She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1748: Chapter 1825: A Bastard

The little fat man froze, looking incredulously at Xu Qigang, and then at the aggrieved yet indignant expression of Chen Yingjie. What’s happening here? Have they all taken the wrong medicine?

”Hmph! I’m not saying anything. You want me to criticize you so you’ll feel better, right? Dream on.” Meng Ping retorted childishly, snorting as he stepped forward to speak to Feng Zhenzhen, ”I want to see Ningning, let me in.”

Initially, Feng Zhenzhen refused, but she suddenly thought of something, a hint of amusement crossing her face as she stepped aside, ”Mr. Meng, please come in.”

Thus, Meng Ping swaggered inside with the little fat man, Chen Yingjie was absolutely infuriated, grabbing Feng Zhenzhen’s collar and demanding, ”Why did you let him in?”

”We’re partners, obviously we have the right to go in.” Feng Zhenzhen stood unmoving, the collar held in his hand making it somewhat hard for her to breathe, forcing her to stand on tiptoe to get a bit closer for a little more comfort.

Suddenly being so close, Chen Yingjie seemed startled by something hot, letting go abruptly. A suspicious blush crept onto his face, hands behind his back as he stammered, ”Then... then why can’t we... see... see sister-in-law? We, after all, are the team leader’s husband!”

Feng Zhenzhen said meaningfully, ”I wouldn’t be so sure.”

These simple four words left Xu Qigang unable to stand steady anymore, his body staggering, nearly falling headfirst.

Feng Zhenzhen turned and closed the door, Chen Yingjie muttered, ”Heart as hard as iron.”

”Team leader, maybe we should head back first! We can come again to apologize once sister-in-law’s anger subsides,” Renault said, ”Waiting here endlessly won’t help either!”

”You all go back first!” What he had done, he should take responsibility for it himself. It’s not Xiao Ning’s fault, it’s him who went too far. Waiting at the door would allow him to thoroughly examine his conscience.

Xu Qigang painfully closed his eyes, unsure of how to atone. He didn’t even dare to hope for Xiao Ning’s forgiveness; he was too selfish, it had always been Xiao Ning giving all of herself, carefully maintaining the family.

And him?

He was just a bastard, not at all a qualified husband.

”I’m not going back,” Renault stubbornly replied, ”If you’re not going back, I won’t either, it’s all my fault for being inept, too slow and unresponsive.” Actually, he wanted to say let Qin Xue die if she’s going to die, it would spare others from being dragged down, but considering his role as a rescue comrade, he swallowed back down his thoughts.

Chen Yingjie was actually more rule-abiding than Renault; having grown up in the courtyard, he was born into a noble rescue comrade family. Since his youth, he clearly knew his goals and his responsibilities.

Because of Qin Xue, the team leader had a conflict with sister-in-law, but in his eyes, the team leader wasn’t wrong. Any rescue comrade would have acted similarly, although he hadn’t met someone he liked, nor did he know what liking someone felt like.

So he simply kept quiet.

”Renault, I’m entrusting you with a task.”

”Team leader, go ahead.” Hearing a command made Renault’s eyes shine, as long as the team leader still gave him tasks, he felt assured.

”Go to my office and take out the envelope from the bottom drawer on the left side of my desk, and submit it to the organization department.”

”Huh? What’s written in that envelope?”

”Just do as I told you.” Xu Qigang, with an unreadable expression, which Renault couldn’t decipher, nodded and quickly left.
