Ling Zhihui returned from a meeting at the military region with a happy expression, thinking that he had made a great contribution this time.
He secured a lot of weapons for the military region, making it much easier for them to go on missions in the future.
Before he could even finish celebrating, the investigation team came looking for him.
Ling Zhihui hadn't even realized that the group leader had been changed to the group leader.
"Team Leader Cheng, what's going on here?"
"Commander Ling, someone has reported that you had an affair with your cousin. You need to come back with us now for investigation."
Ling Zhihui looked completely bewildered. What cousin? He had never heard of her.
However, Team Leader Cheng didn't give him time to react; he would explain it to him when he got back.
When the old lady and Xia Lan heard that Ling Zhihui had returned, they waited at home.
They were then informed that Ling Zhihui had been taken away, but the specific reasons could not be disclosed to them.
Hearing their words, Xia Lan thought about what she had done a couple of days ago and thought that this was for the best.
Warning Ling Zhihui: It would be best to send this cousin away.
That's what Xia Lan thought, but things ultimately turned out differently than she expected.
Upon hearing that someone had reported him for having an affair with his cousin, Ling Zhihui quickly spoke up.
"Comrades, you've really misunderstood. My cousin is just my cousin; we're not related."
We are family; you can investigate that.
“We will naturally investigate, but Commander Ling, there is one more thing: were you aware that your wife was abusing your mother-in-law?”
"What mother-in-law? I don't know anything about her."
Ling Zhihui felt he had been wronged, as he had clearly done a good job this time.
Why not praise yourself instead of investigating yourself?
Seeing that Team Leader Cheng was about to leave, Ling Zhihui hurriedly asked who had reported him.
Although the report was made anonymously, they still managed to see the person.
He was surprised that Xia Lan had reported him, but he knew he would find out eventually anyway.
It's okay to tell him now, but Ling Zhihui was furious when he learned that it was Xia Lan who reported him.
Now things are really messed up; not only will there be no reward, but there might also be disciplinary action.
How could he have married such a stupid woman as Xia Lan? During the past few days of investigation, Ling Zhihui has been staying in the interrogation room.
A few days later, after everyone had investigated the matter thoroughly, they allowed him to return. Upon his return, his first thought was to settle scores with Xia Lan.
As for his mother and cousin knowing about Ling Zhihui's accident.
She had long feared he would take his anger out on her, so she went to hide in the countryside. Xia Lan had already realized her mistake when Ling Zhihui hadn't returned for several days.
So when Ling Zhihui came back, she immediately apologized, saying it was all his mother's fault.
She said she wanted to marry her cousin to her, and she made a mistake because she was in a hurry.
"Zhihui, we finally got together, you don't want anyone to break us up, do you?"
Ling Zhihui knew his mother was being a bit unreasonable, and glanced at Xia Lan's stomach.
Thinking that he was pregnant with his son, he couldn't stay angry at all.
"Xia Lan, I know you've had a tough time, but this won't happen again."
Xia Lan thought she would have to use a lot of persuasion to get Ling Zhihui's forgiveness.
She didn't expect it to be so easy. Now that everyone who bothered her is gone, she can finally have some peace and quiet.
——
Ye Zhaozhao opened the door to go to school and noticed a pile of things placed at her door.
There was another woman walking ahead, and she quickly went up to her and grabbed her arm.
"Amin's wife?"
What brings you here?
Ye Zhaozhao was shocked by her return, and the woman said she wanted to come and see for herself.
So Ye Zhaozhao led her into the house. She knew that Ye Zhaozhao must have recognized her.
"Zhaozhao, I'm sorry, it was my fault."
The moment she spoke, Ye Zhaozhao knew who she was. Before, she only had doubts, but now she was even more certain.
As the woman spoke, she peeled off the scars on her face, revealing a young and beautiful woman.
However, her face looked very haggard and pale. Xue Fangfei looked at Ye Zhaozhao.
Ye Zhaozhao has never seen her since she dropped out of school.
Unexpectedly, she married Amin, and Xue Fangfei realized she had made a mistake.
It wasn't until she met Amin that she realized how wrong she had been, and that she shouldn't have looked down on Ye Zhaozhao.
It's not hard to acknowledge someone's excellence. Ye Zhaozhao looked at Xue Fangfei without blaming her.
Because from her face, Ye Zhaozhao knew that she must have gone through something very difficult.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke; she only asked about how she met Amin.
Xue Fangfei then told the truth about why she dressed up like that.
It was entirely because her mother sent people to look for her after her father was investigated.
She found a letter in the study that said her mother had been taking advantage of her father all these years.
Her mother had already found a new home; over the years, she had given away many of the Xue family's belongings to other people.
The letter also said that her father only trusted her, so he left her a sum of money.
Her mother knew about the money and sent people to look for her. Xue Fangfei had always thought that her mother loved her.
But when that man started touching her inappropriately.
Her mother didn't react at all, so Xue Fangfei knew that her mother didn't love her.
Moreover, her mother has another daughter who is about the same age as her, and her mother dotes on that daughter very much.
Taking advantage of the situation, Xue Fangfei kicked the man and ran away. Abandoned by her own mother, Xue Fangfei felt she couldn't go on, so she jumped into the river.
It was Ah Ming who saved her, but because it was too dark at the time, Ah Ming couldn't see her face clearly.
After waking up, Xue Fangfei went to the street to buy materials.
Having painted herself this way and gone through that kind of experience, she knew that her appearance might bring her trouble.
