CHAPTER 09 Duel of Rivals: Brazenly Snatching Away a Person

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Regarding ... ... have a look at this?'' He handed out a stack of paper from the car.

What nonsense are you talking about? This clothing is only over 1,000 yuan. Xia Changning, are you playing with me again? I am extremely angry

We quietly filled ourselves with food and drink, had some fruit after the meal, and drank tea. Finally, when it reached 9 o'clock, Xia Changning said, "Let's go, I will take you home"

He is not wrong either. All he has to do is show up in front of me and Ding Yue, and say to Ding Yue, "Ning Fusheng is my girlfriend," and there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that he will ruin things for both Ding Yue and me.

I will agree, and I will not keep you from attending Ding Yue's appointment

I picked up my bag, grabbed my coat, and ran out the door

Ding Yue gently repeated, "I like you too, Fusheng. Being with you brings me peace of mind"

I忍耐着内心的不安问他: "What exactly is the matter, that you cannot speak of it now?"

After a while, I remembered something else, "My mother prefers honest children"

I am too

What did he say? Is he asking me to take off my clothes? I shouted at him in shame and anger: "You scoundrel!"

I have made an appointment with Ding Yue for dinner

He slowly walked over to me and squatted down, smiling as he said, "Yes, Fusheng, you have provoked me."

I shook my head and did not tell him, pulling at his clothes and saying: "It's late, let's go home, my mom is waiting at the door."

You just tell me. I can't wait to make a big fuss about it, letting everyone in the city know that I, Xia Changning, am desperately pursuing Ning Fusheng. How many days of administrative detention would one receive for illegal detention that did not result in personal injury? I have a good attitude towards admitting my guilt, and I can also publicly apologize, so I estimate I would only be inside for a few days before coming out again. What do you think?

Fusheng, you are actually quite easy to deceive. Can't you see that I just want to trick you into coming to my house

Xia Changning swiftly took me to a residential community. I looked around and it didn't seem like an office space, which made me suspicious. "Your office? I remember that the office of Shun Cheng Security is not here."

Xia Changning shouted angrily: "Wei Zi, get away!"

What would you like to drink

I immediately untied the belt of my coat

I took a breath and pointed at him, saying: "If you want money, I'll pay with my life!"

I hesitated for a moment, did not turn back, took out my phone and sent him a message, "Tomorrow is the weekend, shall we meet my parents?"

Xia Changning chuckled, got out of the car, and generously said: "The cups and the desk lamp are not expensive, but those few bottles of wine you broke were a bit pricey. The broken bottles are still here; do you want to take them for an appraisal?"

The film ended at 6 o'clock, which was supposed to be the time for Ding Yue and me to have dinner together, yet I found myself sitting at the dining table savoring Xia Changning's culinary skills. It was a simple meal of two dishes and a soup. His cooking was quite good, and I was able to eat it.

Upon returning to my room, I quickly sent a text message to Ding Yuefa, "My parents are like investigators checking household registrations, be careful with your answers tomorrow."

I would like you to take a look at him first; you can ask him these questions. He has been very good to me

What?

I suddenly desire to have money, and then generously throw it at him, allowing Xia Changning to disappear far away. Over 40,000 yuan, I have only been working for a few months; this matter cannot possibly be known by my parents. What should I do

Xia Changning poured a cup of tea and sat on the white sofa. Why is it that even though I am standing and he is sitting, I still seem to be a head shorter than him?

Oh, this is another office location, handling other business unrelated to the company's operations

Aqi asked me to pass this on. He said, since they are my friends, I can sell it to them at cost price. It's not much, just over 40,000 yuan

Today is Friday. I had originally made plans to have dinner with Ding Yue after work. I also intended to discuss with Ding Yue about taking him home to meet my parents over the weekend. Unexpectedly, just as I stepped out of the school gate, Xia Changning appeared.

Fusheng, I am merely making a suggestion. If you want to wear a coat worth 28,000, you can pay me back in installments.

His words made me feel uneasy. Could it be that Ding Yue did not return the clothes and instead put a price tag on them? I am not familiar with brand names, but Xia Changning is used to being flashy; could he really make a mistake?

I blushed and walked out of the elevator

Xia Changning turned back to look at me and smiled, that smile carried a hint of malice

Ding Yue called out to me loudly, and when I turned around, he waved his hand for me to continue walking

You cannot open it

Xia Changning smiled, "Look at where you are going with this. If I wanted to entangle you, could you still be having a warm meal and shopping with Ding Yue?"

