Chapter 1031: You Don’t Have To Do That
It was Jiang Yao’s turn to roll her eyes at Lu Xingzhi. “Silly!”
“Yes, my wife is the smartest.” Lu Xingzhi laughed happily.
“I did that to let the people in the army know how much that matter has affected us, to the point that we’re divorcing. When the outcome is out, then you will have a reason to demand that the army punish those who made the report and spread rumors without any evidence. Otherwise, if the army says that it’s nothing serious when it is severe, what should we do? I can’t take that lying down! Someone is behind that report. We must find out and punish him severely!”
If it were not for the fact that she wanted to let everyone know that her heart had been seriously hurt, she would not have had to cry all the way from the Commissar’s office; she would even have to make a scene in front of other soldiers and said that she must divorce him to prove her innocence.
She had to appear as a pitiful victim so that everyone would sympathize with her. Most of the time, people would sympathize with the victim.
Lu Xingzhi thought that she was as good as her second brother at deception. If she could use that to her advantage, then why not?
If her opponent could act, then Jiang Yao could do it too. She was not bad at it as well. If she were to act, what would happen to those movie stars?
Jiang Yao wanted the matter to blow up. She wanted to see who would dare to think that they would treat it as a trivial matter. It could lead to their divorce; how could they believe it was a small matter?
“You don’t have to do that.” Lu Xingzhi hugged Jiang Yao. “Leave it to me. I will find out who reported it.”
“I know that you will find out about it.” Jiang Yao nodded. “These people need to know that they will have to pay for the consequences of making baseless accusations. Otherwise, other people might do the same in the future even if they have no evidence. Does that mean everyone can use that despicable method?”
Jiang Yao was furious. She was angry at the people who reported it, but she was also mad at those who talked nonsense in private, especially that Old Madam He
“I’m going to pack some things and leave the army for now. I want them to think that I’m insisting on divorcing you. Then, I’ll go back to my hometown for two days. Call me when things are settled here. I’ll come back to celebrate the New Year with you,” Jiang Yao said as she tiptoed and kissed the unhappy Lu Xingzhi. “That is the biggest way to put pressure on the army, isn’t it?”
After she left, she still announced that she wanted to divorce Lu Xingzhi, which attracted a lot of attention from the army. That way, no one would believe that she was a vixen. Some might pity her, and some might speak up for her. Those who spread the rumor would also need to consider if they dared to say it out loud.
Jiang Yao’s actions and Lu Xingzhi’s connections pressured the army in two different ways. Everyone thought that Jiang Yao was forced to divorce Lu Xingzhi. The entire army had their attention on that matter. If they did not deal with that quickly, it might impact their troops’ morale.
After all, it was unprecedented for them to allow a rumor to force a military wife to leave the army and divorce her husband. It would be a disgrace if the news were to spread outside the military.
“You’ve only been here for a few days, and you want to go back to your hometown?” How could Lu Xingzhi be happy about that? He had waited for a few months and had just hugged his wife for a few days. He still needed to use the time to get his wife pregnant as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Jiang Yao announced that she wanted to go back to her hometown!
