Su Yueya shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but she was in a particularly good mood all day.
When she got home that evening, she took the initiative to ask her mother about it.
"Mom, Liu Dekai failed to get promoted again at the promotion ceremony today, right?"
"You heard about it so quickly?"
“It’s not just hearsay,” Su Yueya smiled, unable to hide her smugness. “It was Liu Dekai who came to the medical department in a frenzy to personally tell me the good news.”
"What?" Liu Yuying was startled and immediately pulled her daughter up and down, looking her over with great concern. "He went to the medical department to look for you? Did he do anything to you? Are you alright?"
After all, Su Yueya is pregnant. If Liu Dekai goes crazy, he could not only hurt Su Yueya but also the baby, which would be a serious matter.
Even if someone can be held accountable afterward, Su Yueya suffered real harm, a regret that cannot be made up for no matter how much accountability is pursued.
Moreover, Liu Yuying was unaware that Lu Zhengjun was still alive. She felt that the child in Su Yueya's belly was her and Lu Zhengjun's only child, and she couldn't imagine how heartbroken her daughter would be if she lost it.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry!" Su Yueya grabbed her mother's hand and shook her head. "My colleagues are all protecting me, and he wouldn't dare. I said he was crazy because he thinks the reason he failed is because I talked badly about him to you, preventing him from getting promoted twice... He's ridiculous!"
"It's truly laughable!" Liu Yuying was relieved, but at the same time felt even more disgusted with Liu Dekai.
Thankfully, they didn't do anything to Su Yueya. If Liu Dekai had dared to do anything bad to Su Yueya, Liu Yuying would never have let him off the hook.
"Tell me about today's promotion meeting..."
Just then, Qiao Xinruo came over and asked them what they were talking about and why they looked so happy.
"No whispering allowed, I want to hear too!" Qiao Xinruo chimed in.
"Today's promotion meeting was very sudden. There was no prior warning. It was Mo Cheng who made the last-minute suggestion. My in-laws had something to do and couldn't attend. At the meeting, it was just me and Old Zhou, the two division commanders, and then..." Liu Yuying recounted what happened at the promotion meeting.
Qiao Xinruo was extremely nervous when she heard that Liu Dekai and Chen Yannan had tied for the top spot.
"Could he really have succeeded?" Qiao Xinruo said through gritted teeth.
"No, I suggested we hold a new vote later, since your older brother was deliberately sent away on a mission..."
"What?! Mo Cheng is too arrogant! Why did he push Liu Dekai to the top? He really went to any lengths. He even dared to use such despicable methods! Why did he send my brother away?!" Qiao Xinruo was furious. For the first time, she realized that Mo Cheng was even more despicable than she had imagined.
"You're not allowed to call Brigade Commander Mo by his name directly. It's fine if you say it at home, but it's absolutely unacceptable in the army. Be careful that someone with ulterior motives doesn't overhear and use it against you!" Liu Yuying immediately reminded her daughter with a serious expression.
"I know!" Qiao Xinruo said, "I only said that at home in front of you. I definitely wouldn't be so outspoken in the army!"
Only after she made her assurances did Liu Yuying and Su Yueya feel at ease.
"Mom, please continue!" she said, tugging at Liu Yuying's arm and begging to hear what happened next.
“Mo Cheng had planned this all along. He needed to finish quickly, so he proposed another vote, between Chen Yannan and Liu Dekai. His reason was that even if they changed the time, they might not be able to gather everyone, which was reasonable. Besides, Lao Zhou had already spoken up, so it wasn't convenient for me to insist anymore, and so…”
When it came to the final choice between the two, Liu Dekai gained five votes, while Chen Yannan received seventy-six votes, a surge in votes that delighted Qiao Xinruo and Su Yueya.
"No wonder he was so angry and even came to the medical department to throw a tantrum. I never expected it to be so embarrassing!" Su Yueya laughed, not expecting reality to be even more interesting.
"So those original forty-odd votes he received were all from his father-in-law's side; it was impossible for anyone else to support him!"
"Xinruo, you can't be so absolute. They still gained five votes!" Su Yueya said, pretending to be serious.
"Yes!" Qiao Xinruo held up five fingers, exclaiming dramatically, "Five votes! That's five votes! That's incredible!!!"
After saying that, the two sisters broke down in laughter.
"Hahaha……"
"Honestly, I suspect those five people misheard and just raised their hands randomly," Qiao Xinruo complained.
This is not difficult to analyze.
Given Liu Dekai's character and his image in the military, it's hard to imagine that anyone, except for Mo Cheng's side, would genuinely want to see him promoted.
Therefore, what Su Yueya said in the medical department today was not only meant to hurt Liu Dekai's feelings, but also a statement of fact.
Whether Liu Dekai himself can truly realize the problem is up to him.

As time goes by, Su Yueya's pregnancy will soon reach its fifth month.
Her belly was very big, quite obvious.
She compared her belly to that of other pregnant women and found that it was larger than that of other five-month pregnant women.
"Could they be twins?" Su Yueya asked doubtfully.
After all, Liu Yuying gave birth to twins twice, which means that Su Yueya's genes also carry the gene for having twins, and it might really be true!
Once she had her suspicions, she immediately went to verify them, since five months had already revealed quite a bit of information.
In previous examinations, Su Yueya didn't delve too deeply into the details, as long as she and her baby were healthy. This time, however, she focused on the baby.
Before getting on the machine, she made some adjustments to specifically check the baby, and only then did she discover that the scanner also had an ultrasound function.
Looking at the image on the screen, Su Yueya confirmed that she was carrying twins!
"It really is!"
Su Yueya was very excited. She never expected that her suspicions would come true. They really were twins. This was wonderful!
"It's a pity, the two babies are in such a position that you can't tell their genders..." Su Yueya said with a hint of regret.
This ultrasound scan gave Su Yueya a very different feeling.
Previously, she had only been confirming whether she and the baby were healthy; apart from her own growing belly, she didn't have a strong sense of being pregnant.
After all, she had been drinking the spiritual spring water and had almost no adverse reactions during her pregnancy.
Seeing the blurry images of the two babies at this moment, she felt as if she had finally realized the reality and truly felt the connection between herself and the two little lives, that feeling of being connected by blood.
"Maybe we should wait a little longer. Maybe the little guy will roll over and change position!" Su Yueya said with a smile, deciding to wait a few more minutes.
However, whether out of politeness or to surprise Su Yueya, the two little ones didn't change their position, dashing her hopes of confirming their gender.
