Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 23 Wang Cuicui Causes Trouble in the Cafeteria
Admitting she cheated?
That's quite a novel statement. Ji Sisi rolled her eyes at Wang Cuicui. "You can't just say things like that, sister-in-law. Making things up without evidence is spreading rumors and slander, which can lead to criminal charges."

Wang Cuicui is really making a mess of things. It's been a whole day. Isn't she tired?
She's not tired, but Ji Sisi is tired of arguing.

Qi Yan was queuing at a different window, and when he got his food and went to find Ji Sisi, he happened to witness this scene.

“Sister-in-law, Sisi did nothing to betray me. Sister-in-law Hongying also told me about what happened this morning. It’s not what you’re saying at all. What’s your motive for exaggerating and trying to sow discord between Sisi and me today?”

This was the first time the research institute had encountered such an open argument.

Everyone stopped eating and listened intently, eager to see who would win.

"Director Qi, I'm doing this for your own good. Li Hongying is in cahoots with her. What kind of good person could she be? Do you really believe what she says?"

Qi Yan sat down with his lunchbox, not even glancing at Wang Cuicui. His tone was cold. "Slandering my fiancée and publicly humiliating me for being cheated on, sister-in-law, are you really doing this for my own good? I think we could add defaming a military wife to the list of defamation charges. If you're not afraid, you can continue."

Wang Cuicui's eyes widened, but she dared not speak out in anger, while she was carrying a basket of firewood on her back.

Ji Sisi found Wang Cuicui's embarrassed look hilarious; she hadn't expected this man to be so good at roasting people!
Zhang Qianjin had already reached the door when his colleagues told him that Wang Cuicui and Qi Yan were arguing. They whispered a reminder as they left.

"Old Zhang, you'd better do something about your wife. If you keep talking like this, you'll never get ahead in your life."

Zhang Qianjin clenched his fists in anger, then turned back and grabbed Wang Cuicui's wrist, forcefully dragging her away.

"You're not allowed to eat in the cafeteria anymore, you're a disgrace!"

Wang Cuicui was unwilling to accept it. "I... how could I have imagined that Director Qi had become so confused? My words were clearly the truth!"

Zhang Qianjin, unable to bear it any longer, roared loudly.

"Yes, you're the only one who's not confused, you're the most clear-headed. Then why didn't you say you wanted to go back earlier? Can't you tone down your fiery temper all day long?"

Wang Cuicui was stunned into standing still after being yelled at.

"You...you dare yell at me?"

"What's wrong with me yelling at you? Ever since you came here, you've caused me no end of trouble. You're always rushing to introduce potential partners to my single colleagues. What, are you trying to turn our research institute into your village? You'd better write a letter to your cousins, your other cousins, and even your divorced cousins ​​with kids, and tell them not to even think about marrying into this place. You're already causing enough chaos!"

In a fit of anger, Zhang Qianjin unleashed all the pent-up frustration in his heart.

"Zhang Qianjin, what kind of lousy man are you? Your wife has been being verbally abused for so long, and you haven't said a word. You even grabbed me and tried to leave. What, are you afraid that I'll tell the truth and embarrass your boss?"

"What's wrong with me introducing potential partners to my relatives? My cousin is a teacher, how is she not good enough for your colleague? My older cousin may be divorced, but she has experience in taking care of people, and she has two sons. How many people can have sons and take good care of them?"

Zhang Qianjin was so angered by Wang Cuicui's distorted values ​​that he lost the ability to organize his thoughts.

He raised his finger and pointed it at Wang Cuicui's nose, then lowered it and turned to leave without saying a word.
-
Qi Yan looked up and his gaze fell on Ji Sisi's bowl, where more than half of the rice was still uneaten.

"Why aren't you eating? Did what your sister-in-law said just now affect you?"

Ji Sisi smiled guiltily, "I ate a coarse grain bun when I got back, but I couldn't finish it. I'll take the food back with me later and heat it up for dinner."

In this era of food shortage, it is already a very good condition that the research institute can still eat rice, and no one leaves any leftovers.

Ji Sisi has already etched the words "save food" into her mind.

"You really never doubted me?" Ji Sisi asked Qi Yan tentatively in a low voice.

Qi Yan shook his head, his gaze firm, his handsome eyes fixed on her. "I believe in you, and I believe in myself."

Ji Sisi asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'believe in yourself'?"

Qi Yan chuckled softly, his voice deep and magnetic, a smile spreading across his eyes.

"Trust my face, my intelligence, and... my physique."

Ji Sisi almost spat out the food she hadn't swallowed onto Qi Yan's face. She quickly covered her mouth, her face turning red.

This man, who usually seems so serious and unsmiling, actually has such an arrogant side?
Ji Sisi smiled, raising an eyebrow slightly. "You're right, otherwise why would I risk my life to save you?"

Bystanders commented: "He's barely eaten a few bites, how can he be full already?"
As dusk approached, the setting sun painted the snow-capped mountains red, and the sky itself was also dyed crimson, creating a gradient of colors in the evening glow.

"Because there are very few people with heart problems at the research institute, we don't keep many nitroglycerin tablets. I kept one bottle for myself, and I brought the rest for you. You can carry them with you with you from now on."

Lin Miao took off her white coat and put on the pink floral dress she wore that day.

Ji Sisi didn't seem too surprised by her arrival. She took the medicine from her and said gratefully, "Thank you, Dr. Lin. However, I don't work at the research institute, so I can't take this medicine. Or can I buy it from my workplace?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Miao stared at Ji Sisi with a strange look.

Ji Sisi then realized that she seemed to be thinking about the problem using the mindset of people from later generations.

The benefits of having a secure job now are far better than in later generations. Not only are houses provided, but large state-owned factories may even build kindergartens and establish supply and marketing cooperatives, among many other advantages.

As Qi Yan's family member, she seems to have the right to enjoy medical resources.

Ji Sisi awkwardly tried to cover it up, "I'm sorry, I haven't registered my marriage with Ayan yet, so I'm not family yet. I'm afraid it will affect you."

"You don't need to worry about that. No one dares to cause me trouble. I don't want to end up like you, easily targeted."

Lin Miao is straightforward and outspoken.

"Also, I did like Qi Yan for three years, but since he never liked me, I don't want to continue this one-sided love. Besides, I never take other people's things. You are better looking than me, and you are calm and intelligent. I admit defeat to you."

Lin Miao also heard about Wang Cuicui's disturbance in the cafeteria at noon today.

“If someone were to spread rumors and slander me, I would definitely go to their door and tear their mouth apart. I’m not as tolerant as you, but you were very satisfying to retort. I really like your personality; you’re neither cowardly nor ostentatious. If you’re willing, let’s be friends from now on. You can call me Miaomiao.”

Delivering the medicine was secondary; her real purpose today was to make friends with Ji Sisi.

What do men matter? Having a close female friend is the most important thing!
"Of course! Hongying is the only person I can talk to here. If you'd like to be friends with me, I'd be happy to!"

Ji Sisi extended her hand, smiling happily, "Hello, Miaomiao."

"Hello, Ji Sisi."

The two looked at each other and smiled, a genuine smile of happiness.

Lin Miao sat down and started complaining to Ji Sisi, "It really helped us a lot to get revenge on Wang Cuicui. Not only is she weird-tempered, but she also loves to play matchmaker. She didn't let any of the single men in the compound get away with it."
