Chapter 11 — Return to Xiangnan Military Region

The people around also seemed to wake up. "That's right, Captain Tong keeps advising comrade Mai to go back to his hometown, maybe to find someone to work as an unpaid nanny for his family?" "I really see that. Besides, comrade Mai is not from the Song family, it's normal to go out and look for a job." In the military, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is extremely important. If it weren't for Chu Tri Luat, no one would have dared to help Mai Tu Khanh. Understanding that, she cleared her throat and calmly said: "Perhaps you don't know, the Song family raised me because my parents sacrificed their lives to save Tong Dinh Nien." She looked straight at him, her voice firm: "I've been alone in the countryside for seven years, and I feel like I owe the Song family nothing." Perhaps because of mentioning her parents, her voice at the end of the sentence trembled slightly. Chu Tri Luat realized her emotions were rising, so he gently squeezed her hand to comfort her and then found an excuse to take her away: "My father heard the news and wants to invite you to dinner, don't keep him waiting too long." Mai Tu Khanh nodded and followed him. Behind him, Tong Dinh Nien watched their shadows disappear and stood frozen in place, ignoring everyone around them and not reacting. I don't know how long later, when everyone had left, he spat and gritted his teeth: "Mai Tu Khanh, don't think that with Chu Tri Luat, I can't do anything to you. Just wait!" Tuong Nam Military Region Hospital. As soon as Tu San walked out of the disinfection room, he saw Tong Dinh Nien standing in front of his room. She smiled and walked over, patted his shoulder: "You just finished eating and came to find me? Aren't the army busy today?"Tong Dinh Nien shook his head, his voice languid: "Don't mention it again, it's Mai Tu Khanh again." Hearing this name, Tu San glanced around warily, pulling him into the stairs. "What's wrong again? Is she following you again?" – she frowned in annoyance – "How can you have such a thick face, the scandal has reached the medical station and it still hasn't stopped." But this time, Tong Dinh Nien quickly covered her mouth: "Shh, don't talk anymore. Mai Tu Khanh can now hold her big thighs. Our group leader Chu has already dragged her to apply for marriage!" Yesterday's leaders even ate together, today she's marrying someone she hates. The lightning news stunned Tu San. "Are you wrong? Didn't they meet for the first time yesterday?" But seeing his serious expression, she had to swallow her words. After a while, Tu San gritted his teeth: "She must have cast some kind of spell to seduce Captain Chu. That kind of face is truly a disaster in the military region." Tu San had a good family background and also knew many leaders in the military region. Chu Tri Luat was someone her family had an eye on, and even asked someone to introduce him to his father - Chu An Quoc. Who would have thought that Chu Tri Luat flatly refused, saying he did not accept arranged marriages and wanted everything to follow fate. Now seeing a country girl like Mai Tu Khanh in his eyes, she couldn't help but feel angry. Tong Dinh Nien saw Tu San's gloomy expression and unconsciously curled his lips and smiled lightly. Pretending to unintentionally contribute: "If only someone would expose her and make her unable to work as a military doctor anymore..." It was because she wanted to ask Tu San to chase away Mai Tu Khanh. Hearing that, Tu San's eyes flashed, she grabbed his hand: "Our hospital is about to hold an annual skills competition, or should I go back and tell my parents, find a way to bring in the military region's medical station?" The idea was to let Mai Tu Khanh - with half-hearted skills - embarrass herself in front of everyone. She curled her lips in contempt: "Wait until she loses face, then I will send someone to denounce her. Make sure she gets out of Tuong Nam. Even if Chu Tri Luat wants to protect her, it won't be enough." At this time, Tong Dinh Nien's mood improved a lot. But in order to maintain a good image in front of Tu San, Tong Dinh Nien still hesitantly opened his mouth: "This... is probably not very good. Tu Khanh worked hard for you."

Even Tuong Nam, now you're still planning on her like that..." Tu San immediately interrupted him: "Tong Dinh Nien, you're too soft-hearted! Wait until she is favored by Captain Chu and blows the wind in your ear on the pillow, then you will know what suffering is. So this time, I have to listen to you." Having said this, Tong Dinh Nien no longer needed to pretend. He hugged Tu San tightly, kissed her cheek loudly: "San San, luckily I have you, I think about everything." Tu San blushed and turned his head to avoid: "What are you doing! This is the hospital!" She just pushed lightly, then Tong Dinh Nien let go: "You're wrong, every time I see you I forget everything." "I'll wait for you to finish work tonight, then come pick you up. I heard there's a new movie, I'll take you to see it." Tu San's face turned red and he nodded. "As for Mai Tu Khanh, leave it to me." At the same time, on the other side. After taking Mai Tu Khanh out of the military area, Chu Tri Luat used the excuse of preparing documents to help her apply for a half-day leave. Then he drove a jeep to take her out of the unit. Seeing the scene outside becoming increasingly strange, Mai Tu Khanh mustered up the courage to ask: "Where are we... going?" Is that so?" Chu Tri Luat turned the steering wheel twice and replied: "I guess you're probably not in the mood to go to the cafeteria to eat, so today I'll take you to my house to eat." "My house?" – she was surprised. “It's your parents' house outside. The military region has private housing support for some long-time officers.” – he gently explained. Mai Tu Khanh also knew that many high-ranking officers received special care from the military region, but when she heard that she had to meet Chu Tri Luat's parents, she still couldn't help but feel worried.
