Demon Girl Episode 7 Recap
> Demon Girl Recap
Ming Xia took his mother and Nie Qingcheng to a housewarming dinner hosted by his superior, Colonel William. William thought highly of Ming Xia, even intending to hand over his position to Ming Xia after returning to his home country. The venue was filled with dignitaries and celebrities. Nie Qingcheng, attending a high-society gathering for the first time, was extremely cautious, afraid of making a faux pas and embarrassing Ming Xia.
However, no matter how careful she was, it couldn't stop unexpected attacks. Fang Yaqing knew that her son would introduce Nie Qingcheng to Colonel William later. She intentionally or unintentionally complained about William's lecherous nature in front of Nie Qingcheng. Nie Qingcheng, being simple and innocent, couldn't have imagined the hidden agenda behind it. When Ming Xia brought William to his mother and Nie Qingcheng and introduced them one by one, Nie Qingcheng saw William actually kiss Fang Yaqing's hand.
This common Western etiquette, in Nie Qingcheng's eyes, became an act of impropriety. When William kissed Nie Qingcheng's hand, she was already unable to accept it. When William leaned closer for a cheek kiss, a gesture of intimacy, Nie Qingcheng was so startled that she screamed and jumped away. Her scream alarmed all the guests present, making William feel extremely embarrassed. Just then, Jiang Xuewu, at the invitation of Xu Shaobai, entered the dinner party.
Seeing the situation, she quickly stepped forward to explain and resolve William's awkwardness. After Shaobai accompanied William away, Fang Yaqing didn't miss the opportunity to scold Nie Qingcheng. Nie Qingcheng knew she had caused big trouble and no longer dared to stay at the party. Seeing her scheme succeed, Fang Yaqing was inwardly pleased. Jiang Xuewu, on the other hand, was worried that offending William would be detrimental to Ming Xia's future.
Fang Yaqing didn't care about the Chief's position; she had long not wanted her son to do such a dangerous job. If she could drive away Nie Qingcheng and make Ming Xia lose his job, that would be killing two birds with one stone. Seeing Nie Qingcheng run out, Ming Xia ignored his mother and Jiang Xuewu and quickly chased after her. This incident had a significant psychological impact on Nie Qingcheng, and a sense of inferiority naturally arose.
Although Ming Xia didn't blame her and continued to love and cherish her, the seed of inferiority had slowly begun to sprout in Nie Qingcheng's heart. You Tong, who had always guarded Nie Qingcheng, watched Ming Xia and Nie Qingcheng's intimate moments, feeling both happy and pained. Early the next morning, Ming Xia arrived at Jiren Hospital with a bouquet of lilies.
Jiang Xuewu, who had thought Ming Xia came to thank her, felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her when she heard he was thanking her on Nie Qingcheng's behalf. Besides expressing gratitude, Ming Xia also wanted to ask Jiang Xuewu for help in solving a case. Because Jiang Xuewu was skilled, she was the best helper in assisting with the cracking of the baby trafficking ring.
Ming Xia had already stationed his men in advance at the hotel where the baby trafficking ring was hiding. To obtain sufficient evidence, he and Jiang Xuewu were to conduct a transaction with the baby trafficking ring under the guise of a married couple. The two arrived at the hotel, met with the traffickers, and proceeded to the designated room. Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Fang Yaqing from a distance. Fang Yaqing didn't know her son's plan.
Hearing the room number from afar, she thought her son and Jiang Xuewu were having an affair. So, she impersonated a police station operator and called Nie Qingcheng, informing her to meet Ming Xia in the hotel room. Fang Yaqing thought she could make Nie Qingcheng completely give up and end everything once and for all, but she didn't expect to cause a disaster. In the hotel room, the trafficker placed a baby boy into Jiang Xuewu's arms.
