Chapter 1463: Chapter 1482: Gossip
Can’t keep up with the thinking of young folks?
He’s encountered plenty who trick young maidens into eloping, but this is the first ti seeing soone deceive for marriage.
“Maybe… maybe it’s because the sister-in-law is too pretty and way too young,” Ning Di racked his brain to co up with an excuse.
“That bastard.” Xi Liqun cursed under his breath, “Alright, there’s no way I can help him now, not after you’ve confird these matters as facts. I can’t go against my conscience. I’ll support Jiang Nanfei in filing her divorce application.”
He finished speaking and slamd a fist on the table, “Originally, as long as the boy could return safely from Kannaya, he’d at least be looking at a service dal, possibly second-class. And with his capabilities, he could accomplish the military departnt’s missions—give it a little effort, and even a first-class dal wouldn’t be out of the question. I was counting on him to take over my position soday! But now, look at how it turned out. He’s back, not to take on responsibilities, but to guard the gate or join the kitchen crew carrying pots.”
A perfectly good successor, just wasted like that.
Xi Liqun finished speaking, and the otherwise quiet staff officer standing nearby couldn’t hold back his laughter and said, “Commander! Don’t stress yourself out over this. You don’t know the guy like I do—I’ve heard quite a lot about his antics in the Southeast Military Region. He’s been up and down the ranks countless tis; you’ll get used to it eventually.”
“Really?”
Ning Di’s face turned slightly red as he started talking about his own major general’s history in the Southeast Military Region. Under Xi Liqun’s expectant gaze, he pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
“The Major General has indeed guarded the gate before, and he’s also been demoted to the kitchen crew.”
“Oh! So this ti I might need to co up with sothing novel for him?” Even Xi Liqun couldn’t help but chuckle before waving Ning Di off helplessly, “Alright! Go get busy!”
“Yes, Commander.” Ning Di stood tall and saluted crisply before turning to leave.
*****
In just one day, the news spread like wildfire. Gossip flew in all directions, with rumors about marriage fraud, affairs, a new lover, and so on popping up endlessly. Needless to say, the reputation of the 36th Division’s Major General was completely trashed.
So refused to believe it. Since Huo Beijiang first entered military school, he’d done plenty of outrageous things, but not once had he dated a female comrade. And from military school to the Southeast Military Region, how many female soldiers had a crush on him? More than you could ever count.
The art troupe was full of beautiful military won, yet he’d never committed any style-related misconduct. So why was the scandal this ti so massive?
What kind of peerless beauty could make Huo Major General resort to marriage fraud? Does she actually think she’s Diao Chan or Xi Shi?
Many shared this opinion, which made Jiang Nanfei, Huo Major General’s wife, infamous in the Northern Military District. In private, people cursed her as a troublemaker, scher, and arrogant self-aggrandizer.
A bright-futured, high-ranking officer’s career was ruined because of her.
Even a lantern wouldn’t help you find a woman as venomous as Jiang Nanfei.
Once the rumors spread far enough, naturally the military district compound wasn’t spared from the chatter. By the ti word reached Fu Xinwu’s ears, the tale had already been twisted into countless versions, leaving her seething with anger. Ever since she got the truth from Ning Di, she’d completely switched sides.
“Nan Fei!” Fu Xinwu invited Nan Fei out for dinner, choosing a private room at the Royal Dynasty Restaurant. The mont they sat down, Fu Xinwu began venting, “These people have gone too far. Clearly, it’s my bastard little uncle’s fault, yet they’re insulting you? You’re obviously the victim here.”
Nan Fei, of course, had heard all the gossip circulating outside. Jiang Yang kept her updated on the latest tidbits.
