Chapter 38: Ning Tang's Unfaithful Affairs
at the same time.
Ning Xin was tied to a stool, with a rag in her mouth and marks all over her body from being whipped with a belt.
"What did I say during the day? If you can't resolve this today, I'll break your legs!" Zhang Yanfei sneered, twirling the wooden stick in his hand.
He was stupid to actually believe Ning Xin's casual remarks.
She's a capitalist's daughter whom everyone hates. Even if she gets to know an official's wife, there's nothing they can gain from her, so why would they help her?
Ning Xin was so stupid as to dare to lay a hand on Mrs. Li. Now look what happened, Mrs. Li's husband publicly humiliated him in front of everyone in the team.
The investigation didn't resolve the issue, and now I've offended my superiors!
Just thinking about it made Zhang Yanfei want to tear the woman in front of him to pieces!
Ning Xin was terrified when she saw the stick in Zhang Yanfei's hand. Tears and snot clung to her face, making her look disgusting and pathetic.
The rag stuffed in his mouth muffled all his pleas for mercy, leaving him only able to make muffled whimpering sounds.
"You're not even as good as a dog now."
Zhang Yanfei's tone was full of sarcasm, "Dare to mess with Mrs. Li? Do you know how much I'll suffer in the team because of something her husband said casually!"
Ning Xin trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes showed resentment when she heard the words "Mrs. Li".
She originally wanted to use Mrs. Li's connections to help Zhang Yanfei make connections, and also to make things easier for herself.
Unexpectedly, after a few words, he started arguing with Mrs. Li and accidentally pushed her.
Looking back now, Ningxin is filled with deep regret.
Seeing that Ning Xin still dared to be defiant, Zhang Yanfei's anger intensified.
He picked up the stick and swung it at Ning Xin from both sides.
He was afraid of hitting someone so hard they'd end up in the hospital, so he held back, but the wooden stick still hurt terribly when it hit his body.
After a while, Zhang Yanfei was so tired that she was covered in sweat.
Since there was training tomorrow, Ningxin was spared this time.
He casually tossed the stick on the ground and turned to take a shower.
Ning Xin slumped on the stool, her heart filled with hatred.
It's all Ning Tang's fault!
If she had agreed to let Xu Qiaofeng help her back then, she wouldn't have been beaten!
Moreover, she doesn't even have a backer now; Ning Tang stole her chance to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Xu family!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became; Ningxin's eyes were full of scheming.
In her past life, she married into the Xu family, and those two old men in the Xu family would urge her to have a child at the drop of a hat.
Even her sisters-in-law didn't give her a kind look.
In this lifetime, Ning Tang married into the Xu family, and she was pregnant. Wouldn't the entire Xu family treat her like a treasure?
Why does she get all the good things?
Ning Xin gritted her teeth and suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Grandma Xu had a heart condition. If she spread rumors outside that the child Ning Tang was carrying was not Xu Qiaofeng's bastard child...
Grandma Xu will definitely be so angry that she'll die, the Xu family will be in chaos, and Ning Tang will not only be disliked by the Xu family, but may also be resented by Xu Qiaofeng!
Ning Xin became more and more excited as she thought about it.
She couldn't wait any longer; she had to spread the rumor as soon as possible.
She wanted to make Ning Tang taste what it was like to fall from the clouds, a feeling even worse than being left to an old bachelor in her previous life!
The Xu family barely slept that night.
After leaving the space, Ning Tang improved the prescription and went downstairs to see Grandma Xu.
The elderly person is deficient in both qi and blood, and is very tired after what just happened, so they are already in a light sleep.
Grandpa Xu was forced to go to another room to rest by his eldest grandson, and now only Xu Qiaofeng, who was keeping watch at night, was left in the house.
Upon seeing her arrive, the man immediately stood up.
"I'll stay here and watch over things. You have to go to work at the hospital tomorrow, so go back and rest."
"Don't you have training tomorrow? Can your body handle it?" Ning Tang hadn't forgotten that Xu Qiaofeng's back injury hadn't healed yet.
Xu Qiaofeng raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Although there was weariness in his eyes, he still smiled at Ning Tang, who was flattered.
"Tangtang, are you worried about me?"
Ning Tang's face turned red instantly.
What time is it? How can he still be in the mood to amuse himself here!
"I'll just take Grandma's pulse and then I'll leave." Ning Tang placed her hand on her wrist; although her pulse was still weaker than normal, it was much more stable than before.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little.
As they were about to leave, Ning Tang paused, her voice soft: "Don't stay up too long, remember to change the dressing on your back."
"Okay, Tangtang."
Xu Qiaofeng couldn't help but smile.
When the second brother, Xu Qiaoyan, came in, he saw his third brother grinning foolishly.
"They've all disappeared, why are you still looking?"
"Look again, your eyes are practically glued to me." Xu Qiaoyan teased deliberately, "When Grandma suggested you marry Ning Tang, weren't you all against it? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Xu Qiaofeng instantly wiped the smile off his face.
Her tone carried a gentleness she herself was unaware of: "I was blind before, I didn't realize how wonderful Tangtang was."
"She's a good girl."
Seeing how engrossed he was, Xu Qiaoyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But he still solemnly instructed, "Alright, it's not too late to know how good she is now. You must treat Ning Tang well in the future. Don't be like a silent gourd like before. A wife is not a brother. You have to pamper and coax her."
Xu Qiaofeng nodded.
——
the next day.
Xu Qiaofeng escorted Ning Tang to the hospital entrance and suddenly noticed that the other people in the hospital were looking at him strangely.
There were many people pointing and whispering about them all around.
"Are all your colleagues at the hospital like this?"
Ning Tang also sensed something was wrong and frowned, saying, "Something might have happened at the hospital. I'll be going now. Be careful on your way back."
All the way to the department.
The increased visibility on the road has not decreased but rather increased, and has even become more and more excessive.
Even the dean looked hesitant to speak when he saw him.
"Dr. Ning, how about I give you the day off today, so you can go home and rest?"
"Dean, has something happened?" Ning Tang looked up, her tone calm.
She's not stupid; the dean wouldn't give her leave for no reason if things were so unusual.
Thinking back to the pointing and whispering looks she'd just received on the street, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
The dean sighed.
He glanced around, led Ning Tang into the office, and asked in a low voice.
"Have you offended anyone these past few days? A group of women came to the hospital early this morning. Judging from their accents, they were from the countryside. They started making a scene, saying you were having an affair, that you were pregnant with her brother's child, and that you even married someone else after breaking up with him..."
The words that followed were so offensive that the dean didn't continue.
Ning Tang's pupils contracted.
Ning Xin's distorted face flashed through my mind instantly.
Who else but her would be so malicious as to fabricate such disgusting rumors!
Ning Tang took a deep breath: "Dean, this is a rumor, I will handle it."
"But I won't go back to rest today. The whole hospital probably knows by now. If I ask for leave at this time, it's tantamount to confirming the news!"
"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need any help."
Looking at Ning Tang's calm demeanor, the dean secretly sighed that Commander Xu had indeed found a daughter-in-law with a very stable temperament.
