Be in low spirits

Gu Lang sighed, sat down and said, "Although I can't decide on my own marriage, Yang Lin is not a good man, so I have to choose someone who is honest and reliable."

She found it funny. Honest and reliable? It would be better to rely on herself than on these. "Brother, why don't you give me two shopping malls as a dowry? It's better to give me more money than to find an honest and reliable person."

"Do you know who Su Yaoer is?" He picked up the coffee and took a sip.

She got up and walked to the kitchen to see the dinner that Aunt Liu prepared. "Of course I know, she's my friend."

Aunt Liu washed a tomato, handed it to her and said, "Miss, if you are hungry, I will make two dishes, you can eat first?"

"No need, just do your thing, I'll take a nap, call me when it's time for dinner." She was tired after sitting on the train for a whole day.

"Do you really know her relationship with Yang Lin?" Gu Lang still felt that marrying into the Yang family was unreliable.

"I know, that's why I agreed to marry him." She stood at the door and explained to him impatiently.

"Luo'er..." Gu Lang stood at the door and wanted to persuade her, but she was too lazy to listen to all this nonsense, so she closed the door and went to sleep.

Ye Fan reported his work in the Secretary-General's Office. Ye Liangyun expressed his satisfaction with the recovery of Li's military power.

"Now that the work has been successfully completed, it's customary to celebrate. You can make your own arrangements. Oh, by the way, your uncle is thinking that since the Yang and Gu families are going to get married, why don't you and An An join in!" He threw the documents on the table, making a noise.

"An An? Third uncle, you know very well that I like Gu Jinluo. What's more, An An is still so young, we are not suitable at all!" Upon hearing the news, his face darkened.

"So what? These things were arranged by your uncle. Don't get too close to Gu Jinluo. If your uncle hears any rumors, the Gu family will not have an easy time." He didn't want to force his nephew, but the future is always more important than love.

He thought that he could at least have a few words with her after returning. Even if he couldn't marry her, he could at least turn down the marriage proposal. "I'll go talk to my cousin uncle!"

"Stop right there!" Ye Liangyun couldn't help but slam the table. If he really went there, not only the Gu family, but the Ye family would also be in trouble.

"I can't marry An An!" Even if he couldn't tell his uncle, he couldn't marry anyone.

"You are tired too, go back and have a rest. We can talk about these things another day." Speaking of the marriages of these young people, Ye Liangyun also had a headache.

Ye Fan returned home, feeling depressed. He locked himself in his room and drank a lot of wine. Yang Lin received a call from Ye's mother and went to Ye's house to find him.

It was the first time that Ye's mother saw Ye Fan like this, so she went to Ye Liangyun to ask about the situation.

Ye Liangyun was also helpless, and said: "I also want to break them up, but that is the Gu family. Xingzhi will hold military power after all. If the Ye family has soldiers and food, how can his cousin uncle not be afraid?"

"That's a bit far-fetched. If he can marry the daughter of the Gu family now, is he still afraid that the Pei family and the Su family will not be willing to submit to him?"

Five years ago, Ye Fan's father died in a laboratory explosion. Before his death, he entrusted his son to his brother. Ye's mother loved her son and often came to plead for mercy because her third uncle was too strict.

"The president originally wanted to take back the military power of the Pei, Li and Su families. Letting him go is also giving him a chance to train. Who knows how the military power will be distributed in the future?" The president's orders may change at any time, and he can't guarantee anything.

The next day, Director Hou received a call asking them to arrange a party to celebrate Ye Fan.

Gu Jinluo received a notice and asked Gu Lang to send a car to pick her up, so she went to pick up Yaoer and take her back to the opera house.

After two days of rehearsal, the party was scheduled for Friday night. Because her brother lived in the apartment building upstairs, she couldn't run around. Ye Fan couldn't look for her again because of his third uncle's warning. It had been a week since they returned to Beijing, and they hadn't found a chance to meet.

At the party, Su Mufeng whistled at Gu Jinluo again. Ye Fan couldn't help it and went up to hit him. The two men wrestled with each other and the audience was in chaos.

