The two hadn't walked far when they saw Yu Jing sitting on the flower bed, seemingly lost in thought.
Qian Duoduo saw him and said to Liang Kun, "Go and call him, I'll go back first."
Liang Kun nodded and walked over to Yu Jing. Yu Jing saw him, nodded, stood up, and followed him back to the guesthouse.
As Qian Duoduo walked back, she saw four middle-aged women standing not far from the guesthouse, pointing and whispering at her. However, Qian Duoduo paid no attention to them. Their voices grew louder and louder: "It's her, shameless, seducing someone's boyfriend."
"It was her. Nurse Zhou and Battalion Commander Lu were a perfect match, but she interfered."
Qian Duoduo didn't want to get entangled with these strange women, after all, Lu Jinghuai wasn't her boyfriend, and that Nurse Zhou was just a rotten flower clinging to Lu Jinghuai.
But when the women saw Qian Duoduo's appearance, they didn't seem to intend to let her go. They slowly surrounded her and continued to say vulgar things until they reached her. When Qian Duoduo saw them, she stopped and looked at the women not far away.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's expression, the group assumed she was scared, so they became even more unrestrained and their voices grew louder.
Qian Duoduo slowly walked up to the four women, staring at them sharply: "What evidence do you have that I seduced someone else's boyfriend?"
One of the women, hands on her hips, shouted, "Do we even need proof? Everyone knows that Nurse Zhou and Battalion Commander Lu are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
Another woman chimed in.
Qian Duoduo sneered, "How do you know they're a perfect match? Are you mind readers?"
"You..." The woman was so angry she couldn't speak.
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "I know how you got here. Nobody's stupid. I just got here yesterday, and you're already like this today. It's hard for me not to know who sent you."
“We weren’t instructed by anyone!” one of the women said, trying to remain calm.
"Really?" Qian Duoduo looked skeptical. "Then what makes you say that Nurse Zhou and Battalion Commander Lu are a match made in heaven? Is it because Nurse Zhou's brother-in-law is the battalion commander of the First Battalion and comes from a prominent family? Or is it because Nurse Zhou likes Battalion Commander Lu? Does that prove they are a match made in heaven?"
“Of course! Nurse Zhou is beautiful and comes from a good family. She and Battalion Commander Lu are a perfect match!” another woman said.
"Hehe! Auntie, please don't joke around, okay? Just because someone is a battalion commander's brother-in-law doesn't mean he comes from a prominent family? I'm a regimental commander, and my brother is a regimental commander! Does that mean my family is even more prominent?" Qian Duoduo said deliberately.
"You shameless woman! Don't try to make yourself look good. Is the regimental commander your brother?" one of the women shouted, pointing at Qian Duoduo.
"How am I shameless? I was just stating a possibility that you don't think is true," Qian Duoduo retorted. "Besides, love is a matter between two people. What right do you have to make decisions for others? Not only did Nurse Zhou not actually end up with Battalion Commander Lu, but Battalion Commander Lu also has his own partner, and that person isn't Nurse Zhou. It's none of your business to comment on a battalion commander's marital status!"
After saying that, Qian Duoduo ignored the women and turned to leave.
The women were left standing there, looking at each other, wanting to say something but finding themselves unable to refute.
When Yu Jing and Liang Kun returned, they saw Qian Duoduo being surrounded and attacked. Yu Jing sneered and said, "I never expected that Qian Duoduo would be such a promiscuous woman."
He didn't expect that his words would be overheard by Qian Duoduo, who had just returned. Qian Duoduo looked at Yu Jing, slowly walked towards them, glanced at him, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"You have no right to judge me!" Qian Duoduo said calmly.
"I'm just stating the facts," Yu Jing retorted sharply.
"The facts? Your so-called facts are just believing the nonsense of a few gossipy women? Or are those people people you hired?" Qian Duoduo retorted.
"Isn't that right? I saw you chatting and laughing with Battalion Commander Lu, and you even spoke rudely to that Nurse Zhou..."
"Is what you're saying the truth?" Qian Duoduo interrupted Yu Jing. "We arrived here together yesterday and met Battalion Commander Lu together. Besides, there's nothing wrong between Battalion Commander Lu and me. As for you, Yu Jing, don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Yu Jing's expression changed drastically, "You...you're making false accusations!"
"Whether I'm slandering you or not, you know it in your heart." Qian Duoduo said this and left without looking back.
Yu Jing watched Qian Duoduo's departing figure, feeling secretly annoyed. He had originally intended to take the opportunity to smear Qian Duoduo and make her lose the professor's trust, but he did not expect that she would see through his intentions instead.
Qian Duoduo returned to Professor Yuan and recounted to him everything that had happened since she went downstairs to find Yu Jing. Then she said, "Professor, it's not that I'm being petty, but there's nothing fundamentally insurmountable between me and Yu Jing. However, I feel that he can't get over his own shortcomings. He doesn't reflect on his own incompetence but instead hopes that others will stumble. I personally think that such a person has a problem with his mentality, so I'm just reminding you to be careful!"
After listening to Qian Duoduo's account, Professor Yuan remained silent for a moment before saying, "I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Xiao Qian. Yu Jing has indeed been somewhat disappointing in some aspects since his release. I will pay more attention." He watched Qian Duoduo's departing figure and thoughtfully tapped the table.
The next day, Lu Jinghuai brought six young soldiers to the guesthouse. When he saw Professor Yuan, Lu Jinghuai first saluted and said, "Professor Yuan, hello. These are the young soldiers that Comrade Qian told me about yesterday. Considering the environment here, I brought some of the strongest soldiers from our battalion this time. This is their leader, Yuan Quan. He is a top soldier in our battalion and he speaks three minority languages."
Yuan Quan immediately saluted Professor Yuan, and after the salute, he said with a smile, "Professor Yuan, this is a place where ethnic minorities live. Most of the people here in Shihezi are quite friendly. Of course, there are some who do not share the same ideas as the country. So I hope you will not have any direct conflicts with the locals. After all, this is an area inhabited by ethnic minorities. If you encounter any danger, just shout and our people will come to your aid immediately."
Professor Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood. Afterwards, Lu Jinghuai arranged for Yuan Quan and the other soldiers to stay at the guesthouse.
When Qian Duoduo saw Lu Jinghuai, she remembered what happened yesterday and couldn't help but glare at him.
Lu Jinghuai was a little confused by the glare, but he didn't think much of it and started discussing work arrangements with Professor Yuan.
At this moment, Yu Jing walked in. When he saw Lu Jinghuai, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. In his heart, Qian Duoduo should not accept anyone else's advances if she did not accept his!
