Jiang Qing was stunned.
'He didn't want to help me, and now he wants me to help him?'
She couldn't believe that Xiao Zheng would say something like that. Could it be that Xiao Zheng doesn't remember who was the one who protected him? 'Without General Jiang's support, would Xiao Zheng have the freedom to live?' 'Would the military court let go of this criminal who killed his comrades?'
Jiang Qing stared at Xiao Zheng in surprise, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. "Today, I finally know what it means to be ungrateful."
Xiao Zheng sneered and didn't argue with Jiang Qing. He opened the door and said, "Help yourself."
After that, he locked the door and strode toward the supermarket. Her good mood for the day was ruined by Jiang Qing.
Faced with Xiao Zheng's sarcastic words, how could Jiang Qing leave so easily? She jumped out of the car and followed Xiao Zheng into the supermarket. She said in an unfriendly tone, "You caused such a big disaster in the 38th Division. If General Jiang didn't vouch for you, do you think you could escape the punishment of the military court?"
Xiao Zheng took the trolley and went straight to the vegetable section. However, he said sarcastically, "He volunteered. No one asked him for help."
"You don't know what's good for you," Jiang Qing said in a low voice. "I thought you were a soldier with blood in your veins. I didn't expect you to be just a short-sighted citizen. "
"I'm just a citizen." Xiao Zheng took a vegetable and said casually. "How can you be compared to the high and mighty Long Formation?"
"I really want to know why you have such a big complaint against General Jiang. Did he do anything wrong to you? "Jiang Qing asked with a frown.
"It's none of your business." Xiao Zheng threw a box of green beans into the trolley and said lightly. "Go where you should go. I don't have the time to entertain you. "
"I want to find out where your sense of superiority comes from. Do you feel that the whole world has wronged you? "Jiang Qing pursed his lips.
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and slowly turned around. "Do you think Jiang Jingzhong is particularly outstanding?"
"At least it's not as bad as you think," Jiang Qing retorted.
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng said indifferently as he stuffed some ingredients into the cart and walked to the drinking area. "Then tell me, why didn't he stand up for his subordinates?"
"Stand out for what?" Jiang Qing asked.
"You only know that I crippled Yan Shang's leg. Did you know that Yan Shang also broke a comrade's leg? "Xiao Zheng questioned.
Hearing this, Jiang Qing frowned and said, "There's such a thing?"
"If you were General Jiang, would you handle it impartially?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"If it's Yan Shang's fault, I won't let it go," Jiang Qing said solemnly.
"But he didn't." Xiao Zheng's eyes were gloomy. "He told me to focus on the competition, win the championship, and enter the special forces to further my training. Don't ruin my future."
Jiang Qing opened his mouth, but in the end, he only said in a gentle tone, "General Jiang is also thinking for your sake. He didn't want you to ruin your own future. "
"What about the comrade who had a broken leg?" Xiao Zheng asked. "Isn't his future a future? Yan Shang had a broken leg, but his family had a lot of money to provide him with a bright future. What about my comrade? He came from the countryside, and his whole family was proud of him. In the end, his leg was broken by a good-for-nothing rich kid. Who cared about his feelings? "
Jiang Qing was taken aback and was speechless.
At this point, if Jiang Qing were to speak up for General Jiang again, it would seem as if officials were to protect each other and be unreasonable. From her point of view, she could understand Xiao Zheng's feelings. His comrade had a broken leg, but the leader refused to say anything. Anyone would feel resentful. No wonder Xiao Zheng broke Yan Shang's leg in a fit of anger during the competition. It seemed like Xiao Zheng was just taking revenge.
"I admit that General Jiang was wrong," Jiang Qing said slowly. "But why do you only see what he did wrong? Why don't you feel grateful and see the effort he put in for you? "
"I said it. No one made him pay, "Xiao Zheng said indifferently. "Sometimes, it's too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost."
Jiang Qing was stunned. Her attitude was not as strict as before. She said gently, "I think General Jiang feels guilty about this."
Xiao Zheng said lightly, "What's the use of feeling guilty? Is there any regret in this world?"
"How can there be absolute fairness in this world?" Jiang Qing asked. "You want everything to be reasonable and legal. Those who are rich and have powerful backgrounds think it's unreasonable. "
"So, I developed the habit of solving problems by myself. Who is trustworthy these days? Who can trust who? "Xiao Zheng sneered. "Even Jiang Jingzhong, who is a good leader and a hero in your eyes, is just a cunning old man who can sacrifice his subordinates to climb up the ranks."
Jiang Qing shook her head. "Who doesn't make mistakes? Who dares to call themselves a saint? Could it be that in your heart, General Jiang is really so worthless? If you really think that way, you probably wouldn't have agreed to our request. "
Xiao Zheng curled his lips and said, "Leave your chicken soup for your subordinates to drink. A ruthless, murderous demon like me can't be saved even if you drink holy water. "
After saying that, Xiao Zheng, who had bought the ingredients, pushed the cart to pay the bill. He left Jiang Qing at the side.
After packing the ingredients, Xiao Zheng left the supermarket with two big bags of food. Jiang Qing also followed behind Xiao Zheng with a serious expression. When Xiao Zheng got in the car, she also got in, seemingly planning to be a follower.
"Did I invite you to get in?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said with a displeased expression. "What, you're determined to follow me?"
Jiang Qing rolled down the window and said calmly, "I have no relatives or friends in Mingzhu. I don't even have dinner. "
"So you're planning to blatantly freeload?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief.
"As you said, we used to be comrades. Is it difficult for you to treat me to a meal? "Jiang Qing asked.
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng didn't hurry to drive. Instead, he took out his wallet from his pocket and counted five hundred yuan bills. Under Jiang Qing's subtle gaze, he handed the bills to Jiang Qing and said with a serious expression, "This 500 yuan is enough for you to eat a sumptuous dinner in any restaurant that isn't too expensive. Now, please get out of the car. I'm going home to prepare dinner. But it's not for you. "
Jiang Qing stared at Xiao Zheng, who was a thousand miles away, dumbfounded. Especially the 500 yuan, it was like a loud slap on Jiang Qing's face. It made her delicate body tremble and her face turn red.
Is he insulting me?
Insulting my character is also insulting my soul!
Do I, Jiang Qing, look like I'm short of money? Or, am I, Jiang Qing, a woman who is greedy for small advantages?
She couldn't imagine that there would be a man in this world who would look down on her so much and use a mere 500 yuan to slap her face.
She really wanted to get out of the car. She didn't want to stay in Xiao Zheng's car for even a second. She didn't even want to meet this infuriating man for the rest of her life.
Jiang Qing's inner thoughts were very rich, especially when she saw Xiao Zheng's disdainful and obviously impatient eyes. She only felt as if she was about to explode.
However, after a brief battle, Jiang Qing, who had never suffered such humiliation, didn't get out of the car. Instead, she closed the door and sat on the chair with a calm face. Her thin lips slightly opened. "I like spicy food."
