Chapter 240 Inexplicable Conflict
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet fully light, and the village was still shrouded in a hazy veil. It was so quiet that only the occasional crowing of roosters could be heard.
Aunt Luo tiptoed into the kitchen, preparing to make dumplings for Su Daqiang and Liu Xiao who were returning to City A today, but she saw Mo Yu already rolling out the dough.
"How come you get up earlier than me, kid? Let me take care of it, you go back to sleep." Aunt Luo said in surprise and distress.
Mo Yu kept working. "Ah, Aunt Luo, I'll do it. Daqiang and his wife haven't eaten the dumplings I made yet. You should go and have a rest."
Aunt Luo didn't say anything for a moment. She looked out the window. The sky was still dark and a little chilly. A hint of melancholy unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Then Aunt Luo, let's make them together. Daqiang will definitely want to eat the dumplings made by mom too."
"Oh, okay, okay." Aunt Luo came back to her senses, quickly rolled up her sleeves, reached out to pick up a piece of dough, and began to wrap dumplings with skillful movements.
The two of them were wrapping dumplings while chatting quietly. After a while, the chopping board was filled with dumplings.
Mo Yu glanced at her watch and saw it was almost time, so she turned around and added water to the pot to prepare the dumplings. As soon as the dumplings were in the pot, Su Daqiang and Liu Xiao got up.
Mo Yu looked at the stove and pointed at the kettle at the door, saying, "Brother Daqiang and sister-in-law, the water is hot. You should wash up first. The dumplings will be ready soon."
At this time, Aunt Luo came out of her room carrying a big bag of things.
Su Daqiang was rinsing his mouth and asked vaguely, "Mom, what are these?"
Aunt Luo walked up to them and said, "Daqiang, Xiaoxiao, I packed some eggs from our own chickens and ducks for you. They are fresh and nutritious. I also sewed some cotton-padded clothes for you two. It will be winter soon after you go there. I heard that City A is very cold in winter, so don't catch a cold. And Xiaoxiao, take this red envelope. It's your first time at home, so you should get one. It's not much, so don't mind it." As she spoke, Aunt Luo took out a brand new red envelope from her trouser pocket and handed it to Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao subconsciously looked at Su Daqiang.
"Take it. It's a gift from my mother. She went to town and bought a red envelope for you."
"Thank you, Auntie." Liu Xiao took the red envelope with both hands and put it in his pocket.
After breakfast, Su Daqiang and Liu Xiao prepared to leave. Mo Yu and Aunt Luo accompanied them all the way to the village entrance. As she watched them get into the car, Aunt Luo's eyes gradually became moist, and she kept raising her hand to wipe away her tears.
"We used to see each other every day, but now we can only see each other a few times a year. The more we see each other, the less we see each other," Aunt Luo sighed.
"Aunt Luo, Brother Daqiang is going out to make money. When he makes enough money, he will bring you and Xixi to the city to live a good life. Then you can see each other every day again." Mo Yu comforted Aunt Luo and held her hand at the same time.
Aunt Luo took Mo Yu's hand and said earnestly, "And you, how could you forget yourself? We are a family. If you have the chance to go out in the future, Yu Yu, don't stay in our small place. The big cities outside belong to you young people."
After returning home, Aunt Luo became listless and had no energy to do anything. Mo Yu knew that she was still thinking about Su Daqiang, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She returned to her room, turned on her old phone, and looked at the two unanswered text messages. A pang of sadness welled up in her heart: "Do my parents miss me? They must be angry, that's why they haven't replied to my messages. Parents, please forgive me for not coming back to see you. I've made myself so embarrassed that I just don't have the courage to face you."
……
In the dim room, the curtains were tightly drawn, not letting in a single ray of light. Wu Kang sat on the edge of the bed, a cigarette between his fingers. Wisps of smoke swirled before him, making his face look even gloomier.
He Qingqing, who was leaning naked against the head of the bed, couldn't help but frowned as she looked at Wu Kang's fat body.
"Wu Kang, I'll accompany you three more times, and then we'll end this relationship. Now I'm Afeng's fiancée. Please help me, and when I marry Afeng, I'll give you 10% of the Qiao family's property."
Hearing this, Wu Kang's expression suddenly changed, and his originally gloomy face instantly became ferocious. He turned around abruptly, grabbed He Qingqing's arm, and burned the burning cigarette in his hand.
"Ah!" He Qingqing screamed in pain.
Seeing He Qingqing grimacing in pain, Wu Kang pushed her away.
He said viciously, "He Qingqing, have you forgotten again? I said that this will end only if you give me a child. I want my child to be the heir to the Qiao family. I don't want your 10% of the property."
