Chapter 1771: Chapter 1162: Seeing Through

First watch.

----------

The surgery was very successful, but Ye Meiru remained in a coma post-operation. No matter how many doubts were in her mind, Chuxia had to force herself to suppress them.

"Sister-in-law, just trust me this once. The Division Commander will definitely be okay. He sent Ye Meiru back to report because he’s worried about you..." Zhao Zhu followed closely behind Chuxia, constantly chattering.

"I’m fine..." Chuxia turned around and smiled at Zhao Zhu, "Alright, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. Go on with what you need to do, I’m going in too. This is not the time for melancholic sentiments."

"War is just like this..." Wu Jingbo, who had been silent, sighed, "Chuxia, I know no kind of advice can truly ease your mind right now, but you must force yourself to relax.

Think about why you’re here. If you lose your composure first, how can the Division Commander ever trust you? You’d really just become a burden to him then."

"I’m really fine..." Chuxia sighed reluctantly, "Why do you all think I can’t get over this? Yes, I’m worried about him, but that’s only human. If I said right now that I’m not worried about him at all, would you believe me?

However, this worry won’t affect my thinking nor make me lose my composure. You really need to believe me, I can continue working well.

If you don’t believe me, you can ask Doctor Qiao. Just now, when I was his assistant, did I let my emotions influence me? But right now, what I’m a bit worried about is, if Zhou Mikang’s team gets injured, what happens then?

I’m hoping Ye Meiru will wake up, first to get more detailed information, and second to check if the team over there can handle things, or if we need to send additional reinforcements..."

"You want to go?" Wu Jingbo frowned, "Chuxia, let your Division Commander have some peace of mind. He hopes you’ll go back, yet you don’t agree, and now you want to go to such a dangerous place, are you trying to drive him to his death intentionally?"

"I..." Chuxia’s eyes showed conflict. Yes, she knew what Wu Jingbo said was true, but waiting around was just too agonizing for her.

"Lin Chuxia..." Several people turned towards the voice, seeing Zhao Weiwei walking over with a smile. Once she stood still, she asked seriously, "I heard there’s news about the Division Commander, is that true?"

"What’s it to you?" Chuxia replied bluntly. For this woman, seeing her just made Chuxia feel disgusted. The supposed hard work and perseverance were mere facades, not withdrawing from the team but constantly finding excuses, either this hurts or that aches, aiming to evade frontline duties.

The team leader was also aware she was faking, but where’s the evidence? Her acting was too strong, appearing fragile yet pale-faced, and even staggered while walking...

"I know you don’t like me, but at times like this, here where we are, what we need to do is unite as one. It’s not just me; all the team members are concerned about the Division Commander’s safety.

After all, he’s our highest leader. If he’s safe, then everyone can feel assured. These past few days, no one has mentioned it, but it’s constantly weighing on our minds.

At such a time, maintaining morale is crucial. As the Division Commander’s wife, I hope you can set aside your prejudices and prioritize the bigger picture. That’s when we’ll truly respect you!"

"What qualifies you to represent everyone? Also..." Chuxia looked at her calmly, "I am indeed Zhou Mikang’s wife, but I am also a member of the women’s medical team. If you want to ask me about work, go ahead. Personal matters, sorry, I have no obligation to answer you."

"Look at you, still harboring prejudice, aren’t you?" Zhao Weiwei smiled helplessly, "Our concern for the Division Commander doesn’t harbor any harmful intentions. It’s not just the medical team; even soldiers from various units are all concerned about his current situation. Your words could calm everyone down, so why not? If I were you, at this time, I wouldn’t throw such a tantrum."

"Too bad you’re not me..." Chuxia smiled at her, "Really can’t see where you get your confidence, haha..."

"You..." Zhao Weiwei bit her lip, her eyes showing grievances, "What do you mean?"

"I’m not a man; that demeanor doesn’t work on me..." Chuxia sneered contemptuously, "Enough, I’ll spell it out to save us both from playing charades and wasting time.

You like Zhou Mikang, everyone can see that easily. Of course, many girls would like Zhou Mikang; whether it’s his appearance or skills, he’s indeed worthy of admiration.

However, admiring someone is one thing, inappropriate affection is another matter. He’s a father of two kids. A self-respecting girl wouldn’t always act coyly and foolishly, trying to get close.

Or perhaps your aim is to make him divorce me so you can replace me? Don’t blame me for not warning you; this is my last polite word on the matter. If you run in front of me again next time with your swagger, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"You..." Zhao Weiwei’s face was flushed with anger, "You’re unreasonable!"

