I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 115: Two Military Wives Mediate a Fight
Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Two Military Wives Mediate a Fight
"Meddling in other people’s business? Such a feisty girl! Which Military District family do you belong to?" The military wife who had just been slapped by Lu Xiangxiang was now calmly confronting her with a composed demeanor, clearly displaying a long-lasting nobility that was not easily perturbed.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuxiu felt a bit of schadenfreude, suspecting that Lu Xiangxiang had finally messed with someone important. Meanwhile, she approached Xu Jingjing, who was holding Song Chengguang in her arms, put him down, and began straightening Xu Jingjing’s appearance. Although Jingjing hadn’t suffered much, her clothes and hair were messed up by Lu Xiangxiang, "Are you hurt anywhere?" Xu Xiuxiu asked, concerned. She was also feeling a bit regretful for indulging Jingjing. What if she couldn’t handle Lu Xiangxiang and got hurt?
"What business of yours is it to ask which family I belong to? What right do you have to ask about my affairs?" Lu Xiangxiang, always cocky from her upbringing with the backing of the wealthy Zhou Yumin and the Lu family, feared neither heaven nor earth. Clearly, she didn’t take these two military wives seriously at all: "Old hag, better scram if you know what’s good for you, or don’t blame me, Lu Xiangxiang, for being rude!" Lu Xiangxiang cursed, her gaze fiercely fixed on Xu Xiuxiu and Xu Jingjing.
It was all because of this damned woman, Xu Xiuxiu. If not for her, why would she need to go through all this trouble? Song Yuanhuan would have already been her man!
Xu Jingjing, already standing next to Xu Xiuxiu, saw that the two well-meaning older military wives were hit and scolded. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward: "Oh really? It seems I didn’t teach you enough of a lesson just now! You two ladies, please step aside with my sister first, and then watch me beat this shameless woman to a pulp." Xu Jingjing was furious and ready to charge forward.
"Ah! Young girl, why lower yourself to her level?" The military wife who was hit quickly blocked Xu Jingjing’s path, "People like her, you should just ignore. That fuels her temper." The old lady spoke with an experienced tone.
"But she just..." Xu Jingjing glared, somewhat confusedly pointing at Lu Xiangxiang, clearly feeling aggrieved for the old lady who had been hit and scolded just now.
"It’s better to offend a gentleman than a vile person; arguing with her kinds only lowers your own stature." The old lady gently pulled Xu Jingjing’s hand and smiled kindly, "Come with me, I have many ways to deal with her. She thinks she has powerful backing? Don’t worry! I have plenty of support too." The old lady chuckled, her tone quite childish.
"Really?" Xu Jingjing asked, still not assured, "My brother-in-law is a Lieutenant Colonel, and she dares to mess with my sister and covet my brother-in-law. She must be tricky to deal with?" Xu Jingjing was no fool; in her visit to the Military District today, many had treated her older sister respectfully. Only this stupid woman dared to covet her brother-in-law and still acted so arrogantly. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
From what she had said to her sister earlier, it was obvious this woman had powerful connections! Anyway, the fight had already happened, and her sister had agreed, so hitting her a few more times wouldn’t matter now.
"Of course it’s true." The old lady smiled and nodded her head as if saying why would I lie to you.
Xu Jingjing immediately relaxed her attitude.
"Hmph! Bragging without drafting, you old hag, stop trying to scare me with your pretense. I, Lu Xiangxiang, am not easily frightened!" Lu Xiangxiang was not buying any of it, staring disdainfully at the group, her words as unpleasant as ever.
The kind old lady simply shook her head at Lu Xiangxiang, "You must be Zhou Yumin’s granddaughter!" She calmly stated, looking steadily at Lu Xiangxiang.
When Old Lady Lu directly called out her grandfather’s name, Lu Xiangxiang was no longer composed!
"How do you know my grandfather?" Lu Xiangxiang suddenly panicked. The old woman calling her grandfather by name indicated she was no trivial person. At this moment, she began to worry that she had offended someone influential in the military. "Who are you?"
"If you want to know, go back and ask Zhou Yumin. Today, you slapped me, I will settle accounts with Zhou Yumin," said the old lady coldly, her tone unfriendly. Then she turned her head to look at Xu Xiuxiu, who was holding Song Chengguang, "You are the Lieutenant Colonel’s little wife, right?" It sounded like both a question and a statement.
Xu Xiuxiu nodded in response, "I am!" Not many people in the Military District knew her, so how did these two older military wives know her? Xu Xiuxiu was puzzled but did not ask.
"Come, child, follow Old Lady to my home and sit for a while." The old lady took Xu Jingjing’s hand and called Xu Xiuxiu.
"Alright!" Xu Xiuxiu nodded, took Song Chengguang’s hand, and was ready to leave.
"Wait, who exactly are you? Without explaining, you can’t leave," Lu Xiangxiang interjected, blocking their way.
"Young lady, are you sure you want to stop us?" Another old lady stared at Lu Xiangxiang menacingly.
Lu Xiangxiang hesitated, bit her red lips, and reluctantly stepped aside.
" Humph." Seeing this, Xu Jingjing felt a touch of triumph and loudly huffed at Lu Xiangxiang as they were leaving, causing Xu Xiuxiu to laugh and immediately stop the girl.
Xu Jingjing, halted by Xu Xiuxiu, immediately showed guilt, sticking out her tongue slightly. She glanced at the two old ladies walking beside her, then sweetly clung to Xu Xiuxiu’s wrist and shook it.
The Military District area was vast, and the accommodations in Z-city’s Military District were also categorized into many levels. Since Yuanhuan was a Lieutenant Colonel, his residence had specific location and size criteria and was relatively on the outer part. However, deeper into the district, security became stricter and the houses were no longer single-family units but detached villas. Chief Han lived in one of these areas; Xu Xiuxiu had visited once before.
But now, as she chatted with Xu Jingjing and occasionally played with Song Chengguang, she noticed the two old ladies wanted to continue walking even further. Surprisingly, they were heading toward an even more internal area than where Chief Han lived. Those who lived there had distinguished themselves in significant battles; thus, Xu Xiuxiu had no doubt about the old lady’s confident declaration of settling accounts with Zhou Yumin.
If they indeed lived there, these two old ladies were likely relatives of revered veterans. If so, troubling Zhou Yumin would likely be effortless for them! Xu Xiuxiu thought, both amazed and admiring, about the luck of Jingjing, this little girl.
Indeed, fools often have foolish luck! Watching Jingjing chatting happily with Song Chengguang and the two old ladies, Xu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but sincerely praise.
