Chapter 62
"sorry."
Cao Ailing stood in front of the hospital bed and bowed deeply to Yu Sheng. She had not expected that she was involved in this. Now that she knew it, she naturally had to apologize.
"If I hadn't scared you, you wouldn't have fallen into the water and wouldn't have been admitted to the hospital. I'm really sorry."
Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Can you be blamed for this?"
"It is indeed my fault, Comrade Yu Sheng, you don't have to be so kind. I understand everything. You don't have to worry about me feeling guilty."
Yu Yao stood aside and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Oh my god, Sister Ailing is so cute when facing her second brother.
Everything is her fault. How does this connect to anything?
"It's none of your business." Yu Sheng put away his smile, "You saved me, I should thank you."
"No, no, no, it was me who made you fall into the water accidentally. Saving you was what I should have done. If it was someone else, I would have done the same."
After Cao Ailing said this, the ward suddenly became quiet, as if even the breathing of the people inside could be heard clearly.
I am really afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet.
Why did she feel that her second brother was angry?
Yu Yao stared at her second brother, trying to read some emotion from his eyes, but she heard him say, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if I didn't jump into the water?"
ah.
Yu Yao's mouth could fit an egg, but she didn't make any sound. However, she received the look from her second brother.
Can't she just leave?
Before leaving, she gave her second brother a big smile.
"Then I'll go ask the doctor if there's anything else I need to pay attention to." After saying that, she ran away in a flash. There was no other way. The light bulb was too bright and she was afraid that she would catch fire.
The way she sees it, she will soon have a second sister-in-law.
When I heard Cao Ailing say that yesterday, I really thought that my second brother was going to seal his heart and lock away his love. But when I saw it today, I realized that my worry was completely in vain.
In the ward, Cao Ailing's ears were red, and the redness had begun to spread to her cheeks and was showing signs of spreading.
Yu Sheng's question is too tricky!
If he hadn't jumped into the water, he...
"Why don't you speak?" Yu Sheng asked.
As long as they didn't ask weird questions, Cao Ailing could handle it. She said confidently, "What did I say?"
Who would have thought that after she asked this question, Yu Sheng would ask the same question again, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if I didn't jump into the water?"
"You...how should I know?" Cao Ailing was so angry that she sat on a chair beside her as if she was angry.
Yu Sheng stopped talking again, but he kept staring at Cao Ailing, causing Cao Ailing to glance away.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Yu Sheng suddenly started coughing violently.
"Hey, are you okay?" Cao Ailing didn't care about that anymore. She went forward to help Yu Sheng, who was half leaning, to make his posture more comfortable. She also patted his back, but she didn't dare to pat him too hard. She had never been so gentle in her life.
When Yu Sheng stopped coughing, Cao Ailing quickly handed him the water.
Yu Sheng drank it slowly, one sip at a time, before handing the cup to her and looking up at her again. The two of them looked into each other's eyes at an exceptionally close distance.
Cao Ailing was like a frightened deer. She immediately looked away and even leaned against the wall.
Yu Sheng curled his lips, but quickly retracted them. "Are you afraid of me?" he asked.
"I'm afraid of you?" Cao Ailing said it almost reflexively. There was no one in this world that she, Cao Ailing, was truly afraid of. She just... just felt that it was weird to look into each other's eyes.
Who knew that Yu Sheng would not give in, "If you are not afraid of me, why don't you dare look at me?"
"How could I not dare to look at you?" Cao Ailing raised her head viciously and saw Yu Sheng staring at her. His eyes were very focused, just like when he was writing a manuscript, but now he was not looking at the manuscript, but at himself.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yu Sheng pursed his lips, then retracted his gaze and coughed twice.
Cao Ailing was a little worried, but she seemed unable to do anything, so she looked a little at a loss.
How were her brothers taken care of when they were injured in the past? She had never taken care of anyone before and had no idea how she was taken care of.
"Don't worry, I will take responsibility."
Cao Ailing hummed, "I see... Wait, what did you say?"
