Moreover, Fang Xiuzhu's eyes were filled with hatred when she thought of how Bai Yannan had ruined their engagement for Liu Ye, a poor woman.
Fang Xiuzhu pushed the door open and walked into the office. She twisted her soft waist and called out, "Cousin ~"
Fang Xiuzhu's voice was soft and her eyes were red because of Jiujiu. She looked really pitiful.
The moment he heard the door open, Ling Shuo's brows furrowed. Everyone in the military knew that this was a sign that Ling Shuo was angry.
Ling Shuo threw the documents in his hand onto the table. He looked at Fang Xiuzhu with a frown and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Being stared at by Ling Shuo with those deep eyes, Fang Xiuzhu's heart was in her throat, and her crying face froze. Her lips moved, and she bit the bullet and said, "Cousin, I met sister-in-law today."
Ling Shuo's expression softened when he heard that Fang Xiuzhu had met Jiujiu. "What did she do?"
Ling Shuo's original intention was to find out what Jiujiu had done, but in Fang Xiuzhu's ears, it became a sign that Ling Shuo wanted to take revenge for her. Fang Xiuzhu immediately started to pour out her grievances.
"I saw my cousin-in-law at the jewelry store. She had a lot of jewelry in front of her. I kindly advised her not to be so extravagant and wasteful, but she said that I was meddling in other people's business and even spoke rudely. Cousin, you have to help me."
Although Ling Shuo had changed his mind about Jiujiu during this period of time, Fang Xiuzhu knew from Old Madam Ling Shuo had been targeting the Bai Family. Therefore, she did not take Jiujiu seriously. She thought that Ling Shuo's kindness to Jiujiu was just a choice made to numb the Bai Family.
Therefore, Fang Xiuzhu believed that Ling Shuo was on her side.
Fang Xiuzhu thought that if she ruined Jiujiu's reputation in front of Ling Shuo, Ling Shuo would definitely teach Jiujiu a lesson for her.
After all, Ling Shuo was born in the army. What he hated the most was extravagance and waste. Also, Jiujiu, as a woman from the Bai Family, dared to bully a member of the Ling Family. It was simply too much.
Fang Xiuzhu was hoping that Ling Shuo would speak up for her, but she didn't expect that after hearing what she said, not only did Ling Shuo not say that he would help her out, he even glanced at her and said calmly, "That's your sister-in-law."
In other words, it was normal for Jiujiu to lecture her, and she should accept it.
She was waiting happily for Ling Shuo to speak up for her, but when Ling Shuo spoke up, not only did he not speak up for her, but he also made her accept it.
Fang Xiuzhu felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. She could neither spit it out nor swallow it. She felt very uncomfortable.
Ling Shuo ignored Fang Xiuzhu's ugly expression and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back."
How could a woman like Fang Xiuzhu come to a place like the military headquarters?
If a woman could come in, then …
The first face that came to Ling Shuo's mind was Jiujiu's face.
If someone could come in, in Ling Shuo's opinion, it could only be Jiujiu.
Fang Xiuzhu did not get Ling Shuo to help her vent her anger. Instead, she went back to the Ling Family's house in a huff.
Because she was so angry, Fang Xiuzhu did not even have dinner.
At night, Jiujiu washed up and was about to go to bed when she suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
Jiujiu sat up from the bed and looked outside. She saw Ling Shuo.
Ling Shuo seemed to have just come back from the military headquarters. He was wearing a well-ironed suit. The dark yellow wool was stiff and straight. Coupled with Ling Shuo's chiseled face, he looked murderous.
Jiujiu sat up from the bed and asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"
Ling Shuo opened his arms and let the servants take off his clothes. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "Did you see Xiuzhu during the day?"
Jiujiu, who was surprised that Ling Shuo came back at this time, immediately looked cold.
No wonder he came back in the middle of the night. He came back to vent his anger for his cousin.
But it made sense. Although Ling Shuo was interested in her, he could not compare to his cousin who grew up with him.
There was a difference between being close and distant.
Jiujiu nodded and said coldly, "Yes, I saw her. What's wrong?"
Seeing Jiujiu's cold expression when he mentioned Fang Xiuzhu, Ling Shuo's expression became more serious. He continued, "Did you talk about her?"
"She asked me to save money." Speaking of saving money, Jiujiu crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Ling Shuo provocatively. She asked, "Are you going bankrupt? Do you still need to save money? "
"You have a sharp tongue." Ling Shuo, who had changed into soft and comfortable clothes, walked to the bedside. He raised his hand and pinched Jiujiu's cheek. He said intimately, "You have a sharp tongue."
Jiujiu angrily slapped away Ling Shuo's hand that was pinching her cheek, and said angrily, "Your whole family doesn't like me. If my mouth was obedient, I would have been eaten up by you all long ago."
Ling Shuo laughed lightly and said, "Who would dare to eat someone with such a sharp tongue like yours?"
Feeling the intimacy from Ling Shuo, Jiujiu's tense body relaxed. She glared at Ling Shuo and said, "Maybe there is someone who is not afraid of death and wants to eat me. I was sitting at the jewelry store this afternoon, and your cousin came to me to ask for a scolding. Isn't she afraid of death?"
"She's not afraid of death," Ling Shuo looked at Jiujiu and said a series of new words. He felt very refreshed.
Ling Shuo pinched Jiujiu's mouth and said, "I like that."
In Ling Shuo's opinion, Fang Xiuzhu was not afraid of death.
They had already decided to send her to Germany to study, but she had gotten together with Bai Yannan just to prove herself. Today, she had even dared to provoke Jiujiu, the little chili pepper. She was not someone who was not afraid of death.
However.
Ling Shuo warned Jiujiu, "Don't tell the Bai Family about Fang Xiuzhu and Bai Yannan."
Jiujiu knew this even without Ling Shuo's warning. Hearing Ling Shuo's warning, Jiujiu rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "Bai Yannan is asking for it. Why should I tell the Bai Family?"
Maybe if she told the Bai Family that Bai Yannan shamelessly got together with Fang Xiuzhu, the overprotective Madam Bai would think that she was spouting nonsense.
She would not do something that was difficult and unrewarding. Not everyone was as silly as Jiujiu, who would help others count their money after being sold.
Seeing Jiujiu's matter-of-fact expression, Ling Shuo smiled again.
Ling Shuo's face was tough and because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had the aura of a tough man. When he smiled, he was really gentle. It was very moving.
