Chapter 422 Bewitching the Two Sisters
When Lu Yao looked over, Yuan Shumei lowered her head.
To say she doesn't love Lu Yao is nonsense; she loves him to the core.
Young, handsome, capable, and caring, he risked his life to save her.
The moment Yuan Shumei pointed a gun at Shi Shouyin's head and said, "Don't touch my woman," and when she beat that bastard Shi Shouyin until his face was covered in blood, her heart trembled with emotion.
However, because he was friends with Ding Mei, he could only keep his feelings to himself and dared not express them.
She was completely flustered when her father proposed marriage to her in public.
I don't know how to answer.
I chose to abstain.
Lu Yao understood immediately; he had almost lost control and had sex with her several times.
I also like this smart, capable, self-respecting, and beautiful girl.
However, we shouldn't abandon Xiao Meizi because of this.
Although his philandering nature was uncontrollable, his love for Ding Mei was genuine.
How could he possibly abandon Ding Mei and marry someone else?
He smiled and shook his head: "Uncle, you wouldn't want me to be a faithless person. Although Ding Mei and I haven't gone through a blind date or gotten engaged, I promised her. In my opinion, a man's word is his bond, and I can't break my promise!"
Hearing Lu Yao say this, Yuan Hai could only look helplessly at Yuan Tianshu.
The meaning is clear: I tried my best, but they didn't agree.
At this moment, Fan Suzhen spoke again:
"Xiao Lu, actually, you can be friends with Shu Mei first, get to know each other, and then make your own choice. We're not forcing you, we're just giving you a suggestion."
Yang Shouye, standing to the side, chuckled and chimed in:
"Yes, Xiao Lu, our Shumei is a very talented woman. You won't be at a disadvantage if you make her your friend..."
He only shut up after Lu Yao stepped on his foot under the table.
Lu Yao smiled and nodded to Fan Suzhen:
"I understand that your aunt and uncle mean well, I know that, and I will!"
I couldn't refuse any longer; Yuan Shumei was sitting on the kang (heated brick bed) opposite me.
If you appear overtly resistant, that will be hurtful.
This is not something someone with Lu Yao's emotional intelligence should do.
"Shumei and I are very good friends. We'll handle things well. Come on, let's drink!"
He then filled Yuan Hai's and Yuan Tianshu's cups with wine.
He asked, "Mr. Yuan, what kind of soldier were you in back then?"
Yuan Tianchu smiled slightly: "I wasn't a civilian soldier for very long; I spent more time working in local areas."
"Have you ever been to the battlefield?"
"no."
Lu Yao smiled slightly: "I think Elder Yuan has indeed been through a lot, as if he has been through a hail of bullets."
As she spoke, she stared at his arm.
It was hot inside, so everyone took off their cotton-padded coats. On Yuan Tianchu's arm, where his sleeves were rolled up, were clearly gunshot wound scars.
"No, no, I've always worked in the rear, promoted from a civilian soldier to an officer, and then transferred to civilian work..."
Yuan Tianchu subconsciously lowered his sleeve.
She pulled up her collar again.
He has so many scars on his body that he can't even count them all.
I served in the army when I was young, but later I lost my unit in a war and became an outlaw.
When I was a bandit, I was always the first to charge into battle.
Without this reckless spirit, he wouldn't have become the leader he was later on.
If he didn't have his own troops, who would want to recruit him? So he was given the position of colonel and regimental commander.
Yuan Tianchu's unconscious little action surprised Lu Yao a bit.
In fact, Lu Yao was just chatting casually, and his words were unintentional, but they made Yuan Tianshu a little reserved.
This micro-expression did not escape Lu Yao's keen eyes, a seasoned veteran with decades of social experience.
It's normal for people who have lived through war years or those who haven't served in the military to have scars. Lu Yao only asked this question because he sensed that Lu Yao's gaze was sharp and murderous, and his posture was upright as if he had been trained.
What is he trying to hide?
Is it shameful to have served in the military, been on the battlefield, or been wounded?
