Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 605: 173: Shangguan Dehui’s honesty, extremely defensive!_5

The Village Chief said with relief, “If you all think this way, then I am much more at ease.”

In the Ni family home.

After Ni Yang came back from town, she took a spray can and began watering the plants in the courtyard of the new house.

While filling the watering can, she revealed a slender and fair wrist.

A translucent jade bracelet on her wrist shone brightly under the sun.

Ni Cuihua curiously asked, “Yangyang, when did you buy this bracelet? It’s so beautiful!”

Ni Yang was taken aback for a moment, then she said, “I forgot to tell you, this bracelet was given to me by grandma Liu.”

Ni Cuihua seemed very surprised, “This bracelet looks like it’s worth a lot. How could you accept such a valuable gift from grandma Liu?”

Grandma Liu is a lonely old woman living a difficult life. This bracelet might be the most valuable thing she has.

Ni Yang explained the situation to Ni Cuihua.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Ni Cuihua nodded, “Since this is a token of affection from grandma Liu, then you should cherish it. Grandma Liu is alone, so we have to be kind to her in the future.”

Ni Cuihua has never been one to take advantage of others. Now that the bracelet couldn’t be removed, all she could do was to treat grandma Liu even better.

“Yes, mom, I understand.” Ni Yang continued, “Oh, mom, I have something to do tonight, I might have to go out later.”

Ni Cuihua looked a bit perplexed, “Going out? It’s almost six o’clock, where are you going?”

“To town.” Ni Yang answered.

“Do you want me to accompany you? It’s already very late!” Ni Cuihua seemed a bit worried.

“You don’t have to.” Ni Yang shook her head, “I can manage on my own.”

“Alright then.” Ni Cuihua proceeded, “Remember to come home early.”

Today is the 9th of the lunar month September. If Ni Yang remembers correctly, today is the day when the Master’s eldest apprentice had an accident.

Although the Master and his wife practice Traditional Chinese Medicine, they still have an willful son who is fond of the martial arts.

Big Brother succumbed to his death while working as a bodyguard for a wealthy person, in a confrontation with a gangster.

In Ni Yang’s memory, these incidents were quite serious. Two people died then, one being Big Brother, and the other being his employer.

In the dim night, Ni Yang was biking along the road.

“Stop the car!” Zheng Xianjing, who was in the back seat, suddenly told the driver to stop.

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately halted the car.

“I have something to handle, you go back first.” Zheng Xianjing picked up the beige coat on the back seat, got out of the car, and looked back at the driver.

“Sure, miss.” the driver nodded.

Zheng Xianjing asked the driver to stop because she saw Mo Baichuan.

Having recognized Mo Baichuan as Mr. Mog, she would not miss any opportunity to interact with Mo Baichuan.

“Brother Baichuan.” Zheng Xianjing approached him and held Mo Baichuan’s arm.

“Xianjing.” Mo Baichuan’s gaze shifted from the figure at the end of the street.

Zheng Xianjing squinted slightly and involuntarily looked in that direction. Upon looking, her pupils contracted slightly.

It’s her!

Ni Yang!

The same girl whose hair the dead wife had used for identification.

Zheng Xianjing hid her appearance well and asked softly, “Brother Baichuan, what are you doing here so late?”

“He’s waiting for me.” Just then, another woman’s voice appeared in the air.

When Zheng Xianjing looked up, she saw a confident woman with heavy makeup.

Zhao Jingrong!

Why is Zhao Jingrong here to?

Zheng Xianjing suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Miss Zhao?”

With a high-handed attitude, Zhao Jingrong pulled Zheng Xianjing’s hand off Mo Baichuan’s arm, put her own arm around Mo Baichuan’s, and smiled a winner’s smile, “Baichuan, didn’t you introduce Miss Zheng to me?”

Mo Baichuan looked at Zheng Xianjing and said, “This is my girlfriend, Zhao Jingrong.”

What?!

What did she just hear?

Zheng Xianjing’s face instantly turned pale.

