Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Don’t Take It Seriously

Gu Lingling felt she had made enough pancakes, and since the food was cooked in a large pot over a wood fire, she gave generous portions. Yet, in the end, the plates were almost licked clean by Su Ziqiao.

Even so, Su Ziqiao patted his belly unsatisfied, ”I should have known not to eat so much this morning.”

What a foodie.

He didn’t even notice Liu Jun constantly giving him signals, just relishing the taste of the food.

This is so unreliable; hadn’t we agreed on it earlier? Yet this guy forgot everything after a meal.

”So... Lingling...” Liu Jun looked at Gu Lingling with embarrassment, ”Do you like soldiers? What do you think of soldiers?”

What does that mean?

Gu Lingling paused in her dishwashing and looked at Liu Jun warily.

This man was Yang Yunhai’s right-hand man in a previous life, holding significant status in the business world, earning the nickname ’Smiling Fox.’

Don’t be fooled by his honest-looking appearance; he’s ruthless when it comes to tricking people.

”Don’t you admire soldiers?” Liu Jun, seeing Gu Lingling’s sharp gaze, felt as if his little schemes were laid bare to her.

This young girl’s eyes are too sharp.

”What exactly are you trying to say?” Gu Lingling asked impatiently.

”What he means is,” Su Ziqiao said, biting into an apple, ”Brother Hai was injured on duty, as you can see, the two of us really can’t take care of him properly.”

”He’s injured and can’t even get a hot meal. If his nutrition doesn’t keep up, how’s his body not going to fall apart?”

”Brother Hai is the backbone of our team. If he goes down, it’s definitely a loss for our unit.” Su Ziqiao said, even abandoning his apple.

”So, could you please help take care of him during this time?” Liu Jun added, ”Don’t worry, we won’t let you work for nothing; we definitely won’t shortchange you.”

”Yes, we can give you food and vouchers. I still have extra industrial and bicycle vouchers that you can use if you need them,” Su Ziqiao pleaded, ”Please, Lingling.”

”What are you two up to?” As the two pleaded, Yang Yunhai walked out of the house.

”You don’t need to take what they said seriously,” Yang Yunhai said coldly, ”Once it’s calm outside, you two should safely escort them home.”

Liu Jun’s face crinkled like an old man.

”Boss, we can’t let this happen,” Liu Jun said bitterly, ”Starting tomorrow, the unit will be busy, and having no one to watch over here makes us uneasy.”

”I’m a grown man; what is there to be uneasy about?” He was injured, sure, but not bedridden. After a few days of recovery, he’ll be fine.

”But you’re injured now,” Liu Jun said, distressed, ”How about I have the unit send a female doctor over? That... someone...”

Isn’t that someone quite fond of the boss? If she’s asked to come, she would be very willing.

However, he didn’t dare voice his thoughts, as Yang Yunhai’s gaze was simply terrifying.

So frightening!

”I’ll take He Yue back first. I’ll go fetch the car keys,” Liu Jun, seeing the situation, decided to leave quickly; Brother Hai’s gaze was too icy, it was freezing him to the core.

”My injury isn’t a big deal; you don’t have to worry,” he casually explained and went back inside.

So cold.

Gu Lingling, ”...”

Shouldn’t you all consider her feelings a little?

Or was Yang Yunhai afraid He Yue might misunderstand, so he rejected her?

Gu Lingling felt defeated once again.

He Yue’s home is in the village, and Liu Jun has to drive her back, while Gu Lingling has been staying at her grandma’s house in the city for the past few days, so once everything’s tidied up, Su Ziqiao can just ride a bicycle to take her back.

From beginning to end, Yang Yunhai never reappeared.