He Qingqing rumpled her hair into a mess like crazy and shouted excitedly, "Give birth to a child? How? Ah Feng has always refused to touch me. If I give birth to a child, it will be exposed."
"That's because you're incompetent." Wu Kang smirked and slapped He Qingqing's face. "So don't even think about breaking up with me. He Qingqing, don't try to play dirty tricks. Otherwise, if Qiao Feng finds out that you're the one who killed Qiao Zhengrong, what do you think he'll do to you?"
He Qingqing's mind instantly flashed with the image of Qiao Zhengrong lying on the ground, his limbs twisted and dying. A wave of fear surged through her heart. She angrily picked up a pillow and threw it at Wu Kang.
"Did I kill him alone? You're also responsible. I couldn't even see him. You lied to me and told me Qiao Zhengrong wanted to see me. You also lured the people around him away, causing him to miss the best time for treatment. He's also at fault. If he hadn't been insulting me, I wouldn't have pushed him."
"You're capable now, right?" Wu Kang was furious. He slapped He Qingqing to the bed, then picked up the pillow that had just been thrown at him and pressed it hard on He Qingqing's face.
He Qingqing struggled desperately, waving her hands in the air and kicking with her legs, but Wu Kang was too strong and she couldn't break free at all.
Gradually, the noises beneath him became quieter and quieter, and Wu Kang took away the pillow. He Qingqing's face had turned purple, and her eyes were filled with fear.
"He Qingqing, you can go and tell me. It all depends on whether Qiao Feng believes you or me. Even if he believes you, I haven't been around Qiao Zhengrong all these years for nothing. I have enough people to kill you and him." Wu Kang threatened coldly, "If Qiao Feng wasn't a business genius, I would have killed him a long time ago. I could have ended it by giving me a child, but now I tell you, unless you die, you can't end it. You will always be my plaything."
Hearing the sobbing, Wu Kang reached out his hand, and He Qingqing quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would anger him again.
Wu Kang smiled and softened his tone a little: "He Qingqing, be obedient. If you want to be Qiao Feng's wife, I can help you realize it. I can also provide you with a team of hypnotists and medicine, but I want nothing less. Do you hear me?"
He Qingqing nodded tremblingly.
After Wu Kang left, He Qingqing faced the mirror, eyes hollow as she applied medicine to the wounds on her face. "Wu Kang is a lunatic, just like Qiao Zhengrong. I shouldn't have been fooled by him in the first place."
After getting herself ready, He Qingqing packed a lunch and headed to the Qiao Building. As soon as she entered the lobby, the front desk staff warmly addressed her as Mrs. Qiao. He Qingqing's mood instantly brightened, a smug smile on her face, and they promised to give them a raise.
When she arrived at the door of Nan Feng's office, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
"What are you doing?" He Qingqing rushed in and slapped the secretary in the face.
"Qingqing, what are you doing? Secretary Yang just felt dizzy and I helped her up." Nan Feng explained hurriedly.
He Qingqing quickly stepped forward, took Nan Feng's arm, and said with a jealous look on her face: "Who knows if she is really dizzy or just trying to seduce you, we are all girls and I don't know her little tricks yet."
"Secretary Yang is pregnant." Nan Feng felt helpless.
"Being pregnant doesn't affect her being horny." He Qingqing still refused to give in.
Nan Feng turned to the secretary who was sobbing quietly and said, "Secretary Yang, I'm sorry, please take your maternity leave early. Your salary will be doubled."
"People like this should be fired. Why should they be paid double the salary?"
"Okay, He Qingqing, stop making trouble."
Seeing Nan Feng was angry, He Qingqing quickly changed her attitude and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, Feng, I just care about you too much. I'm afraid that someone else will snatch you away. I even made a lunch box for you, try it."
Nan Feng's expression softened slightly: "Qingqing, we are getting married soon. I hope we can trust each other more."
"I know. Try the ribs."
Nan Feng picked up a piece of pork ribs and took a bite. The taste was familiar. He seemed to have eaten it in a restaurant.
After dinner, He Qingqing leaned on Nan Feng's shoulder and said in a soft voice, "A Feng, can I sleep at your house tonight?"
"Qingqing, let's live together after we get married. This is my responsibility to you."
"But……"
"I still have work to deal with. I'll ask my assistant to take you there." Nan Feng interrupted her.
"No, I'll go by myself."
After He Qingqing left, Nan Feng took out a stack of photos from the drawer and asked, "Have I changed? I loved Qingqing so much before, but why do I feel so inexplicably resistant when I see her now?"
