Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 250: Going to Art Ensemble to Seek an Explanation for His Wife
"Oh, yes! The leader is indeed a good person! This is also because the leader doesn’t have a wife and children..." The old lady’s sarcastic agreement was evident.
The words she didn’t finish were clearly meant to mock, but Su Yijia and Qin Kaize were clueless. A subordinate who had transitioned to civilian life, along with his family, actually had the audacity to rely on them.
But before she could finish, Su Yijia acted as if she didn’t understand anything.
"Old lady, you better go back now. I still need to tidy up the house," she issued an even clearer ultimatum this time, her tone becoming more assertive.
The old lady was infuriated, but faced with the insincere smile in front of her, she didn’t dare to throw a tantrum. She just walked away with a black face, holding her basket of vegetables without looking back.
"Jiajia, why did that person seem unfriendly just now? Did Ze have any conflicts with her before?" Grandma Lin asked with some concern after Su Yijia came back inside.
After careful consideration, Su Yijia shook her head and said, "How could a political commissar have any conflicts with her? I think that old lady, both overtly and covertly, feels like we’re taking advantage of Uncle Xia. It’s as if they consider Uncle Xia’s belongings as their own."
"Huh?" Grandma Lin didn’t quite understand what that meant.
"It means they can’t stand it when others benefit from something they haven’t, feeling as if their own belongings have been taken by others," Su Yijia explained. She was used to all kinds of oddities now. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she was also an oddity.
"If it’s hard to get along with them, then just avoid them. We’ll only stay for two months and then go back," Grandma Lin had encountered many such people on the farm and genuinely didn’t want her granddaughter to suffer.
Even if Ze were to return to the team later, there was no reason for her granddaughter to be treated unfairly.
"Grandma, don’t worry, how could I let myself be bullied? Even if I’m willing, Uncle Xia and Kaize wouldn’t allow it," Su Yijia reassured hurriedly, afraid of upsetting her grandparents.
Seeing their expressions improve slightly, she went back to the room with the bedsheets to lay them out.
In fact, Qin Kaize was indeed not the kind of man who would let his wife be mistreated.
As soon as they left the courtyard, he immediately headed to the small flat building on the square.
"Boss, you’re going the wrong way. The living quarters aren’t over there," Gao Huabin hurriedly caught up.
"Let’s go to Art Ensemble first," Qin Kaize’s tone was slightly chilly.
It took Gao Huabin two seconds to realize what he was going to do. Although he felt that this was somewhat of an overreaction, he knew how much their boss cared about his wife, so he didn’t dare to say anything to dissuade him. He could only follow obediently.
As they passed the training ground, many people showed shocked expressions when they saw Qin Kaize, but he didn’t have time to catch up with them.
When he entered the small flat building of Art Ensemble, the people who were still practicing dancing on stage stopped.
"What are you all doing? Are you all idiots?" The leader was a little angry.
She had her back to the door, so she didn’t notice Qin Kaize’s arrival. But when she saw all the female comrades staring straight at the door, she realized something was wrong. Turning around, she was startled to see the man in the wheelchair slowly approaching.
"Captain Qin, why are you back?"
Before Qin Kaize had an accident, he was a prominent figure in their Art Ensemble. Among the seventeen female comrades in the troupe, half of them wanted to marry him and become the wife of the troupe leader. There were constant small frictions behind the scenes and on stage. It wasn’t until he was transferred that their troupe finally calmed down. Now, looking at Qin Kaize suddenly, she immediately remembered the days of dealing with those messes.
"I’m here to report that Comrade Wang Futong publicly insulted my wife as soon as we arrived on the island today, and then left without apologizing. I need her to publicly apologize sincerely to my wife. Otherwise, I will report this to the superiors of Art Ensemble. Without any prior communication, she insulted my wife in public, which is an insult to the family of a hero and must be severely punished." Qin Kaize’s voice, filled with anger, echoed in every corner of the small flat building.
The faces of the female comrades of Art Ensemble changed several colors in an instant. From shock to delight, then to disbelief, and finally filled with sourness.
Although they knew they couldn’t marry Qin Kaize since he transitioned, they had liked him for so long. They hadn’t expected to see him again one day. Even sitting in a wheelchair, it didn’t diminish his charm and demeanor.
But even if they hadn’t thought about marrying him again, hearing that he had married someone else within just two months and was now standing up for his wife made their hearts twist with bitterness.
Qin Kaize couldn’t have imagined that by forcing Wang Futong to publicly apologize, he would stir up so much resentment against his wife.
"Comrade Qin, what Futong did was indeed wrong, but it’s not such a big deal. There’s no need to make it a public apology, right? After all, she’s a female comrade, and this could have a negative impact on her," the leader of Art Ensemble inwardly cursed but still had to wear a smiling face and speak up for Wang Futong.
She said that Wang Futong was usually so diligent in practicing dance, fearing that someone in the troupe would outshine her. How come she suddenly took leave today? It turned out that she saw Qin Kaize getting married and was so protective of him that she couldn’t bear it.
But what’s the use of being sour? Qin Kaize was already married, and she herself had married Captain Xue, who took Qin Kaize’s position.
Even if she was angry, Qiu Yirou had to suppress this matter. Wang Futong was not only a pillar of Art Ensemble, but her uncle was also the director of the team. Even if she promised to let Wang Futong apologize, she wouldn’t listen to her.
Not only would it damage her own reputation as the leader, but it would also offend both sides.
"She’s a female comrade, but isn’t my wife one too? My wife is even younger than her. If she can publicly insult my wife, why can’t she apologize publicly? According to Leader Qiu’s logic, my wife deserved to be scolded, right? Is this the way Art Ensemble does things? Or do you think that now I’ve transitioned, I can be dismissed at will, and my wife can be bullied at will?" Qin Kaize’s voice turned cold, chilling the atmosphere.
Qiu Yirou felt at a loss, realizing that no matter what she said, it wouldn’t be right. In the end, she could only awkwardly play the emotional card.
"Comrade Qin, you also know that Futong likes you too much, so she lost control this time. Just forgive her for the sake of her feelings for you. Moreover, she’s already married now. If you make her apologize publicly, how will she live at home in the future?"
