The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 187 - 153: A Fierce Confrontation
Chapter 187: Chapter 153: A Fierce Confrontation
The most infuriating thing was that she would deliberately rant loudly, making the military wives in the family quarters shoot her disdainful looks every time they saw her, causing a shameful Zhou Yuwei to flee in panic. Knowing that Chunhua had gone back to her hometown, Zhou Yuwei had once laughed and clapped her hands in the dormitory, singing happily every day.
Unexpectedly, that damned girl was still in Shanghai, and even working at the City Hospital, which was utterly unreasonable.
"Her medical and nursing skills are excellent, so she stayed at the Second City Hospital and has been working there for almost two years now." Lan Tian patted the bed beneath him, "These days, I’ve stayed here to take care of Brother Junhua. Later, you guys bring me the bed sheets, and I’ll sleep in this bed tonight."
"What? You’re sleeping here?" Zhou Yuwei looked up at Lan Tian in shock and screamed out loud.
Lan Tian looked back at her, her gaze cold, "Why, can’t I sleep here?"
Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan both looked at her with the same cold, expressionless eyes, as if asking her why Lan Tian couldn’t stay here.
What else could it be? Of course, she doesn’t like it.
Damn, Zhou Yuwei suddenly realized she had overreacted, arousing their suspicion.
"Aren’t you studying in Shanghai?" she forced herself to calm down, pulled at the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and smiled awkwardly, "If I remember correctly, you’re in your senior year this year, right? This semester is your last, and you’re preparing for university entrance exams! If you stay in the hospital to take care of the... battalion commander,"
The words ’Junhua’ lingered on her tongue. Seeing Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan’s dark faces, she struggled to swallow the words and continued, "Camp Commander Mo’s condition is rather bad, as you can see. He can’t be left alone for now, we don’t know how long it will be before he wakes up. If you stay here day and night to take care of him, when will you have time to study? You shouldn’t delay your studies, otherwise all three years of hard work would be wasted."
Listen, every sentence was considering for Lan Tian.
Despite clearly knowing Zhou Yuwei had ulterior motives, Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan, feigning ignorance, still found Zhou Yuwei’s words reasonable.
Lan Tian looked at Zhou Yuwei, curved her lips into a smirk that was not quite a smile, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Of course, she should return to Shanghai and never appear in front of Mo Junhua again – these thoughts Zhou Yuwei dared only keep to herself.
"This is the Military District Hospital, and Camp Commander Mo is a national hero. His condition is very much a concern for the senior leadership of the hospital; it’s a critical case the hospital is treating. You can rest assured that he’s in good hands here, especially with a dedicated nurse taking care of him."
"Is that so?" Lan Tian glanced indifferently at Zhou Yuwei, "Miss Zhou seems very familiar with these regulations, as if you’re not here for the first time. The nurse you mentioned, who’s specially taking care of Brother Junhua, I haven’t seen her. We’ve been here for some time. If you say that nurse left just as we arrived, she should have returned by now."
Zhou Yuwei: "..."
She’s always there, just can’t say it.
"Then you..." Zhou Yuwei looked eagerly at Lan Tian, debating whether to leave or stay, wanting a clear answer.
Lan Tian stood up and walked to Mo Junhua’s bedside, pulled a stool over, and sat down with her left elbow propping her chin and her right index finger placed on Mo Junhua’s forehead, slowly tracing the outline of his brow, "Miss Zhou seems very concerned about my affairs!"
Who cares about your affairs? She’s afraid that Lan Tian being here will ruin her plans. Her gaze landed on Mo Junhua’s face on that fair finger, wishing she could dash forward and snap it off.
Words reckless, behavior sloppy, what did Mo Junhua see in her?
Lan Tian’s bold speech and actions once again stunned Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan. The Camp Commander’s Wife usually gave them the impression of being noble, aloof, like a cold and distant fairy, only to be admired from afar and not trifled with. Unexpected... The only word they could think of was ’fierce’. Fittingly fierce, beyond their reach.
"I grew up with Brother Junhua, childhood sweethearts, innocent companions," Lan Tian rolled her eyes and pursed her lips, spouting insincere sweet nothings, lucky that Su Qing and the others were behind her and couldn’t see her rolling her eyes as she spoke.
How were they childhood sweethearts? How were they innocent companions? Lan Tian couldn’t imagine; her memories seemed filled only with schemes on how to mess up Mo Junhua.
"Our relationship is something outsiders can’t understand. Brother Junhua is a very special person to me," Lan Tian sighed deeply, "Education is important, and if I miss the college entrance exam this year, there’s always next year. But there’s only one Brother Junhua. If he’s gone, he’s irreplaceable. That’s why I want to stay in the hospital, to accompany him until he wakes up."
Touched by Lan Tian’s confession, Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan had tears welled up in their eyes, admiringly looking at Lan Tian, banging their military boots together to salute her, then glanced back at Zhou Yuwei with various condemning looks, questioning why she always ruined the moments between the Camp Commander and his wife.
Zhou Yuwei nearly choked on her rage, her face turning livid; she was being kind, worried about disrupting her studies. When did she say studies were more important than Mo Junhua? Don’t twist her words, please.
And you two, are you idiots? Can’t you hear she’s intentionally slandering her?
Can’t take it anymore, she was about to lose her mind, she couldn’t stay in the same room with this hypocritical woman. She needed to go out, find someone. That’s right, Chu Yang, yes, she must find Chu Yang to deal with this woman urgently, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
"I want to quietly accompany Brother Junhua for a while, don’t let anyone disturb me."
Then looking at Su Qing and the others, Jiang Xiaoshan dragged Su Qing, who still wanted to talk to Lan Tian, outside, and assured Lan Tian as he turned back, "Sister-in-law, rest assured, I’ll stand guard outside and make sure no outsiders disturb your time with the Commander." His gaze swept towards Zhou Yuwei indicating who the outsider was.
"That, Nurse Zhou, let’s go! Hehe," he smiled sincerely, not forgetting to pull Zhou Yuwei out before leaving.
"Then I’m leaving, take good care of Camp Commander Mo." Zhou Yuwei pulled at the corner of her mouth, turned around and left, not giving Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan another look.
After the three of them left, Jiang Xiaoshan moved a chair to the entrance of the hospital room, sat down with his arms folded, looking very much like he meant to stand guard.
