Zhang Qiming was so busy that he had no time to rest.
The pawn shop was very far away, and it took most of the day just to redeem the color TV and sewing machine, and then I had to send Xuanxuan to the Huang family.
Huang Xiaojun fled, feeling guilty. Zhang Qiming ignored him. With bloodshot eyes and a murderous look on his face, he put Xuanxuan down and said, "If Huang Xiaojuan doesn't come out, I'll definitely divorce her."
"I don't want the child anymore. Also, when the time comes, you should return Huang Xiaoxia's job as well!"
The Huang family suddenly didn't dare to say anything. Huang Xiaoxia's salary was a stable source of income for their family and they absolutely couldn't lose it.
Huang's mother immediately took Xuanxuan in and said that she would take good care of the child.
As for whether it is really good or not, Zhang Qiming doesn't care at all.
After dealing with the Huang family, he went home and picked up the phone to Xia Mian, still having to be polite and say, "What time is your bus tomorrow? I'll pick you up at the station."
On the other end of the line was Uncle Xia. He said coldly, "You mean to let the two children take the bus to the city by themselves? Zhang Qiming, you're the first person I've ever misjudged!"
Zhang Qiming knew that Xia Mian must have said she was busy again, and his anger surged uncontrollably.
But he could only continue to accompany Xiaoxin, "Look, I'm really busy and confused. I will go pick up the two children myself tomorrow. Uncle, don't be angry..."
Zhang Qiming took the earliest bus to Mingxi County, intending to pick up Xia Mian and Xiao Feng and leave immediately. He had endured enough of the past few days and didn't want to go to the director and ask for leave in a humiliating manner.
Of course, Xia Mian couldn't do as he wished, so he prepared the powerful weapon, Second Uncle Xia.
However, as soon as they met, Zhang Qiming still made Xia Mian feel sick.
At that time, she was taking Xiaofeng to her aunt's house to watch Qiangqiang take him to play with Yuanbao.
As soon as Zhang Qiming walked in, he acted like a loving father, and said excitedly, "Xiao Feng!"
Then he opened his arms towards Xiao Feng with a loving look and was about to hug her, "Xiao Feng, do you miss your daddy?"
Xiao Feng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She threw away the paper ingots and quickly ran towards Xia Mian, "Auntie."
Xia Mian hugged the child. Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia stood in front of Zhang Qiming and asked him what happened to the child's injuries. Zhang Qiming apologized sincerely and even shed a few tears.
The crying posture made Uncle Xia and his aunt completely speechless.
The identity of Xiaofeng's father is his biggest shield that allows him to remain arrogant after hurting Xiaofeng.
Xia Mian was very glad that she had prepared Uncle Xia.
Shameless people should be dealt with by equally shameless people.
Second Aunt Xia came in crying, "Oh, my poor Xiaofeng, your father is such a jerk! Who would have thought that your sister would marry such a beast..."
Second Uncle Xia wiped his eyes and pointed at Zhang Qiming, saying, "I knew from the beginning that you were not a good person. I didn't expect you to actually abuse our Xiao Feng! I'm telling you, don't even think about taking our Xiao Feng away!"
Zhang Qiming looked extremely unhappy when he saw Second Uncle Xia, "Second Uncle..."
"Don't call me Second Uncle. I don't have a nephew-in-law like you." Second Uncle Xia said, "Since you are not sincere in raising the child, Xiao Feng will be left in our house!"
"I am Xiaofeng's father!" Zhang Qiming obviously knew how difficult Uncle Xia was and said directly, "He must follow me!"
"Bullshit!" Uncle Xia glared at me. "You abused our child, and I can sue you in court! If you don't want to lose the lawsuit, hand over the custody of Xiaofeng!"
Zhang Qiming knew that Second Uncle Xia was illiterate about the law and that everything he said was nonsense, but so what?
Uncle Xia is different from others. As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly, and the only outcome is a beating or a loss.
When you meet someone like Uncle Xia who loves to take advantage of others, you must take everything!
Zhang Qiming disagreed, so Uncle Xia took action directly. Aunt Xia had been annoyed by Xia Mian these days. Thinking about the recent losses of the family, she became angry and scratched and clawed at Zhang Qiming.
