When they arrived at the courtyard house and the celestial bridal chamber, they discovered it was a

Zhou Zheng'an came out of the courtyard, looked at Section Chief Wang and Liu Qianqian, and said with a slight smile, "You two comrades performed well today and deserve praise."

His voice carried a distinct hint of mockery.

These words made Section Chief Wang and Liu Qianqian feel very annoyed.

Section Chief Wang frowned, thinking to himself, "You're already a deputy director, why are you arguing with a widow like Jia Zhangshi? Really." So he remained silent and simply nodded slightly.

Zhou Zheng'an didn't care. He shrugged and went back to the hotel where he had stayed before.

He went into the room, threw the key on the table, started washing up, then collapsed onto the bed, closed his eyes, and the events that had happened in the courtyard that day flashed through his mind.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. He thought to himself that the Jia and Zhang families were probably plotting against him again, but little did they know that his dealing with them was only just beginning.

Then let's ride a donkey and read the script, and see how it goes. There's a Zhou Zheng'an in the courtyard... the one who can distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianqian returned home feeling very unhappy.

She threw her bag on the sofa and sat down angrily.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Liu's mother asked with concern, "Qianqian, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

Liu Qianqian said angrily, "Mom, that Deputy Director Zhou from our unit was so mean today. He's not like a member of the Communist Party at all. He deliberately bullied Jia Zhangshi and the others in the courtyard today, and he said such nasty things."

Her face turned red, and she was filled with anger.

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother also felt that Zhou Zheng'an was no good, so she said, "Alright, I'll call your aunt and ask her to deal with this Deputy Director Zhou."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, as if teaching Zhou Zheng'an a lesson was a piece of cake.

Liu Qianqian immediately smiled, hugged her mother's arm, and said coquettishly, "I knew my mom was the best to me."

Then she added, "I wonder if my uncle would also dislike this kind of person."

Liu's mother immediately said, "Your uncle hates people like that Deputy Director Zhou the most. He's the most fair and selfless, otherwise you wouldn't be working as a lowly clerk in the police department."

Poor Liu's mother didn't know that her precious daughter hadn't mentioned that Zhou Zheng'an had received three special merit awards before, otherwise she might not have said that.

Liu Qianqian did this so that her aunt would get involved first, and if a conflict arose, there would be no turning back, and then Zhou Zheng'an could be kicked out.

She was plotting her own scheme, a sly smile playing on her lips.

Just then, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Liu Qianqian got up to open the door, and when she stepped out, she was immediately pleasantly surprised and exclaimed, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

It's true what they say, speak of Cao Cao and he appears.

Liu Qianqian's aunt is named Zhong Jianhong, and her mother is named Zhong Jianqing. They are sisters.

Zhong Jianhong was wearing a simple brown outfit, her hair neatly pinned up at the back of her head, and she looked beautiful even without makeup.

This family is full of good-looking people.

When she saw Liu Qianqian, she couldn't help but say, "Qianqian, you've grown even more beautiful in just a few days!"

Liu Qianqian immediately laughed and said, "Auntie, you're even prettier. We look like sisters standing together."

As she spoke, she took her aunt's hand and pulled her into the house.

She was immediately scolded by Liu's mother, who frowned and said, "Qianqian, how can you talk to your aunt like that?"

Zhong Jianhong immediately said, "Sister, Qianqian is right. When we stand together, people really think we're sisters."

Her smile grew even brighter, and her eyes revealed her affection for Liu Qianqian.

Zhong Jianqing was speechless. She shook her head helplessly and said, "You two really have no manners."

Then they asked Zhong Jianhong what he was there for.

This is someone who knows her sister better than anyone else; Zhong Jianhong would never visit without a reason.

Zhong Jianqing didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point, asking Xixi if she didn't have a boyfriend yet.

Liu Qianqian shook her head, and her mother said that her daughter had high standards and couldn't find anyone she liked, which annoyed her to no end.

As she spoke, she started complaining, "Sissi, it's not good for a girl to have such high standards. When looking for a partner, you can't just look at appearances. You can't eat that stuff."

So Liu Qianqian is a looks-oriented person after all.

At this point, Zhong Jianqing said he was going to arrange a marriage for Liu Qianqian. Liu Qianqian didn't mind, knowing that her aunt was now the wife of a high-ranking official and that most of the men she knew were promising young men.

They generally come from good families, but their looks are often quite average.

Zhong Jianhong was quite interested, after all, Liu Qianqian was not young anymore, she was already twenty.

At her age, she would have already given birth to her daughter, Liu Qianqian.

Zhong Jianqing patted Liu Qianqian's hand and said, "This one is different. He's one of my aunt's husband's comrades-in-arms. He's a combat hero who just participated in the fight against the US. And he's very handsome."

Liu Qianqian didn't know why, but she felt something was off, since her mother and aunt both said it was okay, so she nodded and said, "Alright, let's meet."

Then Zhong Jianhong asked his younger sister Zhong Jianqing, "What is this young man's name?"

Zhong Jianqing immediately said, "This young man is called Zhou Zheng'an, and Aunt Xixi's husband likes him very much."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Qianqian immediately shouted, "Auntie, what did you say? This person's name is Zhou Zheng'an, isn't he the deputy director of our police station now?"

Her eyes widened, her face filled with surprise.

Zhong Jianqing wasn't quite sure, saying, "I've forgotten the specific position or anything; your aunt's husband didn't mention it."

This immediately made Liu Qianqian laugh in anger. She stood up and said angrily, "I disagree! I disagree! He's the one who took me to the courtyard house today. He's a bad person."

Her hands were on her hips, and her anger was clearly visible on her face.

Zhong Jianqing was puzzled and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Liu Qianqian then told him about Zhou Zheng'an taking her to the courtyard house today.

Zhong Jianqing was stunned. She frowned and said, "Impossible, Qianqian. Your uncle said that this Zhou Zheng'an is a war hero who has won several special merit awards and is a trusted and beloved general of Uncle Song Zhengyang."

A hint of doubt flickered in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what Liu Qianqian was saying.

Liu Qianqian finally realized that the person her aunt had introduced her to was Zhou Zheng'an, and naturally she firmly disagreed. She even started complaining to Zhong Jianqing: "Auntie, you don't know, he was in the courtyard today..."

After losing a pair in quick succession, her voice grew louder and her emotions became more and more agitated. She then said, "I don't want to meet someone like Zhou Zheng'an, and I don't want to go on a blind date with him."

Zhong Jianhong frowned upon hearing this and said, "Qianqian, perhaps things aren't as you think. There must be a reason why your uncle values ​​him so much. Maybe there's some misunderstanding. Let's find out more before making any decisions."

Her tone was calm, attempting to soothe Liu Qianqian's emotions.

Liu Qianqian, however, persisted, stomping her feet and saying, "Auntie, I don't care, I just don't agree. I don't want to see him, and I don't want to have anything to do with him."

Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing her daughter like this, Zhong Jianhong felt a pang of heartache. She patted Liu Qianqian's shoulder and said, "Qianqian, don't be angry. If you don't want to see her, then don't. We'll talk about it when you've thought it through."

That's even more interesting.

So Liu Qianqian lost her temper again. (Three chapters for the holiday, I've worked so hard! Please, everyone, give me some free support!)
