Before Conway left the hospital, he asked Gu Mengmeng to wait in the car. He said that a comrade was living in the hospital and he needed to go and have a look. Gu Mengmeng didn't think much and ran to the bathroom by herself.
This is a well-known military hospital in the army. Although it is not as good as the military hospital, the facilities and medical staff cannot be underestimated. Not only does the bathroom have no smell, but there are also well-known brand hand sanitizers and dryers. When she came out to wash her hands
Someone pushed the door open and came in. Gu Mengmeng stood behind the green potted plant and looked up, only to find that she knew the person.
It's Qin Yun.
She was wearing a military uniform, her hair was tied up, her delicate eyebrows were slightly twisted, her head was lowered, and she was talking on a white mobile phone in her hand.
"Yes. Old classmate, I'm here."
"How is Awei's condition? What! He's not hospitalized? He's still gone?"
"Nonsense! Does he think he is made of iron? If I hadn't shut him down the night before the military parade, would he have been able to persist until now?" Her voice was passionate and mixed with deep worry and blame.
"Well. Thank you for informing me. Yes, I will go to your place later and return to the military headquarters later... I'm sorry, I didn't say hello to you when I got transferred. Okay, I will arrange for everyone to get together. Um, okay,
See you later."
After hanging up the phone, she opened the small door of the bathroom and went in. She didn't see Gu Mengmeng behind the green potted plant at all, with a thoughtful expression on her face and twinkling eyes.
Return to the military compound.
The Kang family, who had been waiting for the two of them to have dinner for a long time, were all sitting in the living room watching TV. Liu Chanhui was also there, but her face was not good, and she was close to Kang Qiao. When she saw the two coming in, she even inserted her hand into Kang Qiao's
In his hand, Kang Qiao frowned and held back without moving.
He Shanyun showed a smile and greeted the two of them.
"I'm back...wash your hands and get ready to eat! Aunt Wu kept shouting that the dishes are already cold."
Liu Chanhui curled her lips and said angrily: "I knew I was waiting for you, so I didn't come back early. The arrangements must have been too big. I haven't even gotten through yet, and yet I'm spoiled like this."
Kang Qiao turned around and stared at her: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."
Gu Mengmeng smiled apologetically at He Shanyun and Commander Kang: "I'm sorry for delaying everyone's meal."
She didn't mention the reason. Since Conway even hid it from her, it must be because of his reasons.
At the dinner table, the family seems to be in harmony, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent.
The reason was that the old couple bought a house in Huating for their younger son, which aroused the jealousy of the eldest daughter-in-law Liu Chanhui. Logically speaking, her marriage with Kang Qiao required almost zero money. Her natal family is one of the richest families in Beijing and even in China.
Of course, Kang Qiao is not weak either. It would be no problem for either of them to buy a luxurious villa, but she is partial to her parents-in-law. Gu Mengmeng is unwilling from the bottom of her heart...
"Mom, I also went to see the house in Huating. It's really good. Not only is the apartment layout reasonable, the property is excellent, and the transportation is convenient, but there are also key kindergartens and primary schools nearby. I'm going to discuss it with Kangqiao and we'll go there when we get back.
Buy a set and it will be very convenient to live there when the baby gets older." Liu Chanhui's words stirred up a stir, and at least four people put down their chopsticks.
"You only have five houses and villas under your name, why would you want to buy them somewhere else?" Kang Qiao's brows almost knitted into one spot.
He Shanyun looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and Gu Mengmeng, who was eating as usual, and felt really bad. They were both daughters-in-law, so why was there such a big gap?
She coughed and said to Liu Chanhui: "We, the old couple, don't have to keep you at home to take care of us and prevent you from living in a world of two. If you and Kang Qiao feel that living at home is uncomfortable, then you can move out.
As long as Kang Qiao agrees and you have chosen the house, your father and I will also pay for it for you."
"Mom, look what you said. How can I ask for the old man's money? Kang Qiao and I have a lot of money, and I can afford it myself. Isn't that right, Kang Qiao?"
The provocative words and arrogant demeanor made Conway unable to bear it any longer. He slapped his chopsticks with a fierce look on his face. He took out his bank card from his wallet and placed it on the table.
"Mom, keep this card. The money in it is enough to buy a house and hold a wedding."
He Shanyun was shocked and hurriedly pushed back. "Where did you get the money? I don't know about the salary in the army. Your father and I have only been able to buy a house for you two after working together for a lifetime. Take it back quickly and get married."
There are so many places to spend your money.”
Conway smiled, raised a few cards in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Your son is still very capable. Although he is not as wealthy as his elder brother, he still has the capital to marry a wife and go home."
After listening to this, Commander Kang put down his chopsticks. His eyes were a little sharp, and he asked Conway solemnly: "You didn't do any bad things in the army, right?" Everyone here knows that Commander Kang's bad deeds are nothing more than accepting bribes and using illegal means.
illegal acts such as misappropriation of public property.
Conway laughed.
"Dad, do you think there is anything in our barren place that makes me want to take bribes? What's more, don't you know best what I am doing in the army?"
Commander Kang was still not at ease. He picked up the card on the table and asked, "Then tell me where you got all the money."
Gu Mengmeng stopped eating because she also wanted to know about this issue. When she saw him paying money to the hospital in Xi'an before, she wanted to know how a major in the army could afford four-digit medical expenses with just his salary.
What's more, it doesn't look like it's the first time he's done it.
Conway scratched his head and murmured for a long time, but then said: "Keep it secret!"
Cambridge came out to smooth things over.
"Awei, take the card back. I will bear the cost of your wedding room, including all the wedding expenses."
"No!" Gu Mengmeng suddenly spoke at this time. After being silent for so long, this was the first time she spoke. She wanted to clarify her meaning before Kangqiao took over.
She looked at the table of puzzled or jealous and disdainful faces and said: "This is Conway and I's wedding, so naturally we will be responsible for it. Conway and I will be responsible for the cost of buying the house and the wedding expenses. In this way,
Everyone has no objection. Besides, the wedding..." She paused, turned her head to meet Conway's hot eyes, and pursed her lips with a faint smile.
"We plan to keep everything simple. Conway and I have discussed it and are preparing to return to the army to hold a ceremony."
