Chapter 110: Destroying a Marriage
Just as it was about to land, Ning Tang hesitated for a second and then slammed heavily onto Pei Yanning's arm.
It wasn't particularly painful, but it instantly brought the woman, who had been in a fit of rage, to a standstill.
Pei Yanning looked at Ning Tang in disbelief.
She never expected that this woman, who usually seemed gentle and mild-mannered, would suddenly take action.
She immediately screamed, "Ning Tang! How dare you hit me? You actually dared to hit me!"
As she spoke, Pei Yanning pounced on her like a madwoman.
He reached out to grab Ning Tang's clothes and face.
Ning Tang was pregnant and dared not confront her directly, so she could only turn aside to avoid her.
Just as she was about to escape, Pei Yanning noticed her movement and grabbed the back of her clothes.
Ning Tang was both angry and anxious: "Pei Yanning, let me go right now!"
"I'm pregnant now. If something happens to me, can you take responsibility?"
"Take responsibility? I think you're just faking it."
Pei Yuanning's eyes were red, and she couldn't listen to anything he said. Instead, she pulled Ning Tang even tighter.
"Do you think that being pregnant with Xu Qiaofeng's child makes you superior?"
"Let me tell you, even if you have a child, he will never truly love you! You don't deserve such a good man like him!"
Pei Yanning was almost dying of jealousy.
With so many women in the world, why is Ning Tang so lucky to be chosen by Xu Qiaofeng?
In terms of looks, family background, and a respectable life.
How could Ning Tang, that spendthrift woman, compare to her?
She must be shameless, using that face to deliberately seduce Xu Qiaofeng.
Pei Yanning felt increasingly resentful as she thought about it.
She cursed as she jabbed Ning Tang in the stomach with her knee.
Ning Tang was so frightened that her heart was in her throat. She subconsciously stepped back, bending her body to try to protect her stomach.
Pei Yanning saw through her thoughts and sneered inwardly.
He grabbed her clothes and threw her heavily against the wall.
Ning Tang gasped in pain.
She looked around, trying to find something to defend herself.
After looking around, all that remained was Pei Yanning's belt, which she had placed on the stool next to her.
Ning Tang had learned in the space before that there is an acupoint on the back of a person's neck. If you press it with skill or I hit it, you can make a person lose strength instantly.
It won't cause serious damage, and it's perfect for dealing with Pei Yanning, who's currently going crazy.
Before Pei Yanning could react, Ning Tang pulled on her belt and went behind her.
With a flick of her wrist, the metal buckle on her belt precisely locked onto an acupoint on the back of her neck.
"hiss--"
"It hurts!"
Pei Yanning felt a shiver run through her body, and the hand that was gripping Ning Tang's clothes instantly loosened its grip.
She staggered forward and almost fell off the bed to the floor.
She clutched the back of her neck and suddenly remembered that Ning Tang was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and knew acupuncture.
Pei Yanning clutched the back of her neck, her eyes wide with terror: "You! What did you just do to me!"
Ning Tang gripped her belt and retreated to the door, tightening her grip on her stomach.
His voice trembled with lingering fear, yet it carried a chilling undertone:
"You started it by injuring me; I was just defending myself. Pei Yanning, if you come any closer, I won't be polite!"
But Pei Yanning was not about to let it go.
She rubbed the back of her neck, feeling the numbness gradually subside, and was about to pounce on him again.
"You bitch! You dare to act tough with me! If I don't tear your face off today, I'm not a Pei!"
Just when things were at their most critical moment.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Wang Yingying's curious voice rang out from outside: "Tangtang, what's wrong with your room? I think I just heard someone shouting in the next room."
"Is that annoying Pei Yanning bothering you again? Open the door and see how I deal with her."
Upon hearing Wang Yingying's voice, Pei Yanning instinctively trembled.
The person who had disappeared and resigned has returned.
She suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, Ning Tang and Wang Yingying had covered her with a blanket right here.
Pei Yanning only dared to make a move against Ning Tang when she was alone.
If Wang Yingying were there, she wouldn't stand a chance.
Ning Tang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of Pei Yanning's momentary daze, he quickly called out towards the door, "Yingying, I'm fine."
"It's just that Comrade Pei has a slight misunderstanding, and we're trying to clear things up."
Ning Tang was afraid that Wang Yingying would really rush in and cause a big fuss.
After all, Xu Qiaofeng was also at the guesthouse; he had been traveling all day and was resting in his room.
It's better to avoid trouble.
Perfect timing, she also had some things she wanted to test Pei Yanning on privately.
But Wang Yingying outside the door had no idea.
She had sensed something was wrong from the next room, vaguely hearing words like "bitch" or something similar.
