“I’ve already applied to transfer to the Southern Military District.”
Jiang Ye held onto his arm affectionately, her eyes full of tenderness. “Brother, if you leave, what am I supposed to do?”
“Study hard. If you really don’t get into university, just accept the job assignment arranged by the school.”
Jiang Ye: “…”
Others might not know,
but she, a woman who had been reborn, knew very well that high school graduates from these two cohorts were still guaranteed job assignments.
After that,assignments would stop, and the performance of state-owned factories would plummet, with delays in wage payments.
If you wanted to keep working,that was fine.
But you wouldn’t get paid.
Those coworkers who could tough it out for a few more years would eventually manage to retire;those who couldn’t would have to resign and find their own way.
“I—” Jiang Ye started to speak, but Wen Yaozu’s voice cut in: “Sister, they’re both talking about you behind your back.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen and Jiang Ye, who were walking ahead, turned around simultaneously. Jiang Chen’s face wore an expression of impatience.
But Jiang Ye’s gaze fixed directly on Huo Jingyuan’s face. Such a handsome man, who would even become a general in the future.
And Wen Ci would be the general’s wife—all of this was only because she had benefited from Jiang Ye’s own actions.If only her rebirth had happened a little earlier,
she would never have revealed even a hint about the Wen family’s affairs.
Then she would be the one marrying Huo Jingyuan.
What a pity!
Jiang Ye’s gaze slowly shifted to Wen Ci’s face,a sour feeling rising in her chest. She asked with feigned concern, “I heard Brother Jingyuan was injured. Why didn’t he stay in the hospital to recuperate?”
Wen Ci rolled her eyes.
Brother Jingyuan~How intimately said.
“No need for your concern,”Huo Jingyuan replied coldly.
Although Wen Ci called him a clueless straight man,he could still distinguish the affection in Jiang Ye’s eyes.
“Brother Jingyuan, you’re so cold.”
This simpering tone was too much even for Jiang Chen, who frowned at Jiang Ye.
How could she be so brazen?Trying to steal someone’s partner right in front of the state-run hotel—undermining a military marriage could get you shot.
Jiang Chen tugged at her sleeve. “Stop making a scene in public.”
“Where am I making a scene?”
Wen Ci’s expression was calm as she spoke unhurriedly,”If you’re not here to eat, could you please stop blocking the entrance?”
“Who says we’re not eating?”
Jiang Ye put her hands on her hips.The reason she and Jiang Chen had come to the state-run hotel was to cool off after their argument.
“If it weren’t for you tattling to Dad,would Brother have had that huge fight with Mom and Dad? Now Brother is being transferred to a military district in another province. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Wen Ci shrugged. “What does that have to do with me?”
“Exactly,”Wen Yaozu chimed in, backing her up. “You just said yourself you applied to go to the Southern Military District, and now you’re blaming my sister?”
His eyes darted around,and he said, “Ugly people cause strange troubles. They never look at themselves, just blame, blame, blame.
Are you a monster?All you do is guai blame.”
“Monster”was a term he’d picked up from a cartoon he recently watched—monsters were the evil villains.
Jiang Ye’s face was full of question marks.
She looked at the chubby boy in front of her and frowned.”You’re Wen Yaozu? What are you doing in the capital?”
“Who are you?”
Jiang Ye suddenly seemed to remember something,and a smile spread across her face. “Who am I? I’m your biological sister.”
“Don’t know you.”
Ever since his sister(Wen Ci) got married, his parents had told him about this, but he only recognized Wen Ci as his real sister.
As for anyone else,he wasn’t familiar with them.
“It doesn’t matter if you recognize me or not.You just need to know I’m your biological sister.”
Wen Yaozu covered his ears with his hands; he couldn’t be bothered to listen to any more of this nonsense. “Sister, Brother-in-law, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”
Huo Jingyuan smiled. “Okay, let’s go eat.”
