An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 8 Meng Youyou wants to buy scar removal medicine
Chu Yaozu was the first to peek through the crack in the door and spot Chu Yao, who was standing there dumbfounded. He exclaimed, "Sister, what are you doing here?"

His tone was clearly flustered.

Then Chu Daqing and Liu Xiue both turned around and saw her. They looked at each other and both revealed malicious intent.

Chu Yao realized what was happening, slammed the door shut, and ran downstairs.

When Chu married Xu Peng, he was very generous and gave the Chu family an apartment as a dowry. As a result, the Chu family also benefited greatly, and the three of them moved to the city and lived in an apartment building.

Chu Yao had just been discharged from the hospital, and her wounds had not fully healed. Naturally, she was no match for the relentless pursuit of the three people behind her. In the end, as expected, she was caught by the Chu family and sent back to the Xu family.

From then on, the tragedy unfolded every day. She could not escape the nightmare until the end, when her fate was exactly the same as that of Xu Penggang's first three wives.

Chu Yao ended her tragic life...

*
There was finally some movement in the corridor outside the duty room. Chu Yao calmed herself down and walked towards the door. Sure enough, she saw Huo Qingshan and the others in the distance.

Having witnessed the true colors and methods of the Chu family in her previous life, Chu Yao deeply realized that even if she hadn't softened her heart and agreed at the time, they would have used many despicable means to force her to marry Xu Penggang in order to achieve their goals.

Therefore, before Chu Yaozu's business completely collapses, she must find a way out for herself in advance.

In her previous life, Chu Yao didn't have much contact with Huo Qingshan, but having lived a lifetime, she knew that this man would rise to a high position and great power in the future.

Moreover, according to the information she had, Huo Qingshan was a man who appeared unassuming on the surface, but in reality, he was a man of great talent and came from a distinguished family.

The family has served in the military for generations. The ancestors made great contributions during the war years, and the fathers also held important positions in the capital. The family has extensive connections and is quite influential.

Looking across the entire military camp, among the people Chu Yao could come into contact with, Huo Qingshan was the best target. He was loyal, courageous, trustworthy, upright, unafraid of authority, and most importantly, capable of protecting her.

Therefore, as long as she can successfully become his girlfriend, and preferably get him to agree to marry her, she can escape the clutches of Xu Penggang and the Chu family in this lifetime and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

When Zhong Heng pulled Huo Qingshan into the duty room, Chu Yao had already calmly sat back down in her chair.

She calmly raised her eyes to look at the newcomers and asked in a gentle tone, "What brings you two to the infirmary today?"

With a warm and sweet smile on her lips, she was like a peach blossom in spring, gentle and beautiful, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Zhong Heng took the lead and stated his purpose concisely: "Medic Chu, our battalion commander was injured on his back during a mission a few days ago. Could you please change his dressing?"

"No problem, Battalion Commander Huo, please come to the treatment room with me. I'll change your dressing now."

After Huo Qingshan took off his jacket, the back of his training uniform, which revealed faint traces of blood seeping through the fabric, was already visible.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Heng suddenly realized: "No wonder the battalion commander still wears a jacket to train every day in such hot weather!"
I see. It's all thanks to Chief of Staff Lu's understanding of the battalion commander's temperament and his strict orders; otherwise, no one could have controlled him.

If it weren't for what happened today, the battalion commander probably would have just let the wound heal on its own. Sigh, what a ruthless person!

Huo Qingshan had his back to Chu Yao. Chu Yao looked at the man's broad back. His wheat-colored skin was crisscrossed with wounds that had not yet fully healed. Blood seeped out from the broken scabs, staining the surrounding skin red.

The area around the wound was slightly red and swollen, which was obviously caused by inflammation due to excessive exercise while not changing the dressing on time.

She couldn't imagine how this person could still persist in high-intensity training every day despite such pain.

Chu Yao gasped, steadied herself, and carefully used a cotton ball dipped in antidote to gently wipe around the wound.

With each touch, she could vaguely feel his body tense slightly, but he remained silent.

After carefully applying ointment to the wound, Chu Yao began to bandage it with clean gauze.

Just then, a clear female voice came from the duty room next door: "Huh? Why is no one in the duty room?"

