Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 1106 Zhou Xiaobai

Years are a killer knife.

Yes, that's right, people's experience and knowledge become richer and richer with time.

Likewise, human glory will become more and more vicissitudes.

Seeing that his colleagues were all old men with gray hair, Yang Jun couldn't help but become anxious.

Everyone else looked old, but he was the only one who was full of energy, like a young man in his twenties.

It doesn't fit in with them.

Yang Jun was worried that if this continued for a long time, he would be ostracized.

Putting aside the issue of the position, just the way he looks must have put enormous psychological pressure on his competitors.

Oh, I am getting older day by day, but you are getting younger and younger. Who wouldn’t be jealous?

Over time, they will become xenophobic.

This is what Yang Jun is most worried about.

So, sometimes, he wondered whether he should quit while the going was good.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he immediately rejected this idea.

Why do you want to sacrifice me just because you are dissatisfied?

He decided that no matter how bumpy the future might be, he would go all the way.

He wants to trample under his feet all those who look down on him or can't stand him doing well.

God gave him an ageless appearance so that he could shine.

The focus of Yang Jun's work now is mainly on dealing with interpersonal relationships.

If you handle the relationship well, it won't be so important whether you achieve results at work or not.

Now, thanks to his efforts, he has two more halos on his head.

Now that the officials are getting higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer people who can touch them.

As your position gets higher, you have more and more time at your disposal.

Unless it is work-related or socializing, Yang Jun almost always lies at home.

That day, Yang Jun was lying on the Diaoyutai, flipping through the newspapers of the past two days.

At this time, the guard came over here in a hurry.

"Boss, Zhou Xiaobai is here to visit."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Who?"

He thought about it and felt that the name was familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

"Zhou Xiaobai."

Seeing Yang Jun’s confused look, the guard immediately handed him a visiting card.

Yang Jun took it and looked at it. On the visiting card was written the words "such and such military region" followed by a person's name.

I glanced at the bottom and saw the five words "Worship by Zhou Xiaobai" written on it.

Yang Jun slapped his head and finally remembered who Zhou Xiaobai was.

When I went to the military compound before, I often ran into the little girl with two pigtails.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Zhou Xiaobai actually came to me on his own initiative.

After closing the visiting card, Yang Jun pondered for a moment.

"Invite her in."

The guard responded and turned and left.

Yang Jun asked someone to replace the pot of tea and then sat there.

He wondered why Zhou Xiaobai came to see him under the name of her father, and what she wanted to see him for.

He recalled the TV series Bloody Romance carefully.

He remembered that Zhou Xiaobai loved Zhong Yuemin, but ended up marrying Yuan Jun.

However, due to Yang Jun's intervention in this world, Zhong Yuemin's life trajectory changed, and even Zhou Xiaobai's life changed.

Under the arrangement of Zhong Shanyue, Zhong Yuemin married an ordinary female worker. Although he and Zhou Xiaobai had a love affair, Zhong Yuemin's life trajectory changed at that time, so they still maintain that delicate relationship.

Yang Jun lowered his head in thought, carefully calculating the timeline.

According to the current time, Zhou Xiaobai should be thirty years old.

"Great leader."

Just as Yang Jun was deep in thought, a voice interrupted him.

He looked up and saw Zhou Xiaobai, dressed in military uniform, standing in front of him.

I haven't seen Zhou Xiaobai for more than ten years, and she has grown into a big girl.

Judging from how fat she has gained, she should be married.

"This is home, there are no outsiders here, just call me brother-in-law."

Yang Jun gestured for her to sit down.

"Well, I'll be bold enough to call you brother-in-law as before."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled.

Yang Jun smiled when he heard this.

He returned the visiting card to Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Don't come here in your father's name in the future. I'll tell the guard and you can just come over directly."

Zhou Xiaobai heard this and said embarrassedly: "I am afraid that I am not important enough, so I came here in my father's name."

"No need, just come directly next time."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

The two chatted for a while and then got down to business.

"Brother-in-law, I came to visit you this time to ask for your help."

"Oh, you said, I'll do it for you if I can."

