"Cousin Wantang, you need to open your eyes wider. Some people may seem to have a powerful background, but if they are useless, it's all for nothing."
Huo Jun's appearance at the hospital didn't surprise Su Wantang, but instead of causing him trouble, he went out of his way to make sarcastic remarks about her man.
Su Wantang's face instantly turned cold.
Liu Cuicui was of average appearance, while Huo Jun was ambitious and eager to climb the social ladder. Su Wantang knew perfectly well that Liu Cuicui had spread many rumors behind Huo Jun's back, especially regarding these two changed marriages.
What's with the disdain for Huo Jun being a peasant? What's with the lust for the Lu family's wealth?...
Huo Jun is good at putting on an act, but he is actually extremely jealous.
"Platoon Leader Huo, oh no, I forgot, he's the squad leader."
Su Wantang quickly changed her tune, but there was no trace of apology in her words; it sounded more like a deliberate provocation.
This reminded Huo Jun of the humiliating moment when he mistook Su Wantang for his division commander's daughter and pursued her relentlessly, and his face suddenly darkened.
"I am now the deputy battalion commander!"
Su Wantang froze, her dark pupils filling her eyes.
Huo Jun was very pleased with Su Wantang's surprised expression.
He was a year older than Lu Huai'an and had joined the army a year earlier, but Lu Huai'an was two ranks higher than him and was also better looking. The leaders praised Lu Huai'an, and the female comrades liked Lu Huai'an. Huo Jun was clearly so outstanding, but he became a mere foil.
Huo Jun was always arrogant. He didn't think Lu Huai'an was better than him. Instead, he stubbornly believed that Lu Huai'an was just a rich kid who relied on his family. He was determined to outdo Lu Huai'an.
But... Su Wantang, a capitalist's daughter, actually looks down on him?!
I chose Lu Huai'an!!!
This is something Huo Jun cannot tolerate!
Even if he wouldn't marry a capitalist like Su Wantang for the sake of his own future, Su Wantang should still be infatuated with him!
Huo Jun sneered, "Cousin Wan Tang, watch your words and actions. Fortune changes every thirty years. I'm only ignoring you because I'm not going to hold a grudge against you, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Su Wantang sneered. "A deputy battalion commander? Judging from Comrade Huo's tone, I thought he was a high-ranking officer."
“By the way, why are you calling me cousin? I’m married now. According to military regulations, my husband has a higher rank than you. Next time we meet, please call me sister-in-law, Mr. Huo…” Su Wantang emphasized the word “deputy”.
"you!!!"
Huo Jun's face turned ashen. He muttered a curse under his breath, "Ungrateful wretch," and strode away.
Su Wantang smugly hummed. If Huo Jun hadn't been a soldier with a high level of vigilance, she would have really wanted to give him a couple of injections!
Huo Jun, you're not concerned about saving face? I'll teach you a lesson you won't be able to hide! Don't be shameless, I'll make you lose all your dignity!
but...
He was demoted two ranks and then promoted three ranks.
Su Wantang didn't believe Huo Jun had any real skills. Did he just get lucky?
She planned to ask Lu Huai'an when she got home that night; he should know about it.
Su Wantang entered the office, completely unaware that Liu Cuicui, who was being helped out of bed to use the bathroom, had seen everything clearly. Liu Cuicui gripped the door frame tightly with her fingers, almost grinding her teeth to powder.
Su Wantang! You shameless hussy! You always steal everything from me! You deserve to die!
I won't let you take Brother Huo away from me!
In this lifetime, the position of the leader's wife will definitely be mine!
A second before the two ended their conversation, Liu Cuicui shrank into the ward, closed the door, and ran to the bed with a grimace.
Just a second before Liu Cuicui was knocked unconscious last night, a slight wavering appeared in her resolute heart.
