Her heart ached. Su Wantang clenched her fists, her face as cold as ice.
Seeing her like this, Liu Cuicui curled her lips.
Lu Huai'an is handsome and comes from a good family. How could Su Wantang, being a woman herself, not like him? No matter how well she pretended!
If she hadn't been entangled with Lu Huai'an her whole life in her previous life, never managing to get a second glance from him, while Huo Jun, a peasant she looked down upon, rose all the way to the rank of commander, Liu Cuicui wouldn't have insisted on a marriage exchange.
Su Wantang wants to be gentle and timid, and develop feelings for Lu Huai'an over time?
That depends on whether she allows it or not!
It doesn't make sense. In her past life, she had a bad reputation and was disliked by Lu Huai'an. He would rather live in the dormitory than come back to see her. But Su Wantang lived under the same roof as Lu Huai'an, even though they didn't live in the same room!
Although Liu Cuicui was reluctant to admit it, that bitch Su Wantang was just prettier than her.
In the past life, it was Li Lei who stepped in, and Lu Huai'an didn't go home to live. But when it came to Su Wantang, things changed. Was she still bewitched by that foxy face?
"Ah!" Liu Cuicui screamed, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Even if you don't like cousin Wantang, this capitalist's daughter, you can't do such a disgraceful thing! How can you do this...where do you put cousin Wantang's face?!"
Among the three people drinking at the next table, Zhou Qing was the first to react, and he quickly stood up.
"Sister-in-law, it's not what you think!"
"No, it's not like that, it's like that? I saw it with my own eyes, they were hugging each other. If we had come any later, wouldn't they have been biting each other?" Liu Cuicui jumped out and interrupted Zhou Qing's explanation.
Liu Cuicui wouldn't be foolish enough to orchestrate Lu Huai'an and Su Yue's illicit affair in her own home. Firstly, she couldn't possibly let another woman have the man she herself had.
Secondly, while one might engage in promiscuous behavior while drunk, it's best to do so when no one is around. A housewarming party with so many people is simply not feasible unless she's drugged, but that would inevitably cause her a lot of trouble.
What she wanted was for Su Wantang to be jealous, just like she had in her past life, to hysterically go crazy over Lu Huai'an, creating an opportunity for Su Yue to take advantage of the situation.
"Did you eat garlic? Your breath smells so bad!" Liu Hu said in a loud voice.
Wu Xu quickly added, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense. Lu Ying is drunk and mistook her for you."
Zhou Qing's eyelids twitched; it would have been better not to explain at all!
"sister in law--"
"No need to say anything more." Su Wantang's tone was cold.
She stepped forward, and Liu Cuicui continued to fan the flames from her side: "Wantang, it's normal for men to mistake someone for someone else when they're drunk. Don't be angry, nothing happened, right? Even though you're a capitalist's daughter... Battalion Commander Lu didn't say anything, he just gritted his teeth and married you, so don't—"
*Smack*
Su Wantang slapped him across the face.
"Shut up!"
Liu Cuicui was slapped, but she became even more excited.
It's good to be angry; getting angry solves the problem.
"Wantang! I've done you a disservice—"
A silver needle was inserted into Liu Cuicui's mute acupoint. Her mouth opened and closed, but she did not make a sound. She looked at Su Wantang with fear in her eyes.
Before Liu Cuicui could catch Su Wantang and get some answers, a heavy thud behind her caught her attention.
Lu Huai'an pushed Su Yue away, and her smug smile froze abruptly. Her head slammed against the bed behind her due to the force of the impact, and she winced in pain, letting out a short cry of pain.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you wearing my wife's clothes and pretending to be my wife?"
"Don't think that just because you have two eyes and one nose, you're as beautiful as my wife! One of your eyes is bigger than the other, and your nose is flat. You're really ugly!"
Hearing Lu Huai'an's "two eyes, one nose" theory again, and still praising her beauty, Su Wantang couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Lu Huai'an," she called out.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Huai'an turned around abruptly. His usual calm and deep eyes were gone, replaced by a pitiful look that made Su Wantang feel as if she were seeing the puppy she used to raise.
"daughter in law."
Lu Huai'an walked over in two steps, took Su Wantang's hand, pointed at Su Yue on the ground, and complained, "She took advantage of me, I'm not clean anymore."
Su Yue was known as the most beautiful woman in the Southwest Military Region, so her appearance was naturally outstanding. She had many suitors, including a deputy regimental commander who pursued her, but Su Yue disliked him because he was a divorcee and did not agree to date him.
Right now, she was the one who was at a disadvantage, but Lu Huai'an publicly criticized her for being dirty in front of so many people. Her face turned green with anger, and her eyes looked like they were filled with poison when she looked at Su Wantang.
Su Wantang was stunned, not expecting Lu Huai'an to say something so childish.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing's eyelids twitched violently. If he didn't stop it, the battalion commander would lose face in front of his sister-in-law.
He hurriedly reached out to grab Lu Huai'an: "Battalion Commander—"
Unexpectedly, Lu Huai'an disdainfully shook off his arm: "Get off me, I want to sit next to my wife."
Meeting Su Wantang's ambiguous gaze, Zhou Qing pointed to his head and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, the battalion commander is acting a little differently after drinking."
“Wife, don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m not mentally unstable. He’s just jealous that I have such a beautiful wife like you,” Lu Huai’an insisted.
It's more than just a little different.
In Su Wantang's words, it was a complete gender reassignment.
For Lu Huai'an's sake, Su Wantang said to him, "Quiet down, don't speak."
Her tone was normal, but to Lu Huai'an, who had been drinking, it sounded like his wife was scolding him. He pouted and stared at Su Wantang with a wronged expression.
Especially when Su Wantang pried Lu Huai'an's fingers apart one by one, she felt that Lu Huai'an was about to cry at any moment.
"Su Yue." Su Wantang squatted down, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look up. "So...you were going against me...because you like Huai'an?"
