This was the first time Chen Ting had seen Gu Changmei angry, and she flinched.
"No, no!"
"I just feel that she's being immature, and as her older sister, I can't be immature, right?"
Gu Changmei sneered twice: "Little Chen, I, Gu Changmei, am not so old that I'm going to be senile!"
"You were the one who gossiped about others and almost harmed someone else's child. How come you're the one who's in the right now?"
Chen Ting hadn't expected Gu Changmei's attitude to be so firm.
"Commander Gu, how many people in this world don't gossip? Besides, if a child can be abducted, don't the parents bear any responsibility?"
Gu Changmei was speechless for a long time. She had learned what it meant to be unreasonable and eloquent today.
She stared at Chen Ting incredulously, as if she were seeing her for the first time.
Out of consideration for her own position, Gu Changmei put aside her personal feelings and decided to give her one last chance.
"Xiao Chen, we should be honest and straightforward. If you're wrong, you're wrong. You got beaten up too. Why don't we just let this go? There's no need to make someone kneel down and apologize. Don't you think that's going too far?"
When Gu Changmei said these words, her expression was clearly off.
Chen Ting, however, remained oblivious and persisted: "Excessive? What's excessive about it? People like Chen Sisi would have rotted away in the vegetable gardens of the countryside long ago! But I'm different. I'm the soprano in the troupe. Even the leaders praised my rendition of 'Ode to the Red Plum Blossom' as exceptional. I'm the face of the troupe. You don't want me to be stigmatized, do you?"
"She has absolutely no evidence against me for this. As long as I deny it to the death and focus on her mistake of hitting me, I can turn the tide. If I can force her to kneel down and admit her mistake in public, no one will believe her no matter what lies she tells when she gets back!"
Chen Ting had planned everything perfectly, just waiting for her superiors to back her up; otherwise, she was really afraid of Gu Chengfeng sitting next to her, deep in thought.
The man's face was frosty, like a vicious wolf ready to tear her apart in one bite.
If the leader intervenes, everything will be different.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Gu Changmei said "okay" three times in a row, and forcefully shook off her hand: "Chen Ting, Chen Ting, I never thought you would be this kind of person. I was blind to have recruited you back then!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ting froze, her face turning bright red: "What...what do you mean by this?"
Gu Changmei was extremely disappointed and had no intention of playing along any longer: "The matter of insulting soldiers last time is not over yet, and you went to spread rumors again, almost harming the child, and you even asked me to conspire with you to distort the facts and force people to kneel down and apologize to you. A person with no character or morals like you is not suitable to stay in our cultural troupe anymore."
Chen Ting seemed to have been struck by lightning, and it took her a long time to recover.
"Commander Gu, what did you say? Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Gu Changmei nodded solemnly: "You should pack your things and leave!"
"No, why should I?" Chen Ting pointed at Chen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng: "Commander Gu, why are you siding with outsiders? I'm clearly your most prized soprano, the pillar of the troupe. I was even beaten up today, and not only do you not blame them, you're telling me to leave..."
Gu Changmei was also furious, her murderous aura almost bursting out: "Give me a break! You should be glad that they did it in the guild, and glad that I'm bound by my position as guild leader and can still talk to you properly. If we were to leave this room, I'm telling you, I'd beat them up even harder than Sisi!"
Upon hearing this, not only was Chen Ting stunned, but everyone around her was also astonished.
Commander Gu, who is usually gentle and elegant, was completely different today. He was shouting and yelling for war in a loud voice, even more shrewish than a shrew.
What did she say... she's going to beat someone up?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Gu Changmei slowly walked between Gu Chengfeng and Shen Sisi, taking one arm in each of their arms: "Gu Chengfeng and I both share the surname Gu, don't you understand?"
All eyes immediately turned to them. It must be said that Gu Chengfeng did resemble Gu Changmei somewhat, with well-defined features and handsome eyes.
I had heard that Commander Gu had a nephew serving in the army in Jiangcheng, but I had never met him. I never expected it to be him!
Everyone suddenly realized.
Chen Ting was stunned; the shock in her heart was no less than that of a major explosion.
"You...you..."
Gu Changmei straightened her back and introduced him generously: "This is my nephew, Gu Chengfeng, the deputy commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st District of the Southwest Field Army. And this lady next to me is my newlywed niece-in-law!"
She protectively shielded Chen Sisi behind her, her ten fingers clenched so tightly they dug deep into her flesh.
"Chen Ting, do you dare to repeat exactly what you just said to me to everyone?"
The person opposite had a face covered in red and blue marks, as if they had been painted with oil paint.
I saw them whispering to each other earlier, but I don't know what they were saying.
It certainly wasn't something nice, otherwise Chen Ting wouldn't have looked so embarrassed.
Chen Ting was so frightened that she staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground: "Commander...Commander...I'm sorry, I...I really didn't know they were your relatives. Isn't this like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, or family members not recognizing each other?"
All of Gu Changmei's restraint just now erupted completely at this moment.
She yelled in a loud voice, "Get lost! Who says we're family with someone as brainless as you..."
The brain is connected to the rectum? This is the first time I've ever heard such an interesting statement.
However, it is quite fitting.
Chen Ting is brainless!
Stupid, wicked, and pathetic!
Chen Ting never expected that things would turn out this way.
Thinking about what she had just said to Gu Changmei, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
