Liu Ximei felt a chill run down her spine, and forced a stiff smile.

Jiang Kai was completely bewildered. The rumors about the bet in the family area had not reached the soldiers' area, so he knew nothing about the bet.

Li Wanqing, with her daughter, pushed the man slowly towards them, while the curious family members around them did not leave.

"What bet?" Jiang Kai glanced at Li Wanqing, then at his wife.

Liu Ximei hesitated, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Liu Ximei glared at Li Wanqing, "You deliberately tricked me. You knew the cultural troupe was there, and you were sure you would win."

"You deliberately provoked me into betting with you just to embarrass me!"

Li Wanqing's expression turned slightly cold. "Sister-in-law is right, I did deliberately set a trap for you..."

"Look, everyone, look! She herself has admitted it." Liu Ximei exclaimed excitedly.

She really didn't expect that Li Wanqing would be so foolish as to admit it. Does that mean she doesn't have to apologize anymore?

As soon as Liu Ximei thought of this, her anxiety disappeared, and her expression gradually became arrogant.

"However, considering that you are new to the military region, I will be magnanimous and not hold it against you."

Li Wanqing scoffed, as if she had heard a joke.

"Sister-in-law, I admit I deliberately tricked you, but only if you provoked me first!"

“We’ve always kept to ourselves, but you’ve deliberately smeared the families of the Third Regiment of the First Division in front of everyone and looked down on the families of us who are participating in the performance.”

"It's just asking you to apologize; it's not really a trap."

"It's just that if you insist on saying I cheated you, I'll just go along with it."

Liu Ximei looked bewildered, her mind still a bit foggy, while Jiang Kai understood a bit better.

His stupid wife was gossiping in front of others again, and the man himself caught her.

So even if you get scammed, you deserve it!

"Apologize to your sister-in-law right away!" Jiang Kai tugged at Liu Ximei's hand. The longer this matter dragged on, the more people would watch the spectacle.

While there aren't many people around, quickly apologize and leave!

Liu Ximei kept her mouth shut, completely oblivious to his good intentions. Her mind was only preoccupied with the fact that her husband's gang of outsiders had bullied her.

"She's the one who tricked me, why should I apologize!" Liu Ximei roared, her grievances reaching their peak in an instant.

Seeing the attention drawn to Liu Ximei's shouts, Jiang Kai frowned deeply.

"What are you yelling about! Aren't you embarrassed enough already!" Jiang Kai warned in a low voice, "If you keep making trouble, you can go back to your hometown!"

Liu Ximei shrank back, her anger instantly turning into fear.

She finally managed to come with the army, she absolutely doesn't want to go back to her hometown and suffer that old hag's temper!

Liu Ximei stared stiffly at Li Wanqing and said "I'm sorry" with great reluctance.

"I shouldn't have gossiped about others. My sister-in-law is kind-hearted, she definitely won't hold it against me, right?"

Li Wanqing raised an eyebrow, her face tense. "Sister-in-law is wrong. I am the most petty person."

Liu Ximei: ......

Jiang Kai smirked. Cheng Baichuan's wife really knows how to talk!

Jiang Kai glanced at Cheng Baichuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Cheng Baichuan shrugged. "I'm not as capable as Company Commander Jiang. In my family, we listen to our wives."

"Hiss~~~~" Jiang Kai felt his teeth were about to fall out from the soreness. "Your First Division, Third Regiment is going to produce a second henpecked husband."

Cheng Baichuan shrugged indifferently, "That's not so bad."

"At least when it matters, my wife doesn't hold me back."

Jiang Kai: ...He's practically calling me by name!

Cheng Baichuan patted his leg, "It's because my leg is so useless, otherwise my wife wouldn't have to suffer."

Cheng Baichuan looked up at Jiang Kai and said, "I heard that Company Commander Jiang's military skills have improved a lot in the past two years. Once my leg is healed, I hope Company Commander Jiang can give me some guidance."

Jiang Kai felt a chill run down his spine; he knew this guy was up to something.

.......

"Company Commander Jiang doesn't need to look for my husband. Even if my sister-in-law wants to apologize, it's not me she should apologize to," Li Wanqing said calmly.

Jiang Kai was stunned again. He turned to look at Liu Ximei and asked, "Have you offended other people as well?"

Liu Ximei's face flushed red. "Li Wanqing, don't go too far. They're just a bunch of kids. Do you expect me, as their elder, to apologize to them?!"

At such a young age, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?

Jiang Kai also felt it wasn't right, and he apologized to Li Wanqing only because of Cheng Baichuan's sake.

A bunch of kids, what are they apologizing for!

"Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law has already admitted her mistake, so let's each compromise and everyone be happy, okay?"

Li Wanqing kept a straight face, not even bothering to lift her eyelids, "Not good!"

Jiang Kai's face also turned ugly. As expected of Cheng Baichuan's wife, she had the same stubborn and unpleasant temper.

"Sister-in-law, it's good to be lenient when you can. After all, we're all from the same military region."

Li Wanqing pursed her lips and remained silent; her attitude spoke volumes.

Cheng Baichuan glanced at Jiang Kai indifferently, "Company Commander Jiang is right. After all, we're all in the same military region. The fathers behind those children should be able to understand!"

Jiang Kai's expression froze. The lowest rank among those who could accompany the army was company commander, just like him.

Thinking about it... it seems like he can't afford to offend anyone!

Jiang Kai's face turned ashen, and he angrily grabbed Liu Ximei, saying, "You dug this mess yourself, so you have to clean it up!"

They're causing trouble every single day. I shouldn't have let her come to accompany the army in the first place!

Liu Ximei clutched her arm, which was throbbing from being pulled, and tears welled up in her eyes with heartache.

It's not infuriating to compare, but it's infuriating to compare!

Li Wanqing's man always protects her, but her man only thinks about pushing her away.

What terrible things has she done?!

"Hurry up!" Jiang Kai urged impatiently, as more and more people were arriving.

Liu Ximei took a deep breath and looked at Li Wanqing, "Apologize then."

Anyway, it won't cost us a single piece of meat!

Jiang Kai doesn't care about saving face, so why would she care?

Li Wanqing called all the children over; they had been keeping an eye on things ever since Li Wanqing found Liu Ximei.

The children, led by Shao Xingguo and Feng Wei, all looked over with predatory eyes.

Liu Ximei felt a pang of anxiety and really considered running away.

Jiang Kai tugged at her from behind, and Liu Ximei gritted her teeth and gave the children a guilty smile.

"I didn't know the situation before and said some things that looked down on you. Now I apologize to you."

The children looked at each other, then looked at Li Wanqing together.

Li Wanqing chuckled, "Why are you all looking at me? Aunt Liu is apologizing to you. You can forgive her if you want, or you can not. Aunt Liu won't hold it against you."

Feng Wei was the oldest. He thought for a moment and was about to open his mouth when a figure rushed out even faster than him!
