The overly clear analysis and revelation had left everyone around in shock. Who in the unit didn’t know that Commander Yi had the utmost regard for Lu Zheng? He truly valued talent! What a perfect explanation!
There was also the possibility that Commander Yi hoped Lu Zheng would treat Yi Xuecha better, after all, she was his own daughter. However, no one could have anticipated this outcome; it was beyond anyone's expectations. Especially for Lu Zheng!
Inside, he was a stormy sea of emotions, gazing into Commander Yi’s eyes that were cold and indifferent. Yet beneath that exterior lay a hidden bitterness. Those who knew the truth around them couldn’t help but sigh in sympathy. They remarked that this matter shouldn’t have involved Yi Xuecha’s brother at all.
Even if Lu Zheng had been involved, it was merely based on some rumors; how could it have escalated to this point? Even if Lu Zheng wasn’t available, there would be other candidates; it shouldn’t have come down to Yi Xuecha’s brother. But who could have imagined that this was all orchestrated by Commander Yi? Were they trying to doom everyone?
Yi Xuecha’s mother kicked her fiercely, gritting her teeth in rage as she tugged at her hair, forcing her to look up. “Are you trying to kill us all? If you want to die, then go ahead, but don’t drag us down with you!” She watched as Yi Xuecha’s eyes grew colder and angrier.
She regretted bringing this daughter back; she should have thrown her away or found another place for her to marry off. It wouldn’t have come to this if she had done so. She truly regretted causing trouble for Wen Qian because of this ungrateful child.
Heh, heh.
Yi Xuecha no longer cared; she looked disdainfully at her biological mother. “What are you pretending for? Don’t think I don’t know your true self. You act like you love me in front of me, but haven’t you already sold me off?”
When Yi Xuecha was first rescued by Commander Yi, she had felt grateful towards her biological parents. Although she hated them, there was still gratitude in her heart for saving her. However, one night while she was in the bathroom, passing by Commander Yi and his wife’s door, she overheard their conversation.
Since it was late at night, they assumed Yi Xuecha was already asleep and spoke freely; their voices were clear from outside the door. She stood there listening to their scheming words.
Her body gradually grew cold.
It became stiff!
A sense of disbelief erupted in her eyes!
She was so astonished that she couldn't find her voice, even her breathing was cautious.
Are you really planning to let Yi Xuecha stay here? Have you thought about how our whole family will manage to sleep?
She has returned, and the eldest daughter-in-law has been complaining to me non-stop; my eldest grandson can't even sleep soundly.
We need to find someone to marry her off quickly. With everything that has happened, it's just embarrassing to think about it. And yet, you brought her back—what were you thinking?
Yi Xuecha's mother spoke with an unmistakable tone of disdain, unable to hold back her complaints.
Let me tell you, our eldest grandson and son cannot be wronged. Yi Xuecha is still a girl; we should marry her off as soon as possible and not let her embarrass us here. I’m afraid to go out now, fearing others will ask about her.
After a moment of contemplation, Captain Yi's calm voice came through, making it easy for Yi Xuecha to guess he agreed with those sentiments.
It’s still too early; if we marry her off now, others will be suspicious. Let's wait and see if she can find someone in the army; if not, we’ll do as you say.
Anger and sadness flooded her mind.
Hearing noises from the next room, she dragged herself back to her own room.
Sitting on the bed, she turned off the light!
She had long forgotten why she had come out earlier and couldn’t remember how she returned to her room.
Was everything a lie?
Lying on the bed, she stared up at the ceiling with wide eyes.
So, all this time they had been pretending?
Were their kindnesses just an act?
Her mother’s tearful embrace when she returned—was that all just for show? Was the water in her eyes pre-filled?
She didn’t care about others’ opinions; what she never expected was that the people closest to her held the same thoughts and attitudes towards her.
She hadn’t acted recklessly!
She chose to pursue closeness with Lu Zheng so that Captain Yi and his wife would believe she still had value and wouldn’t easily sell her off!
Yet, the choice she made was right.
However, from initial gratitude, it slowly transformed into genuine affection.
She couldn’t let go; she couldn’t forget Lu Zheng!
Thus, she had to win him over!
She slowly began to gather evidence of the mistakes made by the Team Leader and some of his questionable actions. She was just waiting for the right moment to confront them or to use the evidence and threats against them.
Yixuecha scoffed at the hypocritical expressions on the faces of the Team Leader and his wife, proudly declaring, "I've reported everything you've done to the higher-ups. You won't be getting away today."
"You... you... Yixuecha, are you trying to kill me?" The Team Leader glared at her through gritted teeth.
Yixuecha wore a triumphant and blissful expression; she felt that this was the most authentic and true version of herself. Now, she was truly Yixuecha, not a sycophant who had to bow and scrape to please others.
She turned to look at Lu Zheng, her eyes sparkling with laughter, even though her face was swollen and bruised, her hair disheveled from being yanked by Yixuecha's mother. But at this moment, her eyes shone brightly.
"Lu Zheng, did you really think that your beloved Team Leader came to you to wrap up his military career perfectly?" Her smile grew even brighter. "Let me tell you, he’s here for one last chance to take credit. Otherwise, why would he choose these last two days?"
She feigned surprise for a moment before quickly breaking into a grin, like a cat that had just stolen a fish or a detective who had uncovered the truth. "This injury was also intentional; he just miscalculated how badly he would get hurt."
"What good does ruining me do for you? Yixuecha, I’m your father! Are you not afraid that if you keep this up, I won’t support you anymore and let you self-destruct?" The Team Leader nearly spat out the words, his sunken eyes fixed on her.
Yixuecha shook her head with a laugh, completely unconcerned about the strange looks from those around her. At that moment, she resembled a madwoman—laughing, shouting, filled with pride and provocation.
"I'm not afraid!" she declared. "What do I have to fear? Am I supposed to be scared of being sold out by you? Do I even have a future left?"
Her mood darkened as her voice dropped low; she began to mutter to herself: "I have no future left; what more is there to think about? I'm not afraid of anything. If you won't let me live well, then don’t expect to live well either."
Her gaze turned fierce as she looked at the car parked nearby, determination flashing in her eyes!
