The Poisoned Neighbor Reborn
Reborn after being poisoned by her delusional neighbor, a woman gets a second chance to expose the truth and prevent the tragedy that claimed her life.
The Poisoned Neighbor Reborn
I had cared for my neighbor Auntie Qin for three years, but she secretly put paraquat in my takeout food.
I collapsed on the ground, twitching from the poison, and painfully asked her: "Why?"
Her face turned vicious as she roared: "How dare you cheat behind my son's back! A bitch like you deserves to die."
When the police arrived, she covered her face and cried, saying I was heartbroken over my fiancé's death and had committed suicide, even forging a suicide note to seize my house.
But I had been single for thirty years before I started dating—I didn't even know her son!
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day she first moved in.
Chapter 1
The doorbell rang many times. I suppressed my racing heart and slowly opened the door.
What met my eyes was a face full of smiles.
It was my neighbor Auntie Qin, who had poisoned me with paraquat in my previous life.
At this moment, she was carrying a burlap bag covered in mud, wanting to give me the sweet potatoes she brought from the countryside.
"I knew someone was home. Why did you take so long to open the door, girl?"
She craned her neck, peeking behind me, her gaze wandering.
Talking to herself, she said: "Where are your family members? Let me see who my new neighbors are."
I resisted and stepped back a few paces, avoiding her touch.
Reunited in this second life, I was both shocked and fortunate, clenching my trembling fists.
My throat still had that burning sensation of suffocation.
But she was completely fine.
In my previous life, just like now, she used worthless things to try to win me over.
I had goodwill in my heart and was deceived by her appearance.
Out of pity for her age and living alone, I began caring for her for three years.
I carried rice and bought groceries for her, and paid to fix her broken refrigerator.
Even when I got a new sofa, I gave her the massage chair that came with it.
And when she saw me bring my boyfriend home, her face turned iron-gray.
At the time, I thought she was worried I was making bad friends.
But I never imagined she had inexplicably decided I was her future daughter-in-law.
My kindness brought disaster upon myself, and I ultimately died from paraquat poisoning.
Thinking of this, my face grew cold.
I kicked away the burlap bag she thrust at me, pinched my nose and waved my hand in the air.
"What's that strange smell? It stinks."
Auntie Qin's face stiffened as she put away her smiling expression.
Her narrow eyes darkened and unclear.
Worried she would harass me again, I glared back at her.
I put on the fiercest expression I had in either lifetime and said coldly:
"I don't know you, and I don't want to know you. Please stay away from me in the future."
After speaking, I grabbed the umbrella by the door and pushed her out.
The moment the door closed, I weakly slid to the floor, exhaling a long breath.
I don't want to experience the nightmare of my previous life again.
I only got a boyfriend at thirty—my life was just beginning.
But I hadn't calmed down for five minutes when there was another fierce knocking at the door.
"Open the door quickly! Open the door!"
A fierce man's voice came through.
My heart skipped a beat—who could it be?
Chapter 2
I had never seen Auntie Qin's son and never understood why she was so certain I was her future daughter-in-law.
Could it be that her son was always around me, but I didn't know?
Because I didn't accept Auntie Qin this lifetime like I did in my previous life, her son came looking for trouble?
I grew nervous again, afraid I might lose my life again at any moment.
It wasn't until I saw through the peephole a security guard wearing our complex's uniform that I relaxed.
I carefully opened the door and saw a gaunt figure sitting behind the security guard.
Auntie Qin looked bitter as she hugged her leg, letting out weak groans.
The security guard spoke righteously, saying he had received a complaint that I had maliciously pushed Auntie Qin down.
Now she had sprained her ankle, and as a lonely elderly person, she had difficulty moving around.
From now on, I would have to be responsible for caring for her.
Me: "..."
Of course, I was unwilling.
Auntie Qin seemed determined to latch onto me. After I refused, her "aiyo" cries grew even louder.
Unwilling to argue with her further, I offered to give her money to hire someone to care for her.
Auntie Qin pouted her lips and muttered to me:
"Girl, don't waste that money.
"I've already found out that your parents died early. You're also a pitiful child.
