Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 222: Don’t Show Up Around Her and Be an Eyesore

Chapter 222

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Don’t Show Up Around Her and Be an Eyesore
"Several missions were successfully completed, accumulating quite a bit of merit. This time, he even saved the Jiang Family, and with their help, he might get promoted by the end of the year at the latest."
Right now, Lin Yun is still a rookie with no military rank. Even if he gets promoted, it would just be from an ordinary soldier to a squad leader.
But being promoted to squad leader in less than a year of enlistment is already much better than most people.
Besides, being a squad leader is just the beginning, not Lin Yun’s ceiling. He’ll only get better.
Mrs. Lin doesn’t understand these things about the military; she just listens to whatever Cheng Jianping says.
As for the Jiang Family?
Don’t know them.
As long as Lin Yun is alive, with all his limbs intact, he can save whoever he wants to.
However...
"Sir, let me say something unpleasant. My Lin Yun is now 21 years old. In the countryside, boys his age are already married and have children. At the very least, they would have found a match by now."
"I’m not rushing him to find someone, since he’s now serving in the military, and the big picture comes first. But the problem is, you can’t arrange for a female comrade to take care of him. If word gets out and people mistakenly think there’s something between them, should Lin Yun be responsible for her or not?"
Mrs. Lin doesn’t like that female comrade.
You see, taking care of a patient, fine. But what’s with the makeup?
And she has no manners at all, like a cactus full of thorns, speaking with criticism despite knowing the situation with Lin Yun’s elders.
If she really ended up with Lin Yun, just don’t show up in front of her in the future!
Cheng Jianping’s eyebrows furrowed, and he instinctively exchanged a glance with Lin Yun, who was on the hospital bed. "Did I arrange for a female comrade to take care of you?"
Lin Yun shook his head, looking serious, "It’s always been Comrade Jiang Chao’an. I don’t know of any female comrade."
"How could you not know?" Mrs. Lin suddenly slapped her thigh. "Tall and slender, wearing a military green short-sleeved shirt, she looks energetic, but the perfume on her, it’s simply overwhelming! If I hadn’t asked Niuniu to open the window early for ventilation, we couldn’t have stayed in this ward!"
Lin Yun suddenly realized that when he first woke up, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Xiang to open the window for this reason.
But he’s been in a daze most of this time, sleeping heavily, and truly didn’t know there was a female comrade in his ward!
But from Mrs. Lin’s description, Lin Yun already guessed who that female comrade was.
Jiang Chaoxin.
Jiang Chao’an’s sister.
And the person he saved during this mission.
"That was my oversight," the senior officer said, "I’ll have a proper talk with her later to make sure she doesn’t overstep."
The senior officer’s attitude was so good that Mrs. Lin couldn’t vent her anger on him.
Lin Yun still didn’t look well; after talking for so long, he already seemed tired, and Mrs. Lin didn’t want to harm his health, so she let him rest.
The mother and daughter left the ward with Jiang Chao’an.
"Is it okay to leave him alone in the ward?"
Cheng Jianping laughed, "This is a military hospital, no one dare misbehave here. You can feel at ease."
"The guest house is just outside the military hospital. Let me take you there."
Mrs. Lin was anxious and repeatedly declined, "No need to trouble you, we’ll find it ourselves."
Having a senior officer accompany them to book a room? No, that’s too conspicuous!
Even if he is Lin Yun’s dear uncle, it’s still not appropriate!
A child not welcomed by his own father, let alone by an uncle one step removed by blood?
Mrs. Lin doesn’t claim to love Lin Yun deeply, but from a mother’s and family member’s perspective, she doesn’t want such a small matter, which she can solve herself, to make Lin Yun lose face in front of this family.
Seeing this, Cheng Jianping didn’t insist, only repeatedly telling them to contact him if they needed anything.
At the guest house, Lin Xiang rented a suite.
A single room only has one bed and no private shower, which is inconvenient for everything.
As a military family, room reservations come with discounts, and even a month’s stay in a suite is only about twenty yuan, which is nothing to Lin Xiang.
After taking their luggage into the room, Lin Xiang and Mrs. Lin took turns washing up and then lay down on their beds to sleep.
Although they spent most of the time sleeping on the train, it was always shaking, making sleep uneasy.
The bed in the guest house was very comfortable; Lin Xiang fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
They slept until the afternoon, waking up because they were hungry.
"Let’s go eat first."
The guest house didn’t have a canteen, and there were no small restaurants nearby. To eat, they had to go to the military hospital’s canteen.
Before setting out, Lin Xiang made several phone calls.
The first call was to the Li Hua Team, and upon learning that they had safely seen Lin Yun, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh right, Niuniu, just after you left, someone came to our Li Hua Team asking about your family’s affairs."
"Were they asking about me?"
The team leader said, "Not exactly, mainly about Lin Yun. Everyone in the village knows Lin Yun was picked up by your father from the back mountain. He was already a few years old when found, can’t hide that. That person also asked how you and your mom treat Lin Yun."
The team leader definitely wouldn’t leak too much about the Lin Family to that person, but couldn’t resist the villagers’ gossip. What if someone jealous of the Lin Family’s good life spoke up? So, the team leader couldn’t guarantee how much that person found out.
"I get it, thanks, team leader uncle."
"This phone is your current contact number, right? I’ll write it down."
Lin Xiang would probably stay at the guest house for a while, so she let the team leader take note of the number.
After finishing the call with the team leader, Lin Xiang then called Director Chen, Director Zhao, and Director Wu, not forgetting to call the Ge Family as well.
Aunt Ge’s house didn’t have a phone; she called the shop at the street corner. The shopkeeper knew her and could ask someone to pass a message to Aunt Ge.
The last call was to Yu Xiumei.
"I haven’t received the admission letter yet. But it’s only the early days of the month, there’s still time, don’t worry. As soon as there’s news, I’ll call you immediately."
"Thank you, Teacher Yu."
"Look at you, still being so polite with me!"
In terms of relationships, Lin Xiang is Tiantian’s lifesaver, equivalent to the whole family’s lifesaver.
In terms of duty, Lin Xiang is Yu Xiumei’s student and her most outstanding one. Worrying about her students’ college admissions is her responsibility, no need for thanks.
After the calls, Lin Xiang paid the three yuan phone fee before heading to the hospital with Mrs. Lin.
