Ge Qiutang was startled by the roar. Without looking, she knew it was Qiao Shaoguo.
She inwardly cursed. Which vexing fool ruined my perfect plan?
She had always wanted to cause trouble for Ji Rongjia but never found the right opportunity. Now that she finally had a chance, it was interrupted, leaving her face full of resentment.
Seeing Chief Qiao squeeze in, she knew she couldnāt continue. However, she still played the victim first, saying, "Chief Qiao, you have to stand up for me.
This Doctor Ji, even when sheās just applying medicine to my husband, sheās flirting with him! Isnāt she trying to seduce my Changxuan into making a mistake?"
Ji Rongjia, her face full of defiance, retorted, "Stop spouting nonsense at me."
Song Changxuan, the team leader, endured the pain in his leg and also bellowed, "Ge Qiutang, you shut your mouth!"
They both spoke at the same time.
This made Ge Qiutang even more furious. "Song Changxuan, what do you mean by this? Are you saying Iām blind?
At a time like this, you yell at me for an outsider! Fine, just fine! I know you look down on me. But the person married to you right now is me! The one who bore your children and raised them is me!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rongjiaās expression turned extremely ugly. "Youāre truly going too far!"
After saying that, she ran out crying.
Veins bulged on Song Changxuanās forehead in frustration. "Ge Qiutang, are you trying to drive everyone to their death?"
Ge Qiutang paid no mind to what he said. "Iām just telling the truth. Her presence threatens my family. If sheās as innocent as you claim, why didnāt she leave when they tried to transfer her to another regiment last time?
Whenever she saw him, she would say ambiguous things. He wasnāt unaware of her intentions. He had warned her many times and had also done his best to keep his distance.
But her refusal to leave was a thorn in Ge Qiutangās side.
Yet, he couldnāt bring himself to force her to leave; after all, he had wronged Ji Rongjia in the past.
He sighed inwardly. Life is distressing, but Ge Qiutang is also a victim. Perhaps she was very willing to marry me, so even knowing I had a fiancĆ©e, she didnāt refuse those peopleās suggestions back then.
Suppressing his irritation, he softened his voice, "Qiutang, can you stop making a scene, please?"
Seeing him relent, Ge Qiutang decided to back down now that she had the upper hand. That vixen Ji had already been chased off by her anger. No matter how upset she still felt, her husband was injured. "Song Changxuan, seeing as youāre injured, I wonāt stoop to her level this time. But if she dares to seduce you with those eyes again, donāt blame me for tearing her apart."
Even though she was retreating for now, she wouldnāt let that woman surnamed Ji off easily.
