She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Sister-in-law, It’s Really My Sister-in-law

Xu Qigang thought for a moment, nodded and said, “I understand!” He then grabbed a piece of clothing and headed out the door to the hospital.

Guo Siming had this suggestion, probably because he didn’t want to take responsibility, not because the medical level at the team headquarters couldn’t keep up.

Meng Ping was the son of the Provincial Rescue Center Chairman and the grandson of the old President. It seems that everyone was afraid of taking responsibility, so it was left to him to personally take charge of the situation.

Even in his War Wolf Rescue Team, there was the possibility of getting beaten up, and now he was very curious about who had the courage to do so.

The three-day holiday flashed by, and the next day, Sheng Ning got up early, as usual, did half an hour of yoga, then washed up and went to the canteen for breakfast.

...

In the morning, there were steamed buns with porridge, and as she served herself, Zhao Fengshou spotted her and stealthily stuffed an extra bun into her bowl. Sheng Ning had not eaten the night before, so her stomach was growling with hunger, and she gave a grateful smile.

“Eat more, you’re so thin.”

“Thank you!”

Sheng Ning, holding her food box, walked toward the table where the Song and Dance Troupe sat, only to be caught off guard by a loud voice from behind calling out, “Sister-in-law, it really is you, sister-in-law!”

The canteen instantly erupted into noise, as comrades looked over with bright, keen eyes toward Liu Chun.

Liu Chun was Captain Xu’s personal guard, so if he was calling someone sister-in-law, then eight or nine times out of ten it was Captain Xu’s wife!

At that moment, in the canteen, only the women from the General Union Dance Troupe were present. Could it be… could it actually be a comrade from the Song and Dance Troupe?

Sheng Ning recognized the voice, but continued walking without pausing.

Liu Chun ran up in just a few strides, excitedly shouting with a loud voice, “Sister-in-law, it really is you! I thought my eyes were deceiving me! When did you get here? Why didn’t you go see Captain Xu?”

There! She really was Captain Xu’s wife.

Immediately, the canteen filled with the clamor of pots and pans, and some people almost lost their balance and fell over.

The female comrades from the Song and Dance Troupe also widened their eyes in astonishment, staring at Sheng Ning in disbelief. Some of them shifted their gaze from the initial disdain to a growing sense of sympathy.

Such a young girl, marrying the Living Yama – what was she thinking!

They had been envious of how pretty Sheng Ning was, thinking she would surely marry into a big family compound. But to think that she had married the Living Yama, whose origins were from the countryside, so quietly.

Such a waste of her beauty; they would never envy her again.

It was then that Sheng Ning realized Liu Chun was calling her. She pointed at her own nose in astonishment, her eyes wide as autumn lakes. “You… you’re calling me?”

“Yes!” Liu Chun, completely oblivious to the trouble he had stirred up, excitedly continued, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Now that you have Old Man Xu watching your back, our Captain is bound to yield.” Though Captain Xu might seem cold on the surface, he was actually very filial.

“What are you talking about?” Why did she feel like she couldn’t keep up with the conversation?

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be shy!”

Sheng Ning was speechless. Did she look shy? She was clearly astonished!

“Sheng Ning, you got married?” Wu Youli asked in disbelief, “And to Captain Xu?”

“Impossible!” Qin Cuifen stood in the crowd and loudly objected. Her voice had hardly fallen when those around her disagreed.

“Why would it be impossible?”

“That’s right, what’s wrong with our Captain?”

“Please! Can you find a more manly man than our Captain?”

Qin Cuifen turned red with embarrassment. She didn’t mean it that way; she just felt that Sheng Ning was too superficial and stupid, definitely not a match for Xu Qigang.

But her unintended remark had already offended people, and speaking further now would only make things worse. Afraid to voice her true thoughts, Qin Cuifen could only put on a pitiful face, guiltily saying, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that, Captain Xu is the hero in my eyes. I…”