Zhao Jingrong is actually with Mo Baichuan!

What the hell is going on?@@novelbin@@

Compared to the slightly tainted Sun Dalian, Zhao Jingrong is much harder to deal with!

After all, Zhao Jingrong is a legitimate high-class lady!

“Brother Baichuan! How could you be with her!”

Zhao Jingrong gave a slight smile, “Excuse me, Miss Zheng, why can’t I be with Baichuan?”

“Brother Baichuan!” Zheng Xianjing looked at Zhao Jingrong, “Miss Zhao was once engaged to Uncle Mo! She almost became your aunt! How could you possibly be with her!”

Besides herself, Zheng Xianjing can’t accept anyone being with Mo Baichuan.

How can it be like this!

She went through such great lengths and even spent thirty thousand yuan, only to end up benefitting Zhao Jingrong!

How can Zheng Xianjing accept this?

Zhao Jingrong laughed, “Miss Zheng, your thinking is quite old-fashioned. The Zheng Family is not without resources, why don’t they expose Miss Zheng to the world outside. As you said, I was once engaged to Mo Qishen. Since the engagement was terminated, naturally, men and women can marry whoever they wish. Do I need to inform you, Miss Zheng, who I choose to be with?”

“Or are you saying, Miss Zheng, you have inappropriate thoughts about other people’s boyfriends?”

Zhao Jingrong’s last sentence was laced with a mocking smile, she’s not easily messed with.

It won’t be so easy for Zheng Xianjing to try to steal Mo Baichuan from her.

Zheng Xianjing’s face turned from white to red, she turned her head to look at Mo Baichuan, “Brother Baichuan! What the hell is going on! Grandma and Grandpa Mo would never approve of you two being together!”

“That’s none of your concern.” Mo Baichuan broke his silence.

He wants to be with Zhao Jingrong.

If Mo Qishen can be with Ni Yang, then why can’t he be with Zhao Jingrong?

Didn’t Ni Yang say that she and Mo Qishen truly love each other?

He wants to see how long those two can keep up their act!

Zheng Xianjing was almost dying of rage, “Brother Baichuan, how can you be like this! This is wrong!”

“Baichuan, let’s go.” Zhao Jingrong looked at Mo Baichuan.

“Okay.” Mo Baichuan nodded.

“Brother Baichuan!” Zheng Xianjing reluctantly clung to Mo Baichuan’s clothes.

Zhao Jingrong turned around and pried Zheng Xianjing’s hands off finger by finger, “Miss Zheng, if you still have some dignity left, stop making a spectacle of yourself. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, Madam Zheng still does.”

Zheng Xianjing was shivering with so much anger that she could only watch Zhao Jingrong lead Mo Baichuan away.

No!

She absolutely cannot lose to Zhao Jingrong!

Zheng Xianjing looked at the retreating figures of Zhao Jingrong, her eyes like venom.

The nights in September are already a bit chilly, particularly at nightfall.

Ni Yang tightened her beige coat as she walked toward the alley up ahead.

The silver-white moonlight dusted her body with a layer of radiance.

The alley was silent, without even the sound of insects.

Ni Yang had already been waiting here for a long time but there was still no one in sight.

Just as she was about to wonder if she had gotten the date wrong, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the alley.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Ni Yang looked up and saw two men in suits rushing towards her. There were no lamps in the alley, but with the help of the moonlight and her exceptional senses, she instantly identified the two figures as the eldest martial brother and his employer!

Listening to their breaths, one of them was injured!

Ni Yang’s eyebrows furrowed as she walked briskly forward, removing her obstructive coat as she went.

For easier fighting, she hadn’t worn a cheongsam today, opting instead for a simple outfit of a white knit top, black trousers, and white sneakers.

“Smack!” She tossed her coat aside, fearlessly moving forward. A breeze stirred her long, elegant hair, and as she passed the two men she whisperingly commanded, “Hurry and run ahead! Don’t look back, just leave the rest to me!”
