Chapter 313 Xu Qingshan and Chen Shuning meet at the dance
"Shuning, don't move. Open your mouth and I'll put lipstick on you."
"Sister, I'm not used to applying these things. It's inconvenient to eat and drink."
"We don't need to wear makeup on normal days, but we're having a party at home today, and not wearing makeup would make it seem like we're not serious."
Chen Shuning raised her chin, her mouth slightly open, her tender pink lips adorned with a touch of red. Her eyebrows were carefully trimmed, and her face was lightly powdered.
Guo Junyue lifted her chin, her tone revealing satisfaction: "Song Ci will definitely come to such occasions. She will probably be furious when she sees you and Junshan together. Just thinking about it makes me happy, hahahaha..."
"Sister, I don't care about Song Ci."
"I care." Thinking of the losses she suffered at the hands of Song Ci over the years, Guo Junyue whispered, "She bullied me a lot and pushed the blame on me after she got into trouble. But the elders believed her and refused to listen to my explanation."
Chen Shuning smiled and soothed her, "Sister, don't leave me. She won't be able to bully you while I'm here. Don't tell Song Ci about your secondment to the TV station. If she knows about it, she'll definitely do something bad."
"Well, I haven't told anyone about that. Only my family knows about it." Guo Junyue said with a smile, "The dance I recorded will be broadcast on TV next week. When Song Ci finds out, he'll be furious."
"Shuning, stand up. I'll help you adjust your skirt." Guo Junyue opened the wardrobe and took out a pair of flat leather shoes. She said, "You've never worn high heels, so I bought you a pair of flats to go with your skirt."
Chen Shuning quickly changed her shoes, turned around twice on the ground, and asked shyly, "Sister, am I okay like this? Will it be too conspicuous?"
Chen Shuning tugged at the hem of her skirt and said uncomfortably, "I'm used to wearing pants, and now I feel awkward in a skirt. I don't even know which leg to step forward with when I walk."
"Shunning, it's just a dance, don't be nervous. I will teach you if you don't understand."
Guo Junyue raised her hand and tucked Chen Shuning's hair behind her ear. She took a step back and frowned, saying, "It's too monotonous! Shuning, where are those hairpins you brought?"
"It's in the drawer." Chen Shuning opened the drawer and continued, "Sister, didn't you say you'd take some time to let Gao Yun take a look? I brought it all here."
Her fingertips slid across the shiny hairpins, Guo Junyue picked one and pinned it in Chen Shuning's hair.
"It's even more beautiful now!" Guo Junyue took Chen Shuning's hand and urged, "Let's go! Junshan and the others have been waiting for a long time."
The hall was brightly lit and melodious music played. Guo Weigong held Qi Panqiu's waist and danced among the crowd.
Chen Shuning followed Guo Junyue into the hall. When he looked up and saw Guo Junshan, a smile appeared on his face.
The sounds around him became farther and farther away, the crowd disappeared, and Guo Junshan only had Chen Shuning in his eyes.
"Shuning, my brother's eyes are wide open. Look at his useless look..."
Guo Junyue's teasing made Chen Shuning blush and murmur, "Sister, please stop talking."
Chen Shuning stopped in front of Guo Junshan and looked at him with watery eyes.
Guo Junshan smiled, and amidst the cheers, he bent down and extended his hand, inviting: "Shuning, let me teach you to dance!"
"okay."
Song Ci huddled in the corner, looking at the perfect couple on the dance floor, clenching the wine glass in his hand, hatred pouring out.
Meng Zhujun looked at Song Ci meaningfully, and didn't speak for a long time. No matter how much they quarreled, Song Ci was still her cousin. Seeing her so upset, Meng Zhujun was filled with worry.
"Zhu Jun, let me introduce you to some friends."
Song Ci's eyes fell on the door, and he took the initiative to pull Meng Zhujun over.
"Qingshan, we meet again!"
