Chi Shuyan almost cursed when she heard this jab at her father.

Her father seemed used to the man finding fault with heim. He just ignored him and said a few more words to Chi Shuyan before driving away.

The man was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he turned around to leave.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and stared at the man’s back, a cold light flashing in her eyes. Even if she wanted to make a move, this was the military district after all, so she had to figure out what was going on first.

She met Aunt Chang on the way back, and the latter immediately told her to go home with her and have dinner with the Wei family.

Chi Shuyan was about to decline, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of the man who had tried to pick a fight with her father just now.

Chi Shuyan asked curiously, “Aunt Chang, I saw my dad just now. When I sent him off, I said something inappropriate about feudal superstitions, and someone heard it. That person seems to be at odds with my dad, and said that he would report my dad to the commander over feudal superstitions. Aunt Chang, will my dad be alright? And who is that man?”

As soon as Chang Qing heard Shuyan say that it was someone who was at odds with her father, she could think of someone.

Old Chi had a good character and got along well with everyone in the military district, except for the man surnamed Fang.

If Chi Shuyan had asked about something else, Chang Qing really might not know anything. After all, there was a huge difference between a man and a woman. No matter how close she was to Old Wei, he wouldn’t tell her anything classified, let alone Old Chi.

But she knew about this. For one thing, Fang Qingyang had a rotten character; Old Wei had said so many times. Rather than improve himself, he only knew how to be jealous of Old Chi and snatch his credit.

Many people in the military district knew that Old Chi had a good character and was also very capable, which was why Commander Lu appreciated him very much.

Fang Qingyang was a level higher than Old Chi and was the vice commander. He had been waiting for Commander Lu to retire. Logically speaking, Fang Qingyang would take his place.

Fang Qingyang had long had a greedy eye on the position, and already treated it as his own. Although he didn’t get along with Chi, he wasn’t too obvious about it.

Ever since he heard about how Commander Lu appreciated Old Chi, however, Fang Qingyang probably thought that the old commander would promote Old Chi and give him the position.

How could Fang Qingyang be willing to accept that? Thus, he used a lot of cheap tricks to harm Old Chi.

Old Chi had been injured on several field training missions.

In addition, Fang Qingyang had always admired Shen Rongyin. Now that most people in the military district knew that Shen Rongyin liked Old Chi, how could Fang Qingyang accept that?

Naturally, he hated Old Chi more and more, while Old Chi was innocent. Aunt Chang felt that someone as unpleasant as Fang Qingyang would be a perfect match for that vixen Shen Rongyin.

Chi Shuyan learned from Aunt Chang that the man’s name was Fang Qingyang, and there were several reasons why he didn’t get along with her father. Thinking of how this person played tricks behind her father’s back from time to time, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

In any case, no matter how good Shen Rongyin’s reputation was outside, Chang Qing just didn’t like her. She always felt that there was something abnormal about her. Moreover, given what happened with Old Ren’s family, it would be strange for her to have a favorable impression of Shen Rongyin.

She also knew that Shen Rongyin had been looking for Shuyan recently, and she was afraid that the latter would be swayed. She said, “Yan Yan, sometimes, you don’t necessarily see the truth with your eyes. Just because a person says nice things to you doesn’t mean that they’re really nice.. Sometimes, there might be other reasons for it. It’s better for you to stay as far away as possible from people like that!”
