Chapter 86 Turning the Tables
He Mingzhou's comforting words brought a smile to Xin Li's eyes.
"Aren't you angry with me?"
What she just did would definitely make others think she was petty and deliberately causing trouble.
After all, she was the daughter of the deputy commander.
"Why blame you? I would have handled it even if you hadn't."
"I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will absolutely not let that happen."
“We are a legally married couple, I am your husband, and I will never let you suffer any injustice.”
He Mingzhou's tone was very firm.
Xin Li had no doubt about the truthfulness of He Mingzhou's words.
Having spent so much time together, Xin Li knew very well what kind of person He Mingzhou was.
If he really cared about Xie Shuangshuang's identity and family background, he wouldn't have ignored her in the first place.
If he had been willing to have anything happen between him and Xie Shuangshuang, he would have given in when he went to train with the provincial team.
When Xinli first heard Aunt Yang's words, she did have some doubts and wavered in her heart.
But after actually seeing Xie Shuangshuang, Xin Li was no longer worried at all.
It wasn't that she felt Xie Shuangshuang wasn't a threat, but rather that she trusted He Mingzhou.
As long as the man remains steadfast, no matter how powerful the other woman is, it won't matter.
"Then you don't need to worry about me at all."
"I will absolutely not hold you back."
He Mingzhou gave a soft "Mmm": "You just do what you want to do, leave the rest to me."
Xinli smiled at the man.
"Aren't you afraid I'll make things spiral out of control?"
Although Xinli was joking, her eyes were very serious.
Although she didn't want to do anything reckless, she needed He Mingzhou to make his stance clear.
"I'm not afraid."
"Just do what you like, and I'll take care of everything for you."
Xin Li's expression was somewhat strange.
He Mingzhou's words had a hidden meaning.
However, Xin Li didn't actually know much about He Mingzhou's affairs.
So I didn't ask any further questions.
He Mingzhou must have his own plans for his career. Since he is not afraid of being targeted, what is she afraid of?
"good."
Xin Li smiled and took He Mingzhou's arm: "Then let's go see how they'll talk about us."
He Mingzhou gently pinched Xin Li's nose.
"So eager to see some entertainment?"
Xin Li squinted, her expression relaxed, but her tone carried a hint of fierceness: "Of course, would you be happy to be dragged into a group of people cursing you for no reason?"
He Mingzhou nodded and said, "I am indeed unhappy."
"However, the supplies are currently with them, and those people might make you suffer some injustice."
"fine."
Xinli didn't care much about these things.
Anyway, Xie Shuangshuang would never lay a hand on her in front of everyone.
Xinli was also very confident in herself; at worst, she would just have to go through what happened on the island again.
She never paid any attention to those people, so their prejudices and biases had no effect on Xinli whatsoever.
When the two arrived at the front hall, they indeed saw Xiaoling crying and sobbing to those people.
"Our Shuangshuang worked so hard to deliver supplies to you, and I really didn't expect to be treated like this... Although Shuangshuang is the deputy commander's daughter, she never uses her status to intimidate others. In fact, she has always been like a little sister next door in the team. This time, in order not to delay the rescue, Shuangshuang rushed all the way, and was even afraid of wasting time by drinking a sip of water."
"I thought I would see happy and grateful smiles when I came here, but I didn't expect to be scolded and beaten."
"You be the judge! What did we do wrong? Why are we being treated like this? Shuangshuang is completely innocent. She shouldn't have to suffer like this. She came with good intentions, and this is how she gets rewarded? Must good people in this world always be bullied? Is there any justice in this world?"
The people Xie Shuangshuang brought were all filled with righteous indignation.
One by one, they looked grim and said they wanted to settle scores with Xin Li.
He Mingzhou's soldiers naturally didn't believe it was true, so someone stepped forward to ease the tension and asked, "Really?"
“We’ve met your sister-in-law. She has a very good temper. Besides, she was feeling unwell due to seasickness before, so she was probably resting and didn’t have time to cause trouble for you. When did she attack you? It’s unlikely that she would hit someone.”
Xie Shuangshuang was even more furious when she saw that the people around He Mingzhou had such a good impression of Xin Li.
But she had to maintain her victim persona, so she could only sob and cry, unable to refute the claims.
Xiaoling spoke up sensibly, "So, did I slap myself in the face?"
She showed the others the spot where she had been hit: "I know you're closer to Xin Li, but you can't just distort the truth like this, can you? Would we hit ourselves to slander her?"
"She even tried to hit Shuangshuang. If I hadn't stopped her with my life, Shuangshuang would have been hit too! Our Shuangshuang has always been pampered since she was little. When has she ever suffered such grievances!"
When the others saw that Xiaoling's face did indeed show signs of being beaten, they hesitated for a moment.
The people Xie Shuangshuang brought could no longer contain their anger: "How could there be such a vicious person!"
"No, we can't let her stay here any longer. Who knows if she'll try to harm Miss Xie again? We need to confront her. If we confirm she's a dangerous individual, we must prepare as soon as possible!"
Xiaoling immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, you guys hurry up and subdue her. That Xinli is a complete shrew. She attacks without warning and doesn't respect us at all!"
“We’re from the provincial team, while Xin Li is just a military wife. Who does she think she is to dare lay a hand on us? Isn’t this a slap in our face?”
Xiaoling's actions stirred things up, and even someone who wasn't usually angry started to lose their temper.
"Okay, let's go right now!"
They were proud of their status, and Xin Li's humiliation of Xie Shuangshuang was tantamount to humiliating the deputy commander. How could they bear their anger?
Anyone who slanders a soldier should be punished!
"No need to look anymore, we're already here."
Xin Li and He Mingzhou listened in the shadows for a long time. Seeing how easily these people were tricked and provoked, Xin Li curled her lips, her eyes filled with speechlessness.
Those people froze in place upon hearing Xin Li's words.
"you……"
They looked at Xin Li, then turned to look at He Mingzhou, and hesitated to utter any harsh words.
After all, He Mingzhou is someone the deputy commander has high hopes for, and he might become the deputy commander's son-in-law in the future.
They have to give them some face.
"Deputy Division Commander!"
"Deputy Division Commander, you've finally arrived! What exactly happened?"
He Mingzhou's men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him come out.
They greatly admired He Mingzhou and believed that no matter what the problem was, He Mingzhou could solve it easily and they wouldn't have to worry about it at all.
"Don't be impatient."
He Mingzhou gave his men a look.
The people immediately fell silent.
But Xiaoling wouldn't let this opportunity pass, so she pointed directly at Xinli and shrieked, "It's her! Xinli hit us just now, and she was going to hit Shuangshuang too! Arrest her right now!"