"From now on, just treat me as your mother. I won't blame you."
She spoke as if it were her due, leaving me stunned.
In my previous life, she had also naturally said I was her daughter-in-law.
This lifetime, she skipped straight to wanting to be my mother.
I laughed angrily—truly shameless to the extreme.
We lived in an old residential complex with walk-up apartments.
As people from upstairs and downstairs passed by, quite a crowd gathered to watch.
Seeing that Auntie Qin was relentless, and the surrounding people, unaware of the truth, were pointing at me, I gradually lost my patience.
I went back inside and took out 3,000 yuan in cash, placing it beside her.
"I'm leaving the money here. Consider it me spending money to avoid disaster.
"Whether you take it yourself or have other neighbors use it to care for you.
"You decide."
After speaking, I slammed the door home without hesitation.
Madman—she's just a madman.
I trembled with anger, gently caressing my neck with one hand while the other clenched so tightly my nails had already embedded in my palm.
I had already done my best to avoid her.
If she still wanted to cause trouble, I was ready to take her on.
Chapter 3
I immediately installed miniature cameras inside my home and outside the door.
Because it was an old complex, there was no surveillance.
In my previous life, with her excellent acting skills and nonsense talk, she deceived everyone.
I died wrongfully, but the one who received everyone's comfort was her.
Everyone told her to restrain her grief and not be sad.
Afraid she would be reminded of painful memories when seeing things, they even helped her clear out the items from my room.
Only then did I realize that not long after I started helping her, she had gone door to door chatting with neighbors.
Saying that although this daughter-in-law was a bit older and not very good-looking, she was still quite filial.
Over time, they all accepted her nonsense that I was her daughter-in-law.
To prevent such misunderstandings from happening again, I absolutely couldn't give her another chance.
I found my previous life's boyfriend, Li Feng, ahead of time.
After a week's effort, I successfully won him over again.
I brought him to my residential complex, making a grand display.
Under the neighbors' gazes, I showed off our love affair with kisses and hugs.
Although Li Feng had a shy personality, this was also his first relationship.
Unable to withstand my passionate advances, he was embarrassed but didn't refuse.
Back and forth like this, everyone guessed the relationship between Li Feng and me.
But just then, Auntie Qin came looking for trouble again.
Chapter 4
She blocked me downstairs, her tone shrill:
"Xiaowei, you can't be so shameless! Since you became my family's daughter-in-law, how can you be so shameless, pulling and tugging with another man?"
I froze.
Knowing she wanted to cause trouble and unwilling to engage with her, I tried to leave.
But she grabbed my arm, and when people around looked over, she acted as if I had pushed her, falling backward.
When she sat on the ground, she cried even louder.
Seeing that people around quickly gathered.
I was unprepared, but I knew deep down that nothing good would come of staying, so I hurried to leave, but a burly figure appeared before me again, blocking my path.
I looked up and discovered it was the same security guard from before. His gaze was profound as he stared at me intently.
My heart trembled as I watched him, vaguely sensing something was wrong.
"Xiaowei, you can't mess around with other men while my son is away working.
"I know you're at that age when it's hardest to endure loneliness, but in ancient times, you would have been drowned in a pig cage for this. Can't you wait for my son to return?"
I was stunned, and the roots of my ears burned.
She simply lied through her teeth, vulgar words spilling out effortlessly.
I took a deep breath and, under everyone's watchful eyes, resisted the impulse to slap her.
"Don't think you can spread rumors just because you're old. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call the police on you."
Seeing a flash of guilt in her eyes, I deftly took out my phone to dial, but the security guard beside me deliberately bumped into me hard, and my phone fell to the ground.
When I picked it up again, the screen was already shattered.
I angrily looked over, but the security guard had already walked elsewhere—to outsiders, it looked like I had carelessly dropped my phone myself.
Auntie Qin looked somewhat gleeful but quickly put on a pitiful expression.
"Look, you're trembling because you have a guilty conscience.
"Xiaowei, listen to me. Know your faults and repent while there's still time. If you swear you won't mess around anymore, our family will forgive you."
She looked heartbroken, bitter and helpless.
