Chapter 77: Tangtang, the flowers are beautiful, but you are even more beautiful.
Ning Tang couldn't have been happier after getting those two annoying guys thrown in.
His face was beaming with smiles, full of joy.
On his way home from get off work in the evening, he even stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Xu Qiaofeng a Hero brand fountain pen.
He had given me a lipstick before, so it was a reciprocal gesture.
I'm home.
Aunt Zhang took her grandmother out to visit her old friends again, and the house was very quiet.
Ning Tang thought no one was around and was changing her shoes when Xu Qiaofeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
With his left hand behind his back, he carefully combed his hair, which he usually let down, back to reveal his smooth forehead.
The wild features are fully revealed, creating a powerful impact.
Xu Qiaofeng stared intently at Ning Tang with deep, dark eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
It looks a lot like the German Shepherd that the neighbor keeps; it always has this expression when it wants its owner to praise it.
"Tangtang".
"You're finally back."
"There's something I want to tell you."
Ning Tang was taken aback, and only after getting closer did she realize that Xu Qiaofeng was even using hair wax.
He was already handsome, but now that he's dressed up like this, he's completely mesmerized.
Ning Tang unconsciously tightened her grip on the gift, her ears burning, and she forced herself to remain calm as she asked:
"Why the sudden formality? Is something important?"
Xu Qiaofeng took half a step forward.
The distance between the two instantly closed.
You could even smell the faint, cool minty scent emanating from him.
Xu Qiaofeng stretched out his left hand from behind his back, revealing several brightly blooming flowers.
It was when I came back from the neighborhood office in the morning that I happened to see wild roses by the roadside. The petals were bright pink, the thorns had been carefully removed, and they were even tied together with a string of the same color.
No matter how you look at it, you can see how much care the owner has put into it.
Xu Qiaofeng handed the flowers to Ning Tang.
Seemingly because he had never done anything to please someone he liked, his throat moved and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly.
Her usually cold voice softened considerably: "I saw it on the street this morning, it was blooming so beautifully, so I thought I'd pick it for you."
Thinking back to that time, Xu Qiaofeng slightly raised his chin.
Both of his brothers said he was stingy; girls like real money, not roadside flowers.
Pshaw, what do they know? Tangtang is not such a vulgar woman.
Even if she really likes money, I have it myself, and besides, I handed over my salary from the beginning.
"The flowers are beautiful, but you are even more beautiful."
Ning Tang stared at the wild rose, her already burning ears turning even redder, and the color even stained her neck.
Two lifetimes combined.
This was the first time she had ever heard such touching words of love.
Finally, someone cares about her.
Seeing a blade of grass or a flower outside reminds me of her, as if I'm always being remembered by someone.
Ning Tang felt a lump in her throat, and her heart softened like cotton.
She took the flowers and handed over the things she had bought, her voice a little nervous:
"I also brought you something."
"How do you like it?"
Xu Qiaofeng's eyes lit up instantly.
He glanced down at the pen, then at Ning Tang, and couldn't help but smile.
"Did Tangtang buy this especially for me?"
"Mm." Ning Tang nodded, her voice soft. "You gave me a lipstick before, so this is just a return gift."
"no the same."
Xu Qiaofeng suddenly retorted.
He took a few more steps forward, and his tall figure enveloped the woman in his arms.
He stared at Ning Tang's flushed face, took her hand, and placed it on his heart.
Beneath my palm, my heart was pounding fast and hard.
Through the thin fabric of her clothes, it struck Ning Tang's heart.
"This is the first time you've given me a gift, it's different." Xu Qiaofeng's voice trembled slightly. "I'm clumsy, I don't know how to please girls, but I'll give you whatever you want."
He paused again, seemingly trying to calm his excited emotions.
After a few seconds of silence, as if he had made up his mind, he stared into Ning Tang's eyes, his tone straightforward and serious.
"I will carry it with me every day. Whenever I see it, it will be like seeing you."
It's like breaking through some kind of window paper.
Their breathing became erratic.
Looking at Xu Qiaofeng's undisguised expression, Ning Tang's nose began to sting again. It turned out that she was worth it after all.
"Then you mustn't lose it."
"It won't get lost."
"Even if I lose it, I can't lose it." Xu Qiaofeng immediately promised, carefully putting the pen into his pocket, pressing it every now and then, as if he was worried.
"I'll take it with me when I eat, when I train, and when I sleep, I'll keep it in my blanket and hug it."
Ning Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
fool.
But... she just likes idiots.