The three Xia Hai brothers took advantage of the opportunity to break up the fight and made a move.
"That's enough!" Zhang Qiming roared in frustration, "Isn't it just money? If you keep fighting, you won't get a cent!"
He obviously knew Uncle Xia's weak spot.
Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia stopped at the same time.
In the end, Zhang Qiming, with a bruised head, raised the price from twenty to one hundred before Uncle Xia gave in.
Xia Mian sighed secretly in his heart. If there was any shortcoming of Second Uncle Xia, it was that he was too short-sighted and could be fooled by just a hundred yuan.
However, because of Uncle Xia's nagging, Zhang Qiming was unable to go back that day. He could only ask for leave from the workshop director in a nice manner and was criticized.
Xia Mian looked at Zhang Qiming's ferocious face which was caused by endurance, and felt a little relieved.
Ever since Xiao Feng saw Zhang Qiming, the smile on her cheerful little face disappeared, and she became less talkative. She followed Xia Mian closely, almost inseparable from him.
On the bus, Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng tightly, gently stroked his back and whispered, "Baby, do you still remember our secret?" She reminded him softly, "Yan City."
Xiao Feng suddenly looked up at her, and Xia Mian smiled and said, "Did you play war with Brother Qiangqiang yesterday? To reach the top of the mountain, you must bravely face the enemy and defeat the enemy before you can reach the top, right?"
"It's the same for us. If we go to Yan City, we have to defeat your scumbag father, so we have to face him bravely."
Xiao Feng glanced at Zhang Qiming in the next aisle and nodded firmly.
Xia Mian stroked his ahoge and said, "Xiao Feng is the bravest one, but don't worry, Auntie will definitely protect Xiao Feng and won't let Xiao Feng fall into the hands of the enemy."
Xiao Feng pursed her lips and smiled, then relaxed her body and nestled in Xia Mian's arms. She nuzzled her little head against Xia Mian's neck, "Xiao Feng is also very brave."
Xia Mian hugged him tightly and said, "Of course you are brave. In your previous life, even though you lived in darkness, you never gave up looking for light until your death."
It was already evening when they arrived at the Huagang Family Compound. Zhang Qiming, who had not spoken much along the way, put down his luggage. Xia Mian thought he wanted to take a rest, but unexpectedly he reached out to hug Xiao Feng. If Xia Mian had not reacted quickly, the child would have been snatched away by him.
Xia Mian stroked Xiao Feng's back and turned sideways, saying angrily, "What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Zhang Qiming simply reached out his hands and held Xiao Feng's armpits, "You've been holding him all the way, take a break, let me hold him."
Even though he said this, his attitude was extremely tough and he refused to let go.
Xia Mian looked at Xiao Feng's frown and said angrily, "You hurt him!"
Zhang Qiming used even more force on his hands, but with a smile on his face, "Just let go, it will be fine. Don't worry, I'm his father, how can I throw him down?"
Xia Mian's eyes turned cold. This man wanted to maintain his image. Huang Xiaojuan could not clear herself this time, and he needed a new breakthrough to establish a good image. Xiao Feng, who had been abused, was his tool!
Xiao Feng had already started biting her lip. Xia Mian pretended to let go, then quickly hit Zhang Qiming's arm, which was exerting force.
Zhang Qiming's entire arm went numb and he suddenly lost consciousness.
Xia Mian quickly caught Xiao Feng who had fallen, and said sarcastically, "I don't think you're used to holding her, so let me do it."
Xiao Feng hugged Xia Mian's neck tightly, saying in a panic, "Auntie!"
Xia Mian felt distressed and touched his back to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your aunt is here."
Zhang Qiming looked at her with a gloomy gaze, but Xia Mian went to meet him without any fear.
Zhang Qiming suddenly smiled, "Mianmian, don't forget, Xiaofeng is my son, he has to follow me."
"So you're threatening me?" Xia Mian looked at him coldly. "People say you'll destroy the bridge after you've crossed it. How about you destroy the bridge before you even cross it?"
Zhang Qiming's gaze fell on Xiaofeng, clearly telling her that he had found her weakness.
Xia Mian laughed angrily, as if he had no weaknesses.
If she doesn't tear off his face this time, she won't be named Xia!
