When Shen Huaizhou learned the news that Zhong Lingyu was well, his worries finally relaxed.
He leaned back on the chair, his long legs resting on the table in an awkward manner.
Holding Zhong Lingyu's photo in his hand, he looked at it carefully.
He asked: "Adjutant Li, do you think she misses me?"
"I don't think so." Adjutant Li said in a puzzled tone.
Shen Huaizhou took off his legs, picked up a document and threw it hard.
Adjutant Li caught it with a smile, "Don't be angry, young marshal. Anyway, Miss Lingyu is doing well, won't you be able to feel at ease?"
"It's all heartless stuff!" Shen Huaizhou snorted coldly.
While the two were talking about Zhong Lingyu, there was a knock on the door.
Another adjutant came in and saluted, "Young Marshal, Mr. Jin is here."
"Jin Shihong?" Shen Huaizhou frowned.
"Yes, Mr. Jin said he wants to see you."
Shen Huaizhou felt that it would not be a good thing for Jin Shihong to come all the way to see him in person.
He asked someone to arrange for Jin Shihong to receive him in the reception room.
Ten minutes later, Shen Huaizhou met Jin Shihong.
At the beginning, Jin Shihong said a lot of nonsense.
Shen Huaizhou looked respectful on his face, but a little impatient in his heart.
He could only be patient and wait for Jin Shihong to get down to business.
Over a cup of tea, Jin Shihong finally got to the point, "Xiaoyu has reached the age to get married."
Shen Huaizhou's eyebrows twitched, he lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, "She and Huang Yilin get along well."
"Huang Yilin is not my ideal son-in-law. Besides, the Huang family has too many brothers and sisters. I'm afraid that Xiaoyu will marry and be wronged." Jin Shihong stared at Shen Huaizhou with a calculating look.
Shen Huaizhou had some concerns, but still pretended to be confused and asked: "What does Uncle Jin mean..."
"You and Xiao Yu are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. We know each other's ins and outs." Jin Shihong gently put down the tea cup, "What I mean is that you and Xiao Yu will be paired together, so that the Shen family and the Jin family will have an in-law relationship and each other's relationship." The cooperation becomes stronger.”
Shen Huaizhou said calmly: "I still have to ask Xiao Yu what he means in this matter."
"Since ancient times, when parents order matchmakers, what I mean is what Xiao Yu means." Jin Shihong's attitude was extremely tough.
"Xiaoyu and I are brothers and sisters..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me." Jin Shihong interrupted impatiently, "They are not related by blood, so they are brothers and sisters."
Shen Huaizhou still hesitated.
Although Jin Shihong is shrewd, he has a hot temper.
He became even more impatient, "Why, my Xiaoyu, isn't she worthy of you?"
Shen Huaizhou lit a cigarette, "Uncle, you also know that I have been worried about arms recently, and I really am not in the mood to think about my children's personal affairs..."
"I have arms channels. What kind of guns and cannons you want, I will find a way to get them for you. You don't have to worry about these. I just ask you if you want to marry my Xiaoyu." Jin Shihong pressed his hand hard. The tea cup is placed on the table.
There was a loud bang, full of aggression.
Shen Huaizhou's expression did not change, "Since uncle is so sincere, it depends on uncle's arrangements."
Jin Shihong hesitated, "On the wedding day..."
Shen Huaizhou said: "According to our Yuncheng customs, you must first get engaged, and the wedding can only be held three months after the engagement. If you get married immediately, outsiders will laugh."
Adjutant Li, who was guarding the door, heard the conversation inside.
I couldn't help curling my lips and complaining in my heart: I don't usually see you, young commander, so disciplined. The person who wants to marry you is Miss Lingyu. You may have picked out your wedding clothes by now.
Jin Shihong thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Let's get engaged first and then get married. I'll go back and pick a good day for getting married."
With that said, he stood up and left.
Shen Huaizhou sent him to the door.
Jin Shihong got into the car and left quickly.
Adjutant Li walked up to Shen Huaizhou and said, "Miss Wen is really impatient. Once Miss Lingyu leaves, she can no longer hide her fox tail. She really took great pains to marry you."
"When Xiaoyu was little, she was kind and gentle. I don't know when she became so vicious and calculating..." Shen Huaizhou stated expressionlessly.
"Young Marshal, what are you going to do?"
"What else can we do?" Shen Huaizhou took a deep breath from his cigarette, "Get engaged first, and then find Jin Shihong's arms channels and find a way to get them into his own hands. Jin Shihong may purchase a large number of arms during this period. How about you? Send a few people to keep an eye on him."
"Yes." Adjutant Li stepped back and gradually disappeared into the night.
Jin Shihong didn't know that he was being closely monitored by Shen Huaizhou's people.
The Jin family has a very grand bungalow in Yuncheng.
After he returned home, Wen Qingyu immediately came out eagerly, "Dad, how are you? What did Shen Huaizhou say?"
Jin Shihong held Wen Qingyu's hand dotingly, "What can't be done once dad takes action? According to your wishes, that boy agrees to marry you. But he needs to get engaged first and then get married three months later."
Wen Qingyu looked happy.
She asked: "Dad, you didn't tell Shen Huaizhou that this was what I meant."
"Don't worry, I told him that this was what I meant. He didn't doubt you, so you can just wait for your marriage in peace." Jin Shihong doted on this daughter whom he finally found with great difficulty.
At the beginning, the explosion of Zhong Lingyu's boat and the kidnapping of Zhong Lingyu on the street were all attributed to Jin Shihong.
Since his daughter wanted to marry Shen Huaizhou, he would do his best to make it happen.
Wen Qingyu held Jin Shihong's arm and said coquettishly: "Thank you, dad."
Jin Shihong touched her head and said, "Dad is willing to do anything for you."
Wen Qingyu was extremely happy.
After dinner, she went back to her room.
There was a mirror in the room, and she took off her clothes, revealing the butterfly-shaped marks on her back.
As time goes by, this mark becomes less and less like a birthmark and more like a scar.
Every once in a while, Wen Qingyu would use things to paint.
After all, she is not the real daughter of the Jin family, just a fake.
She had to pay attention all the time.
While applying something, at a certain moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qin's mother came in with a basin, "Miss, I got some rose juice to soak your hands. Look..."
She looked up and was stunned.
Qin's mother was Jin Shihong's original wife and Zhuang's personal maid.
She didn't know if it was her eyesight.
Just now, she seemed to see that the 'birthmark' on Wen Qingyu's back had faded...
Wen Qingyu noticed someone coming in, quickly tightened his clothes, then turned around and said angrily: "Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"