A rustling discussion rose from the surroundings.
One-sided condemnation all aimed at me.
"Young people these days have no bottom line. Married and still shameless—truly disgusting."
"She deserves to be embarrassed. Having an affair and still being so flaunting about it. I once saw her and that man—they kissed without even trying to hide it. They almost turned the green belt into a bed."
"Really, really. At the time, I thought they were a couple, but it turns out they were having an affair. Truly, all kinds of birds appear when the forest grows large. They're nothing but bad birds."
"This mother-in-law has a good heart to be willing to forgive her. If it were my daughter-in-law, I'd strip her naked and let her be shameless."
...
Their voices grew louder. I clenched my fists, walked to Auntie Qin, and asked coldly:
"You keep saying I'm your daughter-in-law. Do you have proof?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Auntie Qin held up the 3,000 yuan I had given her before.
She started crying hysterically: "Last time I caught you messing around with someone else, and you wanted to push me downstairs. Seeing I only sprained my ankle, you tried to silence me with money.
"The neighbors upstairs and downstairs all saw it."
She suddenly pointed, aiming at the suspicious security guard.
"The security guard was present too. He can testify whether this happened."
With the security guard's nod, everyone looked at me again, their eyes full of disdain.
"Having an affair is one thing, but trying to murder your mother-in-law—too terrifying."
"Nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart. Why keep such a woman around for the New Year?"
Suppressing the anger about to erupt, I asked her one last time:
"Are you sure I'm your daughter-in-law? Your legal daughter-in-law?"
Seeing that the voices around me all rejected me, Auntie Qin puffed out her chest and spoke with certainty:
"If you weren't my daughter-in-law, why would I rent the apartment across from yours alone? It's because my son went to work, and he specially asked me to come care for you."
I sneered, the corners of my mouth turning upward.
She was digging her own grave—she couldn't blame me.
In front of everyone, I took out a brand-new marriage certificate and household registration book from my backpack.
As my fingers flipped through, photos of Li Feng and me clearly appeared.
The household registration book also clearly registered the words "first marriage."
Coincidentally, Li Feng walked over from afar, his hands full of groceries.
Seeing me surrounded by people, he was so anxious he dropped the groceries and hurried toward me.
He shouted "wife," and my tense limbs relaxed as tears fell.
Chapter 5
The noisy crowd from a second ago suddenly fell silent.
When everyone reacted, their faces showed a variety of expressions.
Stunned, ashamed—no one dared to say another word against me.
I no longer hesitated, walked to Auntie Qin, and slapped her across the face.
She was completely unprepared, staggering backward.
When she looked up, her cheek was already swollen.
A collective "hiss" sound rose, and people around instinctively touched their own faces, showing awkward expressions.
Auntie Qin was nearly 60 years old—so dazed by my slap that she couldn't find her bearings.
She covered her face, managed to say "you" before I interrupted her:
"You what? If you have the nerve to spread rumors, don't be afraid of me hitting you.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull out your tongue."
I bared my teeth, getting in her face, pretending to raise my hand again.
She panicked and dodged, casting pleading glances around her.
At this point, it was useless for her to make things up.
Because she had deliberately led the rhythm and made everyone lose face, at this moment, everyone looked at her with displeasure.
Li Feng took out his phone to call 110. Hearing the call connect, Auntie Qin didn't hesitate—she turned and fled in disarray.
I called her to stop: "Stop! Return my money to me!"
While she was counting the money, I deliberately pulled out her phone and slammed it heavily to the ground.
"Oops, my hand slipped."
Auntie Qin painfully picked up her phone, her expression as ugly as if a relative had died, but she didn't dare make a sound.
I provocatively looked toward the security guard, only to see his face was already black as coal, his gaze constantly moving between Li Feng and me.
I suddenly discovered that Auntie Qin and this security guard looked somewhat similar.
I shivered all over.
Chapter 6
Li Feng's personality was naturally cold. Seeing me bullied, his face turned dark, and he spoke dominantly:
"If I hear you spreading rumors about my wife again, no matter how old you are, I won't let you off."
Auntie was intimidated by Li Feng's aura, trembling and not even daring to fart.
