“That’s right, Jin Yu, you’re very thoughtful. With family like that, Meng Yingxin can’t expect to have a good life!”

Xu Chunyan and Zhao Jinyu got together and vented their jealousy and dissatisfaction by talking badly about Meng Yingxin.

I'll curse Meng Yingxin for whatever bad luck she may have.

It's as if repeating it a few more times will somehow make all these bad things happen to them.

Hu Yunxiang couldn't listen anymore. Although she used to join Xu Chunyan and Zhao Jinyu in talking badly about Meng Yingxin, she gradually woke up after the party and realized that it was wrong.

"Stop talking! If Commander Qiao's men hear you, you'll be in big trouble!" Hu Yunxiang warned.

However, her good intentions were seen by Xu Chunyan and Zhao Jinyu as evidence that she wanted to curry favor with Meng Yingxin.

"Pah! Hu Yunxiang, what are you pretending to be a good person for? Have you forgotten how you used to stand with us against Meng Yingxin? Now you're saying a few nice words for her and you think nothing happened?" Xu Chunyan stared at her and said fiercely.

Hu Yunxiang never even considered that.

When Meng Yingxin left, it was very clear that she wanted to sever ties with them; she wouldn't be so presumptuous as to think she could still be friends with anyone.

"I'm just reminding you, take it or leave it." Hu Yunxiang wanted to leave, too lazy to argue with the two of them.

"Tch! What are you pretending for? Let me tell you, even if Meng Yingxin really is with a regimental commander, it's only a matter of time before she gets dumped!" Xu Chunyan cursed.

Hu Yunxiang: "..."

She was too lazy to talk to them anymore.

Xu Chunyan and Zhao Jinyu were completely blinded by hatred, even though Hu Yunxiang did not understand what Meng Yingxin had done to make them hate her to this extent.

Is it simply because Meng Yingxin is just too beautiful?

Besides, if Meng Yingxin really was dating Commander Qiao, or even married him, how could she be so easily rejected and abandoned as they say?

Commander Qiao and Meng Yingxin are both soldiers. This is a military marriage. How can they just break up like that?

ignorance!

Meng Yingxin was completely unaware of this; she simply tried her best to spend more time eating and taking walks with Qiao Shouyan.

The two agreed that, barring unforeseen circumstances, they would have lunch together in the cafeteria and then take a walk together in the residential compound after dinner.

What kind of place is the family compound?

It's full of military personnel or military dependents who have come to live there.

Everyone knew each other and was familiar with each other. If any news got out to one person, it would quickly spread throughout the entire compound. It was a place where there were no secrets at all.

Qiao Shouyan and Meng Yingxin spent a few days together and were run into by many people from the compound.

"Oh my, Commander Qiao, are you taking a walk with your sweetheart?! I've heard you've been dating for ages, and she's a really pretty girl. Now that I see her, she's absolutely gorgeous! You're so lucky!" the old woman said.

Qiao Shouyan smiled sheepishly.

If he were alone, he wouldn't mind encountering this old lady, but Meng Yingxin is still here, and he really doesn't know how to deal with such teasing.

Meng Yingxin, on the other hand, was open and honest, and gave the other person a smile.

That smile made her already stunning beauty even more captivating.

"She's so beautiful, like a fairy! Commander Qiao, what's your girlfriend's name?" the old woman asked with concern.

“Her name is Meng Yingxin, and she’s in the same unit as me,” Qiao Shouyan said, looking at Meng Yingxin again and introducing her to the old lady. “This is Battalion Commander Wu’s mother, who also lives in the compound.”

"Hello, Aunt Wu." Meng Yingxin greeted her in a very natural and generous manner.

"Good, good! You two have such a good relationship!" The old lady smiled broadly.

Speaking of which, the two brothers, Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang, were considered the most sought-after in the compound, given their good looks, family background, and jobs.

Many of the wives who came to accompany the soldiers still thought about their own sisters and wanted to introduce their relatives to the Qiao brothers so that they could get closer to the Qiao family, but they never succeeded.

Even so, these people did not give up.

It wasn't until Qiao Shouyan openly brought Meng Yingxin in and out of the family compound that these aunties saw Meng Yingxin and learned that she was also in the military, and they finally had to give up.

Meng Yingxin is beautiful, capable, and a perfect match for Qiao Shouyan. How can I even introduce her?

The older women joked when they saw the two young people, saying that they had a good relationship and that good things were coming soon!

The younger military wives, upon seeing this, would ask them when they planned to get married.

"Hey girl, let me remind you, you'd better hurry up and find a good man!"

Meng Yingxin lowered her head, but smiled without saying a word.

She could sense that these people were all well-intentioned. Although there was an element of gossip and jokes, they weren't annoying.

"Commander Qiao, I also have to remind you, there aren't many girls as beautiful and capable as Yingxin, so you'd better hurry up! You should make your move when the time is right. When are you planning to get married? You'll have to invite me over to share in your joy!" the military wife joked.

Both men blushed deeply as the married woman boldly teased them.

But Qiao Shouyan was a man, and he couldn't just stay silent because someone was teasing him; he had to stand in front of Meng Yingxin.

"Sister-in-law, when we can get married depends on Yingxin's wishes, but I promise you, I will definitely invite you to the wedding," Qiao Shouyan said.

"Okay, then I'll remember that, sister-in-law. Yingxin, hurry up!" the military wife said.

"Mmm," Meng Yingxin nodded, still very shy, "It should be soon..."

As she spoke, she gave Qiao Shouyan a coquettish glance.

"Oh my, you two lovebirds!" The military wife watched the interaction between the two and realized that they were indeed in love and it seemed that good things were just around the corner!

"I think there will be a happy event in the compound soon!"

Hearing Meng Yingxin say "it will be soon," Qiao Shouyan was overjoyed!

He had been planning this for a while, but he didn't know what Meng Yingxin was thinking. He hadn't tried to find out, so he didn't dare to act rashly. What if she didn't want to get married so early?

Besides, the weapons research group has a lot of work to do. Perhaps, after what happened with the previous generation, Meng Yingxin plans to establish her career first?

"Yingxin, don't be angry. These military wives and aunties all mean well and have no bad intentions," Qiao Shouyan said nervously, while his mind was already on proposing.

"Why would I be angry? Besides, I can tell the difference between good intentions and bad intentions," Meng Yingxin said, feeling embarrassed to even look at Qiao Shouyan.

When the military wife asked about marriage, she could have remained silent, and people would have just assumed she was shy and wouldn't have thought it was impolite.
