Chapter 30 recording leaked! That scheming woman is courting disaster!
Since her last free clinic made her famous, Su Yue has become a sensation in the military family compound.
She was no longer just "Commander Gu's beautiful fiancée from Shanghai," but had become the "miracle doctor Xiao Su" in everyone's eyes.
Today, my neighbor's wife twisted her back, but after a few massages from Su Yue, she was back to her usual energetic self.
If the Xi family's child gets an upset stomach tomorrow, Su Yue will prescribe a simple dietary remedy, and it will be effective after just one dose.
For a time, Su Yue's courtyard was bustling with activity, and the kitchen was almost overflowing with eggs and vegetables brought by military wives.
Life seemed to be progressing in the leisurely and comfortable direction she had envisioned, but Su Yue keenly sensed that beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were quietly surging.
At first, it was just a few military wives who were always gossiping. When they saw her, they avoided eye contact and huddled together whispering.
Su Yue didn't take it seriously; other people can say whatever they want, it's none of her business.
But gradually, the winds of change shifted.
Rumors and gossip began to grow wildly, like weeds in spring.
"Have you heard? That Su Yue, she looks quiet and gentle, but her behavior is actually very problematic."
"Yes, I've seen her talking to other men several times, laughing heartily."
"That's not all! I heard she wasn't pregnant at all; she was pretending to be pregnant to trick Commander Gu into marrying her!"
This rumor was so detailed and malicious that it targeted a woman's reputation and the very foundation of her marriage.
Some of the military wives who were originally very enthusiastic towards Su Yue also became more subtle in their attitude, with a hint of inquiry and doubt in their eyes.
That day, Aunt Li carried a basin of freshly washed clothes and deliberately went around to Su Yue's door. She lowered her voice and said, "Little Su, you have to be careful. There are some nasty rumors going around the neighborhood. They're really awful."
Su Yue was drying herbs in the courtyard when she heard this. She merely raised her eyelids and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Thank you, Aunt Li, I understand."
Seducing men? Fake pregnancy to trick them into marriage?
The methods and tactics are so sophisticated that you don't even need to think to guess.
Who else could it be but Liang Manyun, whom she humiliated in the hospital?
This is because they can't compete with me in medical skills, so they resort to these underhanded tactics.
Su Yue knew exactly what was going on, but she remained outwardly calm.
She's made up her mind: if we're going to play this game, we'll play it to the very end.
Over the next two days, Su Yue abandoned her usual composure and became completely dejected.
When the military wives came to her for minor ailments, she would see them, but she was always absent-minded, with red eyes, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice but was forcing herself to stay upright.
When someone asked her what was wrong, she lowered her head, shook her head vigorously, and forced a smile that looked worse than crying.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
The more she acted this way, the more suspicious the military wives became, and they started to believe the rumors a little more.
That afternoon, several military wives were washing clothes by the well in the yard when Su Yue also came over with a basin.
She silently fetched water and scrubbed her clothes, but tears fell "plop, plop" into the basin.
Wang, a woman who was close to Liang Manyun, deliberately raised her voice: "Hey, a person has to be upright and honest, otherwise it will definitely feel bad if people talk behind their backs."
Su Yue's shoulders trembled, and she cried even harder.
She choked back tears, her voice not loud, but just loud enough for everyone around to hear: "Beichen... Beichen is coming back the day after tomorrow... I was going to wait for him happily, but now... how can I face him..."
After saying that, she picked up the clothes that weren't finished washing, covered her face, and ran home.
The news spread like wildfire, reaching Liang Manyun's ears in less than half an hour.
Liang Manyun was painting her nails in her dormitory. After listening to her confidant's report, she smugly blew on the nail polish.
"Did you cry? Gu Beichen is coming back the day after tomorrow?"
The smile on her face grew increasingly sinister.
"Great, excellent! Let him see for himself what kind of person his carefully chosen fiancée is! Then, let's see how Su Yue can keep up her act!"