Back home, Li Feng gently patted my back and went to the kitchen to tinker around.
Watching his back, I exhaled in relief.
When I found him this lifetime, he treated me like a stranger, his attitude extremely distant, though he couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes.
I pestered him repeatedly until I mentioned how as a child, he didn't like wearing underwear and during swimming class, anxiously ran to the women's restroom to urinate—only then did he hurriedly cover my mouth, believing I was someone from the future.
I exaggerated a bit, saying I was his future wife.
He blushed and nodded, his gaze toward me becoming tender.
We quickly registered our marriage, thinking we would celebrate, but we didn't expect to encounter Auntie Qin's harassment.
Thinking of Auntie Qin, I began unconsciously searching through memories of my previous life.
I didn't understand why Auntie Qin was so certain I was her daughter-in-law.
She always said her son was working away, how outstanding he was.
I just thought she was an old woman missing her son and occasionally patiently listened to her ramblings a few times, but I never said I wanted to develop anything with her son.
I racked my brain but couldn't think of anything I did that might have caused her misunderstanding.
Since the problem wasn't with me, then it was with her and that son of hers.
An image of the security guard's sinister look flashed through my mind, and I had a guess.
My parents passed away in a car accident years ago, leaving the house to me.
Although it was an old complex, because it held memories of my parents, I never wanted to move.
I even developed a spontaneous closeness to the security guards and cleaners in the complex.
Whenever I passed them in their uniforms, I would smile politely, occasionally sharing some of the fruit I was carrying.
They all dressed the same, and I never specifically tried to distinguish who was who.
Perhaps it was this unintentional behavior of mine that made someone misunderstand.
At this moment, there was another knock at the door.
My heart tightened, and I couldn't help thinking it was Auntie Qin coming to cause trouble again.
I went to the balcony and found a long wrench, then angrily walked toward the door.
Li Feng smiled lightly and stopped me, raising his eyebrows to explain: "Don't get excited. It should be the takeout I ordered."
He said the roast goose and fish sashimi he bought before were all spilled, and afraid I wouldn't be full, he ordered fried chicken.
My anxious heart finally settled.
But at dinner, Li Feng stared at the food on the table for a long time without moving his chopsticks.
I thought he was waiting for me to start first, so I took the lead and picked up a salted peanut.
The next second, Li Feng said: "That's not right. I didn't order peanuts."
My hand trembled in fright, and my chopsticks fell.
A bad premonition arose.
I checked the surveillance, confirming the delivery driver hadn't contacted Auntie Qin, then laughed at myself: "We're both too sensitive. Maybe the peanuts were a gift from the fried chicken shop."
Even as I spoke, I felt something was off—do fried chicken shops give out peanuts?
Knowing I would be killed by Auntie Qin in my future life, Li Feng had also become much more cautious. He personally called the fried chicken shop.
After hanging up, he frowned at me and shook his head.
With the experience of being poisoned in my previous life, I simply stood up and told Li Feng we should eat out.
Li Feng looked at the full table of food, asking in confusion: "Then what about these?"
I gave a charming smile, pulled him along, and knocked on the neighbor's door.
When Auntie Qin saw me, she was very surprised and backed away while covering her face.
I directly carried all the dishes on the table over to her, speaking perfunctorily:
"I'm sorry, Auntie Qin. I injured you today. Thinking you might not have had dinner yet, consider this my compensation."
Although Auntie Qin was confused, seeing the abundant food, her eyes gradually filled with joy.
She thought I had a guilty conscience and was trying to reconcile with her, so her attitude became arrogant:
"You want to curry favor with me now? Too late. I can forgive you, but my son won't forgive you."
She hummed, and before the word "bitch" could come out, Li Feng coldly looked at her. She pursed her lips, unwillingly falling silent.
Auntie Qin didn't reject me putting the salted peanuts on her table.
Now, I was almost certain this small dish was likely placed in the takeout by the security guard.
And the one who poisoned me with paraquat in my previous life was probably that security guard.
No wonder when facing police questioning, Auntie Qin wasn't nervous at all and was very certain that I had drunk the pesticide myself.