"Well, then I'll just tell you."

Zhou Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Yang Jun.

"I heard that Zhong Yuemin was with you, my brother-in-law, before he disappeared. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.

Zhou Xiaobai still has Zhong Yuemin in her heart, and even after getting married, she still keeps a place for him in her heart.

He knows Zhong Yuemin's situation better than anyone else.

He is in the trading room now.

Previously, this guy embezzled money from the unit and was sent to jail by his father.

All these years have passed, and it still hasn't come out.

"That's right." Yang Jun nodded.

When Zhou Xiaobai heard this, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

"He disappeared for so many years. Do you know where he is?"

"know."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Zhou Xiaobai waited for a while, and seeing that Yang Jun didn't say where Zhong Yuemin was, he asked.

"Brother-in-law, can you tell me where he is now?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun looked up into her eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobai felt uneasy and looked around, not daring to look him in the face.

Yang Jun pondered for a moment, then said, "You should think it over carefully before asking. After all, you are a married woman now."

Zhou Xiaobai blushed when he heard this.

The whole person suddenly became panicked.

She didn't know why Yang Jun knew about her and Zhong Yuemin. She had kept this secret in her heart for more than ten years, but she didn't expect that Yang Jun saw through it.

"Brother-in-law, I just care about Yuemin as a friend, not what you think." Zhou Xiaobai said in panic.

Yang Jun heard this and shook his head.

"You know best what's going on between you two."

"As your brother-in-law, I want to advise you that some things are over and done with. Don't go back on them."

"Once you take that step, there is no regret medicine in this world."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai became even more panicked.

"Brother-in-law, I...I..."

She was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Yang Jun raised his hand, signaling her to stop talking.

"Yuan Jun loves you. He is the best person to you besides your parents. I hope you can cherish him." "As for Zhong Yuemin, he is not your home. He has his own destiny. I hope you don't disturb him."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but nodded.

It seems that Yang Jun knows what is going on between the three of them, and seems to be very familiar with the subtle relationship between them.

Although she didn't know how Yang Jun knew these things, she felt that Yang Jun was right.

If it weren't for the obsession in her heart that has been driving her for so many years, she would probably want to let it go sooner.

"Brother-in-law."

At this time, Zhou Xiaobai stared at Yang Jun with his eyes full of hope.

"I just want to end this relationship that has lasted for so many years. Can you tell me...what happened to him?"

Yang Jun did not answer her question, but asked: "Do you know that you have the habit of talking in your sleep?"

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems to be the case."

"Then do you know what you said in your dream?" Yang Jun asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaobai shook his head.

Yang Jun looked back at her, then said faintly: "You said you like Zhong Yuemin."

"what?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai screamed and looked at Yang Jun in disbelief.

"Brother-in-law, how did you know?"

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about how I know this. You should be worried about whether Yuan Jun knows about this."

When Zhou Xiaobai heard this, he was stunned.

obviously.

Yuan Jun must know about this.

Over the years, the couple has been living in the same bed but with different dreams.

Although no one said it, they both knew it in their hearts.

Zhou Xiaobai was thinking about Zhong Yuemin, while Yuan Jun was thinking about pain.

He loved Zhou Xiaobai deeply, but if he exposed this matter, he was afraid that they would not even be able to be husband and wife in the end.

"Brother-in-law, what should I do now?" Zhou Xiaobai asked in panic.

At this point, she no longer worried about how Yang Jun knew about this, but was worried about whether her marriage with Yuan Jun could continue.

Hearing this, Yang Jun smiled and said, "You are an adult now. You know better than anyone what to do."

"If you can't let go of Zhong Yuemin in your heart, I advise you not to hurt Yuan Jun."

When Zhou Xiaobai heard this, his face turned pale.

To be honest, she was in a very complicated mood at the moment.

She loved Zhong Yuemin in her heart, but at the same time she also remembered Yuan Jun's meticulous care for her over the years.

I suddenly remembered how selfish I was.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm so confused now. I don't know what to do. Can you give me some advice?"

Yang Jun sighed after hearing this.