The two were confronting each other when suddenly a sweet female voice interrupted: "Brother-in-law?! Brother-in-law, where have you been? I can't find you!"
Xia Mian turned around and saw Huang Xiaoxia running towards him with an anxious look on her face, "Brother-in-law, you have to help me!"
Zhang Qiming frowned, "What happened to your sister?"
Huang Xiaoxia was stunned when she saw Zhang Qiming's face covered with scratches and bruises. "Brother-in-law, who hit you?"
Zhang Qiming subconsciously touched his face and said in a light tone, "What's the matter?"
"Brother-in-law, the hospital wants to fire me. It must be because of what happened with Dr. Ning last time. Can you please plead for me? I was also kind-hearted at the time."
"The hospital is going to fire you?!"
Zhang Qiming felt like he'd just been on a business trip, as if he'd missed out on a century. Not only had Huang Xiaojuan been arrested, but Huang Xiaoxia, who had previously had so much confidence in Dr. Ning, was actually being laid off because she'd offended Dr. Ning?!
That day he saw the people from the police station fawning over Dr. Ning and treating Huang Xiaoxia as their last trump card!
Zhang Qiming could no longer maintain his composure, and his voice was filled with anger, "What's going on?"
"Someone framed Dr. Ning that day. I wanted to help him, but I said the wrong thing in a hurry." Huang Xiaoxia avoided the main point.
"Brother-in-law, can you help me? That wild girl of yours."
"It's Xia Mian. I heard that she was the savior of Dr. Ning's nephew. Her words must be effective."
"Brother-in-law, this time you should coax her a little and let her help first."
Zhang Qiming looked at Xia Mian in surprise.
Xia Mian sneered and carried Xiao Feng towards the staff quarters.
Huang Xiaoxia finally noticed her and immediately asked, "Who is she? Brother-in-law, why are you with her?"
At this point, she became happy, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew Dr. Ning's relatives? With Dr. Ning here, why would we need that wild girl Xia Mian?"
Zhang Qiming was completely confused. "What on earth are you talking about?!"
"Them!" Huang Xiaoxia gave Xia Mian a flattering smile. "I saw them when I went to visit Doctor Ning the other day. You are Doctor Ning's relatives. Doctor Ning was holding the child. Could he be Doctor Ning's nephew..."
Zhang Qiming's face suddenly darkened. "What did you say?!"
Huang Xiaoxia saw that his expression was not right and whispered, "Did I say something wrong? I really saw it. The girl was holding Doctor Ning's arm. You know Doctor Ning. He won't let anyone get close to him unless they are close to him."
Zhang Qiming vaguely sensed something.
His eyes fell on Xia Mian. To be honest, he almost didn't recognize Xia Mian when he saw her yesterday.
He thought she changed her appearance because she was provoked by those gangsters, or because her elders did not allow her to do so after returning to her hometown.
But according to Huang Xiaoxia, she had clearly changed her image on the day he went on a business trip.
In this way, those thugs couldn't recognize her at all, and Huang Xiaoxia had mistaken someone else...
He also understood Huang Xiaoxia. Besides loving to flatter herself, she also loved to flatter others. If Xia Mian and Xiao Feng were at Teacher Mi's house at that time...
Zhang Qiming gritted his teeth. It turned out that the Huang family members were more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
Zhang Qiming's face darkened, and he said to Huang Xiaoxia, "Go home first and tell me in detail what happened. Also, don't you know about your sister's situation?"
Huang Xiaoxia was stunned. "Didn't my sister come back to my house? What happened to her?"
Zhang Qiming gave a brief account of the incident, especially mentioning the good things Huang Xiaojun had done.
Huang Xiaoxia said angrily, "My sister is really something. My mom and brother just give her a few words of comfort and she becomes so arrogant that she doesn't know how high the sky is. The other day I said I needed to buy a good belt for Doctor Ning and she refused to give it to me even though I was short 300 yuan."
"She didn't even blink when she asked for 10,000 yuan over there."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiming took a stab at Huang Xiaojuan in his heart, and didn't want to pay any attention to Huang Xiaoxia. He just carried his luggage and walked forward.
Then Huang Xiaoxia started yelling in surprise, "Hey, where did that vixen come from? I've never seen her before. Is she here to seduce Dr. Ning again?"