I secretly sneered—so I had unknowingly become someone's target.
To confirm my theory, I pretended to casually ask: "Auntie Qin, what do you usually call your son?"
Auntie Qin glanced at me, then made another complaining humph.
"What else would I call him besides Wang Qiang?"
I silently repeated the name in my mind—Wang Qiang.
I turned back and took the peanuts away, then left.
As Li Feng and I walked past the security booth holding hands, I deliberately glanced inside: "Hmm, Wang Qiang isn't here?"
The security guard on duty quickly replied: "Oh, he's on patrol."
I sneered and quickened my pace.
So it was him.
The feeling of being burned by pesticides in my previous life returned again. I gripped Li Feng's arm, and he hissed in pain.
He didn't blame me, instead feeling somewhat sorry as he gently pulled me into his arms.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
I especially cherished his comfort, hugging him back even tighter.
In my opinion, Wang Qiang's delusional crush on me had developed into a perversion.
Unable to accept my marriage to Li Feng, he wanted to find an opportunity to poison me.
If he didn't succeed this time, he would definitely strike again.
I had to act immediately.
Chapter 7
I immediately ordered online tablets, phones, and gold chains—all expensive items.
When the courier delivered them, Li Feng and I were enjoying sun and sand on an island.
The items I bought could only sit quietly at the door.
Two days later, I saw from the surveillance software that Auntie Qin, taking advantage of the darkness, quietly carried everything from my doorstep back to her home.
I smiled—the good show was about to begin.
Auntie Qin was someone who loved taking advantage.
In my previous life, my packages often went missing, and within a few days, I would see things I bought at her home.
I pitied her as an elderly woman living alone and didn't hold it against her.
I just tried not to buy expensive items online anymore to avoid her jealousy.
This time, she was finished.
When I brought the police to knock on her door, she looked confused.
I looked with amusement at the gold chains hanging around her neck and wrists. Her expression froze as she grabbed at them with her hands while covering her neck, afraid others wouldn't see them.
I laughed sarcastically: "My, Auntie Qin, are you wearing something your son bought you?"
Her old muddled mind immediately went along with my words: "Yes, yes, yes. My son bought them."
I smiled, pointing to the 12-inch tablet on the coffee table, which was playing a live stream of muscular men.
"Using this to watch live streams must be very clear. Did your son buy this too?"
Auntie Qin glanced sideways at the stern-faced police beside her and nodded like a pecking chicken: "Yes, yes, yes. My son bought that too."
I crossed my arms, glancing at the latest Huawei phone peeking from her pocket, my tone exaggerated:
"Your son must have struck it rich, to even buy you a phone worth over ten thousand."
Auntie Qin smiled awkwardly, her hand quickly stuffing into her pocket, making the gold chain around her neck gleam brightly.
The next second, she was handcuffed and taken away by police.
She widened her eyes but still argued stubbornly.
"What's wrong with my son buying me things? Are you framing good people?"
I sneered: "Come on, at this point, still shamelessly bragging.
"Your son Wang Qiang works as a security guard in this complex. He'd buy these for you?"
Auntie Qin seemed suddenly struck at her sore spot as she shrieked:
"Oh, so that's why you despise him for being a security guard, cheating on him with another man behind his back! You bitch!"
Her words were ugly, and I couldn't help but quickly walk over and slap her several times on the spot.
At this point, many people had stopped to watch.
Auntie Qin cried out in pain, "Ah!" Turning her head, she saw countless eyes staring at her. She had lost all face and angrily shouted in a loud voice:
"Police officer, she's hitting people. Quick, arrest her."
I laughed: "I apologize for hitting people, but you stole my phone, tablet, and gold bars. What do you say to that?"
I deliberately emphasized the word "steal," and the onlookers suddenly understood, immediately letting out sounds of disapproval.
Auntie Qin looked unconvinced: "You were supposed to be my daughter-in-law. Can you call it stealing when I take things from my daughter-in-law?"
I was about to raise my hand again when I saw someone beat me to it, smashing an egg into her face.
The sticky liquid covered her face, sliding down her nose.