"I ask you, which is happier, being with someone you love or being with someone who loves you?"

Zhou Xiaobai pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"Brother-in-law, I know what to choose."

Hearing this, Yang Jun smiled and said, "You are an adult now. The focus of your life should not be on love. You still have a long life ahead of you. Don't be obsessed with the present moment. Look to the future. The whole world is yours."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai stood up and bowed to Yang Jun.

"Okay, it's almost time for lunch, why don't you stay and have lunch with us?" Yang Jun said.

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Zhou Xiaobai was not a shy person, so he agreed without thinking.

"I haven't seen Sister Qiushui for a long time. I must have a good reunion this time."

Come to the backyard.

Yi Qiu Shui and Zhou Xiaobai have endless topics to talk about as soon as they meet.

When Zhou Xiaobai saw Yang Jun and his group of women, he was no longer calm.

After finding a deserted place, Zhou Xiaobai asked,

"Sister Qiushui, you are also a proud woman. How can you accept your brother-in-law being like this?"

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui smiled bitterly and said, "So what? Should I divorce him?"

"You are an independent woman, so divorce is not impossible."

Zhou Xiaobai said anxiously: "If it were me, I would never accept that my man has many women."

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui looked at Zhou Xiaobai who looked serious and said with a smile: "Things are not as simple as you think."

"I was young once, and I married for love, but so what?"

"The world is complicated and not as beautiful as you imagine. Sometimes people have to give in."

“Don’t be hard on yourself. Sometimes, if you take a step back, you can find a new world.”

"Life is short, why make it hard on yourself?"

Zhou Xiaobai heard this and shook his head, "I really don't understand you."

"If you don't understand, then you don't understand. You will understand it later."

After Yi Qiushui finished speaking, he continued, "By the way, what did you come to see Lao Yang about today?"

Zhou Xiaobai blushed when he heard this.

After hesitating for a moment, he told her about his search for Yang Jun.

After listening to this, Yi Qiushui laughed and said, "Look, you are making things difficult for yourself now."

"I like Zhong Yuemin, but I can't let go of Yuan Jun. There are not so many ways to have the best of both worlds. Sometimes you have to give up one."

"After all, you're not as open-minded as I am. A choice like mine is the best of both worlds."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai felt even more confused.

"Sister Qiushui, do you still love your brother-in-law now?"

She finally asked the question she wanted to ask most.

She believed that Yi Qiu Shui made this choice out of accommodation and to keep the peace.

Unexpectedly, Yi Qiushui heard it and smiled and said, "Of course I love you."

"I love him, can I stop other women from loving him?"

"Just like you, you love Zhong Yuemin, so Yuan Jun can't control you, right?"

Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red when he heard this.

After all, she is young, and her world lacks flexibility and sophistication.

I always feel that the world is either black or white.

"Sister Qiushui, why are you dragging me into this when we're talking about your own business?"

Yi Qiushui smiled and said, "Aren't I trying to make you experience it better?"

"If this is the kind of love I would rather not have it." Zhou Xiaobai said.

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"That means you don't love that man enough."

Zhou Xiaobai looked at her as if he understood but not really, with confusion on his face.

"Okay, let's not talk about my business anymore, let's go eat." Yi Qiu Shui said.

"Sister Qiu Shui, let's just forget it." Zhou Xiaobai declined.

"what happened?"

Zhou Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at Yi Qiushui's face and said, "As soon as I see my brother-in-law's women, the pure love that I hold on to in my heart will be shaken. I'm afraid..."

Yi Qiushui smiled and said, "I really envy you. It's good to be young and still have hope in your heart."

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes dodged when he heard that.

Only she knows what she is thinking.

The moment she saw Yang Jun and those women, what she had insisted on for so many years was finally shaken at that moment.

It’s not that she disagrees with Yi Qiu Shui’s words, but she is afraid that if she continues talking, it will shake the beautiful things that she holds on to in her heart.

"Sister Qiushui, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again when I'm free."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaobai fled away.

Looking at her back, Yi Qiu Shui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Still too young..."
