Chapter 204 Gossip
In the family compound, since Ling Yao had not shown up for several days, all kinds of rumors had already spread to every corner.
Under the big tree in the square, several military wives were gathered together and chattering.
"Why is Captain Lu's wife so restless? As soon as Captain Lu went on a mission, she disappeared without a trace. Did she elope with another man?"
"Looking at her coquettish look, I know she is definitely not a dutiful person."
"Captain Lu will divorce that woman when he comes back."
"Captain Lu is such a good man, but he actually married such a wife. It's a pity."
"Why don't we report this to the leader? Such a shameless woman must be severely punished."
"Yes, let's go tell the leader that our family compound must not have such a military wife."
At this time, Ji Yuanming accompanied Ling Yao back to the family compound.
When they approached, they happened to hear the gossip of the group of women not far away.
Ji Yuanming's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, so dark that it seemed like water could drip out of it. "Yaoyao, is this how they usually slander you?"
Ling Yao smiled faintly, "I'm used to it. Besides, their mouths are on their faces, and I can't stop them from saying anything." She had already reported this matter to the leader last time, but until now, the result of the handling has not come out.
Although she could completely shut up those gossipers with her methods, making them unable to speak for three days, or even forever, there was no point in doing so.
Ji Yuanming was furious. He clenched his fists and strode towards the group of military wives, shouting, "Shut up!"
The military wives were startled and turned to look at Ji Yuanming. At the same time, they also saw Ling Yao following behind Ji Yuanming.
"Captain Ji, why are you here at the family compound? You are not here with Lu's wife, are you?" Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with jealousy. Ling Yao married Lu Qingyun, and she even hooked up with Ji Yuanming. What a shameless woman.
"So what? Do you have any opinions?" Ji Yuanming's cold and sharp eyes were like a sharp blade, sweeping across Zhao Lin's body mercilessly.
Zhao Lin was frightened and shuddered involuntarily.
"I... I have no objection, but Mrs. Lu is the wife of Captain Lu after all, and it's not appropriate for you to get too close to her." Zhao Lin stuttered, with a hint of fear in his voice.
Ji Yuanming's eyes became colder and colder, as if they could penetrate people's hearts, "Don't use your dirty mind to speculate about our relationship, Yaoyao is my sister."
"What did you say? She...she is your sister?" Zhao Lin widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Several other military wives around them also stared at Ling Yao and Ji Yuanming in amazement. They are actually brother and sister?
"Otherwise, what do you think our relationship is?" Ji Yuanming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and asked Zhao Lin in a pressured tone.
"I...I..." Zhao Lin's face turned pale, and her body began to tremble slightly. This is the end! She never thought that Ling Yao would be Ji Yuanming's sister.
In this military area, who doesn't know that Ji Yuanming is a member of the Ji family, and the Ji family is one of the top three wealthy families in Beijing. How can a small character like her afford to provoke it?
When Zhao Lin thought of the harsh words she had said to Ling Yao before, she felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar. At this moment, she finally realized how big a disaster she had caused.
"You are the sister of Captain Zhao, right? I will report this matter to the higher-ups truthfully." Ji Yuanming glanced at Zhao Lin, and then his eyes swept over the military wives, "And you too."
Ji Yuanming retracted his gaze and smiled softly at Ling Yao, "Yaoyao, let's go back." These military wives slandered his sister so much, he would never let this matter go, and he would definitely let these military wives get the punishment they deserved.
"Yes." Ling Yao nodded, and walked side by side with Ji Yuanming towards the small courtyard where they lived.
"What should we do? We are in big trouble now."
"If this incident affects my man's future, he will hate me to death."
"Zhao Lin, it's all your fault. If you hadn't said bad things about Mrs. Lu every day, how could we say those things?"
"Zhao Lin, go and apologize to Mrs. Lu now."
The military wives were all anxious. Originally, they thought Ling Yao was just a country girl with no background, but they didn't expect that she was Ji Yuanming's sister, the daughter of the Ji family, and someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Zhao Lin's heart was now full of regret, but she didn't expect Ling Yao to have such a background.
"Don't be like this, everyone. I will go to find Captain Lu later. Captain Lu has a good relationship with my brother, and he will definitely forgive us."
The eyes of the military wives lit up when they heard this.
"Yes, looking for Captain Lu."
Lu Qingyun had just walked into the family compound, and before he could react, he was surrounded by a group of military wives.
He frowned, took several steps back, and kept a distance from these military wives, "What's the matter?" "
Captain Lu, we really didn't mean to say bad things about my sister-in-law. We already know we were wrong. Can you tell my sister-in-law and Captain Ji not to pursue this matter?" "
Yes, we really know we were wrong. We will never say bad things about my sister-in-law again."
Lu Qingyun glanced at the military wives indifferently, his tone was piercingly cold, "I will deal with this matter seriously." He didn't expect that these military wives had been saying bad things about Yaoyao behind her back. Yaoyao was his wife, and he would never let Yaoyao suffer any grievances.
After saying that, Lu Qingyun walked towards his home without looking back.
The military wives looked at each other, all with sad faces.
Back at the courtyard, Lu Qingyun pushed open the gate and walked into the house, and saw Ling Yao and Ji Yuanming sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.
Walking forward, Lu Qingyun sat down on the chair next to Ling Yao. He reached out and held Ling Yao's hand, staring at her with a guilty look on his face, "Yaoyao, I've heard that you have been wronged. Don't worry, I will deal with this matter seriously."
"Yeah." Ling Yao smiled and nodded. It's great to have them to protect her! She will never fight alone in this life again.
"We must deal with it seriously and rectify the atmosphere of this family courtyard. You don't know how those military wives slandered Yaoyao behind her back. If they were not women, I would have beaten them up." Ji Yuanming is very angry when he thinks about it now.
Seeing Ji Yuanming so angry, Lu Qingyun knew that what those military wives said must be disgusting. He was also extremely angry and stood up. "Let's go, let's go to the instructor now."
