"Chen Feitang is Chen Feibai's cousin, and she is more promising than he is. She's the only female military officer in this, and the previous generation. Back when I was still studying, we were in the same military school. Also, she was a batch younger than me and that's it. What's weird between her and me?" Lu Xingzhi explained.
"So she's related to Chen Feibai!" Jiang Yao laughed. "Chen Feibai was the person I recalled when I heard her name!"
Jiang Yao could clearly tell that Lu Xingzhi was treating Chen Feitang way too coldly, or in other words, he was distancing himself from her on purpose. However, when she found out that Chen Feitang was Chen Feibai's cousin, Jiang Yao finally understood everything.
There was an old Chinese saying that went like this, When a man loves a woman, he will love everything related to her as well.' In contrast, when a man hates someone, it might result in his total hatred of the people and things around that individual.
Jiang Yao assumed that Chen Feibai was the reason why Lu Xingzhi treated Chen Feitang like that. It was all because Lu Xingzhi did not like Chen Feibai, so he did not like Chen Feibai's cousin as well.
"How about Big Brother Liang and his wife?" Jiang Yao asked. "Big Brother Liang looked like he meant it when he said that his wife was blind, even his wife took it seriously."
"Both of them..." It was a rare scene to witness Lu Xingzhi showing more than one emotion on his face. "It was a political marriage between two families. According to what I heard from Yueze, Big Brother Liang's wife had a lover before she married him but their relationship was cut off because of her family. After countless failed attempts to resist her family's order, she was forced to marry Big Brother Liang in the end."
Therefore, two individuals who had no feelings for each other were tied together due to their families. That was probably the reason why even when their bodies were tied together, their souls had never met, no wonder the interaction between Big Brother Liang and his wife was weird.
Jindo City in October was no longer hot. The sun was high up in the sky but it only made people feel warm.
