Chapter 1600: I Didn't Do Anything to Her, So Why Should I Apologize?

As soon as Fu Yan Cheng entered the courtyard, he moved close to Liu Chuxue: "Were you bullied today?"

Liu Chuxue was stunned by these words, then immediately understood his meaning: "Who told you?"

Fu Yan Cheng picked up Le Bao, who had been staring at him, from the bamboo mat: "Daughter, did you miss Dad?"

He even tried to use his stubble to prick his daughter's face.

Just then, his wife raised her voice: "A child's face is too tender; don't prick her with your beard."

Fu Yan Cheng had to stop his action, looking at the giggling daughter in his arms: "Mom says you can't prick your little face with a beard, yet you're still laughing."

After teasing the daughter for a while, he used his foot to push a wooden stool over, sat beside Liu Chuxue: "Did Xu Weilai trouble you?"

"How did you know?"

"When I returned, people in the small square were discussing this matter."

Liu Chuxue stopped her work: "What is your relationship with her?"

Seeing his wife's serious face, Fu Yan Cheng's survival instinct kicked in: "Wife, I have no relationship with her at all. I don't plan to let this slide either. In a moment, we'll go to Commander Xu's place; we must clarify this face-to-face."

Liu Chuxue naturally believed him, but since the person had bullied her, she certainly wouldn't let Fu Yan Cheng off easy: "If you had no relationship with her, could she have come to my door to block me?"

Fu Yan Cheng, seeing her speak this way, grew anxious: "Wife, let's not wait; let's go there right now and ask if she's sick in the head?"

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at him: "Why the rush? I never said I didn't believe you."

Fu Yan Cheng couldn't even hold Le Bao anymore; he put the child back on the bamboo mat, turned, and squatted before Liu Chuxue: "Wife, I really have very little interaction with her, and I truly don't know what madness she's having."

Just as he finished speaking, he thought of something: "Could she be standing up for someone else?"

Liu Chuxue frowned directly: "Why does this matter get more confusing the more it's sorted out?"

"Do you mean there's someone else involved in this?"

"I heard before that Xu Weilai gets along well with the niece of Division Commander Guan's wife. Today's incident..."

He spoke until he realized, in his haste, he had let the words slip, but fortunately, he had mentioned Yu Chunmei to Liu Chuxue before.

He cleared his throat lightly and said: "You know, I mentioned Yu Chunmei to people before. She and Xu Weilai grew up playing together. Perhaps today's incident was just her trying to stand up for Yu Chunmei, but you ignored her, so she's probably even angrier."

Liu Chuxue raised her eyes to look at him: "You seem to know them quite well."

Fu Yan Cheng grew even more anxious; how did the more he explained, the more serious the problem became: "Wife, heaven and earth are my witness, I know nothing about them at all; I only know these things from occasionally hearing people discuss them."

Liu Chuxue saw the sweat on his forehead from his anxiety and laughed: "Look how anxious you are; you're even sweating."

Fu Yan Cheng took the handkerchief she handed him: "Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't believe me? Otherwise, how wronged would I be?"

As the two were talking, they heard someone laughing outside the courtyard.

One looked up to the outside, the other turned to look outside.

Fu Yan Cheng stood up quickly, rendered a standard military salute: "Commander, why have you come over?"

Seeing him like this, Commander Xu smiled faintly: "If I didn't come over, where would I see that you have this side?"

Liu Chuxue stood up as well: "Greetings, Commander."

Commander Xu turned to look at Xu Weilai following behind him: "Hurry over and apologize to Comrade Xiao."

Xu Weilai looked unwilling: "I didn't do anything to her; why should I apologize to her?"
