Chapter 348: Chapter 346: Found Someone 3_1

No sooner had these words fallen than Xu Zhigang, who was just about to come see Xia Ningxing, heard them.

He abruptly stopped in his tracks, his simple face lifted, gazing at the man inside the health center.

He was exceptionally handsome, with a tall and upright stature, like the pine and cypress trees he often saw on the mountains when hunting.

His facial features were prominent and distinct, exuding charm.

His clothes were extraordinary, and his manner of speaking was refined, clearly of noble birth.

Even if Xu Zhigang was unwilling to admit it, he had to concede that only such a man would be worthy of Xia Ningxing.

And he, a mere peasant, was simply not qualified to carry her shoes.

Xu Zhigang showed a hint of self-mockery, turned around, and chose not to go in.

Inside the health center, Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help swallowing her saliva again as she looked at Lu Tingli.

Oh my god! Xiaxia’s man is so handsome!

She’d never seen such a handsome man in her life!

It was already something that her beau was handsome, but Ruan Ruanruan glanced at her brothers and Tuanzi again, and her eyes filled with adoration.

Heavens!

The looks of this entire family are just too extraordinary!

Just then, a tumultuous wailing came from outside—

Wu Wenwen had also been found and brought back.

Her family was surrounding her, crying and wailing.

"Why is Xia Ningxing alive after being rescued, but my daughter is dead? You must give me an explanation!" Wu Wenwen’s mother cried out as she looked at her daughter’s stiffening body, screaming hoarsely at the rescue team and the authorities.

To a mother, her child is flesh torn from her own body; how could she not be grief-stricken and desperate now that this piece of her flesh was dead!

The rescue team looked bewildered: "We’re sorry, we don’t know what happened. She was already dead when we found her."

The officials replied, "Please take care of yourself. The coroner has just examined her, and the cause of death for Wu Wenwen was a cranial injury resulting from a blow to the temple against a corner of the wall. From the situation at the scene, we can rule out the possibility of homicide, and judging from the position and angle of the body at the time of death, it was preliminarily determined to be either suicide or the result of an accident. We will continue to investigate the specific circumstances."

"What do you mean by ’suicide’?" As soon as Mrs. Wu heard these words, she exploded, forgetting to cry. She stood up angrily and retorted, "My daughter was young and had a bright future ahead of her; why would she possibly commit suicide? It must be murder! Murder!"

"And as for the accident, why don’t you demonstrate one for me!"

She bombarded them with questions, one after the other.

"If you ask me, the murderer is definitely Xia Ningxing. My daughter wrote to me before, saying Xia Ningxing always bullied her, so since the two of them disappeared together, it must have been a planned and premeditated murder by Xia Ningxing!" Mrs. Wu suddenly turned into a detective and then began to analyze and reason with apparent sense.

With this speculation, Mrs. Wu instantly became furious, her expression fierce as she rushed toward the health center.

"Xia Ningxing, you murderer, you’ll pay with your life for my daughter!" Now certain Xia Ningxing was the cause of Wu Wenwen’s death, Mrs. Wu, like a madwoman, was about to rush over and attack Xia Ningxing.

She wanted to avenge her precious daughter!

Avenge her!

"Madwoman!" The Xia family and Lu Tingli were no pushovers, and they immediately stopped her.

Several brothers held her down on the ground.

Lu Tingli, on the other hand, was protecting Xia Ningxing.

Just thinking about the perpetrator daring to spout nonsense here made Mrs. Xia tremble with rage as she pointed at her, "You must be Wu Wenwen’s mother, right? Let me tell you, it was your daughter who pushed my daughter off the cliff. After pushing her off, your daughter tried to kill mine and ended up slipping and hitting her temple against the wall corner, which caused her injury. What does that have to do with my daughter!"

On the way back, Lu Tingli told me all about what happened.

"If your daughter is dead, she got what she deserved. Good riddance!"

Mrs. Xia’s voice was ice-cold, even with a touch of glee.

Was she supposed to feel happy, or was she expected to show sympathy?

If it hadn’t been for Bao’er’s luck, she would probably have been killed by that bitch Wu Wenwen long ago.

She had thought that since Wu Wenwen was dead, it was retribution enough and they would not pursue the matter any further. After all, one should be forgiving when possible. But look at them, they even had the audacity to blame us!

It was utterly ridiculous!

Upon hearing her defame her daughter and say that her daughter’s death was deserved, Mrs. Wu glared at her furiously, "What nonsense are you spouting, you trash? It was your despicable daughter who premeditated and killed my daughter, and you dare say my daughter pushed yours off the cliff? Do you have any evidence?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Mrs. Xia retorted sharply.

Mrs. Wu was speechless; of course, she had no evidence. If she did, she would’ve had the authorities make an arrest long ago!

"Even if I don’t have evidence, my Wenwen was so well-behaved and sensible. She wouldn’t even dare to kill an ant, let alone a person," Mrs. Wu blurted out her illogical conviction with absolute certainty!

"Well-behaved and sensible?" Upon hearing this, Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, almost crying with laughter:

"Auntie, how can you have the nerve to say Wu Wenwen was well-behaved and sensible? Ever since she came down to the countryside, she has been bullying me and Xiaxia everywhere, leading others to isolate us, and she even tried to ruin Xiaxia’s purity."

"Such despicable and shameless scum, well-behaved? Sensible? You’re full of crap!" Ruan Ruanruan, furious to the extreme, couldn’t help but curse.

What kind of nonsense was this?

Her own daughter caused harm, and yet she herself faced retribution and died, and she still had the nerve to blame others?

"Fine! You won’t admit it, will you?" Mrs. Wu said with a spiteful laugh, pointing at them, "I’m telling you, I will not let you off the hook. We’ll see each other in court!"

Even if it meant spending her entire fortune, she was determined to sue them to the bitter end to avenge her daughter.

"Sue then, sue! Who’s afraid of whom!" Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but sneer, hands on her hips.

"My sister didn’t kill anyone, and we’re not afraid of a lawsuit."

"That’s right! Not afraid at all!"

The brothers chorused in unison.

Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth and left hatefully, vowing to fight the Xia family to the end.

...

Because of this incident, Xia Ningxing could end her countryside assignment early.

After she woke up, she could go home.

Xia Ningxing woke up two days later.

"Baby Xing! You’re finally awake!" Lu Tingli gripped her fingers tightly, his face that had been tense for days finally breaking into a smile as he saw her awaken.

Despite his usual frosty demeanor, like a walking iceberg, his smile could warm like spring, melting ice and snow, making one’s heart warm, like the blazing sun.

"Lu, have I slept for a long time?" Xia Ningxing’s voice was hoarse, and she looked at him with a blank gaze.
