She gasped for air. The scheme she had concocted in her mind grew even stronger!
A malicious glint flashed in her eyes. Meng Rong tightened her grip on the cushion on the sofa and let out a cold sneer.
This time, I'll definitely make you disappear from this world completely!
Let's see how you can still act so arrogantly!
At this thought, as if she had already envisioned Meng Nianchu's miserable state in her mind, Meng Rong burst into wild laughter, extremely smug.
A gentle breeze drifted into the room through the slightly ajar window. Meng Nianchu, sitting in the living room of Shangting, held a bowl of chicken soup in her left hand and a fruit platter in her right.
Mother Meng stood in front of her, putting on her coat while giving instructions. "These are all good things. They're especially beneficial for your health. Eat more. I'm going out. When I come back, both of these must be empty."
"I can't eat that much..."
"You must finish them all!" After giving the instructions, Mother Meng rushed out in a hurry.
Looking at the things in her hands, Meng Nianchu smiled helplessly. She placed the chicken soup on the table, held the fruit platter, and slumped on the sofa, staring thoughtfully at a corner of the room.
Some things had already changed. At this time in the past, she had been disfigured in a car accident orchestrated by Meng Rong, but now she was perfectly fine without any problems. She wondered if this accident would be exactly the same as before, or if Meng Rong would come up with an even more vicious plan.
Or maybe she was overthinking. Maybe only the pregnancy was the same as before, and nothing else would happen...
After thinking it over and over again, Meng Nianchu rubbed her temples in frustration and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the phone on the table started buzzing. Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look. Sure enough, it was a call from Meng Rong. Her eyes darkened, and her expression grew colder.
She pressed the answer button, and Meng Rong's sweet and obsequious voice filled the living room.
"Nianchu, I was wrong at the hospital. I was sick and feeling uncomfortable at that time, so my words were a bit harsh. I even forgot to ask what was wrong with you that made you go to the hospital. After all, we're both daughters of the Meng family. If we keep arguing, Mom and Dad will be unhappy. And if we keep this up, it'll just make others laugh at us, right?"
Hearing her conciliatory words, Meng Nianchu leaned back and waited for what she would say next.
"I was thinking that maybe we sisters could find a place to have a heart-to-heart talk. If we clear up our misunderstandings, there won't be any more messy things."
"Where?"
Hearing that Meng Nianchu had agreed, Meng Rong's tone immediately brightened. "Let's go to the Cottage Café! Don't you love the cappuccino there? Let's go there and talk. It's still early. How about going there now!"
Meng Nianchu raised her chin slightly. "Sure."
"Then it's settled. I'll change my clothes and rush there now. Hurry up too!"
"Okay."
The phone was quickly hung up. Meng Nianchu's expression grew solemn. She gently placed her hand on her still-flat abdomen, and a plan of how to deal with the situation had already formed in her mind.
However...
Meng Nianchu lowered her eyes. It was as if she was talking to herself or to the baby in her belly. "This is the best opportunity. I can't waste it! You've had a hard time."
Once Meng Nianchu had made a decision, she would never change it easily. Even though she knew that Meng Rong was feigning kindness by inviting her out just to ruin her, Meng Nianchu was not afraid!
Before leaving, Meng Nianchu changed out of her long dress and went upstairs to put on a pair of loose shorts. She also called Mu Junze.
The phone was answered as soon as she dialed.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Mu Junze's deep voice, Meng Nianchu felt a lot more at ease. She closed the door of Shangting and said, "I just went out for a stroll. I'm planning to go back now. I'm not feeling well. Can you come and pick me up?"
"Where are you?" There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone.
Meng Nianchu hailed a taxi that was just about to leave. "The Cottage Café."
"Wait for me."
After that, there was no more sound from Mu Junze on the phone, and the screen went black.
Meng Nianchu turned her head and looked out of the car window. She tapped her thigh with her left index finger, silently weighing her options.
It would take some time to get from Mu Junze's company to the Cottage Café. Based on her recollection of the time frame in the past, he would probably arrive in time when Meng Rong tried to run her over.
But just to be on the safe side, she had to be extra careful.
Thinking like this, Meng Nianchu felt a sense of unease in her heart. She gently rubbed her abdomen with her small hand and secretly made up her mind.
She must not let anything happen to the baby again!
At this time in the past, she didn't know that she was pregnant, and she believed everything Meng Rong said without knowing her true face. That was why she had suffered disfigurement, miscarriage, and a series of other things later!
This time, not only did she have to protect the baby, but she also had to make Meng Rong get her just deserts and be unable to survive in Linhai!
She let out a long breath. While lost in thought, the taxi had already stopped.
Meng Nianchu slowly got out of the car and quietly surveyed the surroundings for any suspicious people. The moment she got out of the car, a pair of fierce eyes in the darkness fixed on her, quietly observing her every move.
Meng Rong, sitting in a low-key black car, stared unblinkingly at Meng Nianchu standing in front of the café. The strength in her grip on the steering wheel gradually increased, and a cold look appeared on her face.
Since you dared to come, don't blame me!
She suddenly stepped on the accelerator and rammed straight towards where Meng Nianchu was standing.
Hearing the noise, Meng Nianchu turned to look. Just as she saw the car crashing towards her, she quickly dodged to the left. She didn't notice the stone under her feet and suddenly fell to the ground.
Meng Rong quickly turned the steering wheel and rammed towards her again. She was determined to make Meng Nianchu die. She stepped on the accelerator all the way down and stared fixedly at Meng Nianchu lying on the ground.
As the car got closer and closer to Meng Nianchu and was about to hit her, Meng Rong's expression became distorted, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, just as the car was about to hit Meng Nianchu, she suddenly struggled to dodge backward, revealing a thick pillar behind her.
By this time, it was too late for Meng Rong to stop the car.
"Bang!"
The black car slammed into the pillar. The front of the car was deeply dented. No one knew what had happened to Meng Rong inside.
Meng Nianchu's heart was pounding extremely fast. She staggered to her feet. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a tall figure running straight towards her.
"Are you okay?" Mu Junze hugged Meng Nianchu in a panic. There was an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.
The moment he arrived, he saw the black car crashing towards Meng Nianchu. He ran over as fast as he could, but it was still a bit late. Fortunately, Meng Nianchu was okay.
He turned his angry eyes to the badly damaged black car, and the light in his eyes gradually turned cold and menacing.
