103 visits back to her parents' home

  "Mom, I'll definitely give you a big fat grandson."

  Jin Meichen raised a victorious flag for Jiang Mu's childbirth.

  Manman's wish is simple - as long as the child is born safely, grows up safely, and becomes an adult safely.

  It's easy to say, but it's actually a must for every family, and it's really not easy at all.

  Arrived at your unit, sir.

  The head nurse they had met last time was already waiting for them at the door.

  "Dr. Fang is waiting for you in the consulting room." The head nurse led them to the examination room and introduced.

  The obstetrician arranged by Brother Jun for his sister is named Fang Min.

  Hearing that it was a female doctor, Manman and Jiang Mei walked into the examination room, only to see a tall figure with short hair standing with his back to them.

  "Dr. Fang, Lu Xiaojie's sister is here."

  He turned around, a handsome and slightly rounded face, walking with his head held high and a big stride, wearing a white coat that made him look like a man no matter how you looked at him.

  "Is it here?"

  Even the voice and tone are completely neutral.

  Manman and Jiang Mei looked at each other's loose clothes underneath which seemed to be flat chests, and for a moment they were both at a loss.

  When the nurse was about to leave, Jiang Mei couldn't help but ask: "Is she a boy or a girl?"

  "The female one." The head nurse smiled, seemingly having received many similar questions before. "Doctor Fang is very handsome and was chased by many girls before getting married. Now she's a mother of a six-year-old child."

  The sentence behind made Manman and Jiang Mei fall.

  The mother of a six-year-old child?

  Can't see it at all!

  Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes filled with surprise, Fang Min casually rubbed his nose: "Sit down. Lu Shang and I graduated from the same school, and we were like brothers in school. You're called Manman, right? Lu Shang's younger sister is also my younger sister. Can I call you Manman directly?"

  Since everyone has already called her "little sister", Manman carefully said: "Fang big sister, hello."

  "You can call me Square Brother."

  This cold joke that can be compared with Jun Ye immediately made Man Man and Jiang Mei both speechless.

  Anyway, Fang Min doesn't seem like a bad person. Manman can only think this way, mainly because Fang Min's gaze and eyes seemed to be dissatisfied with her. Manman is worried, did she do something wrong?

  "Isn't he your son?" Fang Min pointed at Xiao Dongzi who was hiding behind Mianmian, looking like Mianmian's little follower.

  Xiao Dongzi is now closer to his aunt than his mother.

  "He is my husband's nephew." Manman patted Xiaodongzi's head, "His mother is her - my husband's second sister."

  "Little aunt is coming together, isn't it a bit unsettling?" Dr. Fang raised his handsome eyebrows.

  Jiang Mei knew that doctors have strong self-esteem and quickly said: "No, it's her first pregnancy, she's a bit scared."

  But Dr. Fang nodded at her words: "She needs to be afraid. Panda blood pregnant women, no matter what, the danger of pregnancy and childbirth is higher than that of ordinary pregnant women. And——" Dissatisfied eyes scanned Xiangxiang's thin figure again: "I think she will probably have a difficult delivery."

  Jiang Mei was unhappy with this: What kind of doctor is Master Jun arranging? First, he didn't comfort the pregnant woman, but instead spoke alarmingly and created tension for Manman.

  "Don't look at her being so thin, she's actually quite healthy," said Jiang Mei.

  Manman also nodded: "I've never had a serious illness, everything is normal."

  "But I heard your brother say that you were seriously ill when you were young." He put down the pen in his pocket, and with a casual and handsome gesture, he looked like a man.

  Manman and Jiang Mei looked at her, both of them were quite stunned: Is this Doctor Fang reliable or not?

  At this time, the door creaked twice, and the person who came in was handsome like a fairy, Mr. Yao.

  "Lu Jun has gone to a meeting, let me come over and introduce you." Mr. Yao said, as if he had expected their reaction, with one hand patting Fang Min's shoulder like a good brother, smiling, "She graduated from the same school as us. In obstetrics, she is considered the best in our department. There is no woman who can't be handled by her."

  "Don't flatter me like that." Fang Min didn't quite agree with Master Yao's words, shaking the pen and pointing at Manman, "I've already discussed it with her beforehand, there's an 80% chance of a difficult delivery, we should prepare for a cesarean section first."

