Opening his eyes, a shimmer of light was in them. Wang Zheng smiled at the ambiguous taste it brought—whether bitter or relieved, one couldn't tell.
In summary, this smile was complex. At least little Han Xingye could not understand Wang Zheng's smile, but she didn't need to. Right now, the young woman only felt that his appearance was charming, very charming indeed.
Charming enough for Han Xingye to feel heartache,心疼這個在地上流淚還帶著苦澀笑容的男人，還有那條渾身傷痕累累的老狗。
All of them, including the elderly General Han Baoguo, stared blankly at this scene with surprise on their faces.
Of course, the first to react was Grandpa Han. He looked at the almost crazed Xiao Long with a smile of relief: "It seems that the true owner has appeared."
When saying these words, there was even a hint of jealousy in Grandpa Han's heart.
Han Tuoshu and Su Beijiang were also watching this scene, no one stepping forward to interrupt the intimate moment between the man and the dog. Even Han Xingye had tears on her face; she took out tissues from her bag intending to wipe Wang Zheng's tears but withdrew halfway with a soft heart.
Because she simply couldn't bear to interrupt this scene.
In that moment, it felt as if Han Xingye had grown up. She vaguely understood some things which were still unclear to her.
The usual nonchalant expression vanished all at once; instead, Han Xingye looked serious and determined. As she wiped away the tears on her face, more kept coming, no matter how hard she tried to wipe them clean.
"What is going on" Zhang Yanqing wasn't prone to sentimentalism. Having grown up in a military family without serving herself, she could never understand Wang Zheng's feelings towards Xiao Long or the significance of this scene.
Zhang Yanqing asked but nobody answered her.
Su Tianming sighed and slowly extended his right hand, giving a salute to the man and dog on the ground, offering the second military salute to China today.
Su Beijiang and Su Tianming left, and this Deputy Minister of National Defense could tell that Han Jia's girl was looking for someone to put on an act. Forced relationships don't work out well; emotions still need time to develop. He didn't hold any grudges about the commotion, but as a military man, he was also deeply moved by the scene of one person and one dog being reunited, as if it had stirred up some long-buried memories deep in his heart.
Wang Zheng deliberately let Xiao Long knock him down just now. As soon as Xiao Long rushed towards him, Wang Zheng recognized this comrade and partner who had been with him for so many years. However, when Xiao Long pounced on him, carrying over a hundred pounds of weight, anyone else would have been knocked far away. Wang Zheng didn't want to expose his strength in front of Han Duosu and the Su family, so he pretended to stagger before falling to the ground.
"Have you served in an elite military unit" The old man asked with great interest.
"I suppose that counts. I am a professional dog trainer," Xiao Long was still lying on Wang Zheng's chest and kept rubbing against him affectionately, not stopping for an entire hour, clearly excited by their reunion today.
"Uncle, Aunt, Xiaoye, it's time for me to go." Wang Zheng stood up and said with a smile.
Xiao Long seemed to sense that Wang Zheng was about to leave; he got up and tapped Wang Zheng's hand with his paw as if wanting to depart alongside him.
Wang Zheng smiled slightly, petting Xiao Long’s head. Yet Han Xinye read sadness in Wang Zheng's smile, tears unbidden welling up again.
"Stay here; I'll come back to see you," Wang Zheng bent down so that his face was close to Xiao Long’s and whispered to him.
At this moment, Wang Zheng's smile looked both warm and poignant.
There was one more thing Wang Zheng didn't say out loud: "When I finish everything, I'll come for you. Xiao Long, how much I wish that you could still be alive when that day comes."
Xiao Long was almost thirteen years old; at this age, it would be considered quite elderly for a dog, and whether or not he would survive until Wang Zheng overthrew the Su family was an unlikely unknown.
We must all live well.
Xiao Long understood what Wang Zheng meant and lowered his head with a sorrowful growl, then looked at Wang Zheng's retreating figure with reluctance before leaving slowly.
Wang Zheng wiped away tears forcefully without turning back, afraid of seeing them.
Han Xinye had long been crying her eyes out; Wang Zheng’s departing figure was blurry in her sight but clear in her heart, very clear indeed.
After the tears on her face had completely dried, Han Xingye stored the touching scene of herself and the dog in her heart, slowly sealing it away. Then she walked over to Han Tuosu and her beautiful big eyes started to gradually fill with moving charm.
"Old Han, I want to join the military," Han Xingye looked very determined at this moment.
Han Tuosu was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Have you made up your mind Not just to escape from the wedding"
Han Xingye shook her head. "I’ve made my decision, Old Han, I want you to promise me."
