Chapter 106 A jerk deserves a beating

At this moment, Su Meng's ward was quite lively.

Grandma, Su Mianzhi, Ada, and Xiaoqi surrounded her, asking her how she was doing.

Each person said a kind word, and she never stopped smiling.

Upon learning that the engagement had been called off, Su Meng felt refreshed and invigorated.

She was no longer the fragile woman she had been when she first met Su Mian that morning. Instead, she sat up on the bed, radiant and speaking with a strong voice, "Dad, I just hurt my shoulder a little."

I want to go home.

I want to look at my notes.

I assembled a diesel engine last night, but I found some problems. If I make some improvements, its performance should be much better.

After a morning of commotion, Su Mianzhi sat weakly in a chair, handed Su Meng's notebook, and said with a look of disapproval, "Nonsense!"

"Health is the foundation of everything; let's take care of our health first."

Hearing his weak and listless words, Su Meng's heart tightened. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Should we call a doctor to take a look, or do some tests?"

When she woke up this morning, all she saw was her notebook.

The luggage should still be at the shipyard.

Wearing a hospital gown, she couldn't "smuggle" the medication out of the room.

Su Mianzhi waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, lie down and rest! I'll be fine after a while."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ah Da opened the door and saw a stranger.

Who are you looking for?

"I'm looking for Comrade Su Meng. I'm Cheng Wangshu, the person in charge of Zhoushan Shipyard. Is this where Comrade Su Meng lives?"

Upon hearing this, Su Meng looked towards the door in surprise. "Comrade Cheng, what brings you here? Please come in!"

As soon as Cheng Wangshu entered the ward, his gaze was fixed on Su Meng.

With a serious and humble expression, he said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Su! It was our inadequate security that caused you danger."

I am willing to cover all medical and nutritional expenses.

Afterwards, he sincerely and politely expressed his apologies to Su Mianzhi and others.

Su Mianzhi had previously had business dealings with the Cheng family of Zhou City.

After exchanging only a few words, the two began chatting about familiar topics, enjoying each other's company immensely, almost as if they were having a long, intimate conversation.

Suddenly, Ah Da shouted coldly, "Who's there?"

The room fell silent.

Ah Da darted out and opened the door.

The next second, a figure was thrown in like a chick.

Ah~

Sun Qiao's scream had barely left her throat when she was choked by A Da's raised leg.

"Tell me, why were you eavesdropping?"

Ah Da glared, his eyes blazing with menacing aura, his presence imposing and awe-inspiring.

Sun Qiao was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes stopped moving, as if she were mentally impaired.

Su Meng looked at the person on the ground with disdain. "That's Sun Qiao, a former colleague of our research institute."

Ah Da's voice was even colder, "Is it that woman who slandered you?"

In my eyes, there is only the difference between family and enemies.

There's never been a rule against hitting women. To be honest, why are you acting so furtively?

Sun Qiao shrank back in fright and called out to Su Meng, "Su Meng, I've come to see you."

She glanced fearfully at Ah Da, then immediately scrambled to her feet and ran towards Su Meng.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cheng Wangshu sitting to the side. Like a hungry wolf that had finally found its prey, he turned and pounced on Cheng Wangshu.

"Director Cheng, I... I've come to see you."

I never expected to be hit by that rude person! You have to stand up for me!

Cheng Wangshu is a well-known figure in Zhou City, rich and powerful, so helping her escape would be a piece of cake.

Cheng Wangshu reacted quickly, immediately changing her position and coldly saying, "Lady, please have some self-respect! I don't know you!"

Anyone who dares to slander Su Meng is definitely not a good person.

The disgust and coldness in his eyes were undisguised.

Sun Qiao was stunned, looked at him with a wronged expression, her eyes shimmering with tears, and said in a tearful voice, "I am Sun Qiao!"

We once had a meal together at my cousin Nie Ronghua's house; it was the Nie family's house in the Southeast Military Region.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Huo Zhenhua stood by the door like an iceberg, his icy gaze like sharp blades piercing Sun Qiao, his voice flat and emotionless, "You are not welcome here, Comrade Sun Qiao."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao's flushed face immediately turned a deep reddish-black.

She clenched her fists, glanced around, and stormed towards the door, yelling, "Get out of the way!"

Ah Da said coldly, "She has ulterior motives; she was eavesdropping outside the door."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhua moved his foot slightly but returned to his original position. "Why were you eavesdropping? What are you trying to do?"

His expression was icy, and the chill in his eyes was like the freezing wind and rain of the coldest days of winter, capable of turning someone into a statue in an instant.

"Or are you planning to harm someone again?"

Sun Qiao's pupils dilated in shock, her neck shrank slightly, and she mentally reviewed her actions over the past few days, which eased her expression somewhat.

If Huo Zhenhua had found something to hold against him, things wouldn't be like this now.

She can't back down!

She straightened her neck, glared at Huo Zhenhua, took a few deep breaths, and calmly retorted, "Commander Huo, do you want to abuse your power?"

I merely exposed your secret meeting with Comrade Su Meng. Is it necessary for you to be so vengeful?

Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll sue you for defamation and for insulting women.

She showed none of the fear she had felt when she saw Ah Da.

She no longer had the shyness she had when she saw Cheng Wangshu.

Compared to Ah Da, who moves as fast as a ghost, Huo Zhenhua has nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, he's a soldier; even if he hates her to the core, he wouldn't pose a threat to her life.

She looked at Huo Zhenhua defiantly and approached him step by step.

She was willing to bet 10,000 yuan that Huo Zhenhua wouldn't dare touch her in front of everyone.

Especially with Su Meng watching over them.

"A good dog doesn't block the way!"

She arrogantly raised her chin, approached Huo Zhenhua without looking to the side, and stepped on the tip of his shoe.

The man's thick eyebrows furrowed, his hands clenched into fists, his fingers cracking as he clenched them, and the warning in his eyes was palpable: "Back off!"

Sun Qiao provocatively pressed closer, causing Huo Zhenhua's forehead veins to throb. "I want to get out! If you've got the guts, then don't move!"

Su Meng couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up: "That bitch deserves a beating!"

Ah Da dodged and reached out to grab Sun Qiao's shoulder.

Huo Zhenhua was, after all, his preferred nephew-in-law, and they had shared a period of revolutionary friendship. How could he tolerate being insulted and provoked to his face?

At the same time, Huo Zhenhua also made a move.

He raised his gun and held it against Sun Qiao.

Then he said to the person behind him, "Commander Nie, did you see that?"

This is the well-behaved, law-abiding cousin you described.

Can I sue her for harassment and assaulting a soldier?

Is her arrogance at the behest of your family, or is she just used to bullying others?

They slander others with their words, and habitually act superior, condemning people.

Nie Ronghua glanced at the stunned Sun Qiao with disgust, then waved behind her, "Go call your sister-in-law and ask her to send her cousin back."

He had heard that it was because of Sun Qiao's trouble, and he originally didn't want to get involved, but when he thought that it was in Su Meng's ward, he wanted to take a look at the person he longed for from afar.

But when he got to the door, he... backed down.

He dared not look into the ward.

Although every cell in my body was clamoring to go inside, I couldn't help but think about how foolish I had given my love token to Zhong Wanrou.

He felt guilty and remorseful.

He couldn't face Su Meng!

"Let's go back!"

It seemed to take all his strength to utter those three words.

He squeezed his eyes shut, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, trembled as he gripped the hem of his shirt, his neatly trimmed nails still digging into his palms through the fabric.

Stinging!

But not his heartache.