  "That won't do." Manman and Jiang Mei didn't have time to veto, Yao Ye took a step ahead, biting his eyes, the narrow and long eyes seemed to be dangerously narrowed, "Lu Jun told me to tell you first, cannot have a cesarean section, can only give birth naturally, it's an order."

  Man Man and Jiang Mei looked at each other: Orders?

  Even if you don't want a cesarean section, what you just said is a bit too forceful, isn't it? You used an order.

  Fang Min shouted: "Look at her figure, can she give birth normally? You're bullying people."

  It seems that these two guys often bully others, including those they call "brothers".

  Mr. Yao's fingertips brushed aside his bangs, seemingly not having heard Fang Min's words. His long eyebrows slightly raised: "You yourself are clear about the nature of Lu Jun's words. If you can't do it, then pack up and leave."

  How cruel!

  This was a fleeting thought that flashed through Mianmian and Jiang Mei's minds.

  Manman thought: If I were Fang Min, and Grandpa threatened me like this, then I wouldn't do it. Isn't Fang Min very skilled? Wouldn't anyone want her wherever she goes?

  But in fact, Fang Min surrendered and immediately raised a white flag: "I did my best."

  "I and Lu Jun only look at the results." Mr. Yao threw out this sentence in response to her answer.

  Manman and Jiang Mei suddenly felt sympathetic towards this Fang doctor.

  Manman thought: It's such a bother for others, why not just find another doctor?

  "I'd better go back to Er Jie's unit for a check-up. The doctors there are familiar with me, and Director Liu said that although I'm thin, as long as I take good care of myself and supplement my diet properly, I can still gain weight during pregnancy."

  As a result, Mr. Yao did not speak up, and Fang Min's pen was like a whip pointing at her: "You can get fat? What a joke, the biggest joke ever. I think even if you eat ten old hens every day, you won't be able to get fat. I've seen too many pregnant women like you."

  Jiang Mei lifted her head: always felt that such an arrangement is not right.

  Moreover, this female doctor's words and deeds seem even more rough than a male doctor.

  "Can we arrange for another doctor?" Jiang Mei asked Yao Ye in a low voice.

  No matter what, Manman is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family and will give birth to the Jiang family's grandchildren. Jiang Mei cannot let her sister-in-law make any mistakes in this matter.

  Yao Ye's narrow and long eyebrows converged in the middle, he said to Jiang Mei: "She is absolutely going to be next. If you don't want to find her, you need to go and tell Lu Jun personally."

  Go and negotiate with Master Jun personally?

  Jiang Mei didn't have the courage, and hesitated: "Is she reliable?"

  "Man Man is Lu Jun's sister, don't you think it's unreliable? Moreover, whatever she does to Man Man, we will be monitoring from the side."

  Jiang Mei finally understood: The Lu family was more than a hundred times more anxious about Mianmian's production than their own Jiang family.

  Arrange for Dr Fang, mainly in order to make it easier for them to control the whole situation.

  What makes Lu's family seem like they're facing a formidable enemy?

  Enumerating the dangerous factors among them, Master Yao can easily list several. Apart from Mengmeng's own panda blood, external factors include Jiang Mu, Jin Meichen, and the Wen family gang. These are minor ones; major ones include Yang Le'er's death - if Old Lady Wen doesn't make an issue out of Nannan's affair, it won't be possible.

  It's settled then.

  Manman followed Fang Min into the house to investigate.

  Jiang Mei and Xiao Dongzi sat outside, watching Mr. Yao standing by the office desk, his slender fingertips occasionally flipping through the medical records on the table, and his slender eyebrows furrowed from time to time, as if he was dissatisfied with everything just like Fang Min.

  The mother and son were a little nervous, when the door handle turned, they heard the nurse's soft voice say: "The doctor thinks it's okay, I'll arrange for someone to come."

  "For the time being, it's not necessary. If she needs special care, I'll have her come to the hospital instead of staying at home. Besides, she will be living with her parents for a while now, so there's no need for me to be at home."

  This is probably about some families inviting nurses to their homes to guide expectant mothers.

  Hearing you say so, the head nurse hurriedly said: "If it's at the department head's home, then of course there's no need."

