A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

Qiao Shanshan has been having diarrhea lately for some reason. After work today, she wanted to go to the hospital to get some medicine, but she unexpectedly ran into Cao Huiyun.

She got to know Cao Huiyun through a previous medal awarding ceremony. Cao Huiyun's father-in-law was specially invited to award medals to the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions, while she sat with her husband.

Her husband's identity was also quite remarkable; he became the deputy chief of staff of the army at a young age, and it was during that time that she met him.

However, the other party did not work in the military, and she was just an ordinary officer. Being a woman, she had no way to get acquainted with the other party's husband in order to avoid suspicion, and they contacted each other less and less later.

I never expected to run into him when I came to the hospital because I had an upset stomach.

Qiao Shanshan's eyes lit up as she went to greet her: "Sister Huiyun, what brings you to the military base?"

Then she saw the boy covered in injuries next to Cao Huiyun: "This is... my nephew? How did he get like this?"

Cao Huiyun still remembered Qiao Shanshan; after all, she didn't make friends with just anyone.

Li Bowen and his wife's child died on the battlefield a few years ago, and the only person he could be considered close to was this niece.

Moreover, the other party is quite sensible, so they will greet each other when they occasionally meet.

However, today, she was already furious because of Li Bowen's words, and seeing his niece only fueled her anger. But she couldn't show it too obviously, so she could only vent her frustration on what happened today.

"It's all because of a toy!"

Cao Huiyun placed her hand on her son's shoulder. The eleven-year-old boy was only half a head shorter than her, and it was already difficult for her to reach out and touch his head.

“My child is spoiled at home, but he has a good heart. There’s a military wife in your unit who got a toy airplane. He really wanted to play with it, but the other party’s child wouldn’t let him. So he thought of giving the other party some money to let him borrow the airplane for a while.”

As a result, not only did the other child refuse to cooperate, but the other children who were surrounding the other child probably saw that my child's attitude was too bad, so they ganged up on him and beat him up.

"Oh my god! How could this happen! Are you alright?" Qiao Shanshan covered her mouth.

"I just came out of the hospital for a check-up. It's nothing serious, just external injuries. I can't get it wet for a while. I just need to rest for a while."

"These kids are going too far. It's just a toy, why are they hitting people like this..." Qiao Shanshan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister Huiyun, the military wife you mentioned wouldn't happen to be named Shen Anning, would she?"

"You know her?" Cao Huiyun raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Shanshan feigned hesitation, looked around, and whispered, "I do know a little bit, but sister, please don't tell anyone that I told you this..."

Although the news of that day spread throughout the army, Qiao Shanshan knew Cao Huiyun's personality. He associated with prominent figures, and she rarely made friends with ordinary people, so the gossip never reached her ears.

As long as she doesn't tell her husband that she was the one who told him, she'll basically stay out of it.

Qiao Shanshan did understand Cao Huiyun. She wasn't interested in this kind of gossip. She was too busy with work at her company every day, and all sorts of people came to flatter and fawn over her. There was no need for her to care about such gossip. If she wanted to know something, she could just have someone investigate it directly.

But today is different. Not only did her son get beaten up, but she also suffered a great loss.

She wanted to see just who this Shen Anning was, that even Commander Li treated her with such respect.

Afterwards, Cao Huiyun and Qiao Shanshan went to an inconspicuous corner, where Qiao Shanshan embellished the story of what happened after Anning came to the army.

"That's roughly the situation. Those two military wives are no longer in the army, and no one dares to mess with her. Oh, and there's also the mother of a battalion commander next door. I heard that one night when she got up in the middle of the night, she found some animal in her yard. She was worried that the animal might cause some damage, so she climbed over the wall and ended up breaking her leg in her yard."

Although they had had disagreements before, the other party meant well this time, and was also older. However, the other party completely disregarded the aunt's situation and insisted that she make a promise not to pursue the matter of breaking her leg in her yard. I heard that later, the aunt even caused trouble for the battalion commander. Of course, this is just hearsay; I don't know if it's true or not, but it seems the battalion commander later went to her house to bring her fruit as an apology.

Anyway, that's pretty much her type: she neither respects the elderly nor cares for the young, and she has absolutely no brotherly love. Her favorite thing to do is to escalate things and be unforgiving once she's in the right.

After saying all this, Qiao Shanshan finally vented all her resentment towards An Ning and felt much better.

Although her aunt and uncle's attitude towards her didn't change after that incident, indicating that they were still on her side, her colleagues were noticeably more distant from her, and she always felt like someone was whispering behind her back when she went to work.

This feeling had been going on for a long time, and she hadn't slept well for a long time.

If she doesn't get rid of Shen Anning soon, she's afraid she'll go crazy.

Cao Huiyun was surprised that Shen Anning was so capable that she could even get rid of the military wife who had offended her. She became even more determined not to provoke her directly.

But she has a precious child in her family, a precious child that no one can touch. Even if she offends Shen Anning, she can't do anything to her father-in-law.

Thinking of this, Cao Huiyun decided to ask her father-in-law to stand up for her and her son.

Of course, this matter cannot be stated directly; a certain approach is required.

Before taking her son back to the county town, Cao Huiyun specially bought some snacks to go with drinks, waiting for her father-in-law, who had gone out to play chess, to return.

Around 8 o'clock, a thin old man returned on time, his hands behind his back.

"Huiyun, weren't you supposed to be on leave and staying at the military base for a few days? Why are you back so soon? What happened to Jianhua's injuries?"

As Cao Huiyun expected, no grandfather could ignore the injuries on his grandson, and the other party brought up the issue immediately.

Cao Huiyun recited the speech she had prepared on the way back. Her father-in-law was a very upright man, but also a very stubborn old man. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

Therefore, she had to use a subtle approach to shape Shen Anning's first impression on him.

I can't say anything bad about her directly, but I can't stay silent either.

This is a science.

As expected, Wu Dingguo was furious upon hearing this: "How can there be such an arrogant and domineering person? Jianhua was indeed wrong in this matter, but what she did was too much of a bully! I want to go and see what kind of person this is!"

"No, Dad! It's better to avoid trouble. Besides, a family like ours should be avoiding this kind of thing as much as possible. If you go and cause trouble for others, who knows what they'll say about us! Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you should think about your success! Jianhua, it's okay to suffer a little loss. Suffering is a blessing."

Cao Huiyun's words, on the surface, seemed to be persuading her father-in-law not to do this, but in reality, she was stirring up trouble.

She knew the other person's personality; the more she tried to stop them from doing something, the more they wanted to do it.

Wu Dingguo was so angry at these words that his beard bristled: "Suffering a loss is a blessing. I'm giving you this blessing, do you want it or not?"

"Dad! I've already taken care of this matter. Please listen to my advice and don't go!"

"You don't care about your son, but I care about my grandson!" Wu Dingguo was furious. "Don't worry about this. It won't affect Chenggong anyway."

He made the decision.
