Chapter 726: Chapter 0726: Breaking Face 3_1

Bai Xue had been repeatedly defeated by the indomitable Feng Qingxue, and had learned her lesson. She would not directly argue with Su Family’s matriarch, instead, she turned to the crowd that gathered and lamented, "All of you heard that, didn’t you? She would say and think such things even in public. You can imagine how painful and difficult my days are in their home, I’m utterly isolated and helpless!"

"Why is it always about Su Family’s matters?" All the onlookers couldn’t help but harbor the same thought.

After hearing Bai Xue’s words, Su Family’s matriarch suddenly realized the presence of the crowd. Her face turned a horrible mixture of green and red. In panic she said, "Don’t listen to her rambling! She’s just unsatisfied with us because she thinks Su Junlin is not good enough for her!"

"Not good enough?" Bai Xue laughed sarcastically. "If I did not consider him good enough, would I have complied with the military’s arrangement and tolerated your torment?"

Even if she had always looked down on Su Junlin, she would not admit it now.

She wiped away her tears, then continued in a whimpering tone, "Comrade Su Junlin and I share a deep revolutionary bond, but due to our different duties, we live afar. The military discipline is strict. I am a soldier, and I live, eat, practice, and perform alongside my comrades. Dear leaders, can you hear what my mother-in-law is saying? Accusing me of dubious relations? Isn’t she just asking for trouble? Isn’t it well-known that the military has strict management in terms of lifestyle? Will I be foolish enough to rush into a previous mistake?"

Shortly after Liu Hongxiu sent her mother-in-law to go after Bai Xue, she remembered her mother-in-law’s infamous reputation for her loose lips back in their hometown. Worried about a quarrel attracting the crowd’s attention, she hurriedly went out after confirming Su Ping and Su An were watched over by the security guard.

Seeing so many people surrounding her mother-in-law and Bai Xue, Liu Hongxiu’s vision darkened.

Upon reaching the crowd and hearing Bai Xue’s words, Liu Hongxiu felt even more embarrassed. She parted the crowd and said, "Let’s disperse, let’s disperse. This is just minor family conflict, there’s no need for all these accusations."

On seeing Liu Hongxiu, Su Family’s matriarch was like a child finding her backbone, "Hongxiu, come quickly, listen to her grievances against our family!"

"Enough, mom, say no more." Despite her underlying embarrassment from being mocked behind her back, Liu Hongxiu adopted an authoritative tone towards Bai Xue, "Bai Xue, you know mom is getting old, and she can’t help but to be talkative. Her intention isn’t bad, she’s just looking out for our family, so please try to be more understanding."

"Understanding? You want me to be understanding towards you, but have you ever shown any understanding towards me?" Bai Xue was ready to fight to the end, "Just because her intention isn’t bad, she gets to insult, scold, and trample over me? If her intention was bad, wouldn’t I be doomed?"

"How could you say such things? When did we ever not understand you? Isn’t mom taking care of your children?"

Liu Hongxiu frowned, her heart filled with anger but she restrained herself from saying anything.

Bai Xue laughed coldly, "Taking care? Stop making yourself high and mighty to make a fool of yourself. Look at what the kids have become under your care. I can’t bear with it any longer. No matter what pleasant words you say, they mean nothing to me now."

Liu Hongxiu reached out to pull her, "Come home with me. Whatever dissatisfaction you have, we can solve it amongst ourselves."

Bai Xue immediately retreated three steps backward, clutching her handbag and military flask tightly. "I’m not going home, I’m going back to the military. I’m afraid if I go home, I’ll be devoured! You can do whatever you want, you can raise the children however you want, it has nothing to do with me!"

She wouldn’t be so foolish as to return to a place where she was completely helpless.