  Xiao Dongzi whispered into his mother's ear: "Isn't Auntie living at home anymore?"

  The little guy's tone wasn't very happy. If Mianmian didn't live at home, but lived at the Lu's house, he wouldn't be able to play with his aunt every day without any restrictions.

  This thing has never been mentioned by Manman even half a sentence. Jiang Mei frowned.

  Jun Ye walked in and saw them sitting on a bench, his eyes cold and distant, without looking at them much.

  Because of her son's eyes having received favors from Master Jun, Jiang Mei took the initiative to stand up and greeted: "General Lu."

  "Sit down," said Jun Ye.

  Politeness and courtesy are there, but somehow lacking in enthusiasm.

  As for the Jiang family, the Lu family had always been distant. Jiang Mei was well aware that this was all because of her own mother and brother's actions. However, Jun Ye's excessive politeness still made Jiang Mei feel uneasy, so she spoke out the words that had been lingering in her heart: "Colonel Lu, I just mentioned it to Colonel Yao. Colonel Yao said I should ask for your opinion. I think, let Manman go back to my unit to take a look, and I'm familiar with the doctors in our unit. Although something happened last time, it was another doctor, and I'll get our department head to personally check on Manman, so you can rest assured."

  "Who are you worried about?" Jun Ye's piercing gaze swept across her face.

  Jiang Mei was taken aback by the question: "I know Dr. Fang is highly skilled, but somehow he and Mianmian don't seem to get along very well. I've had children before, so I know how important it is for a pregnant woman to have an obstetrician she gets along with..."

  "Don't worry about this. If she can't make it at that time, I'll let someone or myself replace her position. I'm Mianmian's brother, there's no such thing as being compatible or not."

  Jiang Mei couldn't understand the meaning of Jun Ye's words, and Xiao Dongzi was shocked to pucker up his small mouth: "You, you can deliver babies? Don't scare the little kids."

  He hastily reached out to cover his son's mouth, but it was too late.

  Even two children suspected themselves, how could Jun Ye's face not turn black? Thinking about it, it was all because of that Wang Yunyun.

  "Am I scaring the kid? You're absolutely right." Jun Ye's smile at the corner of his mouth seemed warm and friendly, but was actually icy cold. "Do you know why kids are often spanked?"

  The mother and son glared at him with their profound and unfathomable icy faces.

  "Because naughty kids are born to be spanked. If they're not well-behaved in their mother's womb, daring to come out with their buttocks first, they'll get spanked on the buttocks. After being spanked, they learn to put their head out first and quickly crawl out of their mother's womb; otherwise, they'll still be spanked. Even after birth, if they don't cry, they'll still be spanked. Now, they're still disobedient and talk nonsense..."

  Jiang Mei was stunned by Jun Ye's obstetric theory.

  The little Dongzi covered his buttocks with both hands, feeling that the man in front of him was too dangerous, as if he would spank the child at any time. He couldn't help but feel a chill for the sake of his aunt's unborn child: it's not that Little Dongzi won't help you, little cousins, it's just that your uncle is born to be a bit of a tyrant.

  Even if it's Master Yao, he was startled by Master Jun's serious and cold words in response to Xiao Dongzi: It can be seen that since the incident with Wang Yunyun, Master Jun has been overly sensitive about this matter.

  However, don't underestimate the cold joke of Jun Ye, the science in it is one by one, Jiang Mei can't refute it and has nothing to say.

  Fang Min walked out from behind the white curtain and explained to several patients' families: "I think the most important thing is weight and nutrition. As for some immune sensitivity issues caused by her special blood type, they are not very important. After all, this is her first pregnancy and childbirth, so the possibility of antibody-induced miscarriage is small. However, if it's due to physical weakness causing miscarriage or massive bleeding, the possibility will be slightly higher. Moreover, she herself has some symptoms of anemia. In short, let's strengthen nutrition first, we can help her find a nutritionist."

  As for what to eat and how to eat well, Jiang Mei thinks that as long as she can do it herself, it's not a big deal. She says: "My sister-in-law is a natural-born chef, everything she cooks tastes good."

  Fang Ming just raised an eyebrow.

