Reborn on My Wedding Night: This Time, I Won't Fail My Soldier Husband
That meant Xie Shangjin did not recognize her now.
She had seen the finished version of Shen Tai's painting; only the features of the eyes were very distinct.
The lower half of the face wasn't painted at all, replaced by a wash of pigment that evoked the mood of distant mountains.
Even people who knew her couldn't be certain it was her, let alone someone who didn't.
Slowly, she calmed down and broadcast the news about Xie Shangjin in a steady, composed tone.
"Good morning, everyone. This is the broadcast station. Next, I will report a piece of business news for you. Hong Kong tycoon Xie Shangjin officially announced on August 25th that he will marry Yao Mingyue, the eldest daughter of the Yao family, one of the three major families of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. This..."
This marriage alliance would elevate both the Xie and Yao families to even greater heights.
And this union also meant that the commercial footprint of the Xie and Yao families in Hong Kong was about to expand into the mainland.
The mainland would certainly leverage the Xie family's desire to develop in the interior to propose conditions favorable to the mainland.
Since the island was a major trading hub and very close to Hong Kong, the Xie family could not bypass the island when entering the mainland.
Therefore, broadcasting this news within the military was intended to lay the groundwork for the future.
The Xie family's business in Hong Kong was so massive that it couldn't possibly be entirely clean.
Only if they were willing to help develop the island would the stationed troops cooperate with them.
Dong Shuyao felt a sense of urgency; it was as if she would have no sense of security unless she did something.
This unease persisted until the evening.
Lu Yuzhou held her and kissed her forehead: "Yaoyao, I saw Dad during this mission."
His own father had died in battle long ago, so this 'Dad' could only be Dong Shuyao's father.
"How could you have seen Dad? Was your mission related to him?"
Dong Shuyao knew her father was often on secret missions, and it was common for him not to come home for two or three years at a time.
It was precisely because she didn't receive her parents' care and love that she had acted out rebelliously and gone against her family.