"Tangtang." Xu Qiaofeng seemed to have made up his mind, his eyes shining even brighter than before, "From now on, whenever I see pretty flowers or beautiful clothes, I'll give them all my wages."
"Could you please look at me more often in the future?"
Ning Tang was stunned.
I quickly realized what he meant.
Seeing Xu Qiaofeng's trembling hands from nervousness, she nodded gently, her voice sweet and obedient.
"If I don't look at you, who else should I look at?"
Xu Qiaofeng suddenly looked up, his eyes almost overflowing with joy.
He stared at Ning Tang for a long time, then suddenly reached out and hugged her and the flowers.
Two thin lips drew closer and closer.
Just as they were about to get close, footsteps and loud talking could be heard outside the door.
"Oh my, Qiaoyan and Wenya successfully divorced today, our house is finally at peace, it's a happy thing."
It was Grandma's voice.
Occasionally, Aunt Zhang would greet them with a smile.
Xu Qiaofeng froze instantly, his mind going completely blank.
I instinctively let go of the person and took several steps back to create distance.
Ning Tang blushed deeply.
But seeing Xu Qiaofeng's helpless expression, he immediately stopped being nervous and even smirked.
The next second, the door was pushed open.
"Grandma, you're back?" Ning Tang asked first. "Are you tired after your walk around?"
When Grandma Xu saw the two people standing in the entryway, she felt that something was off.
Having been through it all, he rolled his eyes, then suddenly laughed and asked.
"Oh dear, did we come back at the wrong time?"
As he spoke, he winked at Xu Qiaofeng.
Xu Qiaofeng's face turned even redder.
After a long while, he managed to cough once.
When Xu Qiaoyan and Xu Qiaolan returned, they also figured out what was going on.
Xu Qiaoyan couldn't help but tease, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? I remember you said before that your sister-in-law wasn't your type at all?"
“You didn’t sleep at home at night, you insisted on going to the team. My brother and I were waiting for you down there.”
"You still remember this, don't you?"
Xu Qiaofeng's face immediately darkened.
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?
He sneered, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Second brother just got divorced today, are you envious that I have a wife?"
Xu Qiaoyan was speechless after hearing this.
He touched his nose and awkwardly shut his mouth.
He had just escaped the turmoil of his divorce, so he didn't dare to argue with his sharp-tongued younger brother.
Xu Qiaolan, the eldest brother, stood to the side, trying so hard not to laugh that his face turned purple.
He patted Xu Qiaoyan on the shoulder, then looked at Xu Qiaofeng with a look of schadenfreude.
"Alright, stop bullying your second brother, who's all alone."
"However, third brother, the way you combed your hair looks like it's been thrown into a pot of oil. You can see the shiny hair wax from a great distance."
Xu Qiaofeng subconsciously touched his hair, then suddenly stopped.
He spent ages fixing his hair in front of the mirror.
Tangtang was stunned when she saw her just now; she must like her terribly. What does an old man like my brother know?
Xu Qiaofeng glared at Xu Qiaolan, "Big brother is so observant, why don't you use that on your sister-in-law?"
"Take better care of your sister-in-law, so that things don't get out of hand. Stop stirring up trouble here."
"Hey, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'backyard on fire'? What happened to your sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiaolan immediately stopped laughing.
He even leaned closer and kept asking questions.
Seeing that he was getting anxious, Xu Qiaofeng smiled triumphantly, deliberately stepped back, and said slowly.
"I was just saying it offhand, why are you so anxious?"
He would never mention that he had seen a young man from his sister-in-law's dance troupe clinging to her.
Xu Qiaolan felt increasingly uneasy.
He started thinking about it in his head.
Could it be that he's been too busy lately and has neglected his wife?
The more she thought about it, the colder her heart became. Xu Qiaolan hurriedly put on her shoes: "No, I have to go to the art troupe to pick up your sister-in-law after get off work."
After saying that, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, like a whirlwind.
Xu Qiaoyan knew Xu Qiaofeng's vengeful nature and dared not tease him any further.
She turned and walked towards the bedroom.
As if remembering something, Xu Qiaoyan suddenly stopped.
Looking at Ning Tang, he was a little embarrassed to speak: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong about what happened before. Wenya has already received the retribution she deserved."
"If you need anything in the future, just come to me. As long as it's within my power, I'll help you."
After saying that, Xu Qiaoyan went straight back to his room.
Upon hearing this, Ning Tang turned to Xu Qiaofeng and asked, "What did Second Brother mean by what he just said?"
"Wenya... went inside?"
Xu Qiaofeng: "If she tries to harm my wife and children, I will not let her get away with it."