  "Her meals, I'll order them myself. My mom will cook each one personally. Any problem with that?"

  It seems to have become a foregone conclusion that Meimei will be living with her natal family from now on. Jiang Mei had to say something: "Colonel Lu, it's not me reminding you, but Meimei is married. If my brother can't take care of her in the army, she should either go to my mom or dad's house for care, or my parents should go to her house to take care of her, fulfilling their responsibilities as in-laws, rather than our Jiang family being irresponsible and letting her return to her natal family."

  "What will happen to the reputation of the Jiang family, it's not on your mind, they just want their daughter to be safe. Besides, Leng Chi said: 'If there are two pregnant women in the house at the same time, can your mother take care of them?'"

  Your news is well-informed.

  Jin Meichen must be pregnant.

  Jiang Mei was shocked into becoming mute.

  When Manman walked out, she just heard the few words behind her. She didn't mention how Jin Meichen and Jiang Mu were doing, nor did she ever expect anything from Jiang Mu. So when Junye suggested going back to her parents' house to live, she disagreed: "A Yan said he would come home often to see me after this. If I or the child have any problems, he can take leave to come back and take care of us."

  "Whether your husband comes back or not is not a problem. He and you will move to the Lu family's house together." Master Jun's words were final.

  "The moon's eyebrows were furrowed: 'This is not suitable, I will go back and add trouble.'"

  "What's the trouble?" With these words, even Master Yao couldn't help but listen. The light in his eyes flowed towards her, "Man Man, that is your mother's family. It is only natural for them to take care of you and be concerned about you. You can't say it's troublesome. No one would feel troubled."

  Shut your mouth.

  "Let the Jiang family go first," said Jun Ye. "I'll take her back with me when I return at noon, so you can all leave now."

  "Aren't you still going to work?" Jiang Mei and Manman asked in unison.

  "She came to my office and waited for me. As a younger sister, waiting for her older brother to send her off is not a problem." Jun Ye patted the table and left, but Jiang Mei's exaggerated reaction made him very displeased.

  It proved that Jiang Mei was indeed a good person, but at this time, she couldn't help but feel uneasy about handing over Manman to the Lu family, as if her heart still wasn't at peace.

  After all, the Lu family has always been shrouded in mystery for many people, unlike Wen Shi Xuan who seems reliable at first glance.

  Manman saw Jiang Mei and her mother off to the door.

  "You go back." Jiang Mei was afraid that she would have a hard time, so she stopped her from going further and didn't want Master Jun to see her again.

  "Second sister, my brother's temper..." Mianmian didn't know how to describe this brother she had just acknowledged. If you say that Junye is not good, the heart under his cold face may not be entirely bad. If you say that Junye is very good, then that stinky temper is unbearable for anyone. Only those who have been abused by Junye from the beginning can bear it.

  Xiao Dongzi saw that the two adults were about to speak but hesitated, and his heart was anxious. He worried that his younger brother or sister would be mistreated by the lord before they were even born. He said: "Auntie, take good care of your child. He said that all children will be spanked."

  Man Man and Jiang Mei were both speechless.

  Jiang Mei quickly pulled her son away, lest they be heard by Jun Ye. Once Jun Ye's temper flared up, it was always Xiao Dongzi who bore the brunt of it first.

  The nurse who was followed led back to Mr. Jun's office.

  She has only been to this office twice. The first time wasn't even her own brother. The second time, knowing it was her brother, she didn't have the feeling of being a younger sister. On Master Jun's desk, the photo frame with the family portrait that included Nangnang was still in the most conspicuous position.

  She didn't go over there, sat on the sofa, quietly holding the warm boiled water brought by the nurse.

  Busy Jun Ye, not coming back so soon, watching the clock on the wall ticking away second by second, for the usually busy Mian Mian, it's not only dull but also feels like a waste of time.

  Picked up the phone and sent messages to Chu Xia Shige and her husband.

  The aftermath of the gallery fire did not slow down due to Du Yu's hospitalization. The debt collectors were pressing hard. With his wife's help, Du Yu started working on the third day after the incident. His wife was supposed to help out anyway, and fortunately, Tan Mu, Xia Xia's mother, arrived just in time. Tan Mu was a very capable person, a well-known accountant who had handled the financial settlements of large companies. While taking care of her pregnant daughter, Tan Mu also guided her son-in-law on how to handle the gallery's financial aftermath, contacted lawyers, and filed an application with the court to pursue compensation from the arsonist's relatives.

