Chapter 68 The First Argument
When she got closer, the scene that greeted her was Xu Bin, his face covered in blood, lying on the ground, barely alive, reaching out to her for mercy.
"Help... I... I'll never do it again, I'll never... do it again..."
Several other people around him were also badly injured, rolling around and screaming in pain.
"Lu Mingzheng, what are you doing?"
Lu Mingzheng didn't expect Jiang Ruzhen to see him fighting. He put his bloodstained hands into his pockets and said nonchalantly.
"I just didn't like them and beat them up, so what? You're still upset about it?"
Jiang Ruzhen was furious when she heard this. She stepped forward, pushed Lu Mingzheng away, and squatted down to help Xu Bin up.
"How are you? Can you still walk?"
When Xu Bin saw Jiang Ruzhen coming over, he was so frightened that he kept backing away, afraid that Jiang Ruzhen would touch him.
"I can walk, I can walk..."
As if experiencing a sudden burst of energy before death, he sprang to his feet and staggered forward without looking back. He tripped and fell after a few steps, then fell flat on his face again.
"Hey! Shall I take you to the hospital? I'll reimburse your medical expenses and give you three times the compensation. Don't pursue this matter today, or don't blame me for accusing you of trying to rape me."
Upon hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words, Xu Bin trembled and lost his footing, falling to the ground again.
"No need, no need. It's all my own fault, I deserve it... I'll never try to take advantage of you again, or may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..."
Xu Bin ran and shouted, his voice filled with extreme fear, as if a man-eating demon was chasing him.
Jiang Ruzhen stared at Xu Bin's disappearing figure, speechless. Had this guy lost his mind?
He refused to accept three times the medical expenses as compensation, which is inconsistent with his previous greedy and shameless personality!
She suspiciously turned her gaze to Lu Mingzheng, who was in a bad mood and yelled at the people lying on the ground.
"Aren't you going to run? Or do you want me to buy you coffins?"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately scrambled to their feet, helped each other up, and vanished without a trace in an instant.
Jiang Ruzhen frowned. Since she met Lu Mingzheng, this was the first time she had seen him so fierce and violent.
"Lu Mingzheng, you think you're right to hit someone?"
Lu Mingzheng took a few steps back with his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall. He lowered his head and hunched over, seemingly lost in thought.
"They bullied you, so they should be beaten up."
"But do you know that hitting someone is illegal? You could go to jail! Is it worth it for a shameless person?"
Jiang Ruzhen couldn't understand why her usually carefree and playful master was so cruel and violent this time. Those people looked seriously injured. If someone was killed, wouldn't Lu Mingzheng have to pay with his life?
Then his promising life and future would be completely ruined.
Whatever the reason, his impulsiveness for a scumbag man is incredibly immature and irresponsible.
Whoever marries him in the future will live in constant fear, lest he cause some terrible disaster.
"Say something! Why did you hit me?" Jiang Ruzhen was extremely agitated, and her tone was filled with anger.
"I'll fight him if I want to. Even ten of his cowards combined wouldn't be a match for me."
Lu Mingzheng looked up, his face showing no trace of regret, his eyes filled with sinister ruthlessness.
"You're hopeless, Lu Mingzheng. Do you even remember that you were once a soldier? The country trained you to be a powerful fighter, not for you to deal with ordinary civilians."
You've disappointed me so much! Don't let me see you again.
Jiang Ruzhen felt that Lu Mingzheng was being completely unreasonable. She was doing it for his own good and didn't want him to regret it for the rest of his life because of acting impulsively.
But it was obvious that Lu Mingzheng wouldn't listen to her at all.
She turned and left in anger, feeling a tightness in her chest.
Just as her figure disappeared around the corner, Lu Mingzheng, who had been struggling to stay upright, slid down the wall.
He took off his coat, revealing a wound on his abdomen from which blood was gushing. He rolled the coat up and pressed it tightly against the wound, enduring the excruciating pain as he leaned against the wall and walked in the other direction of the alley.
A short while later, a figure ran up and caught his unconscious body, carried him to a car, and drove straight to the hospital.
Jiang Ruzhen returned to her store and prepared to rearrange the layout, but as she worked on it, she became increasingly agitated and threw the clothes rack on the ground with a snap.
The two sales clerks were startled. The older one looked up and saw that his mother seemed to be in a bad mood. He walked over, picked up the clothes rack, and asked her what was wrong.
"What's wrong, Mom? Did you have a fight with Uncle?"
"No." Jiang Ruzhen sat down in the chair angrily, getting angrier the more she thought about it.
She was clearly thinking of Lu Mingzheng, so why did he take his anger out on her?
No, she had to go back and give him a good scolding to vent her anger. With that thought, she jumped up and strode towards the door.
The eldest son was confused by his mother's behavior, and he turned to look at the second son.
Did I say something wrong?
The second son shook his head; he didn't know what was wrong with his mother today.
Jiang Ruzhen returned to the dark alley she had just been in, but after searching from beginning to end, she still couldn't find Lu Mingzheng. In anger, she kicked the wall next to her.
"Ouch, that hurts."
Jiang Ruzhen clutched her toe in pain, her face contorted in agony, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
She limped back, cursing Lu Mingzheng in her mind.
She finally made it back to her front door, and when she looked up, she saw her second son arguing and struggling with a woman at the entrance of the store.
She was momentarily stunned. Her second son had a girlfriend?
She squinted at the woman's face, and the more she looked, the more horrified she became.
Isn't this Mei Ling, the maid from the Mei family who kidnapped the second son in the previous life?
When did the second son get involved with her again?
In his previous life, after the eldest son passed away, the second son was heartbroken and disappointed. In a fit of anger, he packed his bags and ran away from home to find Mei Ling.
The two went south overnight to do business, and by the time she came to their door, they had already registered their marriage.
Moreover, Old Mei proudly told her that the second son had voluntarily become his son-in-law and said he would never return to the Shen family.
Jiang Ruzhen was so angry that she vomited blood, but she couldn't win back her second son's heart. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't understand why her second son would choose such a decisive way to break off their relationship.
It was only when she was dying that she heard Qin Lanlan say that she had instigated the second son to leave for a distant place and never return.
Combined with the way her second son hated Qin Lanlan after she was reborn, she understood the key point.
She thought that by scheming to deal with Qin Lanlan, and by trusting the second brother more than the other brothers, praising him constantly, and rebuilding a deep relationship with him, he would not go back to his old ways.
But why? Why is Mei Ling involved with him again?
Jiang Ruzhen felt a surge of heat rush to her head. Ignoring the pain in her feet, she rushed over and stood between Mei Ling and the second son, angrily berating them.
"Who are you? What are you doing bothering my second son? Get out of here! I don't want to see you, get out now!"
