Chapter 231 China Sues Japan and the United States in the International Court of Justice!
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Is something on your mind?" Knowing that Jiang Chengcheng didn't want to leave him, Sirius realized what was going on and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's just that I saw a lot of patients today, and it made me realize how short life is. Maybe one day will be the last time we meet. If that day really comes, wouldn't you be very scared?" Jiang Chengcheng didn't directly express her worries, but put it another way.
"...Chengcheng, I can't find a completely correct way to deal with what you're saying, but I think people don't need to worry about things that haven't happened yet. As long as we cherish the present, are not afraid of the future, and don't dwell on the past, we can always live more freely than most people. What we are going to lose, we will eventually lose. Do you understand what I mean?" After a moment of silence, Sirius said something that sounded like a comforting remark, but he was still a little worried about Jiang Chengcheng's condition.
“You’re right…” Jiang Chengcheng didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore, because if she talked about it too much, Sirius would inevitably worry.
"Chengcheng, I will take good care of myself, and so will you, because I want to see you again, and I want to be able to see you again." Although Sirius didn't understand why Jiang Chengcheng would suddenly ask this question, he still responded to Jiang Chengcheng in his own way.
"Yeah! I will, after all, you still owe me a sky-high dowry of 18.8 yuan!" Jiang Chengcheng said to Sirius while she happened to be watching a video about dowries on Douyin, so she couldn't help but tease him.
"Bride price?" Although Sirius was the governor of Country C, he didn't know everything and didn't react for a moment when he heard these two words.
"Don't you need a wedding gift in your country E?" Jiang Chengcheng was also a little surprised to hear this. After all, although the terms used in different countries are different, there are still some that people don't know.
"Oh, you mean betrothal gifts? We have those here too, but usually the woman gives them to the man." Sirius realized what Jiang Chengcheng meant and suddenly felt like teasing her, so he said jokingly.
"Hmm? Then go marry your C country beauty!" Jiang Chengcheng said, then slammed down the phone!
She was even thinking about their future marriage, planning to prepare a dowry of several hundred million!
In Chinese parlance, she's practically throwing herself at him in marriage!
Jiang Chengcheng looked at the phone after it had been disconnected, counting down three, two, one, and sure enough, another call came in.
"Chengcheng, sweetie, I was just kidding, don't be angry. How can 188,000 be enough for our Chengcheng? We need at least 1.88 billion to marry her!" Sirius was afraid that Jiang Chengcheng would be angry, so he quickly surrendered.
"Go away! You're so glib! I'm angry at your attitude, not selling myself! Why would I need 1.88 billion? Besides, after we get married, your money will be mine!" Jiang Chengcheng scolded Sirius a few times, but didn't hold it against him anymore. She had only hung up the phone to scare him.
“It’s not about selling yourself, it’s about you being worth it, worth whatever it takes!” Sirius replied earnestly without backing down when he heard Jiang Chengcheng’s words.
"...You're quite the smooth talker." Jiang Chengcheng blushed and felt her heart race at Sirius's words, but she was also quite pleased with herself.
.........
“You deserve it too…” After a moment of silence, Jiang Chengcheng responded hesitantly in a very soft voice.
"What?" Sirius only heard Jiang Chengcheng speaking on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't quite make out what she was saying.
"It's nothing! It's late! You should go to sleep! I'm hanging up!" Jiang Chengcheng knew that Sirius hadn't heard her, but she didn't want to say it a second time.
Shortly after the two hung up the phone, Jiang Chengcheng turned off the lights and went to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep because of the issues they had just discussed.
marry…
Will they really have such a day?
That day seemed so far away from them, so far that they had no hope of ever seeing it again…
One is the leader-general of a country.
One is a key national scientific researcher.
It's already quite extraordinary that two people can fall in love.
Country C would never allow its leader to marry a foreigner, and China would never want its scientific research talents to be lured away by another country.
The reason we're not stopping her now is simply because we feel Jiang Chengcheng is still young and unsettled, and we'll break up with her someday.
As a Chinese citizen, Jiang Chengcheng could not possibly marry Sirius and settle in Country C without any burden.
China is still in a stage of rapid development, and she cannot abandon the land that gave her birth and nurtured her because of personal feelings. But if this continues and Sirius and she are separated for a long time, will they be able to maintain their original feelings...?
Jiang Chengcheng didn't sleep well that night; her mind seemed to be filled with endless dreams.
…………
Time flies by.
With the Chinese New Year approaching, Jiang Chengcheng and her family returned to their hometown, W City.
On this day, a major event that shocked the world occurred on the trending topics: China filed a lawsuit against Japan and the United States in the International Court of Justice!
The accusation alleges that Japan violated international law by illegally expanding Insect Bird Reef into an island!
…………
A few days ago, at the headquarters of the International Court of Justice in the land of windmills.
The Chinese representative, with a serious expression and cold gaze, looked at the Japanese and American representatives in the opposite seats, raised his hand and gently pressed down on the microphone to speak.
"We accuse Japan and the United States of serious violations of Article 35 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."
The National Parliament unilaterally passed an illegal bill to turn Okinotorishima from a reef into an island! The United States, in particular, has been aiding and abetting this wrongdoing and secretly supporting it!
This seriously undermines friendly and trusting exchanges between countries and further damages China's control over its maritime territory and related territorial claims! We urge Japan and the United States to immediately cease their actions and issue an apology!
The Chinese representative's accusations were forceful and his expression was one of righteous indignation, but the Japanese and American representatives sitting opposite him seemed unconcerned.
"Chinese representative, please watch your words! Article 35 of the United Nations Convention on the Protection of the Sea does not explicitly stipulate that states cannot reclaim land from the high seas to build islands!"
It only stipulates that islands cannot be built privately in the waters of other countries! The high seas do not belong to any country!
Moreover, Insect Bird Reef was awarded to Japan through the United Nations Conference! I remember that China also voted in favor at the time! So how Japan handles Insect Bird Reef is entirely a matter of state affairs! The American representative completely ignored the increasingly worse expression on the Chinese representative's face, speaking with increasing conviction and a hint of smugness in his expression!
"Representative of the United States, I remember that China voted in favor of the ownership of Insect Bird Reef by Japan, not for Japan to reclaim land and build islands on Insect Bird Reef! Please, representatives of the United States and Japan, do not try to distort the facts!" Hearing the shameless act of the representative of the United States, the Chinese representative was so angry that he laughed and retorted in a domineering manner!
Are they trying to fool China like they're idiots?
This fact is being distorted at will!