I saw Ding Yue looking at his phone, standing there with it for quite a while. There were no messages yet; was he unwilling? Just as I was lost in thought, a message arrived. I opened it and saw he said: "Fusheng, what do I need to buy? Are there any precautions? I'm a bit nervous!"

He politely said, "Fusheng, I have something I would like to discuss with you"

Ding Yue relaxed all of a sudden, gently embracing me and smiling as he said, "How much do you have to pay to be this worried?"

I am filled with hatred, staring at him with wide eyes

He smiled with a sense of relief, "How about this? I will first give you the money to repay Xia Changning's friend; owing me is better than owing others"

I must consult a lawyer! I do not know where this idea came from

I took a few steps back and softly said: "There is no signal on the phone at Xia Changning's place"

The parents exchanged glances, feeling that it would be better to meet tomorrow

My mood suddenly soared. I laughed and ran away.

I couldn't help but smile, as Xia Changning helped me repay Aqi, intending to become my creditor. How is Ding Yue any different? However, I am willing. I looked at Ding Yue and said, "I usually don't care about the meals and drinks you treat me to, but I will repay you this amount of money, and you must accept it."

If this is tolerable, what is not tolerable

You are engaging in illegal detention

I smashed Xia Changning's home

School dismisses early on Friday, it is only 3:30, it will not delay you

The phone rang again, and I pressed the answer button. Ding Yue's anxious voice came through: "Fusheng, where are you?"

"Do nothing, I don't want to see you having dinner with Ding Yue! I will take you home at 9:30. Fusheng, listen to me this once, do not associate with Ding Yue anymore. He is truly not suitable for you"

Ding Yue stared at me and asked what was wrong, and I only vaguely told him: "Last time I had a quarrel with Xia Changning, I smashed his friend's shop, and he wants me to pay for it, and it's dragged on until now"

I lowered my head and entered the room, where the heating was sufficient, and I took off my coat

I walked to the window and asked him, "Will you still be like this in the future?"

Ding Yue simply called and said with a smile, "Fusheng, think about what else there is, and I will note it all down."

I then got into his car like this

By the time I saw Ding Yue, I had already calmed down. What good would it do to tell him the truth? All men get angry; I was afraid that Ding Yue would get angry and fight with Xia Changning. Xia Changning's company has so many security guards, and his social connections are so complicated. I was worried that Ding Yue would come to harm.

Xia Changning suppressed a laugh and said, "Fusheng, there are surveillance cameras in the elevator. Do you want to perform a striptease in front of the security guard?"

I lay down in bed, closed my eyes, and Ding Yue's voice echoed repeatedly in my mind. I recalled that Xia Changning had also said something similar. How can people be so different from one another

"Is it impressive just because you have money? Is it impressive because you are involved in the underworld?" I almost shouted at him with tears in my voice

I said coldly: "You know that Ding Yue and I are in a relationship. If you continue to harass me, I will sue you for harassment"

Received. The files are all prepared. Is there anything else

I anxiously waited for the elevator doors to open, as the sound of a fight truly echoed from within the room. I turned and ran down the fire escape, my heart racing as if it were about to leap out of my chest

The higher the elevator ascended, the more uneasy I felt. The company generally prefers to rent apartments on the first or second floor within the community for convenience. However, Xia Changning pressed the button for the thirty-third floor as soon as she entered the elevator

I pushed the window open with a bang, and the cold wind rushed in, causing me to shiver. "If you dare to come again, I will show you what death looks like!"

I lowered my head and asked him: "Why? Wu Yuewei likes black and white designed clothing, and you like it too. You two are quite a match. You are both wealthy individuals, each with an extraordinary background. Why make things difficult for me? Have I ever offended you before?"

Xia Changning smiled, "Fusheng, you are not compensating me, but compensating Aqi. If you do not compensate, the plaintiff in court will be Aqi, and the defendants will be you and me. I will admit my mistake as I am friends with Aqi. By the way, it seems that there are still your fingerprints on those bottles. Aqi has already conducted a material evidence identification."

In a few minutes, I will send him another message, "You might as well buy a bouquet of flowers and bring a basket of fruit."

A scene suddenly played out in my mind where a group of fierce and menacing thugs came knocking at the door. I held my breath and screamed, "Xia Changning, you are going too far!" I took off my high-heeled boots and swung them at him.

