Peter stumbled in and ran in, waving a newspaper in his hand: "Great victory, great victory, great victory in China, great victory in Northeast China, North Korea, and great victory in Taiwan!"
"Pete..." Yu Yun stopped him with a smile: "Look at you, you are always so reckless and impulsive. Don't forget, you are about to run for the California Senate. Why are you always so reckless?"
Pete scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited. (Full text e-book free download) Look at today's newspaper. Wang commanded his army to defeat the Japanese army in Northeast China, North Korea, and Taiwan.
.The three lands were restored. God, it’s amazing, it’s amazing. Ever since I’ve known the king, he’s always gained victory from one victory to another..."
Yu Yun took the newspaper and read it very carefully, for fear of missing any point.
Although she has always shown a maturity that belies her age, no one can understand her true inner feelings...
She is eager to see and hear any news related to China. This is a huge encouragement to herself in a foreign country!
But she can't show her feelings in front of others...
Putting down the newspaper calmly, Yu Yun smiled faintly: "Yes, our army always wins. As long as Commander Heng is here, our army will never fail..."
Peter nodded vigorously.
He likes China as a country, and even more likes Wang Hengyue, a big boss who always likes to exploit his own wages. He hopes to see news about Wang and China in newspapers every day...
"Peter, sit down." Yu Yun said suddenly.
Peter sat down obediently. He was the one who listened to Yu Yun the most.
Yu Yun was silent for a moment: "I'm ready to get you married..."
Peter was startled, and then said ecstatically: "God, Yun, are you finally willing to marry me? God, God, I have been waiting for this day for too long!"
Yu Yun looked at Peter with a smile, and then said word by word: "It's not me."
Peter's cheers stopped. He looked at Yu Yun blankly, and then said loudly: "No, it's not you. I don't want to marry anyone. I said I can wait for you, and I can wait for ten or twenty years."
Holding you!"
"Pete!" Yu Yun's voice was unmistakable: "You are going to run for local senator, then you will run for U.S. Senate, and finally you will run for U.S. President! This is the path I have designed for you. (Full text e-book
Free download) I am a Chinese. Although the United States maintains a very close alliance with China, it is difficult for Americans to accept that the wife of a future American president is a foreigner, at least for now...
....”
Peter was stunned and couldn't say a word, but his eyes were full of sadness.
He loves Yu Yun so much that he is willing to give up anything for her. The senator and future president of the United States are worthless to him compared with the woman he loves!
But Yu Yun didn't seem to notice this. In her heart, her future is more important than love... For her future, she can give up anything, and nothing is important...
Peter really wanted to tell Yu Yun that he did not want to be a high official, he just wanted to accompany his beloved woman back to China...
But Yu Yun will definitely not listen...
"Peter, we still have a future..." Yu Yun's words suddenly gave Pete great hope: "But not now, for your future, we must sacrifice some things, including love..."
Peter fell silent, but hope burned again in his heart.
He regarded this as a promise made by Yu Yun to himself. "We still have a future..." As long as he does everything according to Yu Yun's instructions, then he can marry his beloved.
woman.
"I promise you, Peter." Yu Yun said very seriously: "I will definitely marry you in the future, I promise!"
Peter listened carefully, and then nodded vigorously: "I believe you, I have never doubted you, I will wait for you, and I will do whatever you say!"
Although he said this, his heart was full of bitterness...
A smile appeared on Yu Yun's face again: "Okay, let's get down to business. I have arranged a marriage for you. It's Miss Evans Kim Mary whom you met a few times ago."
"What? Mary?" Peter shouted: "God, that woman with freckles? No, no, this is really terrible!"
Yu Yun smiled brightly: "Pete, Mary may look ordinary, but his grandfather Ivins Sr. is a former senator, and his father Ivins Jr. is the current senator in Congress. Their family has great influence.
Little Ivins only has one daughter, Mary. If you become his son-in-law, it will have an extremely important impact on your future..."
