Seeing the battalion commander's state, Zhou Mei didn't force herself to leave, because her only family member was her younger sister, who was still in the hospital, and she had nowhere to go if she wanted to leave.
The battalion commander stood there angrily and said, "Zhou Mei, let me tell you, this matter concerning your sister has a very bad influence. Do you know who that Professor Yuan is? Who are the students she's leading? And who is Qian Duoduo, whom she's trying to frame?"
Because of her, my rating today is ruined! And you even went to the guild leader to cause trouble? Who gave you the guts? Who gave you the confidence?
Zhou Mei sobbed, listening to the battalion commander's gritted teeth, and looked up: "Who is that Qian Duoduo? She's just Lu Jinghuai's girlfriend. So what if it's Lu Jinghuai?"
The battalion commander was so angry he laughed: "Who told you she was Lu Jinghuai's girlfriend?"
Zhou Mei said with a sob in her voice, "My sister told me."
The battalion commander spat, "What utter bullshit! That Qian Duoduo is Commander Lu's brother's girlfriend. I was right there when Commander Lu called his brother on the first day Qian Duoduo arrived. My Qin'er heard it. Your sister is not only mentally ill, but she also has poor eyesight!"
Zhou Mei was dumbfounded. Wait, how did Qian Duoduo become Commander Lu's brother's girlfriend?
The battalion commander snorted, "You dare to cause trouble in front of the regimental commander? What, do you think the regimental commander is easy to bully?"
Zhou Mei immediately walked to the battalion commander's side and asked, "Is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?"
The battalion commander snorted: "Movement back? Leave room for maneuver? Are you out of your mind? Your sister embezzled and colluded with outsiders to injure people. This matter should end here. It's good enough that it didn't involve too many others. Otherwise, Zhou Mei, not only you, but I might be stuck like this for the rest of my life!"
Zhou Mei was stunned for a moment, then silently went outside, fetched water, and washed her face!
At Lu Cheng's house, Gu Qi'en watched Lu Cheng finish washing his face and saw the towel on the floor, saying, "Lu Yuan's boyfriend is pretty impressive!"
Lu Cheng wiped his face and said, "Before we met, Yuanzi asked me to take care of her. I thought she was just a quiet little girl who had been nurtured by her teacher."
Upon meeting her, I realized she was a very clever young girl. Her big, bright eyes sparkled with intelligence, and I was right.
Gu Qi'en was listening when he saw him stop talking, and immediately asked, "And then?"
Lu Cheng looked around the house: "Where's my son?"
Gu Qi'en said with a smile, "My mom took me out for a walk."
Lu Cheng nodded and said, "Mom has really had a hard time!"
Gu Qi'en rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop beating around the bush. Hurry up and talk about Qian Duoduo. She'll be your sister-in-law in the future. It's better to know each other first, so that you won't easily cause conflicts!"
Lu Cheng smiled and put his arm around Gu Qi'en's shoulder, saying, "I've heard so much about Qian Duoduo before."
Gu Qi'en asked curiously, "What happened?"
Lu Cheng smiled as he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Back then, I had just been transferred to this Xinjiang province and was just a small company commander. Because of the sudden and huge changes in the Lu family, only a few of us children survived, while my grandparents, my father, and my uncle were sent down to the cowshed."
Gu Qi'en rarely heard him talk about the Lu family's past, so he reached out and touched Lu Cheng's hand, saying, "It's all in the past!"
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, it's all in the past."
Lu Cheng patted Gu Qi'en's hand with a smile and said, "My grandfather, my parents, my uncle, and my aunt were sent to the cowshed in Qian Duoduo's village. That was the second year after they were sent down. My grandparents couldn't stand the cold of Northeast China and fell ill. It was Qian Duoduo and her brothers who brought them food, medicine, and blankets, allowing them to get through that winter safely. They also saved our Lu family."
Upon hearing Lu Cheng's words, Gu Qi'en immediately understood why Lu Cheng valued Qian Duoduo so much and didn't want her to suffer any injustice. She also realized that the severe punishment given to Nurse Zhou and Yu Jing was likely due to this. Her regard for Qian Duoduo increased slightly; after all, she was the one who had saved the Lu family patriarch and matriarch, and probably all the Lu family members would consider her a benefactor.
“I see…” Gu Qi’en nodded. “Then how did she and Lu Yuan meet?”
Lu Cheng smiled and recalled, "It's quite a coincidence. When Lu Yuan was on a mission, he happened to see Qian Duoduo showing off his prowess by beating down those who bullied him, and making them so afraid that they wouldn't dare to show their faces in front of him again." Lu Cheng suddenly remembered how angry Lu Yuan was when he first arrived and talked about Qian Duoduo calling him "Uncle PLA," but now he calls him "baby" all the time. They really are a pair of bickering lovers.
"Is Qian Duoduo that amazing?" Gu Qi'en asked curiously.
Lu Cheng said, "I heard that Qian Duoduo has a sister-in-law from a martial arts family. He learned some martial arts from her since he was a child, so he should have no problem dealing with two or three men."
Gu Qi'en asked with even greater curiosity, "So how do they get along?"
"According to Lu Yuan, they get along very well now. Qian Duoduo is a kind and cheerful girl, and Lu Yuan likes her very much." Lu Cheng smiled with satisfaction.
Gu Qi'en's heart stirred. She could almost picture Lu Yuan and Qian Duoduo together; it would definitely be a lot of fun.
Qian Duoduo was unaware that she had become the subject of other people's conversation. She was currently talking to Professor Yuan about Yu Jing's departure and that someone needed to take over his things. Fortunately, Qian Duoduo had never liked Yu Jing's notebook, which was made up of notes crawling out of the mouth of an old cockroach, so she simply tossed it aside and continued to prepare to reorganize her notes.
Just then, she noticed Professor Yuan looking at her thoughtfully. "Professor, what's wrong?" Qian Duoduo asked, puzzled.
Professor Yuan smiled and said meaningfully, "Duoduo, I think you are a bit different from the Qian Duoduo I imagined. Your courage and wisdom have impressed me."
Qian Duoduo lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, "I just did what I was supposed to do, and it was also to protect myself."
Professor Yuan gently patted her shoulder. "I heard you went to see Yu Jing and Nurse Zhou?"
Qian Duoduo raised her head, looked at the probing look in Professor Yuan's eyes, and said, "Yes, I don't want to be exonerated because of their sophistry."
Professor Yuan asked, "Do you really hate Yu Jing?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "He was someone I didn't care about. Originally, we were studying together just to learn more and leave a very important mark on our graduate studies. But ever since he confessed his feelings to me, he has been making things difficult for me. I didn't want to pay attention to him before, but he took himself too seriously and even colluded with outsiders to harm me."
I'm not the kind of person who sits idly by and waits to die; I'll find a way to nip danger in the bud.
What Qian Duoduo didn't say was that Yu Jing had drugged the water in her room. However, Qian Duoduo was quite cautious and kept her things in a regular way, so she didn't use it herself. What she didn't expect was that Yu Jing had also drugged Liang Kun, harming an innocent person.