My parents turned their heads in unison, their expressions becoming serious. My action of biting into the apple slowed down, and feeling tense, I began to confess: "It was introduced by Meizi, a good friend of Meishan, who works at the Foreign Trade Bureau, and is twenty-eight years old this year, and I suppose he looks alright."

Line ! ''

I have already said that I like Ding Yue. I do not want to cry, throw a tantrum, or hang myself. I also do not want to lose my composure due to a surge of emotions. Please do not force me any further. As for Xia Changning, I truly have no way out. If it comes to the point of death, I still do not dare to do so; I can only plead with him like this.

I am about to be infuriated by him. I took out my phone to call Ding Yue, but there was actually no signal!

My parents were watching television. Upon seeing me return, my mother tentatively asked, "Fusheng, why have you been eating out every night recently? Are you really not with Xia Changning?"

I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, I saw Xia Changning in front of me, merely a human-shaped sculpture squatting on the ground. I walked over and sat down on the sofa, pressing the buttons on the remote control, focusing intently on "007"

Ding Yue hailed a taxi to take me home, and as always, he insisted on watching me enter the community. After walking a few steps, I turned back to tell him: "It's not a particularly large amount of money, just over 10,000 yuan. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would give me money. I can pay it back."

"How about I take another look? Don't worry, Fusheng, whatever I want to do to you, you have long been my type." Xia Changning displayed an expression of confusion and curiosity.

I am also very curious whether this black coat on me is from a brand worth 28,000 or a counterfeit worth just over 1,000

After running several floors, I finally dared to press the elevator button to go downstairs. My phone seemed to have a signal, and the notification sound kept ringing. I trembled as I ran and looked at the screen, seeing missed calls from Ding Yue one after another

Mother remained expressionless, shot me a glance, and said: "What is there to hide from us about your relationship with Xia Changning?"

I know, always reminding me that I am out of service area. I am not angry with you, silly girl

Upon hearing this, I immediately knew that it must be Xia Changning who was up to no good. He works in security, so he is naturally skilled in this area. He intends to be a witness and use my fingerprint as physical evidence. At that time, it was just him and me in the store, and he acknowledged the situation. How could I not compensate him for the fifteen thousand?

The elevator was enveloped in silence as he stared at the changing floor numbers without speaking. I too gazed at the constantly shifting floor numbers in silence. That silence and unease finally compelled me to break the quiet, and I said to him: "I won't go. I will prepare the agreement, sign it, and give it to you on Monday. I will not default on my obligations."

Xia Changning gazed at me steadily, her voice deep and gentle, "It doesn't matter, as long as I like you. I take back what I said after getting drunk at the shooting range. You are the most innocent girl I have ever met."

After sending this message, I quickened my pace and turned to the corner of hetushucomcom, hiding beside the flower platform

I was extremely angry and wanted to throw something at him. Just as my hand touched a porcelain vase, Xia Changning said: "Don't smash it, I spent 250,000 to buy this, it's a limited edition for the Olympic celebration. The judge may rule that you don't have to compensate, but I can find someone to help me collect the debt"

Alright, I take responsibility for what I threw! I don't have that much money right now, can I pay in installments? I gritted my teeth and agreed. Fifteen thousand, I will pay two thousand a month. With the New Year approaching, the school will have some year-end bonuses, and I will strive to pay it off in six months

I turned back and glared at him, "What do you want to do?"

Get in the car, it's too cold outside

Xia Changning chuckled, "I have returned it to Aqi for you. From now on, I am your creditor. I know you do not want to owe me, so the interest will be calculated at the bank's current rate, is that acceptable?"

I stood barefoot at the door, suddenly feeling weak, and sat down on the ground, hugging my legs as I looked at him. Xia Changning, dressed in black, was sunk into the white sofa, illuminated by the winter afternoon sunlight, creating a scene reminiscent of a picturesque landscape

I also bear some responsibility for this matter. How about this: you compensate 15,000, and I will cover the remaining amount

"Oh, Fusheng, are you going to try everything from crying to throwing a tantrum to hanging yourself?" Xia Changning said with a smile as she closed the window, seemingly gazing at me with deep affection, shrugging her shoulders helplessly, "Alright, you tell me, what would be a better way to pursue you? I also like to pursue my girlfriend in a normal way. It's just that with Ding Yue around, there's nothing I can do."

