"When you and Captain Lu came to pick up the child yesterday, my sister-in-law and I were also waiting here to pick up the child. After you and Captain Lu picked up the child and left, my sister-in-law said something that might have a bad influence on you."
Yang Meifeng really didn't want to clean up her sister-in-law's mess.
But because of what Tong Xiaolan said yesterday, the speculation and discussion about Chen Jiao by the military families in the compound intensified.
Some people not only said that Chen Jiao could wear such nice clothes because she earned money from black market speculation, but some even said that someone in Chen Jiao's family was an official who embezzled and accepted bribes to buy her clothes.
You know, whether it is speculation or corruption and bribery, they are all serious crimes that will get you punished.
No one can bear the blame for this.
After asking, Chen Jiao knew the whole story.
She just felt that the way those people looked at her was not right, and they subconsciously kept their distance from her, as if she had some virus.
She originally thought that she was too conspicuous in wearing that coat yesterday, which made others afraid to get close to her, but she didn't expect there was such a thing.
Her face turned slightly cold, and she asked Yang Meifeng seriously, "Comrade Yang Meifeng, where is Tong Xiaolan? She caused such a big incident and seriously tarnished my and my husband's reputation. You, as her sister-in-law, shouldn't be the only one to apologize."
Yang Meifeng also had a headache.
Tong Xiaolan is very bold when speaking and dares to say anything.
She really caused trouble by speaking out of turn, and before anything happened, she was frightened and fell ill.
Yang Meifeng told Chen Jiao about Tong Xiaolan's illness.
Chen Jiao thought about it for a moment. Now she was accused of speculation and her family accepting bribes. Lu Zhengxu was at a critical moment in his promotion evaluation. These remarks would probably attract the attention of the leaders soon.
She had to find the culprit and make things clear before her boss talked to her.
Chen Jiao looked at Yang Meifeng's nervous look and softened her tone, "Sister-in-law, please take me to see Comrade Tong Xiaolan first. She caused this disaster, and she has to come forward and explain herself clearly."
Yang Meifeng originally thought it would be best for Tong Xiaolan to apologize herself, but Tong Xiaolan was sick, and her mother-in-law was crying and begging, so her husband couldn't stand it anymore and asked her to come to Chen Jiao to apologize.
At this time, Chen Jiao brought it up herself. She had no objection, so I took Chen Jiao to her home.
The other side.
Not long after Lu Zhengxu arrived at the army for training, the guards around the old commander came over and said, "Captain Lu, the old commander wants you to go to his office."
"Report!"
Lu Zhengxu stood at the door of the old chief's office, his body as straight as a pine tree as he shouted "report".
The old leader's expression was not very good, and he even looked at him gloomily, "Come in."
"Old Chief, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Zhengxu asked as he entered the room.
The old commander frowned and looked at him seriously, "What's the matter? You still have the nerve to ask me what's the matter? What's wrong with your family? Why did you make such a big fuss just after you came to the army? Do you know what time it is now? I just approved the documents for your promotion, and your family is making a big fuss. Do you still want to be promoted?"
The old chief said this in one breath with anger.
Before training this morning, Tong Dayi had already stammered to Lu Zhengxu about the rumors about Chen Jiao in the compound.
Facing the old chief's anger at this moment, Lu Zhengxu was not panicked at all. He saluted and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Report to the old chief, those rumors are spread by someone out of jealousy. My family is innocent and will not accept any rumors. I ask the old chief to give my family justice!"
The old leader looked at him and said unhappily, "Does your tone mean your family members are not at fault at all?"
"No!" Lu Zhengxu said without hesitation, "If there is any fault, it is my fault. I did not disclose my married status to the entire military region early on, which made some comrades have illusions about me. Now that my family members are here, their illusions are shattered, so they vent their anger on my family members."
The old leader laughed out of anger when he heard what he said.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the military district. When someone gets married, do they have to use a loud speaker to shout around in the military district to inform everyone?
But after laughing, the old leader's anger did subside.
She nodded and said, "I can see that you are like a ruthless knife on the battlefield, but you are a passionate person in life. I am a little curious about what kind of person your relative is, who can be so obsessed with you."
When Lu Zhengxu submitted his marriage report, the old leader had actually seen Chen Jiao's photo.
Just from the photo, Chen Jiao's appearance is really hard to describe...
But when he returned home yesterday, he heard his family member talking to him about how loving Lu Zhengxu and his wife were.
He thought of Chen Jiao's appearance in the photo, and he really couldn't imagine what kind of inner charm a girl with such a face had to capture Lu Zhengxu.
The old commander directly ordered the guards: "Go, invite Captain Lu's wife over as well."
At this time, Chen Jiao had just followed Yang Meifeng into her house.
Tong Xiaolan was still lying in the room at this time. Feng Suyun was slightly startled when she saw Chen Jiao. She remembered the interests her son had told her last night, and hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile, "Mrs. Captain Lu, why do you have to come to our house? If you have any instructions, please let Meifeng go. Please take a seat, please take a seat..."
Chen Jiao looked at Feng Suyun with a polite smile on her face, "Aunt, I won't sit down. I came here today to see Comrade Tong Xiaolan. Since she said something, she must take responsibility."
Feng Suyun's face was embarrassed and ugly, and she quickly stood in front of Chen Jiao, "Madam, it's wrong for our Xiaolan to say that, which has a bad influence on you and Captain Lu. She is a child and doesn't know anything, so please forgive her this time. I apologize to you on her behalf, okay?"
Chen Jiao looked at Feng Suyun's servile appearance in front of her, and then looked at the motionless door of the inner room.
In addition, her arrival caused a sensation in the compound, and now there were countless gossipy ears outside Yang Meifeng's house.
Just then, a soldier in military uniform appeared at the door of Yang Meifeng's house.
The soldier saluted Chen Jiao first and said, "Comrade Chen Jiao, the old commander asks you to go to his office."
As the guard said this.
Those who pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip all became excited.
"The old leader has come forward. Could it be that Captain Lu's wife is really a profiteer? Or is it that someone in her family is really corrupt and accepts bribes?"
"Tsk, how did she pass the political review when she married Captain Lu?"
"If she is a profiteer, Captain Lu will not be promoted this time!"
…
The sound of discussion reached Shen Jiao's ears.
Shen Jiao frowned slightly.
This matter has alarmed the leader. She must make a quick decision and take Tong Xiaolan with her. Otherwise, her trip will only make the rumors more intense.