Many people use it to show off.
Yuan Tianchu was also cunning and shrewd; after only a brief second of hesitation, he returned to normal.
"Come, let me toast Company Commander Lu again. Although I've never been on the battlefield, I have the utmost respect for combat heroes. Lu, you were born too late; if you had been born a few years earlier during the war against the Japanese, you would surely have been a fierce anti-Japanese general!"
Lu Yao sighed, "This is indeed my regret."
Everyone stopped talking about Lu Yao and Yuan Shumei's marriage, and Yuan Shumei breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
I finished the meal with everyone, feeling preoccupied.
As Yuan Hai was getting dressed and about to leave, he looked at Yuan Shumei:
"Shumei, why don't you come home with your father?"
The meaning is clear: they haven't agreed to take you in, so it's not good for you to stay in Jiapigou.
Yuan Shumei shook her head and said, "I'd better go back and tell Xiao Meizi before going home. It's not good to stay at her place for so long and just leave without saying a word!"
Yuan Tianchu nodded: "Yes, yes, Shumei is right. One should finish what one starts. We can't just go home halfway. We should go back and thank the Ding family. Dahai, give Shumei a hundred yuan as a token of our gratitude to the Ding family."
At that time, one hundred yuan was roughly equivalent to three months' wages for an average worker, which was more than enough to express gratitude.
Yuan Hai had come prepared, taking out ten brand-new banknotes from his pocket, all of them being "big unity" notes.
Handed to Yuan Shumei:
"Here you go, our Yuan family can't owe anyone a favor."
Yuan Shumei took it without saying anything, feeling that her father's words were somewhat belittling of Ding Mei.
Ding Mei helped me because we were kindred spirits; it wasn't something I could thank her for with money.
If you give her money, Ding Mei will definitely get angry.
The members of the Yuan family all stood up to leave.
When Fan Suzhen was putting on her coat, she flicked it, and the corner of the coat knocked a wine glass off the table.
Yuan Tianshu happened to be standing to the side, and with a quick reach, he caught the falling wine glass halfway and placed it steadily back on the table.
Lu Yao couldn't help but praise, "Old Yuan, you're so old yet still so quick and agile! What amazing skills!"
"what?"
Yuan Tianshu had already placed the wine glass down, but when he let go, his little finger slipped, and the glass fell back down.
"Snap"
It shattered when it hit the red brick floor.
Yuan Tianchu chuckled dryly, "I'm getting old, my hands and feet aren't as nimble as they used to be."
As she got up to get dressed and walked out, she seemed to deliberately slow down.
Lu Yao couldn't help but become suspicious.
She could simply praise him casually without trying to hide it. Others might not notice the little gesture with her little finger, but Lu Yao could see it clearly.
This old man is definitely not an ordinary civilian cadre.
Based on my intuition, I sensed a bloody smell emanating from him…
This kind of murderous aura cannot be acquired by killing a few people.
Back when he was working abroad, his intuition was very accurate.
People who don't kill as often as they do won't have this kind of murderous aura.
And Yuan Tianchu's murderous aura was even stronger than Lin Dong and Zhang Mazi's!
However, since the other party was an elderly man over sixty years old, even if Lu Yao sensed that he was hiding something or concealing something, he could not ask any further questions.
She still got up to see him out.
She chatted and laughed with him, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
His words and actions captivated the two sisters on the kang (heated brick bed), so much so that they forgot to get up and help him see the person off.
Yuan Shumei felt that Lu Yao had the demeanor of a great general. No matter whether the other party was a high-ranking noble or a lowly member of the lower class, you could not see much change in his attitude towards people.
Be neither servile to the powerful and wealthy nor arrogant to the common people.
She was always so polite and poised.
Not only was she staring at Lu Yao with fascination, but even her older sister, Yuan Shuya, was looking at him intently, secretly tugging at her sister's clothes.
"Lu Yao is so handsome, even more handsome than Yang Ming!"
In her mind, all elegance and grace are categorized under the word "good-looking".