Handcuffed, she couldn't reach up to wipe it.
The people around watched her ridiculous appearance and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Wuwu, police officer, aren't you going to do anything?"
The police officer coughed lightly and said flatly: "Too many people. Can't tell who did it."
I looked over and saw Li Feng in the crowd giving me a wave.
Auntie Qin had obviously seen him too, but the police's attitude made it clear they didn't want to get involved.
She had no choice but to hang her head in shame, not wanting people to see her predicament.
I sneered: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue your son too."
At the mention of her son, she immediately deflated.
Auntie Qin was soon convicted of theft due to conclusive evidence.
At nearly sixty years old, she would face one year in prison.
And during the trial, her son never came to visit her once.
In my previous life, I would have respected her for her age, but now, even if she were beaten by strangers on the street, I would say she deserved it.
Without her causing trouble for me, dealing with Wang Qiang became much easier.
Chapter 8
With Auntie Qin locked up, my home became much quieter.
At least I didn't have to hear Auntie Qin occasionally saying I was her daughter-in-law, making me uncomfortable.
In my previous life, she said I was her daughter-in-law, but I didn't even know who her son was.
This time, I finally understood why.
Wang Qiang's job as a security guard in the complex included room and board, and he always worked the day shift, only resting at night.
And I almost never bothered Auntie Qin at night. Even if Wang Qiang returned to Auntie's room, by the time I saw Auntie Qin the next day, he had already gone to work.
No wonder I always misunderstood that Auntie Qin lived alone, while Auntie Qin thought I was being filial to her.
Bah, my one-sided misplaced kindness.
With Auntie Qin taken care of by me, Wang Qiang must be very angry.
Worried that I was in the open while he was in the dark, he might come at me from the shadows.
I immediately complained to the property manager about him, accusing him of sexual harassment, and pulled up the surveillance from my door.
In the video, Wang Qiang occasionally wandered around my doorstep.
Not discovering I had installed miniature cameras, he several times pressed against the peephole, acting suspiciously.
When the property manager saw the video, his face darkened.
I knew immediately I had made the right move.
Worried Wang Qiang might retaliate, I demanded the manager fire him using other excuses, not revealing my identity.
Everything progressed very smoothly.
Li Feng specially bought me my favorite crayfish to celebrate.
I was sucking the spicy juice, shaking my head.
"We can't celebrate too early. Auntie Qin has been arrested, and now he's been fired. He's narrow-minded and can easily connect these two events. No matter the reason, he'll definitely come after me."
After speaking, I continued peeling shrimp.
Li Feng uncharacteristically didn't respond. Usually, he would immediately reply to what I said.
The space was eerily silent for a minute, as if a long time had passed.
I lowered my head, but my back suddenly felt cold. I slowly turned around.
No one.
The sound of a toilet flushing came from the bathroom at the right moment.
My shoulders relaxed, and I laughed at myself.
I must have been too tense, scaring myself.
I called toward the bathroom: "Hurry up, or I'll finish everything if you don't come out soon."
But behind me suddenly came a sinister question:
"Does it taste good?"
My hair stood on end in fright.
Turning around, I saw Wang Qiang looking down at me from above, his two copper-bell-like eyes flashing with a strange light.
I exclaimed, but before I could react, he had already slipped a rope around my neck.
The feeling of suffocation followed.
Wang Qiang's strange laughter rang out, like a voice from hell.
But the next second, the one who fainted was Wang Qiang.
Li Feng stood beside him holding a club, looking apologetic: "Did I kill him?"
I loosened the rope from my neck, coughing violently from being choked.
"Kill him?" I chewed on these two words bitterly, gritting my teeth hatefully, "That would be too cheap for him."
After speaking, still not satisfied, I kicked him several times.
I knew this guy was up to no good, and I caught him, didn't I?
I had already discovered him when he was squatting below my apartment.
But for several days, he didn't make a move.
To draw him out, I had eaten crayfish for five consecutive days.
Just to let him know when the delivery driver arrived at my home each day.
I was about to throw up from eating them before he secretly slipped in through the slightly open door.
