Chapter 27 Liang Manyun has met her match!

Shen Jianguo frowned instantly, and was about to speak when Su Yue reassured him with her eyes.

Su Yue remained calm and composed, instead leisurely observing the other person.

The white coat had a name tag pinned to its chest: Military Region Hospital, Liang Manyun.

Oh wow.

It was her.

The female doctor who cursed Gu Beichen in the letter, wishing him to be disabled, and who wanted to steal him away.

Seeing is believing; the aroma of this tea is so enticing that it can be smelled from 800 miles away.

Su Yue saw the deep resentment hidden in Liang Manyun's eyes, her mind clear as day, but she put on an impeccable sweet smile.

"Oh, it's Dr. Liang. Hello, hello."

She reached out her hand proactively, her enthusiasm surprising Liang Manyun.

"I am Su Yue. I had heard Bei Chen mention that he has a friend at the military hospital who is very capable and also very helpful. Meeting him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."

Liang Manyun was a little stunned by the sudden praise and subconsciously tried to puff out her chest.

Unexpectedly, Su Yue changed the subject, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"However, Beichen also said that Dr. Liang, you have very high standards and ordinary people cannot meet your standards. Now it seems that my elders were farsighted and arranged my marriage with Beichen early on."

She paused, withdrew her hand, gently patted her chest, and looked relieved.

"Otherwise, how could I possibly be worthy of such an outstanding man as Beichen? Unlike Dr. Liang, who is confident and generous, she is clearly someone who is worthy of a hero."

These words sounded like self-deprecation, but every word was an attempt to elevate Liang Manyun.

But when put together, the meaning completely changes.

The translation is: I'm not good enough for her, but I'm her official fiancée. You're outstanding and confident, but no matter how outstanding you are, you can only be a "friend," you don't even have the right to be a part of the relationship.

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

Liang Manyun's smug expression froze instantly, the color draining from her face little by little before suddenly flushing red again, as dramatic as a color palette.

She stared intently at Su Yue, her chest heaving violently, as if she had been slapped across the face, the pain burning intensely.

Shouldn't this capitalist's daughter from the city be terrified and ashamed by her words?

How can you be so quick-witted!

"you!"

Liang Manyun was so angry that she couldn't utter a word for a long time. Just as she was about to explode, the old man Shen Congwen, who had been silent all along, suddenly coughed heavily.

Although the old man was simply dressed, he had always held a high position and naturally possessed an aura of authority.

His cloudy eyes swept lightly over Liang Manyun, his voice not loud, but carrying immense weight.

"Is this how doctors at the military hospital talk to military families? It seems that the ideological education work in the Hainan Military Region needs to be strengthened."

Liang Manyun's heart skipped a beat, and she then noticed that there were two men with extraordinary bearing standing next to Su Yue.

Just as she was about to retort, Shen Jianguo stepped forward, shielding Su Yue behind him, and looked coldly at Liang Manyun, while taking out his work ID from his pocket.

"I am Shen Jianguo, chief engineer of the Beijing Machinery Research Institute, here on a mission in Hainan Island. This Comrade Su Yue is my father's savior and also my newly adopted sworn sister. Dr. Liang, do you have any objections to my family?"

"Chief...Chief Engineer?"

When Liang Manyun saw the bright red seal and the gold-embossed words "Chief Engineer" on the work permit, her mind went blank.

A chief engineer from Beijing?

She instantly realized what a hard iron plate she had kicked!

This Su Yue, isn't she just a pretty face with no substance? How could she possibly know such an important person!

Liang Manyun's face turned deathly pale instantly, her previous arrogance vanished without a trace, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"No...no, Chief Engineer Shen, I...I was just joking with Comrade Su Yue!"

She explained incoherently, her voice trembling.

"We...we're friends, we were just joking around!"

"I wouldn't dare joke around with a friend like you."

Su Yue delivered a final blow, effectively cutting off Liang Manyun's escape route.

Liang Manyun's face turned a deep purplish-red, and under the watchful eyes of those around her, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She knew she had completely lost face today, and staying any longer would only bring her further humiliation.

She glared at Su Yue with resentment, gritted her teeth, and uttered a harsh remark.

"Don't get cocky! This island military compound isn't like Shanghai; there are a lot of rules here! You're just a capitalist's daughter; you're in for a world of hurt!"

After saying that, she turned and tried to run away.

"stop."

Shen Jianguo said coldly.

He didn't even look at Liang Manyun, and said directly to Su Yue, "Xiao Yue, there's no need to pay attention to this kind of person. I'll take you to the family compound, and I'll contact Commander Gu's bodyguard."

As he spoke, he took out a military-grade encrypted phone from his briefcase and, in front of Liang Manyun, skillfully dialed a number.

"Connect me to the military region headquarters and ask them to find me Xiao Wang, the bodyguard of Regiment Commander Gu Beichen... Yes, this is Shen Jianguo."

Liang Manyun's legs went completely limp.

To be able to directly call the headquarters and demand someone's return, you must have some really powerful connections!

What kind of ancestor did she offend today?!

Less than ten minutes later, a military jeep sped up and came to a sudden stop in front of everyone.

Guard Xiao Wang jumped out of the car and jogged over, his face beaming with surprise.

"Sister-in-law! You've finally arrived! The regimental commander, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Jianguo and Shen Congwen, and he froze, his eyes wide open like saucers.

"Mr. Shen! Chief Engineer Shen! What brings you two here too!"

Xiao Wang stammered a military salute, his back ramrod straight, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Oh my god!

This is a very important person you can only see at the highest military region conference!

How did they end up with the future commander's wife?

The way Xiao Wang looked at Su Yue again had changed from simple respect to deep awe.

This woman is incredibly powerful!

He immediately snatched all the luggage from Su Yue's hands with great enthusiasm, not even letting go of the small cloth bag, and put it in the car with great care, completely ignoring Liang Manyun the whole time.

Su Yue bid a solemn farewell to the Shen family.

"Grandpa Shen, Brother Shen, thank you so much for today. I will definitely write to you when you return to the capital."

Mr. Shen Congwen patted her hand affectionately.

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with your grandpa! Remember this: in Hainan Island, if anyone dares to make you feel bad, just call grandpa! I want to see who dares to bully my goddaughter, Shen Congwen!"

These words were spoken with great force, not only to Su Yue, but also to warn those who were still standing still.

Liang Manyun trembled upon hearing this, and dared not linger any longer, slinking away in disgrace.

As he sat in the bumpy jeep, Xiao Wang excitedly reported on his work while driving.

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing! You even know Elder Shen and the others! If the regimental commander knew, he would be overjoyed!"

"Let me tell you, the commander has been looking forward to your arrival! The house assigned to you is in the west, it's the newest and best house, two bedrooms and a living room, with a small yard, it's very bright! All the furniture and bedding inside were personally picked out by the commander, they're all brand new, and the quilts have been aired out for you several times, I guarantee you can move in with just your bags and be very comfortable!"

Xiao Wang chattered incessantly, like a sparrow announcing good news.

Su Yue listened quietly, piecing together an image of a man who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside and had a delicate mind from his fragmented words.

This childhood sweetheart, whom I've never met, seems... not bad?

The jeep slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the military compound.

Before Su Yue even got out of the car, she keenly noticed that several military wives were gathered in twos and threes under a large banyan tree not far ahead.

Their laughter and conversation stopped abruptly the moment the jeep came to a stop.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to them simultaneously.
