Chapter 210: Chapter 210: She Wants Far Too Much

From the moment he decided to have Xu Qinghuan perform surgery on his son, all information about Xu Qinghuan had been delivered to Huo Zhenqing’s desk, including her biological father.

Her difficult upbringing in the Xu Family since childhood.

She is the child of a martyr, her father was a hero!

Perhaps because of this, in addition to gratitude, Huo Zhenqing also felt compassion for this child. She is younger than his second son, yet at such a young age, she has endured so many hardships and learned such skills.

“I will keep an eye out. If I can find that piece of evidence, I will hand it to you personally.”

Huo Zhenqing understood well that once the evidence was conclusive, Lu Ranglian and Song Wanlin wouldn’t just be guilty of infidelity.

He earnestly said, “Child, the old master of the Lu Family is still alive. He once made very remarkable contributions to the country. Lu Ranglian is the eldest son of the Lu Family, even if you get the evidence, trying to do something with it is like a moth to a flame.”

This is also why in the book, even with evidence in hand, Huo Zhenqing still shelved it and didn’t take it seriously.

For one, he didn’t want to resort to such methods, which would seem petty; secondly, merely relying on this tactic to crush Lu Ranglian is evidently naive.

Xu Qinghuan certainly understood this principle, “Thank you for the reminder. While the Lu Family is a behemoth, when ants swarm, they can kill an elephant. Even if I cannot bring them to justice, there will come a day when their filth will be exposed to the world, letting everyone see how the Lu Family tramples on a martyr’s dignity.”

Huo Zhenqing was surprised by her resolve and said, “You and my Huo Family are somehow connected too. Your father was a soldier who sacrificed for the country. In future, you shouldn’t call me Chief, just call me Uncle!”

Xu Qinghuan was determined to use her medical skills to forge connections and build her network. She and the Huo Family shared a common enemy, and an alliance formed was her strategy.

Without hesitation, she called out “Uncle,” which pleased Huo Zhenqing. He asked, “You are now a youth intellectual in the Shangjiang Team, have you thought about returning to the city?”

If she wanted to return to the city, with her medical skills, it would be easy.

“Not returning for now. Right now, the countryside is safer for me.” Xu Qinghuan thought that 1976 was approaching, and this last phase was very critical.

However, in the end, both the Huo Family and Lu Family landed peacefully, so she wasn’t worried.

Exiting the hospital, Jiang Xingye squatted in front of Xu Qinghuan. Without needing to say much, Xu Qinghuan lay down on him. He stood up and firmly held her legs.

Xu Qinghuan relaxed completely, leaning softly on his shoulder. Amidst countless lights, the vast buildings were uncertain, only his broad shoulders were the harbor of her heart.

Behind them, Huo Zhenqing and others watched from afar.

“Is that Qinghuan’s lover?” Huo Zhenqing asked.

Huo Chi chuckled, “He’s her fiancé. She found him herself in the countryside. Her medical skills are good, but she doesn’t choose wisely, picking a country fellow.”

Huo Zhenqing laughed lightly, “Country fellow? Do you look down on them? Don’t be fooled by the people in the army admiring you. If you face off against him, you will lose within three moves!”

“Impossible!” Huo Chi exclaimed.

Back at the guesthouse, Xu Qinghuan casually washed up and went to sleep.

After the door closed, Jiang Xingye didn’t leave. He sat at the table, organizing the day’s findings, and sketched out a mechanical diagram of the sawbed from the workshop by memory.

Xu Qinghuan woke up to see him still working under the lamp.

She called out, “Ah Ye.”

Jiang Xingye quickly put down his pen, poured her a cup of water from the thermos, tested the temperature, and handed it to her, “Did I wake you?”

He was reluctant to leave her, not wanting to return to his room. Fortunately, this side seemed to have received special care from the Huo Family, so no one disturbed them or repeatedly reminded them not to visit rooms.

“No, I just took a nap and I’m fine.” Xu Qinghuan touched his face, “You’ve been running around all day, are you tired? What time is it, why aren’t you sleeping, did you encounter any difficulties?”

Xu Qinghuan asked several questions in one breath.

She had brought him here, they had been very busy these days, and she couldn’t take care of him, worried that he might not be doing well or was feeling aggrieved.

“Not tired, it’s only a little past ten, still early!” Jiang Xingye sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. Seeing her much more spirited, he finally sighed with relief,

“I went to the largest furniture factory in Yan City today. They have electric saws there, and I plan to use this kind of saw in the future. I want to draw it.”

This was inspired by Xu Qinghuan. After he personally created a harvester, the subsequent threshing machine was him dismantling the components from the drawings, drawing them into part diagrams.

He had personally seen Xu Qinghuan draw assembly diagrams, and in areas he didn’t understand, he asked humbly. Naturally, Xu Qinghuan taught with great dedication, so when he drew the part diagrams, it wasn’t difficult.

“Let me see!” Xu Qinghuan said.

Jiang Xingye handed over the diagram to her, then changed his position, sitting at the head of the bed. Xu Qinghuan leaned against his chest, looking under the dim incandescent light. She was surprised, knowing for a long time Jiang Xingye was exceptionally talented, but she hadn’t expected he could be this intelligent.

Someone with no background in mechanical drawing and electronics could draw an electric saw diagram to such precise detail merely from her brief guidance without a single error.

The symbols were correct too.

However, the electric saw design of this era was somewhat complex. Xu Qinghuan pointed out a few key areas based on her understanding,

“You can simplify it using my earlier ideas; we don’t need such complicated machinery.”

Jiang Xingye kept her words in mind, casually tossed the diagram aside, his heart restless. Merely maintaining composure to hear her out was commendable. He suddenly embraced her, staring at her red lips, his eyes deepened, and he pressed down.

Xu Qinghuan was wearing a nightgown with nothing beneath.

She didn’t notice when her chest felt chilly, her legs straightened, her feet arching high, the inner sides of her thighs pressed against firm muscles.

She heard footsteps outside, shivering, pushing the fuzzy head buried in her chest, “Someone’s coming!”

Jiang Xingye struggled to lift his head, turned, walked to the door, but didn’t go out, resting his elbow on the wall, his head against the back of his hand, gradually calming down.

He didn’t even dare look back.

Xu Qinghuan lay on the bed, feeling limp, her nightgown pushed up to her neck, a chill all over her body, that thrilling sensation surged like a tide, both shameful and stirring.

“I’m going to sleep. You get up and lock the door.” Jiang Xingye’s voice was hoarse, glancing to see her haphazardly pulling the quilt over herself, but her straight legs, white and long, were still exposed.

He swallowed hard, grasping the last bit of reason, walked straight out, and closed the door.

The room remained silent, and Jiang Xingye wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He fished out a cigarette from his pocket, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, had no desire to smoke, and put it back.

Xu Qinghuan got up, saw the marks left on her chest, almost unbearable to look at.

She moved her legs, stepped into slippers, didn’t go that far, but her legs were slightly soft. She walked over and locked the door, only then hearing Jiang Xingye leaving.

The abrupt halt was unpleasant, neither dared face each other.
