Jiang Yun's counterattack was straightforward and sharp, and it hit Mo Xiaohui's sore spot.
Mo Xiaohui was caught off guard, her face turning pale and then red. The smile she was trying so hard to maintain was uglier than crying. She opened her mouth and managed to squeeze out a few words: "It's for work."
Jiang Yun said mercilessly: "Is it needed or exploited?"
Mo Xiaohui's face completely fell, tears welling up in her eyes: "Jiang Jun, the work was assigned by the organization, not my own request."
Jiang Jun sneered, "You know clearly whether this was your own request or not!"
Mo Xiaohui wiped her tears and said, "As Mr. Hou's assistant, my achievements are obvious to all and recognized by the organization."
Jiang Jun was disdainful. He couldn't stand people who acted foolishly. "Engineer Hou has produced over ten years of research, and you've only been with him for less than a year, yet your name is already on the back of his lab report. Are you sure you're more capable than the other people in Hou's lab?"
Mo Xiaohui lowered her eyes, tears still falling. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she wiped her tears, and her back felt tight.
It was because her name was signed on the report that Mo Xiaohui was able to gain merit, leave the military research base smoothly, and stay safely in Beijing.
Mo Xiaohui thought she had kept this matter secret enough. She understood all of Hou Jianliang's research results very thoroughly, and even selected some of Hou's work notes to compile an experimental report as her own research experience. Even Mo Kaifeng did not find anything wrong.
Facing Jiang Jun's questioning, Mo Xiaohui didn't dare to say another word, for fear that Jiang Jun would say something shocking to reveal her secret.
Jiang Jun stared intently at Mo Xiaohui's reaction. Knowing that his probing had paid off, he took the opportunity to press the issue, "How much did you contribute to that report? You know the answer yourself, right?"
Mo Xiaohui suddenly raised her head, tears in her eyes, and said angrily: "What do you want!"
Jiang Jun raised his eyebrows: "I was just saying it casually, why are you so angry?"
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense.
Ye Qingyin looked at the two girls who were arguing with each other and spoke to smooth things over for Mo Xiaohui: "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Mo Xiaohui wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "Aunt Ye, it's all my fault. If I hadn't accidentally soiled Jiang Yun, she wouldn't be angry with me in front of you."
This kind of words may sound self-blaming, but in fact they are slandering the other person.
Jiang Jun rolled his eyes in disdain. What do you mean by "dirty Jiang Jun"? Who are you insulting? You can deliberately fall in front of your elders, so why can't I defend myself?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jun rolled up his trouser legs to show Ye Qingyin his lump. He couldn't let this be in vain, so he had to make a big fuss about it so that he could feel relieved.
"Auntie Ye, do you have any ointment or oil I can apply? It hurts so much! When I changed my clothes just now, it wasn't swollen this bad! Will it leave a scar? It won't look good in a summer skirt!"
Ye Qingyin took a look and gasped: "Ouch, why is it knocked so hard?"
Jiang Jun wrinkled his nose and said, "Luckily it's a metal bucket with a shallow bottom. If the hoe had hit me, my leg would have been broken. I don't even dare to use any strength right now. I wonder if I've broken any bones?"
Ye Qingyin was ill all year round. She only had experience with heart disease, headaches, fever, back pain, and leg pain. She didn't understand anything about broken bones or other things. Most importantly, Ye Qingyin didn't want Mo Xiaohui and Jiang Jun to become irreconcilable in front of her. She just wanted to keep things quiet. "Jiang, how about having Sister Liu accompany you to the hospital and take an X-ray?"
Mo Xiaohui turned around and said, "Aunt Ye, Jing will be home soon. Let Aunt Liu cook at home. Jing loves Aunt Liu's cooking. I'll accompany Jiang Jun to the hospital."
Jiang Jun waved his hand and refused: "In the yard, you helped me carry a bucket and you smashed my leg like this. If you accompany me to the hospital, do I still have a chance of coming back alive?"
Such a fake person, who turns around and acts as if he has put aside personal grudges, and changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. I'm afraid that he will change his attitude again as soon as he leaves the Chen family's courtyard!
Mo Xiaohui's face turned pale. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I'm going to the hospital with you now because I want to make amends."
Ye Qingyin also said: "Jiang, there is no one else at home. Jing will be back soon, and I have to wait at home. You can let Xiaohui go with you. Xiaohui is just like my own daughter, she is very kind to people."
Jiang Jun glanced at him and thought, after all, he was still an outsider, so he might as well bring up his relationship with Chen Yuanwu. "Forget it, I'll just bear with it. When Yuanwu calls later, I'll ask him what to do."
She wanted to see, in Ye Qingyin's heart, who was more important, the hypocritical "daughter" or the biological son?
During this period of time, based on the experience of Ye Qingyin teaching her how to observe people's words and expressions and how to gain a foothold in officialdom, it is impossible for Ye Qingyin not to understand and see through Mo Xiaohui's nature.
Ye Qingyin checked her watch. It was almost time for Chen Yuanwu to call back. She wanted to send Jiang Jun away even more. If she really had to stand up and get into trouble over the phone, Wu would definitely not have the energy to think about anything else. "It's okay to ask Wu. He still thinks you should go to the hospital. You've wasted this time. The hospital should be closed! If you go too late, you won't be able to take the film. You'll have to go again tomorrow. It's such a hassle to go back and forth!"
Jiang Jun pursed her lips. "I think Yuanwu's judgment is better than those doctors. Last time I sprained my waist, he gave me a massage and he knew exactly where to press."
Of course she knew whether her leg was broken or not, but she just wanted to exaggerate in front of Ye Qingyin and scare Mo Xiaohui.
