Chapter 46 I said, you have to apologize to her

Huo Jianguo's first reaction after hearing Du Lei's words was to get angry. He could not accept anyone mocking the soldiers guarding the border for any reason.

But when he was about to lose his temper, his mind suddenly flashed by the time when Su Mei was wrongly accused of stealing vegetables and he believed other people's one-sided words and put the blame on her.

When facing his accusations, her back as she turned and left was so cold.

When apologizing to her, Huo Jianguo warned himself that he should never judge the right or wrong of something arbitrarily because of prejudice.

So he suppressed his anger in time and tried to calmly ask the woman opposite him:

"What are you angry about?"

"I hate him as a person, not his face." Su Mei did not hide her dislike for Du Lei and asked Huo Jianguo:

"If someone clearly dislikes you but still keeps trying to get close to you and glare at you, do you think he is a mean person?"

"What's wrong? Do you have a conflict with Du Lei?" Huo Jianguo didn't know what happened after he left yesterday, but he had already vaguely guessed that Su Mei must have had a grudge with Du Lei for a long time.

Su Mei has her own way. Since Huo Jianguo asked, she would definitely say it directly:

"After you left yesterday, he said in public that I was a fool and unworthy of you. I called him ugly at the time, but I was just retaliating. He insulted me first, and I am not dumb, so I had to insult him back.

Who knew he was so fragile? When he couldn't win the argument, I just let it go."

What does it mean to break the defense? Huo Jianguo didn't understand, but he understood what Su Mei meant. She meant that Du Lei provoked her first, and now he is blaming her.

Huo Jianguo glanced at Du Lei, then turned his gaze to Shao Gang who was still working silently:

"Shao Gang, tell me, what happened yesterday?"

Shao Gang, who was called, bitterly threw away the big chicken drumstick in his hand, and slowly stood up under Huo Jianguo's extremely oppressive tone.

He didn't want to be involved in this matter at all, but he couldn't say it. Telling the truth would be like betraying his comrades, but lying would go against his conscience.

Although Su Mei had a bad reputation, Shao Gang felt that it was Du Lei's fault that Du Lei took the initiative to stir up trouble without a direct conflict.

"Well, yesterday, this is what happened..." Shao Gang looked embarrassed and spoke slowly.

Before he could say anything useful, Du Lei interrupted him: "Alright, Shao Gang, you don't have to be embarrassed. I admit what I did. There's nothing I'm afraid of.

I'm not talking nonsense. She is just as stupid as a pig and is not worthy of being a teacher in any way. What's wrong with me telling the truth?

She used despicable means to force the teacher to marry her, repaying kindness with enmity, is she still afraid of what others will say? "

"What a despicable trick! Wasn't it Teacher Huo's parents who arranged for Su Mei to be married? Wasn't it the parents' order and the matchmaker's words?" Someone who liked to watch the excitement immediately stepped forward and asked.

Not many people in the military know the real reason why Huo Jianguo married Su Mei, only some of his colleagues who have a good relationship with him know it.

Seeing someone asking about this, Du Lei wanted to reveal it without thinking. He had been holding back on Huo Jianguo's anger for a long time:

"There was no parental arrangement or matchmaker's words, it was simply Su Meiluo's decision..."

"Du Lei." Huo Jianguo suddenly called out Du Lei's name coldly, and shouted at him loudly: "Enough!"

After calling a halt to Du Lei's performance, Huo Jianguo looked around at the people who were having fun:

"What are you all watching? If you are watching, leave your serial numbers and names. If you are really bored, I will give you some more things to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him dispersed immediately. Some soldiers even took their bowls and sat somewhere else before finishing their meals, fearing that Huo Jianguo would really pursue the matter and they would be implicated.

"Captain, why don't you let me speak?" Du Lei was obviously anxious. When he called Huo Jianguo, he suddenly changed to the name he had called him for many years. He asked Huo Jianguo:

"For someone like Su Mei, her true face should be known to everyone. I don't understand why you have to put up with her all the time!

If she had any redeeming qualities, I would not have said such bad things to her. She has nothing to do with me, so what right does she have to dislike me?"

When Du Lei was speaking, Huo Jianguo kept staring into his eyes without saying a word.

Just like that, he stared at Du Lei for a full minute, which made Du Lei panic:

"Captain, why don't you say anything?"

"Are you done?" Huo Jianguo asked in a deep voice.

Du Lei always felt that something was wrong with Huo Jianguo's demeanor. He nodded hesitantly, "That's it!"

"Well, now it's my turn. First of all, I want to ask you, what is your position to interfere in my marriage? My parents have no objection to it, and I have already married her, so why do you have such a big opinion?"

"I..." Du Lei tried to explain, but was interrupted by Huo Jianguo:

"Now it's my turn to speak. Be quiet. Let me ask you again. You can call her a fool to her face, but why can't she call you ugly? Is she dumb when she frowns? She can only listen obediently when others scold her. Is it you who is sick or is she sick?"

"Also, since you hate her, then stay away from her. Why are you trying to get close to her? You are not talking to her at all. You hate her but you still try to get close to her. Isn't that a disgrace?"

Du Lei felt very aggrieved after being questioned like this:

"I'm sitting here because I want to sit with you. I don't want to interfere in your marriage. I just think you deserve someone better. At least someone like Yinglan is worthy of you. How can it be her?"

"Does your word count if I'm worthy of her or not?" Huo Jianguo lowered his eyes, "If you want to find a wife in the future, and someone says you have pus-filled face and are not worthy of a girl, what do you think?"

"I know my own limitations and I'm not looking for a partner." Du Lei said, lowering his head in frustration. The abscess on his face looked more serious than yesterday, and the itching made him feel uneasy.

Huo Jianguo sighed when he heard this:

"I have no right to interfere with whether you find a partner or not, but I have already married Su Mei. No matter why she and I got together or what our relationship is like, this is a matter between us as husband and wife.

Outsiders have no right to point fingers or even insult her. You used her shortcomings to provoke her first, so this matter is your fault and you have to apologize to her!"

When these words came out, not only Du Lei, but also Su Mei were greatly shocked.

In fact, she found it unbelievable the moment Huo Jianguo started speaking for Su Mei, so she listened for such a long time without saying a word.

It seems that her feeling in the morning was correct. Huo Jianguo's attitude towards her was indeed different from before.

For the first time ever, he would actually protect her?

Just when Su Mei was feeling doubtful, Huo Jianguo suddenly raised his voice and startled her:

"I said, you have to apologize to her."