At this point, he said sarcastically, "Look at how fawning she is towards Dr. Ning's relatives. Her face is almost smiling."
Zhang Qiming realized that he had forgotten to remind her that the two people just now were Xia Mian and Xiao Feng.
But now, seeing the scene in front of him, he no longer cared about Huang Xiaoxia.
Xia Mian actually started chatting with Dr. Ning’s sister!
Although he was very worried these two days, he still knew that Dr. Ning's sister and nephew had come.
You can hear explosive news like "a family with millions of dollars in wealth" everywhere.
This morning when he went out, he also ran into Teacher Mi's family who were seeing off Dr. Ning's brother-in-law. It was such a grand occasion that he couldn't even envy it.
The neighbors watched as they were talking and greeting each other in the lively atmosphere, but in reality, they were all just joining in the fun. Zhang Qiming knew very well that when the man smiled and glanced at everyone, he actually didn't pay any attention to anyone.
But seeing him nodding to him, Zhang Qiming was unconsciously excited for a moment, and then he thought of Huang Xiaoxia.
When he saw Dr. Ning's sister, Zhang Qiming knew that it was just his fantasy. For the first time, he clearly realized the unreachable difference between people.
So he hoped that Huang Xiaoxia was thick-skinned enough and had despicable means. In this way, even if it was just temporary, as long as he could get a word from her, it would be enough to change their lives.
However, he forgot that the other party also had the problem of being self-righteous, just like now, this lump of mud was actually mocking the floating white clouds.
It's summer hibernation...
Zhang Qiming narrowed his eyes and caught up.
…
"This skirt suits you very well." Ning Shaoyun smiled happily.
"Right," Xia Mian turned her waist, "Sister Ning, you have good taste. I like all those skirts."
"As long as you like it." Ning Shaoyun smiled. "When I bought it, the salesperson said that most people couldn't wear it, but I think it suits your temperament very well."
Look, the fairy can really talk. Xia Mian was overjoyed when she heard it. "It's great to see Sister Ning. I thought you had already gone back."
Ning Shaoyun smiled and said, "Well, I plan to stay for a while and go back after the summer vacation. It's great that you're back. Chenchen has been thinking about Xiaofeng."
Little Chenchen, wearing a blue jersey and holding a small basketball in a cool manner, looked up and said, "Auntie Xia Mian, little brother Xiaofeng!"
Xia Mian put Xiao Feng down and asked, "Do you still remember Brother Chenchen?"
Xiao Feng nodded and said obediently, "Brother Chenchen."
Chenchen touched his head like a little adult and said, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Mian was afraid that he would say something like he needed an injection or medicine, so she quickly said, "Well, my brother has been in the car for a long time and is a little carsick. He will be fine after a rest."
Chenchen said, "Then go back and have a rest, brother. My dad brought some toys for me. I'll take you to play after you've had a good rest."
Zhang Qiming, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "Welcome Chenchen to our home." He nodded naturally towards Ning Shaoyun.
His attention was all on Ning Shaoyun, and he didn't notice that Xiao Feng tensed up and snuggled into Xia Mian's arms again.
Ning Shaoyun smiled and touched Xiaofeng's head, saying gently, "Brother Chenchen has too many toys and can't take them upstairs. Xiaofeng, can you come to our house to play?"
Zhang Qiming added, "That's really too much trouble for you."
He lowered his head and looked at Chenchen. "Your name is Chenchen, right? From now on, I'll ask you to take good care of little brother Xiaofeng."
Chenchen frowned slightly as he looked at him, "Uncle, what bad things did you do to deserve being beaten like this?"
Zhang Qiming's face froze, and he laughed, "Uncle was beaten like this because he was trying to protect little brother Xiaofeng."
"How dare you say that." Xia Mian's eyes widened. "It was obviously because of abusing Xiao Feng that my second uncle punished him!"
Zhang Qiming didn't expect Xia Mian to be so disrespectful to him.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Xia Mian sneered and said, "Zhang Qiming, I advise you not to use Xiao Feng as a cover anymore. If you dare to lie in the future, I will tear you apart. If you get hurt later, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Zhang Qiming subconsciously glanced at Ning Shaoyun and felt extremely embarrassed.
