Chapter 6

“Uncle and aunt, are you here?” Zhou Yichuan asked knowingly.

“Oh, we are here to cancel the engagement for Zhihuan.” Xu Guoqiang knew that Zhou Yichuan had a good relationship with his own family, Jinnan. He heard from his daughter that it was a good thing that he was there yesterday, otherwise he would have suffered a lot. He always had a good impression of Zhou Yichuan.

“Yichuan, your uncle must thank you very much for what you did yesterday. Come to our house for dinner when you are free.”

Zhou Yichuan agreed without hesitation, “Okay.”

This is the military district family compound. Zhou Yichuan lives in the military district compound, so it seems he doesn’t live here?

Xu Guoqiang asked Zhou Yichuan curiously, “What’s the matter with you coming here?”

Zhou Yichuan didn’t directly answer his question, only saying, “Yesterday, Zhihuan asked me to help withdraw Yuan Qingan’s marriage application, and it has been withdrawn now.”

“That’s good.” Xu Guoqiang didn’t expect his daughter to be so thoughtful. Withdrawing the marriage application could save a lot of trouble.

“Uncle and aunt, I’ll take you two out.” Zhou Yichuan made a “please” gesture.

Xu Guoqiang said politely with a bit of embarrassment: “No need to trouble you. As a brigade commander, you must have a lot of things to do. Your aunt and I can go by ourselves.”

“Not busy.” Zhou Yichuan twitched his lips lightly, “Let’s go.”

Xu Guoqiang: “…”

They chatted idly, and Zhou Yichuan personally took the lead in escorting the person out of the military area.

The military area does not allow any outside vehicles to enter. Zhou Yichuan opened the car door for them and held the roof with his other hand. “Uncle and aunt, go slowly.”

“Okay.” Wang Wanjun smiled unnaturally, then suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, “Yichuan, do you have a partner?”

“No, I’ve only been singing one single song in recent years.” Zhou Yichuan replied.

The guard following behind him: “…” The brigade commander talked a lot today.

During the meeting this morning, the army commander asked him to express his opinion, but Brigade Commander Zhou just replied with three words: “No idea.”

Wang Wanjun nodded thoughtfully. “With your good conditions, there must be a lot of women pursuing you. You must have high standards!”

“Aunt, you’re wrong. I don’t usually see any lesbians, and none of them are pursuing me.”

Guard: “…” No? How is that possible! All the girls in the military art troupe like Brigade Commander Zhou, but Brigade Commander Zhou has never paid any attention to them.

Xu Guoqiang patted Zhou Yichuan on the shoulder cheerfully, “Don’t worry, it’s best for a man to build a career before starting a family!”

Then he closed the car door and said, “Yichuan, be sure to come home for dinner when you have time!” Xu Guoqiang reminded him.

Zhou Yichuan opened his thin lips and said, “Uncle, don’t worry, I will definitely go.”

Watching the car disappear, Zhou Yichuan turned and walked towards the office. The guards could not understand Brigade Commander Zhou’s behavior even more.

After hearing the signalman say that Xu Guoqiang and his wife had arrived at the military district’s family compound, Brigade Commander Zhou went to the compound for some unknown reason.

Now, for no apparent reason, he’s specifically sending them off. This… is too inexplicable, isn’t it?!

The most important thing is that I discovered that Brigade Commander Zhou was in a good mood?

“…”

In the car, Xu Guoqiang was thinking about Zhou Yichuan. This man was the best in every aspect and was suitable for his precious daughter.

As soon as I told Wang Wanjun about this idea, she immediately rejected it, saying, “No, no.”

“Why is it not working?” Xu Guoqiang didn’t understand.

Wang Wanjun sighed, “Our Huanhuan is afraid of him.”

Xu Guoqiang: “…” Okay, I still respect my daughter’s choice. He will choose the kind of son-in-law his daughter likes.

——

Shopping can indeed make people feel better. Xu Zhihuan bought two particularly beautiful skirts. Both of them were not cheap and it was really difficult to make a decision. Xu Jinnan waved his hand and said “I’ll take both”!

“Ahhh brother, you are the best to me~”

Xu Zhihuan happily grabbed Xu Jinnan’s arm and shook it.

Xu Jinnan curled his lips and said, “See if there’s anything else you like? Buy it!”

He specifically put aside all his work today to spend time with his sister.

This was the task my parents arranged before they left home.

She said that her sister had just broken off her engagement and she was worried about him going out alone, so she asked him to accompany her.

How does Xu Jinnan think she looks unhappy?

The brother and sister had lunch outside and returned home in the evening.

As soon as I got home, I heard the good news from my parents.

Formal break off of engagement.

Xu Zhihuan opened his mouth to say something when he heard some movement at the door. He turned around and saw Li Rou walking into the room with red eyes.

The girl, who had just given birth, was plump and had tears on her face. She raised her hand to wipe them away and said, “Aunt, uncle…”

“What’s wrong?” Wang Wanjun frowned. Xu Zhihuan could sense that her mother no longer had the same affection towards Li Rou as before.

In Wang Wanjun’s heart, she naturally treated this niece as her own daughter.

Of course, the premise is that Yuan Qingan did not break off the engagement.

Now, Wang Wanjun is not so close to her niece.

Li Rou is more like her father.

I always feel that it takes two hands to clap.

Li Rou opened her mouth hesitantly, “Aunt, I’m fine…”

“…” Pretend! Xu Zhihuan snorted coldly.

“Since everything is fine, let’s eat first.” Wang Wanjun didn’t ask any more questions and told her aunt to serve the rice. “Xiaorou, go back and feed the child after dinner. Now that you’re married, you should still focus on your family. Auntie knows you’re concerned about me, and your kindness is enough.”

Li Rou was stunned.

Why is it different from what I expected?

Li Rou sat down, tears streaming down her face again, “Aunt, I can’t live like this anymore.”

Wang Wanjun put down her chopsticks and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Rou then said, “Zhao Baoshun beat me. He heard that Sister Hehuan had broken off the engagement, and he insisted on saying that Captain Yuan and I had an affair. Auntie, look at the way he beat me.”

When he rolled up his sleeves, there were obvious slap marks on his arms.

Li Rou had just come out of confinement when Zhao Baoshun beat her up!

There was no such thing as a broken engagement in the previous life, but Zhao Baoshun beat her for other reasons. The Xu family came forward to protect her, so Zhao Baoshun didn’t dare to bully her again.

Xu Zhihuan said in a calm voice, “Cousin, husband and wife quarrel at the beginning of the bed and make up at the end of the bed. Besides, if you feel that you can’t live together anymore, you can go directly to your cousin’s husband to discuss divorce. None of us can make the decision for you.”

Li Rou’s crying stopped abruptly.

Wang Wanjun felt that her daughter had a point. “That’s right, this is a matter between you two, and it’s not for others to interfere. Husband and wife should still work things out slowly.”

Li Rou: “…”

She looked at Xu Zhihuan tentatively, her eyes flashing. “Zhihuan, I believe this must be a misunderstanding. You like Captain Yuan so much, you should think about it.”

As long as Yuan Qing’an marries Xu Zhihuan, Zhao Baoshun will not doubt her.

“Xiao Rou, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. Even we, as parents, don’t want to persuade Zhi Huan, so just leave it alone! After all, there’s a saying that goes, a forced melon won’t be sweet.”

Xu Guoqiang said in a cold voice.

Li Rou remained silent and didn’t dare to say anything else. She carefully observed the expressions of the Xu family members, always feeling that something was wrong.

Clearly, it wasn’t like this in my previous life…
