Chapter 91 I Was Wrong

Chapter 91 I Was Wrong


Arc 6 : Romance In The Air

The entire corridor was silent.

Huang Dan stood in place, motionless, his face did not change too much, but his mind was running at high speed, and he decided to wait and see what happened for a while.

No matter how much he thought, he still had to wait for the man in front of him to make a move before he could figure out a way to deal with it.

Nie Wenyuan put the cigarette in his mouth and took a big step. He stretched out an arm, grabbed his nephew’s wrist, pushed him into the bedroom, and stepped in himself.

The door closed behind Nie Wenyuan.

There was a shadow in front of Huang Dan’s eyes, and the smell of tobacco lingered in his nose. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Nie Wenyuan loosened his grip on his nephew’s wrist. He walked over and sat down on a mahogany chair. His eyes were dark, suppressing something, like a leader who is likely to lose his temper at any time.

Huang Dan doesn’t look like a timid little employee.

He is an emotionally reserved person, and it is difficult to find something out of him.

Nie Wenyuan closed his eyes and smoked, that exquisite face with peach blossom eyes, and deep brows, was hidden in the smoke, which made people feel uneasy, and even his upright temperament was blurred. After being manipulated like this, the word decency has also left him, and the haze is closing in on him.

It was so quiet in the bedroom that you could hear a pin drop.

Huang Dan’s center of gravity shifted from left to right, and then from right to left. His mouth was dry, and for the first time in his life, he was less confident in his patience and restraint.

This man was the same as the previous ones, but different at the same time. There were a few more things that seemed to have been copied from him, such as his favorite dishes and similar personalities. It seemed that it was not a coincidence, but a deliberate decision.

The purpose is hard to say, it’s a bit like getting to know him more deeply, and it seems like it’s reminding him of something. Or maybe it’s related to previous experiences, and the man has written down some details? He can’t analyze it thoroughly yet.

Huang Dan’s brows stretched, and he could be sure of one thing, that is, no matter what, he knew that this man would treat him well and give him the best, just like every time in the past.

However, right now Huang Dan needs to give a reason for his behavior in the man’s bedroom, and then resolve Wang Ming’s matter to avoid long nights and dreams.

In the oppressive silence, Nie Wenyuan said expressionlessly, “Why, Jiujiu has to ask you before you would say anything?”

Huang Dan was silent for a while, then walked over to the man, he said firmly, “Jiujiu, you deliberately let me see you go out.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared here so soon, everything was set up by this man, waiting for him to jump in, and he is now trapped.

When did he start becoming suspicious? Huang Dan’s head hurts a little. Recently, he clearly feels that the man trusts him, and they get along very well. Could it be that it’s all fake, and the other party was numbing his nerves, so that he can relax his guard?

Huang Dan asked, “Why?”

Nie Wenyuan gave the answer, “Because Xiao Yu is not well-behaved.”

The corners of Huang Dan’s eyes twitched slightly, and he looked with a strong sense of oppression, “You know everything?”

Nie Wenyuan shook his head at this moment, “Jiujiu is waiting for Xiao Yu to say it himself.”

Huang Dan lowered his eyelids and squeezed his little finger. He told the whole story. In fact, he had wanted to say it for a long time, but the time was not right, and now is not the time, but the arrow is on the string. There is no other way, he can only take a risky move, hoping that the man can trust him once before he completely changes his mind about him, let alone has other thoughts about him.

The trace left by the original owner is not shallow, and it is not so easy to be covered by Huang Dan.

Huang Dan thought to himself that if he couldn’t gain Nie Wenyuan’s trust this time, the situation he would face next would be very difficult. When he had to go to Wang Ming’s place, he would be disabled even if he didn’t die.

Nie Wenyuan flicked the ashes into the ashtray, and there was no emotion in his voice, “So, Wang Ming wants you to get close to Jiujiu, and then find problems in Jiujiu’s working style, and ruin Jiujiu’s reputation?”

Huang Dan nodded.

Nie Wenyuan waved his big hand, and the ashtray was thrown out. It fell to the ground, rolled over, and fell upside down at the nephew’s feet, making a banging sound.

There was a little cigarette ash on Huang Dan’s shoe, but he didn’t care about it, he just stood still with his eyes downcast.

Grandma Wu was sweeping the floor in the corridor, when she heard a noise suddenly. She hurried to the door of the room and shouted inside, “Who? Is it Xiao Yu?”

Across the door, Nie Wenyuan’s voice was very calm, “It’s me.”

Grandma Wu was taken aback when she heard the words. If the voice hadn’t been heard clearly, she would have thought she had heard it wrong, “Wenyuan, didn’t you go out for something? Why are you in the room?”

Nie Wenyuan said, “I forgot to take something.”

Grandma Wu did not doubt that he was there, “Then what happened just now? Did you knock something down? Do you want me to come in and clean it up?”

Nie Wenyuan said no, “I will clean up.”

