Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 142 is no pushover either!

Jiang Qing stared blankly for two seconds before screaming as she watched her review materials and textbooks being engulfed by the raging flames.

"Lu Tingting, what are you doing?! You burned all my study materials?!"

Lu Tingting, hands on her hips, said smugly, "Yes, burn it all! I'm not only going to burn your things, but I'm also going to take care of you, you bitch!"

After saying that, he pounced on Jiang Qing and grabbed her hair.

Jiang Qing was no pushover either, and quickly retaliated.

The two wrestled and rolled on the ground like wild cats.

Jiang Qing: "Lu Tingting, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Tingting: "Don't try to act tough in front of me. If you dare to make me take the blame for you, I'll show you how I'll kill you!"

Jiang Qing froze abruptly.

Oh right, how could she forget that Lu Tingting took the blame for her!

If Lu Tingting knows, then doesn't that mean Lu Cheng knows too?
Before long, the families and soldiers will also know that she was the one who started spreading rumors about her stepsister!
How can she stay here any longer?

Jiang Qing was completely panicked and forgot to resist.

Lu Tingting seized the opportunity to pin her down, scratching and clawing at her until Jiang Qing screamed in agony.

……

Having slept soundly last night, Jiang Moli, unusually, woke up early to have breakfast with Lu Cheng.

Jiang Moli was not surprised at all when she learned from Lu Cheng that Jiang Qing was the culprit who spread the rumors.

"Your stepsister looks honest, but she's a real handful!"

"Also? Who else?"

Meeting Jiang Moli's ambiguous smile, Lu Cheng calmly said, "The other one is Tingting."

Jiang Moli couldn't help but laugh when Lu Tingting was mentioned.

This silly girl knows she's taken the blame for Jiang Qing, and who knows how much trouble she'll cause.

Seeing her smile, Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Your stepsister is badmouthing you like this behind your back, aren't you angry?"

“We’ve never gotten along since we were kids, so it’s not surprising that she talks badly about me behind my back.”

Reputation is an ephemeral thing, but money is a tangible thing lying in her account.

To be honest, she should thank Jiang Qing for helping her make money.

Lu Cheng couldn't see through her thoughts. Instead, he felt that she was broad-minded and indifferent to fame and fortune, which was very different from those petty and calculating family members.

"Jasmine, what are your thoughts and requests regarding your stepsister's behavior?"

Seeing Jiang Moli's confusion, he explained, "Those who do wrong should be punished."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Moli couldn't help but recall the question she had asked the man before.

—What if I really did something wrong?

—Then I'll stand at attention and take the beating with you.

"How do you plan to punish her?" she asked curiously.

“Although your stepsister is not a soldier and cannot be punished according to military discipline, it is permissible to expel her from the military for what she has done.”

In the original book, the original owner's vicious stepsister met her demise early on.

Jiang Qing, the female protagonist, relies on the advantages of being reborn, as well as her self-reliance and diligence, to become one of the first college students among military dependents.

Jiang Moli thought that, given Jiang Qing's persistent nature, she might go back and rely on the Jiang family to pay for her university education.

"School is about to start, let's keep her here and let her shine."

In Lu Cheng's view, Jiang Moli's decision was not only kind and generous, but also showed great vision.

As expected of his wife, she's truly exceptional.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Lu Cheng washed Jiang Moli's dirty clothes from the previous night before leaving the house.

After leaving the guesthouse, he didn't rush back to the camp, but went to the school dormitory instead.

When he arrived, Lu Tingting and Jiang Qing were locked in a fierce fight.

He separated the two.

Seeing that Lu Tingting wasn't seriously injured, he didn't ask any further questions. He came over to ask Jiang Qing about the rumors.

Jiang Qing had no way to deny it, so she cried and admitted her mistake to Lu Cheng, hoping to gain sympathy and pity with her tears.

This is a trick that has always worked for her.

However, she didn't know that Lu Cheng hated it when people cried in front of him, regardless of gender.

Of course, this excludes one's own wife.

"Jiang Qing, stop with this act. The army isn't your stage. You think you can get applause by crying?"

Seeing Jiang Qing's face, which was as colorful as if a palette had been spilled, Lu Tingting was extremely pleased.

Compared to scolding outsiders, her third uncle was quite gentle with her.

……

"Zhang Jiaming, Army Commander Lu wants to see you in his office."

"understood."

Upon hearing the message from his comrade, Zhang Jiaming remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was secretly delighted.

Six months ago, he single-handedly captured two smugglers and seized a batch of important supplies, which earned him Lu Cheng's appreciation.

After that, Lu Cheng frequently summoned him and assigned him tasks.

The last time I assigned him a task was two months ago.

During this period, he made a series of mistakes that angered Lu Cheng, and he thought he had "fallen out of favor".

I wonder what kind of task they'll assign him this time.

Filled with excitement and anticipation, Zhang Jiaming approached Lu Cheng and announced, "Zhang Jiaming, squad leader of the fourth platoon of the third company, reporting for duty!"

"Close the door."

"Yes!"

As he turned to close the door, Zhang Jiaming couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that they're going to assign him a confidential mission?

"Zhang Jiaming, I've called you here today because I have something private to discuss with you..."

Hearing that Jiang Qing was the culprit who spread the rumors, Zhang Jiaming subconsciously refused to believe it.

"Lu Ying, could there be a mistake? Xiao Qing isn't that kind of person..."

Lu Cheng interrupted him coldly, "Jiang Qing herself has already admitted it."

Zhang Jiaming was speechless, his face full of shame: "Commander Lu, I didn't know about this."

“Jasmine is generous and doesn’t hold a grudge, but as her husband, I won’t let her suffer this injustice for nothing.”

……

Zhang Jiaming arrived at Jiang Qing's dormitory feeling dizzy and unsteady.

Jiang Qing was tidying up the bed that Lu Tingting had messed up when she saw him and her face turned pale instantly. "Jiaming, you know everything?"

Zhang Jiaming looked at her, his eyes no longer filled with love, only with a chilling disappointment.

"Xiao Qing, why did you do this?"

Before Jiang Qing could utter a sound, tears streamed down her face. "Because I'm jealous. We were proposed to on the same day, but her betrothal gift was more than a hundred times that of mine. She was incredibly glamorous, while I was ridiculed. I don't covet fame or fortune; I only want to truly love you. But in other people's eyes, I've become a shameless woman who doesn't respect herself and is desperately trying to marry into her husband's family."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Zhang Jiaming's anger and confusion turned into guilt and self-blame.

"It's my fault for being incompetent, and I've made you suffer."

Jiang Qing lowered her head and wept, trying to hide the scheming in her eyes.

She had many reasons to be jealous of Jiang Moli, but only the marriage proposal and the wedding could make Zhang Jiaming feel guilty.

"Jiaming, I'm just an ordinary woman. I get jealous and I make mistakes. I hate myself for it."

Seeing her crying uncontrollably, Zhang Jiaming hugged her with heartache.

"Okay, stop crying, I don't blame you."

Lu Tingting returned after breakfast and overheard this. She immediately retorted sarcastically, "Of course you don't blame her. You should blame yourself for being blind and tasteless, marrying such a beast in human form!"

Jiang Qing was furious.
