Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 270: Who Does the Old Master Want Her to Marry?
Xu Qinghuan’s eyes instantly became moist, "They wanted the formula, I originally planned to have the higher-ups exonerate you, but in the end, they only agreed to give me a courtyard house."
Now it seems that this courtyard house, actually holding it feels like it’s not warranted.
Ren Shanglu’s dry old hand rested on her shoulder, "Child, don’t do such foolish things anymore in the future, asking for such things is not good for either of us.
The courtyard house has been given to you, just take it, without the Jiangzhu Star you found, the Bone Adhesive wouldn’t have succeeded. That was originally your credit too."
"The old gentleman has a son named Zhang Zhongyuan, do you know where he is now?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
Zhang Zhongyuan was her mentor in a previous life. He is still very young now, only in his twenties, and has suffered a lot during these years.
"I don’t know, don’t ask, and don’t look for him," Ren Shanglu said, "Not knowing each other is the best protection for both sides."
Xu Qinghuan nodded helplessly, "You don’t need to worry either. I just mentioned it to the master of the Huo family, I haven’t mentioned it to anyone else. This time I went to Yan City to perform surgery for the Huo family’s eldest grandson. They recognized me as their goddaughter."
Ren Shanglu sighed, "The Huo family, are all of them doing well? How is the master’s health?"
"Pretty good, you hang in there too. There will eventually be brighter days," Xu Qinghuan said, not good at comforting, her words sounding rather dry.
Ren Shanglu laughed and ruffled her hair, "Alright, don’t worry about us anymore, go on out. Jingmo and I are doing quite well here, much better than before; things will be fine."
At last, hope began to grow in his heart.
Ren Jingmo ate a bun, his stomach already round and full. Now no one hits him, and the production team has kids to play with. If anyone bullies him, Big Egg and Second Egg will protect him, and he’s become much more cheerful.
"Sister, are you going back?" He came over, holding Xu Qinghuan’s hand.
Xu Qinghuan pulled out a handful of candies from her pocket for him, "Have one each day, and remember to rinse your mouth after eating."
A large handful of White Rabbit candies. Ren Jingmo was overjoyed and happily stuffed them into his pocket.
Xu Qinghuan gave them too much, and the little guy is no longer polite; when his sister gives, he just takes, even proudly often arguing with Qin Baifan over whom the sister treats better.
Xu Qinghuan walked in the darkness, and before long, Jiang Xingye caught up and held her hand, "Heading to the mountains?"
Xu Qinghuan was surprised for a moment and couldn’t help but look down at him. Jiang Xingye bent backward a bit, and in the darkness, the tips of his ears flushed with embarrassment.
"Now?"
"Yes." Jiang Xingye hesitated for a while, "Don’t be afraid, it won’t be unsafe at night."
Indeed, they needed a proper talk, so Xu Qinghuan didn’t object, allowing him to hold her hand and walked up the mountain through a concealed path to avoid potentially meeting people.
As they approached the woods at the foot of the mountain, Xu Qinghuan’s steps faltered, and Jiang Xingye had already grabbed her and hidden behind a large tree.
A sound came from inside.
"Find out exactly, who’s investigating these people?"
It was Song Wanlin’s voice.
Xu Qinghuan’s abdomen was held tightly by Jiang Xingye’s arms, her back pressed firmly against his body, while his back leaned against the tree.
"There are some clues, there are people from Li Shouzhi, and some sent from Anguang, initially determined within Wang Yueze’s circle," said Liao Yongqiang.
Song Wanlin said through gritted teeth, "Really, lingering spirits, these people again, haven’t they had enough of stalking all these years? Isn’t there a way to teach them a lesson?"
Liao Yongqiang replied, "No, Lu Lv wouldn’t agree."
"You only listen to him? My words mean nothing?"
This remark carried a sense of evident tenderness and helplessness, which in the dark was hugely impactful on a man.
Xu Qinghuan glanced in that direction. Her night vision was strong, and they weren’t hiding deeply in the woods, so she could see that they were facing each other, with an arm’s distance between them.
Liao Yongqiang was silent for a moment, his voice a bit dry, "No."
Song Wanlin evidently lost patience, "No? Then what? For years, how have they treated me? You don’t see it? No, you see it, but it’s like you don’t see it."
Song Wanlin was too agitated, started to sob, "Maybe, in your eyes, I was always like this. I know what you mean, all military people, it’s inappropriate to kill each other, they are my ex-husband’s people, if we really act, the walls have ears, the reputation wouldn’t be good."
Liao Yongqiang said nothing, his body leaned slightly forward, seemingly trying hard to look at Song Wanlin.
"But have you ever considered me, considered my feelings?" Song Wanlin’s voice lowered, like a trapped beast.
After a while, Liao Yongqiang helplessly, with a touch of indulgent tone, said, "Stop crying!"
He turned his head to look towards Xu Qinghuan’s side, scaring her into quickly retracting her head, merging with Jiang Xingye, afraid of being seen.
"Now is not the time, you know how difficult the situation is."
"How difficult? How can it be difficult? If it’s difficult, does he still have the mind for that?" Song Wanlin said miserably, "You know what he’s doing in the office, when he married me, you were there. Now what’s with Yao Tinghe?"
Liao Yongqiang was greatly shocked, "Who is Yao Tinghe?"
"You say you don’t know, you’re still acting in front of me, Yao Tinghe’s pregnant with his child, don’t tell me you don’t know."
"I truly didn’t know." Liao Yongqiang raised one hand, "I can swear to you, I really didn’t know."
Song Wanlin wiped her tears, "Now you know, so what are you going to do?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"With Li Shouzhi here, it’s definitely not viable, he watches everything we do. I thought he wouldn’t live much longer, but now his health seems so good, still so nosy."
"Directly moving against him is probably not possible, causing too much disturbance will alert the higher-ups and won’t be good," Liao Yongqiang directly denied it.
"Not to kill him, just to keep him troubled, unable to protect himself, and then he won’t have time to bother Xu Qinghuan," Song Wanlin said,
"She holds the Beauty Pill and Bone Adhesive formula, controlling her is very beneficial, and you too understand this. She now refuses to acknowledge me as her mother, Jiang Chengxu is a waste, we have to find another person."
Anyone could hear Song Wanlin’s intention: find another man for Xu Qinghuan, and tie her down. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Liao Yongqiang said, "The old master also thinks this way, he also considered that all these years you and your daughter haven’t reunited, if she could enter the Lu Family, she could honor you in the future."
Song Wanlin ’oh’ed coldly, "Who does the master want her to marry?"
Jiang Xingye’s grip on Xu Qinghuan’s hand involuntarily tightened, she turned to look at him, his slightly long forehead hair hung down, covering half of his brow and eyes, and in the darkness, his gaze was shockingly cold, locking onto her like a beast.
