"The patriarch of the Su Family is ill," Wang Fangyi said during dinner, "Tomorrow, I plan to go visit him with your mom."
"I just learned about this," Yang Aiguo said, "I heard he woke up once, but now he’s in a coma again. I wanted to tell you, I’m going with you."
He was his old chief, and now that this has happened, Yang Aiguo feels uncomfortable.
"We were just having tea together the other day, he seemed so robust, and now suddenly he’s down." Wang Fangyi said with a bit of nostalgia.
"Thinking about Old Su’s life, it’s really not easy," Zheng Xiangjun said sentimentally, "Among all our old comrades, I admire him the most."
As for why the most admired, Zheng Xiangjun didn’t say, and Gu Lingling didn’t know.
She looked around blankly, lowering her head to continue eating the food Yang Yunhai was feeding her.
Uh... there’s quite a lot, if she keeps eating like this, she’ll probably gain a few pounds again today.
Gu Lingling quietly pinched her waist, recently it seems she has gained quite a bit of weight from being fed, her jeans felt a bit tight today.
She secretly decided, once Yang Yunhai leaves, she must lose weight, she can’t keep getting this fat.
"You’re not fat," Yang Yunhai whispered as he leaned over, "It’s just right."
It feels nice, she was too skinny before.
Gu Lingling, "..."
This guy seems to know everything, he’s like a worm in her stomach.
After dinner, the men went to the study to discuss matters, while Wang Shuyun and Gu Lingling accompanied Zheng Xiangjun for a walk under the tree-shaded corridor in the military area, but they hadn’t gone far before they saw Shen Lingyu and her mother approaching.
Seeing Gu Lingling, Shen Lingyu’s expression stiffened, but Mrs. Shen smiled as she pulled her daughter over to greet them, "This must be Yunhai’s little wife, right? She’s so pretty, no wonder she managed to win over our Yunhai."
"You are truly blessed, such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law, even prettier than Shuyun’s troupe’s star Zhuzi."
Gu Lingling pretended not to understand the implications in her words.
Zheng Xiangjun, this old revolutionary, wasn’t so easygoing.
What did she mean by that? Saying that Yunhai is superficial, just seeing how good-looking the girl is, and hence pursuing someone much younger?
What little wife? What won over?
"Of course, our Lingling is not just beautiful, she’s smart, skilled, filial, and virtuous, such a granddaughter-in-law, I’m completely satisfied," Zheng Xiangjun said with a smile.
"If Yunhai chose someone else, I might not agree."
This someone else clearly refers to the Shen Lingyu in front of them, doesn’t it?
Don’t think she hasn’t heard the rumors over the years, it’s just that they’re all living in the same military family compound, with faces they see regularly, so she’s kept face.
But now if someone wants to badmouth her grandson and granddaughter-in-law in front of her, that’s not going to happen, because Zheng Xiangjun is very protective.
Mrs. Shen felt awkward after being subtly rebuffed but was still better than Shen Lingyu, who kept smiling despite lowering her head momentarily, "Isn’t that what they say, but soon both girls will enter the Yang Family, they’ll become sister-in-laws, showing quite a bit of fate."
"Oh, is it already decided?" Wang Shuyun said with a smile, "Look, I didn’t even know as the elder aunt."
Mrs. Shen’s smile completely disappeared.
Engagement?
Seems not yet.
So saying things like sister-in-laws and destined connections is premature.
