Ge Qiuqin didn't know why Xia Enruo was so angry today, which made Chen Yan leave her home.
She took her mother-in-law out to a restaurant early in the morning, which showed she was a kind-hearted girl. Besides, her mother-in-law had always treated her coldly, and she was used to it.
Xia Enruo probably felt uncomfortable seeing the whole family standing alone, and she was only trying to help herself.
Ge Qiuqin stood up to find a cup to pour tea for Xia Enruo.
"Xia, please sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea to warm you up."
Seeing that her task was complete, Xia Enruo pulled Ge Qiuqin aside and said:
"Sister-in-law, no need to bother. I'll go back after saying hello to Auntie. Gu Shaoxuan is still waiting for me. Sister-in-law, come out with me, I have something to say to you."
Ge Qiuqin followed her out of the house.
"Xia, is something the matter?"
The two stood in the courtyard.
Zhang Xin pressed his face against the window, trying to hear what Xia Enruo had to say, but he couldn't hear a sound through the door.
"Sister-in-law Qiuqin, next time Chen Yan comes, don't give her a nice look. If she says anything nasty again and you can't handle it, come to my house and find me."
"Xia, isn't that girl quite nice? My mother-in-law was so happy to see her. She's also very generous; she treated the three of them to breakfast early this morning."
When Xia Enruo heard Ge Qiuqin say this, she was completely kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.
"Oh, my silly sister-in-law, just remember what I said, that Chen Yan is no good. Also, if you get bullied at home next time, come find me right away, okay?"
"Sister-in-law, I understand. Xia, thank you."
Although Ge Qiuqin didn't understand what was wrong with Chen Yan, she was certain that Xia Enruo's words made sense and that she was doing it for her own good. Hearing this warmed her heart.
When Gu Shaoxuan saw Xia Enruo enter the house, he had been worried ever since she left, fearing that his wife had been mistreated or bullied.
"Enruo, how are you? Did you get upset?"
For the first time, Xia Enruo realized the power of Gu Shaoxuan's rank in the military. As his nominal wife, Zhang Xin and her family addressed him as "leader." Although she had said a few unpleasant things to Chen Yan, they dared not say anything because of Gu Shaoxuan's position.
I never thought Gu Shaoxuan, the chief of staff, was of any use before, but I never expected him to come in handy at Zhang Xin's house today!
Haha! Gu Shaoxuan is still a "leader." Even Zhang Xin respects him a lot when he hears that.
"How could that be? Chief of Staff Gu, I didn't expect you to be so useful as an officer."
Gu Shaoxuan was completely confused. What was Xia Enruo talking about?
"You went there. How was the battle? Did you manage to rescue Sister-in-law Qiuqin from her predicament?"
Xia Enruo recounted what had just happened.
"I didn't expect that! Zhang Xin is so afraid of you? Even his mother calls me 'leader' all the time, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."
When Gu Shaoxuan heard that his wife was praising him, he immediately perked up.
"I'm Zhang Xin's boss, so it's right that he calls you that. After all, you're my wife."
Xia Enruo looked at his smug expression as he spoke, raising his eyebrows, and saw his beaming face and honey-smiling grin. She felt happy too.
"Alright. Before you're fully recovered, let me be an official's wife for two days, at least I can have some fun."
In her past life, she watched many military dramas, and the military wives in them were all radiant. She never thought she would experience it herself in this life. Even if she got divorced in the future, she wouldn't regret it, after all, she had fulfilled her dream of being a military wife in her past life.
When Gu Shaoxuan heard that Xia Enruo was only willing to stay for two days, it seemed that she still harbored thoughts of divorce. What should he do? He had to work harder to love his wife and make her willing to stay for a lifetime.
Chen Yan was humiliated and stormed out of the residential compound. She took three steps and looked back to see if Zhang Xin had followed, but she couldn't see him no matter how many times she looked back.
"That damn Zhang Xin, I'll teach him a lesson. He didn't even come with me, not even to see me off."
And that little bitch, she looks so familiar, I can't remember where I've seen her before. She has such a sharp tongue, how dare she insult me.
I'm the head editor of the newspaper. She may be pretty, but she's completely uncultured, like a shrew from a market.
Chen Yan took a car all the way to the art troupe to find Jiang Pei. They grew up together, their parents knew each other, and they were best friends, the kind who would risk their lives for each other.
Jiang Pei has a better job than her, but she is prettier than Jiang Pei. This is the only factor that allows the two to maintain a long-term relationship. Only when one of them is better than the other can they feel more balanced.
"Jiang Pei, you mean Gu Shaoxuan's wife? Who does she think she is, criticizing me in front of the whole family? She's just meddling in other people's business."
Chen Yan stood in front of Jiang Pei with her hands on her hips and started cursing.
"You... went to Shao Xuan's house? He's been discharged from the hospital?"
Ever since Jiang Pei was angered by Xia Enruo, she has never gone to the hospital to see Gu Shaoxuan again. It's not that she doesn't want to go, but she's afraid. She heard that Qiao Huizhen and Xia Enruo had a conflict and were both fired. She felt weak and alone, and she would only feel ashamed if she went.
Besides, Xia Enruo is so sharp-tongued, she wouldn't have the upper hand even if she went there, which makes people really hate her.
Jiang Pei wanted nothing more than to skin her alive. This time, even her best friend disliked her. She really had an ally. She had to teach her a lesson.
“I went to Zhang Xin’s house with him. As soon as Xia Enruo entered the house, she started laughing at me. If it weren’t for the fact that her husband’s official rank was higher than Zhang Xin’s, I would have definitely made a few sarcastic remarks to her.”
Jiang Pei smiled outwardly, but inwardly thought, "Your clumsy tongue can't even out-argue me, yet you want to insult Xia Enruo. You really don't know your own limitations."
"What? You're having an affair with Zhang Xin? You've really got guts, now you're even coming to challenge the wife, and Ge Qiuqin hasn't said anything about it?"
"What could that old woman possibly say? Judging from her figure, appearance, and education, she's nothing but a lowly peasant."
"Sigh. You wouldn't believe it, even Zhang Xin's mother looks down on her; she always gives her the sideways glances."
Jiang Pei knew Zhang Xin, but in her eyes he wasn't even as good as Gu Shaoxuan's toes. This Chen Yan really made Sha Zi squint at him.
“I said, what’s so good about Zhang Xin that you care so much about him? Look at him, and his family. You don’t know that his family is not well-off. He has many brothers and sisters who are all farmers in the village.”
Upon hearing Jiang Pei speak ill of Zhang Xin, Chen Yan refused to comply.
“Zhang Xin has many good qualities, such as his writing and his willingness to listen to me.”
She lay down next to Jiang Pei and said.
"Enough already, stop talking nonsense."
"Let's go again in a couple of days. I'll go see Shaoxuan; I haven't gone even though he's been discharged. Let's work together to deal with Xia Enruo. With the two of us there this time, I doubt she'll dare treat me like she did last time."
When Chen Yan heard that Zhi Xia Enruo was interested, she was eager to vent her anger, as she had truly lost face today.
"That bitch Xia Enruo, she must be made a fool of herself."
