Chapter 166: Chapter 166: My Wife is the Most Beautiful in the World

Jiang Moli wondered, "Why is Vice Yang asking about this?"

Yang Lijiong smiled. "Just curious. Is it inconvenient to say?"

"It’s not that it’s inconvenient. I just didn’t expect a leader like you to be such a gossip."

Yang Lijiong’s expression didn’t change, but the two female soldiers with her were quite displeased.

"Vice Yang was just showing some concern since you’re also staying at the guest house. If you want to talk, talk. If not, then don’t. Is there any need to be so passive-aggressive?"

Jiang Moli said, "The emperor’s not worried, but the two eunuchs are."

"Who are you calling a eunuch?"

"Whoever you think I’m talking about, that’s who I’m talking about."

"You..."

"Enough!" Yang Lijiong spoke up, stopping the argument. "Mr. Jiang, I was being presumptuous. I won’t disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

"You certainly were. Very presumptuous, in fact. We barely know each other, so you should be more careful in the future. The moment you open your mouth, you’re asking who another woman’s husband is. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you have your eye on my man and are trying to steal him away. I don’t have a pretty way of speaking, so don’t take it to heart, Vice Yang."

Never mind the two female soldiers, who were furious; even Yang Lijiong’s expression wasn’t very good.

As a master performer, her control over her emotions and expressions was extraordinary.

It was rare to encounter people or situations that made her lose her composure.

’This woman’s mouth is just so infuriating!’

[Displeasure Value +3. 30,000 Yuan credited.]

But more than being angry, she was curious about who exactly Jiang Moli’s husband was.

After hearing from Zhong Weiguo that Lu Cheng had gotten married, she had inexplicably thought of Jiang Moli.

The 2nd Regiment had three battalion commanders. The other two were in their late thirties, leaving only Lu Cheng as the youngest and the most recently married.

Meanwhile, Jiang Moli’s mood lifted considerably upon hearing the notification that she had earned Displeasure Value.

Regarding Yang Lijiong asking about her family, she secretly wondered if the woman was holding a grudge because she had refused to switch rooms and was now planning to make things difficult for her husband.

When she reached the gate of the military compound, Lu Cheng was already waiting for her.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, a gentle smile also spread from the corners of Lu Cheng’s eyes. "Did something good happen? You look so happy."

’Someone was practically begging to give me money. How could I not be happy?’

Out loud, she replied, "I met a beautiful woman on the way here. She came up and hit on me. I didn’t realize I was so beautiful that even other women can’t resist me."

"Of course. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. I’m the lucky one who got you."

Jiang Moli gave him full marks for that dose of emotional validation.

After signing in, the two walked side by side into the compound.

Knowing she was afraid of the sun, Lu Cheng intentionally guided her to walk under the pine and cypress trees lining the footpath.

"I’m coming into the compound to use the phone every other day. Will people gossip about it?"

"They wouldn’t dare."

Jiang Moli was amused. "It seems you’re quite the big shot in the compound."

Lu Cheng thought to himself, ’Am I not a big shot in bed, too?’ But in the light of day, he refrained from saying such improper things.

Jiang Moli told him about running into Yang Lijiong and how she had wanted to switch rooms.

"It’s fine. This is the 2nd Regiment’s territory. Even if she’s a dragon, she has to coil up when she gets here."

Hearing Lu Cheng say that, Jiang Moli felt relieved.

’Say what you will, this man really is a bit of a badass.’

RING RING RING.

Hearing the phone ring, Fan Wenfang stood up and answered it. "Hello, who is this?"

"Sister-in-law, it’s me."

Recognizing Jiang Moli’s voice, Fan Wenfang’s expression turned cold, and her immediate instinct was to hang up.

"Don’t hang up, Sister-in-law. I’m calling to apologize to you."

Fan Wenfang said sarcastically, "Oh, I wouldn’t dare. What could you possibly have done wrong? It’s all my fault. I deserve it."

Jiang Moli sighed. "Mom gave me a harsh lecture. She said I wasn’t considerate of a mother’s anxieties. I spent all last night seriously reflecting on it, and I think Mom was right. Sister-in-law, I spoke without thinking; I was too self-righteous. Really, I deeply regret the things I said last night."

