Cheng You woke up and realized her roommates were looking at her strangely.
Their gazes were as if… she had horns.
"Fang Yunbao, why are you looking at me like that?"
Fang Yunbao whispered, "We saw Feng Xue talking to your man."
"Feng Xue?"
The other three nodded.
Cheng You knew Cao Yanyan was familiar with Feng Xue, so she looked over.
Cao Yanyan waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not quite sure either, but when I saw your husband today, Feng Xue was indeed a bit strange. She seemed to know your husband."
As for what she said, Cao Yanyan didn't elaborate. She was never one to pry.
Cheng You nodded, got up, and went to wash up to get ready for class.
Fang Yunbao followed her, asking, "Cheng You, aren't you unhappy?"
Cheng You wiped her face with a towel, her skin glistening with moisture.
"Feng Xue looking for my man is Feng Xue's business. Why should I be angry?"
However, she would have to ask about it on the way back and see what connection Qi Chengyan had with her.
But in the afternoon, Cheng You was held back.
She was held back by the class advisor because she had missed a pop quiz on the day she took leave.
Facing Su Jinwen's stern face, she couldn't refuse.
Su Jinwen lectured her ear, "Don't think that once you're in university, everything is fine. This is a school, and nothing is more important than learning. You need to have this awareness!"
Cheng You nodded repeatedly, not daring to argue.
Fortunately, the pop quizzes weren't difficult, and she quickly finished her test and handed it in.
Su Jinwen glanced at it and looked at her in surprise.
"You've mastered all this knowledge?"
The school didn't have this condition, otherwise she would have wanted to take students on practical classes.
Cheng You nodded, "I apprenticed with a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and he taught me then. I have the textbooks too."
Su Jinwen realized this and thought that Cheng You had good talent but wasn't diligent enough, too lazy.
"Even though you've mastered it, you can't slack off."
Cheng You felt a bit helpless. Although she was living outside, she spent quite a bit of time studying.
But Su Jinwen always felt she was lazy.
"Alright, alright, you can go back now."
Seeing Cheng You's mind had already flown out, Su Jinwen let her go.
Cheng You chuckled and rushed out.
Unexpectedly, she saw Qi Chengyan at the school gate.
"Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Qi Chengyan naturally took her backpack, "I have nothing to do at home."
Cheng You giggled, "Doesn't this look like a little wife at home waiting for her husband to finish work?"
Qi Chengyan flicked her forehead, "I'm the little wife?"
Cheng You wrinkled her nose and huffed, "You're not a little wife. I heard from my classmates today that you were talking to Feng Xue. What's your relationship with her?"
"No relationship."
Cheng You felt her question was inappropriate and rephrased it, "Did you know her before?"
"Yes, she's the adopted daughter of the Feng family. Old Mr. Feng was my father's superior."
He had retired now and lived in the resting quarters of the military compound.
Feng Xue, in a way, was their nominal granddaughter.
Although Feng Xue didn't live in the military compound, she would visit home occasionally.
Through these visits, they naturally became acquainted.
Cheng You nodded, "Then what did she say to you?"
Qi Chengyan thought about what she had said, felt disgusted, and frowned again.
Cheng You laughed, "Look at your disgusted expression. She's the campus beauty of our school. Many people treat her like a goddess."
Qi Chengyan glanced at her, his handsome face showing obvious disdain.
"What taste."
His wife was much prettier than Feng Xue.
Cheng You lightly patted him and stopped asking.
With his attitude, there was no way anything could happen between him and Feng Xue.
...
The military acted quickly. Within three days, they had clarified the matter and given Qi Chengyan an explanation.
Since it was an explanation, important military leaders, Qi Chengyan's parents, and other involved parties were present.
Cheng You was the first to ask the military to re-investigate, so she was naturally there.
When the irrefutable facts were laid out in this manner, everyone's expressions were quite varied.
Cheng You and Qi Chengyan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy, gratitude, and a mixture of emotions.
Qi Chengyan's superiors felt heartache and regret.
These two years were enough time for Qi Chengyan to accomplish many things.
Cheng You looked at Qi Shengwen and Song Qinglan.
Qi Shengwen was fine; after all, he was in a position of authority and could control his emotions.
Song Qinglan covered her face and burst into tears.
At this moment, she seemed to understand Cheng You's words.
She envied Zhou Qi for always having someone to protect him.
Zhou Qi knelt on the ground, not daring to beg Qi Shengwen for mercy, and turned to the softer-hearted Song Qinglan.
"Mom..."
"Don't call me Mom! I don't have a son like you, I don't!"
She clutched her chest, her body losing all strength, and slid to the ground.
"What have I done, what have I done!"
For someone like him, she had personally pushed her own son away.
Zhou Qi's expression turned cold, and he sneered through gritted teeth, his ferocious gaze fiercely glaring at Qi Chengyan.
"Of course you don't have me as a son. From beginning to end, you only had Qi Chengyan in your eyes! You said all the nice things, saying you treated me like your own son, but here at home, I was always just an outsider!"
Song Qinglan clutched her chest tightly, as if a large hole had been ripped open inside, bleeding profusely.
She glared fiercely at Zhou Qi, unable to believe he could say such a thing.
"You have no conscience! Zhou Qi, you truly have no conscience!"
For Zhou Qi, she had pushed her own son away, and that wasn't enough?
Song Qinglan now realized that some people were born ungrateful, and they could never be appeased!
Zhou Qi sneered and lowered his head, remaining silent.
Political Commissar Luo said, "Zhou Qi, the truth is before your eyes, and you can no longer deny it. We will transfer the evidence to the military procuratorate. During this period, you must remain in the military and cooperate with the summons."
This matter was serious, and Zhou Qi was bound to go to jail.
However, the sentencing would go through the proper channels.
As for Wang Fang and Qin Jianzhong, their actions were actually considered disrupting a military marriage and slandering a soldier.
But given that they surrendered voluntarily and showed good remorse, coupled with the abuse Wang Fang suffered from Wang Gang,
and since Qi Chengyan did not intend to pursue the matter further, the situation was handled with leniency and considered closed.
Upon hearing this outcome, Qin Jianzhong and Wang Fang both cried.
The stone that had weighed on their hearts, the nightmare that had plagued them for so long, had finally ended.
Political Commissar Luo took off his glasses, wiped his eyes, and walked up to Qi Chengyan, patting him on the shoulder.
"You married a good wife."
Qi Chengyan nodded, "She is indeed my fortune."
Political Commissar Luo said, "I'll have someone take Zhou Qi away. I imagine your family has a lot to talk about."
