Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng subconsciously turned his face away, his eyes full of impatience. "Sis, please stop talking and let me have some peace and quiet."

"What I'm telling you is all good news. Even the most virtuous woman is afraid of this. Once the deed is done, she won't have to resist."

As Zhao Juhua spoke, she became more and more excited, and she truly believed that this happened because her younger brother Zhao Feng was too kind.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Yuqin.

"Yuqin, don't be angry when I say this. This is how it is for an outstanding man like my brother. Although it's not allowed to have three wives and four concubines now, you and Xia Qiuran can compete fairly. Whoever gives birth to a son for Xiaofeng first will be our Zhao family's daughter-in-law."

"You're in a superior position now. As long as you take the initiative and learn more fancy moves, your chances of winning are still very high."

Although Yang Yuqin really wanted to marry Zhao Feng, these words still made her blush from head to toe.

"Sister, these days the issue of conduct is being cracked down on so strictly, how can you say such things?"

"What's wrong with saying these things? You've been living in my house for so long, and you're still embarrassed to hear these things?"

"Yuqin, don't blame me for being blunt, but since you're not as pretty as Xia Qiuran, you can only work on other things."

Zhao Juhua continued speaking nonchalantly, and then pulled a small booklet from under the bed and tossed it to Yang Yuqin.

"This is a picture book that your brother-in-law got from outside when we first got married. Study it carefully. If you can make Xiaofeng feel comfortable, I guarantee you'll be better than Xia Qiuran in the future."

Unaware of the reason, Yang Yuqin opened it and glanced at it. Her pupils constricted, and her cheeks instantly burned.

There were groups of two or three, one in front of the other, their movements exaggerated beyond belief.

Yang Yuqin hurriedly closed the book and returned it to Zhao Juhua.

"Big sister, these are contraband items. Why are you showing me these things when I'm an unmarried girl?"

After saying that, she blushed, lowered her head, and ran out.

He ran to the door and bumped into Xia Qiuran, who had just arrived.

"What are you doing here?" Yang Yuqin, who had just been feeling both ashamed and angry, immediately straightened her back and asked.

"I'm here to see Zhao Feng." Xia Qiuran walked directly into the house.

Upon seeing Xia Qiuran arrive, Zhao Feng's eyes immediately lit up as he sat up, propping himself up on the bed.

"Qiu Ran, you're here."

"Xia Qiuran, you actually dared to come here." Zhao Juhua's eyes flashed with malice.

Xia Qiuran glanced at Zhao Juhua: "It was your brother who made the mistake first, why wouldn't I dare to come?"

Zhao Juhua: "Bullshit! What crime did my brother commit that you had to beat him up like this?"

"Then you'll have to ask your brother about that."

Xia Qiuran bypassed Zhao Juhua and went straight to Zhao Feng.

"Zhao Feng, there were so many people there at the time, and many of them witnessed your thuggish behavior. If you don't want me to cause trouble at your factory, you'd better withdraw your report against Lu Zhenghan as soon as possible to avoid a lose-lose situation."

Zhao Juhua immediately retorted, "Shameless! You're making a scene over this; you'll ruin your reputation too!"

"My reputation doesn't matter, since I have no plans to get married anyway. The key question is whether your company will continue to employ a morally corrupt employee like you," Xia Qiuran continued.

The light in Zhao Feng's eyes gradually dimmed, and he stared at Xia Qiuran with one large and one small eye, questioning her.

"Qiu Ran, you're willing to risk your reputation for that soldier. You like him that much."

"Stop with the nonsense. Besides these, here's an extra 200 yuan, all you have to do is withdraw your report," Xia Qiuran said directly.

"200 yuan!" Zhao Juhua silently held up two fingers, her eyes wide, just about to agree when Zhao Feng spoke again.

"Qiu Ran, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to work for another week due to my injury."

Xia Qiuran: "300."

"300!" Zhao Juhua swallowed hard. Xia Qiuran had really hooked up with a rich guy. No wonder she didn't like Xiaofeng.

Zhao Feng rolled his eyes: "This isn't about money. You know I've never cared about these things."

It's not about the money; it's just that the money wasn't paid in full.

A hint of disdain flashed in Xia Qiuran's eyes.

"500 yuan, Zhao Feng. Any more and you won't be worth that much. Since you're so keen on reporting us, we'll just suffer losses together. Do as you please."

After Xia Qiuran finished speaking and saw that Zhao Feng still hadn't reacted, she turned around and started to walk out.

"etc."

He was stopped in a second.

"The police department wants me to mediate tomorrow," Zhao Feng said in a softer tone.

"Okay, I'll give you the money right away as long as you withdraw your report."

Although Zhao Feng is two-faced, he is even more profit-driven and is someone who would abandon anything for profit. With this 500 yuan as a bargaining chip, Xia Qiuran is not worried that he will change his mind at the last minute.

When Xia Qiuran returned to the military base and saw that Lu Zhenghan's office light was still on, she walked to the door but did not dare to knock and enter.

She initially came to the army with Lu Zhenghan's help in order to break off her engagement with Zhao Feng and find a way out for herself, but she never expected that it would cause him so much trouble.

Xia Qiuran lowered her head, her eyes filled with self-blame. How could she face Lu Zhenghan now that things had turned out this way? Forget it, she should just leave.

She turned to leave, but the office door was suddenly opened.

"He hasn't even left the 45th Regiment yet, and he doesn't even want to go inside the regimental headquarters." Lu Zhenghan said with a cold face as he stood at the door.

Xia Qiuran tugged at the hem of her clothes and smiled slightly. "How could that be? I was just afraid of disturbing your work."

"It's not wartime, so there's not that much work to do."

Lu Zhenghan walked back to his office, his eyelashes lowered, and his dark eyes swirling with unfathomable emotions.

Xia Qiuran stood awkwardly in the center of the office.

"Commander, today's incident was caused by me. I'm sorry, and I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again."

Although I knew that apologizing would be useless, I didn't know what to say at that moment.

Lu Zhenghan sat in his chair and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. His gaze sharpened, as if he was very dissatisfied with the answer.

"Anything else?"

"Anything else?" Xia Qiuran was slightly taken aback, thinking that Lu Zhenghan was asking about the solution, and quickly replied.

"Also, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore; I've already taken care of it."

Lu Zhenghan's fingers, which were tapping on the table, suddenly stopped, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

"Resolved? How did you resolve it?"

Xia Qiuran blinked. If she revealed how much money she had spent to buy Zhao Feng's withdrawal of the report, Lu Zhenghan would definitely disagree and might even go to Zhao Feng again. To avoid further trouble, she spoke vaguely.

"Anyway, Zhao Feng will definitely withdraw the report tomorrow, so don't worry."

"You went to see him?"

Lu Zhenghan stared intently with sharp eyes, the surrounding air seeming to freeze into frost, bringing a strong sense of pressure, and then said nervously.

"Did he do anything to you?"

"Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me. We're old acquaintances after all. I said some nice things to him, and he agreed." Fearing that Lu Zhenghan would misunderstand, Xia Qiuran quickly explained, avoiding the main point.

An old acquaintance? Saying nice things?

The few words were like jarring noise; his face was cold, with a hint of gritted teeth.

"Xia Qiuran, I'm not so incompetent that I need a woman to cover for me. I'll explain everything to the police tomorrow, and I'll accept whatever punishment I'm given."

"And this matter ends here. Neither of us should mention it again," Lu Zheng said coldly and decisively.