He immediately panicked and started banging on the door.
"Misunderstanding my foot! Do you think I don't know what Pei Yanning is like? Tangtang, don't protect her, open the door now, I want to see what she dares to do to you today!"
The loud banging on the door made Pei Yanning feel uneasy.
She knew that Wang Yingying was notoriously shrewish, and if she let her in, she would definitely not get the better of her.
After thinking it over, Pei Yanning glared at Ning Tang and said something harsh.
"Consider yourself lucky! Don't let me run into you alone next time!"
After saying that, he retreated towards the window like a rabbit.
They lived on the first floor, and the window wasn't locked, so they could easily squeeze out.
Seeing that she was about to escape, Ning Tang did not stop her, but said coldly.
"You'd better not cause me any more trouble, or next time it won't be just a simple numbness."
Pei Yanning didn't dare to look back. She hurriedly pushed open the window, stepped onto the windowsill, and jumped out.
It staggered when it landed, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only after there was no more noise outside did Ning Tang walk to the door, supporting her back, and slowly open it.
Wang Yingying immediately squeezed in and looked her up and down.
"Are you alright? Did she touch you? Is your stomach upset?"
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Ning Tang's belly, her face full of worry.
"I'm fine,"
Ning Tang pulled Wang Yingying down to sit, and then briefly recounted what had just happened.
"Luckily you came in time. She was afraid of you, so she ran away."
Wang Yingying was so angry after hearing this that she slammed her hand on the table.
"That Pei Yanning! She's really shameless! She knew you were pregnant and still dared to hit you. If I catch her again, I'll rip her hair out!"
She paused, then frowned and asked, "Do you think she'll hold a grudge and cause you trouble again? No, I have to tell my colleagues at the hospital to keep an eye on her!"
Ning Tang quickly stopped her: "Don't go. She was terrified when she ran away. She probably won't dare to come back."
Wang Yingying then gave up.
He sat with Ning Tang for a while longer and poured her a cup of hot water.
She cautioned, "You have to be careful. Don't meet Pei Yanning alone. If she contacts you again, just call me. I'll be there whenever you need me!"
Ning Tang nodded, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
Having a friend like Wang Yingying to protect me in this unfamiliar place certainly makes me feel much more at ease.
The two chatted for a while longer, then Wang Yingying, worried that Ning Tang might get tired, got up to leave.
"You rest well. I'll go to the canteen and get you some porridge. You're pregnant, you can't go hungry."
"No need, Yingying," Ning Tang said with a smile.
He recounted what had happened between him and Xu Qiaofeng at the guesthouse.
Wang Yingying then left with peace of mind.
After Wang Yingying left, Ning Tang was still shaken.
She quickly checked her pulse, which was stable. The baby in her belly hadn't been frightened; on the contrary, it was developing very well during this time.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled back into my stomach.
Ning Tang was also tired, so after a quick wash, she went to bed early.
This time she locked all the doors and windows.
Even if Pei Yanning wanted to come back in the middle of the night, she would have to freeze outside.
Ning Tang thought about it and decided to give her opinion to Dean Gou tomorrow. She wouldn't put herself in danger; this room had to be changed.
——
at the same time.
Xu Qiaofeng was in his room.
He was travel-worn that day, and had just taken a hot shower. He was wearing a white vest.
I had just draped the towel over my shoulder when I heard a soft knock on the door.
He thought it was Ning Tang who had come over, and his tone softened unconsciously: "Come in, the door isn't locked."
The door was slowly pushed open, but it wasn't Ning Tang who walked in; it was Pei Yanning.
She had changed into a light-colored floral dress at some point, her hair was neatly combed, and she had applied some rouge to her face.
She looked completely different from how she had acted in Ning Tang's room earlier.
Xu Qiaofeng's face instantly darkened, his tone as cold as ice: "Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of in your own room?"
Pei Yanning seemed oblivious to his hostility, and walked briskly to the center of the room, her eyes fixed on Xu Qiaofeng.
He was wearing a white vest, revealing clearly defined muscle lines in his arms.
His body, still slightly damp from the shower, gave him an even more dashing air than usual.
Pei Yanning's heart skipped a beat, and her voice softened considerably.
"Brother Qiaofeng, I... I just came to see you. You just got back from a mission today, you must be exhausted. I made some brown sugar ginger tea to warm you up."
Just after escaping by jumping out of the first-floor window, Pei Yanning was wondering where to sleep that night when she ran into Zhou Hairong.
Zhou Hairong managed to get her to talk in just a few words.
Upon hearing that Xu Qiaofeng had also arrived and was staying at the guesthouse that night, Zhou Hairong immediately had an idea.
