Chapter 466 Zhu Kaixuan, who inspires "jealousy"
Reading Settings
"Second Brother!"
The little girl, wearing a pair of black leather shoes, ran down from the second floor with a light leap, landing directly on Fang Meng's back. She wrapped her arms around the young man's neck, turned her head to look at his handsome profile, and her watery eyes shone with a warm, sunny smile.
"Be careful, don't fall!"
Fang Meng quickly placed the brush and glue he was holding on the shoe cabinet by the door, then swiftly reached behind his back with one hand, firmly supporting her little bottom with his palm, and gently bounced her up and down with a touch of affection.
"Tch, who do you think you are!" The little girl's lips curled up, looking smug and charming.
Bai Nuo glanced at the paper-cut window decorations on the living room window, then looked around the clean and tidy living room, and gently pinched Fang Meng's cheek with her little hand.
"Didn't we agree to get ready together after I got up? Why didn't you wake me up!"
"You're sleeping soundly, and there's not much work to do, so how could I bear to wake you? Besides, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang came to help early this morning. How could the three of us grown men not be able to handle this little thing?"
Fang Meng did go to her room in the morning and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he didn't have the heart to wake her. However, it was only when he entered Bai Nuo's room that the little girl wasn't disturbed. If it were anyone else, she would probably wake up as soon as they stepped onto the second floor.
"Hey you two, still wearing your military uniforms, mind your image!" Zhu Kaixuan had just come out of the room when he saw the two children back to back, hugging each other and swaying around in the living room. He couldn't help but purse his lips in exasperation.
It's a good thing that the two kids have a good relationship, but we should also consider the feelings of their father.
They're not even married yet...
"Good morning, Dad!"
Bai Nuo wasn't shy at all, sitting confidently on the back of the boat, turning around to greet Zhu Kaixuan with a smile. Her open and honest demeanor made Zhu Kaixuan too embarrassed to say anything more, and he could only shake his head with a helpless smile.
Fang Meng also turned around with his back to her and said with a smile, "Dad, good morning. Everything at home is ready. Xiao Wang has brought back breakfast, and the wild game has been delivered to the mess hall. Xiao Li and Xiao Wang just returned to the military region."
Zhu Kaixuan nodded in satisfaction. The more he looked at this son-in-law, the more pleasing he became.
Unlike the typical chauvinistic men of today, this child always volunteered to do all the chores at home without ever complaining, and he was incredibly good to Bai Nuo. Sometimes Zhu Kaixuan even felt that this kid spoiled his daughter more than he did.
Occasionally, he couldn't help but worry: what if his son-in-law was "bullied" by his own daughter one day?
Will he stand up for his son-in-law or hide away when the time comes?!
After the family of three finished breakfast, they went to the backyard and small cubicle to organize the New Year's goods and gifts they would take back to the No. 1 Military Region compound that evening.
Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two children had to visit each household to offer New Year's greetings and gifts. The No. 1 Military Region compound was far away, and driving back and forth to pick up and deliver the gifts was too troublesome. In the end, the three of them unanimously decided to drive three cars back to the compound to celebrate the New Year!
Anyway, Zhu Kaixuan and Fang Meng both have company cars, and Bai Nuo has his own sedan, so there's no need for them to go through all that trouble. Only this family, either extremely wealthy or holding high positions of power, can be so "arrogant".
These days, let alone cars, not even bicycles are owned by every household.
At noon, Zhu Kaixuan took his daughter and son-in-law to the military region's auditorium to attend the all-army gala.
When Bai Nuo walked in, several people in the family compound who knew her were still somewhat dazed.
It's hard to imagine that a little girl who was walking around the family compound in a police uniform just a month ago has suddenly changed into a military uniform, and her status has changed from a military dependent to a regular soldier. More importantly, she is a battalion-level officer, which is higher than the military rank of most of the men in the military dependents present.
This girl is only seventeen years old. It's no exaggeration to say she's "the youngest battalion-level officer in the entire army." What's even more astonishing is that her boyfriend, Fang Meng, is the youngest deputy regimental-level officer in the entire army.
Most importantly, these two young men earned their military ranks entirely through their own abilities and hard-earned military achievements. Those gleaming medals are the strongest proof of that.
...How come the Zhu family gets all these good things?!
She's so outstanding that it's impossible to even feel jealous.
Zhu Kaixuan walked into the auditorium without any hesitation, and led his daughter and future son-in-law to the front to introduce his two children to the several high-ranking leaders who had been invited to attend the 28th Military Region's gala.
Not far away, the aunt who had been indignant in the family compound that morning, complaining that Bai Nuo was wasteful and didn't know how to manage money, looked at the front of the auditorium with complicated eyes, her expression so sour that she could hardly control her expression.
She grabbed her son, a platoon leader, and muttered to herself with a disappointed tone:
"Look at you, why don't you learn from your cousin? Last year, your cousin found a factory office director to be his wife, and his father-in-law is going to promote him after the New Year. Not only that, he even got your younger cousin a job in their factory! Everyone back home is envious! And look at you, you have no sense at all!"
“I’ve found out everything. That big leader’s daughter has been with the army for a month now. Why don’t you seize the opportunity? If you became that big leader’s son-in-law, would you still need to be a platoon leader for so many years? Your older brother would still need to be a lowly temporary worker in the factory, doing tiring and heavy work, and always being bullied. Why can’t you, as the younger brother, think more about your older brother?”
"I came here today specifically for your marriage! I originally thought your division commander's daughter would be fine, but I asked around, and the division commander's position is nowhere near that of that high-ranking leader. Although that girl is a bit of a spendthrift, don't worry, after you get married, your mother will be there to keep her in check..."
"mother!"
The platoon leader interrupted her expressionlessly, his eyes filled with utter disgust and despair.
