As he was thinking, the head of Guan had already made way to reveal an elderly man surrounded by several young men not far behind him.
The man was about sixty years old, his hair was white, his face was carved with the marks of age, but not old, the whole person’s energy was even better than the head of the Guan, looking towards them, the gaze was not angry, inexplicably gave a sense of oppression.
Amelia Bright even felt that the air pressure around her was low.
She couldn’t help but tighten her hand holding the wheelchair.
Farren Austin, as a junior and a subordinate two levels lower, should have saluted, but he did not move, just saluted from afar.
Chief Liu obviously saw it, but his gaze was very cold, as if he was ignoring it, and continued to talk to the people around him.
Chief Guan was puzzled for a moment, as if he had just remembered something, and the smile on his face stiffened for a few moments.
“I won’t be going over.” Farren Austin’s tone was light.
“Good,” the head of Guan responded quickly, “there are a lot of people over there, you are not well so don’t go to the hustle and bustle.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Chief Guan left, and quiet finally settled around him.
The incident three years ago is a scandal, the circle of people who know the inside story is not much, most people for the Austin family and the Liu family, the two families of the stalemate is not much concept, after all, a south and a north, usually very little intersection.
Amelia Bright followed behind Farren Austin and greeted the military one by one, and when a reporter finished taking pictures, these polite pleasantries came to an end.
“Farren.”
The voice of a middle-aged woman, about forty-five years old, dressed in a blue suit, smiled kindly.
“I was just chatting with some of my inner family members, if not for old Guan telling me I wouldn’t have known you had arrived, so I hurried to say hello,” said the woman, glancing behind Farren Austin, smiling slightly.
“This is the younger sibling?”
Farren Austin nodded, “Amelia, this is Mrs. Guan.”
“Just call her sister-in-law. Although our Guan is more than twenty years older than Farren, she was also a comrade in the war, a friend from the past.”
Mrs. Guan’s personality is very bright, Amelia Bright will not be pretentious, and called out ‘sister-in-law.
“Brother Farren’s wife is really beautiful.”
The voice that spoke came from behind Mrs. Guan, a graceful woman wearing a pink ol style professional suit with a blue work tag around her neck, and she didn’t need an introduction to know that she was Mrs. Guan’s niece who was a journalist.
Amelia Bright, however, felt that this woman looked at herself with some inexplicable hostility.
“This is my niece Alice Paisley, who should have been called Uncle, but I’m used to calling her Farren since I was a child, and now I can’t change it.”
Mrs. Guan explained clearly, but Amelia Bright felt a bit of a desire to cover up the meaning.
A woman to a man how to call, which is a lot of the doorway.
“By the way, isn’t there an interview? Before the banquet starts, you guys go ahead.”
Amelia Bright glanced at Farren Austin.
“I’ll go first then.”
Farren Austin nodded slightly, “Adjutant Xun, you go along.”
“No need for that,” Alice Paisley spoke up first, meaningfully.
“The first thing you need to do is to send Adjutant Xun to follow me, for your sake I won’t give her a hard time.
After saying that, she took Amelia Bright’s hand and left Adjutant Xun behind without saying anything.
“I’ll just walk by myself.”
After walking for a while, Amelia Bright tried to pull out her hand.
Alice Paisley did not let go of her hand and spoke in an odd manner, “Brother Farren seems to care about you a lot, fearing that you might get into trouble, you can follow me well and not get lost.”
Even if the banquet hall is big, it is not necessary to lose a person, right? Besides, she is not without a mouth, is lost, she will not ask someone? On average, there is a waiter and a security guard every five steps here.
Looking at Alice Paisley’s back in front of her, Amelia Bright’s eyes were a little cold.
In the interview lounge, the cameraman has set up his machine.
Amelia Bright sat on the sofa, rubbed her wrist that was just scratched red, and looked down at the interview script Alice Paisley’s assistant gave her in advance.
The questions on it are very official, a total of ten or so questions, most of them are similar to whether being a military wife would feel hard and so on.
Once the lights were set, Alice Paisley sat diagonally across from her and smiled professionally at the camera.
“This is the banquet scene, I’m reporter Alice Paisley, and this next to me is Ms. Bright, a family member of Deputy Military Commander Hounslow, Ms. Bright, say hello to the audience in front of the camera.”
Amelia Bright had participated in the program, so it was easier to distinguish which camera was facing her on the spot, and immediately adjusted her expression and said hello as requested.
After the preamble, it was time for the official interview.
“I would like to ask Ms. Bright a few questions on behalf of the viewers who care about the Hounslow Vice Military District, is that okay?”
“Sure.”
“Here’s the thing, we all know that your husband was injured during an exercise and as a result, he is now unable to walk properly on both legs, but even so, he still insists on arriving to participate in combat training every day for several years, do you worry about his health?”
Alice Paisley’s words were not finished when Amelia Bright glanced at the manuscript on the coffee table and secretly clenched her hand.
There was no such article in the script.
The fact that Farren Austin was wounded in the exercise, he is now a civilian in charge of political commissar work, only party affairs and political relations, but because of the special circumstances, so he has actually been doing the work of combat command.
Alice Paisley the meaning of this statement is obviously questioning Farren Austin’s ability.
After a few seconds of silence, Amelia Bright raised her head and looked at Alice Paisley with a very strong gaze
“As a wife I am worried, but as a military wife I know I should not worry, he grew up in Hounslow military district, no one is more affectionate than him to the military district, and no one knows better than him how to train the military district soldiers and even the special operations team members, even though he can not do much now, but he also still play a residual role in the military district, after all, his combat experience can be passed on directly to those who come after him.”
Alice Paisley froze for a moment, as if she hadn’t expected to organize such a drip-feed of answers in such a short period of time.
After that, several more questions were asked, all with explicit and implicit traps in place, and Amelia Bright defused them all.
“As expected of a family member of a supreme commander, the awareness of the mind is still very high,”
Alice Paisley smiled faintly, and suddenly the conversation turned.
“These questions are not really meaningful, the audience should be more interested in seeing the ordinary side of you, I’m just curious, how did you fall in love with your husband?”