When the two men were pulled apart, Ye Fan had a cut on his forehead caused by something scratching him, and Su Mufeng was beaten with a bruised face and a tooth lost.

The people in the army sent the two to the hospital separately, and the performance on the stage ended hastily. Gu Jinluo took Yaoer to the hospital together.

Looking at the gauze on his forehead, she laughed and scolded: "Stupid, does it hurt?"

He grabbed her hand, asked her to sit on his lap, and said to her neck, "If not, how can I have the chance to see you."

"There are so many people, please don't do this." There were many people coming and going in the hospital corridor, and she struggled to get up.

"Can we go to the river to look at the stars?" He hadn't seen his sweetheart for a long time and was reluctant to let her go.

"You messed up your own welcoming party because of this?"

"No, seeing him like this makes me feel uncomfortable."

"The new major general impulsively beat someone up in the opera house. This will be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow. Aren't you afraid that your cousin will find out?"

"If you know, you know. It's better if you know." He let the person go. If he continued to sit like this, he would not be able to sleep at night.

"Didn't you say you were going to watch the stars? But we can't be back too late. If my brother knew, he wouldn't let me go out tomorrow." She took his hand and walked towards the hospital entrance.

Ye Fan pulled her over and said, "Let's go through the back door." The two of them walked through the crowd, ran into the darkness, came to the river, jumped into the boat, Ye Fan rowed the boat, and the boat floated into the river with the current.

She sat at the bow and said, "You beat up this young General Su. The Su family army will definitely make trouble for you in the future. Your cousin uncle will definitely pull you aside and give you a good scolding tomorrow. Major General Ye, you are so impulsive. How can you take on important responsibilities in the future?"

He put away the oars and got in the boat. "I am only impulsive when it comes to your affairs. This time when I come back, my third uncle wants me to marry An An. If my cousin is willing to meet me tomorrow, I will reject this marriage in front of him."

"Sure enough." This was also within her expectations.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, your brother Gu Lang hasn't even gotten married yet, so why are you in such a hurry to arrange your marriage?"

"My father is in poor health and has been taking medicine. He hopes to settle me down as soon as possible and get out of the Gu family. Brother Lang's mother has been waiting for him to inherit the family property, and my second uncle's children are also eyeing the family business. My father is afraid that he will not be able to hold on one day. I have no support behind me."

"Brother Lang?" He remembered that this brother was not a biological one, so why did he feel closer the more he called him?

"Well, this is the most painful thing. I understand my father's good intentions, but I still can't forgive his indifference over the years. Whenever I am in front of him, I always shrink back and dare not speak." The moonlight was clear, but she was struggling in her heart.

He stood up and sat next to her, "Luoluo, you can be yourself here."

She waved her round fan and said with a smile: "Be yourself?"

Ye Fan didn't understand. What was so funny about this? "Of course."

She covered half of her face with a round fan, but still had a smile in her eyes, and said, "Then take off your coat."

"Ah? This... isn't good... on the boat?" He scratched his head in a simple manner, shy like a young boy, while his other hand began to unbutton his clothes.

"What are you thinking about? I just want to lean on your shoulder, but your military uniform is really uncomfortable." Her shoulders began to shake from laughing.

He took off his coat, sighed, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "How do you like me to dress?"

She jokingly said, "I like you to wear nothing."

"Silly, I can only show you in the room without any clothes on."

"You are such a smooth talker. If you really meet your uncle, you must not be so impulsive again."

"Luoluo, can you call me Brother Ye?"

"Neuropathy."

"Then Brother Xingzhi and Brother Fan can also do it."

"..."

The fight at the opera house did make headlines in the newspapers and when the news reached the Presidential Palace, Ye Liangyun was unable to defend his nephew and could only stand aside and wait for the president to speak.

"This daughter of the Gu family is quite capable. Liang Yun, call her over so I can meet her."

"Yes." Ye Liangyun's heart skipped a beat. If he couldn't see Xingzhi, what could he do with this girl?

Gu Jinluo felt strange when she received the call. Shouldn't she meet the generals who had just returned? Why did she meet him? What did she want to ask?

After changing clothes, we got in the car and headed to the Presidential Palace.