After hearing this, Grandma Wu stopped continuing the topic. She took the broom and was about to leave. Then she thought about something and came back, “The child is sleeping in the room again. Come back and talk to him. He is young and has nothing to do all day long, it’s not a problem messing around like this, don’t you think?”

Nie Wenyuan hummed lightly and didn’t say anything else.

“Now there is a shortage of people to fight the flood. He can eat, drink, and sleep. He is nestled at home. He might as well go to the dam to carry sandbags. If you want me to say, let him go……”

Grandma Wu outside was nagging for a while, then swept the corridor and went downstairs to do other things. She didn’t know that the brat she didn’t want to see was not sleeping in the room at the moment, but present in the director’s room she was proud of. In the room, He was being criticized and his future was uncertain.

Huang Dan frowned, in order not to disturb him, this man probably didn’t go through the door, but came in through the window, so make sure to catch him on the spot.

The room was filled with the smell of cigarettes. Nie Wenyuan finished one cigarette and lit another. He took a puff of cigarette and asked, “Xiao Yu, tell Jiujiu, did you catch the problem with Jiujiu’s work style?”

Huang Dan said, “I took the money, but I didn’t do anything else.”

He knew that his words had no credibility, but he still had to tell the truth and try his best to gain a relatively favorable position for himself.

The original owner had made a choice when Wang Ming approached him. The road under his feet had already been drawn. Huang Dan had no chance to go back, so he could only go forward, one step at a time.

Huang Dan didn’t look at the man. Given his status, he would have known that someone in T City was eyeing him, wanting to move him down and make him unable to stand upright for the rest of his life, or even kneel down to be his grandson.

The man learned that his little nephew had hooked up with Wang Ming, and was secretly plotting to sell his Jiujiu for 20,000 yuan. The two successfully reached a deal of money and benefits, and each getting what is needed. He remained calm, but there was definitely a storm in his heart.

Nie Wenyuan asked, “Did you personally receive the 10,000 yuan?”

Huang Dan, “Yes.”

Nie Wenyuan asked again, “Tell Jiujiu, was it Wang Ming who forced you to take the 10,000 yuan?”

Huang Dan shook his head, “No.”

The atmosphere in the room became even more tense, and Huang Dan felt damp in his heart. He had to be more honest and couldn’t make the lies snowball, otherwise he would be crushed to death by the snowball.

Nie Wenyuan waved, “Come to Jiujiu.”

Huang Dan realized that the man now appeared dangerous, but he still cooperated and walked over, standing only two or three inches away from the man.

Nie Wenyuan stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, his tall and straight body stretched out, a power emanating from him, he pinched his nephew’s neck and lifted him up. It’s even slender than what’s seen with the eyes. Just pinch it between fingers and he can feel every beat of the main artery on the side of neck. It’s so fragile that it’s vulnerable.

Huang Dan didn’t struggle, he could sense bloodthirst from this man, which was not suited to a director in a factory.

The veins on his neck protruded, and Huang Dan recalled some bits and pieces of information, including the workers in the factory, including the director’s fear of this man, and Wang Ming’s caution every time he mentioned the man.

Wang Ming once said that once this man fell down, he didn’t know how many people would rush up to him, wanting to take a bite of his meat.

Huang Dan didn’t have time to think anymore, the lack of oxygen brought him a strong sense of dizziness, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his temples were wet with sweat, his face began to turn purple, and so did his lips.

“Jiu…… Jiujiu…… I…… hurt……”

The voice was weak and breathed death. Nie Wenyuan’s pupils shrink inwards. He shook the fingers holding his nephew’s neck and withdrew the strength between his fingers. The next moment, he lifted the nephew to the table and pulled down his pants and slap three times on the butts.

The force became heavier each time, and Huang Dan was stunned. When the pain surged up, he curled up in pain and whimpered in his throat.

Nie Wenyuan’s hand was even heavier.

Huang Dan was trembling from the beating, he cried out in pain, begging for mercy, “I was wrong…… Jiujiu, I was wrong……don’t hit me……”

Nie Wenyuan continued to hit without stopping, his teeth made a deep mark on the cigarette, and his face was extremely stern.

A pinch of ash fell down, and it happened to land on Huang Dan’s swollen butts. He almost jumped up in pain, and cried even worse, with snot and tears all over his face on the table.

Huang Dan kept yelling that he was wrong, and eventually his voice became hoarse.

The crisp sound in the room lasted for more than ten minutes. Nie Wenyuan’s right hand kept shaking. He pressed it hard with his left hand, but it was still shaking.

There were big red palm prints on nephew’s white butts, which were also swollen. Nie Wenyuan pulled up his nephew’s pants and sat back on the chair. His thin lips were pursed tightly and his brows were furrowed, but his whole persona looked a little dazed.

I have never beaten any junior before, but this time I beat him up.

Given the seriousness of this matter, there are many ways to teach him a lesson, and he will definitely be punished severely. None of them are just spankings, which is a method of dealing with naughty children. It is childish and has little effect.

