Gu Tong’s crystal-clear eyes were fixed on the comforting sight of the princely ladies’ Qiu Xue, a cold smile emerging at the corners of her mouth, even wishing to tear her apart!
She had to admit, Qiu Xue was truly cunning, doing exactly the same things as in the past life.
The former days, at the same time.
The organization issued the same orders, instructing Li Yan to lead the Warhawk Class 1 to carry out a mine-sweeping task.
At that time, Gu Tong and Li Yan were still in the early stages of their new marriage, stubbornly holding their ground. Gu Tong couldn’t bring herself to see him off.
However, Qiu Xue went! And not only did she go, but she also won rounds of applause and gained the support of many officers’ wives. Later, rumors spread continuously in the Academy, all about her and Li Yan, making it seem almost confirmed!
At that time, Gu Tong was at the Royal Hospital. Though not far, she couldn’t hear these rumors.
By the time she found out, Qiu Xue’s image was already deeply rooted, and she had become the reviled third party who stole love!
Looking back, Qiu Xue’s first move was probably right now!
"Is this the Earl Li’s girlfriend? She’s truly beautiful..."
"Damn, you country bumpkin, that’s the Bai Ling of the literature class, the star of our Academy. Of course, she’s beautiful, but I didn’t expect she and the Earl to be a pair..."
"The literature class is quite far from here, isn’t it? She came all this way; they must have a deep relationship..."
Inside the jeep, the trainees from the Medical Center were discussing animatedly, mostly with words of envy. This was what they meant by a perfect match of a talented man and a beautiful woman, wasn’t it?
Gu Tong’s thoughts drifted away, and she glanced at them but didn’t speak. Rumors stop with the wise, yet how many wise people are there in this world?
It always comes down to making a mountain out of a molehill; Qiu Xue’s methods were excellent. She once confused the entire Academy; how could the Royal doctors at the Medical Center be any different?
However, she wasn’t planning to let Qiu Xue have her way! Some things should be resolved only after returning.
Gu Tong’s eyes coldly fixed on the gradually receding pale blue figure, wishing to bore a hole through it!
The real drama hasn’t even started!
Who will succeed is not yet certain!
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
In Gu Tiancheng’s office, it was already a mess, with documents, pens, cigarette boxes, and other items swept down to the floor.
However, this was just the beginning of the storm. Gu Tiancheng angrily pounded the table and said, "What’s wrong with the marriage I arranged for her? Li Yan is a national hero! Her husband is going on a mission; such a big event, and she doesn’t even come to see him off. She’s not even as good as the Qiu family’s girl, almost making me lose all my face!"
Gu Tiancheng wasn’t very cunning, so he didn’t see through Qiu Xue’s thoughts. However, even ordinary camaraderie was enough to make his blood boil. It’s the kind of truth that comparison leads to harm.
"Prince, calm down. Gu girl isn’t senseless. Maybe something held her up, which is why she couldn’t come."
Feng Yi, Gu Tiancheng’s Deputy General and holding a rank between Duke and Lieutenant General, was quite influential. Back in the day, he rode the battlefield alongside Gu Wangjue and always served by his side as an aide.
"What could keep her? If she were far away at the Royal Hospital, I wouldn’t say anything! But she’s at the Academy, in the same building! If she wanted to, it would only be a few steps! Could it tire her out?"
Feng Yi pursed his lips and poured a cup of tea to quell Gu Tiancheng’s anger. Having been with the Prince for a long time, he naturally knew how hot-tempered he was, and said, "Yesterday, I asked Li Yan’s deputy. He said Gu girl wanted to go with him, but Li Yan refused. I guess they were having a spat."
