Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 986: Chapter 897: Defending Our Rivers and Mountains 27

After Du Haokun gave his explanation, Mrs. Liu’s eyes swept over Tian Xueli beside Du Haokun again, then she revealed a smile with an unclear meaning, ”I understand, you men always need a few romantic companions.”

As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, regardless of Du Haokun’s dark expression, Commander Liu immediately interjected, ”Don’t lump everyone together like that. When have I ever had romantic companions? In this lifetime, it’s just you.”

”How many women are as lucky as me to find such a great man? Most women are like Miss Kou, with the powerless ones being dismissed as useless, while those with capabilities like Miss Kou are still not favored by men.” After displaying some public affection with a blushing face towards Commander Liu, Mrs. Liu then made Du Haokun feel uncomfortable.

Kou Shuangshuang felt a bit amused; the feeling Mrs. Liu had given her all this time was one of softness and mildness, a person with a good personality. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu was like a needle hidden in silk, sharp-tongued and fiery, making Du Haokun’s face turn red with embarrassment. Yet due to Commander Liu’s influence, he dared not react, which really delighted her.

After the meal, Kou Shuangshuang, Commander Liu, Mrs. Liu, and even Liu Junye had a delightful time conversing, while Tian Xueli was completely ignored. As for Du Haokun, only Commander Liu occasionally greeted him, preventing him from being too embarrassed.

Previously, Liu Junye had kept his distance from Kou Shuangshuang because he was worried that being too close might damage Kou Shuangshuang’s image in front of her husband, Du Haokun. Now, seeing her relationship with Du Haokun so alienated and tense, Liu Junye felt indignant for Kou Shuangshuang and no longer hesitated to converse with her.

After the banquet ended, Tian Xueli, who had been ignored all evening, was on the verge of tears, her face looking extremely unpleasant. She had insisted on attending the banquet with Du Haokun, aiming not only to experience a grand banquet and find topics that wouldn’t offend Commander Liu to write about but also to occupy Kou Shuangshuang’s place beside Du Haokun and demonstrate her presence, intending to make Kou Shuangshuang look bad as revenge for prior incidents.

Unexpectedly, instead of avenging herself, she ended up being more humiliated by Kou Shuangshuang. In Tian Xueli’s eyes, though the humiliation came from the Liu family, she still blamed Kou Shuangshuang, believing that without her, the Liu family wouldn’t have embarrassed her—a typical bullying-the-weak-fearing-the-strong mentality.

Once back at where Kou Shuangshuang was staying, Tian Xueli burst into tears upon entering the room with Du Haokun. Du Haokun was also having a rough day, feeling pent-up anger with no way to vent. Now, faced with Tian Xueli’s crying, he tried to comfort her, but she wouldn’t stop, no matter how he tried.

While Du Haokun and Tian Xueli were struggling, with one crying and the other trying to comfort, Kou Shuangshuang slept peacefully through the night. Waking up refreshed the next morning, she paid no mind to Du Haokun and Tian Xueli, fully ignoring them now, having decided to pack her things and leave the Du Family upon returning.

Kou Shuangshuang wasn’t planning on obtaining any divorce papers; she had already mastered her medical skills, and the Du Family could no longer bind her. With the war drawing nearer, she had no time to waste with the Du Family; she needed to leave, change cities, and stock up on wartime-essential medicine and indispensable bandages and gauze.

Early the next morning, Kou Shuangshuang noticed a dejected-looking Du Haokun. As for Tian Xueli, she must have been exhausted from her tantrum because she hadn’t appeared, likely asleep.

Upon seeing Kou Shuangshuang, Du Haokun’s lips moved slightly as though he wanted to say something to her, but she didn’t give him the chance, merely greeting him lightly before leaving, having an appointment to check Liu Junye’s health.

Liu Junye appeared increasingly vigorous. In fact, all the cancer cells in his body had been cleared by Kou Shuangshuang’s powers; now he only needed rest, with her aiding in the quick restoration of his body from the effects of cancer, accelerating his recovery.

These days, Liu Junye had abandoned his previous cautious demeanor, thoroughly engaging with Kou Shuangshuang in conversation, frequently inviting her to stay at the Liu Mansion as their family doctor. Of course, the Liu Family wouldn’t restrict Kou Shuangshuang from continuing her charitable medical work or treating other patients, as long as she prioritized treating any Liu Family member who fell ill.

As for the troubles that might arise from Du Family, including facilitating her divorce, the Liu Family could help handle them. This offer was indeed tempting if Kou Shuangshuang hadn’t made up her mind to leave.

The best treatment, extremely high freedom, unlike at the Du Family, where she had to exert effort to maintain her position and labor for Du Zongze. At Liu Family, she only needed to be a pure physician, focusing on studying medicine and curing patients.

Sadly, Kou Shuangshuang had other plans now, and time was of the essence; she couldn’t afford to waste time beside Commander Liu and had to politely decline Liu Junye’s kind offer, which didn’t surprise Liu Junye, though he regretted not being able to keep her at the Liu Family.

Leaving the Liu Family and returning to H City, Du Haokun observed Commander Liu’s family reluctantly bidding farewell to Kou Shuangshuang, especially noticing the fully recovered, charming and handsome Liu Junye conversing happily with her, which made Du Haokun deeply uncomfortable.

Seeing the two engaged in a prolonged conversation, Du Haokun couldn’t help stepping forward to separate them, saying to Kou Shuangshuang, ”Shuangshuang, we should leave now; we’ve been away for so long. If we don’t return soon, Father and Mother would worry.”

Kou Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue, bidding farewell to Liu Junye before boarding the train to return to H City with Du Haokun. Her mind was already planning on how to manage her most profitable tailor shop before departing.

And how to transfer the money she earned, whether to purchase a batch of supplies in H City before the move. As for Du Haokun, who kept trying to speak to her, Kou Shuangshuang had no intention of responding. She didn’t plan on staying at the Du Family longer, making his attitude irrelevant.

Upon returning to H City, the alliance between Commander Liu and Du Zongze was established, making Du Zongze extremely pleased as he praised Kou Shuangshuang greatly, awarding her a substantial sum of silver coins to purchase whatever she desired.