"Why bother reasoning with someone like you?" Chuxia glanced at her indifferently, "If there’s nothing else, hurry up and move aside. I don’t like seeing you, understood?"

"Serves you right!" Zhao Zhu glared at Zhao Weiwei, "You don’t even look at yourself in the mirror before daring to dream wildly. The Division Commander’s heart is filled with his wife, who do you think you are?

I really don’t understand where your confidence comes from; in terms of appearance, you’re not even a tenth of his wife, and in terms of ability, you’re not even half of her.

No, you’ve got her beaten in some areas, like the skill of disguise, like shamelessness. The Division Commander’s attitude is obvious enough, how do you still have the face to show off in front of his wife?

Let me tell you, you should be thankful the Division Commander isn’t here right now. If he knew you were showing off in front of his wife, he’d definitely send you back with your head lowered forever!"

Zhao Weiwei turned around and left without a word.

"Shameless!" Zhao Zhu spat toward her back, "Disgusting!"

"This woman, I really can’t understand her..." Wu Jingbo shook his head with a bitter smile, "What is she thinking? With the Division Commander’s attitude so clear, she actually dares to act this way, hehe..."

"You guys are mistaken. It’s not that she thinks anything will happen between her and Zhou Mikang; she’s certain nothing will happen between them, so she’s using this opportunity to provoke me.

If I really fell for her trick and fought with Zhou Mikang, she’d be overjoyed. But unfortunately..." Chuxia shrugged, "I’ve lived to this age, am I somehow a dumb dog? Would I fall for her childish trap?"

"So that’s what she means?" Zhao Zhu looked enlightened, "I was wondering why, when there’s clearly no hope for her, she’d go through all this; it’s so malicious!"

"It’s actually a good thing, Bingbing doesn’t have to see her face and feel nauseous anymore..." Chuxia looked at Wu Jingbo, "Go busy yourself, I’ve got nothing here, you don’t need to worry."

"Alright." Wu Jingbo didn’t linger, heading toward his work tent.

"Sister-in-law, why do you say Bingbing doesn’t have to see Zhao Weiwei’s face and feel nauseous anymore?" Zhao Zhu looked puzzled at Chuxia, "Could it be, Zhao Weiwei might go to the front lines to find the Division Commander?"

"What’s going on in your brain?" Chuxia looked at Zhao Zhu speechlessly, "She already knows there’s nothing between her and Zhou Mikang, do you think she would take that risk?

Her coming here to provoke me is just her last effort to create some obstacles between me and him. Simply put, her mentality is, if I can’t have it, you shouldn’t have it either.

No matter if I fall for it or not, it doesn’t matter to her because she might leave with the wounded in the cars tomorrow."

"Stopped bothering, huh?"

"Nine times out of ten, yes, otherwise, what do you think she came here to meddle for?" Chuxia waved her hand, "Forget it, I’m not going to analyze her anymore, she’s leaving anyway, and she doesn’t care about anyone else’s wellbeing. Watching her here was just infuriating."

Just as Chuxia had said, Zhao Weiwei left with the wounded early the next morning.

"She’s leaving just like that?" Zhao Bingbing looked forlorn, truly surprised that the confrontation between the two ended in this way. Originally, she had come hoping to surpass the other, but now, seeing her up close, Zhao Weiwei wasn’t as outstanding as she imagined. Instead, she was a typical example of laziness and slippery behavior. And now with the opponent leaving like this, she felt her previous goal was truly laughable!

"What else do you want?" Chuxia looked at her speechlessly, "Don’t tell me you’d prefer she beat a drum and announce she’s a deserter? But I guess your so-called Yi is going to fall into her clutches again."

"Not my Yi anymore..." Zhao Bingbing rolled her eyes, "A man who can’t discern right from wrong, I wouldn’t pity him no matter what happens to him. Actually, I’d rather see him fall into Zhao Weiwei’s clutches again; only after suffering can he realize what a ridiculous choice he made back then!"

"From the sound of it, you seem to still have feelings for that Yi..." Chuxia sized her up, "This statement really carries a strong hint of jealousy..."

"If I said I forgot him entirely in an instant, I’d be lying. After all, he was the first man I liked, and he treated me well. But saying I still have feelings for him? That’s impossible. A man who betrayed me, I wouldn’t keep him in my thoughts again." Zhao Bingbing waved her hand, "I’m leaving, see you tonight."

"See you tonight." She waved, and Chuxia also headed to her work area; there were many patients these days, and they all straightened up at their posts from work till they clocked out. Therefore, separating now, unless meeting for something else, their next meeting would be at night. (To be continued.
