Chapter 013: Does he still care about you?
Judging from Ren Rongzheng's tone and manner of speaking, Jiang Linhai knew that she still blamed him.
"Rong Zheng, this is all my fault, all my fault. But you know how I feel, I really like you, but my parents..."
Jiang Linhai burst into tears as he spoke, looking extremely distressed.
"You know I'm my parents' only son. If the wife I marry can't have children, then the Jiang family line will end. I really have no other choice. I really want to marry you, Rong Zheng. You know I really love you..."
"Battalion Commander Jiang!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Rongzheng quickly took a few steps back and warned him in a very serious tone, "Now that you've been released from solitary confinement and learned about my suicide attempt, you should know that I am now Zhan Beiqin's fiancée, right?"
You've already broken off the engagement, and we have no relationship anymore. Besides, you and Beiqin were comrades-in-arms. Now you're standing here in the military compound crying like this. What will the other soldiers think?
Gossip is a fearsome thing, and I don't want any more rumors to spread about me. So please, Battalion Commander Jiang, have some self-respect. I will soon become Zhan Beiqin's wife, and what you just said was that you were coveting someone else's wife.
You are wearing a military uniform; your every word and action represents not only yourself but also the conduct of a soldier. Do not lose your military dignity, nor your own self-respect.
After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, Jiang Linhai was stunned for several seconds. Was this really something she said?
Shouldn't she be feeling terrible after seeing him? Has she completely moved on and forgotten him entirely?
How could it be so fast? They were truly in love before!
“Deputy Political Commissar Zhan, isn’t this Xiao Jiang and your fiancée?”
After the meeting, Zhan Beiqin pushed his wheelchair out, and Zhang Laifu walked out beside him. Seeing Ren Rongzheng and Jiang Linhai talking in the distance, Zhang Laifu said something.
"Yes," Zhan Beiqin replied naturally.
"Judging from Xiao Jiang's appearance, it seems she hasn't gotten over it yet. Well, it's understandable. She was forced to break off the engagement due to family pressure, and it was indeed a painful decision."
Zhan Beiqin's gaze remained fixed on Ren Rongzheng and Jiang Linhai not far away, and he did not respond to Zhang Laifu's words. Seeing that he did not speak, Zhang Laifu continued:
"Speaking of which, Xiao Jiang is really the family's darling. Since we've come to the army to join the soldiers, we're supposed to train like iron men. How could our families not worry about us?"
When Xiao Jiang first joined the army, his parents specially came from the countryside and lived in a small, dilapidated house near the base, just so they could take better care of him.
"Who isn't a family's darling?" Zhan Beiqin retorted, then continued, "Jiang Linhai's parents doted on their son and didn't want him to marry a woman who couldn't have children. Ren Rongzheng was publicly jilted and became a discarded woman in the eyes of the world, so her parents naturally felt sorry for her too."
Infertility is a physical illness, not something she wanted to do. Since it's not her fault, why mock her to her face and behind her back? We men can let it go, but Commander Zhang's wife is a woman.
As fellow women, if you don't understand or sympathize, fine, but why kick someone when they're down and gossip about them everywhere?
Jiang Linhai, pressured by his family's feudalistic ideas, proposed breaking off the engagement and has already been punished by the army. Regiment Commander Zhang has only recently been promoted; we mustn't let his wife's inappropriate words jeopardize his future.
That last sentence truly struck a chord with Zhang Laifu.
He had finally become the regimental commander, and he wanted to hold onto this position more than anyone else. Hearing this reminder, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Beiqin, are you still upset about what happened at the military family compound last time? It was my wife's fault. You know she's from the countryside and didn't go to school much."
She doesn't have bad intentions, but she's easily influenced and easily provoked. I already gave her a good talking-to about what happened last time. Don't worry, she absolutely, positively won't cause any more trouble for your wife, and she definitely won't say any more of those vulgar rumors.
"This is what Commander Zhang said himself. I hope Commander Zhang will keep his word. If I hear his wife mocking my wife for being unable to have children again, I will not let her off lightly."
"Yes, I can guarantee that."
Zhang Laifu responded, then watched Zhan Beiqin push the wheelchair away. Only after he left did he realize what had happened.
"That's not right. I'm his superior, so why am I being reprimanded like one of his subordinates?"
After realizing what had happened, Zhang Laifu felt truly aggrieved.
"Zhan Beiqin, you never really respect me as your commander."
Zhang Laifu grumbled to himself, then walked towards Ren Rongzheng and the others.
Seeing Zhan Beiqin and Zhang Laifu walking over one after the other, Jiang Linhai was startled. He quickly composed himself, gave a military salute, and respectfully greeted them, "Greetings, Commanders."
"Battalion Commander Jiang, you've just been released from solitary confinement. You probably don't know that Ren Rongzheng has become my fiancée. For a woman, the most important thing is her reputation."
Your open conversation with her alone is bound to cause gossip. Since you've already broken off the engagement, I hope you can cut ties cleanly and keep your distance from my wife from now on.
Zhan Beiqin was known as the Iron-Blooded Yama, and even though he was now in a wheelchair, Jiang Linhai was still afraid of him.
"Yes, I understand, sir. From now on, I will keep my distance from Rong... and from Miss Ren."
Zhan Beiqin responded coldly, and Ren Rongzheng quickly went over and pushed his wheelchair over.
"Commander Zhang, Battalion Commander Jiang, we'll be leaving now."
Ren Rongzheng politely said something to the two of them, then pushed Zhan Beiqin away. After leaving the military area, Ren Rongzheng felt inexplicably uneasy. She had spoken to Jiang Linhai alone. Would this man be angry again?
"Does Jiang Linhai still care about you?" Zhan Beiqin asked.
“Yes.” Ren Rongzheng spoke frankly, “He said he broke off the engagement with me because of pressure from his parents. Actually, he loves me very much and he can’t let me go.”
If you asked other girls this question, they would definitely answer shyly or avoid the topic altogether. I didn't expect Ren Rongzheng to be so direct.
After hearing this, Zhan Beiqin remained silent for a long time. Because Ren Rongzheng was pushing his wheelchair from behind, she could not see his expression at that moment.
"This is what Jiang Linhai said; I was just honestly relaying his words."
"I know."
After that, he stopped talking and let her push him all the way back to the military family compound.
After returning home, Ren Rongzheng finally saw his face, which was ashen and extremely unpleasant.
"You're not going to start another argument with me just because I had a few words with Jiang Linhai alone, are you?"
