Chapter 137 Apology Letter
Su Xiaoman smiled and said, "This must be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Meng pulled her forcefully, "I just found out about this myself. If anyone is curious, please report it immediately."
After saying that, she pointed to the bottom of the "apology letter" and said, "Look, the money in this frame is real money, folded so perfectly, just like real gold ingots."
Each gold ingot, folded from a ten-yuan note, was crammed into the photo frame and arranged in the shape of an ugly duckling.
This person has such a vivid imagination!
Su Meng glanced at the sentry a hundred meters away and thought to herself that Ah Da's skills were truly remarkable; he could keep the sentry from being alerted at such a close distance.
But because it was close to the sentry, no one dared to steal the picture frame.
"It's real money! A hundred gold ingots, a hundred ten-yuan bills? My God, isn't that a thousand yuan?" Su Xiaoman excitedly tugged at Su Meng's sleeve. "Is it really not from your family?"
Su Meng shrugged innocently, "Do you think I'm that bored?"
Sister Xiaoman, has Xiaohu gone to school?
When Su Xiaoman heard her ask about Xiaohu, her eyes lit up with pride, and her attention immediately shifted to him. "Yes, yes!"
This kid has become much more sensible since he became my teacher. He finishes his homework at home and then teaches me, and he doesn't go out to play anymore.
Little Su, his teacher praised him today.
Su Meng smiled and walked out of the crowd with her, "Congratulations! Sister Xiaoman."
You're both paying one tuition fee, and you're both improving together—isn't that great!
They had only walked a hundred meters when they saw Nie Ronghua rushing over.
His sister-in-law, Yang Rui, followed behind him.
"Comrade Su, what a coincidence!" Yang Rui greeted her first.
Su Meng initially didn't want to talk to the Nie family, but remembering how Nie Rongchang had taken care of her in Shanghai, she nodded politely, "Good morning, Sister-in-law Nie!"
After saying that, he tried his best to ignore Nie Ronghua's persistent gaze and pulled Su Xiaoman away.
But Su Xiaoman was momentarily obsessed.
She stared at Nie Ronghua shaking Su Meng's arm, her voice high with surprise: "Little Su, isn't this the great hero we met on the ship?"
Su Meng: "......"
Nie Ronghua's gaze never left Su Meng, and he greeted her in a cool and indifferent manner, "What a coincidence! This is my sister-in-law."
This is an admission that they met on the ship.
At this time, Nie Ronghua was dressed in civilian clothes and was pushed out in a wheelchair by his bodyguard.
Su Xiaoman thought she had met an old friend in a foreign land, and went over to chat with her enthusiastically.
Su Meng subtly pushed Su Xiaoman's hand away, looked straight ahead, her expression as calm as the sky. "Everyone, I'll go first, I'm going to be late for work."
Nie Ronghua subconsciously clenched his fists, looking into those clear, watery yet cold eyes. He could clearly sense that between him and Su Meng, though the sun shone brightly and warmly, there was a cold, hard barrier between them.
He could no longer get close, no longer leave his reflection in her eyes.
Bitterness, sorrow, and regret welled up in my heart.
That thousand yuan marked the end of his relationship before it even began.
But Yang Rui didn't want her to leave like that, so she grabbed her and asked, "Su Meng, did you write the apology letter on the bulletin board?"
How could you humiliate someone like that?
She spoke angrily and pitifully, as if Su Meng were the villain who wouldn't let things go.
Su Meng raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on her face, "Sister-in-law Nie, do you have any evidence?"
Besides, a clear conscience fears no accusation. You should reflect on your actions instead of making baseless accusations.
Yang Rui stared at her in astonishment, and seeing the boundless chill hidden in the smile that didn't reach her eyes, she couldn't help but shudder.
This Su Meng is far from being as gentle and weak as she appears on the surface; she is a rose thorn.
She argued in a low voice, "I really don't have any evidence, but..." Isn't your Su family the only one with a dispute with the Nie family over a thousand yuan?
Before she could finish her sentence, Nie Ronghua interrupted her.
"Sister-in-law, we can't make assumptions and slander people, and we shouldn't delay Comrade Su from going to work."
I'm sorry, Comrade Su!
He looked at Su Meng with a serious expression, as if he were swearing an oath to the Party flag, solemn and sincere, seemingly with piety, and... boundless regret.
This was his third encounter with Su Meng.
It was also the first time they met after he learned that she was his fiancée.
Ironically, once they understood their own hearts, they were already destined to be apart.
Nie Ronghua felt a sharp pain in his heart and his whole body went cold when he thought of the teardrop pendant that had been with him for more than ten years, which was the token of their love.
He clutched his chest, averted his gaze with difficulty, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The guard, Xiao Liu, glanced back and forth between Su Meng and Nie Ronghua, then silently felt sorry for them.
After walking a little further away, Xiao Liu leaned down and whispered, "Commander, you like her, don't you?"
She is indeed much better than Comrade Sun.
Beautiful! Radiant! Like a rose after the rain, so clear, vibrant, delicate, and captivating.
With each sentence he spoke, Nie Ronghua's face darkened further. After he finished speaking, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak. He could only turn his head and glare at Xiao Liu to stop his "nonsense."
When Yang Rui caught up, she happened to hear his last words.
She looked Xiao Liu up and down and shook her head, "You can't compare to my Ronghua, nor can you compare to Huo Zhenhua."
I heard that she and Huo Zhenhua are very close.
Alas! You two are destined to be apart.
Ronghua, let it go! I don't think she has any feelings for you whatsoever.
Nie Ronghua lowered her eyes, feeling unwilling, but the relationship between the two families had already reached a freezing point, and there was absolutely no possibility for them to be together again.
They severed their own destiny.
Who can he blame?
Su Meng was unaware of Nie Ronghua's thoughts.
She shook off Yang Rui and said goodbye to Su Xiaoman. Before she even reached the gate of the research institute, she saw Director Jiang standing at the entrance with his hands behind his back, looking around.
"That girl is back." Old Zhang leaned against the window of the guardhouse and tapped his empty pipe.
Director Jiang turned around, took two quick steps to greet her, and said, "Su Meng, you're finally back!"
You were terrified! You suffered!
"It's our fault for not doing a good job in protection; I apologize."
Unable to withstand his enthusiasm, Su Meng waved her hand to interrupt, "Director, I'm fine."
Besides, you know I've been through this kind of minor trouble before.
After returning to China, she compiled every little thing that happened around her into a file and presented it to Director Jiang and Division Commander Tang.
"I heard that an apology letter and origami in the shape of a gold ingot were displayed in the residential compound. Did you make them?"
That kind of childish thing definitely wasn't done by the adults in the Su family.
Only this clever little devil could be both meticulous and capable of writing an apology letter of that caliber.
Su Meng stared at Director Jiang with wide, clear eyes in surprise. She sniffled, feigning grievance, and cried out in a tearful voice, "You've wronged me too!"
I have the time and money to spare, I might as well buy some spare parts.
Or buy a couple more pens for your own use.
If I buy two packs of cigarettes for Grandpa Zhang, he won't have to satisfy his craving for cigarettes with an empty pipe every day.
Grandpa Zhang paused for a moment, then grinned, "I think this idea is good. Girl, don't forget next time!"
Director Jiang huffed, "I only asked you one question, why are you holding a grudge?"
Don't forget mine next time you buy cigarettes; one a day is fine too.
"Ugh! Your auntie pocketed all my meager salary."
Su Meng: "......"
It's so hard for her to earn a little salary!
Director Jiang turned around and saw her frustrated look. He smiled and said, "Su Meng, come to my office. I have a document for you to look at."
