Lian Xiao raised an eyebrow, surprised that she would be so frank.
Xu Xinghe indeed never considered denying it.
Even though many of the letters were written at Wang Zhizhi's instigation, she was the one who held the pen and wrote the words. Wang Zhizhi didn't hold a knife to her neck and force her to write like that.
So, in the end, this is what she did back then, the sin she committed.
Xu Xinghe's tone was not heavy, "A mistake is a mistake, and there's no use denying it. It's better to admit it openly, and I will make Jiang Linchuan forgive me."
Lian Xiao rubbed his fingers together; Xu Xinghe always surprised him.
When faced with this situation, shouldn't a woman's first reaction be fear and making excuses?
She admitted it with great confidence.
"You still want him to forgive you? It's all over the military now, and I've heard the news. It wasn't just one letter, it was many letters. That's enough to prove that Jiang Linchuan did this on purpose. He clearly doesn't want to save you any face and wants to break off the engagement. Under these circumstances, what do you think you can do?"
Lian Xiao stepped forward, looking down at her crown and the tip of her fair nose. "How about this, I'll call Grandpa and have him take you back to Shanghai as soon as possible. Since you two hate each other now, you might as well separate."
"Jiang Linchuan doesn't like you, that's why he leaked your private letters. And you don't like him either, otherwise you wouldn't have written three pages of insults. Take this opportunity to break it off and go back to Shanghai to live your good life. It's better than staying here and having to put up with other people's attitudes."
Jiang Linchuan is highly respected in the military. Once this incident comes out, Xu Xinghe will definitely be subjected to countless scornful looks.
Returning to Shanghai is her best option right now.
Xu Xinghe raised her head. "Who said I don't like Jiang Linchuan? I did write a letter to scold him, but I like him!"
Lian Xiao stiffened, feeling inexplicably annoyed. "Then aren't you crazy? You like it but you still curse it?"
“That was before. I like him a lot now. I was young and blind back then and didn’t see how good he was. Now I do.”
Xu Xinghe turned around and went back into the room, taking out canned food and nutritional supplements from her spatial storage. "Thank you for telling me all this. This is a gift to express my gratitude."
Lian Xiao scoffed, "Who cares? Just don't regret it."
He turned and left.
This little girl really doesn't appreciate kindness!
Let her continue to suffer here! Once she's endured enough hardship, she'll naturally become afraid and will definitely come begging me to return to Shanghai!
Seeing that he didn't take it, Xu Xinghe put the item back into her space.
The next second, her eyes widened suddenly.
space!
How could she forget that!
There's medicine in the space!
If Li Xingzhou dared to drug her, why shouldn't she retaliate in kind?
Moreover, Jiang Linchuan definitely didn't expose the letter. He's not that kind of person. Even if he's angry or furious, he wouldn't do something so disgusting.
So it's probably Wang Zhizhi who did it. She's the only one who knows about it, and what she did is equivalent to what Li Xingzhou did.
Yes, it's all Li Xingzhou's fault!
If it weren't for Li Xingzhou, Wang Zhizhi probably wouldn't have been able to come to Heilongjiang Province at all; he is the source of all evil!
Xu Xinghe closed the door, immediately entered the space, and took out the medicinal herbs.
She needed to find a way to drug Li Xingzhou, make him look bad in front of everyone, and incidentally help reduce the heat surrounding her.
After preparing the medicinal herbs, Xu Xinghe immediately went out.
She hadn't gone far when a petite figure darted out and blocked her way.
She was a young nurse in a white coat, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had delicate features, and although her skin wasn't very fair, she gave off a very clean vibe.
The young nurse, with one hand on her hip, pointed at Xu Xinghe's nose and launched into a tirade, "Xu Xinghe, you're shameless! You don't even appreciate such a good person as Commander Jiang, and you even wrote a letter to curse him! Someone like you doesn't deserve to be here!"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice sharp and piercing, "Commander Jiang didn't blame you, and even let you stay here, but you turned around and went to seduce someone else, and now you're humiliating him like this, doesn't your conscience hurt? If you have any shame at all, get out of here!"
Xu Xinghe wasn't angry; instead, she silently observed the young nurse.
Hmm, she's obviously your rival in love.
She must really like Jiang Linchuan to be so angry.
The nurse, having finished her tirade, continued to glare at her, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that!"
"I know you like Jiang Linchuan, but I won't leave, nor will I give him up to you, so give up and find someone more suitable for you."
The nurse stood there stunned, not expecting such an attitude. After a long while, she managed to stammer out, "You...how can you be so shameless!"
"Enough, stop yelling!" Zhou Chengmu rushed over and shielded Xu Xinghe behind him. "You've all misunderstood. Miss Xu and I never hugged! It's just that people saw it wrong!"
The nurse got angry again, resuming her previous fighting spirit, "You're talking nonsense! If you two weren't that close, who would have mistaken you? Commander Jiang is so good to you, and you turn around and try to seduce Commander Jiang's fiancée, you have no shame!"
A crowd of onlookers gradually gathered around, and the whispers and pointing fingers grew louder and louder.
Among them were several military wives who were acquainted with Xu Xinghe. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were equally unfriendly.
Xu Xinghe took a deep breath. "Zhou Chengmu, let's go first."
Staying here will do no good; it will only make us a laughingstock.
Zhou Chengmu nodded, deliberately keeping his distance from Xu Xinghe to avoid her being gossiped about again.
Looking at that petite figure from behind, he felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
Why did it turn out like this?
Miss Xu is such a good person, how come she always encounters these kinds of things?
God is so unfair!
As for those letters, they were definitely not written by her. Even if they were, there must be some unknown reason behind them!
The two arrived at a secluded corner.
Xu Xinghe then asked softly, "Could you tell me what exactly happened?"
She understands the matter of faith.
But when did she hug Zhou Chengmu?
She acknowledges what she did.
But she absolutely will not accept baseless accusations!
Zhou Chengmu bit his cheek, his drooping eyes looking pitiful, his gaze unfocused, not daring to look at her. "This...this is all my fault. It was when you were taking my hand measurements that day that someone saw us. At that time, Commander Jiang was out on a mission and sent someone to secretly protect you. It was that person who told everyone about it."
His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, like that of a big dog with droopy ears.
He truly regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have said that his hands were the same size as Jiang Linchuan's, and then this wouldn't have happened.
Xu Xinghe nodded, indicating that she understood, without any intention of taking her anger out on him. "Is there anything else? Tell me everything you know."
"Well... there's also the matter of you meeting with outsiders at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the unclear things about meeting with Dr. Li every day."
Xu Xinghe's heart sank completely.
These things, which were originally insignificant, have been embellished and exaggerated in the current environment, and have probably become unbearable rumors.
She had to go find Jiang Linchuan and explain things clearly.
Xu Xinghe looked at Zhou Chengmu and said, "I'm the one who dragged you into this. Don't worry, I will definitely clear things up."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Zhou Chengmu was worried about her and wanted to follow, but after taking only one step, he stopped in his tracks.
What good would it do him to go?
He was just a soldier, someone no one would listen to even if he explained himself.
Moreover, the more he spends with Xu Xinghe, the worse it is for Xu Xinghe's reputation.
Zhou Chengmu covered his head and squatted on the ground.
He's a good-for-nothing. He can only watch helplessly as the girl he likes goes through everything, and he can't even help her in the slightest!
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with an alarming light.
He also wants to climb up, just like Jiang Linchuan.
Once he has enough status and position, he might have a chance to compete for it, instead of just watching the girl he likes fall into someone else's arms!