Nie Wenyuan would definitely not carry out such a meaningless move, but he did do it just now, while he was sober.

After hitting the person, his hand was shaking. Nie Wenyuan stared at his right hand. Whether he was shooting a gun, holding a knife, holding a pen, or holding chopsticks, he had never experienced such a panic-like situation. He fell into deep thought.

Time passed by, and Nie Wenyuan couldn’t figure it out. It seemed that he had kicked a big stone slab and he couldn’t walk over without moving it away.

Huang Dan was lying on the table crying, his shoulders twitching. He just cried silently, and didn’t speak.

Nie Wenyuan opened the cigarette that stuck to his lips, took two puffs and then dropped it on the ground. He felt irritable for the first time in his life. After unbuttoning the top button of his shirt, he still felt stuffy, so he unbuttoned two more buttons, revealing the protruding Adam’s apple, and the slender neck, the rigor dissipated a little, and it became a little more humane.

“Stop crying.”

The person on the table was still crying, his face was buried in his arms, his black hair was hanging down, and his red ears were faintly visible. He was crying so hard that his blood was gushing up.

Nie Wenyuan gaze looked down uncontrollably and caught a pinch mark on his nephew’s neck. His forehead twitched and was almost invisible when it moved, “Don’t cry anymore.”

Huang Dan didn’t obey. His neck didn’t hurt much anymore, but his buttocks hurt so much that he didn’t dare to touch it. Only the fabric of his pants rubbed slightly, which made him gasp in pain.

Nie Wenyuan lit the third cigarette after entering the room, “You don’t listen to Jiujiu anymore, do you?”

Huang Dan wiped his tears on his arm, which was wet.

Nie Wenyuan’s voice was extremely low, “If you do something wrong, you will be punished.”

Huang Dan sobbed, “I didn’t betray Jiujiu.”

“Quibble.”

Nie Wenyuan puffed, and his tone was very light, which meant that he was angry, “Xiao Yu, you shouldn’t get involved with Wang Ming, let alone accept his money.”

Huang Dan said, “But I didn’t do what he said.”

Hearing this, Nie Wenyuan chuckled, it was a real smile, the curve of his lips was obvious but terrifying, “If you had done that, you wouldn’t be able to talk to Jiujiu properly now, understand?”

Huang Dan pursed his lips and said, “I don’t feel well.”

The coldness in Nie Wenyuan’s eyes was obscured by the smoke, “There used to be a guy just like you. Jiujiu didn’t spank him, but just broke one of his legs.”

Huang Dan stopped talking.

Nie Wenyuan’s expression suddenly became lazy, “Come down.”

Huang Dan came down from the table, and during that period, his butts hurt so much that tears streamed down his face, he wiped his face, his hands were full of tears, “Jiujiu, do you believe me?”

Nie Wenyuan didn’t answer, but asked, “Tell Jiujiu first, why did you put the money in this room?”

Huang Dan cried and said, “The most dangerous place is the safest place.”

Nie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows lightly, “You said the money was gone?”

Huang Dan wiped his face again, his hands were wet, and so was his face. After wiping it didn’t wipe off. “Yes, it’s gone. I’ve confirmed it. I know that Jiujiu didn’t take the money.”

Nie Wenyuan blew out a cloud of smoke and said, “Go on.”

Huang Dan said, “Grandma Wu probably won’t mess with Jiujiu’s things, and aunt is busy taking care of BiaoJie, so she won’t walk around. Only Quanwu Shushu has been here these days.”

Nie Wenyuan’s eyelids were half drooped, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Huang Dan mentioned Liu Quanwu, he naturally told the man his inner thoughts and speculations, hoping to get clues through the other party’s methods.

The voices in the room stopped, and Huang Dan licked his salty lips, “Jiujiu, are you listening to me?”

Nie Wenyuan said, “Listening.”

Huang Dan said seriously, “Jiujiu, I’m not just thinking about it. Quanwu Shushu has been gambling all these years. He needs money and has opportunities.”

Nie Wenyuan raised his eyelids, there was a deep understanding there, and but couldn’t see anything

Huang Dan said, “As for Quanwu Shushu’s failure to quit gambling, I overheard it from a boss. If you don’t believe it, you can go and investigate.”

Nie Wenyuan asked, “Who?”

Huang Dan knew that the man was asking about the boss, “Now he has washed his hands of money.”

Nie Wenyuan used a declarative tone, “You are covering your friend.”

What Huang Dan wanted to explain was that he wasn’t covering up, the original owner didn’t know the other party’s real name, he only knew that he was called San Ge, but after he noticed the extra emotion in the man’s eyes, he chose to acquiesce.

“The money is missing. How are you going to pay Wang Ming?”

Nie Wenyuan flicked cigarette ash directly on the floor, a bit rude, completely different from his usual style of dealing with things, “Based on Jiujiu’s understanding about him, he will skin you. Of course, you still have a chance, as long as you complete his instruction, not only will you be fine, but you will also get another ten thousand.”

