Hearing that Zuo Jingyan was going to find the chief Zhang Tie, he was anxious. If he really went to the chief, no matter whether his wife had said those words or not, it would not have a good impact on him. He hurriedly called Lu Haoting:

"Lao Lu, take care of your wife. Don't go to the chief for everything. It will have a bad impact on both of us."

Lu Haoting stopped and looked back at him with a deep voice:

“What repercussions are you afraid of if you act openly?”

Zhang Tie:...Is this an insinuation of what he is doing behind his back?

What Lu Haoting said next made him even more embarrassed:

"In the military competition the day after tomorrow, I hope Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang can beat me with his own ability."

Zhang Tie eagerly wanted to explain:

"Lao Lu, have you misunderstood me?"

However, Lu Haoting refused to listen and strode towards the door of Jiang Xueying's house. He was tall and looked over the crowd to see Li Aimei blocking Zuo Jingyan in panic.

Zhang Tie also saw his wife's panic, and he said to Lu Haoting awkwardly:

"Women like to gossip among themselves, but your sister-in-law just has a bad tongue."

Lu Haoting's voice was calm:

"Old Zhang, you are very good at avoiding the important and taking the easy."

He turned a blind eye to Li Aimei's obvious panic. He didn't have anything to worry about. Why should he be panicking?

On the contrary, Zuo Jingyan's eyes were open and clear, and she could tell who was who and who was wrong at a glance.

He stopped and wanted to see what Zuo Jingyan would do next? Will she still cry and make trouble like before?

"Lao Lu, you really misunderstood. My wife just has a bad mouth. She has no bad intentions."

Zhang Tie was so anxious that his mouth went dry. They were all members of the same leadership team, so don't let women's affairs affect their relationship.

Lu Haoting looked at him coldly and stopped making any response, with a chill all over him. Zhang Tie sighed, Lao Lu was really angry.

No one noticed that they were coming. Zuo Jingyan and Li Aimei were at war with each other in the crowd.

Zuo Jingyan actually deceived Li Aimei. She couldn't find anyone to testify. They were the only two people when Li Aimei said those words to the original owner.

What she was betting on was that Li Aimei had a guilty conscience, and it was enough to let everyone know that she was instigated for all her previous actions, which would clear her name.

Li Aimei tried her best to recall when she and Zuo Jingyan said these words. Remembering that she went to Zuo Jingyan's house to say those words, she widened her eyes and shouted:

"That's not right, that's not right..."

Zuo Jingyan raised her eyes and looked at her, with a mocking smile hidden in her clear water eyes. Li Aimei was shocked by Zuo Jingyan's gaze. What if there was someone else in the room that day?

"Forget it, don't bring trouble to the chief and discredit your man."

Sister-in-law Zhang came out to settle the matter. Her husband was a company commander under Zhang Tie, so she was afraid that her husband would not get along with Zhang Tie in the future if she did not help Li Aimei speak up.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Aimei's guilty conscience, she must have said those words.

"Yes, we live in the same compound. We can't see each other when we look down. Let's forget it and go home to cook."

Qu Yanling's natal sister-in-law worked in Li Aimei's father's factory. Seeing that the matter was about to get serious, she stepped forward to persuade Zuo Jingyan.

"Okay, sister-in-law, since you have spoken, I will give you face and forget about it."

Zuo Jingyan quit when she saw the opportunity. Her goal has been achieved. Don't pursue the enemy to avoid further trouble.

She didn't care, but she was afraid of affecting Lu Haoting. Even if she was right, the chief would think that it was because Lu Haoting and Zhang Tie were competing for promotion that the two military wives were at odds with each other.

Li Aimei didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so someone asked her to step down quickly:

"I'm giving you face, and I won't pursue this matter anymore. Anyway, as time goes by, people's hearts will be revealed, and sooner or later, everyone will see clearly whether he is a human being or a ghost."

After she regained her place, she was afraid that Zuo Jingyan would get angry again, so she greased her feet and ran very fast.

Li Ling spit on the ground:

"Look how guilty she is."

Zuo Jingyan smiled and expressed her gratitude to her sisters-in-law who helped her:

"Thank you sisters-in-law for upholding justice for me today. I'll treat you all to dumplings another day."

Li Ling laughed and teased Zuo Jingyan:

"No, no, just don't come to our house to eat."

Zuo Jingyan smiled and shook her head, her voice clear and sweet:

"No, I used to be taken advantage of by others when I was young and ignorant. Now I see her face clearly, and I won't do anything asshole again."

Lu Haoting frowned slightly. Zuo Jingyan was so generous and could handle such complicated matters with ease. The military wives who complained to him yesterday actually became friends with her?

Zuo Jingyan like this made him feel strange, as if she was a different person?

Jiang Xueying came out of the house with the cleaned empty bowl and handed it back to Zuo Jingyan, saying to her in a friendly tone:

"Jingyan, the dumplings are delicious, thank you!"

"As long as my sister-in-law likes to eat it, I'll pack it up and deliver it another day."

Zuo Jingyan was polite to her, and exchanged a few words with the other military wives, talking and laughing with them and instantly getting closer.

Li Aimei's game did help her. I don't say her reputation can be reversed immediately, but at least it is better than the past when she was like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted at her to beat her.

She won't live in this compound for long, but she doesn't want to leave with a bad reputation.

Zuo Jingyan said goodbye to her sisters-in-law and went home. When she entered the courtyard, she felt something was wrong. When she left, the courtyard door was ajar. She thought she would come back after delivering the dumplings, but now the courtyard doors are closed together.

Zuo Jingyan raised her eyebrows. Could it be that her cheap husband came back to trouble her after listening to someone's complaint?

No matter what, you have to face it. Zuo Jingyan reached out and pushed open the courtyard door and entered the courtyard and closed the door. Lu Haoting in the room heard the sound of the courtyard door closing and glanced out of the window.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body, and the face that once disgusted him was coated with a layer of red light. She seemed to have stepped out of the light, with a pair of eyes as clear as water and a calm temperament.

Zuo Jingyan felt a gaze that could not be ignored. She raised her head and looked into the window. Their eyes met in the air.

Lu Haoting's eyes were deep as if he was studying her? Zuo Jingyan felt a pressure. This kind of person is unfathomable. It seems that nothing can be hidden from him?

She took a deep breath. She was about to get divorced anyway, and she could get away with it in a few days.

Lu Haoting frowned. Her eyes dodged for a moment just now. What was she afraid of?

Thinking of what she said today, Lu Haoting felt complicated.

A little girl from the countryside was taken advantage of by someone who had no experience in the world, but apart from the things that Li Aimei used to do, her previous actions were also intolerable to him.

After only a moment of hesitation, Lu Haoting was determined. He could not be soft-hearted and could not stay with such a woman for the rest of his life. The long-term pain would be worse than the short-term pain.

When Zuo Jingyan entered the room, she saw Lu Haoting standing in front of the window looking at her. The firmness in his eyes seemed to indicate that he had made some important decision.

Zuo Jingyan pretended not to see it. She had to fulfill her duties as a wife despite her daughter-in-law's body, so she said to him:

"I'm back. I'm making dumplings tonight. Do you want to stay and eat them?"
