Su Yueya had overheard some of the conversations among her family members during the previous promotion ceremony and knew that they were intentionally preventing Liu Dekai from getting promoted.

But the entire promotion ceremony wasn't controlled by their family members; there were also so many free votes.

All I can say is that if Liu Dekai had the ability and the support of the people, this situation would never have occurred, especially with his father-in-law doing his utmost to get him tickets.

This outcome shows that Liu Dekai is completely unpopular and has no chance of being promoted.

How come you're blaming yourself?

Su Yueya will not engage in internal strife, nor will she take the blame.

"You failed to get promoted, and instead of reflecting on your own problems, you come to the medical department to make a scene?" Su Yueya made no attempt to hide her joy and retorted sharply, "Liu Dekai, don't you know why you can't be promoted?"

"You—" Liu Dekai was speechless with anger.

He didn't expect that Su Yueya would actually ask him a question with such confidence, without realizing how immoral or despicable her actions were.

"Su Yueya, I never expected you to be such a shameless person. How did you become like this?" Liu Dekai asked angrily, displeased.

Su Yueya: "..."

Well, you may not be good at anything else, but you're quite adept at using moral blackmail.

Unfortunately, Su Yueya, who was pampered and nurtured by her family, was not susceptible to Liu Dekai's tactics and would not be persuaded to reflect on her own actions or doubt herself by his few words.

"What do you mean?" Su Yueya was genuinely not angry at all; she could even laugh, precisely rubbing salt into Liu Dekai's wounds. "Liu Dekai, you are completely unworthy of your position. Forget about being a battalion commander; how did you even get to your current position as deputy battalion commander? Do I need to remind you?"

"You've taken a few shortcuts and gotten addicted? Then you fail at taking shortcuts and start making a huge scene, acting like the whole world owes you something, right? Why don't you look in the mirror and see the clown you're behaving like now?"

"Want a promotion? Sure, but you'll get it when your merits and abilities truly deserve the position of battalion commander. Right now? Keep dreaming!"

"To tell you the truth, I have never told my family that I would not promote you. So why didn't the vast majority of people vote for you? Haven't you reflected on that?"

"Liu Dekai, the person who truly has no sense of shame is not me."

Su Yueya didn't want to say these things to Liu Dekai; to be precise, she didn't want to have anything to do with this person anymore.

After regaining her memories at Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai's wedding and recalling everything from the past, she made a choice: she never wanted to have anything to do with him again.

In every subsequent entanglement, she never took the initiative.

If Liu Dekai hadn't lost the election and gone crazy by causing trouble at the medical department, Su Yueya wouldn't have stabbed him in the heart. It was Liu Dekai's own foolishness that led him to offer himself up for humiliation.

"you--"

"What about me?" Su Yueya asked with a smile, and was even happier to see Liu Dekai unable to utter a complete sentence after being rebuked by her.

Liu Dekai's face turned a deep purplish-red, it was hard to tell whether it was anger, shame, or both.

"Su Yueya, don't go too far!" Liu Dekai pointed at her nose and scolded.

"Is that so?" Su Yueya retorted arrogantly, "I've gone too far, so what can you do about it?"

"Let me tell you, you can't target me. You can't keep me from getting promoted forever—"

“Yes,” Su Yueya interrupted him, continuing to poke at his heart, “After all, you still have your father-in-law backing you up, don’t you? Then why did you fail to get promoted twice and come to the medical department to cause trouble and make trouble for me?”

"Su Yueya, you're too arrogant!"

"Then go ahead and report me?" Su Yueya found it ridiculous.

If Liu Dekai really dared to report it, or had a better way to vent his anger, he would definitely not be in the medical department right now.

It was precisely because he had no other options that he came here to act crazy.

Completely loser behavior.

He wanted to vent all his resentment over failing to get promoted on himself.

Su Yueya was not going to be taken advantage of, nor would she tolerate his inexplicable behavior.

If he wanted to vent, then she would make him even more unhappy!

"You—" Liu Dekai was speechless after being repeatedly rebuked. He pointed at Su Yueya's face, but dared not do anything to her. He was even more furious than when he rushed over. "Unreasonable, shrew!"

Liu Dekai was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he stormed off.

Su Yueya: "..."

Is it because they can't find anything to say that they start randomly calling her a shrew?

How ridiculous!

Instead of being attacked, she felt particularly happy—although her mother would definitely tell her the good news that Liu Dekai had failed to get promoted when she got home, Liu Dekai's personal visit to "report the good news" allowed her to experience the joy ahead of time, and her good mood lasted all day!

Xu Luxin and Xie Ziai did not eavesdrop on purpose, but Su Yueya did not deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, so they also heard their conversation.

"No wonder he came here acting like he'd been bitten by a dog." Xie Ziai came out from inside, no longer as angry as before.

"His failure to get promoted has nothing to do with you. Why are you coming to find him?" Xu Luxin asked, puzzled.

They had no intention of digging into Su Yueya's private affairs, but Liu Dekai came to cause trouble several times. From his words, many people in the medical department roughly understood that they had a grudge against each other.

"He felt he failed mainly because my mother and my husband's brothers didn't vote for him, so he blamed me," Su Yueya explained in one sentence.

Xie Ziai: "..."

"He doesn't think that he can get promoted every time just by having a few people and a few votes, does he?" Xu Luxin was genuinely surprised.

Although Liu Yuying, as a division commander, could indeed bring a lot of votes, with such a large base of votes, this number of votes was not absolutely indispensable to influence the outcome. For example, today, Liu Dekai almost succeeded.

Ultimately, what determines the outcome is people's hearts.

Mo Chengtai's care for Liu Dekai, while enabling Liu Dekai to advance quickly in the early stages, also caused him to be disliked by most of the soldiers, which was the real reason.

After all, even if someone like him, who rose through nepotism, has the ability, there will still be people who disapprove of him.

After all, he was running for deputy battalion commander, and among the deputy battalion commanders, which one didn't have some ability?

They have no connections, and their military achievements will only be more numerous than his!

Unfortunately, people like Mo Cheng and Liu Dekai will never reflect on their own actions; they will only attribute the outcome to the jealousy of others.

"He's out of his mind. It's a disgrace to the military that someone like him could be promoted!" Xie Ziai commented.