Huang Dan squatted down, put his hands on the man’s legs, and said in a submissive manner, “Jiujiu, I won’t do anything to make you unhappy.”

Nie Wenyuan said, “You have already done it.”

Huang Dan’s face twitched, leaving a tear on the man’s pants, “It won’t happen in the future, I promise.”

Nie Wenyuan smoked a cigarette, “Let Jiujiu think about it, how much is the worth of Xiao Yu’s promise?”

“……”

Huang Dan knew that man can be unforgiving, and this has never changed. He raised his head and said, “Jiujiu doesn’t believe, then let me prove it to him.”

Nie Wenyuan pinched his little nephew’s face, exerting force with his fingertips.

Huang Dan didn’t pay attention and sat down on the ground. He took a breath of pain and said in a hoarse voice, “Jiujiu, I really don’t dare to do that anymore. I will be good and obedient. Don’t be angry with me. “

Nie Wenyuan remained indifferent, “Does it hurt?”

Huang Dan nodded, tears falling on the man’s hand, “Umm.”

Nie Wenyuan’s strength didn’t weaken, “Then remember it for Jiujiu, it should not be repeated.”

Huang Dan nodded quickly. He found that Wang Ming knew this man very well, and his comments were very appropriate. Under the mask were all the things he was familiar with, “Jiujiu, what should I do about this matter?”

Nie Wenyuan withdrew his hand and wiped off the water stains with a handkerchief, “You don’t have to worry about it.”

Huang Dan wiped his tears and said, “Wang Ming will find someone else.”

Nie Wenyuan threw the handkerchief on the table, “He has no chance.”

Huang Dan was worried, “What if?”

Nie Wenyuan’s posture was calm and unhurried, “Jiujiu will have a solution when the time comes.”

He glanced at the little nephew in front of him and raised his hand.

Huang Dan hugged his head reflexively.

Nie Wenyuan was taken aback, and his eyes darkened, “Since you were afraid of Jiujiu, why did you dare to accept money from Wang Ming and join with him in the idea of striking Jiujiu?”

Huang Dan said, “I won’t do that in the future.”

Nie Wenyuan said, “If the other party gives you not 10,000, but 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, a house, a car, as long as you mention, your needs will be met. How can you be so sure?”

Huang Dan said he was sure, “Jiujiu, you have to believe me.”

Nie Wenyuan patted his nephew’s hair and said, “Go wash your face, take off your pants and lie on the bed, and Jiujiu will apply medicine on you.”

Huang Dan did as he was told, but when the medicine was applied, he was almost in pain. It wasn’t until a cold feeling swept over him that he felt better.

Nie Wenyuan stood up straight, looking condescendingly at the lying motionless person, he rubbed his temples, but still couldn’t understand his behavior of spanking the butts, he had the illusion of being possessed.

Nie Wenyuan didn’t go out in the morning. He made a phone call every now and then. God knew who he was negotiating with, and his face was expressionless.

Grandma Wu not only watched Nie Wenyuan grow up, but also took care of him. Knowing that he was in a bad mood at the moment, she locked the door on her mouth, and refrained from nagging, and just brought a glass of water and some fruit, consideration for him like every day and year in the past.

Nie Wenyuan left without having lunch. When he left, he told Grandma Wu not to go to his room.

Grandma Wu didn’t understand, so she said, “What’s wrong? What’s in your room?”

Nie Wenyuan put on his rubber boots, and walked towards the gate with the bag containing the leather shoes in his hand, “Xiao Yu is sleeping inside.”

Grandma Wu’s eyes widened, and she chased after him, her old voice filled with shock, “What did you say, that brat is in your room?”

Nie Wenyuan kept walking, “Yeah.”

Grandma Wu shouted loudly, “Wenyuan, wait a minute, we haven’t finished talking yet——”

People have gone far.

Grandma Wu threw away the rag in her hand, stomped upstairs, and went straight to Nie Wenyuan’s room. Without saying a word, she knocked on the door.

Huang Dan had locked the door a long time ago. When he heard the knock on the door, he covered his head with the quilt and continued to sleep on his stomach. His buttocks are still swollen and he doesn’t want to do anything. He doesn’t even have the strength to talk to the old lady.

Grandma Wu was angry outside the door. She beat her chest and tried to reason with Nie Xiuqin.

Nie Xiuqin was worried about her daughter’s condition. She had no intention of listening to Grandma Wu’s nagging. She was in a daze and gave responses such as “Really?” “Is that so?” “Oh” and “Probably”.

Grandma Wu found out sadly that she was really old and others find it annoying to listen to her talk. What should she do now……

At around nine o’clock that night, Nie Wenyuan came back.

Grandma Wu has a habit. She won’t sleep until Nie Wenyuan comes back, and she doesn’t feel at ease. It was the same when she was in W City. She understands that a big tree attracts wind.

“Wenyuan, have you eaten?”

Nie Wenyuan said he had eaten, “There’s nothing going at home?”