Yu Sheng held his empty fist to his lips to suppress his cough, and said seriously: "You saved me yesterday, and we have a skin-to-skin relationship. I will be responsible for you."
"What...what did you say?" Cao Ailing felt that either Yu Sheng was crazy or she was crazy. Yu Sheng actually said that he would be responsible for her!
"Why, do you want to shirk your debt?"
Cao Ailing was a little confused, thinking that he felt that she had taken advantage of him and that she should be responsible for him. Why would this person be like this?
I felt angry and a little disappointed. Yu Sheng was willing to be with me for this reason. I wonder what others would think of me if they knew about this.
That’s not right. When did Cao Ailing ever care about what others think?
It just won’t work!
"We are all young people of the new era. I saved you, you can't expect me to repay you. Don't worry, I don't care what others say, and please don't worry about it either. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."
“Cough cough cough…”
Yu Sheng started coughing violently again. Cao Ailing wanted to ignore him but couldn't bear to do so, so she turned around and went forward to pat his back.
However, this time she couldn't get away. When she turned around to pour some water, Yu Sheng grabbed her hand.
This time Cao Ailing's face was completely red. She wanted to pull away, but Yu Sheng held her tightly, "Do you really not want to be with me anymore?"
Cao Ailing lost all her strength when she heard this. She stared blankly at the man in front of her, letting him hold her hand. After a long while, she pulled her hand back and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to date me?"
"I was wrong."
If Cao Ailing still didn't understand what he meant, then she was really stupid. For a moment she didn't know what to say.
Happy? Of course she was happy. It seemed that there was no other emotion except happiness. But it also seemed that the emotions filled her whole heart.
It took her a while to calm down. Recalling what Yu Sheng had just said, she asked, "You don't want to date me just for the sake of being irresponsible, do you?"
If that's the case, then she would rather not have it. She, Cao Ailing, never forces anyone to do anything.
Seeing that Yu Sheng remained silent, her mood sank. When she looked up at Yu Sheng, she was met with the same pair of dark eyes that she had seen countless times in her dreams.
"No, it's because I like you."
Yu Sheng already knew what she felt. He had never seen a girl as unbridled and outspoken as Cao Meiling. She seemed to have endless energy, which made Yu Sheng want to pay attention to her, see her smile, and follow her footsteps.
But Yu Sheng knew his own limitations. He knew that neither his family nor his body was worthy of her, so when Cao Meiling expressed her feelings to him, he rejected her without even thinking about it. That was the first time he saw a sense of loss in Cao Meiling.
Even Cao Meiling didn't appear in front of him for two whole days.
Just when he was worried and wanted to look for her, she appeared again, still with that bright smile, still humorous and witty, and still with the vitality that he did not have.
But she never mentioned what happened before, as if nothing had happened before.
While Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a hint of sadness in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't know what the emotion was, but that he knew the reason but was helpless to do anything about it.
After what happened yesterday, Yu Sheng thought a lot, but in the final analysis he was afraid. He was actually afraid that he would never see her again. What was the difference between that and never seeing the sunlight?
So he chose to be selfish for once.
"I really like you. Are you willing to date me?" Yu Sheng asked formally.
Now Cao Meiling had no way to hide, but hiding was not her character. She finally looked Yu Sheng straight in the eyes. When she realized that he was not joking, a wave of sadness surged in her heart and her eyes became sore.
She took a deep breath and forced back her tears. It would be too embarrassing to cry at this time.
"Then I'll give you a chance." She said arrogantly.
Yu Sheng immediately smiled, which made Cao Meiling dazed.
However, at this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the two of them bounced away like co-polar magnets.
"Who are you looking for, ma'am?" Yu Yao was helpless when someone broke into the ward without her noticing.
The lady seemed to know that she had disturbed someone's good time. She shook her head and said with a smile: "I went to the wrong ward. Sorry." Then she walked away quickly, leaving Yu Yao alone in embarrassment.
Yu Yao had no choice but to go into the ward.
