Chapter 130 Kicked to the Ground

the other side.

After finishing his morning exercises, Jiang Chen went to get breakfast for his younger sister. As he passed by the family compound, he saw Wen Ci with a man he had never seen before.

It looks like they came out of Chief Huo's courtyard.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, recalling the innocent slap he received. He pressed his tongue against his palate, his eyes icy cold. "If this isn't adultery, then who is?"

With that, Jiang Chen rushed towards the two of them.

Having trained for many years, he was in excellent physical condition. He ran to Wen Ci's side in a few steps, kicked the man hard, and spat on the ground. "Taking advantage of my brother-in-law's injury, you came to steal him away, didn't you?"

He needs a legitimate excuse to hit someone.

Xu Jinghe was completely oblivious, and was kicked to the ground, his handsome face filled with confusion. "Who are you?"

Wen Ci frowned and scolded, "Jiang Chen, are you out of your mind? This is Huo Jingyuan's childhood friend. What are you thinking all day?"

"Childhood friend? Haha."

Jiang Chen didn't believe it at all. If he was Huo Jingyuan's childhood friend, how come he had never met him before? Huo Jingyuan was also a child from a compound when they were young.

Wen Ci cursed, "Idiot."

It was lunchtime, and family members passing by gathered around to watch the commotion. Some even asked bluntly, "Who's stealing whose girlfriend?"

Wen Ci's face darkened. "Explain yourself."

"Explain what? Am I supposed to say there's no reason? You're married, going out with another man so early in the morning, doesn't that arouse suspicion?"

Wen Ci: "..."

She had witnessed the favoritism shown by her own brother.

But I never imagined that Jiang Chen would go to such lengths.

In the 1980s, gossip was a powerful force, especially in a compound. If rumors spread, the Jiang family would not only become a laughing stock, but it could even affect their promotions.

Xu Jinghe got up from the ground, dusted off his trouser legs, glanced at the surrounding crowd, and asked with a smile, "Aunt Wang, do you remember me?"

"Who are you calling?" Several women surnamed Wang were among the crowd.

"Your husband used to be Xu Jingguo's bodyguard? I am Xu Jinghe, Xu Jingguo's grandson. I also lived in the Beijing compound when I was a child."

Xu Jinguo is a name from a very, very long time ago.

But some people will still remember.

"Commander Xu's grandson?"

“Yes.” Xu Jinghe nodded.

Huo Jingyuan's maternal grandfather died peacefully at an old age.

Xu Jinghe's grandfather died in battle.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt a sense of foreboding. Although he had never met Xu Jinguo, his father had mentioned that most of his soldiers had served under him.

Wang Cuiping stepped forward, looked Xu Jinghe up and down, and smiled, "You look just like the old commander."

Seeing that no one around her recognized Xu Jinguo, Wang Cuiping explained, "Back in the 1960s, he was the minister of the 17th Army's elite corps."

The 17th Army is a legendary legion.

Xu Jinghe: "Huo Jingyuan and I are indeed childhood friends."

"When I was a child, this monkey also lived in the military compound. In the blink of an eye, it has grown so tall. Time flies."

Jiang Chen wanted to slip away.

But Wen Ci grabbed her arm, "Apologize!"

She didn't care about the Jiang family at all, and didn't care about their reputation being damaged, but Xu Jinghe was kicked to the ground for no reason and needed to apologize.

Jiang Chen touched his nose guiltily, "I've never even met him. Besides, I'm just thinking about my brother-in-law, worried that someone might steal him away."

"What do you mean by this?"

Xu Jinghe's tone was clearly angry. As someone who had once lived in a compound, he knew how gossipy the aunties in the compound were. If it weren't for mentioning his grandfather's name...
