Chen Sisi calmed herself down first: "Chen Ting, are you sure I'm not distinguishing right from wrong?"
Chen Ting covered her burning cheek and mumbled incoherently, "Nonsense, Huang Xiaojuan saw it. You hit me as soon as I came out, like a mad dog."
Upon hearing the word "mad dog," Gu Chengfeng and Gu Changmei glared at each other, causing her to shrink back in fear and swallow the rest of her words.
Shen Sisi gritted her teeth angrily: "You almost killed my daughter, hitting you is too lenient!"
"What?" Gu Changmei asked anxiously, "What happened to the child?"
Chen Sisi fought back tears: "Luckily I found it in time, otherwise..."
Gu Changmei frowned, her well-maintained face wrinkling up: "What exactly happened?"
Chen Sisi recounted the whole story in detail.
"Chen Ting deliberately spread rumors about my daughter's illness, incited people in the military compound to abduct my daughter, and almost harmed her. Tell me, shouldn't Chen Ting be punished?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ting's expression immediately changed.
She did talk to Chen Zhaodi about Shen Sisi and her daughter, and she did want to use someone else to do her dirty work and drive Shen Sisi and her daughter out of the family compound.
But... I never expected those kids to be so wild. They actually kidnapped Niu Niu and took her to the back mountain.
Chen Ting's eyes darted around: "A few kids messing around, is it really necessary to label me like that?"
"Nonsense?" Shen Sisi was so angry that she wanted to pounce on him again, but Gu Changmei held her back.
Just then, a soft chuckle drifted from behind: "Yes, a few teenagers, they don't know anything. Who instigated them to kidnap my daughter?"
Gu Chengfeng's face was filled with anger, and his eyes flashed with suppressed rage.
“I have every reason to suspect that you are the mastermind behind this.”
These days, kidnapping children is a serious crime, and Chen Ting's head went blank when she heard that, her face turning deathly pale.
"You can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't say things carelessly. I never instigated them. I... I was just spreading some gossip."
After a moment of thought, she said "Oh," and then asked, "So, you admit that you said all of these things?"
Chen Ting knew she was in trouble; she'd been tricked!
Gu Chengfeng had no evidence to prove that he was bluffing her just now.
She stomped her foot in anger, but it was too late to change her mind.
"I...I admit that I did say a few words to Chen Zhaodi about you. Who doesn't gossip a little during their leisure time?"
"Besides, I'm your cousin. Even if I say a few words to you, you don't have to hit me!"
"This is a family matter, we should just talk about it behind closed doors. But you beat me in public like this, showing no regard for family ties or our sisterly relationship. It's just too...too upsetting for me!"
Chen Ting began to sob, her skill in turning black into white truly masterful.
The onlookers almost forgot that she was the one who started all the gossip, and some even began to sympathize with her.
"Yeah, it's such a small thing, was it really necessary to beat them so badly?"
"Isn't the child alright? If he's alright, then let it go!"
"Sister Ting has such a beautiful face, but she's been beaten up and her face is all swollen. She's lost all face."
"This cousin is so fierce, how could she be a good person normally..."
However, some more level-headed people pointed fingers at Chen Ting.
"This Chen Ting always loves to gossip in the troupe, she's like a troublemaker."
"They're always forming cliques and bullying newcomers..."
"Yeah, it feels pretty good to see someone take care of her..."
The surrounding chatter was so loud that Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng could hear every word clearly.
Seeing that Gu Chengfeng was gradually losing control, Gu Changmei frowned and clicked her tongue in time.
"Comrade Chen Ting, this is a very serious problem!"
Chen Ting originally wanted to turn the situation around by playing the victim, but unexpectedly, the leader didn't buy it.
"The day before yesterday, the leaders of the military region came to see me and several other leaders. You comrade, you have serious ideological problems!"
Gu Changmei gave her a chance to reform herself, considering she was Shen Sisi's cousin, but she was temporarily suspended from her work.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ting showed no remorse and almost indirectly harmed Niu Niu, causing them to be ostracized by the entire compound.
It's absolutely outrageous!
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to discuss.
“This educated youth, Shen, is your cousin. She married into the military and moved to Jiangcheng. As her older sister, you not only didn’t take care of her, but you also spoke ill of her everywhere. You even spread rumors that she had an improper relationship with the political commissar of the military region. You sent someone to the military region to ask your brother-in-law to catch her in the act, but it all turned out to be a misunderstanding.”
"Things are not like that at all. Political Commissar Feng was just asking Shen Zhiqing to carry something. He was doing this perfectly legitimately, and he was unfairly accused of this."
"This is a serious matter that insults soldiers. The organization was originally going to issue you a public reprimand and give you a major demerit. I protected you and was thinking of giving you a chance to make a change, but I didn't expect... you to be so disappointing!"
Gu Changmei trembled all over, her face filled with disappointment.
Those who had previously sympathized with Chen Ting and been misled by her suddenly felt as if they had been hit over the head with a club.
It turns out that Chen Ting was sidelined because of this.
That's so mean!
"Who is this person who dares to slander his own cousin and the political commissar of the military region..."
"She even asked her brother-in-law to catch them in the act."
"What grudge could they have? This is terrifying..."
The way everyone looked at Chen Ting was mostly filled with disdain.
This matter is indeed true; it has even reached the leadership level, and Chen Ting's punishment is real, leaving her no room for excuses.
Unexpectedly, after this incident, she still didn't behave herself and actually went to instigate other military wives.
