Chapter 78 Xia Fanxing Wants to Talk to Xie Jingchen
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The workers in the agricultural unit, in particular, found it as if they were hearing a fairy tale.
Zhao Niu retorted in shock, "Zhu Laosi, do you know what you're saying? Are you still dreaming?"
The other workers from the agricultural unit also spoke up, all telling Zhu Laosi to wake up and not to make such jokes.
Zhu Laosi smiled bitterly, "I know everyone means well, but I'm not stupid. I know very well how important this matter is."
He looked at Xie Jingchen, who also looked surprised, and said sincerely, "Commander Xie, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can have a doctor examine you. The baby in her belly is no more than a month old. Think about it, have you had any contact with her in the past month?"
"Shut up!" Qiao Feitian finally snapped out of her shock and screamed, interrupting Zhu Laosi, "What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of here!"
Zhu Laosi hardened his heart and actually knelt down directly before Xie Jingchen, his forehead hitting the ground heavily.
"Commander Xie, I'm almost forty years old. I don't have a wife. This is my first child. Please, please let him live. The Zhu family line cannot end!"
"He's talking nonsense! This child isn't his at all!" Qiao Feitian shouted and cursed.
She had gone into a frenzy, frantically tearing at Zhu Laosi's clothes and violently pounding his body and face.
Zhu Laosi did not resist at all, and just let Qiao Feitian do whatever she wanted to him. He looked both honest and pitiful.
Qiao Feitian beat Zhu Laosi for a long time, then knelt down and tried to hug Xie Jingchen's leg.
Xie Jingchen dodged in time, preventing Qiao Feitian from even touching his trouser leg.
Qiao Feitian looked up, her eyes blurred with tears, even her eyes were red. "Jingchen, you can't believe him! He must have conspired with someone to frame me. He's not only ruining my reputation, but also dragging you down with him. He's smearing you too, Jingchen!"
Zhu Laosi kowtowed again with great force, his forehead hitting the ground with a loud thud.
"Heaven is my witness, I did not lie, and I stand by every word I have said. If I have uttered even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
"You..." Qiao Feitian choked on her words, unable to swallow them down.
Zhu Laosi then began to confess, “At that time, Comrade Qiao Feitian came to me and said that she chose me because I was honest, kind and quiet. She told me that as long as I didn’t tell anyone about this, once she really had a child, Commander Xie would be completely under her control, and she would not forget me when she lived a good life.”
"Shut up!!" Upon hearing this, Qiao Feitian completely lost control, turned around, and grabbed Zhu Laosi's neck tightly with both hands.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and she faced Zhu Laosi as if he were a mortal enemy with whom she had a blood feud. "I'll kill you!"
Qiao Feitian went all out, and Zhu Laosi's face turned bright red in seconds.
In the critical moment, Xie Jingchen kicked Qiao Feitian over, and Xia Fanxing rushed over to give Zhu Laosi first aid.
Qiao Feitian took a kick from Xie Jingchen, and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder blade.
But the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
She lay on the ground, staring at Xie Jingchen in despair, muttering to herself, "You hit me, you actually hit me..."
The book mentions that Xie Jingchen generally did not hit women, with one exception—
When he particularly dislikes someone, he will not hesitate to take action, regardless of whether the person is a man or a woman.
Now, Qiao Feitian never expected that she would become someone Xie Jingchen "especially dislikes".
On the other side, thanks to Xia Fanxing's emergency treatment, Zhu Laosi has successfully regained consciousness, though he still seems a little dizzy.
Xia Fanxing instructed, "A good night's sleep tonight will help you recover. Remember to drink plenty of water to soothe your throat."
"Thank you, Nurse Xia." Zhu Laosi's voice was still hoarse.
Because of the farce that just happened, a large crowd has now gathered here.
Even the Youth League members were in the crowd, watching this scene with grim faces.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Laosi quickly got up and kowtowed to the leaders of the Youth League Committee and then to Xie Jingchen.
"Leader, Regiment Commander, I know you are very angry, but please, for the sake of Qiao Feitian carrying my child, don't kick her out of the regiment, okay?"
The onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Zhu Laosi was almost strangled to death by Qiao Feitian, and he came back from the brink of death, but now he is actually pleading for Qiao Feitian.
That's why we say he's honest and kind.
Where can you find a man who doesn't hold grudges?
When the Youth League leaders came out, he didn't speak, but looked at Xie Jingchen.
After all, this matter is directly related to Xie Jingchen. Qiao Feitian is Xie Jingchen's fiancée, and her actions with Zhu Laosi are essentially putting a green hat on Xie Jingchen's head.
However, the Youth League leaders did not see a trace of anger on Xie Jingchen's face.
He was like a block of ice, devoid of joy or sorrow, cold and indifferent.
"Doctor, please check the timeline of her pregnancy. If it's within the last month, then revoke all of Qiao Feitian's benefits and dismiss her from the workforce. However, because she has Zhu Laosi's child, she will be allowed to remain in the agricultural company as Zhu Laosi's family member, while being subject to public supervision and reform."
Xie Jingchen met the gaze of the Youth League leader. "Leader, what do you think?"
The Youth League leaders nodded repeatedly, having no objections whatsoever.
He even felt that Xie Jingchen's punishment was too lenient.
But then he thought again, Xie Jingchen was, after all, the regimental commander. If he punished him too severely in the current situation and caused Qiao Feitian to miscarry, it might cause public criticism.
This punishment is clearly the best option.
When the nurse tried to help Qiao Feitian up, she became like a madwoman, shouting and struggling: "I don't want to be examined! I don't want this child either! I don't want to be Zhu Laosi's family member!"
But things have come to this point, what choice does she have left?
Several nurses approached her together, and Qiao Feitian, unable to resist, was sent directly to the testing room.
When the doctor came out again, he announced in front of everyone that Qiao Feitian was less than a month pregnant.
Zhu Laosi felt a sense of relief.
Xie Jingchen turned and left immediately.
Once his figure had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the long-silent crowd could finally begin their discussion.
This gossip is so explosive, it'll keep everyone talking about it for half a month.
It's so sad for Commander Xie, who is such a good man. He is dedicated to his duties every day, risking his life for the army and the corps, but when he returns home, he is betrayed by the person closest to him.
Xia Fanxing left the noisy crowd and walked in the direction Xie Jingchen had gone.