Seeing Cao Meiling's blushing face and then looking at her second brother who was calm and composed, Yu Yao simply couldn't bear to watch. She found that the men in the Yu family were really more cunning than the other.
If it wasn't her second brother, she would definitely have dragged him out of the window.
After observing him in the hospital for a long time and after repeated confirmation by Yu Yao and Cao Meiling, they confirmed that Yu Sheng was no longer feeling unwell, and then the three of them left the hospital.
When they learned that she could drive, Cao Meiling and her boyfriend were amazed again.
The two of them must tell their elders about their relationship.
After all, these days, dating someone without the intention of getting married is considered a hooligan, so when Cao Lu found out that his little cabbage had been taken away by a pig from outside, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, he was so angry that he almost died, because he was the one who sent his daughter over there!
He finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
"Tell me, as a girl, can't you be more reserved? I asked you to investigate the enemy spies, and you want to find me a partner?" Brigade Cao was so angry that his eyebrows were about to burn.
However, Cao Meiling, who was shy in the hospital, was not afraid at all at this time. She said, "Don't joke. There are enemy spies in the Propaganda Department. If you want me to do something, you should be prepared to pay the price."
She checked the publicity department from top to bottom, inside and out, otherwise she would not have discovered the goodness of Yu Sheng.
Cao Lu was so overwhelmed by her words that he finally sat down and had a good talk.
However, he understood his daughter. Once she made up her mind, no one could change it, not to mention nine or ninety oxen. Just like when she insisted on joining the army, the two men in the family had already chosen to join the army. The couple finally had a little daughter, and originally thought of raising her well, but who knew that she secretly signed up for it and is doing quite well.
From then on, the couple's two worries turned into three worries, and it was all because of the love of their old father.
But since he is favored by his daughter, is Yu Yao's brother, and is capable of working in the Publicity Department, he must be a good person.
But Cao Lu got angry again when he thought of this. How did he know that Yu Sheng was qualified for the job of the Propaganda Department? It was his good daughter who kept talking about it.
It’s true that girls can’t be kept when they grow up!
"Meiling, think carefully. That boy has a weak health. If you choose him, you will definitely suffer in the future. No one in our family gives up halfway. If you choose him and then dislike his poor health in the future, then don't say you are from the Cao family anymore!"
Cao Meiling nodded repeatedly, "Dad, don't worry, don't you know what kind of person your daughter is?"
This is true, but Cao Lu just can't cheer up.
But Aunt Zheng suddenly asked, "He is so weak, will he be able to have children in the future?"
"Mom, this thing hasn't even started yet, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Cao Meiling being shy, as that was the first time for the young lady to get on a sedan chair, the couple were stunned at first, and then they burst into laughter, making Cao Meiling blush.
As a result, as soon as the matter was mentioned, Aunt Zheng went out the next day and heard people gossiping about her own daughter, saying things like hugging and hugging in broad daylight, and other unpleasant things.
Before she could teach anyone a lesson, she saw with her own eyes that Yu Yao had directly opened the door. This was the third door that had been opened in less than half a year since she came to the family compound. Aunt Zheng could count them all.
"Do you guys really have nothing to do? You just talk nonsense all day long. It's the end of the year and you still don't know how to calm down!"
Yu Yao never intended to explain things properly to these people. For some things, the more gently you explain them, the more people will think there is something fishy going on, so you have to be tougher in your attitude to refute the rumors.
"They are a serious couple, what does it have to do with you? Carrying someone on your back means you are having an affair? Then when you carry your son or your father on your back, can I say that you are a scumbag? You only know how to talk nonsense all day long. It's fine if you say that to me, but if you dare to say that to my second brother, I will not forgive you!"
I've seen Yu Yao talk before, but I've never seen her swear like that. If she continues to swear, who knows what else she'll say. Aunt Zheng hurried forward to hold her back.
"What are you doing? Why are you arguing here?"
