Chapter 166 Let Disdain Fly
After dinner, Xie Chang'an glanced at Luo Ning, "Luo Ning..."
Luo Ning walked to the bedside, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What instructions do you have, Battalion Commander Xie?"
Xie Chang'an disliked this official title. He sighed inwardly, "No matter what problems we encounter, we'll face them together!"
That's a great attitude, I'd give it full marks. (vertex23us)
"Commander Xie, let me tell you, you're doing it wrong! Dislike it? Let it fly!" Luo Ning said, then quickly left.
Frustrated, Xie Chang'an clenched his fists, wishing he could drag his past self out and beat him up.
She had arranged to give Zhang Yue's mother-in-law acupuncture tonight.
The old lady has been bedridden for too long; she needs to increase the frequency of her treatment in order to get things moving.
Luo Ning walked near Zhang Yue's house and was shocked to hear Zhang Yue arguing with a woman.
Her gossipy heart was pounding wildly, and the antenna on her head suddenly sprang up, allowing her to hide behind a tree and receive all channels.
A short while later, Zhang Yue, carrying an iron shovel, chased after a woman as she ran past her.
Holy crap! I never would have guessed that the seemingly gentle Zhang Yue could be so fierce. Women's potential is truly limitless.
When Zhang Yue returned carrying a shovel, she found Luo Ning sitting in her house giving her mother-in-law acupuncture.
"Luo Ning, when did you arrive? I haven't seen you anywhere."
Luo Ning glanced at her and continued to focus on acupuncture for the next thirty years.
More than an hour later, Luo Ning finished the acupuncture treatment, and the old lady thanked Luo Ning profusely with tears in her eyes.
"Girl, I really don't know how to express my gratitude. You didn't even take money and treated this useless old woman's illness. And... I feel much better these past few days, all thanks to you. This old woman of mine has been bedridden and a burden to Xiaoyue..."
The old lady always repeats the same few phrases, which is making Luo Ning a bit nervous.
She can handle anything, except for this kind of tearful old lady.
Zhang Yue immediately stepped forward and rescued Luo Ning, then made an excuse to take Luo Ning out.
The two stood in the courtyard, and Zhang Yue took the initiative to talk about what had happened that day.
"What did you say? Tian Xiaoxiao came to you asking for Xu Jianbin's allowance, and even said it was Xu Jianbin's idea?"
Luo Ning instantly transformed into a rocket, so angry his butt was practically on fire and about to fly into the sky.
The field mouse has once again redefines her understanding of shamelessness; she's really something.
Xu Jianbin is a complete jerk, a total scumbag.
"That's right!" Zhang Yue muttered in dissatisfaction. This time, she straightened her back and stood up, beating Tian Xiaoxiao to a pulp. It felt really good. She should have done this a long time ago. She had been cowardly for so many years and had had enough.
"Well done, keep it up!" Luo Ning patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder to encourage him, and gave him some instructions. Zhang Yue nodded repeatedly.
“Luo Ning, you see, I can’t keep taking advantage of you. The money you gave me was used to buy groceries and cook food…” Luo Ning always made her cook, but he never took any of it or ate it, which made her feel uneasy.
She hasn't cooked any of the things she bought these past few days; she's just left them all with Luo Ning. It's summer now, and meat doesn't keep well, so she's a little worried.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth..." Luo Ning laid out her thoughts completely.
Zhang Yue suddenly understood; so that's how it is. "Luo Ning, there's something I need your help with..."
After listening to Zhang Yue's explanation, Luo Ning readily agreed, knowing she was no expert at doing bad things.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and bring in the food from home! Eat well and drink well, and you'll live forever!" Luo Ning waved her paw and left.
When Luo Ning returned, it was already 10 p.m. Xie Chang'an, who had been waiting anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her.
Luo Ning instantly transformed into a personal caregiver, turning off the lights and going to sleep as soon as she finished.
"..." Xie Chang'an looked bewildered. Luo Ning was acting strangely today. Why wasn't she exercising at night?
"Luoning, are you sick?"
