MWSB -Chapter 9 He’s Seriously a Double-Standard Jerk

That whole string of accusations left all of Zhou Heshan’s brothers utterly
stunned.

They had originally followed along secretly because they wanted to see what their
deputy battalion commander’s fiancée looked like. Who would have thought they would end up
overhearing such explosive gossip?!

Liu Qingyue sneered inwardly. Just like in her previous life, this man had said the
exact same thing.

With his abilities, there was no way he didn’t know that plenty of people were
secretly watching. Even if he hadn’t noticed those who were spying on them, there were still people
nearby.

He had deliberately said those words in such an undisguised manner because he wanted
to completely ruin her reputation.

In this era, telling people that a female comrade had been touched all over by
another man was no different from forcing her to die.

While Liu Qingyue was still thinking about this, the other men were already looking
at her with shocked expressions.

They all assumed that she had been fooling around with another man.

Zhou Heshan really had calculated everything well. He only said that she had been
touched all over by a man, but deliberately left out the fact that she had fallen into the water.

She turned her head and glanced at Liu Wanwan, but Liu Wanwan immediately avoided her
gaze.

She had probably written a letter to Zhou Heshan immediately after the
incident.

The two of them were in cahoots!

Liu Wanwan’s gaze was evasive. Seeing the way those men were looking at her,
Liu Qingyue slapped her across the face without hesitation.

Everyone was stunned.

Then Liu Qingyue stepped toward her, one step at a time.

“Have you already been involved with my fiancé for a long
time?”

Liu Wanwan had originally been planning to sit back and enjoy the show. It had indeed
been her who wrote to Zhou Heshan and told him everything. She had thought that once she arrived here,
everything would unfold exactly as she had planned.

When Liu Qingyue had turned around and looked at her just now, she had indeed felt
guilty, which was why she had avoided her gaze.

She had been preparing to watch the drama unfold, never expecting that she would be
the one getting slapped.

The slap left her completely dazed. Zhou Heshan hurried over and immediately stood in
front of Liu Wanwan. His brows furrowed, and his face was filled with impatience as he snapped, “Liu
Qingyue, have you gone crazy?”

“Why did you hit Wanwan?”

Looking at the two of them, Liu Qingyue curled her lips into a bitter, miserable
smile.

“The way you two are acting, you definitely have something going on,
don’t you?”

“You’re even calling her ‘Wanwan’?”

The more Liu Qingyue spoke, the more she wanted to laugh. A mocking smile appeared at
the corners of her lips.

“With the way you two are behaving, not even a ghost would believe that
there’s nothing going on between you!”

The two of them immediately realized that their behavior just now had indeed looked
inappropriate, so they quickly stepped away from each other.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” After putting some distance between
them, Zhou Heshan turned around and accused Liu Qingyue instead. “She’s practically my younger
sister. There’s nothing strange about me calling her that. You were the one who first failed to uphold
proper conduct as a woman. I’m only marrying her because I want to uphold the marriage arrangement our
parents made.”

“If your body hadn’t been touched all over by another man, would I have
switched brides? Stop spouting nonsense and slandering our innocence. You’re the one who has lost your
innocence now!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue’s gaze swept across the faces of all the men
under Zhou Heshan’s command.

The group of brothers were completely dumbfounded.

It was one shocking reversal after another!

At first, when Zhou Heshan said that Liu Qingyue had been touched all over by another
man, they had thought she was a woman of loose morals. Then she had slapped her own younger sister and
accused her of having an affair with their deputy battalion commander.

Holy crap, this was getting exciting!

“The reason I was touched by another man was because Liu Wanwan, who is
standing behind you, pushed me into the lake. Then I was rescued by someone. When he was rescuing me, that
man did indeed have to touch me.”

“As for what you said about him kissing me, that was because he was performing
CPR on me. At the time, I even told the villagers right in front of everyone that you would definitely
understand. After all, you’re a deputy battalion commander in the Navy. There’s no way you
wouldn’t even know what CPR is, right? It should be one of the courses you’re all required to
learn, shouldn’t it?”

“Don’t you think it’s all a little too coincidental? I was pushed
into the lake by my own younger sister, then rescued by a strange man, and my reputation was
ruined.”

“Then I came here to join you with the army, and my younger sister insisted on
coming with me. Something happened so far away, yet it has only been such a short time and you already know
about it. And now you want to switch the marriage—and the person you want to marry just happens to be
my younger sister, who insisted on coming with me to the island.”

Liu Qingyue walked toward Zhou Heshan step by step.

“The reason this could happen so coincidentally is definitely because you two
have something going on between you. My dear little sister wants to marry you, so she pushed me into the
water and then created all these problems, didn’t she?”