She became a runaway educated youth and went through many hardships to reach the army, but Huo Jun didn't acknowledge her. In the end, although she finally married Huo Jun as she wished, she had no money, suffered from bullying by her neighbors, and Huo Jun didn't protect her, but instead helped the neighbors beat her up.
Now, he's been demoted two ranks and is no longer even eligible for housing...
Huo Xiaoyan beat her mercilessly, forcing her to divorce. Su Wantang, on the other hand, never laid a hand on her, even though she was disliked by her mother-in-law. She became a doctor and had a glamorous life in public.
But at that moment, in a daze, Liu Cuicui heard the news that Huo Jun was now the deputy battalion commander, and instantly, her dejection vanished.
So what if Su Wantang is doing well outside? She'll be living a life of widowhood for the rest of her life! And her mother-in-law will dislike her for the rest of her life!
She's different.
Huo Xiaoyan is just a country bumpkin. How could a city girl like her not be able to handle a rural mother-in-law? What a joke!
Previously, she could manipulate Huo Xiaoyan so much that Huo Xiaoyan would willingly buy her train tickets; now she has even more tricks and strength!
Sure enough, Huo Xiaoyan has already been sent to the cafeteria to earn money.
You idiot!
As Liu Cuicui pondered this, she waited for Huo Jun to enter the ward.
In his imagination, he felt sorry for her, cared for her tenderly, and she shyly and affectionately called out "Brother Huo"...
However, Liu Cuicui waited until she felt a throbbing pain in her lower body, but still didn't hear the door open.
Finally, unable to hold her urination any longer, she opened the ward door. It was early, and there weren't many patients in the surgery department. The long corridor was empty, and Huo Jun was nowhere to be seen.
"Su Wantang! You give me—"
Halfway through her harsh words, Liu Cuicui clutched her lower abdomen and ran towards the toilet with an awkward gait.
"call."
After relieving herself of her urgent needs, Liu Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Cuicui's injuries were all superficial, and she was staying in the surgical ward. On her way back, she happened to run into Su Yue, who had suffered another defeat, as she passed by Xu Feng's office. Her eyes lit up.
"Su Yue."
Upon seeing Liu Cuicui, Su Yue recalled how Liu Cuicui had been knocked unconscious by the old woman the previous night, and a sense of panic welled up inside her.
In Su Yue's eyes, Liu Cuicui was a warrior, very resilient, but yesterday she was beaten unconscious, which scared Su Yue so much that she thought Liu Cuicui was pregnant. Fearing that she would be investigated, she took advantage of the crowd and immediately ran away.
Seeing Liu Cuicui's dark expression, Su Yue thought that she had lost her child and that Liu Cuicui was coming to settle scores with her. She felt a chill and took two steps back.
She shifted the blame, saying, "Cui Cui, don't blame me. I didn't know you and your mother-in-law had a bad relationship. It was Su Wantang who brought your mother-in-law to me."
It doesn't make sense that Su Wantang and Liu Cuicui are cousins, since Liu Cuicui knows Wen Wanqing but Su Wantang doesn't know Huo Xiaoyan.
The truth turned out to be correct, albeit by accident.
Liu Cuicui didn't doubt that Su Yue was lying. Why would Huo Xiaoyan come all of a sudden? Someone must be up to something!
And who else could be the one secretly plotting this, besides Su Wantang who just suffered a lot of anger at that old hag Wen Wanqing?
Liu Cuicui gritted her teeth and said, "I knew it! It was her who did it!"
Seeing that Liu Cuicui believed her, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and her tone returned to its usual arrogant manner.
"You had a miscarriage, why aren't you resting? Why are you looking for me?"
“I didn’t miscarry.” Liu Cuicui said with a strange look on her face.
Feeling like she'd been tricked, Su Yue rolled her eyes: "You didn't miscarry, so why are you playing the victim? I'm not your man!"
When Huo Jun was mentioned, Liu Cuicui thought of the incident where he chatted with Su Wantang, then left her and walked away. Her face turned ashen.
She looked up, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.
