Chapter 37 Bullets are coming(1/2)
Seeing her daughter blushing after answering the phone, Lu Xunzhang asked her casually who called her.
Lu Manman replied that it was Yan Xiaoqi. After hearing this, Lu Xunzhang looked at Xia Lian and confirmed that the relationship between the two young couples should be fine.
The whole family sat together and chatted without realizing it, and the day passed just like that.
The second day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. As soon as the sky was dawn, I was called to eat dumplings when the road was long.
After breakfast, I started visiting relatives and friends. I haven’t come back for many years. Some neighbors who are familiar with each other have to visit every home.
Except for the Zhao family and the Bai family, and the friends who are friends with her father, she went to celebrate the New Year!
"Aunt Xia, why didn't I know that my dad has so many relatives and friends? These days, my legs were broken because I had gone to New Year's greetings. I didn't want to see meat for at least half a year! I almost had a psychological shadow during this New Year!"
After seven or eight days of worship, the road is long and I feel like I am about to collapse. This day when I have to smile and greet people every day is even more tiring than her surgery in the hospital.
"Isn't it that you owe to stay at home all these years? Although these distant relatives and friends are not very familiar with each other, they will occasionally come to visit your father. Your father is unable to move and can't thank you if you want to thank him. Now that you are back, of course you have to work hard!"
Xia Lian told the reason, and endless guilt surged into her long heart.
She took Aunt Xia's arm and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Aunt Xia, I know I was wrong! Thank you for staying with my dad, otherwise I wouldn't know how he should live..."
"Silly kid, I'm saying these things again!" Xia Lian cursed Lu Manman with a angrily voice, "You don't know the past between your father and me, and you always think your father owes me. In fact, you don't know how satisfied I'm with him!"
As Aunt Xia said this, Fenghua still showed a touch of sweetness on her face. Such a smile fell into Luman's eyes, making her heart feel warm.
They walked home happily, and when they stepped into the gate of the courtyard, they unexpectedly met two people.
Bai Jingxuan and Zhao Siting's mother came towards him, and Luman pulled Aunt Xia and was about to avoid him.
Unexpectedly, when Zhao's mother saw the long road, her graceful and noble face suddenly became unhappy.
"The road is long, is it really you?"
"Hello, Aunt."
There is no way to avoid it, and the road is long and I have to bite the bullet and say hello to him.
"Okay, of course I'm fine! If you don't come back, you don't have to see your annoying face, I will be even better!"
Zhao's mother's unkind tone answered Lu Manman, and her unconcealed words made Lu Manman's face turn pale.
"Ji Sulan, are you still rational in your words? Xiaoman has lived here since she was a child, so why don't you let her come back?"
Before Lu Manman could answer, Xia Lian was so angry that she stood up to protect Lu Manman.
"I don't have the right to prevent her from coming back. I'm just talking about my current mood! I've never learned well since I was a child and I've known to seduce my son. I feel disgusted with such a girl!" Ji Sulan snorted coldly and looked at Lu Manman, with all her contempt and disdain on her face.
In this way, it hurts the long nerves of the road.
Xia Lian was about to argue with her, but she heard Lu Manman say: "Auntie, I respect you as an elder and have always been very polite to you. But this does not mean that I recognize your behavior and remarks! You are Zhao Siting's mother. It is understandable that you do not agree with my relationship with him. But if you slander it for this, I can sue you for slander!"
Lu Manman's attitude was very firm, and his strong aura suddenly made Ji Sulan stunned.
Is this still the long road of being soft in front of her and letting her knead?
Ji Sulan couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her.
My face is still the same, but it has faded away the tenderness of my childhood, and looks more beautiful and exquisite than before.
She didn't put on makeup. Compared to Bai Jingxuan's face that she wore makeup all day long, this pink and clean face full of collagen is obviously more intimate.
What! She actually felt that this muffled girl who contradicted her was closer than Xuan'er?
Such a dangerous thought appeared in his head, Ji Sulan's face became ugly for a second.
"Haha! I haven't seen each other for a few years, but I've become much more eloquent? Xuan'er, let's go! What am I arguing with a wild girl of unknown origin? I'm really losing my value!"
Ji Sulan sneered twice, turned her head and said to Bai Jingxuan beside her.
"Okay, mom!"
Bai Jingxuan agreed with a smile, feeling so happy that she couldn't describe it in words.
What else is more satisfying than being on my side? My mother-in-law helps her to tie up her ex-loving rival. This feeling is so good that it cannot be better!
Bai Jingxuan's gentleness and delicacy immediately formed a sharp contrast with the long road.
Ji Sulan was silently lamenting that she had the vision to choose the right daughter-in-law, but she didn't notice that Lu Manman was so angry that her fists were clenched and her figure trembled.
