Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Super Explosive
Zhao Aihua snorted coldly, "I just saw it; it was Meng Jingfen who tricked Wu Yuanchun over, and she's been seducing him all along. Wu Yuanchun was unmoved. If you don't believe me, ask the several witnesses whether Wu Yuanchun's clothes were properly on or not?"
Among the four youths bird hunting, only one was from the village, and the others were from the city. They had greater exposure and thus, were bolder.
One of them recalled and said, "Yes, I remember his clothes were properly on. I even heard him shouting 'get lost' or something before."
Another said, "Right, we went over because we heard him shouting like that."
"Right, right, exactly like that."
…
Everyone: "..."
The villagers: "..."
So scandalous.
My gosh, is Meng Jingfen so shameless?
Everyone began to talk, describing Meng Jingfen as worthless.
The Meng Family, except for Meng Chuyue, all had faces flushed red, with Fu Hongfang even gasping in anger.
She was naturally competitive and had done many shameless things in the past, but she always had a grand excuse for them.
Today, however, she racked her brains and couldn't come up with a plausible reason, only feeling a headache.
After a while, she said, "What you're saying isn't right. You say Wu Yuanchun was tricked by our Fenfen, but how did she trick him? Wu Yuanchun isn't stupid; he can't be that easy to fool. You must be lying."
Zhao Tianzhi, reminded by this, also questioned Zhao Aihua loudly, "And you, Aihua, why did you suddenly come here? Tell us, was all this planned by you? Is it because your family has money now and you look down on our Jingfen, setting this trap to break off the engagement?"
Zhao Aihua's family had made a fortune selling poultry over the past few years. The Meng Family both reveled in their glory and trembled in fear, dreading a broken engagement.
Wu Yuanchun had been sneaking glances at Meng Chuyue, always worried that revealing the reason for his visit to the woods would tarnish her reputation.
Wu Yuanchun had many reservations, but Zhao Aihua had none.
He didn't mind letting everyone know that Wu Yuanchun liked Meng Chuyue.
He felt that if Meng Chuyue had some blemishes, it would be easier for him to marry her.
Without hesitation, he said, "I heard everything just now. The reason Wu Yuanchun went to the woods was that Meng Jingfen tricked him by saying she would bring Chuyue along. Wu Yuanchun wanted to ask Chuyue if she would agree if he sent someone to propose to her."
Everyone: "..."
Seeing that it was revealed, Wu Yuanchun, knowing there was no turning back, simply said, "Brother Zhao is telling the truth, that's exactly what happened. I just didn't expect Meng Jingfen to deceive me and be so... shameless."
Zhao Aihua sneered, "As for why I'm here? It's because someone told me that Meng Jingfen often meets secretly with others here and marrying her would make me a complete fool. I thought it was someone lying to play a prank on me, but now I see that person is my savior. Grandpa Meng, Uncle Meng, things have come to this, let's call off the engagement between our families."
With his final words, the hitherto defiant Meng Jingfen finally fainted.
The villagers: "..."
Meng Jingfen is something else; if they were her, they would have pretended to faint much earlier.
Ugh! They would never do something so shameless as to pretend to faint.
Meng Jingfen fainted, and the Meng Family hurried to help her, and the crowd dispersed like that.
Zhao Aihua also immediately left. Before leaving, he dropped a sentence, "Tomorrow I'll have my grandfather and father come to your house to discuss the details of breaking off the engagement."
The crowd thought this was about discussing the betrothal gifts, but little did they know, Zhao Aihua was looking to switch fiancées.
