Chapter 410 - 27: The First Fire After Awakening_2
Lin Xiaoguai didn’t feel angry, just truly disgusted. She raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, "I heard your partner will take part in the military evaluation next month?"
The other party was stunned. She said amiably, "I heard from my husband Shen Chi that he’s responsible for this evaluation? Don’t worry, I’ll remember to mention it to him."
The woman shivered at her words and stiffly said, "That, that would be too much trouble for you."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguai remained expressionless, she cried, "Today I was gossiping unnecessarily. Mrs. Shen, please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me."
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t intend to press further. She smiled slightly and said, "What are you talking about, Mrs. Chen? We all live in the same compound, there’s no need for such formalities."
As she watched the other woman leave, Lin Xiaoguai rubbed her temples, tiredly wondering if she had previously come across as too easy-going? To the point where even a Junior General’s wife would dare to mock her.
"Tired?" Shen Chi, seeing Lin Xiaoguai resting on the sofa with her eyes closed, tenderly embraced her and kissed her forehead, saying, "I always said I’d handle this, yet you insist on being strong."
Lin Xiaoguai shook her head. It wasn’t about her being strong, but rather that she had come to a realization.
The military compound she currently lived in was different from the old district in Shanghai in her previous life. In the old district, she could afford to be detached and kind to everyone as there were no intersecting interests. However, such an approach wouldn’t work in the military compound, where her husband and many others had mutual interests. With Shen Chi’s position in the military, she could indeed live worry-free, but only if she first intimidated those people so they wouldn’t assume she was soft, even if they made a few snide remarks in her presence.
