57: Chapter 57 Who is the Division Commander?
“You think I’ll believe you just because you say so?
That I’ve beco estranged from my dear aunt?” Chuxia glared at Xue Guohong with contempt, “A grown man using such despicable tactics…” She finished her sentence, grabbing the trembling Lin Baojuan, “Auntie, take to Grandma’s house.”
At this ti, she wouldn’t dare go to Grandma’s house alone, in case Xue Guohong recklessly followed her, her reputation would truly be ruined beyond redemption.
Lin Baojuan looked at her niece, sowhat disbelieving: “Chuxia, do you trust your auntie?”
“You’re my dear aunt, of course I trust you.”
“Just because soone is blood-related, they can be trusted?
Your grandparents are also your kin.”
Chuxia smiled lightly: “Should I suspect my aunt instead?”
“No…” Lin Baojuan’s face showed reassurance, “Chuxia, your aunt hasn’t loved you for nothing, co on up.”
Xue Guohong, supporting himself on one leg, moved his bike forward and teased, “Hey, you’re not scared of being thrown back down again?
Last ti you injured your buttocks, but next ti if it’s your face, I really won’t want you then.”
Seeing that the aunt and niece pair didn’t even glance at him and directly turned onto the path leading to Xiaolin Village, Xue Guohong shook his head, smiling, and shouted, “Lin Chuxia, you are my wife, and in this lifeti, you can’t escape from .”
“Ah!” Lin Baojuan sighed heavily and advised, “Chuxia, when you go back, have your eldest uncle escort you, don’t walk back alone.”
“Don’t worry, Auntie, I know what to do.”
After thinking it over for a while, Lin Baojuan was still worried: “No, I should co to pick you up this afternoon, let’s say four o’clock, I’ll co to get you at four.”
Being from a household with both elderly and young, how could her aunt always spare the ti for her?
Chuxia imdiately responded: “Auntie, I’ll have my eldest uncle escort , I definitely won’t walk back alone, you can rest assured.”
“Okay, having your eldest uncle escort you is also fine.
Chuxia, a girl’s honor is more important than anything, you can’t take your aunt’s words lightly.
Also, no matter how Xue Guohong tries to please you, you should not bother with him.
What proper girl behaves so unruly?”
No matter if Lin Baojuan could see or not, Chuxia quickly nodded: “Mm, I know.”
…
Office of Division A of a major military region in Province A.
After Zhou Mikang reported the recent work plan to Division Commander Xu Zhenghong, he hesitated for a mont, then asked, “Division Commander, what have you considered about the expansion of the dical team?”
“When did you start caring about things unrelated to equipnt and training?” Xu Zhenghong leaned forward inquiringly, “Tell , do you have soone on your mind and you’re thinking of bringing her into the dical team?
If it’s true, I’ll take care of the hiring process for you imdiately.”
Zhou Mikang stood up, his face sour: “Division Commander, if there’s nothing else, I’m heading back.”
“Sit down, sit down…” Xu Zhenghong’s expression beca serious, staring intently at Zhou Mikang, “As soon as we talk about serious matters, you think of escaping.
Take a seat properly!”
Zhou Mikang, hands on the table, looked directly at Xu Zhenghong: “Are you speaking to now as the Division Commander of Division A or as my aunt’s husband?”
“Both.” Xu Zhenghong quickly rose and walked behind Zhou Mikang, pressing him back into his chair, “Even if it’s just out of sympathy for your uncle by marriage, share the truth with .
Do you have a girl you like?”
Zhou Mikang glanced at him indifferently: “Have my grandma, my mom, and my aunt been pressuring you again?”
“It’s not just simple pressure…” Xu Zhenghong made an exaggeratedly agonized expression, “You can run off to train for days without returning, not answering calls, not replying to letters, ignoring telegrams, but I can’t do that.
Your aunt has given an ultimatum to reduce your workload so you go on blind dates, or else, she’s said I won’t be allowed to co ho for a month.”
Zhou Mikang nodded, “I understand.”
“Mikang, you can’t be so ruthless…” Xu Zhenghong panicked, “What do you an you understand?
Can you give a definitive answer?
You asked several tis about the expansion of the health team.
Tell the truth, do you really have soone in mind?
If that’s really the case, just let your family know so they can be at ease.
You said that you and…” Sensing Zhou Mikang’s suddenly colder aura, Xu Zhenghong imdiately swallowed the rest of his words and said sheepishly, “Okay, okay, I won’t bring up the past…”
“You already did,” Zhou Mikang said coldly, staring at Xu Zhenghong.
“As for the equipnt, you’d better fight for it yourself.
I’m very busy and don’t have the ti.”
“Mikang, don’t be like this, you already promised …” Xu Zhenghong’s face imdiately turned into a bitter one, “You know very well that Elder Zhao likes you the most…”
“…”
“Uncle is wrong, but Mikang, you have to understand Uncle’s difficulties.
They can’t get through to you, so they press instead, sigh…”
“I’ll go ho tonight and talk to them.”
“Really?” Xu Zhenghong jumped up excitedly, “That’s great, Mikang, that’s wonderful, Uncle is really happy for you, haha…”
“What did I say that makes you so happy?” Zhou Mikang glanced at him indifferently, picked up the folder, and left the office without looking back.
Xu Zhenghong rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, “Little ancestor, am I the Division Commander or are you?
Am I the elder or are you?…” Muttering to himself, he quickly dialed the switchboard, transferred to the Zhou residence, and triumphantly reported the latest news to the eagerly awaiting elders.
“Commander, how did it go?” As soon as Zhou Mikang entered the office, Zhou Hanliang rushed up anxiously.
“Nothing much, just tell Xiao Song to wait a bit longer,” Zhou Mikang replied with an indifferent expression, putting down the folder.
“I’ll go ho tonight; you co with .”
“Okay,” Zhou Hanliang nodded, “Commander, about that…”
Zhou Mikang gave him a stern look, “Speak up, stop fussing like a woman!”
“Luo Hongqi has been performing quite well in the new recruits’ company; Company Commander Wang is quite satisfied.”
“Hmm.”
“And, he hasn’t gotten engaged to Lin Chuxia.”
“Hmm.”
“Commander, I said he hasn’t gotten engaged to Lin Chuxia.”
“I’m not deaf.”
“I…
I’m going out then.”
“Why didn’t you tell earlier?”
“Huh?” An already departing Zhou Hanliang paused, then realized, “I…
I didn’t know whether you wanted to hear it or not.
Commander, can you please give a straight answer?
I feel that you treat Lin Chuxia differently from other girls, but then, you say it’s because she reminds you of Raorao.
You are kind to her just out of rembrance for Raorao.
I really can’t figure out now what about her I should report to you and what I shouldn’t.”
A book flew from Zhou Mikang’s hand, hitting him, “She’s several years younger than Raorao.
What nonsense are you thinking?
My concern for her is because I don’t want her to get hurt.
Understand?”
“Then…” Zhou Hanliang moved back towards the desk, “When the approval for the health team expansion cos through, should we…
recruit her too?”
