Sweet Rebirth: The Little Healer

’If it weren’t for that bitch Zhao Nuanyue, how could I have ended up in this pathetic state!’

”Zhao Nuanyue, you stop right there!” Guo Dongmei’s shrill voice came from behind. ”If it weren’t for you, how could I have gotten into a car crash!”

Zhao Nuanyue acted as if she hadn’t heard and just kept running forward, holding Little Red Carp. Guo Dongmei was a flustered and exasperated woman, capable of doing or saying anything.

Seeing Zhao Nuanyue act so cowardly, Guo Dongmei’s arrogance grew even more blatant. She was determined to make Zhao Nuanyue apologize and even kowtow to her.

Little Red Carp wasn’t happy about this. She frowned and said, ”This woman is so arrogant. She clearly hasn’t learned her lesson. I’m going to teach her one.”

”Little Red Carp!” Zhao Nuanyue scolded. ”You can’t use your Spells anymore. Since we’re living in human society, we have to live by human rules. As for your Spells, you absolutely cannot use them unless it’s a last resort.”

Yesterday, Little Red Carp had fainted, which had frightened Zhao Nuanyue to death. She didn’t want Little Red Carp to faint again from using her Spells.

In Zhao Nuanyue’s heart, it wasn’t worth suffering such a serious consequence over a woman like Guo Dongmei.

”Oh!” Little Red Carp sounded a little dejected, but she also knew she couldn’t take swift and satisfying revenge like she had yesterday.

’But Big Sister is right. I’m a person now, so I have to live by human rules.’

Zhao Nuanyue wanted to ignore Guo Dongmei, but Guo Dongmei wasn’t having it.

”Stop that ugly woman holding the child for me,” Guo Dongmei said to the bodyguards beside her. How could she let Zhao Nuanyue get away so easily? She still wanted to make Zhao Nuanyue kowtow and apologize properly!

The two bodyguards were responsible for protecting Second Young Master Li. Hearing Guo Dongmei’s command, they weren’t sure if they should obey, so they looked toward Second Young Master Li.

Li Gongming hadn’t gotten a clear look at Zhao Nuanyue before. Now, all he could see was her slender back. Even though she was wearing a thick, padded coat, he could imagine that this woman must have a pretty face.

”Mm,” Li Gongming nodded. ”Bring them over. Don’t hurt them!”

Hearing this, the two bodyguards immediately chased after them and blocked Zhao Nuanyue’s path. She couldn’t leave.

”Please turn back,” one of the bodyguards said. He didn’t want to get rough, as she was a young woman holding a child.

With her way blocked, Zhao Nuanyue had no choice but to turn around and face Guo Dongmei.

Zhao Nuanyue was slightly out of breath from walking quickly. Two lovely flushes of red colored her fair cheeks. She had a fresh and refined air, with large eyes, a small nose, rosy lips, and a round face that tapered to a delicate chin. Even in her plain clothes, it was clear she was an absolute beauty.

As Zhao Nuanyue walked over step by step, she naturally saw Li Gongming standing beside Guo Dongmei.

’Scum!’

’He’s absolute scum!’

Li Gongming had no other skills to speak of, but he was especially talented at seducing women. In her previous life, he was involved in shady relationships with many women, cuckolding many powerful men. He even used the power of these women’s families to climb the ladder and accomplish quite a lot.

However, no secret can be kept forever. What goes around, comes around.

Li Gongming’s ambiguous affairs with other women were eventually discovered. It was a woman, fighting out of jealousy and love turned to hate, who leaked numerous photos.

The men who had been cuckolded used various means to delete the photos and vehemently denied everything on the surface, all to save face. As for what happened to those women when they returned home, one could only imagine their fate.

One person might not have been able to take Li Gongming down, and maybe not even two. But with eight or ten of them, even if Li Gongming were incredibly resourceful, he would still be run ragged trying to deal with them all. In the end, he was utterly defeated.

When Li Gongming got a clear look at Zhao Nuanyue’s face, he was completely stunned.

’If a woman like this isn’t in my arms, what meaning is there to life!’

Zhao Nuanyue, of course, saw the dark, unrestrained lust in Li Gongming’s eyes and felt disgusted. She stopped about three meters away from Guo Dongmei and asked with feigned surprise, ”Guo Dongmei, how did you get hurt?”

Zhao Nuanyue’s words were deliberately provocative.

Guo Dongmei almost choked on her own anger. She snapped, ”You clearly saw me get into a car crash yesterday, and now you’re pretending you didn’t know? How hypocritical can you be?”

”Huh?” Zhao Nuanyue feigned a look of shock, looking Guo Dongmei up and down. ”You were in a car crash? That’s quite unfortunate. But what does that have to do with me? I’m not your driver!”

”If you hadn’t made me so angry, would I have crashed?” Guo Dongmei retorted. ”You’re going to apologize to me. You have to get on your knees and give me a sincere apology.”

”Haha!” Zhao Nuanyue scoffed. ”That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! Since you’re blocking my way, let me break it down for you. I was pushing my bike on the side of the road. You drove up from the opposite direction. You had already passed me, but you deliberately turned around, chased me down, and blocked my bike. Then you pointed at my face and cursed me, saying that the man you tossed aside was someone I, Zhao Nuanyue, was desperate to have. After you said that, of course I couldn’t just let you insult me. I said a lot of things too, but it all boiled down to one thing: ’If you’re so capable, then get Li Gongming of the Li family to marry you.’ Then you stormed off in your car and, not long after, crashed into a wall. From start to finish, you were the one who started the trouble, and you were the one who stormed off in a huff. Why on earth should you blame me for your car crash? It’s obvious you’re the one who’s desperate to marry into the Li family. Maybe he already has his heart set on someone else and doesn’t like you, and that’s why you were so furious you crashed your car.”

Zhao Nuanyue’s speech was clear and logical; every word made perfect sense.

Li Gongming, who was watching the show from the side, hadn’t expected the beautiful Zhao Nuanyue to be so sharp-tongued. ’No wonder Guo Dongmei was angry enough to get into a car crash yesterday.’

Guo Dongmei was so angry she was about to cry. For Zhao Nuanyue to say such things in front of Li Gongming... Fuming, she pointed a finger at Zhao Nuanyue. ”You... You’re a rotten woman! You’ll pay the price for that foul mouth of yours.”

”Oh my, I was just stating the facts. Why are you getting angry again?” Zhao Nuanyue said calmly. ”Tsk, tsk. I really must give you some advice. You’ve already broken off your engagement with Hua Yusen, so you shouldn’t keep picking on a nobody like me. For a woman, marriage is a momentous event. Instead of wasting your anger on me, wouldn’t it be better to spend some time dressing up to charm the Second Young Master of the Li family? Once you’ve done the deed and secured a marriage with a baby on the way, your status will rise with your child’s. You’ll get what you’ve always wanted and marry into the Li family. Wouldn’t that be more meaningful for you?”

If Li Gongming hadn’t been standing right there, Guo Dongmei might not have been so furious.

But for Zhao Nuanyue to say all that, and right in front of Li Gongming...

’What would Li Gongming think after hearing that?’
