After this incident, all the original transfer lists were invalidated, and the candidates for promotion were re-screened according to the principle of fairness and justice. This time, no one dared to do anything in between.
In the end, the title of sub-commander returned to Ji Yan, and soon, the official documents were issued.
It was also at this time that the others got to know about the relationship between Ji Yan and Grandpa Ji, and they were all dumbfounded, and admired the low-keyness of Ji Yan.
Tang Tang was also dumbfounded, not because of the relationship between the Ji grandpa and grandson, but because of the power of Grandpa Ji. The old man easily solved such a big matter without making a sound. She had even heard that the entire military region had been turned on its head during this time, just because of the old man’s words, the old man must be too powerful.
Originally, she only knew that Grandpa Ji had certain contacts and power, but who knew that the old man’s status was so high. In her era, the old man would have been a proper general of Dingguo, the kind who under one person but above all people.
Tang Tang suddenly felt that they were all great gods. Even Ji Xiaoying and Nuonuo, two little guys who were still in kindergarten, should not be underestimated. Their future would be extraordinary, and them becoming a great god was just around the corner.
Of course, she could not be included in the Great God title, she seemed to lower the average level of the family.
Tang Tang covered her face in shame, the only thing to be thankful for in her heart was that she looked beautiful now, otherwise even her appearance would lower the average level of the family.
Thinking about it carefully, the only thing she did not bring down the average level of the family in now, was her appearance. It seemed that she must not be lax about her appearance in the future, and she must be beautiful at all times as Ji Yue said. After all, it was still necessary to maintain this only one item of pulling points.
As a result, Tang Tang drank her daily beauty soup more diligently, and her weight reached a stable 105 catties under deliberate control. Until it didn’t move anymore. One hundred and five catties made her slim without losing her sensuality, her face therefore looked plumper and more beautiful.
In addition, Tang Tang would secretly hide in the bathroom every night after taking a bath and apply the breast enhancement cream Ji Yue gave her, hoping that her figure would be more attractive. After all, this place had indeed become bigger, and the current Tang Tang had no similarities with before, such that people who were not familiar with them may think that Ji Yan had divorced his original ugly wife and remarried a beautiful one at first glance.
Ji Yan naturally discovered that Tang Tang’s interest in beauty had increased greatly recently. After figuring out what this little girl was thinking, he laughed happily, hugged this cute silly girl and kissed her hard, and expressed his support for this new hobby. After all, his wife loved beauty, and she was dressing up for him in the end. He would be the one who would get to enjoy it.
Half a month passed in such a warm way, and the results of Wen Changyi’s handling came out. Anyone involved in changing candidates would be subject to certain political punishments. Among them, Father Liu and Wen Changyi had both been dismissed from the military.
Tang Tang didn’t have any mood swings when she heard the news. They deserved such a punishment. The only thing she cared about was Nuonuo. Wen Changyi was about to leave here, so he would naturally take Nuonuo away, so wouldn’t their family be separated from Nuonuo in the future?
As long as she thought that she would never see the little girl Nuonuo in the future, she wanted to cry, Nuonuo was similar to her own daughter, how could she be willing to let her go.
The whole family thought about the fact that Nuonuo was about to leave, and their mood was depressed because of this, looking at Nuonuo with reluctance in their eyes. After Ji Xiaoying got to know about it, he was so scared that he hugged Nuonuo tightly at night and refused to let her go. Once someone knocked on the door of their house, he would be the first to run over and ask who it was, for fear that someone had come to take Nuonuo away.
Everyone looked uncomfortable, so they let him go.
But what should come will come after all, on the day Wen Changyi was to leave completely, there was still a knock on the door of Ji’s house.
As if she had a premonition, Nuonuo reflexively threw himself into Tang Tang’s arms and they huddled tightly, while Ji Xiaoying reflexively ran behind the door, asking cautiously and nervously: “Who is it?”
The person outside the door paused for a moment, and replied: “Xiaoying, I am Uncle Wen, Nuonuo’s father.”
Ji Xiaoying’s body tensed up instantly, and his small fists were tightly clenched, “What are you doing here? Go away, we don’t welcome you at home.”
The person outside the door suddenly fell silent, and it took a long time before they spoke again, “Xiao Zhuo, open the door, I just have something to say to Nuonuo, I will leave after I’m finished speaking.”
Ji Xiaoying still refused to open the door and shouted loudly to the door: “If you have anything to say, just say it from outside, don’t come in and say it!”
The person outside the door again made no sound.
Seeing this, Ji Yan sighed, walked over and hugged Ji Xiaoying, who was on full alert and full of hostility, “Xiaoying, calm down! You are useless like this.”
