Chapter 708 An Eye for an Eye
Chapter 708 An Eye for an Eye
After Luo Ning left Jidu, Xie Chang'an was completely dejected.
Since getting married, he has been with his wife every day, and now that he is suddenly alone, he feels a little uncomfortable.
I can't even sleep well at night.
Ye Yiran continued to visit Luo Ning's house as always, bringing news about Luo Er Ya each time.
They received a warm welcome from Luo Baiwan and Liu Aihong.
When Luo Ning is not home, there is no one to cook.
However, Zheng Xiu'e, along with Huwa, followed Wu Bei to Jidu and continued her cooking duties.
So Ye still has food to eat.
Besides Ye, Quan Jin also comes here very frequently.
If Luo Ning hadn't disagreed, he would have taken Ling Wei, who was temporarily sleeping in the study, to his home.
A week has passed since Luo Ning left, and there is still no sign of her returning, nor has she called home.
Xie Chang'an has hardly been home this week, and has been resting in the house assigned to him by the army.
Without Luo Ning at home, life was meaningless; he devoted himself entirely to his work.
If Luo Ning doesn't come back soon, the clothing company's spring collection may have to be shelved.
That girl left for a whole week without even calling him.
Once outside, he felt like a kite with a broken string; Xie Chang'an was helpless and missed Luo Ning terribly.
As he left his office that evening to rest, Xiao Di suddenly came running up, panting, "Commander, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is back! She's in Xicheng, Jidu now. The bus she was on overturned, and she was injured. She's resting at the Ruyi Hotel for now and called our military region from the hotel's phone!"
Xie Chang'an was instantly stunned and quickly walked outside.
At the same time, he wondered why his wife called the communications room instead of calling his office directly.
Xie Chang'an drove himself towards the western part of the city.
When he arrived near the Xicheng Ruyi Hotel, he opened the car door and got out.
Suddenly, he heard a strange sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around warily and saw Xu Jianbin walking out of the darkness, leaning on his cane.
"Chang'an, long time no see!" Xu Jianbin raised his hand, and a cloud of dust rushed towards Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an immediately held his breath and retreated repeatedly, "Xu Jianbin, you bastard!"
"Hehe!" Xu Jianbin was relieved to see that Xie Chang'an had been infected.
"Chang'an, do you know how much time and effort it took me to send you that message? I started preparing it as soon as I left Jidu from Luoning!"
"That bitch Luo Ning broke me and Zhang Yue up! Today I'm going to get my revenge! Someone, take him upstairs!"
Xu Jianbin waved his hand, and more than a dozen people emerged from the darkness.
Although Xie Chang'an managed to hold his breath in time, the powder had already been sprinkled on his face and penetrated his body. His legs went weak, and he was unable to resist at all. He was forced to be carried upstairs.
Xu Jianbin watched with a sinister look as Xie Chang'an was taken to a room on the second floor, from which came the screams of a woman. A triumphant smile flashed across his eyes as he strode away.
Half an hour later, Xu Jianbin returned to his rented room and lay in the cold bed, reminiscing about the time he spent with Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue used to like him, but he didn't have any feelings for her. He married Zhang Yue entirely to follow his mother's wishes.
If he hadn't been wearing a military uniform, he probably wouldn't have married Zhang Yue.
That was his honor, but also his constraint.
He came from a rural background and barely managed to become a company commander in the army by risking his life.
He can't choose his birth, but he can choose a wife from a good family.
But it backfired.
His neglect of Zhang Yue over the years was actually a subconscious act of rebellion.
He had been searching for a woman more suitable for him, and he found her.
But all the women were circling around Xie Chang'an, so he kept following Xie Chang'an, hoping that the women would glance at him more.
Perhaps his life will take a new turn for the better.
But those blind women can only see Xie Chang'an, not his good qualities.
Until Tian Xiaoxiao appeared, her youthful appearance held great attraction for him.
Moreover, Tian Xiaoxiao was seducing him, but he pretended not to understand and even took on the responsibility of caring for her, replacing his brother.
His comrades highly praised his great benevolence and righteousness.
He thought he would have his spring, get a promotion, get divorced, and reach the pinnacle of his life.
The result is p!
His good deed was ruined by that troublemaker Luo Ning!
Tian Xiaoxiao was forced to quit her job, and Zhang Yue divorced him.
This is the result he wanted, yet it's not the result he wanted.
He wanted a divorce, but before he could even taste the pleasures of that slut Tian Xiaoxiao, she was out of the picture.
He was very unwilling to accept that three years of hard work had gone to waste.
So he chased after her to Jiangbei because he knew Zhang Yue was there.
He pretended to try to salvage the marriage, but in reality, he wanted to leave Xie Chang'an with the impression he had long held.
He subtly tried to break up Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning, but Xie Chang'an ignored his words.
His divisive tactics began when Xie Chang'an returned to the army after his wedding.
Xie Chang'an, that troublesome old man, suddenly got married, so there won't be any high-status women around him anymore.
This made him very dissatisfied.
Moreover, Xie Chang'an brought back so many things, all prepared by his wife, which he found unbearable.
They were both born into poverty, so why does Xie Chang'an have a higher position and live a better life than him?!
So he spared no effort in speaking ill of Luo Ning, completely ruining her reputation.
Even so, Xie Chang'an still liked Luo Ning, and his liking for her grew stronger, which infuriated him.
After Luo Ning arrived in Jidu, he actually discovered his identity, but he did not make it public.
He wanted to see what Luo Ning was up to, and he wanted to test Luo Ning himself.
That punch nearly killed him, and from then on, he was always a little afraid of Luo Ning.
Luo Ning constantly targeted the women who had appeared around Xie Chang'an, and even tried to break them up through Zhang Yue.
He actually knew, but he pretended not to know, which was the result he wanted.
Things were developing in the direction he hoped for, but they were also beyond his control.
He went to the village with Xie Chang'an, but Zhang Yue did not come back with him. He successfully got a divorce, but was forced to divorce by Luo Ning.
This result was a relief for him; he was happy, but he had to pretend to be in unbearable pain.
He stopped acting only when his comrades gradually forgot about him.
Xie Chang'an's life is getting better and better, and he has stood up and may even become the commander of an independent regiment.
He couldn't sit still.
While keeping Zhang Yue on his toes, he also looked for opportunities to get promoted and break up Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning.
Why did he get a divorce, but Xie Chang'an didn't?
He soon found an opportunity because he saw Ye's ambition and began to approach Ye.
All the information obtained from Zhang Yue was provided to Ye.
Then he was promoted to battalion commander, and he thought his life was about to reach its peak and he was about to achieve great things.
However, he suffered retaliation from Luo Ning and was sent to the battlefield, where he lost a leg.
He was forced to retire from the military.
Just as his life was beginning to take off, he was plunged off a cliff, and this defeat overwhelmed him.
He went to find Zhang Yue, and it took him a lot of effort to find her, but she refused to be with him and even got pregnant with his illegitimate child.
The people of Luoning drove him out of Jiangbei, and he never had the chance to go back.
He could only return to Jidu and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
After waiting for so long, he finally got his chance.
Xu Jianbin smiled sinisterly; his long-held wish had finally come true.
Just then, a fire suddenly broke out outside.
Xu Jianbin's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly got out of bed.
However, he couldn't get up no matter what he did, as if he were nailed to the bed.
Amidst the raging fire, Luo Ning's grim face was so clearly visible...
