Chapter 391: Disgraced
After knowing Xia Qingqing's purpose and seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhu Wanru's face turned red unconsciously. She felt so flustered for the first time. Mo Zhenzhen, who was being held by her, didn't know how serious the consequences would be, and didn't seem as nervous as her mother.
Amid everyone's puzzled looks, Xia Qingying answered her previous question, and she spoke in a clear and steady voice:
"Because Comrade Zhu did something that disrespected military discipline and regulations, he was afraid of being exposed, so he wanted to "escape" as soon as
possible." Amid everyone's even more curious looks, Xia Qingying continued: "A month ago, the newspaper published an article about Mo Zhenzhen's attempt to usurp Comrade Mo Ya's place in the art troupe and insulted and beat her. I'm sure everyone knows about this." At this point, she looked at Zhu Wanru:
"Comrade Zhu Wanru, as the family member of the deputy chief of staff, not only did not teach her daughter well and reform herself, but instead tried to use her connections to get Mo Zhenzhen into our art troupe."
After hearing what Xia Qingxi said, the people in the audience immediately looked down on Zhu Wanru and her daughter.
Zhu Wanru was completely out of her usual elegance and composure at this moment, with panic and shame intertwined on her face. She had lived for most of her life and had never been "humiliated" like this in public. She felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Mo Zhenzhen, who was standing next to her, finally reacted and turned to look at Xia Qingxi on the stage viciously, with hatred in her eyes.
Zhu Wanru felt so ashamed that she couldn't stay any longer. She was about to push away the two soldiers who were blocking her, but they stood straight and had no intention of letting them go.
Seeing the two people blocking her, Zhu Wanru knew that she had no way out. Instead of standing here and waiting to be humiliated by Xia Qingxi, she might as well take a chance. She turned around and looked at Xia Qingxi, with a voice full of grievance:
"Comrade Xia, I know I was wrong to question your professional ability just now, but you can't make up lies to slander me because you are dissatisfied." At this point, her eyes were already covered with a layer of mist, and she explained to everyone:
"I went to see Headmaster Mu today just to apply for the piano teacher position in the group. It was not what Comrade Xia Qingying said that I was going to use the back door for Zhenzhen."
She said this, betting that Headmaster Mu would not stand up and expose her for the sake of their Mo Jianguo being the deputy chief of staff. After all, in her eyes, smart people would protect themselves and would not deliberately make enemies for themselves.
Xia Qingying did not expect Zhu Wanru to still be making excuses for herself until now. She unconsciously cast her eyes on Headmaster Mu in the audience. Now only Headmaster Mu's words were the key.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Director Mu stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone and said to everyone:
"What Teacher Xia said just now... is absolutely true! Comrade Zhu came to see me today, and it was indeed about Mo Zhenzhen joining the art troupe." Amid everyone's exclamations, she continued:
"Everyone knows that our art troupe has not had a chief pianist for two years. For this matter, I visited Comrade Zhu many times, wanting to invite her to teach piano, but she refused. But this morning, Comrade Zhu took the initiative to find me and said that she was willing to teach in the art troupe, but the condition was that Mo Zhenzhen, who was eliminated last time, could also join the art troupe."
The words had been made so clear, the truth was in front of her, Zhu Wanru knew that she had lost the gamble, and had no other excuses. For the first time, she lowered her noble head.
Mo Zhenzhen, who was standing next to her, knew that it was embarrassing to stay here and wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she forcibly pushed the two soldiers who were blocking their way. Seeing that the two soldiers refused to give way, she blurted out:
"My father is the deputy chief of staff. Do you want to detain the chief of staff's family and daughter without permission?"
The soldiers in the art troupe all entered the troupe based on their own abilities. When they heard that Mo Zhenzhen wanted to use her connections to get in through the back door, they were already very angry.
Seeing that Mo Zhenzhen was still so arrogant, and even brought up her father's identity as the deputy chief of staff to suppress others, the crowd immediately became excited and attacked the mother and daughter of the Mo family in unison:
"How come the family and daughter of Deputy Chief of Staff Mo are so great? Not only do they want to occupy other people's quotas, but now they want to use the back door. Do they really think that the army is their own home?"
"That's right, Mo Zhenzhen, don't forget that your mother Zhu Wanru is the daughter of a capitalist family! She is a vampire, a termite! Not only do you not behave yourself, but you also think you are superior to others. Ha, I really give you face, don't I?"
At this time, a female soldier walked directly in front of Mo Zhenzhen, looked at her and said:
"Mo Zhenzhen, you bullied my sister in school and now you've been expelled from school. You want to join our art troupe again. How can someone like you be worthy of performing on stage? Bah!"
When the female soldier was speaking, she was too excited and spit on Mo Zhenzhen's face. Mo Zhenzhen immediately got angry and grabbed her hair, angrily saying,
"How dare you spit at me!"
The female soldier, who was caught off guard and had her hair pulled, screamed in pain. The female soldier who was on good terms with her saw that she was bullying her friend, so she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mo Zhenzhen's wrist to fight back.
Seeing that Mo Zhenzhen still dared to bully others, other female soldiers also surrounded them. The one whose hair was pulled by Mo Zhenzhen was not to be outdone. She grabbed Mo Zhenzhen's hair and began to pinch her face.
Mo Zhenzhen's wrist was grabbed and she couldn't fight back. She screamed repeatedly. Zhu Wanru was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she hurried forward to stop them. For a while, the scene became chaotic. Mo Zhenzhen
's violin, which she was proud of, fell to the ground at some point and was trampled to pieces.
When Captain Mu came over to separate the people, the mother and daughter of the Mo family had already had their hair in disarray and had lost all their manners. They looked extremely savage.
Zhu Wanru changed her usual elegance and shouted at Captain Mu angrily:
"Captain Mu, you actually let your team members target military families and even attacked them..."
Xia Qingli had already stepped down from the stage and came to Zhu Wanru's side. She slightly bent her lips, interrupted Zhu Wanru's words, and corrected her:
"It was your daughter Mo Zhenzhen who attacked first. We are not targeting military families. We just hate the arrogant and domineering eldest lady and you, a capitalist remnant who despises military discipline and helps our daughter get a backdoor."
"Xia Qingxiong you!" Zhu Wanru was completely speechless after being blocked by Xia Qingxiong's words. Her family background was there. It was wrong for everyone to insult the military family, but it was reasonable to spit on the daughter of a capitalist family.
At this time, Captain Mu also looked at Zhu Wanru and said,
"Comrade Zhu, I will write a report to the higher-ups about what happened today. I will never cover up or condone your improper behavior."
Zhu Wanru's face immediately turned pale. She knew that if Captain Mu submitted this report, not only would her reputation be ruined, she might also be punished, and even her husband Mo Jianguo might be implicated.
