Chapter 131: Dogs Fighting Dogs
"Brother Yanfei, how could you say such a thing?"
Ning Xin's voice was trembling with tears, but more than anything, it was filled with disappointment in Zhang Yanfei.
Whether in her past life or this life, the only man in her heart is clearly him!
“We’ve been together for so long, don’t you know what kind of person I am? This kind of test is simply not possible in modern medicine. If you make me do it, aren’t you just pushing me to the brink? What will people think of me if word gets out?”
Zhang Yanfei was speechless at her question, but the gossip downstairs was still swirling in his mind.
He remembered his mother constantly talking about wanting to hold her grandson.
If these two children really aren't his own, he'll not only become the laughingstock of the entire military region, but he also won't be able to explain it to his family.
“But they’re telling such convincing stories, how can I believe you?” Zhang Yanfei’s tone softened a bit, but it was clear that she still didn’t believe Ning Xin.
Seeing this, Ningxin simply sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and started wailing.
"Why is my life so miserable! I'm pregnant with twins and my husband still suspects me. If I had known it would be like this, I would have been better off not being with you in the first place!"
"If you really don't believe me, let's get a divorce right now, and I'll take the kids and live on my own!"
Ning Xin knew that Zhang Yanfei valued his reputation the most and wanted a son the most. After making such a scene, he would definitely back down.
Moreover, the two had already obtained a marriage application from their superiors.
I also went to the neighborhood office to get the relevant certificates, and all that's left is to have a proper banquet to let everyone know.
Sure enough, Zhang Yanfei panicked when he saw that she wanted a divorce.
He quickly knelt down to help her up, his voice tinged with anxiety: "Xin Xin, that's not what I meant. I'm just a little confused."
"Stop making a fuss, get up quickly, the ground is cold, it's bad for the child."
As he spoke, he reached out to wipe away her tears.
If Ning Xin weren't pregnant with his child, Zhang Yanfei would have slapped her long ago, given his usual temper.
Seeing that he had given in, Ning Xin felt a weight lifted from her heart, but she still wouldn't let it go: "Then will you still doubt me in the future? Will you still listen to the nonsense from those people outside?"
"I don't doubt it anymore, I don't doubt it anymore," Zhang Yanfei nodded quickly.
"If anyone says these things to me again, I'll be the first to talk back! Xin Xin, don't worry, I'll definitely treat you well from now on and I'll never lose my temper with you again."
He helped Ningxin to her feet, carefully helped her to bed, and covered her with a blanket.
She turned and went to the kitchen to cook brown sugar eggs for her.
The moment he turned around, Zhang Yanfei's expression instantly turned impatient.
Watching Zhang Yanfei's busy figure, Ning Xin's lips curled into a smug smile.
After a short while of being happy, she suddenly realized that those rumors must not have appeared out of thin air. Who was behind them?
Ning Xin immediately thought of Lu Niannian.
Besides her, who else would go to such lengths to harm themselves?
Ning Tang? She's incredibly busy right now. Besides, she's been bullied by me since she was a child, how could she possibly dare to retaliate?
Ning Xin clenched her fists, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
Lu Niannian, you just wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!
Meanwhile, Lu Niannian was sitting at home, listening to Zhou Hairong report on the situation outside.
“Niannian, you didn’t see it, Ningxin had a fight with those old ladies downstairs this morning, and she cried her eyes out. I guess Zhang Yanfei suspects her.”
Zhou Hairong's face was full of pride, "Our move was brilliant, it created a conflict between the two of them without lifting a finger."
Lu Niannian held the teacup, gently blew on the steam, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
"This is just the beginning; the real show is yet to come."
She put down her teacup, her eyes turning sinister.
“Now that Ning Xin has a child, Zhang Yanfei will definitely be more tolerant of her. We need to add some more fuel to the fire and make Zhang Yanfei completely lose trust in her.”
Zhou Hairong quickly stepped forward: "What good ideas do you have? Tell me, Mom will listen to you."
Lu Niannian thought for a moment and then said.
"Isn't Ning Xin always very concerned about her reputation? Let's start with her reputation."
"Find a few more gossipy old ladies and have them spread rumors that Ning Xin had an improper relationship with a married man when she was in Shanghai, and that he almost got confronted by his wife."
"If you link Ning Tang's adoptive mother being a capitalist to this matter, you'll say that Ning Xin and her sister are both shameless people."