  In such a smooth situation, Tan Mu became interested when her daughter mentioned that she wanted to start a restaurant with Manman. Manman was not like her own daughter, loved cooking, and did it well with a lot of character, all of which Tan Mu knew.

  At the beginning of summer, it seemed a bit idle to see the short message sent by the dead party, so I handed over the phone to my mother.

  "Is it tangled?"

  "Auntie, hello." Manman showed some respect towards Tanmu and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

  "Alright, alright." Tan's mother had already heard Du Yu say it before, and it was possible that her own daughter had caused the trouble, so the responsibility for the fire was not on Manman's body. Instead, she felt a bit sorry for Manman and said, "When do you have time to come over and let me take a look at you? I haven't seen you in such a long time, I don't even know if you're thinner or fatter now."

  Tan's old home is not in the city where Manman lives. Manman only stayed with Tan for a short period of time when she was in college, during holidays and early summer, when she went to play at Tan's old home. However, this short stay left a deep impression on Manman from Tan's mother.

  Tan's mother in my memory has a bit of the spirit of Niangzi Liulang, spirited and efficient, with short hair and neat clothes that can't be faulted. When she speaks, it's like a machine gun firing rapidly.

  "Auntie, you must be at the hospital where Shifu's brother lives. In that case, I'll go visit Shifu tomorrow."

  "Hmm, when you come over, help me thank your senior brother and Chunxia's benefactor. I have to properly thank them." Tan Mu said.

  The lifesaver is two grandfathers.

  Manman said: "Auntie doesn't need to be polite."

  My grandfather saved people that day just because it was necessary.

  "How can this be?" Tan's mother insisted, being well-versed in human relationships and worldly affairs.

  So when Jun Ye came back, Manman found a topic that wasn't painful or itchy and talked to her brother about it.

  "Your mom wants to see you and Uncle Yao in early summer."

  Manman said this a bit hastily, just as Junye was entering the door.

  Unexpectedly, Jun Ye, who didn't think she would take the initiative to speak, was slow for a beat, his cold eyes stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Oh, what person?"

  "It's early summer, mom, I want to thank you in person."

  "A glance swept across her somewhat urgent face: 'Are you very familiar with her?'"

  "Early summer is my best friend, Auntie is a very good person."

  Early summer and Du Yu, she knew these two people were important to her. There was no need to give up these chips. Leng Mei raised an eyebrow: "When you go see your Shixiong, I'll take you there."

  This can be considered as agreeing with her.

  Manman quickly pressed down on the message notification for Chuxia and Shige.

  I know Dead Party and Master Brother Du Yu. For the two masters, I have always been respectful but kept a distance. To meet with them and talk, one needs to be prepared.

  "Don't always put your phone by your side, it's bad for pregnant women." Master Jun's words were a bit unnecessary.

  "I know." Manman lowered her head and stared at her phone.

  Wearing a watch, Jun Ye slowly took the car key, and in his heart, he vaguely felt that this atmosphere was not like siblings at all, but rather like strangers who knew each other's relationship.

  Of course, he knew this feeling, and as a younger brother, Lu Huan had complained to him about it more than once.

  So, it's necessary for her to go back to her parents' home at this time.

  It's almost noon, I have to hurry back to Lu's house for lunch.

  Manman walked behind Jun Ye, keeping a certain distance.

  He slowed down his pace, and she followed suit. He sped up, and she kept up with him.

  He helplessly said: It's like walking a dog.

  When he was young, if his younger brother and sister followed him like a dog, he would feel happy. But now that he has grown up, it is impossible for him to treat his younger brother and sister like dogs. Moreover, as an older brother, his role is more of a protective umbrella.

  As she entered the elevator, she saw that there were suddenly more people coming in. A large hand reached out and wrapped around her shoulder, pulling her inside, the action natural without a hint of hesitation.

  When she was pulled in, Manman's hair stood up like a hedgehog. After a while, Yuèyá's eyes quietly lifted, and he saw that he was like a copper wall and iron wall, blocking people who might touch her around him.

