Chapter 27: Questioning

Zhou Xinghua was slapped by Shen Sangyu again for no reason, and her face turned green.

Her face burned with pain, and her eyes were filled with shock: “Shen Sangyu, you…”

After saying that, Zhou Xinghua suddenly turned around and grabbed Wen Qingchuan’s hand on the bed.

However, Wen Qingchuan was prepared and pulled his hand away, leaving Zhou Xinghua to only touch the bed sheet.

Zhou Xinghua’s face became even uglier, and her tone turned more aggrieved: “Qingchuan! Sangyu hit me again; do you still want to help her?”

Everyone in the compound said that Shen Sangyu had changed, but she didn’t think so!

Wen Qingchuan pretended not to hear her, raising his eyes lightly: “I asked you to leave quickly before.”

As he said that, Wen Qingchuan felt a bit annoyed again.

The last time he allowed Zhou Xinghua in was for Zhuang Youliang’s sake.

This time, he was injured and couldn’t get out of bed to drive Zhou Xinghua away.

Who knew that Sangyu would see him again?

Wen Qingchuan glanced at Zhou Xinghua’s ugly face and continued, “Sangyu warned you before not to appear in front of her again.”

Shen Sangyu couldn’t help but smile when she heard the man’s words.

Wen Qingchuan’s protection and Shen Sangyu’s sarcastic smile were very dazzling in Zhou Xinghua’s eyes.

“Qingchuan, I came here because I’m worried about you.”

“Zhou Xinghua, do you need me to repeat it several times? Wen Qingchuan is my husband now.

Don’t I know what to do when he is injured? Do I need you to provide him warmth? If you didn’t know better, one might think you’re here to claim your sovereignty.”

Shen Sangyu deliberately spoke loudly. The ward was not soundproof, and many people gathered at the door, craning their necks to look inside.

Zhou Xinghua suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, and she couldn’t help but panic: “I don’t have this idea.”

“You don’t? You challenge my bottom line again and again. You serve longevity noodles on my husband’s birthday and stew soup for him when he’s injured. Do you want me to concede my position to you?”

Zhou Xinghua wished she was Wen Qingchuan’s wife, just like Shen Sangyu said.

Although Zhou Xinghua didn’t dare to show it, sometimes her inner thoughts would still be revealed in her eyes.

Therefore, Shen Sangyu saw it clearly and couldn’t help but laugh: “But sorry, Wen Qingchuan and I got a marriage certificate. Unless I agree to divorce, Wen Qingchuan will always be my husband! You… don’t even think about it!”

This statement made Zhou Xinghua’s face pale and even uglier.

“Sangyu, it’s really not as you said. Qingchuan takes such good care of us mother and son. We just want to repay him.”

“I don’t think it’s necessarily a repayment, right?”

Shen Sangyu looked straight at Zhou Xinghua and said coldly, “It just so happens that Wen Qingchuan is here too. I want to ask Comrade Zhou something.”

Zhou Xinghua looked into Shen Sangyu’s deep eyes, and her heart trembled.

Now it would not be good for her to answer or not answer. In short, she was in a dilemma.

“What do you want to ask?”

“Today your father came to me specifically and asked me to let you go, and also slandered me for letting you lead a dead end.”

Zhou Xinghua thought it was something else, but after hearing what Shen Sangyu said, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with apology: “Sangyu, my father is too concerned and confused.

I did something before that made you misunderstand, so I accept the punishment from the organization and don’t mean to blame you.”

Shen Sangyu almost laughed out loud at Zhou Xinghua’s natural acting skills.

“Your father also said that Zhuang Youliang’s death was caused by my husband. How do you explain this?”

After saying this, Wen Qingchuan suddenly raised his head, a flash of shock in his eyes.

Wen Qingchuan’s dark eyes stared at Zhou Xinghua, and Zhou Xinghua’s back tightened, as if she were being hunted.

At that moment, she felt an unprecedented panic in her heart.

“Sangyu, you must have misunderstood.”

“I didn’t misunderstand. I remember that Zhuang Youliang died for his country. Did you mention in the report that he died to save people?

When I got on the bus today, many people heard what your father said to me. Do you want me to find someone to confront you and see if it was a misunderstanding?”

Shen Sangyu was not familiar with Zhuang Youliang, but she knew he died because he stepped on a landmine during a mission. Even the original owner knew this.

But ultimately, the Zhou family father and daughter announced publicly that Zhuang Youliang died to save Wen Qingchuan.

She didn’t know how many people would believe it, but sometimes lies can become reality if repeated often enough.

Now that Wen Qingchuan had said he would no longer have any contact with the Zhou family, how would the family compound and Wen Qingchuan’s superiors view him?

“Zhou Xinghua, I don’t care whether you did it on purpose or not. Your father told me that Wen Qingchuan is sorry for you, but Wen Qingchuan is upright! You know how Zhuang Youliang sacrificed himself.

Go back and tell your father that if he continues to harass Wen Qingchuan in the future, don’t blame me for reporting him to his unit!”

Since her rebirth, Shen Sangyu had rarely lost her temper.

But seeing Zhou Xinghua’s panicked look today, she understood that Zhou Xinghua also knew about this.

At this time, Wen Qingchuan also reacted in shock. He looked indifferent, though his lips were a little pale: “Zhou Xinghua, I don’t know what you and your father think, but Zhuang Youliang didn’t save me at the beginning, and everyone in the team knows it.

I only take care of you because Zhuang Youliang and I are comrades-in-arms.”

“Because of Zhuang Youliang, I didn’t pursue many things, but you repeatedly hurt my wife and destroyed my marriage. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to take care of you and Tongtong.”

Wen Qingchuan stared at Zhou Xinghua with dangerous eyes: “Also, no matter before or now, I will never like you. I hope you respect yourself, Comrade Zhou.”

After hearing this, Zhou Xinghua felt as if fireworks were exploding in her ears.

She looked at Wen Qingchuan helplessly, tears suddenly fell, and she collapsed: “Qingchuan, would you rather like someone who looks down on you than like me? You know how I feel about you…”

“Whether there is Sangyu or not, I can’t like you.”

From the beginning, if there had been no Zhuang Youliang, he would not have had so much contact with Zhou Xinghua.

It wouldn’t even have allowed Zhou Xinghua to develop any other thoughts.

Shen Sangyu saw Zhou Xinghua’s collapse and felt a little happy.

If she truly cared for Wen Qingchuan, she would not mislead others about the reason for Zhuang Youliang’s sacrifice.

Zhou Xinghua didn’t love Wen Qingchuan, nor did she love Zhuang Youliang. She always loved herself and her own future.

Shen Sangyu walked to Wen Qingchuan’s side, then sat on the edge of the bed, her movements casual but full of sarcasm: “Take the soup back. If you come to seduce my husband again, I will break your legs.”

Zhou Xinghua blushed at Shen Sangyu’s words, her face filled with anger: “You…”

“Why don’t you get out?” In her previous life, Shen Sangyu was known as a military genius and often attended meetings where bigwigs gathered.

Zhou Xinghua learned the aura from Shen Sangyu perfectly and thought Shen Sangyu was going to hit her, so she took a few steps back.

The people outside were also murmuring, so Zhou Xinghua naturally couldn’t stay any longer, leaving without even taking the lunch box with her.

Shen Sangyu closed the door of the ward.

Wen Qingchuan held the lunch box in his hand, wanting to say something but stopping.