When Zhong Heng heard the voice, he felt it sounded familiar. He immediately took a few steps and peeked out from the treatment room, just in time to bump into Meng Youyou, who was coming out of the duty room after failing to find anyone.

He called out to the people, waving his hand and saying, "Translator Meng, this way. The medic is in this room."

Meng Youyou naturally saw Zhong Heng peeking out of the doorway of the room five or six meters away, so she walked over.

As she walked to the door and looked into the room, she saw Huo Qingshan standing inside, his body turned to the side as he put on his military green short-sleeved training uniform. The uniform was already mostly on, and Meng Youyou caught a glimpse of a small section of gauze on his left waist that wasn't completely covered, but the next second, the man was already putting on his jacket.

The scene flashed by in an instant, and Meng Youyou was unsure if she was seeing things.

"Is he injured?"

How did you get injured?
When were you injured?

A series of questions flooded Meng Youyou's mind...

She shook her head slightly a few times, trying to banish these strange thoughts.

They train intensely in the military, and injuries are common. What's there to worry about? Judging from how easily he moves around now, the injury probably isn't too serious.

Meng Youyou quickly returned to her original motive for coming here: "Medical worker, does the infirmary pharmacy have any medicines that can remove scars?"

"Scar removal?" Chu Yao wondered if she had misheard.

She looked the woman in front of her up and down, her features incredibly exquisite and beautiful, her skin delicate, white as snow, like the finest mutton fat jade, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Who are you looking for scar removal medicine for?"

Meng Youyou pointed to herself and said, "I'll use it myself." Then she bent down and lifted up the leg of her linen trousers.

The eyes of everyone in the room unconsciously followed the movements of the person who spoke, and the three of them saw a slender, long leg gradually appear.

Several conspicuous red marks were clearly visible on the back of her fair and smooth calves. The intersecting red marks stood out starkly against her snow-white skin, strongly impacting the gaze of the group.

After realizing something was slightly amiss, Zhong Heng quickly looked away, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.

Huo Qingshan unconsciously recalled the scene he saw at her dormitory door that night, when he didn't seem to notice the red marks on her legs.

Perhaps it was too fleeting to take a closer look, or perhaps her pants were too short, exposing her entire leg, and the scars were mostly concentrated on the back of her calves, so his attention wasn't drawn to them.

After the second possibility was born in his mind, Huo Qingshan began to constantly despise himself in the depths of his heart, thinking that he was not a virtuous person, but a despicable person who took advantage of others' misfortunes.

He was surprised that he remembered the places he shouldn't have seen so clearly, but he had no recollection of even such obvious features.

"It was that night when I was being held hostage. They dragged me through the woods, and I got scratched by branches and pebbles on the ground," Meng Youyou began to explain the origin of the scars.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yao frowned slightly. She examined the woman's attire—which she had never seen before—for a few more seconds. Her clothes were exquisite and fashionable, and she formed a general judgment in her mind.

It's highly likely that he's a high-ranking official's son who was transferred here from the central government. He can't endure any hardship and only wants to gain experience here.

After thinking for a moment, she replied with a slightly somber expression, "The border troops have limited medical conditions and drug resources. The medicines in the pharmacy are mainly for treatment purposes, and there are currently no drugs for cosmetic purposes such as scar removal or fading."

Actually, it's not entirely unreasonable for Chu Yao to think Meng Youyou was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Although both are girls, given Chu Yao's upbringing, she genuinely couldn't understand Meng Youyou's needs in this regard.

When Chu Yao was very young, she started helping her parents with farm work and sharing their burden.

Therefore, it was common for her to be scratched by crops, branches and pebbles in the field. Even during the autumn harvest, she would sometimes be cut by a sharp sickle while trying to increase efficiency.

Not to mention that after marriage, she was often beaten by Xu Penggang until she was covered in bruises. In his eyes, the injuries on Meng Youyou's legs now were as insignificant as a drizzle.

Besides, she had worked in the military medical clinic for several years in her previous life, and she usually dealt with rough-looking soldiers. She had never encountered anyone who had asked her for scar removal.

"Huh? Is that so?" After receiving a negative answer from the medic, Meng Youyou immediately looked dejected.

She started talking to herself, muttering softly, "What should I do? I don't want to have a scar."

Then he let out a heavy sigh, "Sigh!!!"
