Chapter 348 I Won’t Give You A Break!
When Du Bei wakes up, what she sees first are the six strong men around her. She screws her eyes, feeling very dizzy, “What’s up?”
Wait, it is not Xiao’s club. It looks like…in the wild!
Yes. There are bushes around, with no other people. It is frighteningly desolate!
In an instant, Du Bei is drawn back to consciousness completely. She looks alertly at the six men, “Who are you? What do you want to do? Do you know who I am? If anything happens to me, none of you can survive!”
The six men exchange a look and smile filthily.
“Miss Du, you are the very person we are looking for.”
One of the men says. When he pronounces the words Miss Du, the name seems to be with some other meanings.
Du Bei feels her heart sink. Shit, they really come for her!
Du Bei She has got along with a lot of men. Seeing their expressions, how can she not understand what these men want to do?
It is imaginable that it is not going to be easy later.
In an instant, Du Bei feels scared. She shouted, “Wait. Wait. I have money. Who hires you? I can pay you double!”
The men are approaching her. Du Bei cries in a loud voice, “No. Triple…I triple the payment…Five times? Ten, OK? Stop now and I will write the check to you at once!”
Money? Yes, everyone likes money. The amount Du Bei offers is deadly attractive. However, the men are clear that this can never be solved by money!
The leader winks at the others. Another man takes out a syringe. He rudely grabs Du Bei’s arm and injects her with the liquid inside quickly.
“What are you injecting me with? Stop?” Du Bei is scared, she curses, “I am Du Bei! The daughter of Du Feng from Zhenxing Society! How dare you do this to me? All your family will be killed! Let me go. Let me go!”
The fiercer Du Bei struggles, the sooner the medicine takes effect. Within a few seconds, she feels that her whole body floats up. She sees a lot of illusions.
The men notice that Du Bu suddenly turns high. They realize that the medicine is in effect.
It is a drug of high purity, for direct intravenous injection. It can make users addicted after using it three times. The money payer told them to take “good” care of Du Bei. She is supposed to go further in the things she has been always doing. However, she can not to be killed or injured.
The sights in front of her gets vague. Du Bei understands that what the man injected is definitely a drug!
She often takes drugs, but not those of high purity. She tries to have a fun at most.
She is clear about the danger of drugs. Once being addicted to it, it is hard to get away from it. She is a pleasure seeker, but she never risks her life.
But now…
Her last drop of sense tells her that this time…she screws up.
The leader sees that Du Bei’s face is blushing and she begins to tear her clothes off. He smiles more evilly, “Guys, action.”
It is at 4 am when Xia Ning is woken up by her mother-in-law. She goes to the living room with sleepy eyes and sees her mother-in-law eating breakfast, while Me Ruo is busy in the kitchen.
It is undeniable that in the aspect of being a wife, Mei Ruo is absolutely more qualified than her.
“Good morning, Mom.”
“Do as instructed here. Now!” Zheng Yao points at the paper on the table and says in a cold voice.
Xia Ning goes to the paper and reads it. She feels shocked at once!
There are dozens of food listed on it, all for barbecue. It must take her a lot of time to get them all prepared!
Seemingly, Zheng Yao planned it in advance. It is four in the early morning. It will be around eight after Xia Ning buys and sauces the food.
“Why are you still standing there foolishly? Go to buy the things! Didn’t you see my message last evening?”
Xia Ning twitches her lips and puts the paper aside, “I will change my clothes and go out for them.”
Xia Ning comes downstairs. She dials Zhang Hai’s number, asking, “Zhang, sorry to call you so early. Can you come here?”
One hour later, Xia Ning and Zhang Hai carry two bags of things and come back to the military compound.
Xia Ning arranges the food. There are four bags of them. It is totally impossible for three women to finish the food. Zheng Yao is obviously making tricks to punish her.
Xia Ning could have refused that. However, Zheng Yao is Rui’s mother. As long as she can, Xia Ning will tolerate her. When she fails, she will naturally fight back.
Zhang Hai is told to stay outside the door. Or, if Zhang Hai was here, it would be much more inconvenient for her to do the saucing.
Mei Ruo has been gossiping with Zheng Yao outside. Xia Ning is clear that she has to do everything by her own today. She will need to eat more sugar later.
Or, if she had glucopenia in the half way, no one would help her.
Luckily, there are still some bars of chocolate in the refrigerator. They may be enough for her to survive the day.
With the “spare weapons”, Xia Ning rolls up her sleeves and gets down to work.
It is eight in the morning, sunny outside. The sun is always soft before noon.
Xia Ning carries a big bag, which seems to be even as heavy as her. Zheng Yao chooses to climb the mountain. As to Xia Ning, who has the problem of glucopenia, climbing mountains is an activity of risking her life.
However, it is her mother-in-law’s order. She can’t but follow it temporarily.
Luckily, Zhang Hai goes with them. He also carries a lot of things on his back. Actually, those on Zhang Hai’s back are supposed to be carried by Xia Ning. But being a tender woman, she really can’t carry so many things. So, Zheng Yao is “generous” to allow Zhang Hai to help her.