From the moment he came upstairs, Li Feng had already hidden in the bathroom, pretending to have an upset stomach, giving him an opportunity.
It was all a trap to lure him in.
Chapter 9
I want to properly vent my grievances from my previous life.
What did I do wrong?
I just wanted to be a good person—how did that lead to my wrongful death?
This lifetime, I'm not done with this coward Wang Qiang.
Li Feng and I drove, taking the bound Wang Qiang to the wilderness. Only when we reached a deserted place did I let him out.
The person with his limbs bound rolled several times on the rugged mountain ground like a large fat worm, letting out painful muffled groans.
This is much more interesting than an acupressure board, and it's eco-friendly and saves money.
I giggled, using a wrench to shatter the lightbulb in his mouth.
Glass shards filled his mouth, and blood immediately flowed freely.
Wang Qiang didn't dare to swallow, continuously spitting glass outward.
I waited leisurely for him to finish spitting before lazily opening my mouth:
"You know me, right, Wang Qiang."
He seemed not to have learned his lesson yet, his eyes slowly widening as he spat at me.
"You bitch! Shameless slut..."
Before he could finish, Li Feng casually picked up a stone and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Zhi!"—the sound of his teeth instantly hitting the stone, his face contorting.
I winced, and Li Feng helplessly spread his hands.
"I didn't want him to curse you."
I was amused, stood up and kissed him. Li Feng's ears suddenly turned red.
Wang Qiang watched with furrowed brows, his gaze becoming even more sinister.
This idiot—with his personality, he was definitely having wild thoughts again.
I couldn't help but go over and slap him several times. His mouth full of blood, he was quickly knocked unconscious by me.
Unexpectedly, for someone so tall and strong, he couldn't take a punch.
I hadn't even started with what I wanted to say and do.
Li Feng seemed to guess my dissatisfaction and, not knowing where he got it, brought over a basin of water and directly pushed Wang Qiang's head into it.
Before long, Wang Qiang struggled to lift his head from the water, coughing several mouthfuls of water, his face haggard.
A glint of despair flashed in his eyes.
But when it came to despair, how could he compare to me in my previous life?
Being poisoned for no reason, the burning tearing sensation spreading through my body.
I was innocent, helpless, panic sweeping through me.
Until death, I didn't understand what I had done wrong.
All because of this scumbag before me, who psychologically deluded himself into thinking I was his partner.
People like him living in this world are a scourge.
He deserves to die.
Still not satisfied, I slapped him several more times: "I didn't say you could faint. You can't faint. This makes things difficult for me."
I still had more in store for him.
Wang Qiang's lips moved, still looking at me with contempt.
I knew it would be the same few phrases from him, so I poked his forehead hard with my finger.
"Shut up. Don't think I won't curse you just because you're ugly.
"You're ugly and you think too highly of yourself. I glance at you, and you think I'm interested in you. If your eyes have problems, get them treated quickly.
"Your eyes having problems is one thing, but your mind is messed up too. Do you never look in the mirror? Mistaking inferiority for confidence.
"Can't you see what you're worth? You look like old tree bark—why do you think I'd be interested in you?
"Others have money, power, and looks. You have no money, you're a loser, and you're ugly. Why are you so disgusting?"
...
These words I had held in for a lifetime—I had to vent them.
I was short of only holding a loudspeaker to his ear.
His face turned from white to red then back to white, mouth open but unable to speak.
When I grew tired of cursing, Li Feng immediately called for backup.
Chapter 10
Before long, a container truck slowly drove toward us.
A masked driver got out of the truck. He opened the tailgate, and the sound of "zhi zhi zhi" came like thunder.
Wang Qiang was already exhausted from my treatment. Hearing the sound, he looked over with confusion in his eyes.
Li Feng went over and patted the driver's shoulder, said something in a low voice, then pulled me back into the car.
I saw the driver lead down dozens of strong monkeys from the truck, surrounding Wang Qiang in a circle.
Before long, Wang Qiang's heart-wrenching cries echoed to the heavens.
Li Feng covered my eyes, whispering: "Not suitable for minors."
I shivered, my scalp tingling.
When the crying sounds grew smaller and smaller, Li Feng reopened the car door.
