"Now that you know to ask a designer to restore the clothes, what about the necklace?"

Li Xue was definitely not happy about being humiliated, but even so, she couldn't be too aggressive, as it wouldn't be good if things got too tense. If she had known the performing arts troupe was like this, she really shouldn't have let Jiang Yu come along to suffer.

"We don't want to make a big fuss. We see each other all the time, so it's good that things have been clarified."

Deng Wei once again adopted a magnanimous persona, while the group leader stepped in to defuse the situation, trying to shift the focus to her clothes.

Li Xue heard her words clearly and naturally understood what kind of person this woman was. Two-faced and despicable.

"Don't you want things to get out of hand? When you were framing Comrade Jiang Yu just now, why didn't you have this attitude? It's a good thing no one did anything to frame you, otherwise it would be really hard to explain."

Li Xue was subtly criticizing her; the implication was clear: she already had a lot of opinions about her and there was no need for her to continue acting.

"Madam, what's the use of saying all this now? The best thing to do now is to quickly call a designer to repair the clothes. We can talk about the rest later. This comrade is also suspected of damaging the clothes, but we won't pursue it. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

As the regimental commander spoke against his conscience, he knew that the troops from other cities were already in their respective dressing rooms. He also knew the consequences of delaying this matter, so he thought he should deal with one first and then deal with the rest later.

"Then give me a reason why she would damage the clothes she designed?"

Li Xue's expression turned extremely ugly after hearing his words. She then pointed at Jiang Yu and raised another question for an explanation.

"What's the meaning?"

There was a lot of information, and the group leader couldn't process it all at once.

"Weren't you looking for a designer? No need to look anymore, she's right here being wronged by you all."

Aside from the troupe leader, the most surprised person was Deng Wei. Everyone thought this woman was just trying to gain experience by associating with Battalion Commander Chen. But no one expected that she was actually the costume designer for this performance.

Thinking about the clothes she had always loved, she felt incredibly embarrassed.

"How is that possible?"

The one who exclaimed in surprise was Yuan Shuhui. She shared the same thought as Deng Wei: she hadn't expected this woman to actually have a hidden identity. However, despite their thoughts, they had completely messed things up.

"I knew the battalion commander's wife's identity was not simple, but I didn't expect her to be this powerful. The farce just now was all a misunderstanding. I was going to let it go, but Shuhui insisted on making a scene, and I couldn't stop her."

Deng Wei shifted the blame very naturally, clearly having done this kind of thing many times before. While flattering Jiang Yu, she didn't forget to glare at Yuan Shuhui; anyone with eyes could see what she was thinking: continue playing the good guy.

Jiang Yu snorted coldly, looking at the astonished Yuan Shuhui, feeling no sympathy, only that she deserved it.

Now you realize you've been used as a pawn by that woman, right? If you don't explain yourself clearly, your military career is probably over.

After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Shuhui finally made up her mind and said:

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't had no evidence to frame Battalion Commander Shen's wife, Weiwei wouldn't have been persuaded to act recklessly with me. A good girl like her would never do such a thing. Regiment Commander and leaders, please criticize me."

She spoke with such sincerity that it seemed as if it were true. By this time, the other female soldiers in the cultural troupe also realized what was going on. After reviewing their past interactions, they found it hard to believe that the seemingly innocent troupe beauty was actually this kind of person; they just hadn't paid much attention to her before.

Jiang Yu smiled. What a touching display of sisterly affection! She almost couldn't help but applaud the two of them.

Seeing that neither the group leader nor Li Xue had said a word, she bowed ninety degrees towards Jiang Yu, appearing to be sincerely apologizing.

"Comrade, whether you forgive me or not, the matter of the clothes must be dealt with first. You are a magnanimous person, can you settle things with me after the performance?"

Since they've already gone this far, continuing to blame her would just make Jiang Yu seem petty. She waved her hand, saying expressionlessly:

"Bring me the clothes, let me take a look."

The troupe leader recognized the lead dancer's outfit. Seeing Deng Wei standing there motionless, he quickly picked up the outfit and went towards Jiang Yu.

Gone was his earlier aggressive demeanor; he stood there respectfully, managing a forced smile.

Jiang Yu had already opened the sewing box. Seeing that it was the group leader who took the clothes, she didn't say a word, took the clothes, and started cutting the torn seams.

She handled the task meticulously, occasionally switching to different tools. Throughout this time, the regimental commander and Yuan Shuhui kept a respectful eye on her. If there were any other instructions, they would act immediately.

"As you all know, these clothes were all newly designed this year at Comrade Jiang Yu's clothing store, and this is the first time they've been worn. If you don't want to take good care of them, you can say so in advance, but as you are now, deliberately damaging them and then falsely accusing others, I will definitely report this to the leader and investigate it thoroughly."

Li Xue is still unable to control her emotions. In order not to interfere with Jiang Yu's work, she tries to keep her voice down when talking about this.

After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Deng Wei and noticed the obvious tension on the other woman's face.

Fortunately, the clothes weren't too badly damaged, and Jiang Yu fixed them in less than half an hour. When she gave them to the commander, he looked at them from left to right, beaming with joy.

That's fantastic, absolutely amazing!

......

By the time Shen Ying learned of this, the performance had already ended. He learned from Bai Chen that someone in the performing arts troupe had wronged Jiang Yu, and the words they said were extremely harsh. Even Li Xue was reprimanded when she tried to handle the situation.

When he learned that it was the head of the performing arts troupe who had done it, he acted as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. This man was used to being arrogant because of the awards the performing arts troupe had won, and he never took them seriously.

It's just a shame that Jiang Yu has to suffer this humiliation. He'll definitely settle this score with them when he has time.

"Battalion Commander Shen, Chief Zhang is looking for you."

When the assistant came to relay the message, the two had already finished discussing the topic. Upon hearing that Chief Zhang wanted to see Shen Ying, Bai Chen patted him on the shoulder and left without further ado.

Upon arriving at the location, they found Li Xue storming out. Shen Ying greeted her, the two exchanged a glance, and then went about their own business.

After the door was closed, Chief Zhang got straight to the point.

"There's a dinner party tonight, and Commander Bai specifically asked to see you. Go and get ready; we'll be leaving in a bit."

When Chief Zhang learned that Jiang Yu had been wrongly accused, he was furious, but he had more important things to do at the moment, so he didn't mention it.

Shen Ying understood Commander Bai's meaning and was about to refuse when his superior spoke first.

"We still need his help in finding the child, and besides, it's just a meal, so don't refuse."
