Chapter 121 And I don't need it.

Just then, someone called out to her, "Su Meng?!"

The one calling her was Mo Xiaoli, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

The group also included Nie Rongchang, who had just scolded the child, and Mr. Mo Hengyu, whom they had met on the train back.

Helpless, Su Meng turned around with an awkward smile, "Comrade Mo... Comrade Nie."

The words "Mr. Mo" were on the tip of her tongue when she suddenly remembered that it was Lin Xi, not Su Meng, who knew Mo Hengyu.

She almost revealed her identity as a doctor.

Nie Rongchang was incredibly perceptive. Hearing her change in tone, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he greeted her without making a sound.

"Comrade Su, it's been a long time!"

Su Meng walked forward calmly, smiled at him, and was embraced by Mo Xiaoli, who ran over with open arms.

She rested her head on Su Meng's shoulder and muttered resentfully, "I only found out today that you are Ronghua's childhood sweetheart."

"Oh! He's so unlucky; he missed out on someone as good as you."

Su Meng's clear eyes remained calm and undisturbed as she softly corrected, "That's just a joke from the older generation; you can't take it seriously."

Xiao Li, are you going back now?

Mo Xiaoli held Su Meng's hand reluctantly, her regret clearly written on her face. "Yes! If I had known you were on the island, I would have applied to come over."

Don't worry! I'll definitely come to be with you.

Su Mengxin said, "There's no need for that! They've only met by chance, and it's not like they're going to be inseparable."

But taking advantage of her distraction, Mo Xiaoli pulled her in front of Mo Hengyu, "Grandpa, this is Su Meng who saved me last time."

She then introduced, "Su Meng, my grandfather is the president of Shanghai First People's Hospital."

If you haven't secured a job yet, come find my grandfather.

The old man clearly disapproved of Mo Xiaoli's overreaching attitude. His smile faded, and he said seriously, "Comrade Su, thank you for saving my Xiaoli!"

My daughter, Xiaoli, is too young to understand. Working in a hospital isn't something anyone can just do.

However, we are willing to offer monetary rewards or other gifts.

Upon hearing her name, everyone else cast complex glances at her.

Su Meng glanced around, then met the serious-looking Mo Hengyu's gaze and said solemnly, "Mr. Mo, there's no need for thanks."

I think any kind-hearted person would lend a helping hand, and their motivation would not be money or other gifts.

And I don't need it.

I won't bother you any longer, take care!

She subtly withdrew her hand from Mo Xiaoli's palm and politely took a step back.

They probably all heard that she was Nie Ronghua's childhood betrothed.

Her Su family was a money-grubbing, opportunistic, and greedy family.

They then revealed an unusual expression, as if they were afraid of being tainted by some bad luck.

Oh!

Birds of a feather flock together.

She disdained to associate with them.

Nie Rongchang took in everything and frowned unhappily.

He looked at Su Meng apologetically, "Comrade Su, I will deal with the rumors circulating in the family compound immediately."

Your Su family is selfless, having dedicated all your family property to the motherland. You are recognized by the leaders as red capitalists and deserve our respect.

Xiao Li, Comrade Su Meng is an outstanding researcher at our firearms research institute; she is not unemployed.

As for the latest diesel engine, it is Su Meng's achievement, but he dares not reveal too much before the patent is granted.

He was afraid of bringing trouble to Su Meng.

Hearing him say that, Su Meng was quite surprised.

Nie Rongchang truly lived up to his reputation as a soldier. His words and actions were impartial and upright. He did not defend his own people who were spreading rumors, but instead set things right.

Everyone else stared at Su Meng in shock after hearing Nie Rongchang's words.

So it turns out her family are red capitalists!

This young girl is a researcher at a firearms research institute, and her character and family background are impeccable. How could she... extort money from people?

It's definitely a misconception!

Mo Xiaoli grabbed Su Meng again before she could say anything, "I knew Su Meng was something special, turns out she's a researcher in the military region!"

