Chapter 142: Just because my man is good, you come to snatch him away?
After Ling Zhen left, Hu Nanzhen moved her hips slightly, closing the distance between her and the man beside her. She spoke carefully, "Shuya, you see, we've been dating for a while, and I haven't been to your house yet. Why not today..."
Before she could finish her words, Tang Shuya interrupted Hu Nanzhen in a gentle voice: "I have to go back to the company later, so I'll take you home first."
Hu Nanzhen suddenly felt a little sad and couldn't help but clutch her hands, "Shuya... I heard that your private residence has a large landscaped garden, and I just want to visit it. You can go back to the company first and ask Special Assistant Han to take me there. I can wait for you."
"Nanzhen." Tang Shuya narrowed his eyes, his expression suddenly becoming stern. "Be obedient and go home first."
His voice was still gentle, but it contained an irrefutable strength.
Hu Nanzhen's eyes turned red, and she stammered for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Okay. I'll listen to you."
When they arrived at the place, Hu Nanzhen stood on the side of the road and watched the car go away.
Feelings I had never experienced before, grievance, uneasiness, bitterness, helplessness, swept over me like a tide.
She stood there for a while, staggering forward, when suddenly a woman rushed up to her like crazy.
"Hu Nanzhen!"
Hu Nanzhen paused, frowning in confusion. After a few glances, she recognized the person. "You're not Xu Jia? How dare you show up in front of me?"
Xu Jia no longer had the arrogant look she had that day. Her face was filled with sorrow, her eyes were sunken, and she spoke in a hurried tone, "Hu Nanzhen, no, Miss Hu, I beg you to help me."
After saying that, he bent his knees and was about to kneel down.
Hu Nanzhen held Xu Jia's arm with one hand, snorted and laughed, teasingly saying, "Don't kneel down like that. I can't bear it. Besides, why should I help you? I'm lucky enough not to settle the score with you, so why would I help you?"
"No, no, no, you're the only one who can help me right now." Xu Jia shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face. "Something happened at my house. Several of our partners suddenly stopped working together, and the company's building materials were found to be substandard. I..."
Hu Nanzhen waved her hand and interrupted Xu Jia impatiently, "I don't care what happens to your family. You deserve it!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jia panicked and grabbed Hu Nanzhen's hand, saying hysterically, "How can this not be your fault? It's your fiancé Tang Shuya who's taking revenge on me! And I ended up in this situation because I helped you!"
The expression on Hu Nanzhen's face gradually disappeared, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Jia became complicated and difficult to understand. The seed of doubt that had been lingering in her heart grew again.
"You helped me? What did you help with?"
"I taught that bitch Ling Zhen a lesson for you!" Xu Jia's face was slightly distorted, with a strange fire in her eyes. She muttered, "You've been deceived! You've been deceived by your best friend and fiancé! How could you still be so foolish?"
Hu Nanzhen lowered her eyelashes, slowly clenched her hanging hands, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
……
Ling Zhen sat in the rental house for a while and then received a call from Tang Shuya, saying that he was coming to pick her up.
She thought it would take a while for him to be free, and she didn't know how he got rid of Hu Nanzhen.
About thirty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. She thought it was Tang Shuya, so she didn't think much about it and opened the door directly.
When he saw the people from the outer gate, Ling Yu suddenly stopped and was nailed there as if he was under a spell.
Her expression was like a green leaf hit by frost, losing its original vitality and liveliness overnight.
Hu Nanzhen just glanced at her indifferently and squeezed into the rental house without waiting for Ling Zhen to react.
Ling Yuan was still standing there as if petrified, his limbs suddenly became numb and he had no feeling at all.
Hu Nanzhen seemed to be strolling calmly in the 40-square-meter house, wiping the dust on the TV cabinet with her fingers as she looked around.
She squinted her eyes at the dust that had become as thick as cotton wool on her fingers, her lips curled up slightly, and a sarcastic smile spread across her face. "Ling Zhen, do you really live here? It looks really dirty here, and there's a musty smell. It doesn't look like anyone lives here. Where do you usually live? You don't sleep on the street, do you?"
Her voice and tone were familiar to Ling Zhen, but at this moment, she felt that the voice was extremely strange.
Even the half-joking expression on Hu Nanzhen's face seemed so unfamiliar.
Her face had already turned blue, and she struggled for a long time before she found her voice again. "Nanzhen, why did you come here without telling me in advance?"
Hu Nanzhen snorted a laugh and slowly turned around, staring at Ling Zhen's pale face with an unfathomable gaze. "I'm telling you this in advance so you can clean up and stop lying to me, right?"
Ling Zhen's heart suddenly jumped, and he squeezed out a difficult voice between his lips and teeth, "What do you mean by that..."
Hu Nanzhen's sharp gaze was like a knife, eager to cut through Ling Zhen's innocent face. A cold, heartless smile appeared on her lips. "Ling Zhen, I've known you for so many years, and I had no idea you were such a deceitful person! Is this how you seduced Tang Shuya with this innocent appearance?"
It was clearly a hot summer day, but at that moment, Ling Yuan felt as if he was in the coldest days of winter, shivering with cold. With trembling lips, he asked, "You...you know everything?"
The house was dead silent, with only the summer cicadas outside chirping desperately.
Hu Nanzhen suddenly burst into laughter, until tears began to fall down her cheeks. Her voice was as fierce as a ghost: "Why? I think I have been good to you and have been sincere to you. Why do you treat me like this? Am I not your good friend? Because my man is good, you come to steal him?"
Ling Zhen's heart was in a mess, like a ball of yarn that had been scratched by a cat. His nose felt sore and he almost cried. "No, no, it's not what you think. I never wanted to snatch it from you. Nanzhen, listen to my explanation..."
Hu Nanzhen turned aside in disdain, shaking off Ling Zhen's outstretched hand. Her eyes were filled with cold anger. "Ling Zhen, playing me like a fool is fun? You didn't even think about stealing it, but you did it anyway. Don't you feel hypocritical? Listening to your words, I just feel sick!"
"No wonder you always refuse to tell me where you live when I ask you all the time. No wonder Tang Shuya never touches me, it turns out you've already squeezed me dry!"
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard it so clearly, Ling Zhen's heart still skipped a beat. Tears immediately flowed out, and his throat felt like it was stuck with chewing gum, making it difficult to speak. "Nanzhen, it's really not like that. I never meant to hurt you. I have my reasons..."
"I don't care!" Hu Nanzhen interrupted her loudly, waving her hand. "I am Tang Shuya's legitimate fiancée. Even if Tang Shuya wants to keep you by his side, what does it matter? Like I said before, you're just a nobody!"
Hu Nanzhen slammed the door and left. The loud sound of the door slamming was like a bomb exploding in the quiet room.
Ling Yuan stood there for a long time, then slowly slid down from the doorway and fell to the ground. He curved his lips to smile, but it only brought two lines of tears down his lips. A bitter taste spread in his heart.