Liang Manyun felt her opportunity had arrived. She immediately gathered several military wives who were close to her and intensified the spread of rumors. They even fabricated details about Su Yue's "bad reputation" in Shanghai, just waiting for Gu Beichen to return so they could give him a "big gift".
Unbeknownst to her, an invisible net had already been quietly cast.
When Su Yue returned home and closed the door, the sadness on her face vanished instantly.
She took out a tiny recorder, no bigger than a button, from her storage space and clipped it to the collar of her most frequently worn shirt.
For the next two days, she was like a ghost, always appearing at the most opportune moment where Liang Manyun's confidants were chatting, recording their embellished and vicious words word for word.
Saturday was unusually lively in the military family compound. It was the political commissar's wife's birthday, and several tables were set up under the banyan tree in the courtyard.
Almost all the military wives were present, including Su Yue.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere was lively.
Liang Manyun, holding a glass of orange soda, strolled over to Su Yue with a fake expression of concern on her face.
"Comrade Su Yue, we've all been worried about you these past few days because you seem to be in a bad mood. Don't take those rumors to heart."
As soon as she spoke, the noise at the dinner table subsided considerably, and everyone's attention turned to her.
“However,” Liang Manyun’s tone suddenly turned sharp, “flies don’t land on eggs without cracks. We women still need to know how to respect and love ourselves, especially when our men are about to come back. If we cause any scandals, we’ll lose face for the entire military region.”
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Su Yue. She continued pointedly, "And what happened last time you saved Tie Dan? Thinking about it now still makes me shudder. You were just lucky. What if you'd missed? You don't even have a medical license, yet you dared to act so casually. That wasn't saving lives; it was a show, playing with children's lives!"
These words were extremely hurtful, not only attacking Su Yue's character but also completely denying the medical skills she relied on for her livelihood.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Some military wives began to look at Su Yue with suspicion again.
Su Yue slowly put down her chopsticks and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth.
She looked up at the smug Liang Manyun and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
The laughter was crisp, yet carried a chilling undertone, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
"Dr. Liang, it seems you really care about me a lot."
Su Yue stood up, looked around at the military wives with their various expressions, and then unbuttoned the small button from the collar of her shirt.
"Since everyone is so curious about my 'character issues,' how about we listen to where these rumors came from?"
She pressed it gently.
The next second, a clear female voice came from the radio.
"...Just say she's promiscuous, that she can't resist anyone in a military uniform! If word gets out that she faked her pregnancy to trick him into marriage, I don't believe Commander Gu will still want her!"
It's Liang Manyun's voice!
Vicious, sharp, and full of scheming!
In the recording, there were also the voices of several other military wives echoing each other, discussing how to make the rumors more convincing and how to "expose" Su Yue when Gu Beichen returned, using extremely vulgar language.
The entire courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All the military wives were stunned, their mouths agape, unable to believe their ears.
Liang Manyun's face drained of all color in an instant, turning as pale as paper.
"No...this isn't me! This is a fake! Su Yue, you bitch, you framed me!" she screamed incoherently.
"Framed you?" Su Yue stepped forward, her eyes sharp as knives. "Liang Manyun, I'd like to ask, who secretly wrote to Shanghai, spreading rumors that Beichen was seriously injured and disabled, trying to ruin our wedding? And who was it that shamelessly insisted on going with Beichen before his mission, and held a grudge after being rejected? You've repeatedly used your position to settle personal scores, spreading rumors and slander. Do you think everyone is a fool?"
"You keep talking about protecting the military region's reputation, but you're the one who's done the most shameful thing!"
Su Yue's words were powerful and resounding.
The military wives finally realized that they had been completely used as pawns by Liang Manyun!
"My God! Liang Manyun, how could you be so vicious!"
"We actually believed your nonsense! What are you up to?!"
"No! This must be reported to the family committee! This is terrible!"
Accusations and curses poured towards Liang Manyun from all directions.
Liang Manyun trembled with fear at the sight of the crowd. Under the contemptuous and angry gazes of the crowd, she could no longer stay. She pushed through the crowd and fled in panic like a stray dog.