But little Chenchen said seriously, "Uncle, lying is wrong. Be careful or you'll get caught by the police!"
Ning Shaoyun and Chenchen went to the basketball court. Zhang Qiming looked at Xia Mian with a very ugly expression.
Huang Xiaoxia wasn't much better, she said in disbelief, "No, this is impossible! How could she be Xia Mian?!"
Xia Mian put on a big smile, raised his chin and said proudly, "What a pity, I am Xia Mian. Not only will I not help you, I will also ask Doctor Ning to fire you immediately, hehe..."
Huang Xiaoxia was so angry that her curly hair stood up. Thinking back to what happened that night, she suddenly shouted angrily, "You did it on purpose! Brother-in-law, she was clearly there that day, but she deliberately kept silent and made a fool of myself for everyone to see!"
Now that she knew she was Xia Mian, thinking back to what happened that day, the looks on those people's faces as if they were watching a show, and Ning Shaobai's ridicule, Huang Xiaoxia felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Xia Mian naturally thought of it, and couldn't help laughing, "Who can you blame for being a joke to everyone?"
She imitated Huang Xiaoxia's behavior that day and pinched her throat to sob, "That's my sister, what can I do? I feel sorry for Xiaofeng too... I'm willing to compensate him on my sister's behalf..."
It turned out that she didn't even recognize Xiao Feng.
Zhang Qiming's face suddenly darkened. After all, Huang Xiaojuan was his wife, but Huang Xiaoxia used her as a stepping stone. Who could be happy about that?
Huang Xiaoxia was already embarrassed enough, and now seeing Zhang Qiming angry, she was immediately furious, "You, you wild girl! You are talking nonsense!"
Xia Mian snorted lightly, raised her chin and asked, "What? You don't want a wild girl like me to help you?"
Huang Xiaoxia suddenly felt like a wild duck with its neck strangled.
Xia Mian smiled and shook his head, "But it's too late. Even if you praise me now, I won't help you."
Huang Xiaoxia felt like she was about to explode.
A chuckle came from behind, and several people turned around. They saw a tall young man standing behind them. Even with one arm hanging, his handsomeness was not affected. His eyes were full of smiles.
Zhang Qiming said awkwardly, "Doctor Ning."
Huang Xiaoxia immediately put on a pitiful look and pleaded, "Doctor Ning, I really didn't mean it that day. Please be magnanimous..."
Ning Shaobai seemed to have not heard her words. He walked straight to Xia Mian, staring at the almost identical alopecia on the heads of his aunt and nephew, and couldn't help but reach out...
Xia Mian was holding the child and had no way to hide. Dai Mao was pulled and could only glare and ask, "What? Is this how you treat your savior?"
My eyes fell on his arm wrapped in gauze. It seemed that he was almost healed.
Ning Shaobai ignored her. Seeing Xiaofeng looking at him, he reached out and rubbed the child's head. He lifted up his clothes and briefly checked him. He said meaningfully, "Your body is recovering well. Let the child continue to be in a good mood."
Zhang Qiming laughed and said, "Of course, of course. I was too careless before. I will definitely not do that again in the future."
Ning Shaobai glanced at him and said nothing.
Xia Mian was fed up with Zhang Qiming's acting, so she rolled her eyes and said directly, "Go away."
Seeing that Ning Shaobai's attitude towards Xia Mian was indeed different, Huang Xiaoxia could no longer care about anything else. She grabbed Zhang Qiming's clothes and said anxiously, "Brother-in-law~"
Zhang Qiming gave her a warning look, then looked up at the two people bickering in front of him, and finally his gaze fell on Xia Mian, as if thinking about something...
I don’t know what Zhang Qiming asked Huang Xiaoxia. When I woke up the next day, Xia Mian found that Zhang Qiming had become very strange.
It was obvious that he was half-coerced when he brought her back yesterday, and he even clearly showed his intention to use Xiao Feng to threaten her at the gate of the family compound, but early this morning, this man suddenly became gentle and considerate.
Before going to work in the morning, he specially prepared meals for them and made egg custard for Xiaofeng. He kept nagging them about staying at home and didn't mention Huang Xiaojuan at all.
