Jiang Wanning looked at Zhao Xuenan seriously and chuckled, "Oh, looking closely, it seems you're really not Zhao Xuenan, because you're uglier than Zhao Xuenan."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuenan flew into a rage.

She was scratched on the face that time, and there was no good medical care in the village. Even though her face healed, the scar remained.

She was taken in by someone and became that country bumpkin's wife for a month.

Then she couldn't take it anymore and ran away.

When they escaped, they encountered Meng Huaijin, who was climbing the mountain alone.

Meng Huaijin was wearing a full set of mountaineering gear and professional hiking boots. His upright posture and sudden appearance in front of Zhao Xuenan, who had fainted, was like a god descending to earth, making Zhao Xuenan fall in love with him at first sight.

Meng Huaijin had no intention of saving her; it was her will to survive that held onto his trouser leg.

Meng Huaijin showed no mercy or chivalry whatsoever; instead, he kicked her.

"roll!"

She wouldn't let go, pleading desperately, "Please save me, or I'll be taken back, beaten half to death, and locked up. I don't want to, please, our Zhao family will definitely repay you handsomely."

He stopped in his tracks: "Zhao?"

"Yes, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Xuenan."

His cold expression finally showed a hint of emotion; he half-squatted down and lifted her face.

It seemed that a certain word had touched him.

At this time, she was trapped in that small village, surrounded by uncouth people, and she had no one to turn to for help. She was determined to seize this opportunity.

The man gripped her chin tightly, then unscrewed a bottle of water and roughly poured it over her.

"I'll clean you up."

Zhao Xuenan's face flushed red.

She has trouble even getting enough to eat, let alone taking care of herself; she must look disheveled right now.

Zhao Xuenan took the tissue the man handed her and carefully wiped her face clean.

The man looked at her face, his expression indifferent.

Zhao Xuenan knew she didn't have anything particularly impressive about her, but she keenly felt that as long as she went along with this man, she could definitely get what she wanted.

For example, her surname is Zhao, and she seems to treat this man very differently.

"What's your name?" he asked again.

"Zhao Xuenan".

The man coldly ordered, "Keep up. If you can't keep up, I'm not going to help you anymore."

Zhao Xuenan quickly followed.

Where are you from?

"A person from the South City".

Her accent was somewhat similar to the voice in my memory; both were from the southern part of the city.

Have you been to other places before?

"I've been to many places. My family is well-off, and I've traveled to many places with my family."

The Jiang family was indeed very well-off back then. She wasn't surnamed Zhao; she was surnamed Jiang.

She traveled to many places with Jiang Xinkai and Xia Rushan, a married couple.

Zhao Xuenan thought of Jiang Wanning, and she mustered up her courage to speak: "When I used to go out with my parents, I would see some children who were so pitiful. Then I would buy them some things to share. I think maybe that's why I'm lucky to have met you today. Can you help me? I've been captured and abducted to this village."

The man looked you up and down: "So, you're being kept as their wife now? And you've had a baby?"

She quickly shook her head: "No, no. I wasn't arrested for long, and besides, the son of the person who arrested me is mentally challenged. He doesn't understand these things; all he does is beat me."

Zhao Xuenan lied.

That young man naturally knew how to sleep with women, and he didn't miss any opportunity to do so.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, she naturally complied.

The young man wasn't very good-looking or skilled, but he wasn't entirely unmoved by her.

However, she couldn't let the man in front of her know, for fear that he would despise her.

It's unclear whether Zhao Xuenan's fabricated travel experiences touched the man in some way, but for the rest of the journey, the man didn't say a word, yet he kept her by his side the whole time.

Zhao Xuenan was struggling to keep up, but she gritted her teeth and desperately tried to catch up; she had no other chance.

Then, she was taken to Meng Huaijin's side.

The scars on her face have healed, and she had her eyes widened to make them appear larger, but upon closer inspection, they still don't look quite natural.

Meng Huaijin promised her one thing: he would avenge her. After that, they would have no further dealings with each other.

She even thought, what revenge is there to take? As long as I can stay by Meng Huaijin's side for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, Meng Huaijin didn't like her and didn't want her.

Meng Huaijin has women, but none of the women around her are like her; they are all exceptionally beautiful, especially with a pair of lovely eyes.

Once, Meng Huaijin was drunk. She cautiously approached him, and he pulled her into his arms, looked her over carefully, and finally told her to get lost: "Get lost, you are not her."

She didn't know who the "she" Meng Huaijin was referring to was.

She later inquired with people around Meng Huaijin and learned that Meng Huaijin did indeed have someone in his heart, a white moonlight.

Everyone thought she was Meng Huaijin's ideal woman, because over the years, she was the only woman Meng Huaijin had ever kept by his side.

But Zhao Xuenan knew, damn it, that this white moonlight was someone else entirely, and she and Meng Huaijin had absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Surname Zhao?

Also from the south of the city?

Where can I find someone with the surname Zhao?

She doesn't even know her!

Hearing Jiang Wanning say that she looked even uglier, Zhao Xuenan was so angry that her hands were trembling.

What's so great about Jiang Wanning!

If she hadn't married Fu Chenyuan, she would probably be pinned down by some old man by now.

Zhao Xuenan spoke in a voice only Meng Huaijin could hear: "Mr. Meng, I want Jiang Wanning dead!"

She no longer wanted to torment Jiang Wanning; she wanted Jiang Wanning to disappear!

For the past month, she has been hiding in the shadows, watching the Jiang family prosper and Jiang Wanning become more and more popular.

The Jiang family had gone bankrupt, but Jiang Xinkai was able to make a comeback.

What's even more outrageous is that Xia Rushan actually has a supportive older sister like Xu Ying!

Xu Ying married Meng Tian again!

Jiang Wanning will be a great help in the future.

Meng Huaijin glanced at Jiang Wanning indifferently, but after that glance, his gaze lingered.

He looked at Jiang Wanning's eyes with a fascination and reached out to touch them.

Before they even touched, Meng Huaijin's wrist was grabbed by Fu Chenyuan.

Fu Chenyuan's voice was cold and deep: "President Meng, please have some self-respect!"

Security guards came forward.

Fu Chenyuan said calmly, "These two are not our invited guests. They have come uninvited, so please leave."

The commotion here naturally did not escape everyone's notice.

Xu Ying and Meng Tian came together.

Meng Huaijin chuckled: "I originally wanted to share in your joy, so I came uninvited. Are you saying I won't even get a cup of wedding wine?"

He was asking about Xu Ying and Meng Tian.

The atmosphere here was tense; both Fu Chenyuan and Jiang Wanning looked unpleasant.

Xu Ying didn't ask why; if her niece was unhappy, she would naturally kick her out unconditionally.

"I cannot accept your blessing and do not need it, please leave." The intention to drive the guest away was obvious.