“Mrs. Yi, let me take that together. I am strong. I have been trained. They are nothing to me.” Zhang Hai goes hurriedly to Xia Ning. He pulls the bags from her back when he speaks.
He is a scout, but he has taken very hard exercises for a long time. It was normal for him to carry stuff of hundreds of kilos to climb mountains and go across rivers. But Mrs. Yi is different. She is tender and weak. In addition, she has the problem of glucopenia. How can she bear to carry so many things to climb the mountain?
“Zhang Hai, are you rebelling? Stay away from her.”
At the time, Zheng Yao’s displeased voice is heard ahead. Zhang Hai’s hands pause. He lifts his head and sees Zheng Yao’s angry eyes. He wants to respond. But Xia Ning pats on him and says, “Don’t speak. Go behind me.”
Then, Xia Ning draws the belt of the bag and catches up with Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo.
She and Zhang Hai are exhausted behind, while Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo are enjoying the scenery of mountains and waters ahead, with joy and laughing. By comparison, Xia Ning feels very sad.
However, the sadder she is, the more grateful she feels to Yi Yunrui. When he is not around, she is really nobody.
She has been thinking about one thing for many years. What did Yi Yunrui like her for at that time?
Among the numerous women around Yi Yunrui, to be honest, she is the undoubtedly worst one. She stayed with Yi Yunrui and brought a lot of troubles to him. Except for love, she doesn’t know what she has is better than the others.
Anyway, if she is told to let go…She is unwilling to do so. She remembers the scene that Yi Yunrui stayed in the locked-up room and feels heartbroken!
As long as Yi Yunrui doesn’t give up, she will “shamelessly” stay by him.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning feels her heart filled with energy. She grits her teeth and speeds up her steps.
As she estimates, Zheng Yao will go to the top of the mountain and that’s the end. At least, she will be able to sit down to take a break.
Zhang Hai stands far away. Looking at Xia Ning’s stubborn back, he feels very sorry for her.
The daughter-in-law of noble families is really a tough job!
He must do something. He really can’t just watch that quietly.
Suddenly, Zhang Hai has an idea. His eyes flash. That is it!
They have walked for two hours. Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo stop at the barbecue field on the top of the mountain. There is a large shed. Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo sit down to enjoy the coolness, while Xia Ning takes down all the things from her back and gives a sigh of relief.
Seemingly, she has never ever walked such a long way…
Zheng Yao glances at Xia Ning. She checks the watch and thinks that it is almost the time. She says, “Let’s have the barbecue here. Xia Ning, we may rely on your technique.”
Xia Ning slightly frowns. Based on Zheng Yao’s speech, Xia Ning is supposed to barbecue the food for Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo.
Xia Ning gives a sigh in her heart, “Xia Ning, you have to live with it.”
“OK.” Xia Ning responds. She pours the charcoal into the barbecue grill and starts to make a fire.
The shed might be reserved by Zheng Yao in advance. It is independent and quite far away from those of other visitors. It seems that before she finishes feeding Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo, there won’t be anyone to help her.
Zhang Hai is arranging the food beside her. When he sees the black prints on Xia Ning’s face and hands, he can’t help feeling worried about her.
“Mrs. Yi, you have just walked such a long way. You may take a break. Let me do it.” Zhang Hai goes to her and grabs the fire tongs from her.
“Zhang Hai, what’s wrong with you? If it happens again, I will tell your commander to transfer you to the most isolated place! Go away!” Zheng Yao is drinking cool tea. However, her temper doesn’t seem to get cool.
They hear her words and feel that they smell the gunpowder.
Xia Ning takes the fire tongs from Zhang Hai and shouts in a low voice, “Today, you just stand aside and watch. Don’t come over! Understand?”
“Mrs. Yi, Commander Yi told me to carefully protect you…”
“You stand aside and that’s the best protection to me.” Xia Ning doesn’t know whether Zhang Yao means it seriously. Anyway, she has to give consideration to the future of Zhang Hai’s career.
Xia Ning finds that Zhang Hai still stands there. She turns angry and says, “You even don’t listen to me now?”
She knows that Zhang Yao is staring at them behind.
Zhang Hai feels helpless. He can’t but nod, replying, “Mrs. Yi, take it easy, don’t hurt yourself.”
Then, Zhang Hai takes a step backward to stay aside.
Zheng Yao puts on a smile on her face and continues to chat with Mei Ruo.
It takes Xia Ning quite a while to make the fire. She puts the wire netting above it and puts the sauced food on it to barbecue. After a while, Xia Ning sends the done food to Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo.
The food looks nice. Zheng Yao doesn’t say anything. She takes up a drumstick and takes a bite, then frowns and throws it away, complaining, “It is too sweet. Make another one for me!”
Xia Ning has expected Zheng Yao’s reactions. She doesn’t say anything but goes directly to barbecue again.
The second drumstick is dumped by Zheng Yao, too. The reason is that it is not sweet enough.
Xia Ning takes a deep breath. It seems that Zheng Yao won’t give her any break today.
“Ah. Is that Ning? What a coincidence!”
Suddenly, a happy voice is heard and a pretty woman comes directly towards their shed.