When he came back at noon, he put six thousand yuan in front of Xia Mian and said, "This is what your brother-in-law paid you back. You can save it when you have time. Keep the passbook and don't give it to anyone else."
Xia Mian was a little wary. "You don't think that if you pay me back, Huang Xiaojuan is no longer a thief, right?"
"Of course not," Zhang Qiming looked at her helplessly and amusedly, and sighed, "Brother-in-law was also anxious and lost his mind before."
"I thought about it all night yesterday. Huang Xiaojuan was the one who made the mistake this time. It's normal that you don't want to help her. This time, your brother-in-law won't make things difficult for you. She deserves a good lesson for her vicious and greedy nature."
"It's okay to let her go to jail for three or four years?" Xia Mian was shocked. Is this guy going to give up on Huang Xiaojuan?!
Zhang Qiming's face darkened for a moment, but he forced himself to cheer up and smiled gently at Xia Mian, "This way she won't be able to hurt you and Xiao Feng, so it's not a bad thing."
Xia Mian always felt that his gaze was weird, giving her goosebumps.
"Brother-in-law has gone to work, you and Xiaofeng stay at home. Oh, by the way," Zhang Qiming took out a wad of money from his pocket.
It was estimated to be over 200 yuan. "This is for household use. Just go buy whatever vegetables and other things you want. If you need anything else, tell your brother-in-law when you get home from get off work in the evening."
Xia Mian was frightened by his actions. She couldn't figure out whether he really intended to give up Huang Xiaoxia or was just playing the emotional card with her, wanting her to let down her guard so that she could take action against Xiao Feng.
Xia Mian observed carefully. If he was playing the emotional card, he wouldn't be able to delay for long. After all, if Huang Xiaojuan didn't change her confession, she would be formally arrested, and at that time, Huang Xiaojuan would really have to go to jail.
This matter was one of the important bargaining chips in the game between Xia Mian and Zhang Qiming, so if Zhang Qiming didn't move, she wouldn't mention it either. After all, the other party was very cunning, and she had to be on guard against him thinking of a countermeasure in advance, which would only cause more trouble.
However, Zhang Qiming seemed to have forgotten Huang Xiaojuan. He continued to take care of her and Xiaofeng while working. The Zhang family returned to its previous harmony, and Zhang Qiming even restored some of his reputation.
Many people believe that Zhang Qiming was deceived by Huang Xiaojuan because he was focused on his work, and they sympathize with him. They think that Huang Xiaojuan has dragged down their whole family, and she should stay in prison to repent.
Xia Mian felt that she had figured out Zhang Qiming's purpose. This guy wanted to use Huang Xiaojuan to restore his reputation!
Tsk, that’s a great idea. Hibernation must not be allowed.
She went downstairs to wait for Ning Shaobai, as her identity as a savior would come in handy.
Ning Shaobai hadn't gotten off work yet, so Xia Mian squatted by the stone table at the door of the unit and watched Xiaofeng and Chenchen, two little kids, play chess.
Two white and tender little hands were holding the miniature black and white chess pieces and playing them back and forth, occasionally frowning and thinking for a while, looking very cute.
Old Mrs. Liu sighed as she watched, "These two kids are really into chess. Yesterday, Chenchen was playing chess with our Zhuangzhuang, and Zhuangzhuang kept using his horses as checkmates, running all over the chessboard. It really got Chenchen mad."
Everyone burst into laughter when they thought of the argument between Chenchen and Zhuangzhuang yesterday.
Xia Mian was very proud because her son Xiao Feng was a genius.
As she was smiling, she suddenly felt something moving on her head. She looked up and saw two men's big hands, one fair and one wheat-colored, intertwined together.
!!!
What's going on? Aestivus's fur stood up, and he pretended to look up along his arm casually. Suddenly, his pupils trembled: What the hell?
Ning Shaobai and Zhang Qiming? !
What, what is going on?
Xia Mian stood up suddenly and looked at Ning Shaobai in horror. Could he be blind and fall for Zhang Qiming? When did this happen? How did they get together?
Xia Mian thought about their story quickly in his mind, considering whether it was appropriate to ask Ning Shaobai to deal with Zhang Qiming.
