Gu Pingwei gasped.

This time it really hurt.

"Do you know how worried I was?! How could you lie to me like that?! It's so despicable!"

Jiang Jingxue was furious and started yelling at Gu Pingwei.

As she continued to curse, her eyes reddened, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

"I almost thought... I almost thought your leg was bad again!"

Seeing Jiang Jingxue's red eyes, Gu Pingwei felt extremely sorry for her.

He ignored the pain in his leg and got up to hug Jiang Jingxue.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

"I promise I will be perfectly healthy and I will never let you worry about me again."

After Gu Pingwei made various assurances, Jiang Jingxue finally forgave him.

Gu Pingwei's feelings for Jiang Jingxue seemed to have deepened even further.

Just now, she saw him injured, and he slapped that aunt like a fierce tigress. It was incredibly cool.

The thought of how much she cared about and worried about him made him smile involuntarily.

Seeing the major's blissful expression, Qin Liang couldn't help but join in the fun.

They say people in love become silly, and it seems to be true.

His major was such a brilliant and capable man!

Since meeting the lady, he seems to have been grinning foolishly more and more often.

Not long after, the police arrived at the scene after receiving a report.

The officers who responded to the call were the same ones who had interrogated Jiang Jingxue last time.

When they met Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei, they all greeted them politely.

"Major, Madam."

Jiang Jingxue had Chen Hong bring the person out and then recounted what had happened.

As soon as the police officer saw the woman, he said, "We've known her for a long time!"

“This isn’t the first or second time she’s done this. We’ve received reports from the public about her behavior before, but the offenses were minor and we couldn’t prosecute her. This time she dared to attack a military officer, so we’ll take this opportunity to detain her for a while and let her reflect on her actions!”

When her aunt heard that she was really going to be locked up, her legs trembled so badly that she could barely stand.

"Don't lock me up! Don't lock me up!"

She kept murmuring to herself.

"Officers, please don't lock me up! I'll never do it again!"

"It's no use talking to us. Go tell that to Major Gu. We're just doing our duty. Unless Major Gu says he won't hold you responsible!"

"Girl, I beg you, please put in a good word for me! Please plead for me!"

The woman was still begging for mercy as the police dragged her into the police car.

After the aunt was arrested, the workers went back to work.

This time, everyone worked very hard. When Jiang Jingxue passed by them, they were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.

Through this misunderstanding, everyone now knows that Jiang Jingxue's man is a military officer, someone not to be trifled with.

Jiang Jingxue was both amused and exasperated; she wasn't an unreasonable person at all!

It makes her sound like some kind of scary person.

To avoid putting too much psychological pressure on her, Jiang Jingxue simply took Gu Pingwei back to the office for tea.

"Look what you've done! Now everyone thinks I'm like a tigress!"

Jiang Jingxue glared at Gu Pingwei and complained.

Although she knew in her heart that he had saved her, she still blamed him verbally.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault."

Gu Pingwei accepted everything without question.

"To make up for it, I'll cover everything you need to buy for your seafood market!"

After cleaning the seafood market, the next step is to buy some storage racks, fish tanks, and the like.

"That's more like it. I'm going to make sure you get a good beating!"

"Lie down and let them do as they please."

By evening, the entire market had been almost completely cleaned up.

Sun Youzhi came to collect the workers' wages.

To reward them for their hard work, Jiang Jingxue gave them a 20% raise.

The workers were shocked when they received their money.

They originally thought Jiang Jingxue was a fierce woman, and that they would be lucky to get a day's wages back. They never expected her to give them more than they deserved; it was like a windfall.

"Comrade Jiang is a very good person; you'll know once you've dealt with her."

Sun Youzhi learned about today's events from other people.

He was afraid that people would misunderstand her, so he maintained Jiang Jingxue's image in front of the workers.

the next day.

Jiang Jingxue was dragged out of bed by Gu Pingwei early in the morning.

Where are we going?

Jiang Jingxue was still half asleep and reluctantly got out of bed.

"Didn't you say you were going to rip me off? You need equipment to buy seafood from the market!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxue perked up: "Okay! Wait ten minutes, I'll be right there!"

After Jiang Jingxue finished speaking, she went to wash up.

After leaving the house, Gu Pingwei took Jiang Jingxue to several building materials markets, letting her choose whatever she wanted.

Jiang Jingxue shook her head, dissatisfied with everything.

"These are all too expensive, Gu Pingwei. Where is there a secondhand market? Shall we go there and take a look?"

"Don't worry, I brought enough money. You can pick whatever you want in here, I can afford it."

"Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this."

Jiang Jingxue still refused outright.

"Let's go, take me to the secondhand market."

Gu Pingwei was also helpless with this hypocritical woman.

They said they were going to rip him off, but they couldn't bear to spend his money at all.

There was no other way but to have Qin Liang drive them to the secondhand market.

Once there, Jiang Jingxue felt right at home and quickly selected some equipment that was in good condition but cost only half the price.