Zhou Hairong's eyes lit up.
"That's a great idea! This way, we can not only ruin Ning Xin's reputation, but also drag Ning Tang down with us. It's killing two birds with one stone! I'll take care of it tomorrow and make sure this story spreads throughout the entire family building."
In order to completely destroy Ning Tang, Lu Niannian used every means at her disposal.
She was sure they wouldn't fall for this dog-eat-dog trick!
—
The rumors circulating in the family dormitory building took a different turn the next morning.
Previously, it was only said that Ning Xin's child was not Zhang Yanfei's, but now they are adding fuel to the fire, saying that when Ning Xin was in Shanghai, she was entangled with a married man and was even blocked at the door by his wife and scolded. In the end, she had no choice but to come here.
Some even say that Ning Xin married Zhang Yanfei because she was pregnant with that man's child and wanted to find someone to take her place.
These words spread like wildfire, quickly reaching Zhang Yanfei's ears.
He was training in the team when several comrades came over and asked him in a sarcastic tone.
"Yanfei, I heard that when your wife was in Shanghai, she had an affair with a married man?"
"So, you got a secondhand item, and it even has two kids. That's really unfair."
Zhang Yanfei's face instantly turned bright red.
This teammate has some connections, so he didn't dare to lay a hand on him.
He slammed his fist into a nearby tree and roared, "What nonsense are you spouting! My wife isn't that kind of person!"
That's what they said, but Zhang Yanfei also had some doubts.
Ning Xin was indeed a girl when she was with him...
However, Ningxin was always very proactive, as if she had experience.
Could it be that the rumors are all true?
After training, Zhang Yanfei did not go home as usual, but went to the state-run restaurant alone.
He drank glass after glass of wine, his mind a jumbled mess.
Normally, Zhang Yanfei would have lost her temper long ago and given Ning Xin a good beating, regardless of whether it was true or not, as long as she felt good.
But now Ningxin is pregnant with his precious son, so she can only endure it!
But when he thought about Ning Xin's experiences in Shanghai, he couldn't help but have doubts.
It wasn't until late at night that Zhang Yanfei returned home, reeking of alcohol.
When Ningxin saw him return, she rushed forward to help him, but he pushed her away.
"Don't touch me!" Zhang Yanfei's voice reeked of alcohol and carried a hint of disgust. "Ning Xin, tell me honestly, when you were in Shanghai, did you have a relationship with a married man?"
Ning Xin stumbled from his push and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing the male fan's cold eyes, my heart tightened.
"Brother Yanfei, why are you listening to those people's nonsense again? When I was in Shanghai, I never had any relationship with any married man. Those are just rumors made up by others!"
Ning Xin tried to explain, but Zhang Yanfei wouldn't listen at all.
"Rumors? If it weren't true, why would people make it sound so convincing?"
Zhang Yanfei sneered, "Ning Xin, I really misjudged you! I thought you were a simple and good girl, but I never expected you to be so filthy!"
"I didn't!" Ning Xin was so anxious that tears were almost coming out.
"Brother Yanfei, you have to believe me, I really didn't do those things! It's Lu Niannian, it must be Lu Niannian who's behind this. She's just jealous that I'm pregnant with your child and wants to ruin our relationship!"
Zhang Yanfei paused for a moment when he heard Lu Niannian's name.
He recalled Lu Niannian's previous advances towards him and the way she looked at Ning Xin, and his heart began to waver.
On second thought, Lu Niannian and Ning Xin are friends, so why would she harm Ning Xin?
Moreover, my promotion during this period was entirely due to Lu Niannian's efforts.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lu Niannian isn't that kind of person." He frowned, his tone still icy.
Ningxin was both angry and anxious when she saw that he didn't believe her but believed Lu Niannian instead.
"Zhang Yanfei, you're such a fool! Can't you see how Lu Niannian feels about you?"
"She just wants to take you away from me, that's why she made up these rumors to hurt me!"
Ning Xin excitedly grabbed Zhang Yanfei's arm, trying to bring him to his senses.
But Zhang Yanfei suddenly shook off her hand, and Ning Xin lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Her stomach hit the corner of the table, and a sharp pain shot through her.
"ah!"
Ning Xin screamed, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands, her face turning deathly pale.
Seeing her appearance, Zhang Yanfei sobered up considerably.
He quickly crouched down and carefully helped her up, his voice filled with panic.
