Qiao Jin woke up to find herself reborn. In her previous life, as an orphan, she was adopted by her deceased father's comrade-in-arms. She had a bright future ahead but, due to jealousy towards...
Chapter 178: Cheating
Qiao Jin, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
She was puzzled. Considering the calm impression Fu Yanlin always gave people, how could he do such an impulsive thing?
Facing the surprised and even dissatisfied looks of everyone around him, Fu Yanlin had no intention of escaping.
"Yes, I was the one who injured him."
His voice was calm, but his attitude was firm.
"I am willing to accept any responsibility and punishment that may arise from this. But please do not forget that the root cause of this situation lies with Xu Qingchang himself. During the mission, he not only betrayed his teammates, but also cooperated with the enemy without authorization. This behavior is simply intolerable. In comparison, the physical injuries he suffered are already considered a lenient sentence."
After hearing this, Xu's mother was so shocked that she stood there in shock. Then she started to yell out of control: "What on earth did my child do? Why does he have to endure extra surveillance? Why do you treat my poor son like this?!"
Fu Yanlin pulled up a sarcastic smile and said slowly, "Regarding this issue, I believe Xu Qingchang knows it better than anyone else. He actually attacked his companions during the mission, openly betrayed the organization and colluded with the enemy. If there were no special factors intervening, he should have been punished more severely according to the regulations."
Mother Xu was speechless for a moment. She stared at Fu Yanlin for a long time but could not utter a word in rebuttal.
There was a hint of panic in her eyes, as if she suddenly didn't know how to deal with the situation.
She had no choice but to turn to Zheng Lulu, pointed at her and said, "She's our future daughter-in-law, so it's okay for me to talk to her, right? Zheng Lulu, come here!"
Her tone was full of command, "From now on, you are a member of our Xu family. I have the right to discipline you!"
Her words were full of dominance and confidence, as if Zheng Lulu already belonged completely to their family.
Zheng Lulu immediately looked at Fu Yanlin with tears in her eyes. She bit her lip and shook her head at him. She looked very helpless and motioned Fu Yanlin to help her.
Her eyes were full of uncertainty and worry about the future, and she hoped to get his support at this critical moment.
Fu Yanlin's eyes darkened. Although he had no sympathy for Zheng Lulu, after all, Zheng Lulu had not been expelled from the team and was still one of her father's adopted daughters.
He said, "If you feel that you have been wronged, you can report the situation to Chief Ye. As for the matter between you and Xu Qingchang, I don't have time to care."
His tone was indifferent, and he was obviously not interested.
After that, Fu Yanlin looked at Qiao Jin and whispered, "Let's go."
Although his voice was low, it revealed an unquestionable determination, hoping to end this awkward conversation as soon as possible.
Qiao Jin did not interrupt the entire process, nor did she express her opinion regarding the matter between Zheng Lulu and Xu Qingchang.
She remained calm and did not want to get involved in any unnecessary disputes.
"Qiao Jin?"
A surprised voice echoed in the air.
The sudden voice interrupted the tense atmosphere and stunned everyone.
Hearing the voice, Qiao Jin instinctively looked up. When she saw Hu Ping appear in the hospital, her face changed instantly, and there was no patience in her eyes.
She didn't expect to meet this person again under such circumstances, and her mood became more and more irritated.
Qiao Jin didn't want to pay any attention to Hu Ping, and just urged Fu Yanlin: "Let's go."
Her words were concise and firm, and she hoped to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, Hu Ping shamelessly came over, glanced at Qiao Jin and said, "What a coincidence, we meet here, Qiao Jin, are you and Fu Yanlin together?"
His tone was full of sarcasm and provocation, as if he deliberately wanted to provoke a dispute.
Seeing the intimate atmosphere between the two, how could Hu Ping not see what was going on?
He had known for a long time that as soon as Qiao Jin arrived in Kyoto and learned that Fu Yanlin was not only powerful but also had a wealthy family, she would immediately abandon him and choose a more affluent life!
Humph, once he has his own status and enough wealth in Kyoto, he will definitely humiliate her and take revenge on Qiao Jin.
No, it's not just about humiliation, I also want her to experience the feeling of losing all her dignity...
Hu Ping was secretly planning a revenge plan in his mind. Then, as if to deliberately provoke Qiao Jin, he suddenly reached out and pulled Zheng Lulu into his arms, not concealing his intimacy at all.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Jin was indeed a little surprised, but she was more speechless and helpless about the behavior of these two people - it was really unusual.
After learning that Zheng Lulu was reborn, he was still willing to follow the villain Hu Ping. He is really unprincipled.
However, thinking about this, she felt that these two people with poor moral qualities were quite a good match.
I hope they can be tied together tightly.
Hu Ping boasted proudly, "Qiao Jin, we are from the same village. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend Zheng Lulu. Since you all know each other, there is no need for me to say any more nonsense."
After saying this, he waited impatiently to see the change in expression on Qiao Jin's face, his heart filled with anticipation and joy.
Woman, you must be regretting it now!
Show me that expression of pain and jealousy!
However, what disappointed Hu Ping was that there was not the slightest fluctuation on Qiao Jin's face, and even her eyes did not show any emotional fluctuation.
Gradually, the determined smile on Hu Ping's lips disappeared.
Thinking back to the time when they were still in the village, Qiao Jin doted on him in every way. In order to make him happy, he spent a lot of time and energy, and all the hard-earned money he saved was squandered on him.
But now, when she saw him being so close to another woman in front of her, she didn't have any emotional reaction at all!
Hu Ping's face looked extremely ugly, as if the entire sky was covered by dark clouds, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment.
He bit his lips so hard that they almost bled: "Qiao Jin, I can give you a chance to make a new choice. You can come to me when you have thought it through."
Qiao Jin slowly uttered two words: "You are sick."
The tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any fluctuations.
She didn't look at Hu Ping any more, turned around and said to Fu Yanlin, "Let's go."
Her eyes were firm and calm, as if she had completely let go of everything.
Hearing Qiao Jin's straightforward rebuttal, Fu Yanlin's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
That smile contained pride, as well as a bit of warmth and comfort.
He turned around and left with Qiao Jin, his steps steady.
Hu Ping looked at Qiao Jin's departing back unwillingly, his eyes full of reluctance and anger. He simply couldn't believe that Qiao Jin would be so cold to him!
He kept thinking in his mind: At the beginning, Qiao Jin clearly loved him to the point of being unable to extricate herself!
Zheng Lulu stood aside, watching Hu Ping quietly.
Although she had no feelings for this overconfident man, being able to temporarily get rid of Xu Qingchang was a good relief.
A complicated expression appeared on her face, but she quickly calmed down.
Xu's mother's face was frighteningly gloomy, her eyes were full of anger, and she stared at Zheng Lulu fiercely.
The next second, she rushed forward like a wild beast out of control and reached out to grab Zheng Lulu's face.
"How dare you cheat on me, you bad woman! Today I will teach you a lesson for my son!"
