She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 822: Chapter 862: All Are Heroes

Originally, Chen Yingjie’s appearance was delicate and soft, his skin fairer than some women. Now, he looked like a tough guy. Not just a tough guy, but the kind with a full rogue aura.

“You know nothing about being wrong.” Old Master Chen was both angry and heartbroken. What if Xu Qigang really sacrificed himself to save his grandson? How would he explain this to the country? How would he face the old leaders as an old revolutionary?

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to cultivate a successor. Everyone in the district was watching, aware of Xu Qigang’s importance.

The first, second, and third leaders all saw him as a successor. If he died so easily, the loss would be no less than Meng Fan’s.

Sheng Ning stood outside, feeling quite awkward listening to this. She knocked on the door, and the conversation inside came to a halt.

“Come in!”

Sheng Ning smiled as she pushed open the door. Old Master Chen, seeing it was her, was overjoyed. “Ningning is here? How are you? I heard you gave Qigang a lot of blood.”

“I’m fine!” Sheng Ning respectfully stood by the bed and bowed to Chen Yingjie. “Thank you.”

Chen Yingjie was startled. He had originally thought his sister-in-law came to scold him, but unexpectedly, she bowed to him as soon as she entered. “Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”

“Chen Yingjie, you’re something else. Seeing you’re okay puts my mind at ease.” Sheng Ning gave a thumbs up. “I have to thank you for being safe. You are Qigang’s best brother. If anything happened to you, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

Embarrassed by her words, Chen Yingjie blushed fiercely. Trying to laugh only pulled at the wound on his head, causing him pain.

“Sister-in-law, you’re too polite. I’m brothers with the Captain; it’s how it should be. Besides, it was my negligence this time. I shouldn’t have followed without permission. This mess is my fault, and I’ll reflect thoroughly once I’m discharged.”

“There’s a lot for you to reflect on!” Old Master Chen rolled his eyes, then turned his back secretly. Unseen by others, his eyes had already become moist. He had dedicated his life to the country, lacking the honors of Old Hai and not matching Old Su, nor could he compare with that person from the Shen Family. But he had a grandson he was proud of, incomparable to anyone else.

He could hold his head high and boast in front of them.

“Well, you take good care of yourself. From tomorrow, all meals and drinks for you and Qigang will be on your sister-in-law.” Sheng Ning confidently swung her fist. “My cooking is the best in our district.”

Chen Yingjie’s eyes brightened. He had long missed his sister-in-law’s cooking, just thinking about it made his mouth water. “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

“Don’t mention it. I’ll head back now.”

“Sister-in-law, take care.”

“Ningning…” Old Master Chen hesitated to call Sheng Ning.

“Old Master, what do you need to say?”

“It’s like this, Yingjie’s parents don’t have much time off and have already returned. I’m here every day and don’t have time to cook…”

Sheng Ning, understanding the unsaid, cheerfully replied, “Old Master, I’ll take care of yours as well.”

“That’s great, take care then.”

After Sheng Ning left, Old Master Chen resumed a serious expression, speaking earnestly to Chen Yingjie, “This girl is the smartest and most sensible I’ve ever met. Luckily, she didn’t grow up with the Su Family; otherwise, she might have been led astray.” Old Master Chen strongly disapproved of the Su Family’s educational approach with its domineering men.

He had watched Su Yun grow up waywardly, and also the one from the Hai Family. These two brothers excelled at raising sons, one more outstanding than the other, but when it came to daughters, it was truly hard to describe…
