Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 989 - 900: Defending Our Rivers and Mountains 30
Shuangshuang’s influence in H City, due to her dical skills and the strong advocacy of Father Allen, is no less than that of Du Zongze. In contrast, while Shuangshuang’s reputation in H City is booming, Tian Xueli’s reputation is just as foul.
As soon as this incident broke out, Tian Xueli couldn’t stay in the newspaper office anymore. She was directly fired because the newspaper owner was one of Shuangshuang’s connections. This filial son’s mother was even brought back from Ghost Gate by Shuangshuang.
Once the matter exploded, the newspaper owner’s mother took a feather duster and whipped the newspaper owner harshly, scolding him for being ungrateful, and urged him to swiftly restore Shuangshuang’s reputation and deal with Tian Xueli.
The newspaper owner was also aggrieved. He wasn’t the editor and didn’t oversee the reviews. As the owner, he had a lot of work to do and couldn’t monitor what news was published all day. As soon as this happened, he held back the news, but the ssage had already been released, and he didn’t have the ability to recall it.
Just as the newspaper owner was preparing to write so news or create a bigger uproar to suppress the wave of rumors for Shuangshuang, a reversal occurred. All of Tian Xueli’s secrets were uncovered, and her sche against Shuangshuang was discovered. This was intolerable, and the whole city angrily condemned Tian Xueli.
The newspaper owner imdiately seized the opportunity to fire Tian Xueli, citing her poor image and the release of false news, deeming her unfit to be a journalist. Once this newspaper fired Tian Xueli, no newspaper in H City was willing to hire Tian Xueli as a reporter.
With no job as a reporter and no other newspaper willing to let her in, Tian Xueli suddenly had no source of inco. She had a family relying on her for als, and life beca instantly strained.
Previously, Tian Xueli had always demonstrated that she was different from won who lusted for vanity, resolutely refusing to accept any money or luxury goods from Du Haokun. If it weren’t for Tian Xueli’s behavior, Du Haokun wouldn’t have easily fallen for Tian Xueli and protected her in many ways.
After all, in this era, won living off n and spending n’s money were considered completely natural, even though so won managed to support their families, like the highest-earning textile workers.
But the employnt opportunities for won were too narrow, and the demand for textile workers was limited. More won depended on n. Few were like Tian Xueli, who disliked spending n’s money, neither having the ntality nor the conditions. Tian Xueli thus distinguished herself from ordinary won.
Tian Xueli acted this way because through her interaction with Du Haokun, she clearly understood that Du Haokun didn’t like won who relied on n, and Tian Xueli hoped to beco Du Haokun’s favorite woman. So after eting Du Haokun, no matter how tough life was, she persisted in refusing to use Du Haokun’s money.
Of course, Tian Xueli’s hardships didn’t last long before Du Haokun developed feelings for her, helping not with money but with resources, quickly making Tian Xueli a core mber of the newspaper.
The news Tian Xueli painstakingly gathered for interviews used to be difficult to publish, but now her news wasn’t only certainly published but each ti secured good space. And because of Du Haokun’s help, Tian Xueli gained the confidence to publish the secrets of noble families, making her news increasingly sensational, and her fa gradually rose, earning more money, and her family’s life improved.
Now, with Tian Xueli suddenly losing her inco source and the money she earned was spent supporting the family, coupled with her infamous reputation, in H City, when she goes out, even rickshaw drivers deliberately avoid taking Tian Xueli, as these lower-class people rarely haven’t benefitted from Shuangshuang’s help and have a bunch of relatives and connections, few families haven’t had soone treated by Shuangshuang.
Though they don’t have money, they know gratitude. They can’t repay Shuangshuang in any other way but could certainly avoid doing business with Shuangshuang’s enemies even if it ans earning less.
Now Tian Xueli finds it difficult to move a step in H City; not just in H City, even in nearby S City where Commander Liu is, Tian Xueli also can’t find her footing. Moreover, Tian Xueli is impossible to let go of Du Haokun, so leaving H City isn’t an option; right now, the only path left for Tian Xueli is to rely on Du Haokun.
Fortunately, Du Haokun has deep feelings for Tian Xueli and imdiately bought a big house to settle Tian Xueli, because Tian Xueli dared not enter Du Mansion, fearing being bullied in Shuangshuang’s territory.
Du Haokun not only provided a residence for Tian Xueli but also actively sought out Shuangshuang to plead for Tian Xueli because after the incident, Du Haokun had already investigated the causes and easily discovered that the person behind the scenes was Shuangshuang.
Since Tian Xueli was the one who attacked Shuangshuang first, Du Haokun felt a bit guilty, thinking he should let Shuangshuang vent first. Now that he feels Tian Xueli has been punished, thinking it should balance out, he hoped Shuangshuang would spare Tian Xueli.
When Du Haokun found Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang had already dealt with everything. Supplies were purchased and transferred; rembering her past life, Shuangshuang had already figured out where she should go to be a military doctor.
Shuangshuang had even contacted the other party in advance; now, seeing the war break out, Shuangshuang had no mind to linger on Du Haokun, Tian Xueli, and their emotional entanglents, her concern was with the wounded compatriots on the battlefield.
It wasn’t a surprise to Shuangshuang that Du Haokun ca to her to plead for Tian Xueli, so for the first ti she revealed her unruly nature, coldly sneering at Du Haokun: "If you want to spare Tian Xueli, it’s simple, just go to divorce as Young Marshal, from now on we’ll have nothing to do with each other. Not only will I spare Tian Xueli, but you can also marry your beloved woman as you wish. How about it? My request isn’t excessive, right?"
Shuangshuang initially thought this ti, she would certainly get her wish to divorce Du Haokun, because if Tian Xueli beca Du Haokun’s rightful wife, Tian Xueli’s status would be completely different than now, even if everyone inwardly disdained Tian Xueli, they wouldn’t continue to act against her.
Unexpectedly for Shuangshuang, Du Haokun didn’t engage with her words, but instead sowhat evasively frowned and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my wife; once you are, you always are. Don’t say such things again." Finishing his words, he didn’t continue to ask Shuangshuang to spare Tian Xueli and just turned to leave.
Watching Du Haokun’s slightly fleeing figure, Shuangshuang frowned. She initially thought she could undeniably strip away her identity as Lady Haokun before leaving. Now it seems impossible; as for Du Haokun’s peculiar attitude, Shuangshuang didn’t bother to take it to heart.
