Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Regardless of the taste, at least she felt a sense of warmth here.

She took another sip and found it quite delicious. The soup warmed her stomach, and the rising steam from the bowl made her eyes red.

"Girl, don't cry. Even if the soup is delicious, it's not worth being this emotional!" Xie Susu quickly handed her a tissue.

"I think she's still stuck in her emotions about Liu Hongmei and can't get out of it!"

He Jingcheng gave a thumbs up: "No wonder she was chosen as the female lead, the immersion is amazing!"

Li Dai sniffed: "When I came back from the film set, they all ostracized me."

They said I didn't know how I messed around outside, and that I was dating male actors, which they considered improper.

He Jingcheng was indignant: "How could they spread such rumors about a young and outstanding woman? I think they're just jealous of you!"

"Come on, I'll get you an explanation!"

As he spoke, he tried to drag Li Dai to the cultural troupe.

Qiao Lingyue coughed lightly: "Don't be impulsive!"

Xie Susu also asked, "In what capacity will you go?"

Lu Yuan said, "If you go, you'll just be adding fuel to the fire!"

There was nothing wrong originally, but what if those women start dragging you and Comrade Li together?

It doesn't matter that you're old, but Comrade Li is only in his twenties!

You old tree bark, how could you possibly be worthy of this tender young cabbage!

He Jingcheng looked at Li Dai, then pointed to himself, his eyes full of disbelief: "You're saying I'm like old tree bark?"

Look at my face, my figure, and my brain. You're calling me an old tree bark?

Nephew-in-law, I think you don't want to be with my Manman anymore!

"No, no, I'm going to tell my sister!"

Lu Yuan suppressed a laugh, while the others exchanged glances.

He Jingcheng got even angrier when he saw that no one was listening to him.

His face was red and his neck was thick, like an angry pufferfish.

Li Dai comforted her, "Researcher He, don't be angry. I think you're quite young, not at all like someone twenty years older than me!"

He Jingcheng quickly chimed in, "See? Comrade Ren Li has a good eye!"

The group laughed, making Li Dai feel embarrassed.

Then, the solution was discussed.

"You can't do this. The more you hide, the more people will think you're guilty."

Next time someone spreads rumors, make a big scene and get the higher-ups to take charge.

What if the leadership doesn't take any action?

"Go ahead and cry, make a scene, just say you've been treated unfairly."

Call the director again and say that a colleague suspects you two have an improper relationship, and ask him to come to the military base to testify for you.

In short, problems need to be solved on the spot, otherwise, a fake problem might become real.

Li Dai's eyes lit up as she listened: "Aunt Xie, thank you. If they dare to ostracize me again, I will remember their mistake."

"Yes, yes, that's it! Auntie loves the energy you young people have!"

Li Dai nodded: "Auntie is young too, she looks like my older sister."

"Really? Hehehe, it's all thanks to my daughter-in-law's skill. She keeps me so supple and radiant! When Manman wakes up, I'll have her do it for you too."

Li Dai hummed in agreement and looked at Grandpa Qiao: "Sister-in-law will wake up, right?"

"Of course!"

Li Dai breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with them about her filming experience, which they listened to with great interest.

Outside the courtyard, many people secretly peeked out and looked in this direction.

"Hey, Comrade Li has been inside for over an hour, why hasn't he been kicked out yet?"

Could it be that Commander Lu is planning to rekindle his old flame with her?

"Compared to Qiao Manman, Comrade Li is beautiful, has a glamorous job, and has just finished filming a movie."

With so many accolades, how many men can handle it?