"I will have nightmares when I think about sleeping with such a woman every night." Pete couldn't help but muttered.
"Okay, at least Mary has a very gentle personality." Yu Yun comforted her with kind words: "Tomorrow you can invite Mary to an outing, and then take advantage of that time to propose to her. I have observed several times that Mary is full of affection for you.
I believe your proposal will be successful..."
Peter sighed and nodded helplessly...
Peter likes Yu Yun, but Yu Yun will not marry him, at least for now. But Mary is different. She has already fallen in love with this young man who is very famous in the United States.
When Peter had the guts to propose to Mary, Mary agreed without any hesitation and even cried excitedly.
The Ivins family is also very satisfied with Pete.
"Miracle Pete", "Lucky Pete", "Mirpens Miracle Creator"... All kinds of magical auras in the European War have shrouded Pete.
An upright and brave American young man can definitely become a member of the Ivins family.
Moreover, little Ivins has no son, and Pete is preparing to run for local senator, which is exactly the same as the Ivins family's political ideals.
It would be great to have such a son-in-law to inherit the glorious tradition of the Ivins family...
After a brief discussion, Old Ivins and Little Ivins quickly agreed to the marriage.
That day, Old Ivins also said meaningfully to Peter: "Mr. Cornwell, congratulations on becoming a member of the Ivins family. In fact, I know why you want to marry my daughter, because you want to use the Ivins family to
Huge political influence to add a heavy weight to your campaign..."
Pete was a little embarrassed to have someone see through his mind. But Old Ivins said disapprovingly: "It's nothing. Choosing the quickest shortcut is an American tradition. It was also the American tradition that I was able to successfully embark on the political path.
You adopted a political marriage, and now you are just continuing on my old path, and no one needs to blame you for this..."
Peter felt slightly relieved, and Old Ivins added: "The only thing I hope is that you can be nicer to Mary. After all, she will become your wife and will be of great help to you. You are young and full of energy.
Vigorous, never married, and an American hero, I believe you have a bright future."
"Don't worry, Mr. Evans, I will regard Mary as the best wife in the world." When Peter said this, the shadow of Yu Yun appeared in his heart again for some reason.
Little Evans laughed on the side: "Mr. Cornwell, let's discuss the details of the wedding now..."
On October 16, 1923, the thirty-three-year-old Cornwell S. Pitt finally got married. His wife was the only daughter of the American celebrity and political family Ivins Jr. and the only son of the elder Ivins.
granddaughter:
Twenty-six-year-old Evans Kim Mary!
This marriage caused a sensation in California and the entire United States.
One is a hero in the European War: "Miracle Pete", "Lucky Pete", "Mirpens Miracle Maker" and the other is a woman from a political family. This combination is perfect in the eyes of Americans!
Congratulations to the newlyweds came from all over the United States, and even some heavyweights in the Democratic Party, the old rival of the Republican Party to which the Ivins family belongs, also expressed their congratulations.
At the same time, Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China who was far away in China and whom Peter considered his best friend in his life, also sent a congratulatory message.
The congratulatory message was full of emotion.
Wang Hengyue recalled the scenes when Peter fought side by side with him in China, praised Peter's bravery in the war, and hoped that Peter and Mary could be happy and grow old together. He also expressed his regret that he could not attend the wedding of his good friend.
.....
Peter treasured this telegram and kept it forever...
On the wedding day, Peter kept looking around, hoping to see a person:
Yu Yun!
But he was disappointed. Yu Yun did not show up. She did not want to disturb Peter's wedding.
Do you like Pete? Yu Yun sometimes asks himself this question.
Or maybe I really like Peter, but it doesn't mean anything. I came to the United States with a mission. Things like feelings can be completely put aside.
Local Senator, Congressional Senator, then President of the United States…
Wang Hengyue has planned everything for Peter's future. The plan cannot be changed and no one can destroy it.
And the specific person who carried out all this was Yu Yun! This young girl, but just like her brother, was full of ability and wisdom.
Wang Hengyue's plan finally took a very important step!
