Chapter 421 - Back to the Wan Family (1/2)

Chen Chen was terrified by the voice while Jiang Rui kept holding her hands. Noticing this, he held her in his arms and asked, “Are you afraid?”

“Not at all.”

“So what did you tremble for…” Holding back his laughter, he turned to greet the guests. “I thought you were dismissed and he took your place.”

Liu Yizhou’s face turned to one of horror. “Captain, I…”

“Shut up!” A sloppy uncle with whiskers gave him a stare. “Who let you arrest people?”

“The Lu family came to me in the morning and I deemed it emergent since it was a life-and-death matter. So I just wanted…”

Faced with Jiang Rui’s sneer by the side, Gu Haibo felt embarrassed, so he got mad. “So you wanted what? You wanted what? Do you have any idea who he is? What does the Lu family mean? Do you have brain damage?”

Being scolded by him, words escaped Liu Yizhou’s tongue. “Captain, you can’t cover for him just because of his military exploits!”

“Bullshit.” Gu Haibo pointed at him and continued, “Get lost… I don’t want to see you. I have to warn you that I have the final say as long as I’m not dead. You’d better hide your petty tricks and jealousy or you’ll have to go back to being a new recruit!”

Liu Yizhou’s face turned red and white after being rebuked by Liu Yizhou, so he sent a stare at Jiang Rui and went away.

“Haha, since you’ve come, stay and have dinner with me. Let’s go.” Gu Haibo patted Jiang Rui on the shoulder and made a face at Chen Chen. “Is this the sister? You didn’t inform me about your wedding. I’ll make up for the wedding gift later!”

Chen Chen wanted to say that they didn’t get married, but Jiang Rui stopped her. “Let’s go. We’re so weary after this morning. You must be hungry.”

During lunch, Xiao Si arrived.

“Liuliu, you can go back home first. I have something to talk about with Captain Gu.”

Seeing Chen Chen looking at him in doubt, Gu Haibo was amused. “Sister seems to hate to leave you! Don’t worry. I’ll send him back later.”

“I’ll be fine! Honey, you go back first.” Seeing her flushed, Jiang Rui’s voice became softer. “I’m a friend of Captain Gu, he won’t lock me up.”

“If you don’t return home in the evening, I’ll come for you.” Chen Chen was worried that Jiang Rui would admit to the crime for her.

Jiang Rui nodded and walk her to the car in person.

Chen Chen picked up Tuan Zi from school on the way, but Wen Zeyu was disappointed by her appearance.

“Aunt, when will Tuan Zi move into my house?”

“You can come to our home and play with Tuan Zi.” Chen Chen felt sorry because they had bothered the Wen family some time ago. However, the little boy looked at her with his twinkling eyes and asked, “Can I come today?”

Chen Chen went silent for a while, but said at once, “That’s fine, but is it okay if you don’t go home?”

The driver who would pick up Wen Zeyu said considerately, “Then thank you for the trouble, Mrs. Jiang. I’ll pick up the young master later.”

“All right!” Chen Chen felt cool about it. “Get in the car. We’ll eat something first!”

When Xiao Si heard the driver call Chen Chen “Mrs. Jiang”, he was shocked. While he was driving, his eyes kept rolling.

“I say… Sister!” he suddenly said.

Chen Chen looked at him and asked, “What did you call me?”

Xiao Si said without any worry, “Now the public knows that you and my boss are a couple, so those people don’t dare to hurt you. But all in all, you didn’t hold a wedding ceremony. So we’ll call you ‘sister’ so we don’t arouse suspicions. In this way, people will call you ‘Mrs. Jiang’.”

“This… Isn’t this bad?” Chen Chen thought it too weird.

“Mom, what’s wrong with this?” Tuan Zi backed up Xiao Si and said, “They all already know that I’m daddy’s daughter, plus we live together. People might have long been thinking that you are a couple.”

Seeing Chen Chen hadn’t made up her mind yet, she decided to scare her. “Besides, now it has been said. If you don’t admit it, my dad will be punished.”

“Punished?” Chen Chen asked in shock, “Why?”

Xiao Si gave Tuan Zi a thumbs-up and said, “Sister, a military marriage should be treated seriously. He did this to save you, or he wouldn’t have dared to take the risk.”

Chen Chen nodded since it was clear that a military marriage was serious business. Given that Jiang Rui did this regardless of the punishment, she should cooperate with him.

“Fine! I see.” She clenched her fist and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t blow it.”

Tuan Zi and Xiao Si exchanged a look to celebrate their success.

However, Wen Zeyu questioned it in his mind. “Didn’t Uncle Jiang and Aunt Chen get married long ago?”

Chen Chen took the kids for hotpot so Xiao Si left after dropping them off, saying that Jiang Rui would arrive soon.

“Shall we wait for your daddy?” Chen Chen reckoned it improper to eat and drink while Jiang Rui was taking care of her issues.

The kids agreed to it and did their homework by the side.

Jiang Rui arrived after half an hour. When he stepped into the room and saw that they hadn’t started yet, he asked with a frown, “Why didn’t you start?”

“We wanted you to join us!” Chen Chen swallowed the tofu in her mouth sneakily.

“Hah, let’s eat!” Jiang Rui pretended to not see it and asked the waiter to turn on the fire.

Chen Chen was wondering how her issue was proceeding but Jiang Rui kept picking the food for her. “Eat first, we can talk about it when we get home!”

“Well!” Chen Chen curled her lips and said, “I want some meat.”

“OK!”
