But just after Cao Yue went to the army airfield to test drive the Mi-17, Cao Zhongyi suddenly decided not to inspect the island to comfort the garrison.

This surprised everyone, including Cao Yue and the officers and soldiers of the Army Aviation Regiment who had already prepared everything.

"Grandpa, why did you change your mind again?" When Cao Zhongyi announced this decision, Cao Yue couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Doesn't Chief No. 1 also want you to go to the island to comfort the garrison?"

"In extraordinary times, everything must be cautious, even if I go in this way, I will be said to be building momentum for whom, wanting to expand the influence of the Cao family in the army, or not going," Cao Zhongyi said with a little regret: "Xisha is the place where I once fought, I really want to go over and see, there is still my deeds displayed in the military history museum there." Alas, it seems that there is no chance to go again in this life. ”

"Grandpa, why don't I go and see it for you one day?" After Cao Yue glanced at Cao Zhongyi twice, he asked cautiously: "I'll take some photos and videos for you to see, so that you can see what the island has become now, so that you don't have regrets?"

"It's okay," Cao Zhongyi nodded, "Now that many islands are open to the outside world, you can just go as a tourist, don't make a big noise, and don't let people know that you are going to see it on my behalf." ”

"I understand," Cao Yue nodded in agreement, "When the time comes, I will charter a cruise ship to go to the islands of Sansha, and I will go up to see all the islands that I can go to, this sea area is really beautiful." ”

"Old man Lu and his granddaughter are coming tomorrow, you can make good arrangements. Cao Zhongyi changed the topic, "You saved the life of Old Man Lu's granddaughter, he has to say something." When the time comes, if he promises you any benefits, don't refuse, just accept it. ”

"Okay," Cao Yue promised again, "if he doesn't give it, I will ask him for it too." ”

"Hehe, if he proposes to marry his granddaughter Xu to you and let the Cao Lu family marry, how will you deal with it?" Cao Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Yue playfully, "If my expectations are good, Old Man Lu is likely to mention this idea." ”

Cao Yue didn't answer Cao Zhongyi's question, but asked rhetorically: "Grandpa, if this is really the case, then what is your attitude?"

"Stinky boy, I avoided this question by myself, but I came to ask me for the answer," Cao Zhongyi scolded with a smile, and then said seriously: "If you consider the overall situation, while the Li family is weak now, the Cao Lu family can maximize the benefits by uniting in a certain way." ”

Cao Yue was silent, it was about his marriage and feelings, he really didn't know what to say.

In fact, if you jump away from his relationship with Zheng Han, Cao Yue feels that letting the outside world know that he and Lu Changle may have a marriage contract, this kind of rumor is actually a good means to build momentum, which can make other families have a false impression. Let the people of the other major families know that the Cao Lu family may marry, and this will definitely make the other major families jealous, and they may not dare to compete with the Cao Lu family, at least when dealing with the Li family.

You don't have to be really engaged or engaged, just letting out such a rumor can achieve the effect.

Marriage is the best means of alliance, and there are too many successful precedents.

But if she does this, it will inevitably embarrass Zheng Han, after all, she is now appearing in public with the halo of the future granddaughter-in-law of the Cao family. If at this time, there is news that he and Lu Changle may be engaged, it will be a very big blow to Zheng Han's reputation.

It might even make her really sad.

Cao Yue is reluctant to have such a thing, no matter what kind of relationship he has with other women, the person he wants to marry is Zheng Han, and this will not waver.

Cao Yue is also worried about one point, that is, Lu Changle is likely to use this rumor to make some things into facts.

Cao Yue knew that Lu Changle wanted to replace Zheng Han and become his public girlfriend.

He believed that Lu Changle didn't really fall in love with him, or rather didn't fully fall in love with him. She wants to be his public girlfriend, but it is just for the benefit of reality and has her own special purpose.

And Lu Chengqi will also acquiesce in such a thing, and the purpose of Old Man Lu is not difficult to guess, that is, the Lu family wants to take this opportunity to gain more benefits, or to borrow the power of the Cao family to obtain benefits and eliminate the estrangement with the Cao family.

If he and Lu Changle change from ordinary friends to boyfriend and girlfriend, even if it is only rumored and does not go to the step of engagement or marriage contract, the benefits that the Lu family can get from it will be very large.

Originally, everyone thought that the Cao and Lu families were mortal enemies, and those who were inclined to the Cao family or loyal to the Cao family must be hostile to the Lu family. If there is news that the two families are going to marry, then the attitude of these people will definitely change, and there will be enough interests in it.

The people of the Lu family have done a lot of unforgivable things to him, if there are such rumors, then how can he take revenge on the Lu family? What can he do if he wants to put Lu Da back to death? If he takes revenge, what will other people think?

Also, a very important point, if there are such rumors, those people in the power center like Li Yongping will definitely be jealous, and maybe there will be a policy blow. Li Yongping will seek other ways to balance power, and trouble will follow.

"Grandpa, I know that if the Cao Lu family forms an alliance through marriage, the overall strength will be greatly increased, and other families will not be able to compete at all. But in this case, the Cao Lu family will also become the object of vigilance for all families, including the core leadership," Cao Yue said what he was worried about: "In that case, we may not gain more than we lose, if the Cao Lu family marries." ”

"Good boy, it's not easy to think of this," Cao Zhongyi's face showed praise, and he reached out and patted Cao Yue's shoulder heavily, "Then what do you think is the best way to do it?"

"Grandpa, although I know that it will be very good to spread the news that Lu Changle and I may be engaged, I still don't want such a thing to happen. I don't want Zheng Han to be sad and embarrassed, I want to marry her. If you want to marry her, you have to give her face. To give her face is to give me face to myself. The granddaughter-in-law of the Cao family should not have the opportunity to be slandered by rumors. ”

"What if Zheng Han is willing to accept such a situation?" Cao Zhongyi looked at Cao Yue with a smile, and did not immediately say his decision.

"I don't want that to happen because I'm a man. Men should protect their women," Cao Yue said categorically, "Therefore, I can accept that I often appear in public with Lu Changle, but I can't have rumors about marriage with her." ”

"You have a lot of women," Cao Zhongyi was a little angry when he said this, "how are you going to protect them?"

This made Cao Yue suddenly embarrassed, and the momentum brought by what he said just now instantly withered, and he could only say embarrassedly: "Grandpa, Zheng Han will be my wife in the future, so I want her to enjoy the same honor as me, which is also the face of the Cao family." If Old Man Lu has such a meaning, then I will explain the meaning to him in person. Also, I think that through other methods, Old Man Lu can be willing to help our Cao family, at least in these things now. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I cooperate with my grandfather to act!"
