Bai Ruolin had originally harbored the fantasy that she would eventually win over Zhou Jinchuan.
But she never expected him to catch her in her shameful act, and he even volunteered to testify for Su Yi!
Thinking about this, Bai Ruolin felt her heart sink.
She had originally wanted to use this opportunity to drive Su Yi out of the compound.
But instead, she ended up making a fool of herself and giving Zhou Jinchuan a bad impression.
Where was the arrogance she had just displayed? Now she was just shaking her head and pleading,
“No, no need to call, I misunderstood, I got it wrong.”
Seeing her like this, Qin Yun Feng felt his own face burning with embarrassment.
He had just gotten home when Bai Ruolin burst into tears and told him about losing her watch and money.
She told him that she had just come from Su Yi’s place before losing them, and it must have been Su Yi who took them.
Qin Yun Feng searched the entire house, but there wasn’t a single cent left, and the watch was gone too.
He panicked and followed her to see what was going on.
He never expected things to turn out like this.
Actually, he had felt something was off earlier and wanted to persuade Bai Ruolin to stop, but he couldn’t hold her back.
Now, seeing Zhou Jinchuan about to leave and call Old Master Mo, he quickly blocked his path.
“Commander Zhou, Su Yi is truly innocent in this matter. There’s no need to call Old Master Mo for verification. It was Ruolin who lost her watch and, in her panic, misunderstood. Just follow the agreement and have her apologize to Comrade Su.”
Bai Ruolin also squeezed in front of Su Yi, taking the opportunity to apologize. “I’m sorry, Comrade Su! I was wrong just now. You didn’t steal anything from me. It’s just that my watch looks a bit like that one, so I got it wrong! I really didn’t know it was Old Master Mo’s gift to you.”
Su Yi curved her lips. “Is that your apology? Does it have any sincerity at all?”
Bai Ruolin bit her lip and lowered her head. “Comrade Su, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I apologize to you! I’m sorry!”
With that, she bowed deeply to Su Yi.
Su Yi snorted coldly, “It seems your memory isn’t very good.”
Bai Ruolin knew she was referring to the kneeling, but she couldn’t bring herself to kneel in front of so many people.
She burst into tears and looked at Zhou Jinchuan, “Commander Zhou, this is the army after all, how can you force someone to kneel and apologize?”
Zhou Jinchuan glanced at Su Yi, knowing that she didn’t really want Bai Ruolin to kneel in public.
It could easily be construed as being too harsh.
He spoke, “You agreed to it beforehand, so how can it be called forcing you? Since you’re unwilling, then you will be punished by cleaning the toilets for two months.”
“Furthermore—”
Bai Ruolin, upon hearing that she had to clean the toilets for two months, almost fainted backward. Luckily, Qin Yun Feng caught her.
Zhou Jinchuan looked at the couple with a speechless expression, then continued, “Cleaning the toilets is punishment for your slander of Su Yi stealing your things, but you insisted that Old Master Mo’s watch was yours, and after being exposed, you insisted that Su Yi stole Old Master Mo’s watch. People like you, I’m afraid our army can’t keep you!”
“Let’s put all performance activities on hold for now. We’ll wait for Commander Deng’s decision!”
Everyone had been happy when Bai Ruolin was told to clean the toilets for two months.
Then, hearing Zhou Jinchuan decisively suspend her work, they felt even more relieved!
Seeing that everything had been settled, they didn’t want to stay any longer.
They all returned to their rooms.
But Bai Ruolin, hearing that her work was suspended and facing further punishment, fainted from anger.
Qin Yunfeng, who had intended to apologize to Su Yi, had to rush Bai Ruolin back.
After everyone left, only Zhou Jinchuan and Ye Xiaowu remained.
Ye Xiaowu, although relieved that Su Yi had been cleared of the accusations, was still furious about what had just happened.
Zhou Jinchuan also felt that Su Yi had been unjustly accused, and he knew she couldn’t be happy about it. He wanted to stay and offer some comfort.
But Su Yi was preoccupied with her space, and after a few brief words, she quickly “dismissed” them both.
Seeing her so relaxed, Zhou Jinchuan couldn’t help but wonder:
“Why does she seem so happy?”
Could it be because of Bai Ruolin’s suspension?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
He decided to call Commander Deng immediately to update him on the situation.
He didn’t want anyone else to get to him first and plead for Bai Ruolin.
After Zhou Jinchuan and Ye Xiaowu left, Su Yi quickly closed the door and went straight into her space.
It looked the same as before, except for the addition of Bai Ruolin’s watch and a hundred yuan.
Since it was delivered right to her, why would she refuse?
Just as she was about to return to her hometown, she was worried about not having enough money for the journey!
…
On the other side, Qin Yunfeng carried Bai Ruolin back home.
Bai Ruolin slowly woke up.
Seeing her awake, Qin Yunfeng threw her onto a chair without hesitation.
She wakes up at the wrong time!
He was sweating profusely from carrying her all the way back home, and she woke up as soon as they arrived!
Seeing the anger on his face, Bai Ruolin couldn’t help but shed tears again, “Yunfeng, do you blame me too?”
Qin Yunfeng had been holding back his anger the whole way home. Seeing her crying and asking such a question, he sarcastically replied, “Blame you? I dare not. If you hadn’t come up to me and said that Su Yi took all our money, I wouldn’t have been so confused to follow you.”
“Speaking of which, I also want to ask, since the money was stolen under Su Yi’s dormitory, why did you carry all the money from our house, including mine, and go to confront her?”
“Also, why did you, without a word, call so many people to go find Su Yi as soon as we arrived at the dormitory?”
Bai Ruolin couldn’t bear the continuous questioning, “Yunfeng, do you regret marrying me?”
Qin Yunfeng sneered and looked at her silently.
Bai Ruolin’s heart ached slightly under his cold gaze.
Although she had long seen through this man, she couldn’t help but feel hurt when he treated her this way.
In her previous life, regardless of his true motives, at least he loved her!
Thinking about this, Bai Ruolin suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable uneasiness.
Now that she had been suspended, she could only maintain a good relationship with Qin Yunfeng to stay in the army.
Only then would she have the chance to completely destroy Su Yi.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruolin suppressed the coldness in her eyes and looked at Qin Yunfeng with a pitiful expression.
“Yunfeng, today was my fault. I got you involved, but our money and my watch were definitely stolen.”
“But don’t worry too much. Tomorrow I’ll call home and ask them to send me more money. We’re almost going back to our hometown anyway, so we can buy things for the wedding banquet.”
“Also, I’ll go to Political Commissar Wang and plead for you about the suspension. I’ll try my best to make sure it doesn’t affect you.”
Qin Yunfeng saw that her attitude had suddenly changed, and even at this point, she was still thinking about buying things for their return to their hometown.
His mood eased slightly.
“My allowance will come in a few days. We won’t be completely out of money to go back home.”
“But the suspension is urgent. If Commander Zhou and Commander Deng speak up, there will be no room for negotiation. Why don’t you go see Political Commissar Wang now?”
