A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 24

Zhou Tao single-handedly lifted Zhang Xiuhong up. Looking at his troublemaking wife, he was filled with frustration.

Ever since he married this shrew, he hadn’t had a peaceful day.

It was bad enough that she caused trouble at home, but now she was doing it in the residential compound, wrestling on the ground with someone. She had completely embarrassed him.

What was most infuriating was that she had fought his superior’s wife.

This is a disaster!!!

Chen Wenzhong followed close behind. Seeing that his wife, Yang Qiuxia, had hair like a bird’s nest and a scratched face, he was so angry he puffed out his cheeks.

He was the regiment commander of the First Regiment. What kind of scene was it when his wife and a subordinate’s wife were fighting?

“This is the residential compound! If you want to practice fighting, go to the training ground! I’ll let you fight all you want!” Chen Wenzhong roared.

He was a rough man. Whether it was with his family or his wife, he always used the military camp approach.

Yang Qiuxia’s heart trembled at his roar. She had been sitting on the ground for a long time, and Chen Wenzhong hadn’t even offered to help her up. She cried even more sorrowfully.

“Your wife got beaten up, and you’re not helping me, you’re yelling at me instead…”

Yang Qiuxia cried, feeling incredibly wronged.

Chen Wenzhong glared at her with his big eyes. “Stop being so dramatic! I know you. Get up now and stop making a fool of yourself…”

Yang Qiuxia had no choice but to stand up and stand behind Chen Wenzhong.

Shen Sisi remained in Gu Chengfeng’s arms, looking at the two men.

Zhou Tao had a delicate appearance. He was tall and thin like a walking bamboo pole and seemed to have a good temper. He must have been taken advantage of by Zhang Xiuhong many times.

Chen Wenzhong, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He was big and strong, and his skin was very dark. It was clear he had a short fuse, was very straightforward, and was a chauvinist.

One couldn’t control his wife, and the other couldn’t outsmart his wife.

No wonder Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia dared to walk around the compound with their heads high, stirring up trouble everywhere.

“Now, tell me, what happened?” Chen Wenzhong asked with a composed voice.

Zhang Xiuhong was about to speak when Yang Qiuxia beat her to it. “It was her! She told me that Comrade Shen had found a lover outside. I just talked to her about it for a bit, and I didn’t expect Comrade Shen to hear it… and she started hitting us.”

The more she spoke, the more guilty her tone became.

Zhang Xiuhong’s emotions immediately collapsed, and she jumped up, ready to tear her apart.

“Nonsense! Do you want me to rip your mouth off…”

Zhou Tao quickly hugged his wife by the waist and pulled her back to the ground. “Enough! Zhang Xiuhong, are you done or not…”

Zhang Xiuhong was so shocked by his roar that she froze in place. “You… you actually yelled at me…”

“I should have yelled at you a long time ago. I’ve spoiled you so much that you’ve become lawless. How dare you hit a leader’s family member?”

“I…” Zhang Xiuhong’s eyes instantly turned red. “Zhou Tao, she’s the one who framed me and bullied me! How can you side with her? Are you even a man…”

“What did you say? Say that again?” Zhou Tao was completely enraged.

He had messed up at the camp today and had been called out by Commander Chen to be reprimanded. Now, his wife was scolding him in public. He was just looking for a place to vent his anger!

Zhang Xiuhong felt her husband’s angry glare and suddenly felt intimidated.

“You… what are you looking at? I’ll deal with you when we get home…”

Zhang Xiuhong turned her head and spat at Yang Qiuxia. “I treated you like a sister, but this is how you harm me? From today on, I, Zhang Xiuhong, will be your mortal enemy!”

Yang Qiuxia bit her lip with hatred. “Fine! From now on, it’s either you or me.”

Everyone was completely surprised that the two women, who had been so close, had now become bitter enemies.

Everyone except Shen Sisi…

The moment she deliberately made the accusation, she knew they would turn on each other like dogs.