Grandma Wu said to put the shoes on the floor against the wall for him, “I would have called you if anything happened.”

Nie Wenyuan stepped upstairs.

Grandma Wu said behind him, “That kid is still in your room.”

Nie Wenyuan paused, turned around, and asked, “Xiao Yu haven’t eaten two meals?”

Grandma Wu shrank her neck, as if she was a bad old lady who deliberately refused to feed people and wanted to starve them to death, “I knocked on the door and he ignored me. Who can be blamed?”

As she spoke, she became angry again, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were trembling, “I am very old, knock on the door several times a day, and run upstairs and downstairs, but he was so good that he didn’t even fart!”

Nie Wenyuan said, “Just warm up if there is anything in the kitchen for him, and I’ll come down and get it later.”

Grandma Wu looked in disbelief. She picked up the rag from downstairs, wiped the table hard, and threw it away vigorously, “A young man who is almost 20 years old. He will get married and have children in two years. He is not a little baby who likes to brag but not eat. Who cares what he does!”

Having said that, Grandma Wu went to heat up the food. She served it herself without calling anyone.

The door was closed, and Grandma Wu could go in directly, but she knew that she had raised a child, and some rules in this house could not be changed. She knocked on the door and went in after hearing a response.

Nie Wenyuan was applying medicine to Huang Dan, but it scared Grandma Wu too, her hands shaking while holding the food.

“Mama Wu, don’t spill the food.”

Grandma Wu gathered herself together, “Wenyuan, what’s going on?”

Nie Wenyuan said, “I did it.”

Grandma Wu thought, yes! This brat is lawless and needs a lesson. If he had been taught a lesson early, he might not have committed any crime and had to go to a forced labor camp.

She looked at the person applying the medicine who seemed to be interested in the Nie family’s Jie Mei and their children. In fact, he didn’t care. Even if it is education, it is just a few casual remarks without taking it seriously.

She was surprised that this time hand was raised on this brat.

Huang Dan took in the changes in the old woman’s expression. If she knew the truth, she would definitely hit him with a mallet.

The steaming food was moved from Grandma Wu’s hands to the table, but she didn’t leave, “Wenyuan, you go and do your business. Xiao Yu come here, I’ll do it.”

Huang Dan’s butt trembled, “No need, I can do it myself.”

Grandma Wu didn’t believe his words, “If you can do it yourself, why didn’t you do it yourself, and make your Jiujiu come back so late without even drinking a mouthful of water?”

Huang Dan didn’t want to ask Nie Wenyuan to apply medicine to him. The other party had never done this kind of work and was very unfamiliar, so his strength control was very poor, which would make him hurt.

But Nie Wenyuan was a resolute person and would not allow anyone to go against his wishes.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Grandma Wu still didn’t leave. She just sat on the chair, her face covered with age spots was stern, and her eyes were staring at the young man lying on the bed.

Huang Dan felt that if he were a woman, in the eyes of Grandma Wu, he would be a vixen who brought disaster to the country and the people, trying to seduce her Nie Wenyuan, which was terrible.

Fortunately, he is a man.

When Huang Dan was eating, Grandma Wu was still there. He was stared at and felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t finish a bowl of rice. However, he had developed the habit of eating as much as there was in the bowl, so he still managed to eat a little bit.

When Huang Dan put down the bowl and chopsticks, his stomach ached.

Grandma Wu thought he was being picky, “I think back then when there was a famine, we had no leftover food to eat. We could only chew tree bark and dig wild vegetables over the mountains and ridges. You people of this generation have just made it your own way. You can’t bear the slightest hardship. You will die or live if you suffer a bit.”

Huang Dan said, “It was bitter at that time.”

Grandma Wu was waiting for this brat to play tricks on her, but she didn’t expect that he actually agreed and pretended to be understanding. She had nothing to say, so she had to hold her breath and put away the bowl and chopsticks and go out.

Huang Dan said, “Jiujiu, I’m going to bed. Good night.”

He remembered something that he had missed, “How are things with Wang Ming? Did Jiujiu go to see him this afternoon?”

Nie Wenyuan sat at the table and smoked, “Solved.”

Huang Dan was stunned, so fast? It didn’t look like the man was joking, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

The venue of the cultural performance was changed to W City.

The day before, Nie Wenyuan arranged a car to take Nie Youxiang and his family out of the city. He had several people in his car, including Zhou Weiwei.

Nie Xiuqin held her daughter’s hand as soon as she got in the car, “I told Xiaowei about Xiaorou’s performance, and she ran outside.”

She sighed softly, “She still likes to dance.”

Grandma Wu said, “If nothing like that happened, Xiaowei would have performed on the big stage today.”

Nie Xiuqin nodded. She held her daughter’s hand tightly, her eyes turning red.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit stuffy.

Huang Dan opened the window, and the wind blew in. Not only was it damp, but there was also a smell of muddy water. He stuck his head out and looked at the accumulated water on the ground. No wonder it changed the location to City W. The damage there should be very light.

