After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 254 Because he is the chief's grandson

However, just as he raised his hand, it was grabbed by Lu Jiangting who had arrived.

"Fang Qing, what are you doing?"

Lin Yuyao turned her head to look at Lu Jiangting. One of his eyes was swollen, and the area around it was bruised and purple.

Sure enough, his injuries were more severe than Fu Huaiyi's.

Fang Qing was stunned when she saw Lu Jiangting suddenly appear, and then cried out, "Jiangting, I came to confront her because I was so angry. You fought with Fu Huaiyi for her sake, but she said it was for me. Isn't that just being unreasonable?"

Lu Jiangting was taken aback, "Yuyao, I..."

Lin Yuyao raised her hand to stop him from continuing, "Fang Qing said she's going to your unit to seek justice for you. Think it through, how did you get this injury?"

Lu Jiangting's heart skipped a beat. He turned and glared at Fang Qing, saying, "Didn't I say I fell by accident?"

"You're protecting her? She doesn't care about you anymore, and you're still protecting her? Jiang Ting, wake up."

“I’m perfectly sober, it’s you who’s not.” Lu Jiangting gripped Fang Qing’s arm tightly and dragged her toward the back of the house.

They rented a house in the building behind it, and they didn't stop until they dragged her home.

Fang Qing was furious. "I care about you, but you're still helping Lin Yuyao? Can't you even tell the difference between close and distant relatives? Let me remind you, we're married."

"You still know we're married?"

“Jiang Ting…”

"Now that you know we're married, can't you think about me?"

Fang Qing was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Use your brain, okay? I've been trying my best to cover up the fact that I've been beaten up like this, and you're still going around yelling about it. When Old Wang asked me, I told him I was drunk and fell down. Think about why?"

why?

"Are you worried that if things get out of hand, it will negatively impact Lin Yuyao? She and Fu Huaiyi aren't married yet, and she hasn't passed the political vetting. What if word gets out that you and he fought over Lin Yuyao..."

"Shut up!" Lu Jiangting said angrily. "Do you think that just because the higher-ups only punish Fu Huaiyi after this happened, I can be the perfect victim? If this really escalates to Old Wang, then it'll be a case of each side blaming the other. Whatever punishment he receives, I'll receive too. If I get a demerit, I can forget about participating in the projects for the second half of the year."

Fang Qing said, "That guy surnamed Fu isn't much better. You're afraid of him, but aren't you? Otherwise, why would he dare to hit you like that?"

“Yes.” Lu Jiangting smiled sinisterly. “Guess why he wasn’t afraid, why he dared to hit me like that?”

Fang Qing thought for a moment and said, "I guess he dared to treat you like this because he knew you wouldn't dare to make a big fuss."

“Yes.” Lu Jiangting nodded in agreement again. “Then guess again, why does he know I won’t dare to make a big fuss?”

"Because... you value your future more than he does."

"That's right, so why do I value my future more than he does?"

Fang Qing: "..."

Do you know anything about Fu Huaiyi's background?

How...how would she know?

"All I know is that he was your classmate and Jianjun was a graduate of military academy."

"Yes, but he's different from us. His grandfather was a retired commander from our military region five years ago. This military region is full of his students and former subordinates."

Although Lao Wang has the right to make him suffer the same punishment as me, the higher-ups will definitely put pressure on Lao Wang and compensate him in other ways.

There are plenty of ways to subtly praise while openly criticizing, and if someone wants to, it's incredibly easy to mess with people like us who have no connections. Go ahead and make a scene, make a scene all you want, you'll be satisfied once you've driven me back to farming."

Fang Qing was so frightened when she realized how powerful the man Lin Yuyao had found was that she didn't dare to say a word.

It took her a long time to find her voice again.

"Then...then if you hit him too, he won't...try to get revenge on you secretly, will he?"

Lu Jiangting took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "No."

He had known Fu Huaiyi for many years, and he knew his character well.

He wouldn't settle personal scores, and he disliked others giving him special treatment because of his family's elders.

Lu Jiangting was well aware of his own abilities.

Although he didn't have the same family background as Fu Huaiyi, he was hardworking and skilled, and Old Wang liked him very much.

As long as he doesn't bring his conflict with Fu Huaiyi into the open and doesn't make things too embarrassing, Lao Wang will protect him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to fight Fu Huaiyi so many times.

After hearing Lu Jiangting's words, Fang Qing was completely convinced and dared not say anything more about taking the matter to Old Wang.

However, the thought that after she stole Lu Jiangting, Lin Yuyao actually found someone even more outstanding made her feel extremely disgusted.

Since he is the leader's grandson, how could he possibly be interested in a country girl like Lin Yuyao?

"How could someone of his status possibly be interested in Lin Yuyao?"

Thinking this way, she said it aloud.

Lu Jiangting asked coldly, "What's wrong with Yuyao?"

Fang Qing: "..."

Lu Jiangting sighed and lowered his head, saying, "Yuyao is very good. I'm the one who has let her down."

Fang Qing was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself that these men were really shameless.

Why are you praising them now? Where were you before?

Moreover... she couldn't see what was so good about Lin Yuyao.

Aside from being decent-looking, isn't she just a country girl?

She was just a little luckier than me; her parents and brothers treated her well and were willing to support her.

If her own family treated her better, with her abilities, she would definitely find a better husband's family.

"Jiang Ting." Fang Qing brought over the ointment. "Let me apply the medicine for you. It's been several days and it's still not healed."

Lu Jiangting looked at the ointment. "You bought it?"

"Yes, although... although we don't have much money, I can't bear to see you like this."

Lu Jiangting pushed away her outstretched hand. "I got some ointment from the army, I don't need it anymore, just return it."

When asked to give her money to buy medicine, he just said it casually.

I just didn't expect her to refuse.

It really upset him for a while.

Fang Qing squeezed the ointment, her face grim. "The medicine has already been opened, how can I return it? Since I've already bought it, I'll apply it for you anyway."

She took it again and even tried to unbutton his clothes.

Lu Jiangting was extremely annoyed. He pushed her away and said angrily, "I already said I don't need it. This is a soft tissue injury. With such a big bruise, what good is your five-cent medicine?"

Yes, Fang Qing was willing to buy him a five-cent tube of ointment.

I didn't want to say much, but after all, I spent money, didn't I?

He was angry that they insisted on putting that five-cent ointment on his body, fearing it would cause his skin to rot.

He might as well use the free stuff he gets from the military doctor.

Fang Qing held the ointment, feeling extremely distressed. She slumped to the ground, looking at him with teary eyes.

"Jiang Ting, we're already married. Do you not want me to get close to you?"

Lu Jiangting was taken aback.

He hadn't thought of it that way before, but after hearing what she said, he started to think about it seriously.

Yes, it seems he really doesn't want her to get close.
