Because Yinglan and her mother do not live in the military zone, Yinglan's father Chu Zhonghua usually does not live in the compound, but in the military zone.
Every year when Yinglan and her mother came to visit relatives, Chu Zhonghua would apply to the superiors to allocate a room in the cadre dormitory of the military region for Yinglan and her mother to stay.
Since it was night, Huo Jianguo went directly to Chu Zhonghua's dormitory to find him.
When he arrived, Chu Zhonghua was washing his feet. When he saw Huo Jianguo coming, Chu Zhonghua quickly wiped the water off his feet, stood up and asked:
"Jianguo, why are you here so late at night?"
"I have something to do with you." Huo Jianguo pinched the photo in his hand, entered Chu Zhonghua's room, and closed the dormitory door.
After all, Yinglan is a girl waiting to be married. If Huo Jianguo wants to tell Chu Zhonghua about her, he still hopes to avoid being heard by others and not tarnishing Yinglan's reputation.
Seeing Huo Jianguo's serious face, Chu Zhonghua thought something had happened in the army, and his wrinkled face suddenly became serious:
"Isn't it because we discovered something else? Is it drug dealers, smuggling, or poaching?"
In the army, Huo Jianguo was mainly responsible for these aspects, so Chu Zhonghua naturally focused on this.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Huo Jianguo shook his head at him:
"neither!"
"No?" Chu Zhonghua was suddenly confused: "What is that?"
Although he was a little embarrassed, Huo Jianguo awkwardly took out the photo of Yinglan from his pocket and handed it to Chu Zhonghua.
"What?" Chu Zhonghua first glanced at Huo Jianguo in confusion, then lowered his head to look at the photo handed over by Huo Jianguo, and then frowned:
"Yinglan's photo, why is it here with you?"
"My lover found the photo in the notebook that Yinglan gave me three years ago." Huo Jianguo truthfully told the origin of the photo, and then solemnly said to Chu Zhonghua:
"I sent it back specifically because I wanted to trouble the military commander to help me return it to Yinglan and thank her for her love on my behalf."
"When Yinglan retired three years ago, you were still unmarried, so her sending you photos doesn't count as crossing the line." Chu Zhonghua looked at Huo Jianguo with disapproval:
"Since you are married, you would have thrown the photos away after you found them. Why would you want to return the photos to Yinglan? Isn't this sincerity to embarrass her?"
"I don't want to either, mainly because I'm desperate." Huo Jianguo glanced at Chu Zhonghua helplessly.
Chu Zhonghua frowned when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face deepened:
"What do you mean? Why are you desperate? My Yinglan has liked you, but she doesn't want to marry you unless you are the one who wants to marry you. Why am I forcing you?"
"If I hadn't been forced, I wouldn't have come to see you!" Huo Jianguo didn't like to mince words, so he directly recounted to Chu Zhonghua in detail what Yinglan's mother had ordered Zhao Ying to do.
At first, Chu Zhonghua heard this in disbelief, and as he listened, anger ignited in his eyes. When Huo Jianguo finished speaking, Chu Zhonghua slapped the table fiercely:
"What a nonsense. My Yinglan can't get married or something, so she can do all these shameless dirty tricks behind her back!
Damn it, she took advantage of the fact that she and I live in two places and I can't control her, so she dared to do such a shameless thing.
Jianguo, don't worry, nothing will happen to Su Mei. I will stop Yinglan's mother and promise not to let her do anything to destroy the harmony of your family. "
"Sorry to trouble you!" Huo Jianguo actually believed that with Chu Zhonghua's personality, he would not be able to do such a thing that would destroy other people's families.
But after hearing Chu Zhonghua's personal assurance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His purpose of coming to Chu Zhonghua had been achieved, and he was still thinking about the situation with Su Mei, so after he finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Chu Zhonghua without lingering:
"Please worry about this matter. Now that you have learned about it, I believe you will handle it well. I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you anymore!"
"It's us who have caused trouble for you. Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." After Chu Zhonghua finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
When he first heard Huo Jianguo explain what happened, Chu Zhonghua was very angry, but after he calmed down, he felt more helpless.
Huo Jianguo knew that Chu Zhonghua was feeling uncomfortable, but at this time he was not in the mood to comfort the old leader, so he could only nodded to him:
"Okay, then I'll take my leave!"
After speaking, Huo Jianguo stood up and left.