The container truck had already left. Wang Qiang was lying on the ground bare-bottomed, looking like he had lost the will to live.
For a moment, I felt a wave of pity.
So disgusting.
Wang Qiang struggled to lift his head. Seeing me, he could no longer suppress his crying.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Please let me go.
"I shouldn't have been so presumptuous. I was blind.
"Wuwuwu."
A grown man crying more pitifully than a woman.
I smiled.
I looked down at him: "Was it just presumption?
"You're intoxicated by the phantom charm you constructed, constantly immersed in your own delusions. I just smile at you once, and you interpret it as a signal of love.
"You inexplicably developed possessive desires toward me and told your mother false information.
"You and your mother spread rumors about me and ganged up on me.
"You even put salted peanuts with paraquat in my takeout. Do you know, if I hadn't taken the peanuts away, your mother would have eaten them long ago, and your mother would have lost her life by now."
Wang Qiang's eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief.
Then he hung his head low, muttering: "So this is what you really think of me in your heart? So I'm really that bad...
"Don't you remember, who was it who stood guard outside your door every night?
"When you worked night shifts, who was it who followed behind you to protect you?"
He suddenly broke down and shouted: "You're lying! You bitch, you were the one who seduced me first, and you won't admit it. You're just a fucking bit..."
Li Feng kicked him, and his words stopped abruptly.
Followed by another round of whimpering.
Li Feng shook his head at me, signaling with his eyes that he was beyond saving.
I smiled bitterly.
Some people are ultimately deluded, walking one path to darkness—then I'll grant their wish.
Chapter 11
Wang Qiang disappeared from my life completely.
Li Feng, I don't know what method he used, sent him to Northern Myanmar—he'll never return.
Li Feng held me tightly in his arms. He exhaled and told me in a muffled voice that Wang Qiang had hidden not only paraquat but also several short knives on him.
Fortunately, he had come out of the bathroom in time, otherwise, I might have lost my life.
He sighed: "You can't take such risks next time."
I didn't feel relieved but somewhat sad.
What kind of upbringing creates such a split personality?
But before I could think more, Li Feng was already kissing me deeply.
His kiss was passionate and lingering. At this moment, my mind went blank.
Li Feng's Side Story
When Weiwei appeared before me again, my heart was stirred.
I couldn't control my racing heartbeat but was afraid of frightening her.
I could only force myself to appear calm.
I thought I would have to wait three more years to see her again.
Unexpectedly, she found me ahead of time—does this mean we'll have much more time together in the future?
Her every frown and smile constantly influenced me.
To make me happy, she even gave me 99 roses.
But what girl gives flowers to a guy? In front of colleagues, my ears turned red.
She smiled and took me to ride the Ferris wheel, inside which she kissed me first.
I fell for her all over again.
But she suddenly started crying, saying she was someone from the future and my future wife.
I was stunned for a long time. It turned out she had past life memories just like me, only I couldn't remember when we had gotten married.
When I saw her cunning gaze, I realized she was deceiving me.
My heart instantly softened—being deceived by her, I was willing.
Thinking of that day in my previous life, I left work as usual to find her, imagining spending a wonderful weekend with her.
But just as I reached downstairs, I saw her being carried away on a stretcher into an ambulance.
Her expression looked extremely painful, eyes tightly closed, fists clenched, as if she had endured endless torment.
I didn't have time to run over before the ambulance sped away.
I chased frantically to the hospital.
What awaited me was the news that she had already passed away.
The doctor said she had drunk paraquat—her organs were corroded, and she had died from organ failure.
She died in great pain, as if tens of thousands of ants were eating her heart.
I was stunned.
I couldn't imagine what she had experienced.
And what I couldn't accept even more was the reason for her suicide.
That old woman said Weiwei was her daughter-in-law, and because she had an affair with me, felt guilty toward her son, and used death to escape.
The old woman cursed very viciously, showing no mercy.
Saying Weiwei was shameless, a prostitute.
My heart tightened—I didn't believe her nonsense.
I prayed to heaven for a chance to let me meet my lovely girl again.
This time, I would definitely protect her well.
