Chapter 252 - When did she say that she had eye on Zhou Yan to be her son-in-law?? (2)
Edited by: Lulu

There were a few seconds of silence in the air. 

Looking at Liu Dongchang, Tong Xuelu was truly apologetic. “I’m sorry, Manager Liu. I didn’t see you walk inside. I’m so sorry about that!”

Luckily, his face wasn’t bleeding, which meant that he probably would not have an infection. Tong Xuelu wasn’t sure if there were shots available in this day and age. 

Looking at her face, Liu Dongchang suppressed all his anger. He straightened up his hair some and said, “It’s fine. I know you didn’t do that on purpose. Of course, I won’t be upset with you.”

Having said that, he turned and left. If he stayed any more, he just might start yelling. 

Tong Xuelu, “??”

That was odd. When did Liu Dongchang become such an understanding person?

Tan Xiaoyan, who witnessed their interaction from the dining hall, felt that something was off and gave Tong Xuelu a vicious stare.

After Wen Rugui had returned to the base, anyone who was not blind could see that he was in a good mood. 

To be entirely honest, he still looked as nonchalant as he used to be. 

Except that, his steps were springy when he walked now, and his eyes seemed to be shining brightly. Everyone could tell that he was in good spirits.

Zhou Yan asked him a few times if something good had happened to him. Naturally, Wen Rugui wasn’t going to say anything. Their relationship had yet to be made official. 

Meanwhile, Zhong Shulan, who had her eyes on Wen Rugui ever since she had returned from the ranch, continued to wish that he become her son-in-law. 

She had hinted at the idea to her husband many times already. He even promised her that he would go and test the water previously. 

Nevertheless, he changed his mind again after he had returned. 

She found that disturbing. 

This was about her daughter’s happiness. Seeing that he seemingly didn’t understand this, she decided that she would take matters into her own hands. 

Naturally, she would feel too awkward to approach Wen Rugui directly. She thought about it some and decided to start with his friend Zhou Yan. 

Zhou Yan was the one closest with Wen Rugui at the base. 

If Zhou Yan could talk up her daughter in front of Wen Rugui and nudge him along some, it would be much better than her approaching Wen Rugui herself. 

The more she thought about it, the more she thought that her idea was good. 

As such, when she found out that Zhou Yan had a sore throat, she sent scaphium affine his way. 

In addition, when she saw a tear on his clothes the other day, she even offered to sew it back up for him. 

She had become more familiar with Zhou Yan after a while. 

Several times, Zhou Yan even brought up wanting her to be his godmother.

When that happened, Zhong Shulan subtly mentioned that her daughter was not getting younger, but she still didn’t have a boyfriend. She hinted that someone with Wen Rugui’s temperament would be perfect. 

Zhou Yan was a smart one and said he would help her. 

Another two days had gone by, and Zhong Shulan felt that the time was right. She went to seek out Wen Rugui. 

She used food as an excuse and chit chatted with him for a little while.

Then, with reddened eyes, she said to him, “I’ve always felt that I have wronged Yunshi. If it wasn’t for my family, she would not have to go to the ranch with us at her young age. She never had a good day in the past 10 years of her life.”

Wen Rugui said, “Don’t feel that way, shimu. Now that you have reunited with Teacher, your days will only get better.”

Zhong Shulan nodded as she wiped away her tears. “You are right. Our days will only get better. It’s just that Yunshi is not getting any younger, and she still doesn’t have a boyfriend. Rugui, you……”

Wen Rugui cut her off before she was done talking. 

Wen Rugui was never one to do such a thing as rude as to cut someone off before they finished talking. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to do so this time. 

He looked at Zhong Shulan seriously. “Shimu, I understand your worries and how concerned you are for your daughter. Nevertheless, Zhou Yan is already in a relationship. No matter how happy you are with him, you should not do that.

“Did you want Zhou Yan to break up with his girlfriend and be with Comrade Jiao? Besides, if he really did that, would you still think of him as someone you want your daughter to be with? Not to mention that this will affect Comrade Jiao negatively if words get out. I do not think that shimu should bring this up again in the future.”

Zhong Shulan was stunned. 

She stood there as though she had been struck by lightning. 

What the heck was he talking about? When did she say that she wanted Zhou Yan to be her son-in-law??