When everyone saw Aunt Zheng coming, they all shrank up like quails. Joking and gossiping were one thing, but saying it in front of someone's family was another. Moreover, this man was the one who could decide their men's future. Who dared to say anything more?
However, their silence does not mean that Yu Yao will not speak, so everyone's faces were almost dyed like a dye vat under Yu Yao's vivid interpretation.
Auntie Zheng didn't yell and curse like Yu Yao did. She just snorted coldly and said, "Why are you angry with them? When your second brother and Meiling get married, won't the rumors be broken by themselves?"
When these words were spoken, everyone jumped up in surprise. What did this mean? Did it mean that those two were really together?
In the beginning, everyone was just gossiping. They didn't know whether the two people hugging each other were real or not. Deep down, they didn't believe it and said that it was impossible for the Cao family to raise a child who had casual relationships.
But some people hope deep down that this is true, so that they who are mediocre will appear not so mediocre. Look, the children of leaders are not educated very well either.
Even though they know it's most likely not true.
In addition, they also hope that the matter will ferment quickly so that the Cao family will not be able to easily cover it up. They want to see how they can resolve the matter and see their story become a topic of conversation and joke in the family courtyard in the future.
If there is no way to cover it up, then just get married. Seeing that fierce girl and sickly man together, there will definitely be a lot of stories. In their opinion, Cao Lu is so upright that he might really let his daughter take responsibility.
There will be something fun to watch then.
But the rumor just came out and they compromised?
It turns out that the girl is a money-loser. It doesn't matter whose family she is in, and no one takes it seriously.
At this time some people couldn't bear it anymore. After all, there weren't many people among them who harbored ill intentions, and most of them just wanted to watch the fun. They couldn't bear to watch a good girl marry a sickly man and ruin her life!
"Sister-in-law Zheng," an older military wife said, "You guys have to think this through. I've heard that it was just the kid from the Yu family who fell into the water yesterday, and she was pulled out by someone. What we despise most in our family compound is people who force marriage in this way. I don't think the Gu family is that kind of people either."
Hearing this, Auntie Zheng became even angrier. Why didn’t they do that before? They are still talking nonsense here when they know the truth. Are they thinking that I won’t bother with them?
She wrote them all down and would settle them one by one when she had the chance.
"Don't talk nonsense. If my Meiling doesn't want to, who can force her? Meiling and Yusheng are colleagues now. Isn't it normal for them to fall in love with each other? Besides, why didn't you girls see Yusheng fall into the water, but my girl did? How can they go out together if they are not in a relationship?"
Auntie Zheng pulled Yu Yao away and said, "You can be so careless when you are dating someone. You have nothing to do but take ideological lessons. From today on, every night, half an hour, no one is allowed to be less!"
"Hey, Auntie Zheng..."
"Sister-in-law Zheng!"
After everyone realized what was happening, they wanted to slap themselves twice. Why were they talking too much when there was nothing to do?
Isn’t it good to just eat some melon seeds and watch over your children every night? Who wants to attend those drowsy ideological classes?
The Cao family is really something. Don’t they even pick and choose when choosing a son-in-law?
I should have known earlier that their younger generation could be capable of doing this as well.
Yu Yao could easily guess what some people would say about him, saying that the Yu family was really good at climbing up the social ladder, one climbing up to the Gu family and the other to the Cao family, and that Yu Sheng relied on his face and so on.
As long as these people don't talk about it to her, Yu Yao doesn't care at all.
Two days later, Yu Yao was working at the health center when a man with a bruised face and nose came.
Yu Yao knew this man. He was the man from the family of Wang Saozi, the most gossipy woman in the family compound. He used to be a subordinate of Qiao Peng. His name seemed to be Xie Qiang. It looked like he was beaten up by someone?
"Sit down quickly. Is your eye okay?" It was so swollen like a pig's head that Yu Yao couldn't bear to look at it.
"hiss……"
Yu Yao hurriedly asked Li Ziyu to help press, "Apply medicine, don't move, are you injured, are your bones hurt?"
