"No, it was just a casual remark." Zhou Mingxuan realized his words were inappropriate as soon as they were spoken, but the words were already out and couldn't be taken back.
Qin Yu's deep eyes were indifferent. "Luck? Comrade Zhou said my promotion was due to luck. I suppose you must have had that kind of luck before."
"What luck?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked as she entered from the doorway.
She walked over to Qin Yushen, observed his expression, and sat down next to him. "Who made you angry?"
She knew her own man well.
Despite his calm demeanor, the slight downward turn of his lips betrayed his anger.
Qin Yushen looked at her, smiled, and shook his head.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile at him.
Zhou Mingxuan found Lin Xiaoxiao's anxious expression towards Qin Yushen irritating.
Lin Xiaoxiao always acted like a big sister in front of him and Chu Wuyan, but it was unexpected that she also had such a girlish side.
Zhou Mingxuan suddenly spoke up, "We were discussing Comrade Qin's promotion. With such great merit, he should be promoted, right?"
Perhaps out of jealousy, or resentment, he wanted to expose Qin Yushen's hypocritical facade.
Let Lin Xiaoxiao know that they are actually all the same, and they all have their own selfish motives.
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression turned cold. She gave Zhou Mingxuan a long, brooding look. "So, what are you trying to say?"
"When did you learn to beat around the bush?"
"Just tell me, I'll analyze it for you."
"How about it?"
Her cold aura caused the temperature in the entire living room to drop by more than ten degrees. Even the women in the kitchen noticed the unusual situation and occasionally peeked out.
"Sister Lin, I..." Zhou Mingxuan opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but didn't know how to start.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Minister Zhou had no choice but to try to calm things down, saying, "Young people like to joke, and sometimes they inevitably go too far."
"Now that our two families are relatives, we're all one family from now on. Don't let a small matter ruin our relationship."
Commander Zhao was somewhat dissatisfied.
Even though Zhou Mingxuan was from a classified unit, Qin Yushen was a senior officer in his Jiangcheng Military Region, and his promotion was not something he could interfere with.
Lack of tact.
Minister Zhou took the initiative to speak, and since he couldn't sit idly by, he said, "Yes, it's normal to lose your temper occasionally; we're all family."
With a way out provided, Zhou Mingxuan naturally wanted to take the opportunity to back down.
But will Lin Xiaoxiao give him that chance?
That's impossible.
She's known for being fiercely protective of her own.
She didn't even glance at Commander Zhao, who was giving her a meaningful look, nor did she pay attention to Minister Zhou, whose expression was slightly somber, and boldly spoke up.
"You can say whatever you want, but you can't question my Qin Yushen's achievements and position."
"You dismissed his hard work and dedication on the training field, his courage and sacrifices in the face of danger, with just a few words?"
"Luck? Go try it on the battlefield and see if luck can keep you safe. A soldier's merits are earned by risking his life; they are medals of responsibility and commitment."
At this point, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yu, "Of course, there are some exceptions."
It's brimming with sarcasm.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Yu both looked very uncomfortable; one was directly confronted, and the other was indirectly insulted.
What's the difference between this and tearing their faces off and stepping on them?
He Meng was worried that Lin Xiaoxiao might know something and be talking nonsense, so she quickly stopped her, "Alright, it's not a big deal, do you have to make a big deal out of it? Let's eat."
Lin Xiaoxiao proved with facts that it was indeed useful.
She held Qin Yushen's hand and continued sarcastically, "My Qin Yushen is not the kind of person who would take credit for others' work. At least everything he has now is the result of his own hard work. He didn't rely on his father, his mother, or any of you. No one has the right to judge him."
Qin Yu held her hand tightly and said in his heart, no, he relied on his wife.
If it weren't for Lin Xiaoxiao, he might already be dead.
Lin Xiaoxiao then looked at Zhao Weiguo, "Commander Zhao, please tell Zhou Mingxuan whether Qin Yushen was promoted or awarded merit because of my contributions."
The moment Lin Xiaoxiao looked over, Zhao Weiguo wanted to hide.
Sure enough, the fire spread to him.
Looking at Minister Zhou, whose expression was calm, Zhao Weiguo thought to himself, "What kind of things are these?"
But you can't blame Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao for things turning out this way.
The couple came to eat together and even gave each other red envelopes, which was clearly a blessing.
Why did Zhou Mingxuan insist on bringing up Qin Yushen's achievements and promotion?
He had seen through Lin Xiaoxiao quite a bit; she was fiercely protective of her own, especially Qin Yushen. She wouldn't stand for anything anyone said about him and treated Qin Yushen like a precious treasure.
That's really quite strange.
When a fiercely protective woman hears that her husband has been betrayed, she'll erupt like a rocket, charging headlong into the fray and attacking indiscriminately.
Zhao Weiguo thought for a moment and then clarified, "The Beijing Municipal Government sent a letter of commendation to the military region, commending Comrade Lin Xiaoxiao for discovering the R country's experimental base, entering the enemy camp alone, rescuing many children, assisting the military in obtaining first-hand information, and being awarded a first-class merit."
Upon hearing the words "First-Class Merit," everyone looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in surprise.
They never imagined that such a petite woman could receive a first-class merit award.
It's really... excellent.
Minister Zhou, forgetting his anger, said with satisfaction, "A promising young man indeed."
As a soldier, Zhao Yu naturally knew how prestigious the First-Class Merit was. He glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao several times, feeling somewhat defeated.
Only Zhou Mingmei asked from the side, "Is a first-class merit really that impressive? My brother is still in a classified unit."
