Thoughts came back.
Marshal Shen's smile did not diminish. He emphasized to Zhong Lingyu, "I don't care how noisy you and Huaizhou were in the past, but now, since you serve in the military government, you should assist Huaizhou."
"Yes, Marshal."
Zhong Lingyu stood up and gave Marshal Shen some tea.
In Shen Huaizhou's eyes, it was inexplicably like a daughter-in-law serving tea to her parents-in-law.
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I feel.
Shen Huaizhou couldn't help but said: "Lingyu, we are all members of our own family, just call him father. Calling him commander-in-chief would be unfair."
Marshal Shen glanced at Shen Huaizhou, looking like he disliked him for being worthless.
Looking at Zhong Lingyu again, his expression changed again.
That is the appreciation and praise of the elders when they see the younger ones.
Marshal Shen was very optimistic about Zhong Lingyu, and he drank all the tea she served.
But in terms of address, he didn't say anything. He had the same attitude as Zhong Lingyu and selectively ignored Shen Huaizhou.
Shen Huaizhou became the air and frowned dissatisfied.
But one was his wife, and the other was his biological father. He couldn't offend either of them on the spot, so he had to drink tea to cover up his embarrassment of being ignored.
At this time, Marshal Shen also happened to see the injury on Shen Huaizhou's face, "Son, what's wrong with your face?"
Shen Huaizhou touched the area that was still aching slightly. It was bitten by Zhong Lingyu when he and Zhong Lingyu had an argument just now.
At that time, the girl was so angry that she was merciless and almost bit him to bleed.
Zhong Lingyu explained first, "Commander, when he came back, he accidentally tripped and fell on an object that fell on the ground. It's because I didn't take good care of the house. I will pay attention to it next time."
After saying that, she quietly pinched the corner of her clothes.
The first time he saw Zhong Lingyu telling lies with his eyes open, Shen Huaizhou laughed softly.
After receiving Zhong Lingyu's warning look, he said seriously: "Yes, I accidentally fell, it's nothing serious."
Marshal Shen was also someone who had been here before. He didn't criticize him, he just coughed and gave some instructions.
The general meaning is that Zhong Lingyu needs to be more aggressive outside the family, so that when he serves in the military government, he can intimidate his subordinates.
At home, we must be gentle and appropriate, and take good care of home affairs to achieve harmony.
Zhong Lingyu responded one by one.
Her attitude was sincere and gentle, and Marshal Shen was very satisfied.
After sitting for a while, Marshal Shen left.
Zhong Lingyu and Shen Huaizhou went outside to see him off.
When the car disappeared, Shen Huaizhou said: "Whether it's grandma or father, don't address me like this in the future."
It doesn't sound like a family.
Zhong Lingyu refused.
Although she was happy that Marshal Shen recognized her ability, she did not lose her sense of proportion.
"In the eyes of the old lady and the handsome man, Wen Qingyu is their serious daughter-in-law, and I am not. Although they agree that I will stay with you, it does not mean that they recognize that I am a member of the Shen family. Furthermore, if If someone hears me calling them grandmother and father, if word gets out, people will say that the Shen family has no rules."
Hearing this, Shen Huaizhou felt panicked.
He squeezed her hand tightly, "In terms of status, I have wronged you. We will get married as soon as the Jin family's affairs are over."
Zhong Lingyu smiled and said, "I don't mean to make you feel guilty. Come on, come into the house. I'm hungry."
She ended this unpleasant topic, took Shen Huaizhou's hand and returned to the living room with him.
Shen Huaizhou was still afraid that she would be angry, so he couldn't help but ask, and brought the topic back, "You really don't care?"
Zhong Lingyu looked indifferent, "I used to care about my status, but now that you are in trouble, I also have my own plans, so there is no need to force it."
"What are your plans?" Shen Huaizhou didn't know that she had other plans.
Zhong Lingyu pondered for a moment, "You want to know?"
Shen Huaizhou nodded.
"I don't think you will be too happy about my plan." Zhong Lingyu pulled out a chair and sat down.
Shen Huaizhou sat next to her, "Whether you are happy or not, I want to hear your plans."
Zhong Lingyu held up her chin and tilted her head to look at him, "Then I said, you are not allowed to be angry."
Shen Huaizhou's heart skipped a beat, "I'll try my best."
"Actually, I never thought about entrusting the rest of my life to you." Zhong Lingyu stated lightly, "Things like feelings can change easily. I will not bet all my future on it. I will Always leave yourself a way out.”
Shen Huaizhou drank tea and listened quietly.
His eyebrows were already frowning involuntarily.
Zhong Lingyu continued: "I have no status. I rely on my feelings for you to stay by your side. To be honest, I always feel insecure. When the day comes that you can't stay with me, I still have property to keep. No matter where you go, you can always survive on your own..."
Seeing Shen Huaizhou's increasingly solemn expression, Zhong Lingyu paused and quickly ended the topic like a brake.
She suddenly regretted saying these words to Shen Huaizhou.
But if you say it out, it is like water thrown out, which cannot be recycled.
Shen Huaizhou remained silent.
After a long time, Shen Huaizhou took out a cigarette and lit it.
Taking a deep breath, he said: "After all, I can't help you... But Lingyu, I think you should learn to rely more on me. You don't seem to trust me that much."
It's not that Zhong Lingyu doesn't trust him.
However, no one can be sure about feelings.
As a woman, she does not have a powerful family background and no real status. It is too unrealistic to only rely on Shen Huaizhou's feelings for her.
Zhong Lingyu tried his best to comfort him, "Shen Huaizhou, I really want to live a good life with you, and I am working hard for our future. But no one can lock themselves in one thing, always have to Leave a gap. I did it, and so do you."
Shen Huaizhou couldn't listen.
He finished smoking a cigar in silence, then stood up and said: "There are still things with the military government that I need to deal with. You eat first when you are hungry. You don't have to wait for me."
After saying that, Shen Huaizhou did not leave immediately, but stood beside Zhong Lingyu, as if waiting for her to change her attitude.
But Zhong Lingyu's attitude will not change.
She was grateful for Shen Huaizhou's thoughtfulness and love. She came back with him regardless of her status and was willing to be by his side, which had already broken her principles.
Zhong Lingyu believed that he had done all he could to Shen Huaizhou.
She lowered her head, took a bite of the steamed dumpling, pretended not to notice Shen Huaizhou's depression, and said softly: "Since the military government is in an emergency, please leave early and come back early."
"Stay with the military government tonight and won't come back." With these words, Shen Huaizhou left home.
The door was slammed shut, and Zhong Lingyu put down the bun in his hand, his eyes overflowing with water.
In the evening, Shen Huaizhou did not go home as expected.
Zhong Lingyu called the military government, and Adjutant Li answered the phone.
He said: "Miss Lingyu, the young marshal is still busy. If you have anything, I will convey it to him."
Zhong Lingyu knew that Shen Huaizhou was deliberately ignoring her.
She didn't want to touch his cold butt with a hot face, so she said: "It's nothing important. I just want to say that if he doesn't come home at night, I won't leave the door open, so I won't bother him."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Huaizhou, who had been listening beside him, was furious.
