"You guys don't know, do you? I heard that Cheng Jian got that medicine from the veterinary station!"
"That drug is incredibly potent! It's a drug used to inseminate sows! I don't believe Huo Dongfang can withstand it!"
"What can we do if we can't help it? He doesn't have the ability! It's truly a tragedy!"
"Who says you have to be skilled? Hands and mouths are just as good!"
"Ye Fanxing used to always slouch and keep her head down. I only realized today that Ye Fanxing is quite pretty. If Huo Dongfang really doesn't want to marry her, my nephew from my maternal family is still single."
"Don't overthink it. Your nephew is an idiot. Do you think Ye Fanxing would agree to that? She's not stupid! Besides, Ye Fanxing has Huo Dongfang by her side now! Would he agree?"
"Who is he to Ye Fanxing? Who needs his consent? The deed is done, there's a child, he has no choice but to agree!"
Huo Dongfang finally understood why the women's director would say something so absurd as to suggest that he and Ye Fanxing get engaged.
It turned out that, unbeknownst to him, someone was using such filthy and vulgar language to smear Ye Fanxing.
Ye Fanxing is still a child, what did she do wrong?
Isn't Cheng Jian the one who made a mistake?
Aren't the ones who are at fault these people who outwardly act as elders but secretly use obscene language to shame and humiliate Ye Fanxing?
"Go on!"
Huo Dongfang suddenly spoke up.
This instantly made these people, who had been so unrestrained, look ashamed and embarrassed.
They never expected that their casual chat would be overheard by Huo Dongfang.
Everyone looked at each other, heads bowed, not daring to say anything more in front of Huo Dongfang.
"They were all so talkative just now, but now they've all become mute?"
Huo Dongfang's face was filled with murderous intent.
When you have a hundred people, you'll find all sorts of different kinds.
Huo Dongfang knew that not everyone could be a kind person.
Human nature has both good and evil aspects.
But he never imagined that in the military compound, there would be people like the village aunties, gossiping and spreading rumors.
"Bring me their fathers, husbands, and sons!"
As a man, Huo Dongfang doesn't mind having any scandals.
He doesn't mind that his hidden illness becomes the subject of gossip.
But he would never allow anyone to smear Ye Fanxing, the victim.
He couldn't even imagine how Ye Fanxing would bear it if she heard such words.
"Huo Dongfang, we're just having a casual chat, why make such a fuss?"
"That's right, that's right, we weren't talking nonsense, it's the truth!"
Once someone starts speaking, others follow suit.
It was as if they thought, "The law doesn't punish everyone, so what can Huo Dongfang do to them?"
"Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you hear it with your own ears? If you didn't see it, then tell me, who told you this?"
"It wasn't me, I heard it from Aunt Tao."
"I didn't say that; I heard it from Aunt Zhang!"
Perhaps those who gossip here don't know that Huo Dongfang was originally a competitive person.
Huo Dongfang has his own set of principles.
Some things, he either doesn't do at all, or if he does do them, he does them thoroughly.
He either won't investigate this matter, or if he does, he'll find the source of the rumors.
Everyone was pushing each other around, and no one was willing to admit that they had spread the rumor.
A short while later, a group of people arrived, all accompanied by the guards.
"Huo Dongfang, what happened?"
"Let your own people tell you what happened."
Huo Dongfang stood with his hands hanging down, exuding a murderous aura.
Everyone started talking at once, recounting what had happened.
They chirped and buzzed.
Huo Dongfang's gaze swept across the faces of everyone in front of him, and he felt even more disgusted.
"Have you found out?"
Huo Dongfang casually uttered four words.
Everyone else immediately fell silent.
If gossip is spread behind someone's back and the person involved overhears it, how can this matter be resolved peacefully?
"You all have mothers, sisters, and daughters. Put yourself in their shoes. If this happened to your loved ones, would you still be able to chat so casually?"
"The perpetrators are Cheng Jian and Su Mingyue. Why are you talking about Ye Fanxing instead of them?"
"Are you bullying Ye Fanxing because her father, Ye Heping, is dead? Or do you think Ye Fanxing is an orphan who can be bullied at will?"
"It's all just idle chatter. Why don't you accuse Cheng Jianshe of being a traitor? Why don't you mention Liu Guiying's mistreatment of her comrades' orphans? Why don't you mention Cheng Jian and Su Mingyue's viciousness?"
"Why single out Ye Fanxing? Is it because you find it morbidly interesting? Or do you think it satisfies your peculiar fetishes?"
Huo Dongfang's probing questions left everyone with complex expressions.
"Huo Dongfang, they were wrong to do this. Don't worry, we will definitely give them a good scolding."
"Yes, yes, they went too far in this matter!"
How could they say such things to a child?
Huo Dongfang knew why they dared to be so arrogant and talk about Ye Fanxing here.
Ultimately, it's because Ye Fanxing is Ye Heping's orphan!
The Cheng family abused Ye Fanxing because they knew she had no one to back her up.
These people are verbally bullying Ye Fanxing here because they know that Ye Fanxing has no one to back her up.
"This is the first and last time I will warn you."
"If I ever hear anyone talking about my fiancée like that behind my back again, I will file a lawsuit for defamation and libel!"
"Gentlemen, keep your people in check, and keep their mouths shut."
After saying this, Huo Dongfang turned and left.
After Huo Dongfang left, the people who had been chatting there also dispersed.
Everyone was very curious as to why Huo Dongfang would say that Ye Fanxing was his fiancée.
But even if they were still very gossipy, they dared not say anything more at this moment.
Huo Dongfang returned home after calming down, and Ye Fanxing was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.
The dim yellow light shone on Ye Fanxing's pretty face, making her look even more beautiful and serene.
Huo Dongfang originally did not want to have any other involvement with Ye Fanxing, but when someone said that Ye Fanxing and her nephew from her maternal family were going to have sex, Huo Dongfang felt a wave of fear.
In the military compound, everyone knew that Ye Fanxing was an orphan.
If someone were to follow Cheng Jian's example, how could Ye Fanxing prevent this tragedy from happening?
"Uncle Huo!"
Ye Fanxing put down her book and said warmly, "I'll go get you some dumplings!"
"Wait a moment." Huo Dongfang's gaze softened for a moment. "Xingxing, please sit down."
Ye Fanxing sat opposite Huo Dongfang with a slight unease.
"Uncle, please tell me."
When Huo Dongfang uttered the words "fiancée" in front of everyone, he was slightly impulsive.
But on his way home, Huo Dongfang already had a new plan.
"Ye Fanxing, will you marry me?"
