“What are you thinking?” Xu Qigang glared at him, “All right, I know about this now. Remember to call her sister-in-law in the future.”
“Yes, Captain!” Chen Yingjie was an absolute fan of Xu Qigang, trusting and obeying him completely.
“Let’s go, let’s have lunch this afternoon!” Xu Qigang’s expression remained unchanged, but the chill in his eyes was terrifying.

At night, the lights were still on in the bedroom of a detached house in the courtyard.
Su Yun wore silk pajamas that could only be bought with foreign currency, her glossy long hair casually draped behind her. She held a collection of Tagore’s poetry, unable to continue reading.
From behind the desk opposite her, Meng Xingzhi, who had been concentrating on reading documents, hadn’t heard her turn the pages for a long time and looked up, “Are you worried about something?”
“Did I hear that the General Union Dance Troupe performed very poorly this time?” Su Yun asked with a frown.
“Quite the contrary,” Meng Xingzhi said factually.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
“Better than our Qianjin Dance Troupe?” Su Yun clearly didn’t believe it.
Meng Xingzhi laughed heartily, “Of course better than yours, surprisingly so. If not for Yang Wenying and Shen Feihu protecting them, I would have wanted to poach a couple of people.”
Su Yun was displeased to hear this.
“How did you hear about it? You seem well informed?” Meng Xingzhi asked casually.
“How else could I know? It was Yang Wenying, eager to brag to me over the phone!” Humph! She’s been suppressed by me for so many years, does she really think she can turn things around with just one training session?
Wishful thinking!
“You two are really interesting, growing up together and yet fiercely competitive,” Meng Xingzhi shook his head helplessly.
“Are you helping her or helping me?”
“I’m not helping anyone, just let you two sort it out yourselves.” In Meng Xingzhi’s eyes, their rivalry was nothing more than a spat, childlike.
He was fair, never favoring personal relationships over what was right and always maintained neutrality.
Su Yun rolled her eyes at him, put down her book, and went upstairs.
“It’s getting late, I’m going to bed first, you should rest early too.”
“Mmm!”
Su Yun returned to her room alone, sitting on the red floral bed, irritated by Yang Wenying’s arrogance during the day.
She knew Yang Wenying looked down on her because of the rumor that claimed she had been married and had a child when she was a sent-down youth, and later, not caring about anything, she had remarried Meng Xingzhi after his wife’s death.
Since hearing those rumors, Yang Wenying had never treated her well.
For many years, Su Yun never admitted that was the truth because she and Meng Xingzhi had liked each other since they were young.
If it hadn’t been for his mother forcibly intervening and making him marry someone else, she wouldn’t have suffered and become a youth worker.
She indeed abandoned her husband and child, but back in the countryside, that wasn’t love. It was just a moment of impulsiveness, and as for that child, she could make it up to her later.
Su Yun’s beautiful face twisted slightly, as she lay in the warm cotton quilt, particularly thinking of Sheng Ning whom Yang Wenying had specifically mentioned.
She’s even prettier than when I was young?
Even a rural area can produce a phoenix.

Downstairs, the door to the study was open. Meng Ping, groggy from sleep, got up to get water, noticed the light still on, and walked over with his water cup, confused.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Meng Xingzhi was focusing intently on a photo frame, his look both pained and sad, as if he had aged several years, completely losing his daytime dignity.