"No." The corner of the man's mouth was also broken, and he seemed unable to open his mouth to speak.
Unable to hold back, Yu Yao asked, "What's wrong with you guys? Are you changing the rules? Don't you need to stop at the right time?"
"What do you mean by stop? Isn't it normal to get hurt accidentally during a sparring match?"
Yu Yao felt the voice was familiar, and when she turned around, she saw who else could it be but her second sister-in-law?
"Sister Meiling, how come you have time to come here?" Isn't it time to go to work today?
Cao Meiling raised her fist and said nonchalantly, "I asked for leave. I just went to spar with someone and my hand was a little scratched. I came here to apply some medicine. I paid for his medicine as well."
What else is there to understand?
It turned out that the man under her command was dealt with by her second sister-in-law.
Yu Yao believed that Cao Meiling would not hit anyone for no reason. Now that she had done it, it must be this person's fault. Yu Yao was not gentle when applying the medicine, which made the person grimace.
Li Ziyu: "...How about I come?"
"No, I practice. How can I make progress without practice?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of ghosts howling outside, "Qiangzi, where are you? Who the hell beat you up like this?"
Her shout scared Yu Yao so much that his hands started shaking.
"hiss……"
"Qiangzi! Do you know how to apply medicine? Look what you've done to me!" Wang Fang started spitting. If Yu Yao hadn't retreated in time, her saliva would have splashed all over her.
Li Ziyu hurriedly took the medicine and said, "I'll do it, Yu Yao, you apply the medicine to Comrade Cao Meiling."
Yu Yao didn't want to swear in the clinic, so she directly pulled Cao Meiling back to the office.
"What happened? Why did you get into such a fight?"
There was nothing serious wrong with Cao Meiling's hand. As she said, it was just a few scratches.
Thinking that the other party was worried about her hand, Cao Meiling said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I came here because I was worried that they would cause trouble for you."
Then she talked about what happened today.
It turned out that the problem was caused by Wang Fang.
Originally, because Yu Yao had caused trouble before, many people in the family compound did not dare to talk nonsense about Yu Sheng and Cao Meiling anymore.
But there are still some self-righteous people, like Wang Fang.
Because she usually speaks harshly and without scruples, many people don't want to provoke her. Of course, it's not that they are afraid of her, but they think that if they are targeted by her, they will easily get into trouble.
But she thought she was so great and spoke without restraint.
In fact, many people think that this time Yu Sheng used some tricks to win Cao Meiling's heart, and some even think that his fall into the water was intentional. After all, most people are always willing to use all kinds of malicious speculations about people who have lived a better life than themselves, but no one dares to say so anymore.
Wang Fang is different. She thinks she is the embodiment of justice. If others dare to do it, why should she not dare to say it? She even thinks that if she dares to say it out loud, it will attract everyone's attention and everyone will regard her as a maverick.
In the words of later generations, she was a conspicuous bag.
Some people were willing to chat with her in private, but they knew to avoid the main person. But Wang Fang was different. When she saw Cao Meiling, she not only did not avoid her but also acted weird.
"Some girls are still too naive. They are coaxed into marrying useless men. Not only will they suffer losses, but they may also bring trouble to their families. But it's not the fault of these naive girls. Some shameless men are very powerful..."
Recalling this, Cao Meiling became even angrier. "I was staring at her. Her voice was not the slightest bit lower. I didn't want to go up and argue with her. If I hit her, she would still yell. I went straight to her husband and beat him up. She wanted to scold my husband, so I beat her husband up. I want to see who dares to bully Yu Sheng!"
After she finished speaking, she saw Yu Yao who seemed to be smiling, and felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't tell your second brother this."
What? Her man is going to be laughed at to death.
Yu Yao really loves her second sister-in-law, who dares to love and hate without any hesitation, and is so kind to her second brother.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."
Cao Meiling was so delighted when she was called sister-in-law that she blinked at Yu Yao and did not refuse the title.
Seeing this, Yu Yao became even happier.
