“First of all, we should strongly promote the act of doing good without seeking recognition! Help others within our capabilities, instead of merely pretending and trying to take credit for the kindness done by others!”
Truly compassionate people never expect anything in return. General Yu did not argue with Zhao Xiu’s words; instead, he continued in the same vein, instantly dispelling most of the doubts in everyone’s minds. However, Lin Fan had left a deep impression on them before, so it was a bit difficult for them to accept it right away.
Upon hearing Zhao Xiu and General Yu openly praising Lin Fan, Yan Shun was momentarily stunned. Then, a smile gradually appeared on his lips, trying to conceal his excitement through his actions.
Since the last time Lin Fan fell into the water and woke up, she seemed like a completely different person. Every day, Yan Shun worried that Lin Fan would revert to her previous self. However, after this celebration banquet, all his worries vanished!
Lin Fan never told him how she rescued the child, nor did she consider going out and boasting about her good deed. Didn’t this indicate that Lin Fan had completely bid farewell to her past?
Meanwhile, Jiang Tao’s face was a mix of emotions. The smile froze on his lips while listening to General Yu’s words as he felt increasingly awkward.
If General Yu had spoken first, he might have suspected that General Yu had mentioned the wrong person. But it was his wife who spoke first, the mother of the boy Lin Fan had saved.
His dream of beating Yan Shun to the position of battalion commander shattered in an instant. Jiang Tao clenched his fists tighter, his eyes filled with jealousy, anger, and a series of awkward emotions. Finally, he blamed everything on Zhou Liu.
He turned to Zhou Liu and questioned, “Aren’t you a nurse? Why couldn’t you even provide emergency care for asthma? How did you lose to someone like Lin Fan, who knows nothing?”
Zhou Liu felt her throat tighten as she was questioned. Her face turned awkward, her eyes flickered. “I… It’s Lin Fan, she took away my chance to save the boy! Otherwise, I should be the one being praised now!”
Zhou Liu was already feeling the burn on her face because of Zhao Xiu’s subtle mockery and the criticism from the General. Now, being questioned by Jiang Tao, she felt even more uncomfortable. So, she shifted her thoughts and shifted the blame onto Lin Fan.
“Yes, that’s how it happened,” she replayed the incident in her mind. If it weren’t for Lin Fan’s interference, she would have taken the child to the hospital long ago. After the celebration banquet, her image in everyone’s eyes would have soared. But all of this was intercepted by Lin Fan!
Some people were curious about the person who wanted to take credit and tried to claim the achievement, but they looked at each other, then shook their heads in confusion.
No one suspected Zhou Liu. When she noticed this, she felt a sigh of relief. If so many military wives found out, each of them could scold her into dust with just a sentence.
Zhou Liu quietly got up, taking the opportunity when everyone was guessing, and quickly left the scene, bending over to shield her face.
Jiang Tao also felt embarrassed and followed Zhou Liu’s steps.
Wang Yun and others, who had previously spoken ill of Lin Fan, fell silent. Their faces turned pale, afraid that they might say something wrong again and it would reach the ears of the General, affecting their own men.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was already chatting happily with Zhao Xiu. Suddenly, Lin Fan remembered that she had to help distribute the green bean soup. Zhao Xiu stopped her and gestured in the direction of Yan Shun.
Yan Shun and a few comrades he brought had already rearranged themselves into a self-sufficient ‘industrial chain’, doing things in an orderly manner. They had even replaced Ning Yan.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan felt gratified.
More and more people received the mung bean soup. They did not hesitate to gulp down the entire bowl, the cold liquid entering their lips, instantly extinguishing some of the inexplicable irritability caused by the high temperature.
“There’s a taste of lotus seeds in this mung bean soup!”
Someone exclaimed, drawing many people’s attention to the speaker.
“Xiao Liu, isn’t this just a regular bowl of mung bean soup? How could there be lotus seeds? Could it be that the weather’s too hot, and you’re having hallucinations?” one of Xiao Liu’s comrades teased.
