Just as he was about to confront Liu Xiaojuan, Shen Lu stopped him.

Two years later, he took the initiative to step forward and sincerely apologize to Liu Xiaojuan.

"Xiaojuan, I'm so sorry you fell and got hurt."

Wenxin, Liu Xiaojuan, and Zhuang Xiaoting were surprised to find that Shen Lu had admitted that Zhao Jingxue had pushed the person.

Liu Xiaojuan's prepared remarks remained stuck in her throat.

Zhao Jingxue was not angry because of Shen Lu's words; she believed that there must be a reason for saying that.

"If you hurt someone, you can't just leave them without even an apology."

"His bones are broken, shouldn't we buy him some meat to help him recover?"

"I remember this Comrade Zhao is a nurse, right? Quickly bandage him up."

The people in the family compound chattered amongst themselves, expressing their indignation on behalf of Liu Xiaojuan.

Shen Lu and Zhao Jingxue exchanged a glance, and instantly understood what the other meant.

Shen Lu took the initiative to step forward and check Liu Xiaojuan's wound.

"You can't move around freely if you don't treat this wound."

"Jingxue, you can stabilize her wound, and then we'll go find a doctor."

After saying that, Zhao Jingxue stepped forward, picked out two straight fans from the basket, fixed them to Liu Xiaojuan's arm, and wrapped them around her arm with a towel.

"hiss……"

Whether it was Liu Xiaojuan's imagination or not, Zhao Jingxue's grip was unusually strong, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Seeing that she was in so much pain, Zhao Jingxue slowed down her movements.

While wrapping the towel, Zhao Jingxue gave her instructions.

"Don't touch the wound with cold water after you get home, and be very careful."

"I understand." Hearing Shen Lu's concerned voice, Liu Xiaojuan's anxious mood calmed down a lot.

Although he injured his arm, he got involved with Zhuang Xiaoting because of this incident, so his life should be pretty good from now on.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaojuan gave Zhao Jingxue a provocative look.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingxue rolled her eyes at the sky, completely unaffected by her provocation.

Zhao Jingxue slightly increased the intensity of her movements, while Shen Lu, standing to the side, asked Liu Xiaojuan.

"Xiaojuan, I rarely hear you mention your parents. What do your parents do?"

Upon hearing Shen Lu mention her parents, Liu Xiaojuan's expression became visibly flustered.

She came from a poor family and had always carefully kept it a secret from everyone. Why did Shen Lu have to bring it up in front of everyone?

Seeing that she looked strange, the residents of the surrounding residential compound also cast strange glances at her.

Under pressure, Liu Xiaojuan could only stammer out her words.

"My parents are quite busy, and I grew up with my grandparents, so I don't know them very well..."

Seeing that Liu Xiaojuan was so anxious that she didn't know where to put her other hand, Shen Lu changed the subject.

"When you pushed Zhao Jingxue just now, was she chatting with me?"

Hearing that Shen Lu didn't pursue the matter further, Liu Xiaojuan breathed a sigh of relief and answered in accordance with her words.

"She was talking to you at the time, with her back to me..."

Noticing that everyone's eyes were on her, Liu Xiaojuan spoke softer and softer.

Realizing what she had just said, Liu Xiaojuan broke out in a cold sweat.

She looked at Lu Jianguo with pleading eyes, shaking her head as she spoke.

"No, I didn't push Zhao Jingxue. Shen Lu deliberately led me to say those words."

The surrounding residents didn't buy into her act.

"If you didn't do it, how could you say it so easily?"

"We know what kind of person Jingxue is. Although she may seem cold on the surface, she has a kind heart and would never do such a thing."

"On the contrary, you're a snob, and we can see that perfectly well!"

Lu Jianguo snorted coldly, revealing the whole story in one sentence.

"You tried to push Comrade Zhao Jingxue, but she dodged it. You lost your balance and fell down, so you tried to use this to slander Comrade Shi."

Even after the truth was exposed, Liu Xiaojuan remained stubbornly defiant.

"No, I just wanted to help Zhao Jingxue up..."

"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore. I will report your serious situation to my superiors, and you can follow their instructions on how to handle it." Lu Jianguo interrupted her.

"No... Political Commissar Lu, you can't report this to your superiors! I know I was wrong, please give me another chance to live."

Liu Xiaojuan, disregarding her half-bandaged arm, knelt and crawled a few steps to Lu Jianguo, then hugged his legs and began to wail.

If they decide that she has a problem with her conduct, her life is ruined!

She never expected that lending an arm would lead to this outcome.

"Comrade Liu, if you hadn't done anything, I naturally wouldn't have reported this to my superiors so carelessly. But what you're doing now is seriously disrupting the order of the family compound."

Liu Xiaojuan collapsed to the ground, her heart filled with despair.

Her parents were capitalists who had been overthrown, so she would definitely be punished more severely than others after she committed a crime.

Wandering among the crowd, she spotted Wenxin'er and Zhuang Xiaoting standing not far away, seemingly indifferent, which completely enraged her.

Why should they force her to do these things while remaining uninvolved?

Liu Xiaojuan raised her uninjured hand, pointed at the two of them, and spoke fiercely.

"It was them! They forced me to push Zhao Jingxue down!"

Liu Xiaojuan's words no longer carried any credibility with the others, who shook their heads, thinking she was just desperate.

The two women, Wenxin and Er, sounded innocent.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We have no grudge against each other, why are you slandering us?"

"Yeah, you can't drag everyone down with you just because you did something wrong."

"And we always considered you a friend!"

"You're the ones who isolated me. If I want to continue being friends with you, the only way is to push Shen Lu or Zhao Jingxue down!" Liu Xiaojuan, in a fit of desperation, revealed the whole truth.

With a man backing her up and having won an award, Shen Lu naturally wouldn't dare to push her away.

They then set their sights on Zhao Jingxue, a helpless and isolated nurse.

Who knew she was so careless, and Shen Lu managed to trick her into revealing the truth in just a few words.

Even now, Liu Xiaojuan regrets her carelessness, not her desire to push someone down and suffer the consequences.

Lu Jianguo was too lazy to listen to her slandering others, so he asked a few women who were watching the commotion to help her go to the military hospital for treatment.

Once the bandage is done, have someone report it to the higher-ups later.

"No, I won't leave, Wenxin'er, you can't do this to me!"

Liu Xiaojuan sat on the ground, crying and making a scene, even the woman next to her felt ashamed of herself.

In the end, it was several strong women who carried her away.

As Shen Lu watched Liu Xiaojuan's departing figure, she roughly understood what was going on; what she said wasn't false.

"Everyone, you can leave now."

The captain waved his hand, dispersing the onlookers.

Xie Sili, who was not far away, had been silently observing the situation. As a newcomer, he did not rush forward to join in the fun.

He hadn't forgotten the news he'd received: the Black Tigers' sister was arrogant and domineering.

Now it seems that Shen Lu is very suspicious.