But Li Ziyu was not very happy. His ears were about to be deafened by this woman.
"Sister-in-law, please keep your voice down. This is a clinic and there are other patients here."
Wang Fang lowered her voice and asked, "My husband's injury won't affect his work, right? Qiangzi, tell me who beat you up like this. It's simply lawless."
She has been in this academy for quite a while, and she has never seen her man get injured like this without doing his duty. If she knows who did it, she will definitely find someone to settle the score.
In Wang Fang's eyes, her man is good in every way except that he is too soft-tempered and can be bullied by anyone. It's okay that he is like this in front of her, but he is still like this when facing outsiders, which is really infuriating. This family can only rely on her.
"Why don't you say anything?"
"What are you talking about? Can you shut up? You're yelling all day long. Your voice can be heard outside the yard. What are you yelling about?" Xie Qiang yelled, and the wound at the corner of his mouth split open, but he seemed to be unaware and scolded Wang Fang without any politeness.
Wang Fang was stunned. She immediately started to touch Xie Qiang's face and said, "I'm yelling? Are you yelling or am I yelling?"
"You useless piece of shit, you lost the fight because you are not good enough. I was kind enough to care about you, but you still rushed towards me. You are capable, right?"
"What are you arguing about? Do you still want to apply medicine?" Li Ziyu threw the cotton swab and glared at the two of them, "You can't hear a word I say. If you want to argue, go back and argue!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the two men became silent. Nowadays, people with a little common sense would not dare to offend a doctor easily, but both of them were angry and the atmosphere was very tense.
Li Ziyu was too lazy to look at it and said, "It's just superficial wounds. It's nothing serious. Go back and apply medicine."
"I won't go back. Doctor, please give me the surgery. Thank you, doctor."
Xie Qiang's words had stirred up a hornet's nest. Wang Fang angrily said, "Xie Qiang, I gave you face, didn't I? You are despising me. If you despise me, don't let me bear you a son. If you are brave enough, don't eat the food I cook for you!"
"You think I want to eat? Tomorrow you should pack up and go back home. I won't be able to survive here any longer." Not wanting to apply more medicine, Xie Qiang stood up and walked out.
Wang Fang was stunned for a long while before she started to cry out, "Stop right there! Xie Qiang! I risked my life to take care of you and the child..."
The sound gradually faded away. Yu Yao in the office spread his hands and said, "By the way, your beating won't make things difficult for Cao Lu and the others, right?"
Yu Yao knew that Cao Meiling was a person who knew her limits, but she was afraid that she would take all the grievances on herself for the sake of her second brother.
"It's okay. It's not our fault. Besides, it's just a competition. No one can find fault with me."
Moreover, Cao Meiling was sure that the other party would not dare to make trouble.
Although she didn't want to admit it, many women nowadays are not as good as men, especially in terms of martial arts. Many men also look down on women. So if Xie Qiang dared to make trouble after being beaten like this by a woman, those people in the army would laugh at him to death.
This was indeed the fact. Not long after, Wang Fang found out that her man was beaten by Cao Meiling. Even though she thought it was useless to abandon her man, her first thought was to find trouble with Cao Meiling.
"How could that girl be so vicious and hit you so hard!" She looked at her man's pig-like face, which was even more frightening with his expressionless look. She was so angry that she said, "I'm going to find her!"
"Stop right there! Don't you think I'm embarrassing enough? You still want to cause trouble for me?" Xie Qiang didn't know why he married such a restless wife.
Wang Fang was also very puzzled. Normally, Xie Qiang almost obeyed her every word, but this was the nth time he had yelled at her today.
I haven't even given up on him for not being able to beat a woman and embarrassing me outside, but he still dares to lose his temper with me? What's his reason?
"If you have the guts to yell at me, go and fight me back, you piece of shit. You can't even beat a woman."
This really trampled on Xie Qiang's dignity. How could he bear it? He pointed at Wang Fang's nose and said, "Say it again, will you?"
