Chapter 1324 The speaker meant no harm, but the listener was shocked
Chu Xue hurriedly made it to the bus back to the army. When she was almost at the stop, she even found a secluded spot to take out a bag from her storage space so she could turn around and cover herself.
But when she went up, there were no seats left.
Just as I was thinking that I would have to stand all the way back, I heard someone call out, "Sister-in-law, please sit here."
Because there were several other people standing like her, she didn't initially realize that they were calling her, until someone tugged at her sleeve and she looked at the person who was speaking.
The man smiled and nodded at her: "Sister-in-law, please sit here."
A woman standing not far from the seats said, "I have to say, young man, you really know how to play favorites. We've been standing for a while now, and you haven't offered us a seat, but this woman comes up to you right away."
Before the woman could finish speaking, another woman stood up from the seat next to the person who had offered her seat: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. We all paid for our tickets. My man can give up his seat if he wants to, and he can't if he doesn't. Who are you to lecture me? Besides, she's my man's battalion commander's wife. What's wrong with him giving up his seat? Especially since she's pregnant. You're making a big fuss."
Chu Xue, upon hearing the woman mention her pregnancy, asked, "Who are you?"
The woman was very enthusiastic: "Sister-in-law, I am Lin Lancao, and that is my husband, Tian Changxing. He is a company commander under Battalion Commander Fu. Last time you invited us to dinner, my husband and I were on leave because my sister-in-law was getting married, so we weren't in the family compound. We did see him from afar later, and that's how we found out from the other women in the compound."
After saying that, he reached out and pulled Chuxue up: "Sister-in-law, sit down quickly, you can't stand for too long now."
What Chu Xue didn't know was that the news of her pregnancy spread as soon as she left the military family compound. After all, the canteen staff were quite angry about what Company Commander Sun's wife had done, so they didn't bother to hide it from the rich girl.
Lin Lancao was a talkative person. After everyone sat down, she glanced at Chuxue's lower abdomen and asked, "Sister-in-law, how far along are you in your pregnancy?"
Chu Xue smiled faintly and said, "It's been more than two months."
Lin Lancao leaned closer to Chuxue: "Fu Ying is quite something, getting pregnant right after getting married."
How could Chu Xue possibly respond to that? She could only laugh it off.
Standing to the side, Tian Changxing glared at his wife, as if to tell her to watch her mouth and not to speak carelessly.
As we were chatting, we heard someone behind us say, "Don't you guys feel like it's been incredibly hot lately?"
"Yes, it is indeed hotter than in previous years."
"This day is indeed a bit unusual this year."
They had just said it casually, but Chu Xue in front of them froze, breaking out in a cold sweat and turning several shades pale. Today was July 18th, and the historical disaster had occurred this month. She suddenly felt uneasy.
When they finally arrived at their destination, she couldn't wait to get out of the car. Lin Lancao was so enthusiastic that her head was about to explode.
Fortunately, the two families did not live in the same direction, and they separated as soon as they entered the residential compound.
As Chu Xue walked home with her bag, she kept thinking about what she should do.
She didn't know if that disaster would happen in this space, but how could she tell him, and who could she tell him?
If I go and tell them myself, not to mention whether people will believe me or not, they'll first have to think I'm mentally unstable. And if things turn out to be true after a while, I'm afraid I'll have even more trouble. What should I do?
Although she wanted to warn her superiors so they could take precautions in advance, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Thinking about things the whole way, his brows were furrowed into a deep frown, which attracted a lot of discussion: "Isn't that Battalion Commander Fu's wife? Why does she look so unhappy?"