Seeing that the road was wronged, Xia Lian rushed out unbearably.
She stared at Ji Sulan and Bai Jingxuan, and shouted to them almost in a tone of no rejection: "Ji Sulan, please apologize to Xiaoman!"
Xia Lian was suddenly so ferocious that Ji Sulan was so scared.
She held Bai Jingxuan's hand tightly and said with a strong momentum: "Why should I apologize to her?"
"Xiaoman is not a wild child of unknown origin. Your words have caused harm to her, so I ask you to apologize!" Xia Lian refused to give in, and the appearance of protecting the calf was like Lu Manman being her biological daughter.
Ji Sulan smiled when she heard Xia Lian say this.
She glanced at Lu Manman with contempt, looked at Xia Lian again and replied: "Xia Lian, what is the truth of the matter? You know better than me! She is the wild child abandoned by her mother. Am I wrong?"
"You!" Xia Lian was choked by Ji Sulan's words.
Just when she couldn't refute and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, Zhao Siting appeared at this time.
"Mom! What are you doing?"
Zhao Siting's handsome face was covered with clouds, and he obviously heard what his mother had just said.
"Si Ting! Why are you here?" Seeing the visitor, a panic flashed across Bai Jingxuan's face.
Zhao Siting's cold eyes swept across her face, and said nothing, but made Bai Jingxuan's spine chill.
"Ting'er, haven't you gone to your father-in-law's house?"
Ji Sulan also looked puzzled when she saw her son.
Zhao Siting did not answer.
Of course he went to his father-in-law's house, but the father-in-law he identified was not named Bai!
After coming to Lu Manman in silence, Zhao Siting wanted to apologize to her.
Lu Manman pushed him away, came to his mother, and accused him righteously: "Aunt Zhao, you are becoming more and more disrespectful! You can scold me if you are dissatisfied with me, but please don't slander my mother! You speak so carelessly, it will make you lose the price!"
After saying this, Lu Manman pulled her Aunt Xia and walked away together.
Disrespect for old age? Reduce the price?
Lu Manman scolded Ji Sulan and blushed. She blurted out at her back and cursed: "You dead girl, how could I slander..."
"Get some good deeds for yourself, mom! You look like you cursing, I think it's worth it too!"
Zhao Siting stopped what his mother wanted to say in time, and his mother was so angry that she couldn't speak.
When I got home, I realized that Zhao Siting had just come to her house after a long journey.
There was a gift he gave to her father on the table, and she was so angry that she took the things out and threw them on the ground.
Seeing that his daughter was so angry, Lu Xunzhang hurriedly asked Xia Lian what had happened.
Xia Lian whispered to him what had just happened. After Lu Xunzhang heard it, he was silent.
*******
On the southern border of China, there is a tropical rainforest area.
Qi Xiuyuan was leaning against a huge tree trunk to rest. He was dressed in military green camouflage uniform and was hidden with the leaves around him. If he didn't look carefully, he could not notice that there was a figure here.
There are big trees all around me that are soaking in the sky. I can barely see the treetops after I raise my head and turn my neck sorely.
The ground is covered with thick fallen leaves, and when it is stepped on it, it is like stepping on a soft carpet.
The scene here looks quiet and peaceful on the surface, but in fact there are dangers lurking everywhere. In addition to snakes, insects, and beasts surviving and dormant here, this natural hidden place is also a place that criminals prefer.
The mission is about to end, and the brothers are preparing to go back.
Qi Xiuyuan called Lu Manman and still couldn't get through. She had never returned to the villa and couldn't help but worry him.
With his brows locked, he speculated about what might have happened, and Qi Xiuyuan was resting uneasy.
He sat up and wanted to call again, but suddenly a head full of leaves came to him.
"Boss, are you calling your sister-in-law again?"
Xiao Heitan opened his mouth and asked with a smile, a row of neat and white teeth were printed on his black face and looked particularly white.
"What kind of sister-in-law, do you know that she is older than you?"
He raised his hand and gave the brat a palm, Qi Xiuyuan got up and walked towards the camp where they were stationed.
"Everyone calls her sister-in-law, I want the same too!" Xiao Heitan raised his hand to protest, his dark-skinned hands stretched out, and more than a dozen shiny big diamonds suddenly shone brightly in the shattered sunlight.
“Where did it come from?”
Looking at these huge diamonds that could blindfold, Qi Xiuyuan's sword eyebrows frowned.
Xiao Hei Tan handed over as if he was offering treasures, and replied with a smile: "There are many more found on the drug lord in the lead. I picked up the largest one and picked it up and used it to give it to my sister-in-law!"
After hearing Xiao Heitan say this, Qi Xiuyuan stepped on a few dry branches and almost planted them.
This kid's old habits were hard to change, so he turned his head and stared at him without a moment.
