Chapter 221 Li Jiajia was ridiculed

Seeing Xia Mi's intense reaction, Li Jiajia quickly put down her chopsticks and patted Xia Mi on the back.

"Do you also think it's outrageous?"

Xia Mi covered her mouth and coughed, but did not forget to nod in response, her face flushed from coughing.

Huo Jingchen's eyes fell squarely on Li Jiajia, and a creepy feeling of oppression spread up her spine.

Li Jiajia's scalp tingled when she was stared at, and she felt aggrieved. She didn't do anything to Xia Mi, so it was Xia Mi's fault that she was choked.

Xia Mi took a while to relax, and her bronchi felt much better.

"How could the instructor make such a decision?"

Zhao Min heard Xia Mi coughing nearby and went to the kitchen to pour some warm water for her. "Xiao Mi, drink some water and eat slowly. Don't choke again."

"Thank you, Mom." Xia Mi took the water and thanked her.

Li Jiajia curled her lips and shook her head helplessly, "She said she was afraid that if I married someone else, I would be beaten to death. If I dated Shi Daqiang, the only one who would be beaten would be Shi Daqiang."

After hearing this, Xia Mi was glad that she didn't drink any more water.

The corners of her mouth turned up, and she couldn't stop smiling in her eyes.

It seems that the instructor understands Li Jiajia. She agrees with this marriage, but she doesn't know whether Shi Daqiang agrees or not.

The other side.

Today it was Shi Daqiang's turn to stand guard. He was wrapped tightly and wore a hat, with only his face exposed. Both ears were tightly covered by the hat.

"Daqiang, I heard the instructor wants to introduce Li Jiajia to you?"

Zhang Erqiao was helping to transport goods from the grocery store. When the cargo ship docked, he had a rare opportunity to rest. Seeing Shi Daqiang standing guard nearby, he thought of the rumors again.

“…”

Shi Daqiang said nothing, silently turned his eyes to another direction, and didn't react much to Zhang Erqiao's words.

"You are really good, kid. You are actually favored by the instructor. Now you are the instructor's son-in-law. You can expect a meteoric rise in your career." Zhang Erqiao's face was fake with happiness.

In Shi Daqiang's opinion, this smile was ninety percent mocking him.

Everyone knows Li Jiajia's personality. Someone in the army even joked that anyone who married the instructor's daughter would be unlucky in his life.

Shi Daqiang agreed at that time.

He never expected that the instructor would like him and even personally match him with Li Jiajia.

The soldiers who were traveling with Zhang Erqiao also joined in the conversation after finishing their work.

"Daqiang will never have a peaceful life in the future. Who would dare to marry Li Jiajia?"

Shi Daqiang couldn't help but retort, "Who said I was going to marry her? I've already rejected the instructor and made it clear that Li Jiajia and I are not suitable."

Zhang Erqiao pretended to be regretful, "Tsk tsk, you can even reject the instructor's daughter. Daqiang, your standards are still too high."

The people around him laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Speaking of which, no one in our army would be interested in this tough woman like Li Jiajia. If you ignore her personality, she's actually quite good. Her father is a political instructor and a doctor."

Shi Daqiang didn't know what was wrong, his mouth was one step faster than his brain.

"Aside from the difficulty in finding a husband, her personality isn't as bad as we thought. At least she won't put herself at a disadvantage, and women are most likely to suffer losses."

The other two were silent, their eyes gradually becoming meaningful.

"You are not a honest boy. You actually helped Li Jiajia and refused. I think you are lying!"

Shi Daqiang then realized that his words had successfully made him unable to wash away his guilt even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"I, I really refused. I was just talking about the matter at hand. Don't make trouble. I'm a man and I'm not bad. Don't affect the reputation of the girl."

It was meant to be an explanation, but once it was spoken, it indirectly confirmed that something was wrong between the two of them.

I don’t know how it happened, but a few days later, these words reached Li Jiajia’s ears.

Li Jiajia sneaked into the army under the pretext of looking for Li Weimin and went straight to the training ground to settle accounts with him.

"Shi Daqiang, you son of a bitch, how dare you spread rumors about me!"

As everyone knows, every time a rumor is passed on, it is exaggerated, especially when it is spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. By the time it reaches Li Jiajia's ears, it becomes that Shi Daqiang said she is a tough woman.

The group had just dispersed and Shi Daqiang hadn't taken two steps when a powerful female voice came over.

Those who had planned to take a rest did not leave, but stood there to watch Shi Daqiang's excitement.

"You're a girl, so watch your mouth. Besides, when did I spread rumors about you?" Shi Daqiang was confused, although many people had teased him about Li Jiajia in the past few days.

But he never said a bad word, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that.

Li Jiajia repeated to Shi Daqiang what she said at the dock that day.

When Zhang Erqiao heard this, he silently walked out with another soldier present, and both of them tried their best to reduce their presence.

Shi Daqiang felt very depressed and patiently explained to Li Jiajia.

"That's not what I said."

Li Jiajia didn't completely lose her mind and still retained some calmness, just not much.

"If it wasn't you who said that, then who said that?"

Shi Daqiang turned around and looked around, but there was no sign of the two culprits around.

"Zhang Erqiao and Liang Zhi, it's not me anyway." Shi Daqiang's face flushed, especially when he received the gazes from all around.

Li Jiajia nodded, "Okay, then I'll go find them both."

Seeing Li Jiajia leaving in big strides, Shi Daqiang felt puzzled and jogged after her.

Li Jiajia didn't even chat with him? This was so strange. Usually, for every word he said, she would have ten words waiting for her. Why did she seem like a different person today?

"Why didn't you doubt me?"

Seeing Shi Daqiang catching up, Li Jiajia couldn't help but quicken her pace and deliberately keep a distance from him.

"You don't have the guts. Your feelings are written all over your face. Someone as stupid as you can't do anything bad."

The faster Li Jiajia walked, the closer Shi Daqiang followed. "You don't know where they are, so where are you going to find them?"

"What's it to you?"

Shi Daqiang could feel that Li Jiajia's attitude towards him had become much colder than before.

"I'm afraid you might barge into the dormitory, so I want to remind you that we're not allowed back into the dormitory during training."

Li Jiajia stopped and looked at the man opposite her with a look of idiocy. "I've been in the army longer than you have. I don't need you to remind me of this common sense."

Shi Daqiang was humiliated by Li Jiajia and stopped following her.

He stood there, scratching his head helplessly. Did he offend Li Jiajia in some way? Why did she seem like a different person?

Li Jiajia came this time not only because someone said bad things about her, but also because Shi Daqiang rejected her father's matchmaking.

She didn't even refuse, but Shi Daqiang dared to refuse first.

Now at home, my father often brings up this matter, saying that there is no man on the island who is interested in her.

This dealt a heavy blow to Li Jiajia's self-esteem, and when she heard some bad things about him today, she could no longer hold back and came to seek revenge.