You are extorting me! How could those cups and lamps be so expensive! Besides, it was you who forced me! I... I was acting in self-defense. I am not very familiar with the law. I don't know who should compensate for the damage I caused at the Western restaurant that day when I lost my temper and smashed things. It was Xia Changning who had Aqi close the store and wouldn't let me leave, but it was indeed my hand that did the damage. The more I speak, the less confident I feel. Over 40,000 yuan, are the items in Aqi's store really that expensive? I don't know who should compensate for the damage I caused at the Western restaurant that day when I lost my temper and smashed things.

Over 40,000 yuan, are the items in Aqi's store really that expensive?

The first thing I smashed was a jade flower piece placed on a high stand made of sour wood that was closest to me, and I immediately fell over and shattered the LCD television at Xia Changning's home.

I covered my mouth and laughed, deliberately replying, "I don't know."

With a loud crash, it was extremely satisfying

Xia Changning opened the door and, seeing that I was still on guard, smiled and said: "The security guard will see you coming in with me. If anything happens to you, the surveillance camera has captured all the evidence."

Where is his home located

Fusheng, I personally believe that I am more suitable for you than Ding Yue. What is wrong with you being my girlfriend? I can handle both the social gatherings and the household chores... He is being shameless again

Ding— the elevator came to a stop, and Xia Changning casually uttered an extremely shameless remark: "Actually, it doesn't matter if we don't sign the agreement; you can just take off this coat worth 28,000 and use it as payment."

Upon hearing his words, I felt relieved

I understand. Alright, hurry back. The faint glow of the streetlight cast a long shadow of him. He smiled as he watched me go home

I watched him warily, while Xia Changning sat calmly in the car, looking at me. What could he want?

I opened it and was stunned by the numbers above, "What is this?"

Xia Changning held it in her hand, looking at it repeatedly, touching the fabric and exclaiming, "It really is a counterfeit, the technology for making fakes is truly impressive now"

Get in the car, let's go to my office to sign a loan agreement

I cried out, "Ding Yue..."

Watching Ding Yue hit his head with his phone, I silently laughed, my mind only thinking about the scene of Ding Yue coming tomorrow, and I returned home filled with joy

I was startled and shivered, and after a moment of daze, I rushed towards the door.

He held the elevator door, his gaze circling around me a few times, and said: "I don't believe it, this is clearly A/V's clothing, could I be mistaken?"

My parents have started to conduct a thorough investigation. I am having a bit of trouble coping. I rarely inquire about Ding Yue's family situation. All I know is that he is not from the local area; he is from Lianghe, Yunnan. Whatever my parents do, he does not take the initiative to mention it, and I feel embarrassed to press him for details. After my mother asked a few more questions, I shifted the focus onto Ding Yue.

The door quietly opened, and Wu Yuewei lazily stood at the entrance saying: "Dear Aidingyue, An Ning, what mischief are you up to? Fusheng, I'll help you; you go your way, if he tries to stop you, I am here."

I thought my eyes were red, and Xia Changning's expression gradually changed. He grabbed my arm, trying to drag me out of the room. It seemed that he instantly changed his mind again, pointing to a dark, grimy jar on the bookshelf and said: "Smash that one, it's the most valuable thing in the house. I don't want you to compensate me."

Take it easy, I can't make calls from my phone here. Fusheng, sit down, have a cup of tea to calm down, and watch a movie; time will pass quickly. You can explain to Ding Yue when you go back! Come and sit, let's watch "007"; after we finish, I'll cook for you. I'll take you back at 9:30, I promise

I couldn't help but smile and announced loudly: "I have a boyfriend."

I lowered my voice and said, "In any case, just adapt as needed; my parents will like you."

I thought about it again and finally remembered, "My dad does not like to drink alcohol, he prefers tea."

How is it him again! Starting tomorrow, the name of this rogue will never appear in my home again

I chuckled softly as I sat down next to my mother, took an apple from the fruit plate, and while eating, said: "It's not Xia Changning, his name is Ding Yue"

He caught the darts one by one, placing them neatly on the table, and after sizing them up, he said: "Fusheng, do you wear size 35 shoes?"

I truly do not like you! I said this sentence in a state of confusion

I looked around, and the monochrome design made it feel less like an office and more like a home. However, it is rare for an ordinary household to be decorated this way; one could call it tasteful in a positive light, or peculiar in a negative one.

He said coldly: "I am such a fool! In any case, I will not allow you to be with Ding Yue"

In fact, if it were truly a brand worth 28,000, I would only feel that Ding Yue is considerate; if it were a counterfeit, I would think he knows how to live his life

You need not busy yourself; I will leave after signing the agreement. I have made plans to have dinner with Ding Yue at 6 o'clock
