The word "red" was like two red-hot iron needles, piercing Zhang Xuehui's ears.

Her mind went blank.

What... a red capitalist?

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Zhang Xuehui's voice changed. She stood up abruptly, staring intently at the round-faced girl. "Her family got rich by exploiting workers! She's a dutiful daughter of capitalists!"

"Keep your voice down!" The tall girl frowned and tugged at the round-faced girl before saying to Zhang Xuehui, "You've really misunderstood. The newspaper clearly states that Comrade Wantang has a very high level of ideological awareness. Some time ago, she voluntarily donated all the antiques and calligraphy in her family collection to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage free of charge!"

The round-faced girl quickly added, "Yes, yes, yes! She donated several large boxes! I heard that many of them are national treasures! The cultural relics bureau even gave her a certificate and a banner! This has caused quite a stir!"

Donate your family fortune?

For the country?

Zhang Xuehui was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

Didn't all that family fortune disappear?

So it turns out that Su Wantang, that bitch, hid it!

How could that bitch be so despicable?!

"And that's not all!" The round-faced girl became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyebrows dancing with excitement. "The most amazing thing is that she encountered human traffickers on the train heading south! A whole gang of human traffickers! She was all alone, smart and brave, and worked with the train police to catch the entire group of traffickers! She rescued several abducted children!"

"Because of this, she's in the newspaper again! The People's Daily! A whole page of it!"

Zhang Xuehui's breathing became increasingly rapid, her chest heaving violently like a broken bellows. She felt dizzy, as if the whole world was turning upside down.

She reported Su Wantang as a capitalist remnant, but Su Wantang turned around and became a patriotic youth who donated national treasures?

She hoped that Su Wantang would be criticized and scorned, but Su Wantang turned out to be a hero who caught human traffickers.

How could this be! This is absolutely impossible!

"What else did the newspaper say?" Her voice was dry and hoarse, as if it were being forced out of her throat.

A hint of envy and longing appeared on the round-faced girl's face, and her tone softened: "The newspaper praised her as the 'most beautiful military wife,' saying she is a good role model for military families and a model for women in the new era..."

The words "most beautiful military wife" were like a poisoned dagger, piercing Zhang Xuehui's heart with unerring precision and still stirring fiercely within.

Su Wantang went to join the army?!

A metallic sweetness surged into her throat, Zhang Xuehui's vision blurred, her body swayed, and she almost collapsed.

"I don't believe it..." she muttered to herself, as if she had gone mad, "You're all lying to me... This can't be..."

"The newspaper! Give me the newspaper!" She suddenly raised her head, her eyes bloodshot, staring at them like a trapped beast on the verge of madness.

The ferocious appearance startled the round-faced girl.

The tall girl sighed, carefully pulled out a well-worn newspaper from under her pillow, and handed it over.

"See for yourself, it's from last week."

Zhang Xuehui snatched the newspaper away.

Her hands were trembling so badly that the thin paper rustled in her fingers. It took her a lot of effort to unfold the newspaper.