"Just say it. Am I afraid of you?" In fact, Wang Fang was really a little scared now. Xie Qiang's expression and his pig-like face made him look like he was about to eat someone.
But she didn't want to be inferior to Xie Qiang. If she did that, would she still have a status in this family in the future?
"I said, you are a piece of trash, what, you still want to..." Before I could finish a few words, Wang Fang only felt a buzzing in her ears, "You damn it, Xie Qiang, you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death..."
The couple made so much noise at home that people nearby finally rushed in and separated the two people who were fighting.
Although Xie Qiang seemed quite strong, he would never get any good results when fighting with a woman. Even if he was furious, he couldn't throw his wife over his shoulder, so he only left a few bruises on Wang Fang's body. His injury was more serious, as his face was bruised and bleeding.
Lin Xi is also in charge of this place. She came over soon and became impatient when she saw Wang Fang. She didn't want to work as the women's director for a whole day. Why did she have so many things to do?
"What's going on? Xie Qiang, you've become so capable, right? You can even beat your wife? Who can tell me what happened?"
"It's nothing, just a fight between a couple, what's the big deal?" Wang Fang spoke first. She really didn't want people to know that Xie Qiang was beaten like this by a woman. She couldn't bear to lose face.
Unfortunately, Lin Xi was busy with work these two days and had no time to pay attention to them. She had no idea what was going on between Cao Meiling and them. She thought that after Yu Yao's shock, no one would dare to point fingers at Yu Sheng and his friends anymore, so she had no idea what was going on with Xie Qiang's face.
"You got beaten like this in a fight. Was this a fight? Was it a grudge?"
Wang Fang moved her lips but didn't explain.
However, how could Cao Meiling hide her intention to settle a score with someone? Not only did the entire army know about it, but there were at least dozens of people watching when the two were sparring, and one of them happened to have just heard her man gossiping.
"How could she do that? It was Cao Meiling who beat him!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this and asked what was going on.
You agreed to stay together and watch melons together until you grow old, so how come you are the only one who knows about all the excitement now?
In front of Wang Fang and her husband, and with the director of women's affairs beside them, the man certainly didn't dare to say that it was Cao Meiling who lectured him. He only said, "My husband said that Cao Meiling had a discussion with Captain Xie today. Maybe the battle was a bit intense, so this happened."
Cao Meiling?
Looking for Xie Qiang to spar with, what is the point of these two people who have nothing in common sparring about?
And it’s obvious that Xie Qiang is no match for Cao Meiling. Doesn’t Cao Meiling know who to find a stronger opponent if she wants to compete with him?
Tsk tsk, Cao Meiling is so strong. Even if Xie Qiang is weak, he is still a military officer who has been on the battlefield. How could she beat him like this?
At this moment, no one is naive enough to think that Xie Qiang would give in to Cao Meiling. If he had been more tolerant, he would never have been beaten into such a state!
So why did Cao Meiling want to teach Xie Qiang a lesson? No, why did she want to compete with Xie Qiang?
This was too easy to guess. Wang Fang was so proud of herself for gossiping about Cao Meiling and Yu Sheng these past two days. She didn't expect that Cao Meiling would not settle the score with her, but beat up her man without saying a word. It was really funny.
When Wang Fang saw the change in the way people looked at her, she knew that everyone had probably guessed the truth of the matter. She was extremely embarrassed for a moment, but there was nothing she could do now that she knew the truth. She simply went all out and started crying.
"Director Lin, you have to make the decision for us. My man has worked diligently for the country for so many years. He has been injured many times when he came back from outside. I accept it because he is defending the country and the people. But now he has been beaten like this without any mission. If the army has such discipline, who will be willing to serve in the future? It can't be that the children of leaders can do whatever they want, right?"
Everyone gasped when they heard this. They put the blame on Cao Lu. He was really brave.
But I have to say, what she said was so beautiful that even she herself felt that she had performed beyond her normal level.
Immediately, someone who thought he was fair spoke up for her.
