After the Groom Ran Off, I Convinced a Military Commander to Marry Me - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: It’s Not That He Looks Like Him, It’s Him

Qu Xiaowan continued to drink the egg soup in front of her calmly. From the corner of her eye, she saw Qu Xiaoman suppressing the corners of her lips.

Old Master Qu said unhurriedly, “Neither of them have much experience. It’s a little rushed to decide on it immediately.”

Qu Zhen hurriedly said, “Dad, Xiaoman has management experience. She has been interning in the restaurant for the past two years and has learned a lot. Moreover, Xiaowan’s health is not good. I don’t want her to be too tired.”

Old Master Qu did not react when he heard these words, but Yue Ran slammed her chopsticks on the table.

Qu Xiaowan hurriedly touched her mother’s shoes with her toes. Yue Ran choked on her anger. She looked at her daughter in confusion. Qu Xiaowan blinked at her mother. After comforting her mother, she smiled and refilled her father’s soup. “Dad is always concerned about my health. It’s not good to let Xiaoman do all the tiring work. Xiaoman will think that you’re biased.”

“I…” Qu Zhen looked at Qu Xiaoman.

Qu Xiaoman already knew how powerful Qu Xiaowan was and quickly denied it. “No, I won’t think that way.”

Qu Xiaowan said, “Xiaoman, although you’re an adopted daughter, we’ve lived together for so many years. I’ve long treated you as my biological sister. So Dad, you can’t let me be lazy and make Xiaoman work so hard. Besides, my body has almost recovered. I can’t keep hiding at home, right? Why don’t we run the branch together? Whoever manages the branch better will be the one to manage it in the end. How about that?”

Qu Zhen seriously considered his daughter’s suggestion and felt that it was not bad.

Old Master Qu smiled in admiration. “I think Xiaowan’s idea is not bad.”

Yue Ran did not understand what was going on, but it was fine as long as her daughter did not suffer any losses.

Qu Xiaoman was anxious. She had already convinced Qu Zhen to let her be the person-in-charge of the branch in District One, but now, she suddenly had to run it with Qu Xiaowan. She felt a little uneasy. More importantly, Qu Xiaowan was getting more and more difficult to deal with. She did not want any other variables. She was anxious to say something to Qu Zhen, but Qu Xiaowan asked the housekeeping robot to turn on the screen in the dining room. Today’s news was playing on the screen.

The emcee was a very good-looking beastwoman. One of her pink rabbit ears was pricked up, and the other was drooping. It made people want to pet her. She announced excitedly, “Our Federation of China’s bravest and greatest First Commander, Lord Jing Yu, doesn’t wear a mask anymore! In the past, the public had many guesses about his appearance, but his true appearance surprised everyone!”

After that, the emcee interviewed a few people. These people were very excited because they did not expect the First Commander to be so handsome!

The Qu family members, who were eating, were all stunned when they saw Commander Jing’s face on the screen without a mask.

The chopsticks in Old Master Qu’s hand fell to the floor. He looked at his granddaughter with a complicated expression.

Qu Xiaowan hurriedly buried her head in her food, not wanting to look at her grandfather.

Only Yue Ran was calmer in the Qu Family now. Actually, she was also very shocked when she found out the truth. However, she felt more emotionally balanced after seeing her family’s reaction. In the end, Qu Xiaoman had the greatest reaction.

The corners of Qu Xiaoman’s lips twitched. She gripped her chopsticks tightly as if she wanted to crush them!

She turned to look at Qu Xiaowan and forgot to pretend. Her eyes widened as she asked, “The person who married you that day was… Commander Jing’s relative?”

Qu Xiaoman did not go to the wedding, but she saw the wedding video. She had wanted to watch the video of Qu Xiaowan making a fool of herself, but she saw such a handsome groom instead! He was even more handsome than Yi Han!

At first, Qu Xiaowan regretted her impulsive decision to get married to Jing Yu that day, but she felt extremely good seeing Qu Xiaoman’s reaction! She picked up the lemonade at the side and took a sip before saying slowly, “He’s not his relative.”

Qu Xiaoman heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not. He simply looked like him. She squeezed out a smile and said, “He looks quite like him.”

Qu Xiaowan said calmly, “It’s not that he looks like him, it’s him.”

Qu Xiaoman: “!!!”

This time, everyone could not eat anymore. Old Master Qu asked with a complex expression, “What exactly happened?”

Qu Xiaowan looked at Qu Xiaoman and said, “Wasn’t Yi Han tied down by someone and couldn’t rush back to complete the wedding? I met the Commander and fell in love with him at first sight. Then, I married him.”

Old Master Qu narrowed his eyes. He felt that his granddaughter’s words were exaggerated.

However, Qu Zhen said, “Xiaowan, why didn’t you say so earlier? Commander Jing won’t be angry that we neglected him, right?”
