The strategy failed, she came back holding the bottle

Jiang Feng always felt that this man looked down on him because he had more experience than him, and sometimes he could even detect murderous intent in the way he looked at him.

He had no good intentions towards him, not even a normal heart.

Jiang Feng bent down, picked up the water cup on the coffee table and took a sip. His black eyes were sharp and deep. He also wanted to know who would win in the fight between the two. He would also do the same if it was just to cause trouble.

Jiang Feng put down the cup, some ideas gradually came to his mind, and he went to the company to work overtime overnight.

The next day at school, He Nuan asked for leave. Xie Xiao told her about what happened yesterday. He Nuan is now in the hospital taking care of her mother.

"I've never met a mother like this before. He Nuan's life is even harder than we imagined."

Xie Xiao recalled the scene when they went to the hospital yesterday, her mother holding her back and not letting her go, and her stepfather's cursing voice. He felt deeply sorry for He Nuan's pity.

Man Yue raised an eyebrow: "You mean her stepfather is also in the hospital?"

Xie Xiao nodded: "Yes! Her mother broke her arm and stayed in the hospital for one night. She was said to be discharged today, so He Nuan took half a day off and came to class in the afternoon."

Man Yue was a little worried.

"Man Yue, He Nuan won't be here at noon, let's go out for dinner together! I know a newly opened Western restaurant that's quite popular."

Xie Xiao turned around, leaned his elbows on the table under Man Yue, and stared at her with his chin supported.

Man Yue didn't hear clearly, so she took out her phone and sent a message to He Nuan. After a while, she replied and said she would be back for class in the afternoon. Only then did she put away her phone and feel relieved.

Looking up, Xie Xiao pursed his lips and looked at her without blinking. His fine black hair seemed to be shining in the sunlight. He was expectantly waiting for her answer.

Man Yue was puzzled: "What did you just say?"

The expectation on his face disappeared instantly.

At noon, they went to the second cafeteria. Xie Xiao grabbed her plate to get food, while Man Yue sat in her seat and waited.

Xie Xiao is handsome, good at studying, and has good interpersonal relationships. Someone next to him gave him a seat, and he came back after a while.

"Today's chicken legs are delicious, I'll give you mine too."

Man Yue looked at the full bowl of rice on the set meal plate. As expected, boys of this age all have big appetites. She shook her head and refused: "No, you can eat it yourself."

Xie Xiao directly put the chicken leg on her plate: "He Nuan will be back soon."

Man Yue nodded and started eating slowly. After eating, she went to the school’s temporary dormitory to rest for a while.

It was almost time for class in the afternoon, but He Nuan still hadn't returned. She didn't reply to my messages, and no one answered my calls. Something was wrong.

"Could something have gone wrong? I felt uncomfortable seeing his stepfather's ferocious look yesterday." Xie Xiao thought about it and realized that he was even worse than his scumbag dad!

"Do you know where He Nuan's family will live after they move out?" Man Yue asked.

Xie Xiao: "I know. She mentioned it to me when I sent her off. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Yeah." Man Yue didn't deny it: "Let's go and see! Her stepfather is not a good person."

Xie Xiao stood up: "Then I'll go ask Lao Wan for leave."

Ten minutes later, they stopped a car on the roadside. Xie Xiao gave an address and drove for 20 minutes to an ordinary residential area.

Xie Xiao led the way, found the unit door, and took the elevator to the ninth floor.

There are two households on each floor of the house. Xie Xiao tried hard to recall but couldn't remember the door number.

Man Yue knocked on the door. After two knocks, a middle-aged woman opened the door. Seeing them, she asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?"

Man Yue asked: "Why does He Nuan live here? We are her classmates."

"You are looking for the kid across the street, right? You knocked on the wrong door." After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Silence fell in front of the door. Man Yue turned around and Xie Xiao stepped forward: "I'll do it."

Man Yue stood behind him and waited for him to knock for a long time but no one came to open the door. He kept knocking and finally the person inside got impatient and opened the door: "Who is it?"

The person who opened the door was He Nuan's stepfather, the man who had made advances on her at the school gate last time.

Xie Xiao: "Let's look for He Nuan."

"Huh?" The man rolled his eyes and immediately became alert: "What are you doing? She's not at home and has gone out. If you want to find him, go somewhere else."

"Wait a moment." Xie Xiao stood behind her, raised his hand to hold the door that was about to close, and tentatively asked, "He Nuan is not here, so where is Aunt He? I heard that she was discharged from the hospital this morning, and we want to see her."

"No, no, I went out to buy groceries. You guys wait at the door!" The man didn't want to receive them and wanted to close the door immediately.

There was a loud bang from inside the door, and the man's expression changed. Just as he was about to explain, he was kicked away by Man Yue.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell to the ground in pain all over.

Xie Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he rushed in with Man Yue, opened the doors of the two rooms, and saw He Nuan tied to a chair, wearing trousers on the lower body and only a suspender on the upper body.

Seeing them, she made a sobbing sound in her throat, tears of emotion immediately falling down. With something stuck in her mouth, she said incoherently: "Xie Xiao, Manyue, we have to rely on sisters at critical moments! Wuuwuwu!"

Two people went over to help untie the ropes. He Nuan, who had gained her freedom, wanted to hug them and cry, but she held back: "Let's go! That man has evil intentions. I don't want to come back anymore, wuwuwu!"

Man Yue helped her up: "Let's go."

Just as I left the bedroom, a figure came in. Mother He had one hand in a plaster cast and the other holding a bag of vegetables. Seeing the scene in the room, she instantly became angry and went to help the man on the ground:

"Is Lao Guo okay? How did he become like this?"

"He Nuan, are you bringing outsiders to bully us at home?"

The man sat down on the sofa, hiding behind He's mother and looking at He Nuan, with a hint of pride and ruthlessness in his eyes, as if to say, look, the person who can control you is here.

He Nuan glanced at Mother He, pulled out a video from her phone, and held it in front of her: "You never believed what I told you, so I installed a micro surveillance camera in my room. This is what happened in my room when you went to buy groceries. Look at what this man did."

Mother He's throat choked and she turned her head away stiffly: "I won't watch. No matter what he does, he is still your father. Don't hold a grudge like this."

He Nuan directly turned on the play button. This was the reason why she agreed to go home today, to risk her life to help her mother see the true face of the man in front of her. If she continued to be stubborn, she would never care about her.

Even if Mother He didn't want to see it, the scene of the man sneaking into her daughter's room and using force to tie her to a chair still appeared before her eyes.

Something that had been avoided for a long time collapsed and shattered in an instant.

The food in his hand fell to the ground and he gasped for breath.

The man on the sofa looked nonchalant: "What's the big deal?"

After the smug look, there was a snapping sound.

Mother He calmed down briefly, turned around and slapped her, shaking uncontrollably: "How could you... do this to my daughter?"

"Are you still not human?"

The man instantly flew into a rage and wanted to jump up and punch someone, but was held down by Xie Xiao. He continued to curse: "Why are you pretending? Didn't you already know what I did to her, and you didn't let her call the police? Didn't you acquiesce?"

"Shut up." Mother He bent down, picked up the vegetables on the ground and threw them over. The fresh vegetables covered his face and fell down again.

"You beast, I want to divorce you."

"Divorce? Don't be ridiculous. I beat you so hard and you didn't leave. Even with a broken arm, you still bought me groceries and cooked for me. Can you leave me? Don't turn around and kneel down to beg me to forgive you."
