Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: She’s Super Fierce

’Go to Beijing together?’

Su Zhaozhao was very drawn to the idea, but to go back with Zhang Jingshu now?

’Wouldn’t that mean I’d have to meet Xie Huaizheng’s parents?!’

After all, Zhang Jingshu was on very good terms with Xie Huaizheng’s family.

And she was engaged to Xie Huaizheng.

But when she remembered how the original Su Zhaozhao’s stepmother had broken off the engagement and humiliated him, Su Zhaozhao immediately shook her head. "I’d better not go."

Zhang Jingshu thought Su Zhaozhao was afraid to go alone. She said, "Aren’t you going to marry Huai Zheng? Don’t you need to meet his parents? Why don’t you have Huai Zheng go back with you? He never goes home either."

Now, besides her own daughter, Su Zhaozhao was her favorite girl.

Naturally, she wanted to see Su Zhaozhao find happiness.

Coincidentally, her own daughter had given up on Xie Huaizheng, which meant she was free to play matchmaker for Su Zhaozhao and Xie Huaizheng.

Hearing this, Su Zhaozhao’s gaze fell. "But... I’m a little worried. It’s alright, I’ll just wait for him here. We’re grown-ups now, anyway. We can decide to get married on our own."

As the two were chatting, a sudden shriek cut through the air. "Why did you touch me?!"

The young nurse’s face was beet red as she spoke to a man in his fifties in front of her.

The man was in a wheelchair, with his wife beside him.

Hearing the nurse’s words, the wife couldn’t help but frown. "Don’t talk nonsense, young lady. Touch you? He’s a patient, how could he touch you?"

"It was him! I even moved back on purpose just now, but his hand still grabbed me." The nurse’s voice trembled.

"Are you trying to blackmail us? You must be crazy. Are you even pretty? With that flat chest, you look like a man. Who would want to touch you?" The woman continued to yell at the nurse.

The young girl had never experienced a scene like this. It had taken a lot of courage just to speak up and accuse him after being touched so uncomfortably.

She never expected them to not only deny it but to insult her and attack her appearance. Her eyes filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry.

She was only twenty-one, a recent graduate who had come all the way from Beijing to the remote Northwest for this job. Had it been easy for her?

This older woman’s insults were truly vicious.

Su Zhaozhao glanced at the scene. No cameras, no evidence. It was all just the nurse’s word.

But... looking at the man in the wheelchair, she couldn’t help but sneer.

’Just as I thought. Some men only behave themselves when they’re hanging on a wall!’

Zhang Jingshu glanced at Su Zhaozhao and knew she wouldn’t be able to let this go.

She couldn’t help but say, "Zhaozhao, forget it. That woman looks fierce. She’s not someone you want to mess with."

Even though she knew Su Zhaozhao was capable, it would be hard to prove anything without evidence. Besides, she was still sick. It was best not to get dragged into the mess.

But Su Zhaozhao could no longer hold back. "Ma’am, may I ask if you think you’re good-looking? Old, washed-up, and with a face that mean, how did your husband ever end up marrying you?"

She didn’t usually attack people’s appearances, unless they enjoyed attacking others’ first.

"What did you just say, you little bitch?!" The woman froze for a second, then her voice shot up an octave. She glared at Su Zhaozhao as if she wanted to eat her alive.

"It seems your hearing is going, too. Alright, I’ll repeat myself. I said... you’re... old... and... washed... up." Su Zhaozhao deliberately slowed down her words at the end, making sure everyone present could hear.

"Shut up!" the woman interrupted Su Zhaozhao. "Who the hell do you think you are? We didn’t do anything to you, did we? Don’t come looking for a fight."

Su Zhaozhao turned her head to look at the man in the wheelchair. His gaze was now fixed tightly on her.

His lecherous stare made Su Zhaozhao want to gouge his eyes out.

"You bitch, are you trying to seduce my man now?" the woman roared when she saw Su Zhaozhao staring at her husband.

Su Zhaozhao sneered. "Who would want a toad of a husband like yours?"

Her gaze suddenly sharpened as she stared at the man. "I know today wasn’t the first time something like this has happened. You’d best admit what you did, compensate her, and apologize. Otherwise, we can all go down to the police station and let the officers investigate. Sexual harassment is a jailable offense. Didn’t you know there’s a major crackdown on hooliganism right now? You think you’re in the clear just because there’s no evidence? I’m sure there are other victims around you, aren’t there?"

Su Zhaozhao’s words made the man’s face turn pale.

After speaking, Su Zhaozhao turned to the woman. "And you, you’ll be an accomplice. You’ll go to jail too!"

Su Zhaozhao said fiercely.

To the onlookers, seeing Su Zhaozhao make such threats with that face was almost cute.

This young girl didn’t look old, and she was very pretty, yet her fighting spirit was so strong.

Her voice was soft and sweet; no matter how cold her tone, they didn’t find it frightening.

Only the couple in question was scared enough to tremble.

The threat left the couple before her pale-faced.

"Jail..." the woman said, trembling. "No, we can’t... Old man, hurry up and apologize to the young lady!"

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..." The man lost his nerve as well.

The nurse, whose name was Fu Yuling, was finally starting to feel a little better.

"Wouldn’t it have been better to just admit it from the start? You had to insult me, too?"

Su Zhaozhao looked at Fu Yuling. "You decide how to handle them."

"I don’t want money. Just write me an apology letter, and it has to be sincere!" Fu Yuling said.

Not far away, the hospital Director, Lin Shumo, and a few others had rushed over and witnessed the entire event.

They had been wondering how to mediate the situation. After all, with a nurse on one side and a patient on the other, they couldn’t let things get too hostile.

This man, for instance, wasn’t from their military region. He was from West State and had only come here for treatment because his serious illness couldn’t be cured there.

A person like that wouldn’t actually be arrested and jailed, even if they went to the police station.

Now that the man had apologized and agreed to write a letter, the farce could be considered over.

The Director went over to comfort Fu Yuling, while Lin Shumo stood by and watched.

His gaze fell on Su Zhaozhao. ’What an impressive girl.’

However, her current condition seemed a little off.

Fu Yuling gratefully grasped Su Zhaozhao’s hand. "Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I would have been completely wronged today."

Su Zhaozhao said, "Don’t mention it. I just can’t stand to see bad people get away with things."

Perhaps because she had dealt with so many criminals in her past life, she had a keen sense for spotting bad people.

She could tell if someone had a guilty conscience with just a single glance.

At that moment, Su Zhaozhao felt her head spin. She wasn’t sure if it was because she had been talking for too long, but her condition seemed to be getting worse. A chill started to creep over her body.

Her illness hadn’t fully healed yet.

Lin Shumo saw Su Zhaozhao sway, looking like she could collapse at any moment.

He immediately stepped forward, intending to help her back to her room.

But the girl’s body suddenly went limp, and she started to fall sideways.

She fell directly into his arms.

The faint scent of jasmine enveloped Lin Shumo, leaving him stunned.
