Chapter 107 Rival in Love
Thinking back to what the guard who went to chase after Zhong Wanrou for the teardrop-shaped pendant said when he returned—"She said it had been lost a long time ago! She didn't have it on her."
A simple "dropped" or "not there" chilled his burning passion to the bone.
He wished he could turn back time and never have met Zhong Wanrou.
I've worn that teardrop-shaped pendant since childhood and have never taken it off.
But last year, Zhong Wanrou specifically requested that this pendant be used as compensation, and he inexplicably took it and gave it to her.
Nie Ronghua never expected that it was his token of love.
At this moment, he felt a little resentful towards his old man. Why couldn't he just explain things clearly?
Could it be... that he and Su Meng are truly destined to be apart?
Sun Qiao glanced at Nie Ronghua, whose face was ashen and whose expression was dejected, and then looked in the direction of Su Meng.
Puzzled, I wondered, what's wrong with them?
Did you have a fight?
hehe!
It's good that you argued!
This gave her the opportunity to get close to Nie Ronghua.
You can see the way Huo Zhenhua and Cheng Wangshu look at Su Meng.
She was furious.
Even a blind person could understand what they meant.
Why do all the good men revolve around Su Meng?
No!
She won't allow it!
How could Su Meng possibly deserve to live such a good life?
Thinking about her plan, a slight smile appeared on her lips as she silently thought: Su Meng, get ready! There's more surprise for you later!
Then, she looked at Huo Zhenhua, whose thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and smiled maliciously, "Congratulations! You've gained another rival in love."
She spoke the word "love rival" so softly, as if a feather were brushing past, but the shock it brought made people tense.
Huo Zhenhua naturally noticed the refined and composed Cheng Wangshu.
Although the man was talking to Su Mianzhi, his annoying gaze kept drifting towards Su Meng.
Even with Ah Da and Grandma between them, he was able to hand the water cup to Su Meng at the right time.
Thinking of the scene of Su Meng and him chatting happily on the train, Huo Zhenhua's fingers curled up, and his palms were sweaty with nervousness.
But he remained calm, glanced coldly at Sun Qiao, and sneered, "Good luck to you!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Qinglin waving at him. He turned back and warned, "Comrade Sun, pulling back from the brink might allow you to escape unscathed."
Otherwise, even the Nie family can't protect you.
"What did you say? Get out!" Sun Qiao shouted angrily, stomping her foot.
She hasn't broken any laws or regulations, so no one can do anything about her.
The Nie family?
Haha! She finally understood: the Nie family may be powerful and influential, but they wouldn't protect an outsider like her.
Otherwise, how could the gun research institute dare to dismiss her so easily?
What you want, you can only achieve through your own efforts.
Huo Zhenhua is no good, so let's choose someone better—Nie Ronghua's family background and appearance meet her pursuit and goals, he's the one!
Nie Ronghua had no idea that Sun Qiao had her eye on him.
After a long silence upon returning, he finally spoke slowly: "Go and find out who injured Su Meng? And what exactly is her relationship with Huo Zhenhua?"
The guard, Xiao Liu, immediately went out.

Five or six minutes later, Xie Mian entered Su Meng's ward with a dark face and sat down sulking.
Grandma patted his shoulder with concern and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Xie Mian irritably downed the ceramic cup of warm water handed to him in one gulp, and said listlessly, "We didn't manage to win over the scarred guy."
However, it was discovered that Zhong Wanrou's ability to know Xiaomeng's whereabouts this time was related to Sun Qiao.
The conflict between Xiaomeng and Yu Xiaoli was also related to Sun Qiao.
Grandma was furious and turned to chase after Sun Qiao, yelling, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'd tear her to shreds!"
Grandma has always been gentle and polite in her speech and actions; she has never spoken so harshly before.
Xie Mian grabbed his grandmother and said, "You should rest!"
We only know that these things are related to her, but we cannot convict her.
She took advantage of Zhong Wanrou's desire to harm Xiaomeng and casually revealed Xiaomeng's whereabouts.
Seeing Xiaomeng enter the shipyard, she deliberately praised Xiaomeng's talent and beauty to the receptionist's fiancée, arousing jealousy and suspicion, which led to the accident.
Grandma stared in disbelief and said, "This girl is so shrewd. She achieved her goal quietly and without making a single mistake."
But she was the one who started all this trouble. How could she be so wicked?
After hearing the reason for Su Meng's accident, Cheng Wangshu's eyes darkened, and she prepared to leave.
He stood up and said to Su Meng, "Take good care of your injury, I'm leaving now!"
As for the diesel engine, there's no need to worry.
We've already tested the diesel engine you assembled last night, and it's surprisingly good.
After replacing the parts with new ones, assembling the parts, and conducting tests, I think it will be ready for production.
Comrade Su, we are waiting for you to return and witness the testing of the new diesel engine.
Su Meng's lips moved slightly, as if she had thought of something, then she smiled and replied, "Okay! I'll definitely be there. Comrade Cheng, thank you for coming, take care!"
After bidding farewell to everyone, Cheng Wangshu went outside and ran into Huo Zhenhua, who was returning.
He looked up and met his gaze for a few seconds, then chuckled and looked away.
Thinking back to the awkwardness Huo Zhenhua felt with "Lin Xi" on the train, he immediately understood.
He has also taken a liking to Su Meng.
"Comrade Huo, those people haven't been caught yet, have they? Shall we go together? I'm just about to go to the police station."
Huo Zhenhua remained expressionless, his eyes calm. "We're not on the same path. Comrade Cheng, best of luck!"
He had already cast his net for this mission, just waiting for the right opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Su Meng also entered the shipyard during this period and prepared to test her improved diesel engine.
The fleas lurking in the shadows couldn't resist causing trouble. They not only damaged the diesel engine parts in advance, but also copied the prepared parts.
And they set their sights on researcher Su Meng.
They don't want to see this country progress; they want to destroy everything about it, especially outstanding researchers, who are their primary targets.
His current task is to protect Su Meng.
Seeing his serious expression, Cheng Wangshu chuckled and teased, "Comrade Huo, are you always this calm?"
Huo Zhenhua's eyes flickered, concealing all his emotions, and he replied calmly and seriously, "I never fight a battle I'm not sure I can win."
They were talking right at the doorway.
Su Meng was initially drowsy, but upon hearing Huo Zhenhua's voice, she became more alert.
Strangely, their few words, seemingly ordinary, carried a sense of impending conflict and tension.
What are they saying?
She muttered something.
Su Mianzhi glared at her, "Go to sleep!"
It's not her business how men behave; she's too dense to worry about such things.
Su Meng yawned and indeed fell asleep immediately.
Su Mianzhi and A Da exchanged a glance, then looked towards the doorway without saying a word.
Su Mianzhi shook his head. The Zhou family was no ordinary family.
When the Su family was at its peak, everyone could only befriend him.
The reason is simple: the Cheng family started out as pirates, and their inherent cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness are something that a family like theirs, which only employs bodyguards, can't possibly contend with.
The saying "the gates of a noble family are as deep as the sea" is not an exaggeration.
Their family doesn't crave great wealth or status; they only desire peace and tranquility.
"Grandma, Uncle, I've received orders from my superiors to personally protect Comrade Su Meng from now on." Huo Zhenhua approached unnoticed and said in a low, serious voice, "For your safety, please go back first."
Xie Mian said with a serious expression, "That's right! Mom, I'll take you and your brothers back."
Ah Da suddenly spoke up: "You must have other plans. Can you tell me?"
