That uncomfortable feeling surged up again. Qin Xiang's expression changed once more.

She won't, really...

Qin Xiang was terrified, but she dared not go to the army doctor, much less the county hospital.

In a few days, when she has time off, she insists on taking a car to the city hospital for a check-up.

She's definitely not pregnant; she must have eaten something bad. She absolutely ate something bad; there's no way she could be pregnant.

She had finally made it into the performing arts troupe, and she couldn't let anyone ruin her future.

If anyone else knew about that, her life would be ruined.

Qin Xiang's face flushed red then turned pale, then red again, and her gaze towards Jiang Yue became even more resentful. If it weren't for Jiang Yue, she wouldn't have encountered such painful and unbearable things.

If it weren't for Jiang Yue, she would have become a full member of the performing arts troupe long ago. She would also have military status, instead of being just a handyman like she is now.

She hated! She hated Jiang Yue, she hated Jiang Yue so much that she wished Jiang Yue were dead!

Now she doesn't dare contact her uncle or question him about what happened. She's afraid that if the news gets back to her parents' home, they won't protect her; they'll only blame her for disgracing the Qin family and bringing shame upon them.

Jiang Yue noticed someone was watching her. She looked around and saw Qin Xiang standing under a streetlamp not far away, looking in her direction.

Jiang Yue could guess Qin Xiang's feelings at that moment. She must hate herself to the core.

But who caused all of this?

Qin Xiang herself harbored malicious intentions; she didn't eat those things. But Qin Xiang was greedy and ate them all. Qin Xiang brought this upon herself; how could she still have the nerve to hate herself?

Jiang Yue gave Qin Xiang a cold look. Tomorrow when she goes to the county town, she must have Lu Yu find someone to thoroughly investigate Qin Xiang.

Not only Lu Yu, but Jiang Yue had also told Qin Li before. Qin Li said he had someone investigate and would call her if there was any news.

After walking for a while, Lu Yu spoke up.

"It's cold, let's go back early."

Jiang Yue nodded.

Lu Yu led Jiang Yue toward home.

"oops."

A few children were playing around and ran up to Lu Yu and Jiang Yue. Lu Yu took Jiang Yue's hand and pulled her back a little. The children bumped into Lu Yu and fell to the ground.

"Wow..."

The child on the ground was about to cry when he looked up and saw Lu Yu looking at him with a serious expression. He was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound.

"Shuanzi, get up quickly."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Lu."

The other children recognized Lu Yu and immediately thanked him.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Lu." The other children immediately followed suit and apologized as well.

"It's alright." Lu Yu looked at Shuanzi and asked, "Are you alright?"

Shuanzi shook his head in fear, scrambled to his feet, took several steps back, and then burst into loud sobs.

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Yue with suspicion. Was he that scary? Why was the child crying so loudly?

Zhang Yu and Xu Jia were taking a walk nearby when they heard their son crying, and she immediately ran over.

"Who, who hit my son? Step forward!"

When Zhang Yu heard his son crying, he immediately roared.

The children were stunned when they heard Zhang Yu's words.

"Shuanzi, tell your mother, who hit you?"

Upon hearing his mother's words, Shuanzi immediately felt a sense of support and looked at Lu Yu and Jiang Yue.

This caused Zhang Yu to misunderstand. Holding her son's hand, she angrily walked towards Jiang Yue.

"Comrade Jiang, why did you hit my son? You always bully others in the family compound, and now you're even bullying a child? Are you even human?"