To save themselves, they would inevitably throw each other under the bus, turning from “comrades” into “enemies.”

With things turning out this way, Chen Wenzhong was also in a difficult position.

On one side was his own wife, and on the other was a subordinate’s wife. It wouldn’t be right to side with the reasonable party or his own family. If word got out, people would think the First Regiment wasn’t united enough.

So he furrowed his brow and looked at the woman in Gu Chengfeng’s arms. “Comrade Shen, you tell me. What exactly happened?”

Being called out by name, Shen Sisi stood up from Gu Chengfeng’s embrace and calmly straightened her thin shirt.

“The situation is as follows…” Shen Sisi methodically recounted what had happened, not missing a single detail.

At the end, she choked up. “Commander Chen, what Yang Qiuxia and Zhang Xiuhong did was not just fabricating rumors. I suggest you investigate thoroughly.”

Chen Wenzhong was so angry that he was trembling. His old face was burning with shame. He never thought his wife could say such malicious things.

Saying that someone had found a lover outside… wasn’t that forcing someone to their death?

Zhou Tao, who was standing on the side, was also ashamed and furious. He knew that Zhang Xiuhong had a big mouth and always caused trouble, but he never thought the nature of her actions was this vile.

No wonder Comrade Shen fought back. If it were him, he would have probably hit them even harder.

During this time, Gu Chengfeng didn’t say a word. His face became darker and darker, and the coldness and malevolence on his face were palpable.

Before Chen Wenzhong could speak, Gu Chengfeng’s voice was low and hoarse. “I trust Sisi. She would never do anything to betray me.”

“But this matter has damaged her reputation and also involves a security issue. It must be investigated to give us a fair outcome.”

He knew that the “lover” they were talking about was Heizi, but he was in no hurry to clarify. Instead, he deliberately let Chen Wenzhong send people to investigate.

After all, he was Shen Sisi’s fiancé. If he revealed Heizi’s identity, it would be difficult to silence the rumors.

People might say that he was deliberately covering for her.

It was better to let others investigate to prove Shen Sisi’s innocence.

Moreover, this would teach these people a lesson!

How dare they fabricate rumors and bully my people at will?

Since Gu Chengfeng had spoken, Chen Wenzhong could only wave his hand and call over the guard next to him.

“You take some people and go to the pier to look for a bald man in his twenties with half of his left ear missing. Find out what he’s up to.”

The guard saluted. “Understood!”

Seeing that they were getting serious, Yang Qiuxia shot a vicious glare at Shen Sisi.

It’s all her!

This troublemaker!

She was so nervous that she was sweating cold, afraid that the bald man was some kind of person with a bad background, which would bring disaster to them and even implicate her husband, old Chen.

In a moment of desperation, she walked over to Shen Sisi and lowered her head, admitting her mistake. “I’m sorry, Comrade Shen. We were wrong about this. We shouldn’t have talked about you behind your back. I really haven’t seen that man, so how about we just let this go?”

“Let it go?” Shen Sisi’s dark eyes were covered with a layer of frost. “For you, it was just a matter of moving your lips. But what about me? Who is going to say ‘let it go’ for all the verbal abuse and insults I’ve suffered?”

Yang Qiuxia wiped her eyes with a false gesture. “I understand. Blame it on Zhang Xiuhong. I just believed her nonsense.”

She cleared herself with a single sentence.

Zhang Xiuhong’s face was flushed with anger. Just as she was about to shout, Zhou Tao pulled her back forcefully.

He warned her in a low voice, “That’s enough! I know what kind of person you are. Haven’t you caused enough trouble?”

“It’s one thing to gossip usually, but now you’re going too far. You’re even fabricating rumors about people. How did I, Zhou Tao, end up with a wife like you?”

“If you want to keep living like this, go apologize to Comrade Shen. If you don’t, then let’s go. We’ll file for a divorce tomorrow!”
