Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255 Coveted 2

Fan Xiaohai clicked his tongue, unable to contain his frustration.

"What’s with that expression?" Jiang Yun asked. "Lu Jiang rejected Old Zhao, what are you regretting?"

"It’s not often you see such a beautiful potential beauty. I wanted to arrange a betrothal for my grandnephew, but now that Comrade Lu Jiang has turned Old Zhao down, do I even have a say?" With such a young and promising father, the little girl’s status goes without saying. Fan Xiaohai was full of schemes, having heard that the Lu Family had a pretty good relationship with old leading figures.

Anyone could recognize Lu Jiang at a glance, for no other reason than his youth and high rank.

Among a crowd of white-haired elders, Lu Jiang stood out like a crane among chickens, handsome and attracting many sidelong glances.

Some asked if Lu Jiang was married, and the person who happened to hear this question was Zhou Xuecheng. Grateful for the generosity Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had shown by providing medicine back in the day, he was about to greet them, but overheard someone asking if Lu Jiang was married. He couldn’t help but glance at them, "Haven’t you heard Comrade Jiang Yun and the others talking about Comrade Lu Jiang’s triplets? A whole bunch of kids are already born, how could he not be married?"

This person was Han Ping, who was shocked to hear it, "He’s married?"

Zhou Xuecheng looked at him as if he were an idiot but didn’t show it on his face. "Just look at how old Comrade Lu Jiang is, thirty-seven years old. How could he not be married at this age? It’s not like during the war there wasn’t time to get married."

"That’s not necessarily true. There are plenty of older military officers who aren’t married," Han Ping said.

"What you’re talking about was during the war and the early days of nation-building, due to the war. The state has always been trying hard to resolve such situations," Zhou Xuecheng looked at Han Ping for a while and suddenly remembered some recent news. He patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly, "Old Han, I’m close with your brother, and we’re brothers too, so no outsiders here. I’ll tell you, Comrade Lu Jiang and his revolutionary partner Qingxue are my family’s benefactors, as well as your brother’s family’s benefactors. Don’t you be getting any ideas!"

"What ideas could I possibly have? Look at what you’re saying, Old Zhou. Am I that kind of person?" Han Ping refused to admit his little schemes but suddenly realized what was being said, "Benefactors? What benefactors?"

Zhou Xuecheng whispered, "Have you forgotten the meningitis epidemic from two years ago?"

Han Ping was stunned.

Zhou Xuecheng didn’t give him a chance to respond and continued, "My eldest grandson, your brother’s youngest daughter, Old Ding’s youngest grandson, as well as the kids from Old Li’s and Comrade Ye Qing’s families, do you think they survived and didn’t end up mentally impaired by luck, compared to others? It’s all thanks to the few remaining Bezoar Pills in the hands of Comrade Lu Jiang and Qingxue! Without our status, our connections, we could only watch helplessly as our children suffered no less than others from the torment of meningitis!"

Seeing Han Ping’s face flicker, Zhou Xuecheng sighed and patted his shoulder, "I know your daughter recently got divorced, and you want to find her a good family to marry into, but you can’t be disrupting others’ families, can you? Comrade Lu Jiang and Qingxue are a match made in heaven, even the old leaders say so, having met them personally."

Han Ping’s expression became serious, and he laughed, "Old Zhou, you’re worrying too much. I was just asking casually; I’m not harboring any thoughts."

"That’s good, as this conference will last a month or so. There are plenty of single, older cadres. You can take your time to screen and choose a fine son-in-law." Though he said this, Zhou Xuecheng felt he still should warn Lu Jiang and talk to Han Zheng about it, since only Han Zheng could keep his brother in check.

Without Han Zheng, would Han Ping have had the chance to rise so high?