Ning Shaobai didn't notice her gaze, shook off Zhang Qiming's wrist and said coldly, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Qiming seemed a little puzzled and said with a smile, "Mianmian's hair is always sticking up, which is quite interesting. No wonder Doctor Ning always wants to touch it."
Ning Shaobai glared at him with a look that looked like trash, and said bluntly, "Don't use me to make excuses for your dirty thoughts. Which eye of yours always makes you want to touch me when you see me?"
Xia Mian blinked before realizing that Zhang Qiming actually wanted to touch her head?!
Holy shit! Xia Mian is completely furious. Who gave him the courage?!
Thinking about how she was almost touched on the head by this man just now, Xia Mian felt as if bugs were crawling all over her body. She unconsciously took a step back and said sternly, "Men and women should not touch each other. Show some respect."
This was an era when people were ashamed to talk about relationships between men and women. Girls of Xia Mian's age regarded such things as a disaster and tried to avoid them if possible.
And the aestivation reaction is so big...
Everyone looked at Zhang Qiming with curiosity.
Zhang Qiming's dirty thoughts were unexpectedly exposed to everyone's eyes.
Of course he wouldn't admit it. He made a surprised and embarrassed expression and said helplessly, "Mianmian, what are you thinking about? I'm your brother-in-law."
However, this is not a very good reason.
There have been many scandals involving brother-in-law and sister-in-law since ancient times. At that moment, a man with no restraint said obscenely, "No wonder Qiming didn't think of bringing Xiaojuan back and even sent Xuanxuan away..."
"Dazhi!" someone shouted. "What are you talking about? There are so many children here."
However, the children did not understand, but the adults could not help but have various associations. From the changing gazes and expressions of the crowd, it can be seen that Zhang Qiming ignored Huang Xiaojuan but had a new explanation for his caring behavior towards Xia Mian and Xiaofeng.
Xia Mian hadn't expected this unintentional action to have such an effect. He struck while the iron was hot, as if remembering something, "No wonder you were so upset yesterday!!!"
Many people changed their expressions when they saw this.
Teacher Mi said considerately, "Come to my house tonight and sleep. Chenchen has always wanted to be with Xiaofeng."
"Well," Xia Mian looked at Zhang Qiming with disgust, and then said angrily, "I will go back to the county early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Qiming's face also looked very ugly. "Mianmian! What happened to me yesterday? Tell me, don't frame me here!"
"Why would I frame you?" Xia Mian said angrily, "From the beginning until now, you've been the only ones framing me! How dare you say you didn't hire those thugs?!"
Yes, everyone knows this. Everyone nodded.
"What gangster?" Zhang Qiming naturally denied it, but the neighbors' behavior made him uneasy, so he changed the subject and said, "I have always treated you as a child. Didn't Doctor Ning touch your head that day?
Xia Mian blurted out, "Can Doctor Ning be the same?"
Ning Shaobai likes men!
After saying this, Xia Mian felt a little embarrassed when she met everyone's puzzled looks. After all, this was not the future, and liking men was a common thing, so it wouldn't be a big deal even if it was just a joke.
If she dared to reveal Dr. Ning's sexual orientation in this era, both of them would be finished.
Of course, she was silenced by Dr. Ning.
Ning Shaobai was originally curious about what Xia Mian was going to say, but Xia Mian's expression of "done, almost exposed" made him suddenly realize what she meant...
Ning Shaobai couldn't help but grit his teeth and glared at her fiercely.
Xia Mian felt guilty when he stared at her, and immediately looked at her in a soothing manner: I promise I won’t let you be exposed!
At the same time, his mind raced, and he clapped his hands and said, "Then, then Doctor Ning must be different.
"First of all, Dr. Ning is a moral person. How could he attack a minor?" Zhang Qiming is different. He is capable of abusing children, and the probability of him molesting underage girls is very high.
"Secondly, Dr. Ning is so good, how could he possibly be interested in me? He should at least be of Sister Ning's level."
But Zhang Qiming is different. He is just a worker. He coaxed Xia Chun and Huang Xiaojuan to come here. Now he takes advantage of Xia Mian's young age to seduce young girls. Isn't it a piece of cake for him?
"Finally, Dr. Ning was nice to me entirely because I saved Chenchen."
