Chapter 376

Sun Manrou’s eyes lit up. “Comrade Tong is so pretty. It’s only natural that you’d fall for her, Third Brother.”

If Third Brother could become Tong Xuelu’s boyfriend and have Tong Xuelu break up with Wen Rugui, things would go much smoother on her end.Nevertheless, Sun Wuyang’s response was, “I did not fall for her. I merely enjoy her cooking. Certainly she does not have what I look for in a spouse.”Given the Sun family’s status, for certain he would need to find a girl whose family’s status rival that of his. Tong Xuelu was very pretty, but her family’s status was too low.As such, he merely went to check her out. He would never have feelings for her.That reminded Sun Manrou. “That makes sense. Even if you are okay with that, Uncle and Aunty would never agree to that.”Sun Wuyang, “How’s your preparation for the banquet tomorrow night? Are you going to be fine?”Tomorrow, the Air Force, the Navy, as well as several military headquarters and military-affiliated compounds such as the General Logistics Compound will hold a large-scale gala.Partly it was to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the founding of the country and also partly to offer an opportunity for the single men in the military to meet women.The event had been in planning for a very long time and, normally speaking, with Sun Wuyang and Sun Manrou returning so late, they would not get a chance to perform on the stage that night.Nevertheless, for the sake of allowing Sun Manrou to shine on stage and to have Old Mr. Wen saw how outstanding she was, Sun Wuyang had exercised his family’s network.As it stood, Commander Xiao was about to return to the Capital City and Sun Wuyang used that to his advantage. He said Sun Manrou wanted to perform a dance for her godfather.It was just a matter of an extra performance and was not a big deal. Naturally, the cultural troupe agreed to it for the sake of Commander Xiao and the Sun family.Commander Xiao had phoned yesterday, saying that he was tied up by something and would not be able to make it back to the Capital City. That being said, Sun Manrou’s performance had already been arranged, not to mention that her goal wasn’t to perform for Commander Xiao anyway.She wanted to perform for Old Mr. Wen. As such, her performance would still take place as planned.Sun Manrou gave a confident smile. “I’ll be more than fine!”She was the star of the Northwestern Cultural Troupe before she joined the publisher. Her technique in dance was solid and rivaled by very few!She had been practicing a lot at home in the last few days when she was not working and she wanted to impressed everyone this time.Sun Wuyang was pleased with her respond. “I trust your skills in dance. Too bad that Rugui can’t make it back. It would be perfect if he could be here.”Sun Manrou, too, felt regretful about that.Low and behold, she received good news the next morning. That Wen Rugui had returned from his base!Sun Manrou was ecstatic when she learned of the news. She felt for certain that Wen Rugui returned specifically to see her performance!She was going to do her best tonight and stun everyone!***“Are you interested in it? If you want to go, I will come and pick you up before dark.”Wen Rugui happened to be mentioning the event at the military compound tonight to Tong Xuelu.“Yes, sure. That sounds fun.”Tong Xuelu had learned about the event form Old Mr. Wen in the past. She was not interested in it before, but she had since changed her mind.She wasn’t aware of existence of Sun Manrou, the green tea, before. And that Wen Rugui was not back. That was why she was not interested in it.Now that Wen Rugui was back. She wanted to see how Wen Rugui would handle matters with Green Tea Sun.Wen Rugui, “I’ll come and pick you up tonight then.”As Tong Xuelu still must work, the two must part for the time being.And Wen Rugui returned to the military compound.