Song Ci suddenly appeared, interrupting Xu Qingshan's thoughts. His smile was a little forced, and he responded politely and distantly: "Comrade Song Ci, hello."
"Why are you being so polite? Your sister and I are friends. We just met a few days ago. Hey, isn't your sister here?"
Xu Qingshan's eyes darkened, hiding his impatience. They had indeed met before, but Xu Qingshan didn't think that just meeting once made them friends.
"My sister is in the back and will be here soon."
His eyes followed the figures of Chen Shuning and Guo Junshan, and Xu Qingshan was full of doubts: Why did Guo Junshan appear here?
"Qingshan, accompany me to see Chief Wang." Xu Zhengjun spoke sternly, calling Xu Qingshan to his side and whispering a warning: "Stay away from that girl from the Song family. She is not easy to deal with."
"Dad, don't worry, I'm not interested in her."
"It's best if it's boring." Xu Zhengjun searched the crowd for Wang Simin, and reminded Xu Qingshan, "Don't be like that idiot from the Wen family. He'll make people laugh at him."
Wen Yuan, in order to help Song Ci, had offended Guo Weigong badly. Guo Weigong was not one to argue with the younger generation, but he did try to trip up Wen Jianping.
Wen Jianping was in a high position and had no fear of Guo Weigong, but he couldn't afford to offend Wang Simin. Fortunately, the old leader kept his public and private affairs separate and didn't make things difficult for Wen Jianping.
"Old Chief, long time no see." Xu Zhengjun made his way through the crowd, approached Wang Simin, and said warmly, "I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but I've been so busy with work that I've put it off until today."
Wang Simin narrowed his eyes and carefully studied Xu Zhengjun. The atmosphere became awkward, and Xu Zhengjun's expression grew increasingly grim.
"So it's Zheng Jun." Wang Simin said slowly, "I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't recognize you."
If Xu Zhengjun truly cared about Wang Simin, he would have visited him the moment Wang Simin returned to Beijing. He simply felt he might not be reinstated, and he was feeling complacent. Wang Simin saw through his thoughts.
His gaze passed Xu Zhengjun and fell on Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan looked stunned, and Wang Simin smiled, this time with a much more sincere smile.
"Comrade Xu Qingshan, hello! I didn't expect we'd meet again."
Xu Qingshan hadn't expected such a coincidence. The "Chief Wang" his father had mentioned turned out to be Wang Simin. He searched the sea, making sure he hadn't offended him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you staring at? Are you surprised?" Wang Simin said with a smile, "It's boring to hang out with old guys like us. Let me introduce you to some friends. Young people have more things to talk about when they get together."
Wang Simin turned and ordered the guard: "Xiao Cui, please ask Junshan and Shuning to come over."
Xu Qingshan's hands and feet were in a panic, and his tone was full of pleading: "Commander Wang, some things are not our original intention. Please don't implicate individuals in the mistakes of the times."
Xu Qingshan knew exactly how Chen Shuning treated Wang Simin. Could it be that Wang Simin was deliberately trying to trick Guo Junshan and Chen Shuning by appearing here?
"Haha..." Wang Simin said with a smile, "You misunderstood! Shuning is my granddaughter-in-law."
Xu Qingshan's eyes widened with shock. He leaned over to Xu Zhengjun's ear and asked, "Dad, what's going on? Doesn't Commander Wang have no children?"
How did Chen Shuning become Chief Wang's granddaughter-in-law? Who is his grandson? Could it be Guo Junshan?
"Commander Wang has found his long-lost son. He now has a family. You just came back from the countryside, so it's normal that you don't know."
Guo Junshan and Chen Shuning came together. Wang Simin introduced them with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is Political Commissar Xu Zhengjun."
"This is my grandson Guo Junshan and his granddaughter-in-law Chen Shuning."
Xu Zhengjun extended his hand and said with a smile, "Comrade Guo Junshan, I've seen you in the newspaper. You've solved many major cases. You're quite accomplished at such a young age!"
"Commissar Xu, thank you for the compliment!"