To stall for time, Jiang Xuewu intentionally asked various questions, from whether the baby was a boy or a girl, to whether it was good-looking. The traffickers sensed something was wrong; the couple in front of them didn't seem as excited as other couples seeing a child, but were just continuously asking questions. Just as Ming Xia was about to find an excuse to explain, he heard a knock on the door.
The trafficker opened a crack in the door, and seeing the woman outside was looking for Mr. Ming, quickly let her in. Ming Xia and Jiang Xuewu were both surprised to see Nie Qingcheng. Seeing that they had been exposed and that his men downstairs hadn't arrived yet, Ming Xia had no choice but to ask Jiang Xuewu to protect Nie Qingcheng and the child, while he dealt with the traffickers alone.
Members of the baby trafficking ring hiding in the inner room heard the commotion, rushed out, and began firing wildly. Bullets immediately flew everywhere in the room. Nie Qingcheng, holding the child, hid in a corner. Ming Xia and Jiang Xuewu were outnumbered and gradually began to lose ground. The child's cries attracted the gunmen's attention. Seeing Nie Qingcheng in danger, Ming Xia bravely shielded her, and a bullet struck his shoulder blade.
At this moment, a large group of police officers kicked open the door and brought the members of the baby trafficking ring under control. Seeing Nie Qingcheng safe, Ming Xia finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from the pain. At Jiren Hospital, Jiang Xuewu personally treated and bandaged Ming Xia. Fang Yaqing also rushed over. After knowing that her son was not seriously injured, she began to loudly scold Nie Qingcheng again.
The responsibility for burning work documents, offending the superior, and being shot and injured was all shifted onto Nie Qingcheng. At this point, Nie Qingcheng was completely flustered, truly believing that she only brought harm to Ming Xia. That night, Nie Qingcheng dreamt that a giant dragon separated her and Ming Xia, and no matter how hard Ming Xia fought, he couldn't defeat the dragon.
When she woke up from the dream, she saw the suit Ming Xia had given her hanging outside the window, being battered by the wind and rain. Before, she would have run to carefully dry and put away the suit. Now, she wouldn't do that; there was no need to keep something lost. Nie Qingcheng wrote a letter to Ming Xia overnight.
In the letter, she no longer held her previous hopes, stating that their family backgrounds and experiences were too disparate, and the chasm between them was insurmountable. Nie Qingcheng proposed a breakup. After Ming Xia regained consciousness, he saw Nie Qingcheng's letter. He frantically rushed into the wind and rain, ran to Nie Qingcheng's doorstep, and desperately pounded on the door, wanting to see her. Nie Qingcheng blew a copper whistle, and You Tong swooped down.
To sever the ties of affection, Nie Qingcheng asked You Tong for help. She had to pretend to be a woman who was two-timing in front of Ming Xia. Hearing that Nie Qingcheng had chosen You Tong, Ming Xia returned to the hospital distraught. Under the dual blow of anger and pain, he fainted again. When Ming Xia woke up, he saw Jiang Xuewu sitting wearily in a chair by the bed, fast asleep.
Remembering that Nie Qingcheng had chosen You Tong and told him to marry Jiang Xuewu, who was a suitable match, a surge of anger rose in Ming Xia's heart. This anger made Ming Xia lose his rationality; he wanted to marry Jiang Xuewu and make Nie Qingcheng regret it. Jiang Xuewu also had her own pride; she didn't want to be someone else's substitute.
However, inwardly she accepted Ming Xia's request; even if Ming Xia still loved Nie Qingcheng, she was willing to marry him. Fang Yaqing finally achieved her goal. News of the marriage alliance between the Ming and Jiang families quickly appeared in the newspapers. Nie Rufeng and Nie Qingxin had originally intended to keep it from Nie Qingcheng, but the truth couldn't be concealed forever. Nie Qingcheng cried sadly, and You Tong decided to make her happy.
Roadside magic tricks made Nie Qingcheng temporarily forget her pain, and winning the horse race made her beam with joy even more. Only then did You Tong experience the joy of love.
