Chapter 319 Finding Wealth in Danger

After Jiang Moli finished speaking, she waited a few seconds without a response and wondered if the call had been disconnected.

"Hey?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Cheng's eyes crinkled with crow's feet, and his lips curled up in a lewd grin.

"Jasmine, could you repeat what you just said?"

Jiang Moli chuckled and said, "Actually, what I wanted to say was that I can't wait any longer. I want to be the regimental commander's wife right now."

Lu Cheng did not think his wife was materialistic; on the contrary, he felt extremely satisfied that he could make his wife gain status through her husband.

All the hard work and struggle in the first half of my life seemed to have become more meaningful.

He said earnestly, "Jasmine, thank you. I will definitely not let you down."

After a pause, he told Jiang Moli about the situation in Menglong Town: "...Menglong is not only more difficult to get along with than Menghai, but it is also more dangerous. You can still regret it now."

"It's alright. Even if we do encounter danger, it's my own choice. Who told me to be greedy for wealth? Fortune favors the bold."

Lu Cheng took it as a joke.

His wife is gentle, kind, intelligent, and broad-minded; she is the most wonderful woman in the world.

On the contrary, he, as a man and a husband, owed his wife a great deal.

"Jasmine, in my heart, your safety is as inviolable as our homeland. I would risk my life to protect you."

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Jiang Moli laughed it off, but in her heart she was planning that the day she faked her death and escaped would be a day when Lu Cheng was away.

She had originally planned to visit the military base before completing her mission.

As husband and wife, if it's time to part ways, we should at least say a proper goodbye.

Therefore, when she received Jiang Wenjuan's call, she readily agreed to accompany the military.

After all, without her, Lu Cheng's promotion to regimental leader would have been a foregone conclusion. At least before leaving, she had to help Lu Cheng get his life back on track.

……

The lantern festival was very lively, and Jiang Moli pushed Zhu Huanghua into the crowd.

Zhu Huanghua lived up to expectations, telling everyone she met about her granddaughter-in-law's various misdeeds, earning her nearly a hundred points of disdain.

With the Lantern Festival over, the Spring Festival is officially over.

The next day, Jiang Moli returned to work at the performing arts troupe.

When we got off at the cultural troupe's stop, we ran into Qian Ling and Wen Jingrui, who were coming out of a breakfast shop.

"Jasmine, you've finally come to work! I was just talking to Jingrui about it. You're not planning to skip it, are you?"

Qian Ling happily linked arms with Jiang Moli, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Jiang Moli glanced at Wen Jingrui, who was riding away on his bicycle, and said sarcastically, "Your Dr. Wen even took you to work. How thoughtful of him."

Qian Ling's face showed a sweet smile, "No, it's not that. He's been working the night shift lately, and I go to get off work after he gets off work, so we don't have much time to see each other. We can only have breakfast together."

Jiang Moli nodded, "That's great, you can balance work and love."

Qian Ling chuckled twice and then enthusiastically recounted Wen Jingrui's visit to the Qian family on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Mr. and Mrs. Qian were very satisfied with Wen Jingrui and planned to get married to the two of them in a while, since Qian Ling and Wen Jingrui were not young anymore.

Jiang Moli asked Qian Ling, "What are your own thoughts? Do you want to get married?"

Qian Ling nodded shyly, "Yes. Jasmine, Jingrui is really good to me, and he's good to me too. If I miss out on him, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

Jiang Moli said with relief, "That's good. Marriage determines your future life and is your only chance to choose your family. It should be your decision. If you want to get married, then get married."

Qian Ling nodded happily, then said, "Jasmine, Jingrui and I have discussed it and we'd like you to be our witness at the wedding. Would you be willing?"

"Has the wedding date been set?"

"May, but we need to discuss the exact date later."

Jiang Moli clicked her tongue lightly, "May? Then I probably won't be able to attend. But don't worry, I'll give you a big red envelope in advance. Or if you have any wedding gifts you want, just tell me, I might not be able to afford them."

Qian Ling asked in confusion, "Why? Are you busy in May?"

"I'm going to join the army, so we might not see each other for a long time." Jiang Moli said with a smile, but Qian Ling looked like a puppy, her eyes full of reluctance and sadness.

When are you going?

Jiang Moli thought for a moment, "Next month then."

"So soon? Will you be back for my wedding?"

After asking the question, Qian Ling quickly tapped her head. "I must have been out of my mind. Meng Hai is so far away. It's such a hassle and expensive to go back and forth. Jasmine, it's okay. Even though we can't see each other often in the future, we can write letters. I'll send you some wedding candy then."

Jiang Moli smiled and agreed.

The cost of transportation and distance are not a problem. If she were still alive, she would definitely come back to attend Qian Ling's wedding.

I'm afraid that by then, she would have already returned to her original world.

"Lingling, you and Dr. Wen must be happy together."

Jiang Moli gently put her arm around her friend's shoulder and offered her her most sincere blessings.

Qian Ling nodded seriously, "Okay, you too, may you and Battalion Commander Lu live happily ever after."

……

knock knock.

Yang Liqiong looked up and saw Jiang Moli at the office door, a look of surprise and joy flashing in her eyes.

"Come in."

Jiang Moli entered with a smile, "Would I be okay with bothering you?"

Yang Liqiong gestured for her to close the door and got up to pour her some water.

"Oh, by the way, I have some coffee here, would you like some?"

"Okay, let's try it and see what the coffee that Deputy Regiment Commander Yang brews tastes like."

Jiang Moli rested her chin on her hand, looking like a child waiting for candy, exuding an inexplicable cuteness.

Yang Liqiong smiled faintly as she brewed coffee following Chen Lan's instructions, asking with concern, "Have all the arrangements for the old man's funeral been made?"

Jiang Moli told Yang Liqiong about the division of the family property and how the brothers would support Zhu Huanghua.

After he finished speaking, the coffee was brewed, and the whole office was filled with the unique aroma of coffee.

Yang Liqiong placed the coffee in front of her, saying, "Try it."

Jiang Moli didn't rush to drink her coffee, but instead carefully examined the coffee cup. "The cup is quite pretty."

The cup is shaped like a funnel, with a thin-walled construction. The body and saucer are covered in full-color handmade enamel, making it look like a work of art.

Yang Liqiong looked at her with a hint of doting in her eyes, "If you like it, just take one home. There happens to be an extra one."

Jiang Moli blinked. "Then do you know why there are two sets of coffee cups?"

Yang Liqiong raised an eyebrow, "Good things come in pairs?"

Jiang Moli shook her head and asked Yang Liqiong to bring out another set of cups.

Jiang Moli poured half of her coffee into another cup, handed it to Yang Liqiong, and said:
"Coffee is more fun when shared with someone."

Yang Liqiong chuckled, "Okay, then leave it here. Come over anytime you want to drink it."

"Okay."

Jiang Moli took a sip of coffee, smacked her lips, and said, "It seems a little too sweet."

"Is it sweet? I only used one packet of sugar."

Yang Liqiong tasted it herself and frowned slightly.

She didn't like the bitterness of coffee, but she bought it and brought it from the capital because she thought Jiang Moli might like it.

She looked up and met Jiang Moli's smiling, shimmering almond-shaped eyes.

"It's sweet because you made it."

Yang Liqiong chuckled and swirled her glass. "That probably isn't as sweet-talking as you."

While drinking coffee, Jiang Moli told Yang Liqiong about her resignation.
