Chapter 222 He's such a rough guy, we had to use bed sheets to cover ourselves while we slept.
"Sigh, look at my memory. That mission was supposed to be Junyan's. If I hadn't been unwell, I wouldn't have ruined your wedding."
That's the downside of being a military wife; our men are out in the wind and rain, and could be in danger at any moment...
"Look at my mouth! I've been sick and even lost my job guarding the gate. Battalion Commander Lu is newly married; he'll surely return safely!"
The military wives looked around, feeling that something was wrong with what he said, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Having read "Nightly Pampering" and other novels, Qiao Manman immediately noticed Meng Peiyu's ulterior motives.
She thought to herself, "Truly worthy of being the female lead; her mastery of language is unparalleled." She had no idea the other person was a scheming woman.
First, he said the mission should have been carried out by Chen Junyan, and then he said he was not feeling well.
If Lu Yuan completes the mission, it doesn't seem like a big deal. After all, the opportunity was given up by her man. If Lu Yuan can complete it, Chen Junyan can too.
If Lu Yuan performs well, it's to be expected. If Lu Yuan performs poorly, it will only highlight Chen Junyan's abilities.
The simple word "let" downgraded the difficulty of the task and diminished Lu Yuan's contribution.
Qiao Manman had a nightmare last night, so she knew how dangerous the mission was, let alone Meng Peiyu who had been given a second chance at life.
She's using Lu Yuan to pave the way for Chen Junyan.
Qiao Manman thought to herself, even if she didn't love him, there was no need to be so confrontational. This behavior felt almost like that of mortal enemies.
Furthermore, she mentioned "wedding" and "newlyweds," which means that if something happens to Lu Yuan, it's because she's the one who brings bad luck.
People won't think much about it now, but what about later?
If they didn't have their own space, and if Lu Yuan hadn't been seriously injured or killed in the mission because of the early warning armament, would everyone have thought of Meng Peiyu's words and tried to smear her?
They might even belittle her to praise Meng Peiyu: "Oh my, our Sister-in-law Chen is so lucky. If she hadn't suddenly coughed up blood and fainted that day, it would have been Commander Chen who was in trouble. It just goes to show that you have to believe in fate!"
Even after a hundred thoughts have turned, it's all over in a fleeting moment.
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "The task was assigned by the leader. There's no question of 'should' or 'shouldn't.' We're all just cogs in a machine. We'll do whatever the leader tells us to do."
The fact that my son Lu Yuan was chosen for this critical mission shows his outstanding abilities and the high regard his superiors have for him. As for Commander Chen, it can only be said that fate wasn't on his side.
This means that Lu Yuan's mission has nothing to do with Chen Junyan, and there's no need to talk about whether or not to let him go; it's all arranged by the leadership.
If Lu Yuan has rendered meritorious service, it demonstrates his outstanding abilities. Commander Chen could have had a bright future, but unfortunately, he was held back by his wife, which is truly regrettable.
"As for the wedding, it won't really have any impact."
We received the call on the third day of the wedding. All the formalities had been completed, and our relatives had all gone back to their posts. Lu Yuan and I had already planned to return to our military unit anyway.
So, she's a lucky star. Lu Yuan had the opportunity to prove himself by marrying her.
Meng Peiyu's expression wasn't very good. She forced a smile and said, "Comrade Xiao Qiao has a really good attitude. She probably doesn't understand that when soldiers go on missions, they risk their lives. It's very dangerous."
Qiao Manman feigned ignorance: "Sister-in-law Chen, do you really want something to happen to my Lu Yuan? Why do you keep telling me to prepare myself mentally?"
Caught off guard, Meng Peiyu's eyes darted around: "How could that be? I was just showing you some concern since you're new here!"
"Really? Thank you for your kindness, Sister Chen. My Lu Yuan will definitely return safely!"
Qiao Manman smiled brightly, showing no sign of worry. Infected by her smile, the others also offered auspicious greetings. The atmosphere became very harmonious.
Chen Junyan sensed that his wife was acting strangely today, and he held her hand tightly: "Are you feeling unwell? Shall we go back to the hospital?"
Meng Peiyu shook her head and smiled weakly, "I'm fine, I just need to rest for a couple of days!"
I thought to myself, who would want to stay cooped up in that cold, sterile hospital room, where they have to be restrained in everything they say and do?
She was perfectly fine to begin with, but the system backfired, causing her to vomit blood twice. If it weren't for...
She wouldn't have pretended to be sick for so long.
Meng Peiyu originally wanted to use the clues she knew from her previous life to help Chen Junyan make a great contribution, in order to make up for the losses caused by his failure in the mission of the Qingshan Brigade.
But who would have thought that he would faint on the day Chen Junyan set off? He vomited so much blood, and the matter had become such a big deal, the leader couldn't be heartless and immediately called Chen Junyan back.
After regaining consciousness, Meng Peiyu regretted that she had fainted at the worst possible time. She wanted Chen Junyan to try and persuade him, but the leadership had already made a decision to have Lu Yuan return to the team to take over.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Peiyu immediately calmed down. Recalling her past life, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Qiao Manman, aren't you lucky? Now you'll taste what it's like to be a widow!"
Meng Peiyu used her own channels to do some dirty work. That little bit of manipulation was enough to change the entire situation.
When Lu Yuan's mission fails, Chen Junyan will step in to clean up the mess, and his contribution will be even more outstanding.
Thinking of this, Meng Peiyu took a deep breath: "Then I wish Comrade Xiao Qiao all the best!"
"Of course, thank you so much, Sister Chen!"
After that, the two did not speak again.
Zhang Danqiu felt the atmosphere was strange, but both Qiao Manman and Meng Peiyu had polite smiles on their faces, making it impossible to find anything wrong with them.
Someone asked, "Sister Chen, when can we exchange our things with you?"
Meng Peiyu smiled and said, "Let's wait a couple of days. I still need to rest and recover!"
"You need to take good care of yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to have children!" This one sentence made the atmosphere freeze.
The person next to her tugged at the woman's sleeve: "Don't say that, she's so young, she has no trouble having children!"
"I meant well, in our village..."
Meng Peiyu was displeased, but she didn't show it. Instead, she asked, "Comrade Xiao Qiao just arrived. Have you gotten everything ready? Do you need my help?"
Qiao Manman didn't stand on ceremony and asked with delight, "Is that alright?"
"Of course, we're all military wives. Securing the home front for our soldiers allows them to focus on their missions without distractions. Whatever you need, I have cotton, cloth, and food!"
Qiao Manman thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I want them all. We have nothing at home, and we don't know when Lu Yuan will be back."
Seeing everyone looking at her, Qiao Manman shamelessly revealed, "You guys don't know, he's such a rough guy, he doesn't even have a curtain in the room. Last night, we had to use a sheet to cover ourselves while we slept."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Even Meng Peiyu couldn't help but chuckle.
Thinking that everything has to be good, it means that Qiao Manman doesn't have any special advantages.
He managed to escape from Chen Dahu and then send Qiao Zhenzhen into the lion's den. Perhaps it was good luck, or perhaps it was with Lu Yuan's help.
If I had known, I wouldn't have encouraged him to take that mission in the first place!
