Chapter 796: Everyone Is From The Special Forces

Qu Mingyi led his wife as they stood up and introduced her to Zhong Nuannuan, “That’s right. This is my wife, Yang Min. You shouldn’t call her something that sounds so distant like Mrs. Qu. We’ve known each other for quite a while. You can call her Auntie Yang.”

Zhong Nuannuan smiled and nodded. She said sweetly, “h.e.l.lo, Auntie Yang.”

Yang Min reciprocated with a smile and a nod. “h.e.l.lo, Nuannuan. I’ve been eager to treat you guys to a meal, but I’ve been feeling unwell for the past two days. Maybe in about two days, when I’m feeling better, I hope to invite you, Chi Yang, and Chi Yang’s grandfather to a meal. What do you think?”

Seeing that Nuannuan’s gaze was not focused on her, Yang Min felt a little awkward. Chi Yang, who sat next to her, noticed the situation and muttered into Zhong Nuannuan’s ear, “Nuannuan, what’s wrong?”

Only then did Nuannuan return to her senses. She met Yang Min’s gaze and responded, “Auntie Yang, I’m sorry. When you were talking to me just now, I seemed to have seen an old acquaintance, so I got distracted. Alright, when Auntie Yang gets better, we should all eat together. We’re already so close with Uncle Qu, and since Auntie Yang is also one of us, there’s no need to be overly polite.

“Also, I heard that Auntie Yang used to be a soldier in the special forces too. Later on, you were transferred to the emba.s.sy in Sab for your outstanding feats in every aspect. You’re a senior who can be compared to a heroine, and I respect people like you the most.”

Yang Min was amused by Nuannuan’s words. “No, no. I haven’t been training for a long while now. Now that I’m old, I can’t withstand all that anymore, just like our Old Qu here.”

Stunned, Zhong Nuannuan looked at Qu Mingyi. “So, Uncle Qu is skilled in the martial arts too!”

“Little Girl Nuan, do you really think so lowly of me? Ask your Uncle Leng. How good am I in martial arts?”

Leng Jinpeng pursed his lips. “He was slightly inferior to me when he was younger. Now…”

Qu Mingyi immediately replied, “I’m a little bit stronger than you now.”

Leng Jinpeng laughed and said, “That’s because I’m sick and my martial strength has been weakened. When I recover one day, why don’t we find out if you can beat me?”

“Sure, you can give it a try.” Then, he looked at Zhong Nuannuan. “Little Girl Nuan, can you really cure the commander-in-chief’s illness?”

“Of course. I believe in Nuannuan.” Before Nuannuan could say anything, Leng Jinpeng spoke first.

Nuannuan smiled and added, “Maintaining a healthy and optimistic mindset is the best way to treat your illness.”

Yang Min nodded with a smile. “Yes, I think so too.”

After saying that, Nuannuan turned to Chi Yang and said, “Big Brother Chi Yang, I think I saw someone I know over there. Come with me.”

The auction had already started, and the lights below the stage were already dimmed. It was easy to stumble in a gown. Furthermore, since Nuannuan had voiced her request, Chi Yang would definitely agree.

Thus, Chi Yang left with Nuannuan.

Originally, they had come to attend the auction as a member of the auctioneers, and they had no plans to bid for any items. There was no fear of missing out or delays.

On the stage, the auction for some valuable antiques, jewelry, and jade had started.

Since it was an auction meant for public interest, the proceeds of the auction would become donations. On that account, unless they had some sort of special relations with the military base, most people would not offer anything too valuable.

Meanwhile, the truly wealthy families would not care about these insignificant items. In previous auctions, most of the items getting auctioned were insignificant items donated by truly wealthy families. Ironically, these rich people from Jiang District would have that look of pride on their faces after obtaining these items from the auction.
