Then, Li Xinlan’s gaze was so sharp, she instantly noticed that sothing was unusual between her and Jiang Jie, and relentlessly interrogated her. Before she could say anything, Jiang Jie proactively revealed their relationship.
She understood the reason behind Jiang Jie’s action was to show her his stance, his persistence to be with her. She wasn’t soone who couldn’t let things go, so since Jiang Jie said it like that, she cooperated and went along with it.
She clearly rembered that Li Xinlan’s gaze towards her and Jiang Jie was disdainful. After all, in her sister Li Xinlan’s eyes, a re postal worker wasn’t worth marrying.
She couldn’t be bothered to explain and just said goodbye to Li Xinlan and left.
What she didn’t expect was that Jiang Jie, in order to have his parents accept her earlier, went to plead at his mother’s workplace and happened to be caught by Li Xinlan, naturally leading to Li Xinlan learning his identity — Mother Jiang was the union chairperson at Li Xinlan’s factory.
This matter was sothing Jiang Jie told her; Li Xinlan didn’t even ntion it to her.
Jiang Jie also inford her that Li Xinlan would often go to the post office to visit him, causing many people to mistakenly think she was his girlfriend. Helplessly, he had to explain to everyone to make his colleagues understand the truth.
She understood the aning behind Jiang Jie’s explanation, simply not wanting her to misunderstand one day because of Li Xinlan’s actions.
When Li Xinlan ca crying to her about her mother, she still didn’t ntion anything about visiting Jiang Jie. After her tearful complaint, she demanded that Jiang Jie help her move house.
Actually, even without her saying anything, she knew it must have been Li Xinlan asking Jiang Jie for help. Since Jiang Jie didn’t act, Li Xinlan specifically ca to her, and now, she’s probably using her approval as leverage to force Jiang Jie to help.
In fact, she hesitated about telling Lin ngran the truth, but when the words ca to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She knew Lin ngran’s personality too well, like a firecracker ready to explode. If she told her, ngran would likely confront Li Xinlan imdiately, and she was aware of her sister’s character too, not afraid of causing trouble. Ultimately, it might be Jiang Jie and herself who’d be most affected.
But she couldn’t openly tell Lin ngran, lest her good intentions be misconstrued. If the eldest sister misunderstood, it’d be terrible.
At this mont, eting Chuxia made her breathe a sigh of relief; she wanted to hear Chuxia’s opinion. After all, among them, Chuxia seed the most sensible and least biased.
Seeing Li Xinli’s hesitation, Chuxia interrupted the still ranting Lin ngran, "Eldest sister, don’t get worked up. You know Xinli’s family situation. She’s so kind-hearted, she can’t just stand by and do nothing at tis like this. If you criticize her, she’ll feel even more conflicted. Why don’t you go to the classroom first, and I’ll have a few words with Xinli?"
"Hmph!" Lin ngran rolled her eyes at the two of them, "I knew it, treating like an outsider, not willing to let know. Fine, I won’t persist. Sang Qin, Zhao iyan, we’re being dismissed. Let’s go."
Sang Qin and Zhao iyan hesitated a bit; Division Commander Tongzi specifically instructed them to protect the commanding officer’s wife well during this period. If they left and sothing happened, regardless of whether Division Commander Tongzi would bla them, they themselves couldn’t forgive themselves.
But, they also couldn’t let their presence make the commanding officer’s wife’s life uncomfortable. This... so conflicted...
"I’m fine..." Chuxia smiled at the two, "Xinli and I are together, and besides..." She left the rest unspoken, but Sang Qin and Zhao iyan understood; they openly protect the commanding officer’s wife, but there are two more secretly...
"Eldest sister, I don’t consider you an outsider..." At this mont, Li Xinli ca to her senses, quickly grabbing Lin ngran, "It’s just that the youngest sister has been married and might have more experience in this area. I wanted to hear her opinion, so why don’t you stay, and let’s talk together? You all..." She turned to Sang Qin and Zhao iyan, "Join us too."
That’s just her personality, afraid of offending people.
Chuxia sighed, smiling at Sang Qin and Zhao iyan, "You two should go to your classroom first. If you really need to stay with , do it after transferring departnts. Following along now is truly inappropriate."
"Okay." The two acknowledged and quickly left. They weren’t foolish; the commanding officer’s wife was offering them an excuse. If they continued to linger, it’d be quite unacceptable.
Lin ngran initially wanted to leave out of spite, but after thinking it over, she understood why Li Xinli hesitated to speak to her. Her temper might cause her to imdiately wave her fists and settle accounts...
This ti, Li Xinli didn’t conceal anything, openly sharing her sister Li Xinlan’s behavior and Jiang Jie’s parents’ reactions with Chuxia and Lin ngran. "I’m really in a difficult position. I don’t know if Jiang Jie and I will make it to the end. I even thought, maybe I should just let go, and if my sister is capable, let her marry into the Jiang Family. If she’s not capable of marrying in, she can’t bla anyone. As for ..." She sighed and gave a bitter smile, "I’m still young, I’ll find soone suitable for ."
"She’s really sothing! Next ti I see her, I’m going to break her legs. Such a shaless sister, how did you end up with her?..."
Watching Lin ngran ragefully and harshly venting her anger, Chuxia felt both moved and amused. She was touched by her genuine nature, ready to defend friends at any cost, yet amused that after declaring herself not a rash person, she imdiately acted impulsively...(To be continued.