"How about this? I asked our aunt to help me cook a table full of dishes. Tonight, bring Haoyu and Nana over to Mom’s house to eat, and let’s call it my apology. It’s rare for me to treat someone, so do me the honor, won’t you?"

"And you don’t have to worry about Tingting. She’s staying in the room next to mine now, and I’ll keep an eye on her every day. As long as she’s safe and sound, what does it matter if she goes back a couple of days earlier or later, right?"

After finishing her call with Fan Wenfang, Jiang Moli called the Lu Family’s home again.

She told An Hui, "Mom, Sister-in-law said she’s coming over tonight to apologize to you. She’s a very proud person, so as the elder, don’t be too standoffish. Give her an out, be proactive, be enthusiastic, okay?"

After hanging up, she turned to meet Lu Cheng’s admiring gaze and said with a wide smile:

"As long as Sister-in-law brings my nephew and niece over for dinner tonight, this matter will be settled."

Lu Cheng understood. "I’ll call my older brother in a bit."

’A smart man really does make life easier.’

「...」

In the afternoon, Jiang Moli woke up from her nap and went to the restroom to relieve herself.

When she got to the restroom, she felt like the sky was falling. There was actually a line.

Before, the guest house only had two or three guests, and she could use the facilities whenever she wanted.

But now she had to share one restroom with ten or twenty people. Just the thought of it was depressing.

’I hope this group leaves soon.’

After using the toilet and washing her face, Jiang Moli leisurely strolled to the school.

She arrived at the school just as classes were letting out.

Jiang Moli stood at the school gate like a door god. "The students whose names I took down this morning, stay behind voluntarily. Don’t make me come to your homes to drag you back. Anyone I have to catch will copy the lyrics 20 times."

Hearing her words, some students who had planned to sneak off didn’t dare to leave.

Jiang Moli gathered the students who stayed behind in the first-grade classroom.

She used chalk to write the lyrics of the national anthem on the blackboard.

Then, she pointed to the first line of lyrics with a thin bamboo stick. "I’ll sing it once, and you follow along..."

Outside the classroom, Jiang Qing watched through the window for a while. Seeing that Jiang Moli wasn’t pulling any tricks but was earnestly teaching the students to sing the national anthem, she turned to head back to her dorm.

Just as she was leaving the school, she ran into Yang Lijiong.

"Comrade, excuse me, is Teacher Jiang Moli at the school?"

Jiang Qing nodded and pointed to the first-grade classroom. "She’s in the classroom."

"Okay, thank you."

Watching Yang Lijiong lead her subordinate towards the classroom, Jiang Qing thought for a moment before turning around and heading back to the school as well.

Hearing the singing from the classroom, Yang Lijiong didn’t rashly interrupt. Instead, she stood in the hallway, looking into the room through the window.

’She has the looks of a sweet, gentle girl, but her personality is so sharp and sour.’

’Lu Cheng actually married such an ordinary woman.’

Her confidante had already dug up all the dirt on Jiang Moli for her.

"What is she doing? It’s one thing to teach singing without sheet music, but she’s not even writing down the notes."

Fan Qiuyun found Jiang Moli extremely displeasing, and by extension, she looked down on her teaching methods as well.

"Teacher Jiang doesn’t know anything about music to begin with. The school doesn’t have a music teacher at the moment, so she’s just a temporary substitute."

Seeing Yang Lijiong turn to look at her, Jiang Qing quickly said, "You must be from the performance troupe, right? I heard at noon that the troupe was coming to give a performance for us. Welcome!"

’That’s more like it. This is the kind of treatment we in the performance troupe deserve.’

’So what does that Jiang Moli have to be so arrogant about!’

’Just because she married a capable man, she really thinks she’s all that!’

Fan Qiuyun found Jiang Qing a tiny bit more agreeable. "Are you also a teacher at this school?"

"Yes, my surname is Jiang."

"Your surname is also Jiang? You’re not related to Jiang Moli, are you?"

"Yes, she’s my stepsister..."

The students in the classroom were distracted by the voices in the hallway. They all turned to look at the three women, and no one was looking at the blackboard anymore!

Jiang Moli walked to the classroom door, a faint, unreadable smile on her face. "Why don’t you come in, have a seat, and we can all chat?"