"Xinxin, how are you? Is your stomach upset? I'll take you to the hospital, let's go to the hospital now!"
He picked up Ningxin and ran quickly towards the door.
Throughout the journey, Ning was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, constantly muttering to herself.
"My child, my child..."
Zhang Yanfei felt both regret and fear. He regretted his impulsive actions earlier. If this matter escalated, he would definitely be dismissed from his position again.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor immediately began examining Ningxin.
Zhang Yanfei waited anxiously outside, her heart pounding with worry.
It took quite a while for the doctor to come out of the emergency room.
Zhang Yanfei rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my wife? Is the baby alright?"
The doctor glanced at him, his tone somewhat serious.
"The patient was just hit and showed signs of miscarriage, but thankfully she was brought in in time and the baby is saved for now. However, she is very weak now and needs to rest in bed and cannot be subjected to any more stimulation. If anything else happens, the baby will really be lost."
Zhang Yanfei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the baby was saved.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
He quickly thanked them and then strode into the emergency room.
Ning Xin lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper. When she saw Zhang Yanfei come in, tears streamed down her face again.
"Brother Yanfei, I almost lost our child."
Her voice was filled with grievance and lingering fear.
Ning Xin simply couldn't bear to think about how she would stay by Zhang Yanfei's side if she lost her child.
Zhang Yanfei sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand tightly.
“Xin Xin, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have believed those rumors, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you, and I shouldn’t have pushed you down.”
"Don't worry, I'll never do that again. I promise I won't drink anymore. Please forgive me, okay?"
"Don't tell anyone about this. If anyone asks, just say you slipped and fell because you weren't walking properly."
Even now, Zhang Yanfei still thinks about her position.
Seeing his sincere expression, Ning Xin's anger subsided considerably.
She knew it.
Although Zhang Yanfei has a bad temper, she still cares about her and her child.
"Brother Yanfei, I know you're upset, but those rumors are really false. You have to believe me, okay?"
"I believe you, I believe you." Zhang Yanfei nodded quickly.
"No matter what others say from now on, I will never doubt you again. Xinxin, you should rest well. I'll go buy you your favorite milk candy."
He carefully covered Ning Xin with the blanket, then turned and left the ward.
Watching Zhang Yanfei's departing figure, Ning Xin's eyes turned vicious.
Lu Niannian, you almost caused me to lose my child this time. I'm going to settle this score with you!
Ning Xin began to plan how to get revenge on Lu Niannian.
—
At this time, Lu Niannian was unaware of Ning Xin's condition in the hospital.
She was at home discussing the next steps with Zhou Hairong.
"Mom, Ningxin's reputation is almost ruined now, and Zhang Yanfei has become suspicious of her. What should we do next?" Lu Niannian asked.
Zhou Hairong thought for a moment and said, "I think we can take advantage of Ning Xin's current weakness and let her have a fight with Ning Tang."
"Think about it, Ning Tang is highly regarded in the hospital now. If Ning Xin and Ning Tang have a falling out, it will definitely affect Ning Tang's reputation. At that time, the position of director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department will definitely not be hers."
Lu Niannian's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea! So how do we get the two of them to start fighting?"
Zhou Hairong smiled and said.
"Isn't that simple? You can pretend to go to the hospital to see Ning Xin, and then speak ill of Ning Tang in front of her, saying that Ning Tang has always resented Ning Xin because of her adoptive mother being a capitalist."
“Ning Xin is a petty person, she will definitely believe what you say, and she will definitely go to Ning Tang to settle accounts.”
Lu Niannian nodded: "Mom, your idea is brilliant! I'll go to the hospital right now, and while Zhang Yanfei is away, I can have a good talk with Ningxin."
She picked up her bag and hurried towards the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu Niannian reluctantly bought some pastries and went into Ningxin's ward.
When Ning Xin saw her come in, her eyes were full of hostility, and she said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Niannian quickly put on a concerned look, placed the pastries on the bedside table, and said.
“Xin Xin, how could you say that? We’re friends. You’re sick, of course I have to come see you. I heard you almost lost your baby, that’s so pitiful.”
She sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding Ningxin's hand, her voice full of sympathy.
Ning Xin shook off her hand and snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be kind to me. You must have spread those rumors. You just want to ruin my relationship with Yan Fei and then steal him away!"
Lu Niannian's smile froze for a moment.
How did this idiot realize he was flirting with Zhang Yanfei?
