Liu Ruonan looked at the scene before her. The streets were filled with joy. Her heart was also filled with joy.
In the thick smoke, she spotted a familiar figure approaching from a distance. It was a girl, dressed in a very Western style. Her expression was unusually serious, without a trace of a smile. Passersby greeted her, but she simply nodded, making no move to stop.
Liu Ruonan just stood there blankly, watching the girl getting closer and closer.
Xiang Tingting!
Yes, that's right. That girl is Xiang Tingting, Xiang Dong's daughter.
However, when Liu Ruonan approached, she discovered that Xiang Tingting's makeup was very heavy. She was wearing a bright red woolen coat, trousers, and a pair of ten-centimeter high heels, which were high boots that reached above her knees.
Xiang Tingting looked very sexy now. She wore a beret on her head, and her permed hair let its long, wavy curls fall naturally on her shoulders. Her lipstick was bright red, as if competing with the red woolen coat she was wearing.
Winter nights come especially early. It’s only six o’clock now, but it’s already dark.
Liu Ruonan even suspected she was seeing things; she was merely observing in the dim light of the streetlights and the fireworks. Xiang Tingting used to look quite arrogant, but at least she still looked like a student. With her outfit today, if you weren't very familiar with her, you wouldn't be able to recognize her.
After a while, Xiang Tingting walked in front of Liu Ruonan.
She suddenly stopped and stood in front of Liu Ruonan, staring at her without blinking, without a trace of expression on her face. However, her eyes were filled with deep hatred. It felt like a fire was about to burst out and burn Liu Ruonan to ashes in the next moment.
That look was completely unlike the look a girl of Xiang Tingting's age should have. It made people shudder. Chen Jianmin couldn't help but feel a chill as she watched. She couldn't help but pull Liu Ruonan behind her to protect her.
Xiang Tingting suddenly smiled. She pulled the scarf around her neck to cover her chin. The cold winter wind was whistling past, and it was very cold. She put her hands into the pockets of her woolen coat again.
He just looked at Liu Ruonan with a sneer on his face and didn't say a word for a long time.
Liu Ruonan wanted to get out from under Chen Jianmin, but she had done nothing wrong. Why was she such a coward? If Xiang Tingting insisted on blaming her for Xiangdong's death, there was no way she could change her mind. But at least, she was innocent.
Although she was indirectly responsible for that incident, it was nothing more than Xiangdong reaping what he had sown. If Liu Ruonan hadn't done this in this life, she would still be like in her previous life, abused by Chen Ergou and bullied by Mei Hong, living a miserable life for generations to come.
She was acting in self-defense, no! It wasn't even self-defense. She had simply escaped a scam. The final outcome of the incident was beyond her control.
Zhuang Sheng, who was setting off firecrackers nearby, saw the scene before him. It was as if Xia Tingting was confronting Liu Ruonan. Zhuang Sheng was worried and hurried over, blocking Liu Ruonan behind him again.
He turned to look at Xiang Tingting. She still had that cold smile on her face, but the moment she met Zhuang Sheng's eyes, something changed. Her eyes seemed to soften in that instant.
"Brother Zhuang Sheng." Xiang Tingting spoke, and pulled her scarf again, revealing her chin. The smile on the corner of her mouth became even wider, and her fiery red lips were gently pursed with a hint of shyness.
Zhuang Sheng nodded, but his face showed no expression and he didn't say anything.
Seeing Zhuang Sheng's indifference, a sneer spread from the corner of Xiang Tingting's mouth. She leaned forward to glance at Liu Ruonan, then set her eyes on Zhuang Sheng again.
"What's wrong? You've done something wrong, so you're afraid to even see people? Do you think you'll have to protect her from now on? I'm afraid she won't be able to live a peaceful life in this life. At best, she'll just be surviving."
"Xiang Tingting, be careful with your words," Zhuang Sheng said sternly, "Your father's death had nothing to do with Ruonan, yet you insist on placing this hatred on Ruonan. It's truly unreasonable."
"It's unreasonable! My father raised her to this age. They say the love of raising a child is greater than the love of giving birth to a child. How could she be so cruel? She watched something like this happen and just let it go? My father really raised her for nothing."
Xiang Tingting couldn't help but feel filled with hatred when she thought about her father's death. His father's death was so tragic. When she saw him, although the cadaver beautician had almost repaired it, she could still see scars all over his body. Moreover, his neck had been cut off long ago. I heard that in the end, only a layer of skin was left!
Even though she hated Liu Ergou, she also hated Liu Ruonan. If Liu Ruonan had been at home at the time, perhaps things would not have developed to this point today.
After all, Liu Ergou's quarrel with his father was all about Liu Ruonan. Everyone knew that Xiangdong had promised Liu Ruonan to Dazhuang, Liu Ergou's son, long ago. If Liu Ruonan hadn't married Zhuang Sheng, if Liu Ruonan hadn't left Xiangdong, then none of this would have happened.
In Xiang Tingting's heart, Liu Ruonan was the culprit! Therefore, she placed all her hatred on Liu Ruonan.
Moreover, she had heard something more or less. She had heard that Liu Ruonan had come to Xiang Dong's house at that time. After she left, what happened? No one knew. However, she believed that Liu Ruonan could not have done nothing.
Xiang Tingting's feelings for Zhuang Sheng began when she was very young.
Zhuang Sheng was handsome, like a handsome man from a movie. Xiang Tingting fell in love with him at that young age. She had always dreamed of marrying him.
Later, Zhuang Sheng joined the army and was not in the village very often. She thought to herself that she must study hard and work where Zhuang Sheng was in the future.
In fact, Xiang Tingting’s idea is very simple. As long as the distance between two people is close, their feelings will naturally become closer.
Moreover, she believed that one day Zhuang Sheng would notice her feelings for him.
However, she never expected that one day her dream would be shattered. Zhuang Sheng actually got married, and his partner was Liu Ruonan, whom she hated for so many years!