“I can’t swim. If I fell into the water, I would either drown to death or
be rescued by a man and lose my chastity. Then you two could use that as an excuse to call off my marriage
arrangement and get together. My reputation would be completely ruined. I might even be too ashamed to face
anyone and end up killing myself!”

After saying this, Liu Qingyue began crying pitifully.

She had started acting.

“My life is just too miserable, isn’t it? I was clearly already engaged,
yet you still schemed against me like this. I went through so much hardship just to come all the way to this
island, only for my fiancé to say such cruel things to me!”

“Now my fiancé and my own sister are involved with each other, and my
fiancé is deliberately twisting the fact that I was rescued by someone. You’re trying to
completely destroy my reputation! You’re trying to force me to die!”

Liu Qingyue’s voice grew louder and louder, attracting quite a few people who
came over to watch the spectacle.

Liu Wanwan and Zhou Heshan both panicked when they heard this.

At first, Zhou Heshan’s plan had been quite simple. Once Liu Qingyue arrived,
he would bring up the matter directly. With so many soldiers watching, perhaps Liu Qingyue would realize
that she had no choice but to back down.

Who would have thought that Liu Qingyue simply wouldn’t play by the
rules?

He remembered that when they were still in the village, Liu Qingyue had never been
this loud and dramatic. Whenever something happened, she would only bottle it up inside.

Under normal circumstances today, she should have felt devastated and then either
threatened to kill herself or actually attempted to do so.

In the end, everyone would look down on her, and she would jump into the sea and kill
herself.

This was an island, and there were plenty of soldiers around. It wouldn’t be
easy for her to die by suicide here, since someone would probably notice and rescue her.

But how had things ended up completely different from what he had imagined?

“I went through so much hardship to come all the way here, only for you to tell
me that you want to marry my sister! How can you possibly face me after doing this?”

“I can’t believe that when we were still in the village, I actually spoke
up for you! The soldier who rescued me was worried about my reputation, and I even told him that you were in
the Navy, so you would surely understand reason. I said that it was better for a fiancée to be
rescued than for her to lose her life!”

“You really have no conscience! I think you two have been involved with each
other for a long time. Maybe you even planned all of this together ages ago!”

Liu Qingyue cried even harder, and some of the soldiers around them could no longer
stand listening to it.

“I also think what this girl said makes sense. She simply fell into the lake
and was rescued. When someone is rescuing another person, it’s inevitable that there will be some
physical contact. We’re Navy soldiers. If we saw a female comrade fall into the lake, our first
thought would obviously be to save her!”

“I think she’s right too. It’s not like we can just stand there and
watch someone die for the sake of protecting her reputation, right?”

“We’re all Navy soldiers. If we saw someone fall into the water,
we’d definitely rescue them too.”

“Being rescued shouldn’t be a problem, should it? As long as his
fiancée is safe, isn’t that what matters? Why is the battalion commander saying that his
fiancée has lost her chastity and that he wants to change brides? And why did his
fiancée’s sister come all the way here with her? There’s obviously something fishy going
on, isn’t there?”

“It’s already strange that she came here voluntarily. Usually,
wouldn’t an elder accompany her? Why did the sisters come together instead? It feels like she has
ulterior motives. Could it really be that she was already involved with our battalion commander before
this?”

……

The soldiers began talking among themselves, one remark after another, and Zhou
Heshan developed a splitting headache from listening to them.

He had already made an agreement with Liu Wanwan that this time, once he came here,
he would definitely break off his engagement with Liu Qingyue and then marry her.

He absolutely had to marry Liu Wanwan because the relationship between the two of
them could no longer be dragged out.

Although everyone had already guessed what was really going on, as long as he refused
to admit anything and stubbornly insisted that he was simply conservative by nature, he could still justify
changing the marriage arrangement.

At most, he would just have to endure a few comments from the soldiers under his
command.

He closed his eyes for a moment before gritting his teeth and glaring at Liu Qingyue,
who was still putting on a pitiful act.

“Liu Qingyue, can you stop making a scene?”

“Even if all you did was fall into the water and get rescued, my family still
can’t accept it. My family has always been rather conservative. Whether it’s my parents or me,
we all think the same way. I really can’t marry you anymore.”

Zhou Heshan repeated the same thing once again.

Liu Qingyue rolled her eyes inwardly.

What did he mean by having a “conservative family”?

If they were really so conservative, then why had he gotten involved with Liu Wanwan
before the two of them were even married?

Disgusting!

He was seriously such a double-standard asshole—one thing to your face and
another behind your back.