When they got there, someone politely took Nie Wenyuan and his party into the hotel, and properly arranged food and accommodation.

Zhou Weiwei didn’t speak a word all the way, resting her head on her mother’s arms, like an insecure baby who was very wary of people and things outside.

As soon as Nie Xiuqin gave her daughter a bath, someone came to visit.

It was Nie Youxiang, mother and daughter who came.

Chen Xiaorou still has that gentle and dignified look, her long hair is both straight and black, she has a good temperament, and she is also very polite, “Auntie, you guys are here, why don’t you say a word to us?”

Nie Xiuqin said, “It was decided at the last moment.”

Chen Xiaorou looked inside, “Where’s Xiaowei? Asleep?”

Nie Xiuqin nodded, “Just fell asleep.”

Chen Xiaorou sighed, “I haven’t seen Xiaowei since that accident. I miss her. I don’t know when she will be able to dance with me like before.”

Nie Xiuqin choked up slightly.

Nie Youxiang comforted her, “Xiaowei will get better. Don’t worry too much. You look so thin. If our parents were still alive, they wouldn’t recognize you.”

Chen Xiaorou said with concern, “Yes, Auntie, you have lost a lot of weight, you need to pay more attention to your body. Only when you are well can Xiaowei rest assured.”

She brushed a strand of hair from her cheeks back to her shoulders, “If there is anything that needs us, auntie just has to say, when the performance is over, I can take care of Xiaowei if I have time.”

Huang Dan at the corner heard it and moved his brows.

In the event that there is something wrong with Chen Xiaorou, and that her acting skills are not very stable, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Thus it will help him.

There was an accident on the day of the show.

At that time, Chen Xiaorou was performing a dance on the stage. Zhou Weiwei, who was favored by Nie Wenyuan’s cognate and was also placed in the front row, suddenly rushed to the stage.

This scene happened so suddenly that no one could react. When someone tried to stop her, Chen Xiaorou had already been thrown to the ground by Zhou Weiwei, with several scratches on her face.

Chen Xiaorou’s dance performance was forced to stop, and she ran out crying.

Everyone couldn’t help sighing, but they also felt that it was a pity. If nothing happened, with Chen Xiaorou’s dance foundation, her appearance and temperament, and her good form in the art troupe, she would at least win the third rank achievement.

Now it’s all gone.

All the time and efforts Chen Xiaorou spent preparing for the performance were in vain.

Fang Fang witnessed the whole process in the background. She was laughing so hard in her heart but she asked nervously, “Xiaorou, are you okay? The scratches on your face are not light. You need to apply medicine as soon as possible. It won’t be good if it leaves scars.”

Chen Xiaorou looked disgusted, “Stop being hypocritical!”

Fang Fang’s face changed slightly, and she said angrily, “What are you talking about? We are comrades-in-arms, compatriots, Jiemei, and have the same dream. We all want to dance on the biggest stage in the world.”

She sighed, “You have this face, ai, Xiao Wei too. Why did you get scratches like this? Isn’t she crazy? Can one recognize others if they are crazy?”

“It’s strange. Nothing happened when others were performing. Xiaorou, tell me, did Xiaowei mistake you for someone else? Look at your face, she didn’t show any mercy when she scratched you.”

Chen Xiaorou closed her eyes, she didn’t have the strength to talk to Fang Fang, she hated Zhou Weiwei to death.

When this happened, Chen Xiaorou didn’t want to stay any longer. She didn’t want to be sympathized, ridiculed, and falsely comforted by other members of the group, so she went back to T City accompanied by Nie Youxiang and Chen Fei.

They didn’t even inform Nie Wenyuan.

Nie Wenyuan’s car went back behind. As soon as they returned, Zhou Weiwei was sent to the hospital. She needed medical treatment.

The hospital is guarded by Nie Wenyuan’s people, so there won’t be any problems.

Nie Xiuqin stayed in the hospital for a while, then rode a bicycle to find her Jie and explain what happened today, “Jie, I really didn’t know such a thing would happen. I……”

Nie Youxiang interrupted her, “If your Xiaowei has something wrong with her brain, she should stay at home. What are you going out for? You took her there, so you know what you have in your heart.”

Nie Xiuqin panicked, “I didn’t have any thoughts. Xiaowei reacted to dancing. She wanted to go, so I took her there. Jie, I really didn’t expect this to happen.”

She blamed herself and said, “Xiaorou must have felt uncomfortable when something unexpected happened during her performance. Jie, can I go see her?”

Nie Youxiang was very emotional, “Don’t call me Jie, I don’t have a Meimei like you!”

Nie Xiuqin’s face paled, “Jie, don’t say that.”

Nie Youxiang sneered, “Nie Xiuqin, now your daughter has ruined my daughter’s future.”

Nie Xiuqin’s face turned completely pale, and she explained in a panic.

Nie Youxiang didn’t listen, and pointed at the door, “Go away, I don’t want to see you, and don’t come here again.”

Nie Xiuqin whispered, “I’m sorry.”

