He only hated that the military jeep of this era was too slow, unable to match his eager heart.
Youth still had its advantages; after a brief rest, both Wang Zhaoran and Huo Yaojun had recovered quite well.
More importantly, Liu Yingyu had returned to the city from Shi Gou Village. Upon hearing the news of Yang Qinghe's engagement, she felt it was a pity for Yu Suihuan.
"Yu Suihuan, don’t be sad; there are plenty of men in this world! Don’t you think my brother is more worthy of your lifelong commitment? He’s reliable, responsible, and cares for you! Besides, Huo Dongkai and I will keep an eye on him for you! You can rest assured; if he dares to treat you poorly, we’ll be the first to teach him a lesson!"
"You’re still so talkative. It seems only food can silence you!"
Yu Suihuan smiled brightly. After going through some experiences, she realized that Huo Yaojun was indeed quite nice.
"Ah, where should we eat? We were supposed to get together anyway!"
Liu Yingyu was excited; she liked Yu Suihuan's straightforward personality, unlike others who were so convoluted and scheming!
"How about Old Mo’s? Let’s invite your brother and Wang Zhaoran too!"
"That sounds great! See you later!"
After saying that, Liu Yingyu rushed off. In truth, this girl was quite adorable and straightforward.
In the seventies, Old Mo’s restaurant in Jing City was considered a trendy spot. Located on the bustling Wangfujing Street, it was one of the few Western restaurants at the time. The food was not only delicious but also filled with an exotic atmosphere.
As dinner time approached, the four arrived as promised. Upon entering the restaurant, they saw old photographs hanging on the walls, documenting the glorious history of the establishment.
The wooden tables and chairs, crystal chandeliers, and exquisite tableware all showcased the restaurant's elegance. Yu Suihuan and her friends found a window-side table where they could enjoy the street view outside.
Steaks, pasta, salads, creamy mushroom soup—oh, let’s add a bottle of red wine too!
Liu Yingyu was familiar with the routine; she knew that Yu Suihuan wasn’t short on money.
"Oh my, I can finally enjoy Old Mo's cooking again!" she exclaimed after placing the order, letting out a sigh.
"Ah, Yu Suihuan, you have no idea. Ever since you and Wang Zhao Ran went off to university, we've lost so much fun! Then my brother returned to the city, and it’s just been me and Huo Dongkai left, bickering every day. It's driving me crazy!"
While waiting for their food, they reminisced about amusing stories from their countryside trips, laughter filling the air.
"I heard about Xue Lan! That shameless woman has issues. Why can’t she keep an eye on her own man instead of causing trouble for you?" Liu Yingyu said angrily. The mention of Xue Lan made her blood boil; that woman was truly despicable.
Even though it was all in the past, hearing the words "her man" still pierced Yu Suihuan's heart deeply.
"Don't worry about her, Yu Suihuan. What’s so great about the Xue Family? We’ll make sure to help you settle this score!" Liu Yingyu reassured her.
Before she went to the countryside, she had been quite a firebrand in the military compound. All the kids there were from military families; what did ranks matter? They had no idea how many times they had fought with children of higher-ranking officials when they were young!
Besides, it was Xue Lan who acted unreasonably. What if Liu Yingyu confronted her? She didn’t believe that Xue Lan could make a big deal out of it if she was in the wrong. If Xue Lan dared to escalate things, Liu Yingyu would expose her character for everyone to see.
She was eager to find out who would end up regretting it in the end!
