Chapter 104 Brother Nie and I are a match made in heaven
She sobbed, hesitant to speak, and shyly glanced at Nie Ronghua, whose face was ashen. The handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a pretzel.
The old lady froze, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Nie Ronghua and Zhong Wanrou, her heart sinking.
When I first met Zhong Wanrou last year, I thought she was a well-behaved and gentle person.
But once the halo of being a daughter of the Su family is removed, she is nothing more than an orphan girl with problematic social status who escaped from a farm.
He doesn't seem to be a good match for her, a son of the Nie family.
Even if they have already slept together, the Nie family cannot marry him.
The old lady's face was stern. She slammed her cane down on the ground, the sound of it making a sharp "thud" on the concrete floor shake the dust in the room.
Her gaze was sharp as a knife, and she said with great authority, "Confess honestly!"
She couldn't believe that her proud grandson would be so blind as to fall for such a thing.
She's not even as good as Sun Qiao!
Zhong Wanrou trembled with fright, looking pitifully at the old lady, stammering, "I, I..."
Seeing the cane rise again, she bit her lip hard. "When Brother Nie and I were sleeping together, someone saw us."
I didn't want to either.
I care about my reputation!
She looked up at the old lady, her face streaked with tears, yet she stubbornly pleaded, "Old lady, I... I can only marry Brother Nie. Otherwise, how can I face people in the future? I might as well just kill myself."
Xie Mian and Huo Zhenhua were already outside the door, and they opened the door a crack.
Upon hearing the conversation inside, the two of them simultaneously slowed their breathing, preparing to gauge the Nie family's attitude.
Nie Ronghua remained silent throughout, sitting on the bed like a black-faced Buddha.
The old lady rubbed her temples in frustration, pointed to the wall, and roared, "Then go ahead and kill yourself!"
My son Ronghua injured his groin and has difficulty moving, let alone doing anything else.
Even if you are as beautiful as the moon and as lovely as a fairy under the moon, he is powerless to help you.
Besides, with your appearance and background, no normal family would even consider you.
I don't know which word offended Zhong Wanrou.
She suddenly stood up, looked down at the old lady with resentment, pointed her finger at her, and then slammed it back.
She raised her chin proudly and declared, "I will not give up!"
Brother Nie and I are a match made in heaven.
I can help him rise through the ranks; he'll surely become a division commander, an army commander, or even higher.
In his previous life, Nie Ronghua became a division commander in the Southeast Military Region five years later, and was promoted to army commander ten years later.
Then he climbed to a high position step by step.
All of this is inseparable from her help in managing things and the good reputation she cultivated.
But she forgot that after her rebirth, she no longer had any special abilities, nor did she have her previous identity and resources. How could she pave the way for Nie Ronghua?
She spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, so easy and natural, as if the promotion was entirely up to her.
The old lady looked at her with disdain, her sarcasm undisguised. "Who do you think you are?"
You should resolve your own identity issue first, otherwise if someone reports you, you'll still have to be sent to the farm.
My temple is too small to contain such a great Buddha as you. Get lost!
Zhong Wanrou's expression changed drastically, and she looked at the old lady in disbelief, "Are you really going to kick me out?"
Do you still want to marry Su Meng?
Heh! Su Meng and Huo Zhenhua have been sleeping together for ages, you guys...”
Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully.
Xie Mian strode in with a stern face, his icy gaze falling on Zhong Wanrou, who still hadn't put away her wicked smile.
"You're Zhong Wanrou?"
"Who are you?" Zhong Wanrou looked at the man who was full of murderous intent with suspicion, took two steps back timidly, and cast a pleading look at Nie Ronghua.
"Oh!"
Xie Mian sneered and raised his hand to slap her twice.
Then, looking at Nie Ronghua and the old lady, she said in a distant and cold tone, "She is someone who escaped from the farm. Not only did she spread rumors and slander my Xiaomeng, but she also conspired with assassins to kill my Xiaomeng."
Surely your Nie family wouldn't protect someone with such a long list of crimes?
