Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2069: Chapter 2063: Intolerable

”You never know! But you see, Commander Ning is due to retire next year. When there’s no one to back him, who knows how long he can hold on as a regiment leader?”

Liao Ting’s words carried a vague implication that made people imagine endlessly, ”Whatever, it’s hard to say. Anyway, he’s not free now! Still carrying a stigma on him! Let’s see if he can clear that up!”

”Could it be that he colluded with someone else to steal intelligence and sell it for money or something?”

”Hey! Xiaohong! What nonsense are you spouting? Blabbering nonsense! If someone hears you, they’ll report you!”

These words were somewhat fierce, startling everyone.

Liao Ting wasn’t afraid of anything: ”If you stand upright, you’re not afraid of a crooked shadow! If he didn’t do it, why shouldn’t people talk?”

An Hao couldn’t listen any longer, she walked straight toward the group.

The group was chatting quietly and lively, and as they looked up, they suddenly found An Hao approaching.

Leaving wasn’t an option, nor was staying. For a moment, they were all stuck in place, with awkward expressions on their faces.

”Everyone’s here!” An Hao smiled, but the smile appeared somewhat cold, not reaching her eyes, ”I hear you’re having a lively chat! Why are you talking about our Qin Jian?”

”No, no!”

”Dr. An, you heard wrong! We weren’t saying anything!”

An Hao didn’t usually make appearances, but everyone in the compound knew her.

Because of the heart surgery she did in collaboration with Yan Ye, her story was published in various major newspapers.

So a lot of people knew her.

But more knew her for how she dealt with Qin Jian’s shameless foster mother.

Because of this, everyone dared not provoke her easily.

When speaking to her, they were always polite and respectful.

Plus, being the daughter-in-law of Commander Ning gave her an identity that deterred idle gossip.

”Are you suggesting I have a hearing problem? This voice could be heard from a hundred meters away, do you think I wouldn’t hear it?” An Hao’s lips curled, though her words weren’t harsh, they were still uncomfortable to hear, ”In the future, if you want to know anything about Qiang Jian, feel free to ask me directly. There’s no need to speculate behind my back.”

”We won’t.”

”We were just chatting casually, we definitely won’t talk about it anymore, you can be assured, Dr. An.”

”Oh, what’s the big deal? Just chatting around, and suddenly it’s about Qin Jian, so what? Can’t we talk about it?” Liao Ting couldn’t stand An Hao.

”Yes, I do have a small mind like that! I just can’t tolerate others gossiping about my family behind my back!” An Hao’s chilly gaze fixed on Liao Ting’s face, her smile widening, ”If you enjoy being the subject of gossip so much, why not share your own stories? For instance, what exactly did you do last night to have Commissioner Wang chasing you all over? Others may have been too far to hear, but I heard it loud and clear!”

After hearing An Hao’s words, Liao Ting’s face immediately fell, her teeth gritted loudly, and her eyes nearly sparking: ”What lies are you saying to tarnish my and Wang Zhong’s reputation!”

Though Wang Zhong did hit her often, last night’s incident truly did not happen.

”You know best whether it happened or not! I don’t need to say more!” An Hao’s smile deepened as her gaze lingered on Liao Ting’s face for a moment before turning away and strolling leisurely toward home.
