1970s: My childhood sweetheart ran away, and I turned around and married the wildest chief.

Qiao Yuanhe was somewhat unwilling to marry his younger sister to Lu Mingzhou, as Lu Mingzhou's family was too poor and he himself had not received much education.

He joined the army in his teens and spent several years on the battlefield.

That kid is really lucky. In such a dangerous place as the battlefield, most people would be lucky to survive for a few months or even half a year. But he stayed there for several years and was still alive and kicking. His position rose rapidly, making people envious!

But what can you do? No matter how envious you are, you can only suppress it. He earned his military merits through real battles on the battlefield and was promoted normally in peacetime. It's simply impossible for someone like him.

Qiao Yuanhe truly admired Lu Mingzhou, but he never considered marrying his sister to him, fearing that the two wouldn't get along.

His younger sister received a proper upbringing from a young age, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and speaking several languages. She was a little genius, while Lu Mingzhou was a rough man who hadn't read much books!

Can someone like that live with his sister?

But with no better option at the moment, Qiao Yuanhe had no choice but to silently help his sister tidy up the house.

After cleaning the house, Qiao Wanqing went back to her room to sleep.

Her name is Qiao Wanqing. She was born into a prestigious family and was reincarnated into the womb, enjoying a life of wealth and privilege for half her life.

My father was a weapons expert, and my mother came from a prominent family. My grandfather and eldest uncle lived in Beijing. My grandfather was a physicist and also engaged in scientific research.

Born into a scholarly family and also a descendant of a top capitalist, he has an almost perfect advantage in this day and age.

However, the family wanted to make a name for themselves, and there were still relatives in China. The parents worried that if they didn't return, their relatives in China would suffer, so they insisted on returning.

Originally, their family was highly regarded, and their research over the past two years had yielded significant results. The messy things happening outside had not affected the Qiao family.

This era may seem terrifying, but in reality, important scientific research projects never stopped, especially in the field of national defense and military industry, which was of paramount importance. The Qiao family made significant contributions in this area and was always well taken care of by the state.

Despite all the precautions, things didn't go as planned, and she was the one who ended up making things worse.

Bai Zhengxiong, the head of the Beichuan City Revolutionary Committee, has taken a liking to her. She is an old man in his forties with a promiscuous private life and children who are older than her.

When Bai Zhengxiong came to propose marriage, her parents were almost furious. How could such trash dare to covet their daughter? It was an utter disgrace. How could they possibly agree?

And so, bad luck struck!

Although this era will end in a few months, Qiao Wanqing is still worried because she cannot be defined.

Once someone is labeled a bad element, the impact will persist even after the era ends, and it wasn't until the mid-to-late 1990s that the impact was completely eliminated.

If the Qiao family is allowed to remain as they are, even if they are later exonerated, it will be difficult for her to marry a powerful man, because marrying her would affect her career advancement.

Therefore, running away is not the solution. Bai Zhengxiong still holds her parents in his hands, so she must add new bargaining chips.

Qiao Wanqing couldn't sleep, so she got up and checked the house again to see if there was anything she had missed. Bai Wei had actually been making things difficult for her for a long time. She sensed that something was going to happen, so she hid some things in the house that might be used against her in a place that no one but her knew about.

Every time someone transmigrates, they're guaranteed to have a cheat code, especially since she was reborn as a baby. Besides, she already had a spatial ability in her previous life.

……

At this moment, Chen Jin sat on the sofa in the living room of the Chen family home, his eyes lowered and his face cold.

Chen's parents were advising him to give up on Qiao Wanqing.

Fearing that his son might ruin his future in a moment of impulsiveness, Chen's father assured him, "Ah Jin, based on my understanding of Qiao's parents, they would never send their precious daughter to be abused by a beast like Bai Zhengxiong. At most, Wanwan will go to the countryside as an educated youth to avoid trouble."

"The Qiao family still has the old man and her uncle in Kyoto. It's only a matter of time before the whole family is exonerated. Just wait patiently for a few years until Wanwan comes back from the countryside, then you can get married."

Chen Jin frowned, somewhat hesitant. His father immediately said, "A real man should consider the big picture when he does things, and not act recklessly. You are currently in your prime, and acting impulsively at this time will only ruin your future."

Chen's mother chimed in, "Yes, Xiaojin, your future is the most important thing. Before, their family was so arrogant, observing you back and forth, and delaying the engagement. Wasn't that because they weren't satisfied with you?"

"That's good, she'll have to go to the countryside now. Wanwan is just too proud. It'll be good for her to temper her temper in the countryside. After she's been there for a few years, she'll realize how good life in the city is. When you go to find her then, she'll definitely be eager to marry you!"

When Chen's mother said this, she couldn't hide her smugness. The Qiao family was a prestigious family, and now that they had fallen on hard times, it was a relief for her to have been trying to curry favor with the Qiao family!

Chen Jin's heart stirred, but she did not refute her mother's words.

Chen's mother said with a mixture of jealousy and disdain, "The Qiao family prides itself on being a scholarly family, and they're all so arrogant, constantly finding fault with you. Don't they know what era we live in? Do they still think they're back in the days of big capitalists?"

"Ah Jin, you just need to stay at home and behave yourself. Right now, it's their family begging us, not us begging her. If you don't believe me, just try it. Qiao Wanqing, who used to ignore you, will soon have to beg you to marry her."

Chen Jin truly liked the stunningly beautiful and radiant girl, but Qiao Wanqing's family background was too good and her personality was not harmonious, which made Chen Jin somewhat dislike her.

For the past two years, the Qiao family has been trying to find a husband for Qiao Wanqing. The two families already have a good relationship, so marriage is a natural thing to do. However, the Qiao family has been slow to agree, and Qiao Wanqing has only been polite and reasonable to him, never warm.

Chen Jin has the protection of his family and is also outstanding. He is always fawned over wherever he goes, so Qiao Wanqing's attitude naturally makes him unhappy.

Now that the Qiao family is in trouble, he even feels a little secretly pleased. Is that proud girl going to come and beg him for help this time?

only……

Considering the Qiao family's background, Chen Jin hesitated again. He worried that if he didn't lend a helping hand now, he would become estranged from the Qiao family.

The Qiao and Xu families were once well-known capitalists with considerable wealth. Even if they didn't bring anything back with them when they returned to China, he believed that the two families must have some hidden agenda.

He even suspected that the Qiao and Xu families might have some connection with the higher-ups, since both families had been well taken care of by the country in recent years. The old man from the Xu family went abroad and returned to China; perhaps he went abroad on some mission?

The old man from the Xu family was a master strategist back then, quite terrifying!

Qiao Wanqing was very pampered at home, and if she were to marry, her dowry would certainly be very generous. Chen Jin cared a lot about these things because the Chen family was no longer wealthy.

"Would she really come begging to me?"