"No!" Luo Ning replied lazily. She had gone for a run in her space that morning, as she shouldn't exercise too much since she was on her period.
"Xie Chang'an, you don't need to return Xu Jianbin's allowance to him. I've already given it to his wife!"
"That's great! You really have a way with things!" Xie Chang'an exclaimed sincerely. In the past, he had only tried to get to Xu Jianbin, but it hadn't worked at all.
A flock of crows flew overhead, and Luo Ning was somewhat surprised by Xie Chang'an's attitude.
It turns out that Xu Jianbin was the only one who was a big idiot, and he wronged Xie Chang'an!
"This era saved Xu Jianbin! There are too many spoons, and clearly not enough smart people!" Luo Ning sighed softly.
If Xu Jianbin were to live in Northeast China thirty years from now, a husband who earns money but doesn't give it to his wife would be considered abusive.
Wow, that's amazing! I'm bowing down to my great-aunt from Northeast China.
Xie Chang'an now completely understands what the spoon means, and it's quite fitting to describe Xu Jianbin.
Xie Chang'an hesitated for a moment, continuing to test the waters on the verge of being rebuked.
"Luoning, I've been wanting to tell you this for the past few days. I know you've never been well-behaved outside. I won't interfere with your affairs or stop you. You're not an unreasonable person; you have your reasons for everything you do. But I still hope you can tell me what you've been doing, at least so I can be mentally prepared."
If we encounter problems, we can deal with them together. We are ultimately one, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
"Like what happened with Chief Quan, I knew absolutely nothing about it, and there's nothing I can do to help you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Battalion Commander Xie, are you sure you're really yourself?" Luo Ning posed a historic challenge to Xie Chang'an: prove that you are indeed yourself!
However, Xie Chang'an's words made some sense. She was doing all sorts of things outside, so she was letting him know so he wouldn't be too passive.
He was already in a passive position, and she also wanted to know from Xie Chang'an who his enemies were.
Luo Ning leaned close to Xie Chang'an's ear and told him about her great achievements in the Gao family, only those parts she was willing to share.
Xie Chang'an grew angrier and more incredulous as he listened. The fragrance emanating from Luo Ning was driving him wild with pleasure, and his reactions were noticeably slower than before.
His young wife is incredibly bold; she caused a huge mess in the Gao family and even managed to find a way out for herself.
His wife is amazing; he's never seen a woman with such a sharp mind.
Xie Chang'an lowered his voice and gave Luo Ning a few tips to help her smooth things over more gracefully.
"Wow, that's impressive, Xie Chang'an!" This guy is so cunning, Luo Ning really likes him.
"Luoning, you have something you haven't said. Find a way to cover up the loopholes as soon as possible. Many eyes are watching you. Someone told me that the watch you gave me was worth at least 500 yuan. Where did you get that money? You may be investigated in the future."
"Make a note of these people!" Xie Chang'an told Luo Ning about his enemies one by one, so that she could be more careful when she encountered them in the future.
He will work hard to win Luo Ning's trust and get her to tell him things she doesn't want to tell him right now.
Luo Ning nodded repeatedly, and her first intelligence exchange with Xie Chang'an ended successfully.
"You don't need to worry about the money; it's all from legitimate sources. If you don't like the watch, you don't have to wear it!" Luo Ning thought for a moment and then explained.
It's clearly meant to be comforting; we can't let Xie Chang'an wear it and give off the feeling of a ticking time bomb.
How could I not wear something you gave me? I'll wear it every day. Seeing it will remind me of you, hmm...
That's it!
"By the way, Xie Chang'an, what was the reason for the marriage application being rejected?" Luo Ning asked curiously.
Xie Chang'an suddenly felt frustrated. "They said you're suspected of having overseas connections!"
"Ha, damn it, this is all baseless!" Luo Ning retorted, wondering where her family got any overseas connections from.
There was also a suspicion; the word was used so precisely that she couldn't find a single flaw.
The room suddenly fell silent. Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning remained silent, carefully maintaining the status quo.
But they both knew in their hearts that if the marriage application was rejected, wouldn't divorce be far behind?