She didn’t shed tears, but her face looked like she was about to cry. “Xiaowei is fine most of the time. She only feels stimulated……”

Nie Youxiang interrupted loudly, and she stood up immediately, half a head taller than Nie Xiuqin, “What do you mean by what you said, did Xiaorou stimulate your family’s Xiaowei and make her go crazy? Nie Xiuqin, I really didn’t expect you to have the ability to confuse right and wrong!”

Her tone became mean, “Why hasn’t this happened to others, but your daughter? If I were you, I would close the door and think carefully about whether I have educated her well over the years!”

Nie Xiuqin stared at her Jiejie, speechless for a long time.

Nie Youxiang heard the sound of the door slamming and knew that Meimei was really angry. It’s not that she doesn’t know that what she said was a bit unpleasant, but this time it was her daughter who was unlucky.

It was originally a very happy thing, but why……

Nie Youxiang smashed all the teapots on the table, she went upstairs, “Xiaorou.”

The only sound in the room was Chen Xiaorou’s crying.

Nie Youxiang called her eldest son over, “Xiao Fei, your Meimei is crying very sadly. You think of a way to go to the room and have a look. I’m afraid she will take things too hard.”

Chen Fei smiled wryly, “Mom, Meimei has only one window in her room, which opens to the yard. I can’t go up without a ladder, and her window is closed, so we can’t do anything.”

When Nie Youxiang heard this, she became even more anxious, “What should we do?”

Chen Fei said there was nothing he could do, and he would wait until his Meimei calmed down before saying, “Auntie knows Xiaowei’s situation, why did she take her out?”

Nie Youxiang had just quarreled with her Meimei, so she didn’t discuss it with her eldest son again, “Where is Xiao Yu?”

Chen Fei said, “Maybe comforting Xiaowei.”

Nie Youxiang’s face darkened, “Who is his real Jie?”

Chen Fei said, “Mom, it’s not that you don’t know that he lives with Jiujiu, and aunt’s family is also there. They get along very well. Aunt praised him before, this is what you told me.”

Nie Youxiang’s tone was firm, “Go and bring him back to me.”

Seeing that her eldest son didn’t respond, she stretched out her hand and touched his arm, “Go quickly!”

When Chen Fei went over, Nie Wenyuan was not at home. He asked Grandma Wu and found out that Zhou Weiwei was in the hospital and had not returned yet, “Where’s Auntie?”

Grandma Wu pouted upstairs. She was about to speak when someone came down.

Nie Xiuqin held the cloth bag in her hand and planned to bring some change of clothes to the hospital to accompany her daughter. She did not expect to see her nephew at this time.

Chen Fei quickly stood up from the sofa, “Auntie, are you going to see Xiaowei?”

Nie Xiuqin walked down the stairs, “Yes.”

Chen Fei asked worriedly, “Is she alright? Is she okay? What did the doctor say?”

A series of questions made Nie Xiuqin stunned. She looked at her nephew and said, “Xiao Fei, Xiaowei has a tremendous responsibility for this matter. Auntie didn’t expect you to make a special trip for her.”

Chen Fei said generally, “I know Xiaowei didn’t mean it.”

Nie Xiuqin squeezed the cloth bag in hand and said, “Xiao Fei, your mom there……”

Chen Fei said, “Don’t worry, my mother has been looking forward to Xiaorou’s performance for a long time. She has talked to many people and everyone is waiting to hold a banquet to celebrate. She can’t accept it all of a sudden. I will have a nice talk with her.”

He showed a helpless expression, “Auntie, you also know that in my mother’s heart, Xiaorou is her pride. She was not allowed to do anything since she was a child, just to train her properly.”

Nie Xiuqin shed tears.

Grandma Wu interjected, “Okay, okay, Xiao Fei, don’t talk about it, it will make your auntie sad, no one wants this to happen.”

Chen Fei rubbed his eyes, “Grandma said so.”

After Nie Xiuqin left, Grandma Wu pulled Chen Fei and asked him about this and that, and gave him a few hundred yuan.

Chen Fei said that he can’t accept it, “Grandma, this money was given by Jiuijiu for your retirement. If Jiujiu finds out, he will be angry.”

Grandma Wu said, “Your Jiujiu gave this money to me, so that is mine. I can give it to whoever I want. You can take the money at ease and buy yourself good clothes. You are a working person. You can’t dress too casually. Otherwise the leaders will have opinions after looking at it.”

Chen Fei said, “I haven’t started working yet.”

Grandma Wu frowned, “Why haven’t you got a job yet? Didn’t your Jiujiu get it done for you?”

Chen Fei shook his head, “Jiujiu asked me to keep my feet on the ground and learn more experience from the grassroots level.”

Grandma Wu said, “You are a college student and still have to start from the grassroots level? wait for your Jiujiu to come back, I will ask for you.”

Chen Fei peeled the peanuts and gave them to the elderly, “Grandma, don’t ask, I’m afraid Jiujiu will be unhappy.”