  An icy profile, a stern side face, yet like an umbrella, like a mountain, shading over her head, magnified in her eyes: this man is her brother...

  "What's wrong?" The icy gaze lowered, meeting her eye pupils.

  He immediately lowered his head: "Nothing."

  Many times, it is beyond one's control; people are emotional animals rather than rational ones.

  "Vines." The swaying in her heart seemed to have also reached his, and with a cold lip, he managed to utter some words, "I, as your brother, don't have any requests, just be good, peaceful and safe, nothing else is needed."

  It made her pause for a moment.

  A strange flavor, an unprecedented flavor, unfolded in her heart.

  Sour and sticky, mixed with warmth and astringency.

  After the elevator door opened with a "ding", a group of people walked ahead, leaving just the two of them, who this time walked out shoulder to shoulder in a relatively normal manner.

  The master sighed heavily in his heart: Fortunately, it's not like being led by a dog.

  In the Lu family, Mrs. Lu received a call from her son early in the morning, saying that her daughter would be coming home for lunch today, which made her extremely happy and busy.

  The younger son returned home first and was immediately sent out by her to add dishes.

  "What does your sister like to eat?" Mrs. Lu asked, having spent very little time with her daughter and still unclear about her tastes, she turned to ask her younger son.

  Lu Huan only remembered that Manman liked drinking mineral water. When asked by her mother, she hesitated: "She... has a light taste, like plain water."

  "She likes light flavors, so she definitely won't like cured meats like bacon." Mrs. Lu thought for a moment, "That's right, she grew up in the south and southerners love seafood. I have a fish here, see if you can go get some shrimp to go with it."

  "Mom, sister has a child." Lu Huan reminded her mother not to lose her composure in her haste.

  Is it good for pregnant women to eat shrimp? Madame Lu was completely at a loss. It can be said that when it comes to her daughter's affairs, she herself is completely confused, even though she is the mother of three children.

  Rushed back to the room, wanting to find some old recipes to look through.

  Lu Huan saw his mother like this and didn't dare leave her alone at home. He followed her into the room to look for books.

  When Brother Jun led his sister back home, he saw that there was no one in the living room. He frowned and walked into the kitchen without taking off his shoes. The fire in the kitchen had gone out, and it seemed that only the rice had been cooked.

  Didn't you call home and inform them first?

  At this time, Manman couldn't help but feel a little nervous and called out: "Mom, mom——"

  I'm worried about what might happen to Mrs. Lu.

  A mother and daughter's bond is unbreakable.

  His eyes scanned her anxious face, and Jun Ye suddenly felt relieved: his mother was so worried about her daughter, there was no regret.

  "Brother, we're here." Lu Huan stuck his head out of the study, a mess of grey hair.

  "What are you doing? Why aren't you cooking?" Master Jun rarely complained, but today's anomaly had clearly gotten on his nerves.

  "Looking for a recipe. Mom said there's one, might have been hidden by dad. Called dad to ask, but he couldn't even remember himself. So, the two of us are searching in the study." Lu Huan said with outstretched hands.

  When being a younger son, he is not as strict as his elder brother, and his dependence on his mother is also indulgent.

  Manman followed Junye to the door of the study, poking her head in and taking a look. The scattered boxes of books on the floor made her gasp at the vast number of books in the Lu family's collection.

  "What's the point of having a dietary restriction list? Can't she just call me to ask what she can eat?" He raised an eyebrow, bluntly pointing out that the two of them were like headless flies.

  "I reminded mom. But mom said, asking brother is definitely not going to work." Obviously, most people agree with their mother's words, "Brother, you forgot, when our family members are sick, who can eat the diet you prescribed? Every day it's plain porridge and salted vegetables, fish can't be pan-fried or steamed, only boiled, and green vegetables are also boiled, without any flavor. Eating like this is enough to make people vomit. Relying on you, my sister will not be able to eat, unless she wants to become as thin as a bean sprout. My sister's baby in her belly must be complaining every day that his uncle is abusing him."

  His face suddenly turned black as coal.

  She was overjoyed and wanted to laugh with the child in her belly, but thinking of her brother-in-law's face, which was covered with a black pot, she held back her laughter. Then she looked again and saw Lu Huan winking at her.