Zhou Hairong still vividly remembered the time when Xu Qiaofeng, a junior, embarrassed her in the compound.
So she tried to trick Pei Yanning into dressing up nicely to go see Xu Qiaofeng.
If an ordinary person heard this, they would immediately change their expression.
If a man and a woman were in the same room late at night, and people found out, they would be utterly humiliated.
But Pei Yanning is different from others.
Upon hearing that she had taken the initiative to visit Xu Qiaofeng, she had already begun to dream of ousting Ning Tang and taking her place.
Without Zhou Hairong urging her, Pei Yanning put on Zhou Hairong's dress, quickly did her makeup, and went straight to Xu Qiaofeng's room.
Pei Yanning's thoughts returned.
As he spoke, he took out a thermos from behind him and carefully placed it on the table.
She even deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to make herself look more alluring.
Xu Qiaofeng didn't even glance at the insulated bucket, pointing instead to the door:
"I don't need it, you can leave now."
Pei Yanning's smile froze for a moment, but she didn't move.
Instead, she took two steps forward, her eyes instantly reddening.
Pei Yanning said, "Brother Qiaofeng, please don't be so mean to me, okay? I know you like Ning Tang, but I genuinely like you!"
“I’m gentler than her, I’m better at managing a household, and I can help you take care of the family. Why can’t you look at me?”
"I'll say it again, you go."
Xu Qiaofeng's voice grew even colder, his eyes filled with disgust.
“I already have Tangtang, and I will only spend my life with her. If you continue to cause trouble here, I will call the staff from the guesthouse.”
Pei Yanning seemed to have no choice but to suddenly reach out and try to grab Xu Qiaofeng's arm.
"Brother Qiaofeng, I know you're only nice to Ning Tang because she's pregnant with your child, but she doesn't deserve you at all!"
"If you stay with me, I promise I'll treat you a hundred times better than she ever did! A thousand times better!"
Xu Qiaofeng abruptly took a step back, dodging her hand, his tone full of warning: "Pei Yanning, have some self-respect!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the door.
He grabbed the clothes hanging on the wall by the door and quickly put them on.
If it weren't for the fear of having trouble explaining things later, Xu Qiaofeng would have given up long ago.
He has never hit a woman in his entire life.
Now, Pei Yanning is about to become the first person to break his patience.
Seeing that Xu Qiaofeng was about to leave, Pei Yanning hurriedly stepped forward.
She reached out to hug his arm, her voice trembling with tears.
"Brother Qiaofeng, don't go! I know I was wrong, but it's because I like you so much! Please give me another chance, okay?"
Xu Qiaofeng sidestepped.
Her tone was full of impatience: "Pei Yanning, can't you understand human language? I've already made it very clear that I only like Tangtang. If you keep pestering me like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As he spoke, he reached for the doorknob, trying to shoo Pei Yanning out.
But Pei Yanning seemed to have gone mad, suddenly lunging forward to hug Xu Qiaofeng's waist, refusing to let go.
If Xu Qiaofeng hadn't been prepared, she probably would have succeeded.
"I'm not leaving! Unless you promise me, I'm staying here!"
Xu Qiaofeng was furious at her persistent pestering.
He reached out to pry her fingers off the doorway.
His gloomy expression suggested he was afraid Ning Tang might see it and he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Xu Qiaofeng took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart:
"Let go right now! If Tangtang sees this, do you know how much she'll misunderstand?"
When Ning Tang was mentioned, Pei Yanning's eyes flickered, and she felt even more smug.
It would be best to let her see it, so that the woman will have the self-awareness to back out on her own.
Pei Yanning didn't let go; instead, she gripped even tighter.
Thinking of what Zhou Hairong had just said, Xu Qiaofeng's grandfather was the commander of the military region.
If I can use all my skills to get entangled with him, I will have countless riches!
Previously, the wives of officials who came to their hospital would respectfully address her as Mrs. Xu!
"I don't care! Ning Tang is not good enough for you at all. Only I can give you happiness! If you don't agree, I'll call someone and say that you laid a hand on me!"
These words thoroughly enraged Xu Qiaofeng.
He suddenly pushed Pei Yanning away with all his might.
Pei Yanning lost her balance, staggered back a few steps, and fell heavily to the ground.
He walked to the door and called down the hallway, "Waiter! Waiter!"
Soon, the waiter on duty came running over.
Seeing the scene in the room, he was startled: "Comrade, what happened?"
Xu Qiaofeng pointed at Pei Yanning on the ground, his tone icy.
"This Comrade Pei broke into my room without my permission and is harassing me. Take her away now, I'm calling the police, she's interfering in a military marriage!"