"She has committed multiple crimes, and given that she already had a bad reputation in the neighborhood office and had bullied many people by taking advantage of the Xu family, she drove a girl who was being bullied by thugs to her death. Now that many people have come forward to report her, she should be imprisoned for at least two years."
Ning Tang felt a lingering fear after hearing this.
She had previously thought that Wenya simply disliked her.
I never imagined she could be so ruthless, even taking other people's lives.
"Did anyone care about the girl who was driven to suicide afterward?"
Xu Qiaofeng immediately guessed what Ning Tang was thinking and gently took her hand.
"Someone will take care of it."
"Don't think about these upsetting things anymore. With me here, no one can bully you and the child anymore."
Ning Tang looked up at him.
The lingering fear in my heart gradually dissipated.
She said softly, "Yes, I knew you would."

public security bureau.
Early morning.
He was detained for almost a day and interrogated for several hours.
Wang Xinlei had long lost her previous arrogance, and her hair was now a mess, plastered to her face.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her once clean clothes were now dirty.
Hearing the door to the interrogation room open, he trembled with fear.
The policeman who entered slowly sat down, his voice cold: "Have you thought it through? Besides switching the hospital's medicines, is there anything else you need to confess?"
"No, that's all..."
"I just accidentally substituted Xanthium sibiricum powder for Astragalus membranaceus powder..."
"Just an accident?" The policeman slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise. "You're a military hospital, the most authoritative place in everyone's eyes, and you're treating human lives like a joke!"
"And do you know who went for their follow-up appointment and prescription this afternoon? It was none other than Dr. Jin!"
"The most powerful old leader in the military region can reshuffle the entire city with the slightest stomp of his foot, and you actually dare to lay a hand on him!"
Hearing the fear in the voice of the person on the other end, Wang Xinlei felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she slumped into her chair without saying a word.
In her mind, Jinlong was just an old man in the military region who was about to retire.
If she had known he was so powerful, she wouldn't have dared to do that even if she had beaten her to death.
In fact, Jinlong's life was severely affected by the trauma he suffered on the battlefield in his early years.
His superiors, being considerate of him, reduced his workload.
In reality, none of the benefits have changed.
Looking at Wang Xinlei's terrified expression, the police officer sneered, "Now you know fear? What were you doing before!"
"Old Jin made countless contributions to the country and suffered so many injuries. And you, for the sake of personal grudges, are treating his life like a game!"
"If Old Jin really got into trouble because he took the wrong medicine, you wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it!"
"You should thank that doctor named Ning Tang. If she hadn't discovered it early, you'd be eating peanuts by now!"
This sentence almost made Wang Xinlei jump up in anger.
She hated Ning Tang so much.
He wished he could devour her whole.
Now we're actually thanking her?
"Thank her? Why should I thank her? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation today!"
The police officer shook his head in disdain as he looked at Wang Xinlei's stubbornness.
Too lazy to argue with her, I picked up my notebook and was about to leave.
There's a troublemaker waiting for her next door.
The policeman frowned and went next door.
Ning Xin was terrified. As soon as she saw someone coming, she immediately stood up from the stool.
"Comrade, I've been wronged, please let me out."
"Stop, stop, stop! Who came in without saying they're innocent?"
"Please sit down first. After you've finished asking the questions and taking my statement, I'll know whether you're innocent or not."
Ning Xin is only a bully at home.
He was terrified after being arrested, and upon hearing this, he immediately told everything he knew.
Half an hour later.
Ning Xin asked cautiously, "Comrade, can you let me go now?"
"Let's put that aside for now."
The police officer frowned and asked, "You said your man is a military officer, or even the captain of a special forces unit, is that true?"
People were very simple and honest back then.
When people think of soldiers, their first reaction is usually that they are upright and honorable.
They didn't believe their wives would do anything to damage their image.
Furthermore, since the hospital did not mention Ning Xin's existence, and even Wang Xinlei did not mention it, everyone was unsure of what to do.
Ning Xin, observing the situation, immediately revealed Zhang Yanfei's name.
Sure enough, they had all heard of Zhang Yanfei.
"If Captain Zhang can come and testify for you later, we will let you go."
No one knows what Ning Xin said on the phone, but Zhang Yanfei, who was cursing, suddenly changed his behavior and rushed over here.
Half an hour later.
Zhang Yanfei has arrived.
He suppressed his anger, testified for Ning Xin, and finally signed a guarantee before taking the person away.
We hadn't gone very far when we went out.
A slap flew towards Ning Xin.
