However, as soon as the hand was raised, it was grabbed by Lu Jiangting who had rushed over.

"Fang Qing, what are you doing?"

Lin Yuyao turned her head to look at Lu Jiangting. One of her eyes was swollen and the surrounding area was blue and purple.

Sure enough, the injury was more serious than Fu Huaiyi.

Fang Qing was stunned for a moment when she saw Lu Jiangting suddenly appear, and then she cried, "Jiang Ting, I was so angry that I came to her to argue. You obviously fought with Fu Huaiyi for her, but she said it was for me. Isn't this nonsense?"

Lu Jiangting was startled, "Yuyao, I..."

Lin Yuyao raised her hand to stop him from continuing, "Fang Qing said she would go to your unit to seek justice for you. Think carefully about how you got injured..."

Lu Jiangting's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and glared at Fang Qing, saying, "Didn't I tell you that I fell accidentally?"

"You're protecting her? She no longer has you in her heart, and you're still protecting her? Jiang Ting, wake up."

"I am very sober, and you are the one who is not." Lu Jiangting pinched Fang Qing's arm hard and dragged her to the back of the house.

The house they rented was the one at the back, and they kept taking her home.

Fang Qing was furious. "I care about you, but you still help Lin Yuyao? Do you know the difference between relatives and strangers? I remind you, we are married."

"You knew we were married?"

"Jiang Ting..."

"Since you know we are married, can you please think about me?"

Fang Qing was startled, "What do you mean?"

"Please use your brain. I was beaten up like this and I was trying to cover it up, but you were still making a fuss. When Lao Wang asked me, I said I was drunk and fell. Can you think about why?"

Why?

"Are you worried that the incident will have a bad impact on Lin Yuyao? She and Fu Huaiyi haven't married yet, and haven't passed the political review yet. If it gets out that you and he had a fight over Lin Yuyao..."

"Shut up." Lu Jiangting said angrily, "Do you think that I can be a perfect victim just because Fu Huaiyi was the only one punished in this matter? If it really gets to Lao Wang, we will both blame each other. I will have to take the same punishment as him. I'll be punished in retrospect, and I won't be able to participate in the projects in the second half of the year."

Fang Qing, "That guy surnamed Fu isn't much better. Are you afraid of him? Otherwise, how would he dare to hit you like that?"

"Yeah." Lu Jiangting smiled sinisterly, "Guess why he's not afraid and why he dares to hit me like that?"

Fang Qing thought for a while and said, "I guess he treats you like this because he knows you don't dare to make a big fuss."

"Yes." Lu Jiangting nodded in agreement again, "Then guess again, why did he know that I dare not make a big fuss?"

"Because... you value your future more than he does."

"Yes, then why do I consider my future more important than his?"

Fang Qing: “…”

"Do you know Fu Huaiyi's background?"

How would she know this?

"I only know that he, you and Jianjun were classmates and all graduated from military academies."

"Yes, but he is different from us. His grandfather is the chief of our military region who retired five years ago. This military region is full of his students and former subordinates.

Although Lao Wang has the right to make him receive the same punishment as me, the higher-ups will definitely put pressure on Lao Wang and compensate him from other sources.

There are many ways to praise or criticize openly, and if they want to, it is easy to mess with people like us who have no background. Go ahead and make trouble, and you will be satisfied if you make me go back home to farm."

Fang Qing only then realized that the man Lin Yuyao found was so powerful that she was so scared that she dared not say a word.

It took a long time before she found her voice again.

"Then...if you beat him up, he won't...try to get revenge on you in secret, right?"

Lu Jiangting took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "No."

He has known Fu Huaiyi for many years and he is clear about his character.

He will not take revenge on others, and he does not like others to take special care of him because he is the elder in the family.

Lu Jiangting is also aware of his own abilities.

Although he doesn't have the family background of Fu Huaiyi, he works hard and has good skills, so Lao Wang likes him very much.

As long as he doesn't make the conflict with Fu Huaiyi public and doesn't make it too embarrassing, Lao Wang will protect him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to fight with Fu Huaiyi several times.

After hearing what Lu Jiangting said, Fang Qing was completely convinced and didn't dare to say anything to disturb Lao Wang anymore.

However, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought that after she snatched Lu Jiangting away, Lin Yuyao actually found someone better.

Since he is the chief's grandson, how could he fall in love with a country girl like Lin Yuyao?

"With his status, how could he be interested in Lin Yuyao?"

Thinking this way, she said it out loud.

Lu Jiangting said with a cold face, "What happened to Yuyao?"

Fang Qing: “…”

Lu Jiangting sighed, lowered his head and said, "Yuyao is very good, I am sorry for her."

Fang Qing was speechless for a while, thinking that these men were really shameless.

You're saying he's fine now? What were you doing before?

Besides...she didn't see what was good about Lin Yuyao.

Apart from her good looks, isn't she just a country girl?

She was just a little luckier than himself. Her parents and brothers were kind to her and were willing to raise her.

If her own family could treat her better, she would definitely be able to find a better in-law family with her abilities.

"Jiang Ting." Fang Qing took out the ointment and said, "Let me help you apply it. It's been a few days and it's still not healed."

Lu Jiangting looked at the ointment and asked, "Did you buy this?"

"Yeah, although... although we don't have much money, I can't bear to see you like this."

Lu Jiangting pushed away her outstretched hand. "I got some ointment from the army. I don't need it anymore. Take it and return it."

When asked her to take out money to buy medicine, he just said that.

I just didn't expect her to refuse.

It really made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

Fang Qing pinched the ointment, her face grim. "How can I return the medicine after it's been opened? I've already bought it, so I'll just help you with it."

She took it again and tried to undress him.

Lu Jiangting was very annoyed and pushed her away, saying angrily: "I told you not to use it. I have a soft tissue injury. With such a big bruise, what good can your five-cent medicine do?"

Yes, Fang Qing was willing to buy him a five-cent ointment.

I didn’t want to say more, but it was money that was spent, wasn’t it?

But he was angry that the five-cent ointment had to be applied to his body, and he was afraid that it would cause his skin to rot.

He might as well have gotten it for free from the military doctor.

Fang Qing felt very uncomfortable holding the ointment. She sat on the ground and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Jiang Ting, we are already married, don't you want me to get close to you?"

Lu Jiangting was stunned.

He didn't think so at first, but after hearing her say that, he thought about it seriously.

Yes, he really didn't seem to want her to get close to him.
