Chapter 1589: Chapter 1589: Unforeseen Disaster 3

Du Juan was beyond uncomfortable; she was practically sitting on pins and needles, completely at a loss.

Wa Zhanpeng’s pursuit of Feng Qingyun wasn’t a secret, and Wa Zhanling’s comments targeting Feng Qingyun at Quanjude had long been spread around. Many high-ranking officials were there eating roast duck, and if they didn’t see it, they certainly heard it.

Feng Qingyun didn’t accept Wa Zhanpeng’s pursuit, yet she was still going to marry into a family from their social strata.

The Rong Family wasn’t worse off compared to theirs. The previous generation of Commander Rong was a powerful elder Red Army member, and their family was very prosperous.

Du Juan always felt the gaze of others was strange, as if containing a hidden mockery, piercing into her like needles. If she hadn’t wanted to seize the opportunity for socializing, she would have left with her daughter much earlier.

Finally enduring until the performance ended, the mother and daughter hurriedly left, and Cui Shaoyuan made a phone call to Lu Jiang.

Interestingly enough, Commander Rong and Cui Shaoyuan were in-laws; Hu Lan and Cui Shaoyuan’s wife, Hu Mei, were biological sisters and had a particularly good relationship. The happiest person to find Li Jiaoyang was Hu Mei.

"In-laws?" Feng Qingxue never expected it.

No wonder people often say that moving in the same circle leads to inevitable familial connections.

Compared to the masses, this circle isn’t very large nor very small; it’s just that group of people, and not many manage to get in each year.

Feeling the water in the basin was not warm enough, Lu Jiang poured some hot water from the kettle next to him into the basin, "Yes, in-laws. Cui Shaoyuan and Commander Rong are direct in-laws, and Cui Shaoyuan’s daughter married Commander Rong’s nephew; it’s like relatives on top of relatives. The two families have a very good relationship."

Feng Qingxue shook her head and chuckled, "I see. I need to carefully note down the relationships between each family in my notebook next time, so that I don’t end up embarrassing myself by not knowing their connections."

"That’s essential, to avoid speaking poorly about one family in front of another only to find out they’re relatives."

That’s exactly what Feng Qingxue thought.

Sometimes when you think about it, people of high society have it pretty tough; just managing interpersonal relationships is busy enough.

By comparison, life in the military is much simpler.

"Alright, it’s getting late, you should get some rest. You’ve got work tomorrow." The soldiers who entered the hospital today will need to be checked on tomorrow, Lu Jiang thought, picking up the towel to dry his wife’s feet and then washing his own in the water.

The next morning, when Feng Qingxue woke up, Lu Jiang had already left, before dawn.

Fubao wore a dried scarf and hat, her cheeks glowing red with happiness.

"Mommy, did you thank Daddy for me?" She hadn’t seen Lu Jiang that morning; he must have gone to work.

Feng Qingxue put down her bowl of porridge, rinsed her mouth, and picked up her first aid kit, "You can thank Daddy yourself when you see him. Okay, I’m off to the hospital. You and Brother Ye Yan be careful on your way to school, don’t slip."

"Goodbye Mommy!" Fubao waved her hand.

She and the triplets had already accustomed themselves to their parents’ busy everyday life and she had to go to school too.

The snow had stopped last night; though it piled thick, the soldiers had cleared the ground of snow.

Feng Qingxue pulled down her scarf, took a breath, and felt the chill.

"Doctor Feng, wait for me." Liu Yan called her from behind, and moments later caught up, hands gripping her diagonally slung khaki canvas satchel, "Can I have half the afternoon off?"