It was rare for Han Tuosu to show a gentle smile; he ruffled Han Xingye’s hair hard and said, "Since you've decided, then go ahead. No one is asking you to shoulder the burden of the Han family, so don’t feel any pressure."
Han Tuosu was the only son of Han Baoguo, while Han Xingye was his only daughter. For two generations in a row, they were generals of China, but in the third generation, they had a girl instead, which disappointed many people who looked forward to the continuation of the Han family’s military lineage.
But Old Man Han and Han Baoguo didn’t see it that way. They raised Han Xingye as their most precious treasure, and only this time did they become more open-minded, allowing her to live carefree for twenty years.
Jumping around happily for twenty years, but the days ahead require slowing down and growing up step by step.
Shangguan Shishi was like that, as was Sheng Fei. Zhang Mingqi and Liu Xuan were no exception; people always grow up suddenly without realizing it.
Han Xingye nodded forcefully.
"Join the Ningxia Military Region to train yourself first before going to National Defense University. I won’t tell anyone that you’re a child of the old Han family, but," Han Tuosu wiped away the tears that flowed from Han Xingye again with his rough hand, and continued, "My daughter can’t disgrace the old Han family."
"Go to hell, Old Han." Han Xingye stopped crying and laughed. "Just wait for me to make you proud."
Zhang Yanqing wanted to interject but didn’t know where to begin; her sudden decision left her at a loss, so she could only hide in a corner wiping away tears continuously. Without the facade of pretentiousness and vanity, Zhang Yanqing was just an ordinary Chinese mother.
"Mom."
Han Xingye called softly, then didn’t say anything else as she walked over to Zhang Yanqing and hugged her tightly.
After this long embrace, during an even longer period of time, Miss Han Xinye from the prestigious Han family carried scenes sealed in her heart and disappeared from people's sight with a determined back.
(Sowing a seed, leaving for a better reunion.)
...
"I miss Han Xinye very much. I heard that this little girl went to the Ningxia Military Region, and I wonder how she's doing now. She has always been pampered since childhood, so can she endure such hardship I really don't know what's going on in her head. She didn't even come to say goodbye."
Shangguan Shishi sat on the sofa with a cushion in her arms, and before her eyes was that girl who had grown up alongside her since childhood. Although she is very busy now, she feels rather lonely inside.
Even though there's Cheng Fei to accompany her, without the usual banter and mischief from the Han family brat, Shishi really finds it hard to adjust.
Time flies by swiftly; another month has passed.
This past month, Shangguan Zhengren’s condition remained unchanged. Shangguan Shishi had secretly invited many experts both domestically and internationally, but none of them could help her father's situation. Now, Zhengren lies in his family's rehabilitation center, only sustained by nutrition intravenously. This once lean family patriarch looks more emaciated than ever with high cheekbones protruding prominently; even Wang Cheng finds it hard to bear the sight.
Wang Cheng even suspects that Shangguan Zhengren might have been infected by a Miao tribe's蠱poison, but after consulting several experts on蠱, none could provide an explanation, which makes Wang Cheng feel rather uneasy.
However, the current Wang Cheng has no solution. With his present knowledge and expertise, he can't find a remedy or even identify the problem; perhaps Old Man would have a way out, but no one knows where this elusive old fellow is hiding now.
The actions of Wang Xianming in Philadelphia were swift. The diamonds mined by the Wang family in South Africa had already flooded the Chinese market. This low-keyed conglomerate that remained unknown to most people finally came into public view after a call from Wang Cheng, boldly advancing into the Chinese market.
Within just half a month, people found that across all national print media and major city 3D advertisement boards, a diamond brand originating from South Africa—"Phantom Spirit" crystal diamonds—was being heavily promoted!
Xianming was eager to repay his debt, and under his continuous supervision, the Wang family's actions were astonishingly swift. Coupled with Zhang Mingqi’s in-depth knowledge of the Chinese market, Phantom Spirit Crystal Diamonds made a high-profile debut, greatly impacting public perception.
Although shops hadn't yet received their share, despite diamonds mined from South Africa not being distributed across China, this capital-intensive advertising strategy managed to successfully draw the public's attention to Phantom Spirit Diamonds.
Naturally, these overwhelming advertisements made old diamond merchants very nervous. Especially brands like "Suzhou Hang Style," "Eagle," and "Tong Ling"—they seemed to have known in advance about Phantom Spirit Diamonds entering the Chinese market, launching large-scale price cuts with various promotional activities one after another; within this month alone, their sales doubled, but profits halved. range of his sniper rifle, Wang Zheng continuously fired his gun, and soon several more pirates' bodies were riddled with bullet holes!"That’s awesome! That’s awesome!" Jimmy was不甘示弱 (not willing to...