"She is right. Isn't Cao Ailing just seeking revenge? Even if she is Cao Lu's daughter, she shouldn't do this, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had this idea in their minds.
I'm afraid she dared to do this because she is Cao Lu's daughter, otherwise why hasn't such a thing happened to anyone else?
This Cao Ailing is too vindictive. It was just a small matter. It would be ok if she just had a quarrel, but why did she go and hit someone?
Now it was Wang Fang who offended her. What if they accidentally offended Cao Ailing in the future? Would she also beat her man?
This won’t work!
"Yes, Cao Ailing clearly has a conflict with Wang Fang. How could she hit the battalion commander?"
"No matter what, you shouldn't hit people casually, right?"
Everyone was talking at once, and seeing that the public opinion was heading in an uncontrollable direction, Lin Xi quickly shouted, "Shut up, everyone. It's not chaotic enough, is it?"
These people are all bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong. Why don't they dare to complain about Yu Yao anymore? It's just because they see that Yu Yao dares to offend anyone, and they all know that Cao Lu and his wife are upright and will never protect their people. Now they start to be unreasonable and intolerant. It's really lazy to watch.
"It seems that you think the evening ideology class is too short, right? I also think that you can learn too little in half an hour. Two hours should be enough. After dinner, we can..."
Before she could finish her words, someone interrupted her, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that the hot water I boiled is still in the pot. I have to go back. I can't waste it!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm still stewing radishes at home. I'm afraid the radishes have melted."
"I have to go back first..."
Soon, Lin Xi and Xie Qiang were the only ones left at the scene.
"Tell me what happened. If it was really that girl Meiling who bullied you, don't worry, I will never cover up for her."
Seeing that Wang Fang was about to yell, she quickly added: "Think it over carefully before you speak. Are you guys right or wrong in this matter?"
"Director Lin, it's not that serious. I just had a sparring match with Comrade Cao Meiling. I'm not as skilled as her, and it has nothing to do with anything else." Xie Qiang didn't want to pursue the matter anymore. After all, it was his wife who started the trouble, and it would be embarrassing for him to talk about it. It was embarrassing enough that he lost to Cao Meiling. How could a woman be so strong? How could she be such a good fighter?
Xie Qiang really couldn't understand it.
"How can it be okay? How can someone hit someone so hard during a sparring match?" Wang Fang knew that she was the one who provoked the other person first, but she only spoke a few words, so how could the other person hit her?
Lin Xi glanced at the idiot and asked, "So you think Cao Meiling is taking revenge on someone privately? What private grudge do you have? Tell me, are you brave enough to do it or not?"
She knew that this matter concerned Cao Meiling and she must find out the whole story, otherwise she would not be able to get away with Cao Lu.
This really irritated Wang Fang. "Just say it. What am I afraid of? I just told them a few truths. They can't stand hearing the truth, right?"
Although she added some of her own understanding to the truth, it is still the truth, isn't it?
"What truth?" Lin Xi asked calmly.
"It's about her and Yu Sheng, isn't it? There are so many comrades in the Propaganda Department, why did Cao Meiling fall for a sickly girl? And Cao Meiling is a serving officer, why would she go to the Propaganda Department? This opportunity was obtained by Yu Yao, can you think there is nothing wrong with it? And the girl fell into the water and was rescued, this kind of trick can happen several times in the family academy every year, other people are heroes saving girls, but Yu Sheng is the one who tricked the girl."
"There are so many things going on. It's obvious that the Yu family is trying to trick Cao Meiling. But she's probably not very smart and is still rushing to get married. Director Lin, tell me, which of these words I said was wrong?"
Lin Xi was almost laughing because of her.
"What does it have to do with you that Cao Meiling likes Yu Sheng? She has to report to you how she treats her partner, right?"
"What is it that you can ask Cao Meiling what she did at the Propaganda Department?"
"Who else told you that it was Yu Yao who asked Cao Meiling to go to the Publicity Department?"
Wang Fang was confused by the series of questions. "No... isn't it?"