Ji Xiaoying pouted suddenly, and a trace of water vapor appeared in his eyes, then burying his head in Ji Yan’s shoulder, he begged in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Dad, I don’t want Nuonuo to leave, Dad, please.”
Ji Yan closed his eyes unbearably, and after patting the little guy on the back, he reached out to open the door and invited Wen Changyi in who had already taken off his military uniform.
Wen Changyi’s face looked very haggard, he smiled wryly at Ji Yan, and walked in slowly, then his eyes stayed on Nuonuo in Tang Tang’s arms for a long time, his eyes were so complicated that outsiders could not understand.
After a long time, Wen Changyi said to Ji Yan: “Is it convenient to go out and talk?”
Ji Yan thought for a while, nodded, put Ji Xiaoying down, turned around and followed him out the door. The two went directly to the training ground downstairs and sat casually on the red track, but neither of them spoke.
A century seemed to have passed, the sun had moved from mid-air to the west, and it was about to set, when Wen Changyi smiled wryly and said the first sentence, “Am I very disappointing?”
Ji Yan glanced at him but he didn’t speak.
Wen Changyi didn’t care, and smiled, which was so ridiculous that it was uglier than crying, “My ideal was to be a soldier who defended my family and the country. In the blood and in my heart, for my own burden, justice, and fairness were deeply branded. But I don’t know when I lost these aspirations. The years have made me ugly. I lost my mind in the power center. I want to stand out and make all the people who looked down on me look up to me. I wanted to find my own glorious path here. Unfortunately, I chose to rely on the help of others. Compared with you, I really failed, and you should look down on me.”
Ji Yan looked into the distance, quietly listening.
“I’m very calm now. Everything is my fault. I deserve this result. I have nothing to say, but before I leave, I want to settle the matter of Nuonuo. The person I feel most sorry for in my life is her. No, I am not a good father, I have never given her the love of a father, nor the happiness she deserved, and even, in my own heart, I don’t like her very much, but in fact, she has been cute and beautiful since she was a child, and her personality is also well-behaved, but I didn’t pay attention to this point. I just remembered that she liked to dismantle things at home since she was a child, so I didn’t like her very much, and reprimanded her many times. Now when I think about it, it is like this, my son also likes to destroy things at home, but I have never reprimanded him, I am really the most eccentric father.”
Ji Yan nodded in agreement, “Yes, you are quite an asshole. You are Nuonuo’s father, but you never discovered her great talent from her behavior, you only saw her dismantling things, but you didn’t see her assembling the parts after dismantling.”
Wen Changyi was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Ji Yan only asked one question: “Did you know that Nuonuo can assemble a real pistol in one minute without ever seeing a real gun?”
Immediately Wen Changyi’s eyes widened, and he looked at Ji Yan in disbelief.
Ji Yan was too lazy to look at him, and with an indescribably mocking tone, he said, “Do you know how powerful Nuonuo’s talent is? Do you know how great Nuonuo will be after she is trained? But, when she needed her father to discover her talent and cultivate it, you were reprimanding and hating her.”
Wen Changyi couldn’t speak for a long time and was so shocked that he couldn’t recover. It took a long time to digest the matter, then he smiled, but the smile was uglier than crying. He covered his face and choked up, “I’m sorry for her, I am not worthy to be her father. Fortunately, she met your family, thank you for being so kind to my daughter.”
“You don’t need to thank me, we are good to Nuonuo just because we like Nuonuo.”
Wen Changyi nodded, “Yes, I know, you really like her. I came this time to ask you one thing. I can see that Nuonuo doesn’t want to go with me. She likes you very much, so I don’t want to take her away by force, if possible, can I ask you to continue to take care of Nuonuo?”
Ji Yan was surprised now, he really didn’t expect Wen Changyi to say that.
Wen Changyi closed his eyes helplessly, “The Liu family is completely over this time, and the Liu family hates me now, but Zixuan is still willing to live with me, however she will not accept Nuonuo again, the consequences of Nuonuo following me this time will be more serious than before, I am already sorry for the child, and I don’t want to continue to feel sorry for her. So, I beg you to help me take care of her.”
“Are you sure?” Wen Changyi nodded firmly, “This is the last thing I can do for Nuonuo.”
Ji Yan showed a rare smile, this news made him happy, and he thought finally Wen Changyi did something good before leaving.
So, he agreed without hesitation.
Wen Changyi curled his lips and smiled, he knew that Ji family would definitely agree, their family members had the justice and chivalry of soldiers in their bones after all.
