In the main hall of the Li Residence, Uncle Zhong looked at the two sisters bickering and smiled kindly. He looked at the time and estimated that the young master should be back soon!
As expected, before he could even wait for a while, a series of steady and powerful footsteps approached from afar.
Soon, a slender, handsome, and spirited figure in a major general's uniform appeared on the steps outside the hall. It was Li Yan, who had just returned home.
"He is my fiancé, Li Yan. He has changed so much. He doesn't look like he did when he was young at all!”Su Jingyao sat on the yellow flower chair, blinking her beautiful eyes as she quietly observed Li Yan.
In just a moment, Su Jingyao's heart raced and her face turned red. She admitted that she was really moved.
Although she had heard many rumors about Li Yan and had met him several times when they were young, this was the first time Su Jingyao had seen Li Yan in his adulthood!
It could be said that under the military uniform, Li Yan's temperament was even more outstanding. Any unmarried woman who saw Li Yan would have their heart beat faster because in such a chaotic world, it seemed that only such a man had a sense of security!
At this time, Su Meiyi, who was sitting next to Su Jingyao, stood up. She ran briskly to Li Yan, her beautiful little face flushed.
Su Mei raised her head and clenched her hands together. She was obviously nervous. She smiled at Li Yan and said,"Hello, Brother-in-law. I'm Su Meiyi. Do you still remember me?”
"So it's Meiyi, you've grown so big.”Li Yan smiled gently and pretended to be surprised.
He only had a little impression of Su Meiyi. He only knew that Su Meiyi was the daughter of Su Jingyao's second uncle. Other than that, he had no other information.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to still remember me!”Su Meiyi smiled sweetly, obviously very happy.
One had to know that in the entire Xiang region, Li Yan had already become the hero of the Japanese resistance. He was also a young and promising major general. His future was limitless, and he had thousands of soldiers under him.
With such a person becoming her brother-in-law, Su Meiyi felt that she could do whatever she wanted in the entire Xiang City. As long as she announced her brother-in-law's name, no one would dare to not give her face!
Looking at Su Meiyi's sweet smile, Li Yan praised,"A woman changes eighteen times when she grows up. Not only have she grown taller, but she has also become beautiful!”
Hearing this, Su Meiyi's fair face turned as red as an apple. She said happily,""Brother-in-law, I'm really beautiful!"
Suddenly, Uncle Zhong coughed twice and interrupted their conversation. He raised his hand and looked at Su Jingyao."Young Master, this is the eldest daughter of the Smiths!”
Hearing this, Li Yan turned to Su Jingyao with a smile and introduced himself,""Hello, Ms. Smith. I'm Li Yan!”
"You…Hi, I'm Su Jingyao!”Su Jingyao replied softly. Her face was red and her beautiful eyes were a little evasive. She didn't dare to look at Li Yan. Even her beautiful hands were clenched into small fists.
Obviously, Su Jingyao couldn't keep calm in front of such a fiancé. She was very nervous and her heart was beating fast.
On the other side, Li Yan didn't continue to speak, but looked at Su Jingyao.
Looking at his fiancée, Li Yan finally understood the meaning of the words " daughter of a noble family."
Su Jingyao had left a good impression on Li Yan in terms of appearance, figure, temperament, self-restraint, and speech.
It could be said that a lady from a wealthy family during the Republic of China period was simply impossible to exist in the 21st century. Independent women in the new era would not have these characteristics at the same time!
"Young Master, you guys chat first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look!”Uncle Zhong found an excuse and left this place!
After Uncle Zhong left, the atmosphere became silent. Not only did Li Yan and Su Jingyao not speak, but even the young Su Meiyi also quieted down.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
Footsteps sounded. Li Yan's personal maid, Xiao Yu, walked over with three cups of fragrant tea. She placed the teacups on the coffee table in front of the three of them and said,"Young Master, Eldest Miss, Second Miss, please have some tea!”
"Thank you!" Su Jingyao replied politely with a smile.
"Young Master, I'll go down first. Call me if there's anything!”Xiao Yu winked at Li Yan and left.
Li Yan picked up the teacup, blew at the steam, and took another sip. Then he turned to Su Jingyao and said with a smile,"Miss Su, the 600,000 catties of grain and 150,000 yuan sent by Uncle Su have really solved my urgent need. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 108th Division, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Uncle Su!”
" Li..." Su Jingyao opened her mouth, not knowing how to address Li Yan.
Calling him Teacher Li was too formal and inappropriate, and calling him Li Yan was too distant.
Su Jingyao quickly took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She secretly meowed at Li Yan, then quickly looked away and said gently,""China is in the midst of a national crisis. As the children of the Chinese, everyone should be united against the enemy. These 600,000 catties of food and 150,000 yuan are my father's token of appreciation for the 108th Division's resistance against Japan!”
"Uncle is indeed a righteous person. When I see Uncle in the future, I will definitely thank him!”Li Yan smiled and praised.
He naturally knew why Su Han would send so much grain and money to him. The most important reason was naturally because he was the future son-in-law of the Su family.
"Young Master Li, Meiyi and I have come to Nanzhang. Will we disturb you?”Su Jingyao stared at Li Yan, waiting for his answer.
She was Li Yan's unmarried fiancée, but their marriage was decided by the previous generation, and Li Yan's father was no longer around.
Now, Li Yan was in charge of the Li family, so he could decide on his own marriage. If Li Yan didn't want to, Su Jingyao wouldn't stay in the Li family.
Li Yan naturally understood what Su Jingyao meant. He looked at his fiancée, who had a good impression of him, and said with a smile,"Ms. Smith, you're my fiancée. Although my father is no longer around, I'll still fulfill my promise!”
Hearing this answer, Su Jingyao's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her heart beat faster. Her perfect face revealed an elegant smile.
Su Meiyi was sitting on the chair next to them. Her eyes kept moving back and forth between Li Yan and Su Jingyao. Seeing that she was being used as a third wheel, she was unhappy. She looked at Li Yan and said coquettishly,"Brother-in-law, I haven't been to Nanzhang County yet. Why don't you take me out for a walk?”
As the second daughter of the Su family, Su Meiyi had always been doted on by her elders, so she was a little willful.
She felt that her brother-in-law was a major general and a great hero of the anti-Japanese war. If her brother-in-law accompanied her out for a walk, he would definitely ride a tall horse and be escorted by soldiers with guns along the way. Such a scene was too exciting!
"Meiyi, don't mess around. This isn't home. Young Master Li is busy with work. How could he have the time to take you out for a stroll?”Su Jingyao glared at Su Meiyi, telling her not to be unreasonable.
" Brother-in-law hasn't said anything yet..." Su Meiyi rolled her eyes at Su Jingyao, then blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Yan expectantly.
" This..." Li Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly,""I might not be able to do it today. When I'm free, I'll definitely bring you around Nanzhang County!”
Hearing that, Su Meiyi's face instantly turned sour. She could only give up!