Xia Mian looked at Zhang Qiming, "What about you? Why are you so nice to me? Is it because I bullied Xuanxuan? Or because I sent Huang Xiaojuan to jail? Or because I embarrassed you so much that you couldn't get a promotion?"
Zhang Qiming: ...
Just state the reason, why do you have to drag people down?
However, there is a reason for pulling someone down, and Xia Mian's implication was clearly conveyed to everyone.
The neighbors' eyes were filled with thought. Yes, from Zhang Qiming's perspective, Xia Mian had caused chaos in the Zhang family, but not only was he not annoyed by Xia Mian, he was also very tolerant and considerate towards him.
Zhang Qiming is not a saint, so there is only one reason left: Zhang Qiming has ulterior motives.
As for what they were after, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Mian, a sixteen-year-old girl with a delicate and graceful appearance...
Xia Mian also suddenly realized, "No wonder you suddenly said that Huang Xiaojuan was vicious and greedy, and wanted to let her go to jail to learn a lesson!"
"Are you planning to divorce her?"
Everyone looked at each other, seeing the shock in everyone else's eyes. Although Huang Xiaojuan had brought this upon herself, Zhang Qiming had no intention of rescuing her. This was definitely not normal!
Zhang Qiming finally understood what Huang Xiaojuan had told him that day, Xia Mian's ability to confuse right and wrong.
He wanted to show that he was sensible and sided with Xia Mian and Xiao Feng, but when Xia Mian said it in this state, it immediately became an excuse for him to abandon his wife!
"I've always said that Xiao Zhang is thoughtful."
“That’s right…”
“This is too…”
Zhang Qiming was so angry that veins popped out of his face. "What the hell are you talking about?!"
Zhang Qiming realized that what Huang Xiaojuan said that day was difficult to defend, but after all, he was much more skilled than Huang Xiaojuan.
He roared, his face flushed with anger, and glared at Xia Mian, "Yes, I am annoyed with you! But what can I do? You hate Xiaojuan so much, if I don't try my best to side with you and soften your heart, will you be willing to save her?"
"Then let me ask you, are you willing to save her? I've already returned the money to you. Are you willing to say that you gave her the passbook, not that she stole it, and let her go?"
The reaction was quite quick. Xia Mian sneered, "Don't try to change the subject here. When you brought me to the city a few days ago, you clearly threatened me with Xiao Feng. You said he was your son and you could do whatever you wanted to him."
"I followed you obediently because of this, and now you say you want to soften my heart with your gentleness and consideration. Do you think I'm a fool? Let me think," Xia Mian thought for a moment, "Your change happened after Huang Xiaoxia came here. What did she say to you that day?"
Ning Shaobai spoke slowly, "It wasn't after Huang Xiaoxia came, but after you met me and my sister. He just happened to know from Huang Xiaoxia that you were Chenchen's savior."
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhang Qiming had been so busy since he came back that he didn't know that Xia Mian had saved Chenchen, and naturally he didn't know that Xia Mian now had an unusual relationship with the Ning family.
So he threatened Xia Mian directly at the beginning, thinking that everything would be fine as long as Huang Xiaojuan was rescued;
However, after learning that Xia Mian had a good relationship with the Ning siblings, he changed his mind: Xia Mian's value was much greater than Huang Xiaojuan.
A wife with a bad record and a young and beautiful girl with a powerful backer.
Most men would make a choice, but Zhang Qiming has a criminal record: Huang Xiaojuan has a city hukou, and the configuration of a working couple and an only child is enough to make him give up Xia Chun, a college student.
And this time the choice is even simpler and clearer than before.
Zhang Qiming, who had been planning to let Ning Shaobai endorse the Zhang family not long ago, never expected that he would hear Ning Shaobai's words so soon, and they were to suppress him.
Zhang Qiming was well aware of the other party's influence and knew that he had no chance of winning today no matter what.
Zhang Qiming had no choice but to choose a strategic retreat. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Xia Mian as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Alright, when Xiaojuan said you were the best at confusing right and wrong, I didn't believe her and scolded her. Now I've experienced it myself."
"I know I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River. I'm going to stay in the factory dormitory for a few days."
"Xiaojuan's matter has been exposed today. I will come to you tomorrow. Do you want money or a good school? You can put forward any conditions. As long as I can do it,
