Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 109: Spreading Rumors

Gu Yi couldn’t help but want to laugh upon hearing this.

She didn’t make a sound; she just wanted to see what else Li Dongxiang would say about her.

"Haven’t you noticed how every time she comes back, she’s all dressed up?"

Li Dongxiang not only lowered her voice, but her body also instinctively lowered.

The military wives nearby also followed suit, lowering their bodies.

At this moment, Ye Hao and Li Yifan were just coming out of the camp and saw a group of people huddled together.

Gu Yi was standing on the side, but unlike the others, she wasn’t crouching.

Ye Hao lifted his foot and headed directly toward Gu Yi.

Li Yifan, seeing Ye Hao approaching, followed along.

Gu Yi was facing in Ye Hao’s direction, so as soon as they appeared, Gu Yi saw them.

Ye Hao was just about to call out to Gu Yi when she lifted a finger to her lips.

Ye Hao saw Gu Yi’s gesture and walked directly to her side.

"Yes, that’s right, she looks particularly nice every time."

A military wife nearby nodded in agreement.

"Don’t you wonder, a girl from the countryside, staying in the city every day, what could she be doing, coming back only once a week, and each time bringing back a lot of things? Where’s she getting the money from? And I heard someone saying they saw Gu Yi holding hands with a man on the street in the city."

Li Dongxiang added another sentence, which caused an uproar among the military wives.

"Could it be that she’s really doing something bad in the city?"

Sure enough, someone had been led astray.

"I don’t think so; she doesn’t seem like that kind of person."

Another military wife weakly voiced opposition.

"How long have you even known her? We don’t actually know what kind of person she is. Otherwise, tell me how she can live so well in the city without working, relying solely on Deputy Battalion Commander Ye’s salary?"

As soon as Li Dongxiang heard someone speaking for Gu Yi, she directly confronted that military wife.

The military wife couldn’t come up with a response.

"Truly, you know the face but not the heart. It’s a pity for such a good person like Deputy Battalion Commander Ye."

Another voice appeared.

Ye Hao and Li Yifan had clearly heard by now. It turned out these people had nothing better to do, gathering together to talk about Gu Yi behind her back.

Ye Hao’s face was very unsightly.

Li Yifan thought if he didn’t speak up there’d probably be a few people who’d get beaten up soon.

"Hmm."

As soon as Li Yifan spoke, the group was taken aback.

They looked up to see not only Li Yifan but also Ye Hao and the protagonist of their gossip, Gu Yi, were there.

Except for Li Dongxiang, everyone else looked embarrassed.

"I need to go back and make dinner, I’m leaving first."

"Me too, let’s go together."

Seeing Li Yifan and Ye Hao expressionless, the military wives lacked the courage to greet them.

They found excuses to slip away.

Ye Hao and Li Yifan just watched Li Dongxiang.

Initially, Li Dongxiang had looked somewhat smug toward Gu Yi.

But under the pressure of Li Yifan and Ye Hao, she had to stand up.

"Li Dongxiang, did you see everything you just said with your own eyes?"

Li Yifan looked at her seriously.

Ye Hao also stood sternly by.

Li Dongxiang was a bit guilty when asked that.

"I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but someone else did."

She said, as if stating a fact.

"Then call the person who did see it, and let her say these things in front of Gu Yi."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongxiang thought back to those words were said by Yang Lin.

Back then, Yang Lin kept warning her not to say her name.

So Li Dongxiang wasn’t sure what to do.

"What is it? Don’t want to say who it is or is there no such person at all?"

Ye Hao said angrily from the side.

"I’m not lying. Someone really did see it. I just can’t reveal her, or else you’d just find some excuse to harrass her, wouldn’t she be helpless then?"

Li Dongxiang quickly responded in agitation upon being accused of lying.

Gu Yi listened from the side, surprised that during her absence, Li Dongxiang’s mind had become so quick.

What she said implied that Ye Hao would use his power to trouble her now.

Gu Yi looked at Li Dongxiang’s expression, knowing someone must have said something to her.

Even without saying it, Gu Yi could guess it was Yang Lin.

And what Yang Lin probably saw was her and Li Yitian together.

Since Yang Lin, like Li Dongxiang, couldn’t stand her and Yang Lin was also in B City, it wasn’t surprising she’d run into her and Li Yitian.

As for the hand-holding, it must have been fabricated just to tarnish Gu Yi’s reputation.

"Was it Yang Lin who said it? If I’m not mistaken, she probably gave you a lot of benefits too."

Li Dongxiang didn’t expect Gu Yi, who hadn’t spoken, to suddenly say this.

She instantly panicked, stealing a glance at Ye Hao.

She knew Yang Lin did this because she wanted Ye Hao.

If because of this matter Ye Hao ceased to favor Yang Lin, Yang Lin wouldn’t continue giving her money or goods.

"No, it wasn’t Yang Lin, how can you talk nonsense?"

Li Dongxiang quickly retorted.

Actually, Ye Hao and Li Yifan had both seen her reaction, confirming what Gu Yi said was true.

"Weren’t you also talking nonsense just now? You didn’t see anything, and now you can’t bring out a person to confront me. You just said I was seeing someone outside; I can sue you. There were so many people just listening to you talk; they can all be witnesses."

Gu Yi suddenly turned serious, speaking firmly to Li Dongxiang.

"Is Old Chen the one who told you to say these things, aiming to make Ye Hao lose his deputy battalion commander position so he can take over?"

Li Yifan deliberately said this.

He knew some of the rumors about Gu Yi in the army, and knew Li Dongxiang spread them.

Previously, they were harmless, and he hadn’t heard Li Dongxiang personally.

So he didn’t even tell Ye Hao.

Actually, Li Yifan was aware of Chen Jun’s intentions, thinking time might change his mind.

But given today’s situation, Li Dongxiang’s boldness in defaming Gu Yi must be either orchestrated by Chen Jun or given his tacit consent.

Otherwise, given Chen Jun’s usual cautious character...

He wouldn’t have let Li Dongxiang offend the superior officer.

Upon hearing Li Yifan say this, Li Dongxiang was completely panicked.

After so many years together, Li Dongxiang knew no matter how much she caused trouble, she shouldn’t bring problems to Chen Jun.

Once, not knowing Chen Jun was home, she had brought Yang Lin home to discuss plotting against Gu Yi, asking Yang Lin for money at the time.

When Yang Lin left, Chen Jun emerged from the room.

He only warned her not to affect his career; other than that, he hadn’t said anything further.

Li Dongxiang hadn’t expected Li Yifan to point it all out at once. She was scared.

"Captain Li, you can’t just say things like this. I only heard it from others and was just chatting with the military wives for fun. My husband, Old Chen, doesn’t know anything about this."

To prove her words, Li Dongxiang straightened up. Originally intending to make a scene, she dared not in front of Li Yifan and Ye Hao, fearing Chen Jun wouldn’t let her off.