  This younger brother doesn't make her as wary as you do.

  At this moment, Mrs. Lu found the dusty old recipe book, stood up and dusted off the dust on the book, looked up and saw that her eldest son had brought back their daughter, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Not a single dish has been cooked."

  "Mom, let me help you." As she spoke, Manman rolled up her sleeves.

  A hand stopped her, a cold voice with a hint of indignation: "You go and sit in the living room with Huan. I'll help out."

  Can you cook?

  It was as if I had seen the end of the world.

  "Isn't it just a cold dish?" Mianmian muttered softly.

  Lu Huan pulled her into the living room, turned on the TV and said: "My brother is in the army, of course he has learned to cook. He took a nutrition course. It's just that he rarely cooks."

  To put it simply, Lu Huan didn't know what kind of cooking skills Jun Ye had either.

  "Didn't you say he can't pan-fry fish and can't steam fish, he can only boil fish?"

  The brother and sister looked at each other.

  Lu Huan threw down the remote control, ran into her room and came out with a box of cookies, winking at her: "Don't worry, I have snacks in my room, chocolate, cookies, everything is available, just for this kind of emergency."

  Still having a common language with her brother, Manman and Lu Huan leaned their heads together, prying open the cookie box, discussing the snacks inside.

  Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy whenever she poked her head out of the kitchen and saw her younger son and daughter huddled together in a tight, intimate ball. Turning back to face her eldest son, who was sharpening his knife on the chopping board, she said: "You, don't be too harsh on her. Girls need to be spoiled."

  "She is not my wife. Even if she were, I wouldn't spoil her." The word "spoil" does not exist in Jun Ye's dictionary, regardless of whether it's a man or a woman.

  Scowled at the eldest son, this eldest son is good in everything, but has a bad temper. His own daughter can be ignored. What about Bai Lu? Such a beautiful fiancée, always doting on him.

  "After Nainai's matter is settled, you should consider your marriage with Bailu." Madam Lu reminded her son.

  "Want to hold grandsons and granddaughters, let's have them born first." Jun Ye was not in a hurry at all.

  Emotions are used as a shield by taking advantage of one's younger sister's child.

  Mrs. Lu was so "angry" with her son's words that she rolled her eyes.

  He leisurely ground the fish scales on the blade, and in his icy eyes, a glimpse of the army's number one beauty flashed by due to his mother's words.

  Everyone envies him for having a beautiful fiancée, but only he himself knows that this is nothing to be proud of.

  If possible, he wanted to be like his brother-in-law Jiang Dashao, who only married a woman as ordinary as his sister.

  ……

  Bai Lu was transferred to work in the personnel unit of the troops in recent years. Before that, she had always been with the cultural troupe.

  Many people did not understand her transfer and even thought it was a demotion.

  Actually it's not, this is a case of overt demotion and covert promotion.

  Perhaps, on the dazzling stage, her slender figure could bring her more glory. However, she didn't need it; after meeting that man, she only wanted to be a small flower blooming quietly behind the scenes, accompanying him.

  Many people thought that man was not good enough for her, she is the number one beauty in the whole army, what kind of man would be missing, besides the Bai family background is not bad.

  Only the Bai family and she are clear about it. That man is a low-key behind-the-scenes manipulator. The Lu family loves to play such roles, and her fiancé is one of them. Not to mention other things, just talking about the position that was fought for with bloodshed in the past few days, Jun Ye's one sentence can make someone die or live.

  That man is very cruel and ruthless.

  The master said one sentence: Whose body looks more long-lived?

  Troops place more emphasis on physical conditions than ordinary enterprise units.

  It's not difficult for His Majesty, who has absolute advantage and control in this regard, to take the opportunity to get rid of some high-ranking military officers.

  She was transferred to the personnel unit, which is both a requirement of the Lu family for her as their future daughter-in-law and an arrangement made by the Bai and Lu families after joint discussion. Here, she needs to grasp the pulse of the troops' personnel at all times and secretly support her fiancé's career.

  Being an excellent high-ranking female official is not easy, it requires sacrificing one's own interests to complete the family business. Yet she always thought she was lucky, lucky to have met him, which made her willing to do these things wholeheartedly.

