Chapter 256 It's Definitely Deliberate
Xia Nan raised her head abruptly, with suppressed anger burning in her pupils: "Xu Nuo, you definitely did this on purpose."
Xu Nuo opened his eyes wide, with just the right amount of surprise and innocence on his face, and said in a soft and sincere voice: "I really didn't mean to do that, my hand just slipped..."
She paused, then continued, "Just like when you spilled the tea just now, it was also an accident, right?"
Xia Nan choked, but was unable to refute.
Of course she couldn't admit that she did it on purpose, so she could only squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: "...Of course I didn't."
Xu Nuo nodded slightly, the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Then it's the same for me. Since it's all an accident, don't be angry, right?"
Xia Nan stared at her, his chest burning with anger, but he couldn't utter a word.
Of course she knew Xu Nuo was seeking revenge, but the other party acted so perfectly that she didn't even have an excuse to get angry.
Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong, who were watching from the side, understood what Xu Nuo meant, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Xu Nuo was seeking revenge for being scalded by the tea just now.
Liao Hong recalled how her duck business was maliciously reported by the newspaper where Xia Nan worked, and its reputation was ruined. Now she had an outlet for the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in her heart.
She spoke, her voice deliberately drawn out to support Xu Nuo: "Xu Nuo didn't say a word when his arm was burned red, and he didn't blame you at all. But you got burned and kept complaining, and you blame others instead. You are a reporter, and I thought you were a cultured person with high quality, but it turns out you are not as good as me, a duck seller."
Bai Qiu Ning smiled softly and continued gently, "That's right, reporter Xia. We will all live in the same compound from now on. We will see each other every day. It's not a big deal. Just relax and don't take it too seriously."
Xia Nan was so angry that her face turned blue. She knew she couldn't win an argument with three mouths, so she pointed at her burned leg and said, "It hurts, it hurts a lot! My injury is much more serious than hers! Can't you see it?"
Liao Hong laughed out loud: "Who can you blame? Who made you react so slowly? If you ask me, you really need to practice your skills. You can't even avoid a bowl of noodle soup."
Xia Nan was speechless and his face looked extremely ugly.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xu Nuo was too lazy to bother with Xia Nan anymore.
She glanced at the place where Xia Nan was burned and said calmly, "You'd better rinse the wound with cold water immediately, otherwise the skin and cloth will stick together and it will be more painful when you tear it off."
After that, she smiled again and asked, "How about I leave you two dollars to buy burn ointment?"
Her words were a complete humiliation to Xia Nan!
Does she need those two dollars?
"No need!" she gritted her teeth.
Xu Nuo shrugged indifferently: "Since you don't want it, forget it. Don't blame me for not giving you money later!"
After saying that, the three of them left the noodle shop and waited for a bus back to the compound.
…
Xia Nan bit her lower lip tightly, cold sweat rolling down her forehead.
Although the doctor was very careful, he still peeled off a layer of skin from the thigh.
Afterwards, the doctor applied medicine to her wound and said, "Next time if you get burned, rinse it with cold water for a while, and don't take off your clothes by yourself to avoid this situation."
Xia Nan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and could only cut Xu Nuo into pieces in her heart.
If she had come earlier, it would have been better. It was because she wasted a lot of time arguing with Xu Nuo that she didn't take a cold shower in time.
My skin was stuck to my clothes again, and it was so painful to peel off such a layer of skin.
This hateful woman Xu Nuo is simply her nemesis!
She finally got the chance to go out alone with Qi Yue, but was caught by Xu Nuo, who reported it to the Lu family.
Now the mission is not going smoothly, and the burns are making matters worse. I am so unlucky.
After the doctor treated the wound, he prescribed her anti-inflammatory drugs and burn ointment, and instructed her: "Change the dressing on time and don't let the wound come into contact with water."
Xia Nan limped out of the clinic. She couldn't let today's suffering go in vain. She had to find a chance to get rid of this anger.
…
Xu Nuo and the other two returned to the compound. On the way, she kept wondering why Xia Nan had provoked her in front of her today.
This behavior seemed ridiculous to her and did not cause any substantial harm to her.
This question has been answered at this moment.
Just as she passed by the service center, she saw Lu Kun and Aunt Tong arguing under a big tree outside the door.
Although both mother and son tried hard to control their emotions, their voices still sounded more excited than usual.
Xu Nuo heard Aunt Tong say, "Your father and I have discussed this. Xia Nan is not suitable for our family. You cannot marry her."
"I'm going to marry her!" Lu Kun stiffened his neck, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "You can hide the household registration book for a while, but you can't hide it forever! I must marry her in this life."
Aunt Tong was very disappointed with him and said in a rare harsh tone, "Go ask your father why he firmly disagrees with you marrying Xia Nan."
Just when they were talking about the crucial point, the footsteps of three people startled the quarreling mother and son.
Aunt Tong immediately stopped talking and forced a smile on her face.
Lu Kun turned his face away, the blue veins on his neck were still faintly visible.
"Hello, Aunt Tong." Xu Nuo greeted her nonchalantly, but his pace quickened subtly.
Bai Qiu Ning and Liao Hong also tactfully followed suit and left quickly, without saying a word.
After they walked away, Xu Nuo could not help but look back twice. No wonder Xia Nan was so picky with her today, it turned out that her marriage was hindered.
That's why she hated herself and did such a ridiculous thing.
It seems that Brigade Commander Lu must have found out something, so he stopped his son from falling into the trap.
There was indeed something wrong with Xia Nan's identity, Xu Nuo could be sure of that.
After returning home, Xu Nuo went straight upstairs to rest and slept in a daze until the evening.
When I woke up, the fiery red sunset had already covered half the sky.
She lazily lay at the second-floor window and looked at the scenery for a while, then slowly went downstairs to prepare dinner.
Eating alone always tastes bland. Xu Nuo chewed the food mechanically and suddenly realized that he had actually begun to get used to having Lu Chen around.
I don’t know what mission that man is doing now, why he can’t even make a phone call.
After finishing dinner, she picked up the dishes and prepared to go upstairs to work when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xu Nuo went to open the door, only to see He Kuan and Li Hongying standing at the door with somewhat awkward smiles on their faces.
I haven't seen this couple for some time. Xu Nuo was not familiar with them, so he was stunned when he first met them.
She changed her mind and thought that these two people were most likely here for Li Cuiying's matter.
