Liu Gang was a bit annoyed as he said, "Don’t rush. I just got divorced and now you want to quickly get engaged and married? What would the leaders think of ? If the girl finds out, she may not want to be with . You can’t eat hot tofu in haste, so let’s wait a while. Don’t worry, I’ll find a woman from a good family."
He must get promoted, or else he might have to change jobs this year. Even if he gets assigned sowhere, it won’t be a high position. He really can’t accept this.
"Yeah, you’re right. Make sure to act quickly. Rember, without power, it’s not going to work! Just looking at a girl’s appearance and youth won’t do if her parents are powerless. We can’t want that, especially since this isn’t your first marriage. You should know better! It’s okay if she doesn’t look perfect."
Liu Gang nodded, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t miss this opportunity."
He has to find a capable partner, and when he was introducing a prospect to Wan Yunhong last ti, he thought of it — many of Wan Yunhong’s colleagues are daughters of high-level officials. If he could link up with one, it would be good. Just as he was thinking of Wan Yunhong, she arrived.
Mrs. Liu went to open the door and was initially stunned to see Wan Yunhong. Then, with a warm smile, she said, "Who is this...?"
"I’m Wan Yunhong, a friend of Liu Gang." Wan Yunhong didn’t like this woman. Her squinty eyes and sharp deanor, coupled with her bad mood, made Wan Yunhong refuse to even glance at her.
"Oh, I see." Mrs. Liu looked her up and down and smiled, "I hadn’t seen you before. Do you live in the compound?"
"No, my family is from the countryside. I don’t live in the compound." Being naturally snobbish, Wan Yunhong clearly saw through her kind. She straightforwardly announced her background to prevent any gossip. She’s not yet prepared to give up on marrying Shi Qing.
Mrs. Liu was initially cheerful, but her face fell upon hearing she’s from the countryside, and said coolly, "I see, so what brings you here?"
"Are you going to let in or not?" Wan Yunhong said, "If you don’t let in, I’ll leave, but I won’t take responsibility if your son’s matters are delayed."
Seeing Wan Yunhong’s poor attitude, the woman was angry but indeed worried about affecting her son, so she said, "My son is at ho. Co on in, co on in."
Wan Yunhong nodded and followed her inside.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Wan Yunhong and said towards the inner room, "Liu Gang, co out quickly! What are you doing inside? Your friend has co to see you. You’re just wasting your ti every day without looking for a proper partner, staying ho all the ti, and the people visiting aren’t decent. How will you get married? You’re becoming more irresponsible!"
Wan Yunhong turned her head to glance at Mrs. Liu, "Auntie, are you talking about ?"
"You, silly child, where did I ntion you? I’m just worried my son won’t find a good match. You know, the matter we worry about is his marriage." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
She thought this little girl had quite the temper, imdiately firing back like that. Such a woman can’t be a daughter-in-law. Ai i showed such tendencies later on, and if they find another unruly one, it would really be troubleso.
Wan Yunhong chuckled, "As long as that’s not the case, that’s good. I have a partner already, so if there’s too much idle gossip, I worry my partner might get upset. Rest assured, not everyone is interested in your son." After speaking, she went into the small room to find Liu Gang.
Mrs. Liu curled her lips, annoyed that she hadn’t ntioned having a partner sooner. She wanted to follow inside, but Liu Gang ca out and said, "Mom, go buy a block of tofu. I want to eat tofu tonight."
"Alright, I’ll go later..." She craned her neck to look inside.
But Liu Gang said, "Go now, we have important matters to discuss."
"I tell you... Fine, fine, I’ll go, but stop glaring at ." She was a bit intimidated by her son’s gaze and reluctantly left. Once his mother was out the door, Liu Gang finally allowed Wan Yunhong to sit down.
"Go ahead, what brings you here? You wouldn’t co without a reason. What’s the matter?"
Previously, because Wan Yunhong helped him abort Ai i’s child, their relationship had grown distant. Wan Yunhong was afraid of being entangled, so she was very indifferent, which angered Liu Gang. Now that she ca proactively, she must have a problem she couldn’t solve.
Wan Yunhong said flatly, "You’re right. I do have sothing I need your help with."
"What’s the matter?" Liu Gang lit a cigarette, not pausing to sip his drink.
Wan Yunhong said, "I’ve been dumped by Shi Qing."
Liu Gang’s hand paused, and he looked at Wan Yunhong in surprise, "What did you say? How did that happen?"
Wan Yunhong smiled helplessly, "Soone intervened, exposing at the hospital, and that was it. Now, no matter how unwilling I feel, there’s nothing I can do. Shi Qing has left, and my hopes of marrying an official are probably dashed."
Liu Gang frowned, "What exactly happened?"
"Ha, what else could it be?" Wan Yuhong sat to the side, speaking coldly, "I just went to confront Sun Chan, and she called the hospital. The director reprimanded , forced to write a self-reflection, and then Shi Qing found out. So I’m done for."
Liu Gang nodded and said to Wan Yunhong, "You shouldn’t have provoked Sun Chan."
"I really misjudged people. At first, I wondered what she was up to. She’s not even in the military..."
"She’s from the Yang Family, and her connections aren’t easy to deal with, especially Han Dong, who’s well-connected. Recently, he’s been collaborating with Wu Dafu, whose parents are not ordinary people. He has a good relationship with Sun Chan. No one in the compound is unaware."
Upon hearing this, Wan Yunhong’s face turned pale abruptly. She suddenly understood that Tian Jinhua was her superior, and she was Han Dong’s mother, no wonder...
"Damn Sun Chan, I only said a few truths, and she caused to lose my chance to marry!"
Liu Gang, too, was frustrated, "Why did you have to stir up trouble? Even if you felt happy inside, couldn’t you secretly enjoy it at ho? Why did you have to get involved?"
Actually, they both misunderstood Shi Qing. He and Wan Yunhong broke up not only because she was punished, but primarily due to their differing values and her undisguised greed for power, which scared Shi Qing away.
Liu Gang thought it was because Shi Qing found out she went to provoke Sun Chan and got reported, which ruined her reputation and thus the engagent.
"I’m telling you, your mouth gets you into trouble. Even if you feel happy, can’t you wait patiently? You didn’t listen and insisted on causing a fuss. Now look what happened! I wonder how you’ll manage from now on!"