Grandma Wu ate the peanuts and patted his hand, “Don’t be afraid, grandma is well aware of the situation. No matter how majestic your Jiujiu is, he will never be serious with grandma.”

Chen Fei peeled peanuts for the old lady, squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs. He did it a lot and was very skilled.

Grandma Wu said, “Why don’t you move over, if you come, grandma will live for several more years.”

Chen Fei made an expression that he just remembered, “Grandma, is Xiao Yu here?”

Grandma Wu said yes, and she pointed to the second room, “Sleep when come back, eat and sleep, eat after sleep, no different from a pig.”

Chen Fei smiled and said, “He is a little lazy.”

Grandma Wu looked disgusted at the mere mention of it.

Huang Dan’s door was patted, he put on a T-shirt to open the door, and saw the expected person, “Ge.”

Chen Fei said, “Come out with me.”

Huang Dan closed the door, nodded and greeted Grandma Wu, “Grandma, I’ll go out with my Ge for a while.”

Grandma Wu didn’t look at Huang Dan but looked at Chen Fei, her eyes were full of kindness, “Xiao Fei, stay at night, grandma will make braised pork for you.”

Huang Dan,“……”

Chen Fei didn’t have an appetite, so he rejected Grandma Wu. He was very skillful in his refusal, saying that he was worried about his Meimei’s situation. He wanted to go back and watch, fearing that something might happen to her.

When Grandma Wu heard this, she looked at Chen Fei even more lovingly.

Huang Dan shook his head in his heart, he didn’t say anything, and what he said was in vain. The old lady’s impression of the original owner had already taken root and could not be shaken.

Chen Fei didn’t go far and was in the woods behind the house. “Such a big thing happened to your Jiejie. Why didn’t you go back to see her?”

Huang Dan said, “Jie is in a bad mood now, and she won’t see me either when I go back.”

Chen Fei frowned, “Whether she sees you or not and whether you go back are two different things. This is a matter of your attitude. Chen Yu, don’t forget who your family is.”

Huang Dan said, “I’ll go back later.”

Chen Fei’s voice was high, “Still going late? I heard from grandma that every day you eat and sleep then eat after waking up, and you have nothing to do, so why can’t you go back with me now?”

Huang Dan said, “Jiujiu hasn’t come back yet, I want to greet him.”

Chen Fei had a shitty expression on his face, “Chen Yu, you don’t take your Ge’s words seriously now because you have Jiujiu’s backing, do you?”

Huang Dan said, “I didn’t.”

He said to himself, even without the support of Jiujiu, your Didi will not take your words seriously.

In Chen Fei’s eyes, his Didi was just showing off like this. He was feeling depressed and anxious these days, and he didn’t dare to show it. He thought that several of his classmates had found satisfactory jobs and told him more than once that his Jiujiu is Nie Wenyuan and there would definitely be a better way out.

Neighbors would ask him every now and then how his job is going, whether he has found it. They say that you are good at studying and have graduated from college, so it will be fine, and your Jiujiu will make arrangements for you.

Turns out his Jiujiu didn’t care at all!

Prevaricating with those big reasons means that he does not take his nephew seriously.

The more Chen Fei thought about it, the angrier he became. His frustration and helplessness made him lose his mind. When he thought about the special treatment Didi received from Jiujiu, he punched him.

Caught off guard, Huang Dan was hit on the bridge of the nose, and a stream of hot blood flowed out. He covered his nose and squatted on the ground.

Chen Fei gasped, and stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to lift the person up, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and the color on his face immediately faded, “Jiujiu, I……”

The figure came this way, but Chen Fei’s tongue refused to obey and he stepped back. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward to meet him, intending to seize the opportunity and win the initiative for himself.

“I asked Xiao Yu to go home with me, but he didn’t listen……”

Nie Wenyuan pushed Chen Fei away and kicked him, “Chen Fei, you shouldn’t have done anything to your Didi.”

Chen Fei was kicked to the ground and wanted to get up. Hearing the sound, he didn’t dare to move again.

One response to “Chapter 91 I Was Wrong”

    Thanks for continuing to translate this novel!! It’s one of my favorites. I really suspect that Chen Xiaorong and Chen Fei did this to Xiaowei, or at least hold partial responsibility–I was really seething at their mother’s behavior. Not only can she say such a heartless and cruel thing to her own sister about her own niece, but she can raise all her children to be selfish and narrowminded?? Like 1 in 3 children (maybe even 2 out of 3) being shitty is just down to personality, but 3 out of 3 (before Huang Dan’s arrival)????? C’mon, that has got to have so much to do with parental education. No wonder her younger brother won’t help her out. It’s not like she or her kids would be grateful.

    On another note, Huang Dan’s emotional inner world becomes richer and richer each instance. And as we get farther along in the story, the more suspicious I become of both the housekeeper and that one classmate. There’s something to be said for these transmigrations to be happening in succession to delay Huang Dan’s arrival at the reunion..