  Even until today, she still has mixed feelings in her heart. Why did she fall in love with this cold-blooded and ruthless man at first sight?

  At noon, colleagues in the same department all went to the cafeteria or ate out.

  The halo of a former stage beauty can only stimulate Bai Lu to be more demanding of herself. She will not get off work until it is done, and she never gives people the excuse to mock her as a "flower vase".

  When she finished work, it was past lunchtime and the canteen had already closed. She grabbed her bag and took advantage of going out to take care of some business, and casually had a meal outside.

  Took the bus, arrived at the office building, saw that the door was still closed in the afternoon and no one was working. There happened to be a authentic Chinese restaurant across the street, went in and ordered a set meal.

  She walked over with a tray in her hand and suddenly saw a man and woman sitting diagonally across from her, looking somewhat familiar.

  Taking a closer look, they were all people I had seen in photos. The woman was Wen Xuan, Mengmeng's younger sister from the Wen family, and the man was Yang Xiuyi, the eldest young master of the Yang family who had recently returned from studying abroad.

  Because of Manman's involvement with her fiancé, the Bai family has been keeping track of Manman's affairs all along. She is the one who knows the most about it.

  It seems that the Yang family has never let go of Wen Huan as a bargaining chip.

  The beautiful eyebrows of Bailu are both flying and tight: what on earth are these two people talking about?

  Yang Xiu made an appointment with Wen Huan according to plan. Wen Huan's school was nearby, so the two of them had a meal at a nearby restaurant.

  "Aren't you afraid that someone will follow me and incidentally follow you?" Wen Huan's first sentence to Yang Xiu was icy.

  If it wasn't Yang Xiu himself calling to invite her, if it was that annoying Wang Hai, she wouldn't want to see them at all, not even to tell the Lu family who had been following her.

  Yang Xiu had to put in some effort to get her out, not mentioning the jade pendant, and unlike Wang Hai, he didn't coerce her. He just said: "Let me invite you to dinner. I know you like drinking soup, and I know a restaurant that serves good soup."

  Girls are girls, especially those in their youth, being invited by a handsome young man is always hard to resist.

  After meeting, Yang Xiu had to admit that Wen Huan was more sophisticated than the average girl of her time. I don't know how the Wen family raised her, but they managed to raise such a girl. Thinking about Wen Shi Xuan and Xu Yu E, one is honest and the other is foolish, neither could have taught such a girl. Not to mention Man Man, she has the terrifying bloodline of the Lu family in her bones.

  "I believe you can shake him off." Yang Xiuzheng said calmly, no matter how gloomy this girl was, after all, she was young and couldn't escape his grasp.

  Indeed, for Wen Huan, once she learned a lesson, she wouldn't make the same mistake again. After Jin Mei Chen and Grandma Wen revealed their true nature in front of the Lu family, smart as she was, she knew that she had been followed by the Lu family to get to the bottom of things.

  To shake off the people following her from Lu's family, occasionally once or twice, as long as it wasn't for too long, with her abilities, she could still manage to do so.

  "You asked me out just to have dinner with me?" Wen Huan pinched the spoon in her hand, having no interest in this delicious soup, but rather in the purpose of this man asking her out.

  The man in front of her, to be honest, is quite good-looking in every way, and is not on the same level as Wang Hai, apparently a master.

  "I want to talk to you about something. If you're willing to listen."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Do you hate your sister?"

  "No resentment."

  The two words "Wen Yuan" were spoken very firmly.

  What is she doing? She's not stupid. After what happened with Yang Le'er, she has thought it through clearly.

  "You hate is Jun Ye."

  Yang Xiu's next sentence made her complexion suddenly change slightly.

  "What do you mean by that?"

  Her sharp eyebrows saw through her smile: "You like him, or should I say you've already fallen in love with that man, haven't you?"

  The spoon in her hand "clanged" into the bowl, splashing up a large piece of hot soup, scalding a patch of red on the back of her hand.

  "It's not strange. You're already eighteen, an adult, and it's normal to have a crush on someone. If you want to get that guy or just make him miserable, I can help you."

  Is that so?

  She fell in love with that man at first sight? So she hated that man to the bone, and didn't mind making things difficult for that man's precious sister?
