"Senior... you are delaying Captain Liu!" An Xiangjiao mustered up the courage to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Zhu Mengtong.
"Hold on, I canât claim that title of senior. Isnât it only those from Xilena who are qualified to address me like that?" The implication being, who exactly does An Xiangjiao think she is? For someone who comes to confront and provoke in an attempt to steal oneâs husband, Zhu Mengtong showed no desire to hold back.
An Xiangjiaoâs face turned pale. She had previously addressed Zhu Mengtong as Lieutenant Zhu, only to be dismissed with "someone who has already retired shouldnât be addressed with such a title." Now, the school is being used to undermine her background... Perhaps this senior isnât so kind after all.
However, when facing someone whoâs attempting to poach her partner, how could Zhu Mengtong afford to be gracious?
"Alright, Miss Zhu..." Although An Xiangjiao was a non-combat officer, her leave was limited and could not be wasted lightly. She was eager to continue the conversation but was dismayed by Zhu Mengtongâs nonchalant smile and words that left her feeling extremely uneasy.
"Please address me as Mrs. Liu, thank you." The position of Liu Shiyiâs wife was not something just anyone could covet. Just kidding, Zhu Mengtong had set her sights on him since her student days, how could she allow others to desire him?
An Xiangjiao had no choice but to acquiesce to this title, yet she was unable to fully admit it. "I think you must understand that your current situation is not suitable for remaining by Captain Liuâs side... Therefore, I hope you can..."
"Step down and give way? Give it to you?" Zhu Mengtong retorted with a cold laugh, "You sure have guts, going to the hospital to investigate my treatment records, who gave you that authority? Donât rush to deny it. If not for that, how would you know my situation?"
An Xiangjiao was left speechless, unable to articulate the words stuck in her throat. Itâs not that she didnât want to speak, but the imposing aura of Zhu Mengtong suppressed her. Su Jiameng noticed this and glanced slightly to the side, realizing it was telekinesis... It seems Mrs. Liuâs sore spot was hit, causing such a strong emotional reaction that the sealed telekinesis leaked out...
Indeed, although she didnât want to admit it, An Xiangjiaoâs words did strike a nerve with Zhu Mengtong. Naturally, An Xiangjiao dared not admit to abusing her authority to view Zhu Mengtongâs medical records, so she changed the subject, "Isnât it normal? Which patient with Simoles Deficiency Syndrome can have children? When I say you are delaying Captain Liu, itâs not an exaggeration..."
Zhu Mengtong and Su Jiameng both scoffed in unison. Su Jiameng understood that itâs not that patients with Simoles Deficiency Syndrome canât have children, but that the disease has a hereditary probability, especially for those triggered by Clay Ore, the hereditary probability is greater than an ordinary mutation.
Captain Liu, as an Alliance captain, holds a high rank, and many top-level personnel are optimistic about his future prospects.
If he had a child with Simoles Deficiency Syndrome or one who appeared normal but carried the genetic disorder, it would cause many troubles in the future. He could do without children, but he couldnât have a child with either of these conditions...
After undergoing a medical checkup and learning that she might pass on the disease to the next generation, this diagnosis practically killed Zhu Mengtongâs chance of having children. It wasnât even the worst part; the diagnosis also indicated that due to her bodily mutations, having kids would be particularly difficult.
This was simply adding insult to injury! After Liu Shiyi found out, he said nothing but proactively destroyed all the diagnostic records, keeping them under strict secrecy. It was unclear how An Xiangjiao managed to intercept this information...
These days, Liu Shiyi understood that Zhu Mengtong was in a bad mood, so he tried to accommodate her as much as possible, acting cautiously, fearing any sensitive nerve might be triggered. It was as if the whole world was on high alert...
Zhu Mengtong gave a cold snort and said, "You seem to be overthinking. Even if such a situation arises, it would be a challenge between us as husband and wife, naturally overcoming it through mutual effort. What does an outsider like you shouting and causing a stir mean?"
An Xiangjiao clenched her fist tighter. Zhu Mengtong seemed to realize something, with a mocking and teasing glimmer in her eyes, "Moreover, coming here to flaunt yourself, persuading me to leave Shiyi, and your reason is merely âto have childrenâ... Is that really the only value you boast of in your own eyes? Any woman can have children, why does it have to be you?"
An Xiangjiaoâs face turned pale, her usual calm facade shattered, and she blurted out, "If this news were known to the higher-ups, Miss Zhu... I suppose Captain Liu would face quite a bit of public pressure, wouldnât he? Isnât that something you care about?"
