycoon. It is not a loss to have a good relationship with him. As long as he doesn't tell He Siyan about his existence and as long as He Siyan doesn't come to snatch the child from him, nothing else matters!
…
Under the threat of Zhao Yilu telling his brother, Fan Hua reluctantly agreed to accept half of Zhao Yilu's monthly allowance and to call him every week to report on her current situation.
The call lasted sixteen minutes accidentally. In that era, long-distance calls were five cents per minute. After hanging up, Fan Hua reluctantly paid the hefty eighty-cent call fee to Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun took the call with a smile, thinking that Zhao Yilu was Fan Hua's boyfriend. She praised their good relationship and asked them to keep in touch more often in the future.
Fan Hua explained that it was not the case, but Aunt Sun just laughed dryly, looking as if she understood everything.
Fan Hua simply didn't explain any more. She patted her face and went back upstairs. Damn it! She had actually promised to call him every week! What a waste of phone bill! How much delicious food could she have eaten with that money?
