That was right. Why had they not thought of that?
Soldiers devote their entire lives to the army. How would they have time to find a mistress?
Colonel Lu adored his wife and wanted to be with her whenever he had free time. He could not possibly have time to look for a new woman.
âWhat about the woman, Colonel Lu? Are you planning to see her?â the soldier asked.
âNo.â
âIf she wants to kneel, let her kneel,â Lu Xingzhi said as he shook his head. âI canât be forced to meet with anyone simply because they wish to meet me. What will I do then? Does she have the authority to come and go as she pleases? Donât we have rules in the army?â
âWhat?âSupport our
The young warrior was utterly taken aback. âDo you really want her to continue kneeling at the entrance? Thatâs not very good, is it?
âYou can ask her to kneel further away if you believe thatâs not nice.â
Lu Xingzhi let out a snort. âAnyway, I am going for a walk with my wife. I donât have time to worry about those people.â
âNo, Colonel Lu. She is a young lady. Why donât you go out and introduce yourself to her? Make an effort to persuade her? At the very least, encourage her to go.â The soldier thought the womanâs dignity had vanished. She was also a well-known figure. She must have cared about her reputation.
âYou can do that if you want to.â
Lu Xingzhi stepped around to the side, holding Jiang Yaoâs hand. Then he addressed Zhou Junmin and his parents. He was unconcerned about what Zhou Hailan wanted to do.
For a few seconds, the soldier stood and waited. He scratched his head and walked away with a blank expression when he noticed Lu Xingzhi did not want to go out. Colonel Lu was just like what everyone said. He thought, âI donât know what prompted such a big star to kneel at the entrance like that. Colonel
Lu is ruthless and cold. If it were anyone else, they would at least show pity to the attractive woman kneeling outside once they learned about it. They would coax her, at least.
...
However, Lu Xingzhi seemed unconcerned about it.
Zhou Junmin could not take it any longer as he waited for the soldier to leave. He asked about Zhou Hailanâs reason for being there.
âAll she needs is to learn a lesson.â
Lu Xingzhi was too lazy to explain himself, so he only said, âDidnât you mention your grandparents would be coming as well?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMy mother said that my grandfather has been in poor health recently and has been coughing a lot. My grandmother stayed at home to take care of him. Furthermore, itâs a long way. She was afraid they wouldnât be able to take it, so they didnât come.â Zhou Junmin sighed. âItâs a little regretful, but thereâs nothing we can do. Their health is more important.â
âDid you take them to the doctor for a check-up?â Lu Xingzhi had met Zhou Junminâs grandparents. He had only met them once, but they were upbeat and joyful. He had not seen them in a long time.
âNo, the old man is stubborn. No one can make him do anything. He has a bad temper, like a child. He refuses to go to the hospital no matter what. He is afraid of spending money and will be admitted to the hospital if there are any bad results.â Mr. Zhou shook his head helplessly. âIâve been trying to persuade him for a few days. I canât convince him no matter what. â
Jiang Yao was sympathetic to Mr. Zhouâs plight. They experienced similar problems like her parents. They were terrified of spending money, so they had never agreed to go to the hospital for a check-up. They also feared that they would have to stay in the hospital indefinitely if something terrible happened.
They were even more afraid that their children would be worried for them.
âNo matter what, especially when someone has reached a certain age, they must have regular check-ups,â Jiang Yao said. âActually, itâs good if you can bring him here. Iâm here. I can take a look at him..â