He had never hit a woman before, but when he thought of Zhong Wanrou's behavior, he couldn't be rational or kind.
If his health hadn't prevented him, he would have gone to seek revenge long ago.
He's just that protective of his own!
The old lady was so shocked that she forgot to breathe. She looked at Xie Mian, who was radiating a murderous aura, with surprise and gave a barely perceptible nod.
She was originally dissatisfied that Su Meng, after arriving in the Southeast Military Region, did not show any manners in visiting or taking care of the injured Nie Ronghua, but instead had a big fuss with Huo Zhenhua.
She was unhappy and looked down on the Su family even more.
But after hearing Xie Mian's question and seeing his aggressive, cold, and distant appearance, her heart skipped a beat.
I'm so annoyed!
How could it be such a coincidence that I stumbled upon Zhong Wanrou in Nie Ronghua's room?
Did they also find out that Ronghua slept with this woman?
Then... when you try to break off the engagement, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you're in the right.
Nie Ronghua didn't even look at Zhong Wanrou, and said indifferently, "My family has nothing to do with her. You can do whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wanrou panicked! She was terrified!
Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks in an instant.
She turned and lunged at Nie Ronghua, grabbing his arms with both hands, "Brother Nie, I don't want to!"
You cannot stand by and watch someone die.
We are truly a match made in heaven, and I can really help you.
Su Meng..."
Upon hearing her mention Su Meng, Xie Mian raised his large, fan-like hand high, ready to strike at any moment, and said, "Try biting me again?"
If he hadn't been mindful of his own status, he would have strangled this vicious woman long ago.
This time, he would personally oversee her arrival at the farm and have someone take good care of her.
Nie Ronghua also disdainfully shoved her aside, turned to the guard beside him, and said, "Take her away!"
Zhong Wanrou naturally refused to give in obediently.
She struggled violently, scratching, biting, and cursing at the guard.
In no time, two bloody scratches were left on the guard's face.
Then, taking advantage of her position as a woman, she shouted that she was being molested and prepared to jump out of the window when no one was looking.
She thought that the woman would definitely help her; she couldn't let them catch her and get into the farm.
She's trying to escape!
Even if the Nie family can't tolerate her, she won't go back to the farm.
Xie Mian wouldn't let her escape, so he changed his palm strike to a hand chop and knocked her unconscious with one blow.
"She should go to hell together with Zhong Cuilin and Shen Wuyang."
If it weren't for the scheming of that family of three, Su Mianzhi wouldn't have suffered ten years of confinement.
His sister-in-law wouldn't die in childbirth.
Su Meng wouldn't have gone abroad to live alone at the age of ten.
There's also a little nephew who's probably not unaware of his fate.
The Su family's vast fortune will not be completely wiped out.
Even if they died a hundred or a thousand times, they could not undo the pain suffered by Su Meng's family.
They all deserve to die!
Xie Mian has always been resilient and doesn't easily show his emotions.
This was the first time Nie Ronghua had seen him outside of a mission, his whole body radiating murderous intent, his eyes filled with such tangible hatred as he looked at Zhong Wanrou as if she were already dead.
He was so startled that his fingers, hidden under the covers, curled up, deeply worried about his marriage to Su Meng.
He glanced at Madam Nie, and his heart sank as he thought of how his mother had vehemently opposed their marriage after hearing Zhong Wanrou's gossip.
The room fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
Huo Zhenhua brought two police officers with him at just the right moment.
"This is Zhong Wanrou, take her away!"
He nodded to Nie Ronghua as a greeting, then turned around nimbly.
Xie Mian didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Nie Ronghua's Adam's apple bobbed; he wanted to call out to Xie Mian, and also to Huo Zhenhua.
But seeing their cold and stern expressions, the words that were on the tip of my tongue slipped down my throat like knives, leaving me feeling both pained and stifled.
He said, "Let's go through the discharge procedures! I want to go home."
Also, I'd like to visit the Su family.
Madam Nie frowned in displeasure, her face resolute: "I disagree!"
Nie Ronghua let out a heavy sigh, "This marriage..."
