Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 283 - Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.15)

Chapter 283: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.15)

At this moment, there was a colossus of a vehicle rolling along slowly, and underneath was a huge chain.

A simple four-sided iron box was fixed above the chain, which looked extremely strange.

As XunMi watched it moving, she felt like: 囧. If this kind of thing were put in modern times, it would definitely be criticized as extremely ugly.

But in this era, to tell the truth, it could already be considered to be pretty amazing advanced technology.

“Wife, you’re here, come and look at this big guy. if we have it on the battlefield, crus.h.i.+ng the enemies will be a breeze.”

Ziju BaiLin watched the researchers’ demonstration, and quickly felt the excitement rising in his chest.

His wife was so capable that he must quickly marry her home.

XunMi smiled and shook her head: “This is still not the most practical. Wait until the armored car is built, as right now it’s only half completed.”

The cannons on the tank were still in the experimental stage. After slacking off for two days, she should finish the work at hand.

“Everything is great.” Ziju BaiLin hugged his wife and looked at the big thing that was moving down the middle of the field in accordance with the instructions.

“In this chaotic world, if there’s no chaos, it will never become a new world. One day we will drive those invaders out of the country.”

Then I will give you a peaceful and prosperous world, without war, without smoke, without gunfire.

“I believe in you. You will definitely be able to do it. I also believe in this country. In the end, victory will be ours.”

Just like the world where she was from, history was also like this. The Qing dynasty closed off the country from foreign contact, leading to the country’s ruin.

After so many years of colonies and invaders, in the end, the tenacious and advanced revolutionaries took back control.

Ziju BaiLin looked into the distance, his body emitting a strong and confident air, like the sharpest sword, always ready to be unsheathed.

After the demonstration finished, Jun YuQing came over with a red invitation, a strange expression on his face.

“What is it?” Ziju BaiLin cast a sidelong glance at him.

“Marshal, Madam, this is an invitation to the Madam from Chairman w.a.n.g, saying that he wishes to apologize for the matter from last time.”

Jun YuQing didn’t know what happened last time, so he was baffled by Chairman w.a.n.g’s letter.

XunMi was also confused. Last time? What matter from last time? Why couldn’t she remember?

“Madam, it must be from when you attended the opera.” Mu Cheng spoke.

The marshal and his wife had come back out as soon as they had entered, and their expressions had been very bad. He remembered it clearly.

“Oh, it was that time, ah. Chairman w.a.n.g can really play around. YuQing, help me respond to him. I will certainly be punctual. One doesn’t visit a temple without a cause.[1] It happened so long ago, but he only now thinks to apologize. It really looks like a case of ‘beware of suspicious folk bearing gifts.’ He doesn’t have good intentions.” XunMi fiddled with the card in her hands and read the contents.

It was just, “Why does everyone like FuRong Restaurant so much?” She didn’t find FuRong’s food to be that delicious.

“Eh? Madam doesn’t know? FuRong Restaurant is the Nian family’s business. It’s also well known for its hibiscus cake.[2] It is said that the hibiscus cake is made Miss Nian ShuRong, and she makes a limited supply.”

The Mu Cheng encyclopedia was immediately available .

The smile on XunMi’s face cracked. Why didn’t she know that FuRong Restaurant had a connection with her older sister?

Sure enough, the original body didn’t care about these things at all, so her ignorance wasn’t to blame. O (∩_∩) O ~

“YuQing, reserve the room next door first,” she pointed her finger at Ziju BaiLin, “to give to your marshal.”

She absolutely believed that when the time came, this guy would be a sticky candy she’d be unable to shake off, so she made arrangements for him first.

If her husband were present, she believed that Chairman w.a.n.g would never express his true purpose.

Ziju BaiLin’s expression sank, as he said: “Wife, why don’t you let me go with you?” If that old fellow bullied his wife again, what’s to be done?

“He won’t dare to bully me, don’t worry.”

XunMi took Ziju BaiLin’s hand, and walked while discussing the artillery, diverting his attention.

Mu Cheng and Jun YuQing glanced at each other and shook their heads silently. Their Marshal was really whipped.

However this Marshal’s wife, they also admired her very much.

She was a perfect match for their marshal. It was really a wise decision to occupy Li Hua Province.

* * *

“Chairman w.a.n.g didn’t simply invite me over for dinner, right?” In the private room, XunMi turned her empty teacup, her eyes hanging low, and a clear light smile on her face.

For a while, Chairman w.a.n.g didn’t know what XunMi meant, and he hesitated.

“Miss Nian, you and Marshal Ziju are not bad, right?” After thinking for a while, Chairman w.a.n.g decided to adopt a circuitous policy.

XunMi crossed her legs, rested her hands on the chair’s armrests, and leaned into the back of the chair, her eyes clear.

“What does Chairman w.a.n.g mean?” Her fingers rubbed the armrests, seemingly without any rhythm, but waiting.

Waiting for the other person to take the initiative to jump into this pit that had been dug.

“My meaning, Miss Nian, you are so smart, it’s impossible you don’t understand.”

Chairman w.a.n.g cursed to himself. This Nian XunMi was too crafty.

“I apologize, Chairman w.a.n.g, I really don’t understand, but… I get along well with the Marshal.”

XunMi looked at the other person with a smile that wasn’t a smile, and her eyes flashed.

“Why does Chairman w.a.n.g suddenly care about me and the marshal? Could it be there is something you want my help with?”

Heh… if I give you a pole, I don’t believe you won’t climb up.

“Miss Nian deserves to be called a talented girl, truly clever.” Chairman w.a.n.g hurried to praise. “It’s like this. I am someone who was born and raised here in Li Hua Province. I have deep sentiments for every inch of this place, especially this person…”

“Chairman w.a.n.g, I have limited time. I’ll have to trouble you to directly get to the point.” XunMi directly interrupted the long speech the old man was preparing. She had no inclination to follow him round in circles.

Her husband was still next door. In case Mu Cheng could not suppress him, it would not be good for him to rush out.

Chairman w.a.n.g awkwardly closed his mouth and turned his thoughts over in his mind, then: “Miss Nian is really willing to be s.n.a.t.c.hed and become the wife of the bandit marshal?”

XunMi was silent. What the h.e.l.l was with this plan? Why the h.e.l.l did this feel familiar? It seemed like someone had used it already.

Next door, Ziju BaiLin was already unhappy with Chairman w.a.n.g, and now when he heard these words, he was ready to explode.

If not for Mu Cheng quickly blocking his path, it could be a.s.sumed he really would have rushed over like XunMi guessed.

“Marshal, Marshal, you have to calm down, ah, the Madam still hasn’t spoken.”

“Be calm how? This d.a.m.ned thing, he actually dares to incite my wife to not want me. Is he tired of living? I will shoot him!”

Ziju BaiLin really couldn’t calm down. If someone else urged his wife to leave him, where could he go to cry?

The tears in Mu Cheng’s heart simply flowed and flowed.

“Marshal, the Madam must have known Chairman w.a.n.g’s thoughts before she came to see him. The Madam must have her own plans. Don’t really give the Madam a reason to leave. Please keep a cool head, Marshal.”
