"I've come up with an idea. I've asked the counselor to talk to the department head and tell him to get to the bottom of this matter. If anyone knows anything, they can write an anonymous letter of complaint. Then it'll depend on whether the person who spread the rumor will write one."
Jiang Manyue whispered, "I think he will write it. If he has such a good opportunity to kill me, that person will definitely not let it go."
Cheng Nana tightly grasped Jiang Manyue's hand, her voice low but unable to suppress her excitement, "You're so smart! I also think he will definitely write it, and I have my doubts!"
Jiang Manyue raised an eyebrow, "Who?"
Cheng Nana looked to the side warily and mouthed Zhou Xue's name.
Jiang Manyue frowned. She and Zhou Xue hadn't had any contact for a long time, not even eye contact. She had already forgotten about this person.
However, when it comes to someone who has a grudge against her and is hostile to her, she really can't think of anyone other than Zhou Xue.
Jiang Manyue was afraid that others would hear it, so she wrote in her notebook: Nana, don't doubt it for now, just pretend that you don't know. If she really did it, she wouldn't show her true colors when she knows we suspect her.
Cheng Nana said she understood and immediately sat up straight, pretending to listen to the class attentively.
Jiang Manyue put away her notebook and turned her attention back to the class.
After class, Cheng Nana and Jiang Manyue went to the bathroom together, and they heard someone spreading rumors about Jiang Manyue.
Cheng Nana was furious again and cursed, "All you know is gossip about people behind their backs! What a despicable trick!"
Those girls were not English majors. Knowing that they were caught talking bad about others behind their backs, they did not dare to refute and left in shame.
"They've gone too far! We must catch the person who spread the rumors as soon as possible. I'll curse her to death!"
Cheng Nana was still not satisfied. If there was no evidence to prove her guess, she would probably rush to fight Zhou Xue to the death.
Jiang Manyue comforted her, "Forget it, they don't know anything either. They just spread rumors. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. This kind of bad news spreads the fastest. Don't bother with them. Just wait until we find out the truth."
Cheng Nana followed Jiang Manyue back to the classroom angrily. Although she was very angry, she was still thinking about what Jiang Manyue had said. She didn't dare to alert the enemy and could only sit in her seat and be angry alone.
There were classes on Monday afternoon. After the morning classes ended, Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana found their roommates who were attending classes in other classrooms and went to the cafeteria to eat together.
They didn't arrive too early, and some people had already started queuing in the cafeteria. The six people in a dormitory were divided into three teams and lined up at three windows to get their meals.
Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana were in the same queue. Just as it was their turn, a girl in front of them came over with a bowl of soup and, whether intentionally or unintentionally, poured the soup on Jiang Manyue.
Fortunately, Jiang Manyue reacted very quickly, pulling Cheng Nana away and spilling the soup onto the ground.
When the girl saw the soup spilled on the ground, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Cheng Nana.
"What's wrong with you? We're just standing here and you're pouring soup on us?"
The girl replied impatiently, "Didn't it splash on you? What's your name?"
Cheng Nana was furious. "If we hadn't dodged quickly, the soup would have been all over us. How dare you say that? The soup is so hot, are you trying to kill us?"
Jiang Manyue also grabbed the girl's other arm. "You bumped into someone and splashed soup on them, but you don't even apologize? How uncultured!"
The girl's voice suddenly became louder. "That's better than you trying to seduce your boss into taking you through the backdoor!"
Jiang Manyue's face immediately darkened, and she squeezed the girl's arm even harder. "Say it again?"
The girl was not afraid at all and sneered, "I said you were a bitch who seduced the boss to get a backdoor, what's wrong?"
The students around were whispering about it. The girl looked at Jiang Manyue with pride. "Everyone knows you. You're a famous English major. You got into the translation team by seducing the boss. So, are you afraid of what people say?"
Cheng Nana was so angry that she almost exploded. Jiang Manyue's expression didn't change, but she took action and slapped the girl directly.
“Bang!”
A loud slap echoed throughout the cafeteria. The girl couldn't even cover her face because her arms were held tightly by Cheng Nana and Jiang Manyue.
"You dare to hit me?"
The girl couldn't believe that Jiang Manyue actually dared to hit her in a place like the cafeteria!
Jiang Manyue looked at her gravely. "You probably don't know that my husband is a soldier and I'm a military wife. I will pass on these slanderous words you've said to my husband verbatim and ask the military to arbitrate whether I've violated the military marriage. You will pay the price for your actions today."
The girl panicked instantly. She just heard others talking about Jiang Manyue, and happened to meet her in the cafeteria today. She couldn't stand it and wanted to embarrass Jiang Manyue. She didn't expect that Jiang Manyue was a tough guy. Not only did she beat her, but she also threatened her!
"Spreading rumors and causing trouble, and disrupting military marriages are illegal. Student, please come with me to meet the department leader."
Jiang Manyue wanted to drag the girl to see the department leader and ask the army to arbitrate and severely punish those who spread rumors and caused trouble. The girl was scared to death and hurried to explain to her.
"I, I heard it from others, not me. I don't even know you. I just couldn't stand it and wanted to embarrass you. I really didn't make it up!"
The girl was really scared. She was still a student. How could she be involved in breaking the law?
Cheng Nana sneered, "You're feeling weak now? Weren't you very proud just now?"
After saying that, Cheng Nana imitated the girl's tone and expression, which scared the girl even more.
"If you have anything to say, go and explain it to the department leader."
Jiang Manyue pulled the girl and was about to leave. The girl was so anxious that she started looking for companions everywhere, hoping that someone could come to save her.
But the roommates who came to eat with her pretended not to see anything, for fear of being associated with her.
Seeing that Jiang Manyue would not let her go, she immediately gave away her roommates.
"They said it all! I heard it from them! I really didn't spread the rumors. I apologize to you. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to you? Jiang Manyue, I really know I was wrong. I won't do this again in the future. Please let me go!"
The girl begged bitterly. She was really afraid of Jiang Manyue, so she could only humbly beg Jiang Manyue to let her go and not bother with her.
Jiang Manyue stopped and looked at her coldly, "Even if you didn't start the rumor, I won't let you off so easily for openly slandering my innocence in a place like the cafeteria. You should explain your situation to the department leaders."
