“My sister is really difficult to deal with; you should let me compliment you in front of her!” Du Jun said. If someone as oblivious as Du Jun knew that Madam Du was a difficult person, it was clear how scary she was.
Fortunately, it seems that Ye Qiao managed to get Du Jun to be on her side! She cheered silently.
“Uncle Du, Xiao and I have just started dating, so we are not in a rush to tell our parents. Meeting them is a whole other level! It’s best if you don’t tell anyone about what I helped you with, not even Xiao. Besides, isn’t it all your work? I’ve only been tagging along!” Ye Qiao said seriously, not forgetting to compliment him. This dumb uncle loved compliments the most, especially when they came from people he cared about.
Du Jun was so excited that his face lit up at once! His handsome features looked even better than a pretty woman when he smiled.
In her previous life, Madam Du did not like her largely because of her own problems. In this life, she would not repeat the same mistakes. She wanted to stand before Madam Du as a successful and reliable daughter-in-law!

The base camp was hosting a rare arts performance.
The Blood Wolf crew got their rare chance to rest and arrived at the hall to watch the performance. The female members of the cultural arts team danced like fluttering flowers on stage, making the male soldiers, who had not seen any females throughout the whole year, feel a little shy and agitated. When the performance reached its climax, they all clapped excitedly.
However, Beixiao was yawning out of boredom.
What was so interesting?! He was so bored that he glanced at Lao Cai and noticed that there was a female commander who was hitting on him. Nevertheless, the man was totally unbothered and was sitting up straight – what a bore.
The dance was followed by bel canto.
Beixiao took the chance to sneak out of the hall, but just when he was about to sneak into the office to make a call, he heard a soft and sweet voice.
“Beixiao!”
‘Who is this?’ Beixiao thought to himself as he saw the girl who was in a dance uniform with her silky hair let down.
“Beixiao, did you forget me? I’m Gu Xueyan!” The girl walked towards him and looked up at him with a smile.
“I don’t recall such a person.” Beixiao was not polite at all.
“My mom and your mom are best friends!” Gu Xueyan panicked a little and raised her voice is astonishment.
Oh… He still could not remember.
“What’s the matter?” Beixiao was still expressionless and was even a little annoyed.
“Nothing much. I spotted you immediately while I was on stage… it felt like fate. And now, I just came out, and I met you again!” Gu Xueyan blushed.
“I think all of your female teammates could spot me immediately!” Duh, he had always attracted the most attention wherever he went! At this point, he could already tell what this little girl came for. “Go find someone else; I have a girlfriend!” Beixiao said and left quickly.
Gu Xueyan’s intention was exposed, and she stood there in embarrassment. After seeing him leave, she bent down and started crying!
She finally mustered the courage to find him, yet he would not even take a look at her! Her mom even agreed with Aunt Du that they would let the two of them get married in the future!

For ease of contact, the prodigal son gave her a cell phone that was worth 20k yuan. Holding the “brick” that weighed more than a pound, Ye Qiao knocked Du Jun’s head! She would rather take the cash! With that amount of money, she would’ve been able to buy a house in J Town!
Besides, this “brick” was way too heavy and flimsy; she could not even fit it in her normal bags!
The phone bill was not cheap, either. It charged 6 cents a minute for both parties on the call! Long-distance phone calls were calculated on a different tier as well. Included in this 20k yuan, 1000+ yuan worth of prepaid phone credit was added, so she would be able to use it for quite a while.
When she held the phone while walking in the train tunnel, she could feel countless envious gazes falling on her.
A billionaire!
In this generation, those who could afford a cell phone were either rich capitalists or influential political figures.
Suddenly, the phone rang
