“Oh right, Meng’er, I want to take the college entrance examination for the military academy.” As the four of them walked in, Chen Haoguo suddenly whispered to Chen Meng’er.
When Chen Meng’er heard this, her footsteps paused. Then, she returned to normal. “Why do you suddenly want to take the military academy examination? Is there something wrong?” Chen Meng’er stopped smiling. She turned her head and looked seriously at her brother, Chen Haoguo. “If you have any concerns, I can tell you now that I still have the ability to protect you guys without any worries in the capital. You don’t have to.” Chen Meng’er had never heard her brother mention that he was going to apply for the military academy.
“Meng’er, I don’t want to become your burden. I want to be a good safeguard behind you. At least, I don’t want to drag you down. Of course, I also have my own thoughts. I still look forward to the military academy. I still look forward to wearing that military uniform. Meng’er, I’ll tell you today. I’ve thought it through thoroughly,” Chen Haoguo said firmly.
Chen Meng’er was silent for a long while before she raised her head and looked at Chen Haoguo. “Since you’ve already thought it through, I won’t say anymore. If you need anything, just tell me. Hmm, how about this? Later, I’ll bring you to meet my grandfather, Elder Qu.” Chen Meng’er suddenly realized that she seemed to have a lot of connections.
In her previous life, she had tried all sorts of ways but couldn’t get into contact with him. In this life, however, she could do it with ease.
“Okay.” Chen Haoguo knew that if he didn’t agree, Chen Meng’er would definitely not be happy. Therefore, he went along with Chen Meng’er’s wishes and nodded his head in agreement.
Meanwhile, Chen Meng’er was already planning how to pave the way for her brother in the future. After all, the military academy was not that easy to get into. After graduating from the military academy, they also needed manpower. Without manpower, it would be a waste of time.
However, Chen Meng’er was not worried at all. What she did not lack the most right now was manpower.
“Meng’er, you’re back!” Chen Meng’er really did not know what day it was today. Why did this crowd of people appear? The four of them walked into the front hall of the Green Gang while chatting and laughing.
“Yuwen, you’re here.” Only Chen Meng’er greeted Yuwen Jing with a smile.
Ever since Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan came to the capital, Qu Haoxiang had said something to the two brothers. From then on, every time they saw Yuwen Jing, the three brothers, led by Qu Haoxiang, would act as if they were facing a great enemy.
They all looked as if they wanted nothing more than to protect Chen Meng’er behind them so that Yuwen Jing would not see her.
“Hey, Yuwen Jing, aren’t you the head of that Buyano family? Isn’t the Buyano family in England? Why are you so free to stay in the capital all the time? I say, Yuwen Jing, are you sure that you will be fine if you go back to your Buyano Family? Don’t let your position as the family head be snatched away by others.” Every time Qu Haoxiang met Yuwen Jing, he would immediately release his sharp claws.
Regarding the matter of splitting his sister with Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan, Qu Haoxiang was already generous enough. However, he was not happy that Yuwen Jing wanted to snatch his sister away from him.
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Yuwen Jing took into account that Qu Haoxiang was Chen Meng’er’s older brother. Every time he faced Qu Haoxiang’s provocation, he would endure it. His grandfather had said that this brother-in-law could not be ignored. If he wanted to successfully marry Chen Meng’er, he had to endure it first.
“Meng’er, I’m here today because my grandmother wants to invite you to visit her in the next two days when you’re free.” If Yuwen Jing wanted to give in to Qu Haoxiang, he could, but he would just ignore Qu Haoxiang. Yuwen Jing deliberately avoided Qu Haoxiang and turned to ask Chen Meng’er.
Before Chen Meng’er could answer, Qu Haoxiang rushed to help Chen Meng’er answer, “I’m sorry. Go back and tell Grandma Yuwen that Meng’er is quite busy. When she’s free, I’ll accompany her to visit Grandma Yuwen.”
Yuwen Jing was telling the truth this time. Madam Yuwen said that she missed Chen Meng’er. She also mentioned that this girl had been so busy recently that she did not have time to visit her. Yuwen Jing used this as an excuse to show off. After staying in the capital for so many days, the number of times he had the chance to be alone with Chen Meng’er could be counted on one hand.
In the past, it was Elder Liu, Zhuge Yu and the others from the Green Gang who were on guard against him. He could still take advantage of their busy times to be with Meng’er. But now, there was that big family from the Qu family. They were on guard against him to the point that even Qu Haoxiang had to take action.
So, he had an idea and came up with such an excuse.
Yuwen Jing acted as if he did not hear Qu Haoxiang’s words. Instead, he stared at Chen Meng’er and said, “Originally, Grandma wanted to come and see you personally. However, her health has not been very good recently, and she often feels a little dizzy.”
When Chen Meng’er heard Yuwen Jing say that Madam Yuwen was not feeling well, she frowned. She knew about Madam Yuwen’s health, and she had also been exhorting Madam Yuwen to take care of herself. She also asked Marquis Yuwen and Yuwen Jing to keep an eye on her. However, Madam Yuwen was getting old. Her body’s functions were not as good as before. “If that’s the case, then I’ll go and see Grandma Yuwen tomorrow. Yuwen, just come and pick me up tomorrow morning.”
Yuwen Jing had gotten what he wanted. Qu Haoxiang did not like Yuwen Jing at all.
