After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man about 1.8 meters tall standing at the entrance of the alley. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was wearing a dark green military uniform, and he looked tall and steady.

It was Lu Jingzhe, the second son of the Lu family who had not returned for four years.

After Lu Jingzhe rescued the people and left, he went to the department store, bought some things, and changed his wet clothes before going home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw the woman he had just rescued from the river. He didn't expect that she was his wife Xia Qingning, whom he hadn't seen for four years.

When he realized that she was Xia Qingning, he was quite surprised.

His memory of Xia Qingning still stayed at four years ago. At that time, she was short and thin, with a sallow complexion and sparse hair. She always walked with her head down and was lifeless. She was nothing like the fair and pretty woman in front of him.

He was indeed resentful and angry towards this woman who had climbed into his bed, forced him to marry her, and made him unable to raise his head in front of his brother. But when he saw her being surrounded by a group of people and questioned, with her head down and looking aggrieved, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Lu Jingzhe walked up to Xia Qingning, turned to look at Zhao Cuilan, and said with a cold face:

"The clothes are mine!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pulled Xia Qingning's right hand, and continued:

"A button is missing here."

After saying that, she let down her rolled-up sleeves. Everyone looked over and saw that there was indeed a button missing from the cuff of her clothes.

Under everyone's gaze, he raised his hand and took out a button from the pocket of the clothes Xia Qingning was wearing. It was the button that had fallen off his cuff.

Xia Qingning looked at Lu Jingzhe and knew that if he just said that the clothes were his without producing any substantial evidence, people would inevitably think that he was covering up for her. Now that he had evidence and reason, the matter couldn't be clearer.

"Do you know what crime it is to spread rumors and slander the innocence of a soldier's family?" Lu Jingzhe looked at Zhao Cuilan with a cold gaze and said in a calm voice:

"If you don't know, I can take you to the police station to ask now."

Because he had been in a disciplined army for a long time, Lu Jingzhe had a dignified military demeanor. Now that he was asking questions in such a cold tone, a strong sense of oppression came over him.

After hearing this, Zhao Cuilan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she no longer had the aggressive spirit she had just now.

She didn't expect Lu Jingzhe to come back suddenly, and she didn't expect that the clothes were really his. When she heard that he was going to take her to the police station, she suddenly became at a loss.

Even if she looked down on Xia Qingning in her heart, the fact that she was a military family member was indisputable.

"That's not what I meant. It was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Zhao Cuilan reacted and immediately apologized with a smile. Then she turned to look at Xia Qingning and tried to make amends for herself:

"Qing Ning, you are such a fool. The clothes belong to your man. Why should you be embarrassed? Look at the misunderstanding that has happened."

Xia Qingning looked at her coldly. Haha, it turned out that people always pick on the weak. Even at this time, she still didn't forget to blame herself.

At this moment, the door of the Lu family suddenly opened, and then a woman with short hair cut to the ears and well-dressed came out. The woman bent down and looked at the crowd, and then said in an extremely happy voice:

"Oh, Jingzhe is back." Then he shouted to the house:

"Xiaoxue, come out quickly, your second brother is back." After shouting, he walked towards the crowd.

Xia Qingning looked at the smiling woman and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This is exactly Lu Baichuan's scheming and opportunistic ex-wife Wang Mingfang.

After Wang Mingfang and Lu Baichuan divorced, she married a director of the Revolutionary Committee. She lived a good life and gave birth to a daughter.

But not long after, her husband was reported by his subordinates for saying the wrong thing. During the investigation, he was dismissed from his post and suddenly died in an accident. From then on, the family's life fell into decline.

After Lu Jingzhe's mother Su Hui died, she began to think about remarrying Lu Baichuan.

Wang Mingfang is a person who is good at observing people's words and expressions and assessing the situation. She knows that Lu Baichuan has a knot in his heart and will definitely not remarry her easily, so she adopts a roundabout tactic.

She first tried every means to recognize her abandoned son Lu Lidong, and then moved into the Lu family in the name of taking care of her granddaughter.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a rare good ex-wife. Not only does she work hard for the entire Lu family, she also takes the initiative to take care of her ex-husband's youngest daughter, Lu Xiaoxue. Most importantly, she is very good to the child. The delicious food at home is always given to her, and she almost always meets her requests. She is even closer to the child than her own mother.

Only Xia Qingning knew that Wang Mingfang's kindness and magnanimity were all pretended to be for show to others, and the original owner's tragic fate was almost entirely caused by her.

In order to get her daughter He Shanshan into the state-owned factory, she tricked the original body into the bed of the workshop director, which earned He Shanshan a good job that everyone envied. Later, when she learned that the original body was pregnant, she instigated the original body to join the army and arranged for her niece to take care of her. In fact, she took the opportunity to seduce Lu Jingzhe, and after squeezing the last bit of value out of the original body, she told the truth about the child's life experience, forcing the original owner to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.

Her kindness to Lu Xiaoxue was entirely for the purpose of establishing herself as a good ex-wife. Under her doting, Lu Xiaoxue was spoiled. She was competitive, selfish, and hung out with a group of hooligans since she was a child. She got pregnant before she was seventeen and eventually died of dystocia.

It can be said that Wang Mingfang is a snake wearing a mask of hypocrisy, and a highly poisonous one at that.

Just like when Zhao Cuilan humiliated Xia Qingning in front of everyone just now, she clearly heard it, but closed the door tightly and pretended that she knew nothing. This way she didn't offend Zhao Cuilan, and she didn't have to get the bad reputation of not speaking up for the younger generation.

What a good person!

Under Xia Qingning's disgusted gaze, Wang Mingfang had already walked up to the few people.

Zhao Cuilan saw Wang Mingfang as if she had seen a life-saving straw, and hurriedly explained:

"Aunt Mingfang, you're here. I just wanted to play a joke on Qing Ning, but I didn't expect these young people to take it seriously and even said they wanted to go to the police station. You are the most reasonable one, please help me persuade them."

"Are you kidding? Are you kidding about someone else's reputation?" Without waiting for Wang Mingfang to speak, Lu Jingzhe asked back harshly, obviously having no intention of settling the matter peacefully.

"Zhao Cuilan, listen to what nonsense you are saying. You are also a woman. Is your reputation something to joke about?" Li Qiulian, the women's director at the side, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

"No, no." Zhao Cuilan waved her hands repeatedly: "That's not what I meant." She didn't know how to explain for a moment, so she could only look at Wang Mingfang for help.

As long as her own interests were not affected, Wang Mingfang would always be a good person. She looked at Lu Jingzhe with a smile and said:

"Jingzhe, we are all neighbors. I don't think your Aunt Cuilan has any ill intentions. She just said it without meaning it." After saying that, he turned to look at Xia Qingning and said soothingly:

"Our Qing Ning is the most sensible one. She won't argue with your Aunt Cui Lan over such a small matter, right?"

According to her original personality, after hearing what Wang Mingfang said, she would just swallow her anger and say yes. But the person standing here is not her original self. She, Xia Qingning, will not suffer this injustice, nor will she let Wang Mingfang stand and play the good guy.

Xia Qingning raised her head, looked at Wang Mingfang, and said with a wronged look:

"Do I deserve to be wronged just because I'm sensible? If she wasn't talking about me today, but your own daughter He Shanshan, would you still think it's a small matter and be generous enough to not care about it?"

Who can’t pretend?
