"I didn't..."
He tried to explain something, but neither of the children wanted to listen. They turned to look at their mother on the stage, making "ee-ya-ee-ya" sounds. Although it was hard to understand, it was easy to imagine that they were saying something encouraging.
Honestly, Xiao Yuheng felt quite wronged. He had never spoken to that crazy woman on stage before, so how did she end up targeting him and making a scene in front of An'an?
Now he can only pray that An'an won't be swayed and will believe in his innocence.
While he was lost in thought, Gu An'an and Meng Ru had already removed the unnecessary decorations and were ready to fight.
"Comrade Gu, please give me your guidance."
"Comrade Meng, let's put on a friendly competition for everyone."
Meng Ru made the first move. When she rushed towards Gu An'an, Gu An'an remained standing firmly in place, showing no reaction to Meng Ru's punch. Just when everyone thought she might be frightened by Meng Ru's punch, Gu An'an grabbed Meng Ru's fist and pulled her back. Before Meng Ru could react, Gu An'an stretched out her leg and tripped her.
Are you alright?
Even after lying on the ground, Meng Ru didn't react. But when she met Gu An'an's smiling eyes, Meng Ru felt that Gu An'an was mocking her, mocking her incompetence, and mocking her overestimation of her abilities.
"I'm fine."
Meng Ru gritted her teeth, stood up, and got into a fighting stance, saying, "Again!"
She refused to believe that she could possibly lose to a housewife!
"If Miss Meng wishes to continue, then I will gladly oblige."
Next, the audience witnessed Meng Ru getting up and falling down repeatedly, completely being crushed.
"God is really cruel to people. Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao is already amazing enough, but his wife is just as outstanding. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others."
"My sister-in-law didn't really do anything; she was just teasing Comrade Meng. Otherwise, Comrade Meng would have been carried away long ago."
"That's right. I can tell from your skills that your sister-in-law has trained. Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao is too ruthless. He's willing to discipline such a beautiful wife. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to do that."
"Stop dreaming. How could someone as capable as your sister-in-law possibly be interested in you?"
......
There were quite a few such discussions in the audience. Most people looked at Xiao Yuheng with envy, jealousy, and condemnation. They thought that scolding them would be enough, but how could they scold such a soft woman?
However, Xiao Yuheng didn't receive any of these glances; his attention was entirely on the stage.
He certainly believed in Gu An'an's abilities, but he didn't trust Meng Ru's character and was afraid that Meng Ru would use underhanded tactics to harm his wife.
"Stop! I'm not playing anymore."
Although Gu An'an did not intentionally use any dirty tricks, Meng Ru was still dizzy from being thrown around. Even though she was unwilling, she still called for a pause.
Gu An'an didn't make things difficult for her. As soon as she asked to stop, Gu An'an reached out and pulled her up.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Comrade Meng."
If they weren't on stage, Meng Ru would have already lost her temper, but with so many people watching, she could only force a smile and say, "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
At this moment, Meng Ru had lost her initial elegance. Her makeup was smudged and her hair was a mess. She swore that she had never been so embarrassed and out of control in public in her entire life.
"I'll go back and pack my things first."
After greeting the host, Meng Ru didn't want to stay on stage for another second, and her steps as she left were somewhat flustered and embarrassed.
"Wow!" Mom is so great!
The two little ones were the most enthusiastic when Gu An'an returned.
"Are you alright?"
Although he witnessed an overwhelming victory, he still asked a question with concern.
"without."
Gu An'an put her coat and scarf back on, and the compliments from those around her had already begun.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't know you had this skill."
Commander Zhao's impression of Gu An'an was getting better and better. He joined the army when he was a teenager and his favorite people were those who could fight, regardless of gender.
Those in the know can see the skill. Although Gu An'an only showed off a few moves easily, her strength was definitely not bad. She even gave the impression of being no less capable than a professional female soldier.
"Commander Zhao is joking. It's just a friendly match for everyone."
After holding it in for a while, Commander Zhao finally blurted out, "What a pity, if you weren't Xiao Xiao's wife, I would have recruited you into the army."
He didn't mean that the couple couldn't enlist at the same time, but Xiao Yuheng had already reached his current position and had two newborn children, so there was really no need for Gu An'an to take the path of enlisting.
Gu An'an just smiled. She didn't want to join the army. She had already lived such a tiring life in her previous life. In this life, she just wanted to live a simpler life.
"What are you saying! An'an is good at everything, how could she do everything?"
Commander Zhao was immediately rebuked by his wife as soon as he finished speaking.
"I was just saying."
"Talking about it won't work either."
While Gu An'an remained composed amidst the praise, Meng Ru backstage had already been reprimanded by her superiors.
What's wrong with you today?
Wang Man, the head of the cultural troupe, is a very capable woman. She is quite satisfied with Meng Ru's talent, but she never expected that Meng Ru would take advantage of her high regard to cause such trouble.
"I just wanted to put on a few more shows to liven up the atmosphere."
Meng Ru certainly wouldn't dare say that she wanted to embarrass Gu An'an, but even if she didn't say it, the other party would know. After all, Gu An'an was one of her subordinates, and Wang Man knew a little about their affairs, including the time when Meng Ru failed to win over Xiao Yuheng.
"I don't want to be too harsh, but you know what you're really after. I don't want this to happen again. And remember this: you represent not only yourself, but also the honor of our entire team. Think things through before you do anything, or don't blame me for disciplining you."
These words were already quite serious, so Meng Ru dared not say anything and could only bury her head low.
Wang Man didn't see her expression, otherwise she would definitely be thinking about who could replace her.
"Sister Ru, are you alright?"
Meng Ru knew that the people backstage were laughing at her, so she straightened her back even more.
"I'm fine. I just cooperated with a performance. What could possibly happen?"
She spoke lightly, but only she knew how tightly she gripped the brush in her hand...
