Chapter 155 Two Stubborn Guys Clash

Zhong Chuchu watched as the tractor roared towards her like a runaway iron beast.

Dust, mixed with the smell of diesel, hit us in the face.

She gritted her teeth and kept her feet firmly planted on the ground.

When two stubborn people clash, someone has to back down.

Shen Kun, sitting in the driver's seat, sneered with a crooked mouth, one hand on the steering wheel, his eyes filled with a mixture of seven parts ferocity and three parts mockery.

He didn't care, he just floored the gas pedal.

The tires screeched as they rolled over the gravel.

Zhong Chuchu's resolute stance of "I'd rather be hit and killed than give way" was, of course, fake!

When the tractor roared right up to them, the instinct for survival overwhelmed all other thoughts.

Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she lunged to the side.

But it was still a step too late.

With a muffled thud, the front of the car scraped heavily against her arm and waist.

The immense impact knocked her down and sent her tumbling down the hillside.

Torn apart by dead branches and pebbles along the way, it finally collapsed at the bottom of the ravine.

Shen Kun didn't even look back, whistling as he drove away with a flourish.

He scoffed inwardly: "Trying to mess with him? He'll run her over!"

It was an unknown amount of time before Zhong Chuchu finally regained consciousness from the excruciating pain.

As the sun set, she struggled to sit up.

My bones felt like they were falling apart, and my face was burning with pain.

Reaching out to touch, one finds only scrapes and bloodstains; the fabric at the elbows and knees is worn through, seeping with blood and dirt.

"damn it…"

She squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, each word filled with malice.

Shen Kun, you just wait.

She spat out the sand from her mouth, her eyes burning with an almost insane light.

One day, she will make this arrogant bastard pay a thousandfold for what he did today.

She wanted him to kneel on the ground and regret it.

Zhong Chuchu gritted her teeth and brushed the dust off her body. Every movement aggravated her wounds, causing her to hiss in pain.

She limped uphill, a wicked thought creeping into her mind like a poisonous vine.

Since she can't win over Shen Kun, she'll destroy what he cares about.

—If she can't beat Shen Kun, can't she beat her aunt?!

Winter is gradually fading away, and spring has arrived earlier than usual this year.

Before the New Year, the willow trees in the courtyard had already sprouted buds.

The courtyard was bustling with preparations for the New Year, filled with the aroma of fried meatballs and the noise of sweeping dust.

Just then, Meng Shigang abruptly brought a woman to find Shen Wanjun.

He stood ramrod straight, tense yet proud.

"Hello, Comrade Shen," his voice was a few points louder than usual, "This is my girlfriend, Meng Wei."

"Oh, please come in, have a seat!"

Shen Wanjun was taken aback for a moment, then warmly invited the two into the house and quickly brewed two cups of hot tea.

Meng Shigang sat down somewhat shyly, placing his hands neatly on his knees.

He said very solemnly, "Comrade Shen, we're getting married in a couple of days. Please remember to come to the wedding banquet."

As the three were talking, Dang Xianghong, wearing an apron and holding half a head of garlic, entered the room before her voice could be heard.

"You, Meng Shigang, only invited Comrade Shen, but not me?"

Meng Shigang stood up abruptly as if struck by lightning, waving his hands repeatedly.

"Please, of course we must invite you. Comrade Dang, you are the great matchmaker, you are the first one we must invite."

The task of introducing a potential partner to Meng Shigang was spearheaded by Shen Wanjun, with Dang Xianghong selecting the candidate.

The two had only one goal—to make Bai Lu, who was arrogant and had dumped Meng Shigang, regret her decision.

"Comrade Meng isn't very good at speaking, but he's honest and straightforward. Please bear with him."

Meng Wei naturally took over the conversation, her smile gentle and her voice clear.

With just a few words, Meng Shigang's awkwardness was eased.

Shen Wanjun secretly admired her; this girl was no ordinary person.

Meng Wei is a full-time Chinese language teacher at the school and a colleague of Bai Lu.

The difference between the two is that Bai Lu is still an intern, while Meng Wei is a full-time employee.

Meng Wei's whole family were soldiers; she came from a good family with a simple background, and she was dignified and elegant in appearance.

He seemed to belong to a completely different world from the taciturn Meng Shigang.

When Meng Shigang first went on a blind date, he had absolutely no idea what to expect.

I feel like he's just a toad on the ground trying to eat a swan in the sky.

Unexpectedly, after only a few meetings, Meng Wei took the initiative to propose marriage.

"You absolutely must come next Monday."

With a smile, Meng Wei took out two beautifully packaged candies from her handbag and stuffed them into Shen Wanjun and Dang Xianghong's hands without saying a word.

"Please sit at the head table then."

Dang Xianghong was overjoyed; her earlier slight unease vanished instantly.

She had just been grumbling that Meng Shigang had forgotten about her, the matchmaker, but unexpectedly, Meng Wei had thoughtfully prepared a gift for her.

Meng Wei said softly to Dang Xianghong, "I was just discussing with Shi Gang that we would come to your house for a visit later."

Dang Xianghong felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and she laughed it off.

He slapped his thigh and said, "Look at my impatient nature, it's all my fault for being too hasty."

Nourished by love, Meng Shigang smiled throughout, becoming quite talkative, a stark contrast to his usual taciturn self.

He chuckled and teased Shen Wanjun, "Comrade Shen, what a coincidence! Meng Wei and I share the same surname, Meng. We were family five hundred years ago."

He then turned to Dang Xianghong and said, "Comrade Dang, how come fate is such a magical thing? You can't stop it."

Originally, Shen Wanjun didn't like Meng Shigang's dull personality; he was so quiet and rarely spoke, much like Song Zhan.

But now that Meng Shigang has suddenly become a chatterbox, she can't quite accept it for a while.

I chuckled to myself: It turns out that men who talk too much can also be quite disliked.

Seeing that Meng Wei hadn't said much, but was just smiling at Meng Shigang.

Shen Wanjun found an excuse, affectionately took her arm, and pulled her into the bedroom.

Shen Wanjun lowered her voice as she closed the door.

He asked sincerely, "Comrade Meng, tell me the truth, do you really want to marry Meng Shigang?"

That's a very presumptuous question. If someone were petty and vengeful, they would have already turned on them.

Meng Wei simply nodded affirmatively, meeting Shen Wanjun's questioning gaze.

She explained frankly, "Comrade Shen, I know you mean well."

"But Shi Gang is very good to me. He is a reliable and hardworking person. I don't want anything else. What I want is this sincerity and peace of mind."

She sighed softly and took the initiative to talk about her family situation.

It turns out that Meng Wei is the apple of the Meng family's eye, and her good family background has become a double-edged sword.

Everyone assumed she had many suitors.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, whenever a man showed even the slightest interest in her appeared in her life...

She would then be disciplined and expelled by her several brothers who were protective of their younger sister, using various "legitimate reasons".

For various reasons, her marriage was delayed.

She became an older single woman in the eyes of others who was "too picky".

Until recently, the brothers, seeing that their sister was really getting old, slowly let go and dared not interfere too much anymore.

As Meng Wei spoke, a gentle smile spread across her lips.

"Meeting Shi Gang, I felt that everything was just right."

The four of them chatted inside the house, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

At this moment, Bai Lu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing that Meng Shigang was also at Shen Wanjun's house, she smiled and said, "Comrade Meng, are you here again to ask Comrade Shen to introduce you to someone?"

Meng Wei coughed and said, "Comrade Bai, are you here to see Commander Song again?"