Su Meng, you're amazing!

As soon as your research findings are published, I want to interview you first.

Her enthusiasm was genuine.

Su Meng felt a warmth in her heart and patted her hand with a smile, "Okay!"

What they said at the entrance of Su Xiaoman's compound quickly spread throughout the residential compound.

"So someone was slandering the Su family!"

"I heard that Commander Nie's new wife used to work at the research institute, but she had a conflict with Su Meng for some reason and lost her job. Do you think she was taking revenge?"

As a result, the gossip immediately shifted, becoming that Nie Ronghua's new daughter-in-law, Sun Qiao, was jealous of Su Meng and wanted to smear her by spreading rumors and slander.

After seeing Mo Hengyu and his group off, Nie Rongchang had just reached the courtyard gate when he heard Nie Ronghua's deep and angry roar: "Whoever spread these rumors will apologize to me tomorrow."

Sun Qiao clenched her clothes, lowered her head and remained silent. She looked at the seemingly harmless Old Madam Nie with a slight upturn of her lips, wanting to applaud her, but when she thought of her methods and character, a chill ran down her spine.

"If no one identifies themselves, then prepare for the political commissar's investigation tomorrow."

Nie Ronghua coldly uttered a sentence and turned around in her wheelchair.

He met Nie Rongchang's helpless gaze as he stepped into the courtyard.

Just as Sister-in-law Nie Yang Rui closed a courtyard gate, she saw Commander Tang leading a group of people over.

She whispered a reminder: "Commander Tang is here!"

Commander Tang strode with an imposing presence, his face ashen, radiating a chilling aura.

"Comrade Nie Rongchang!" he called out, stopping Nie Rongchang. "Wait!"

Once inside the courtyard, he nodded to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui glanced at Commander Tang, Huo Zhenhua behind him, and Yao Hongjun, who was holding a baby, with a puzzled look, and then quietly retreated to the side.

"Comrade Nie Ronghua, we shouldn't have barged in on this joyous day."

"But these two kidnappers claim they were acting on orders from your Nie family, kidnapping researcher Yao Hongjun's youngest son solely to steal diesel engine parameters."

After finishing his speech in one breath, Commander Tang examined the members of the Nie family, but his gaze was fixed on Sun Qiao, who was wearing new clothes.

Clearly, they have obtained concrete evidence.

"Comrade Sun Qiao, do you know them?"

Sun Qiao raised her pale face, which looked as if it had been coated with several layers of flour, and looked incredulously behind Commander Tang.

She dared not look at Commander Tang; she was afraid of his sharp eyes and his cold, imposing aura.

If it weren't for the stinging pain of her fingernails digging into her palm that brought her back to her senses, she would have fainted from fright long ago.

Hearing his own name now felt like being struck by lightning; his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his trouser legs moved without any wind.

She stammered, "I, I, I don't... I don't know him."

Yes! I don't know him.

They are slandering us!

Nie Ronghua looked at Sun Qiao coldly, as if she were a bedbug crawling on the ground before it died, disgusted and indifferent. "Take her away for interrogation!"

My Nie family has an honest and upright reputation; we cannot allow outsiders to smear it.

The word "outsider" completely severed the line between him and Sun Qiao.

Sun Qiao looked at Nie Ronghua in disbelief, her voice cracking with excitement, sharp and chilling, yet she spoke fluently.

"Nie Ronghua, I am your wife."

How can you be so cold and heartless?

If something happens to me, you won't escape being held accountable either.

Ha! You think you can get rid of me like this, and make Su Meng look at you differently? Too late!

Su Meng looks down on you, looks down on your Nie family. Hahaha!

It's unclear what words provoked Nie Ronghua, but he subtly glanced at Huo Zhenhua, then smashed the armrest of the wheelchair with a single blow. A storm brewed in his dark eyes, and his entire being radiated a fierce aura.
