Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Liking Meng Chuyue Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Liking Meng Chuyue Zhao Aihua had arrived at the grove before Wu Yuanchun and Meng Jingfen, so he witnessed the whole scene.
He understood that Wu Yuanchun had been lured there by Meng Jingfen.
Wu Yuanchun was actually in love with Meng Chuyue.
He saw, unmistakenly, how shamelessly Meng Jingfen seduced Wu Yuanchun, who was desperately resisting.
Even though he was already prepared to break off the engagement, the shameless Meng Jingfen still scared him to death: shit, Meng Jingfen is lucky to be a woman, if she were a man, she’d be a real disaster.
His original plan was to catch them in the act after Wu Yuanchun and Meng Jingfen consummated, and by that, he would have his true revenge on Meng Jingfen.
However, he hadn’t expected that a few young men would also stumble over, ruining Meng Jingfen’s scheme.
But still, that was enough for him to call off the engagement with Meng Jingfen.
Worried that Meng Jingfen would deny everything once she escaped home, he quickly turned on the flashlight in his hand, sprinted over and grabbed her, meanwhile yelling to Wu Yuanchun, “Wu Yuanchun, come here, come with me to Meng Family to demand an explanation, you can rest assured, I saw everything just now, you were deceived by her, and she was the one seducing you all along, you are the victim.”
At this moment, Wu Yuanchun felt both embarrassed and furious, and was resigned to his ruined reputation, but he didn’t expect this turn of events and after a moment of thought, decided to follow Zhao Aihua’s suggestion.
The few young men who were about to leave, upon hearing that there was more to follow, blushed and followed.
They finally saw clearly that the shameless woman was indeed Meng Jingfen, as they had guessed.
Meng Chuyue didn’t know the specific situation in the grove, but after hearing the shouting, she went outside to see and realized that the commotion this time was bigger than in her previous life, indicating that things had played out.
She revealed a joyful smile, returned to her room, drank a cup of tea, and waited to watch the drama unfold.
She knew Zhao Aihua would definitely bring Meng Jingfen to the Meng Family, so she didn’t rush out in a panic, waiting quietly inside the house.
Before long, all kinds of laughter, taunts, giggles, and cries reached the front of Meng Family’s house, followed by the sounds of other members of the Meng Family hurriedly opening the door to go out.
When all the people of Meng Family had gone out, Meng Chuyue then carefully followed them outside.
The Meng Family’s doorway was brightly lit, but all from flashlights.
Almost all the adults from the village had come, and some children had also sneaked in, scolded by their parents but still stubbornly hanging around.
Meng Jingfen’s pink dress was crumpled and dirty due to Zhao Aihua’s ferocious dragging, yet Zhao Aihua still did not let go of her arm.
Zhao Aihua remained silent.
The ones shouting were the parents of the young bird hunters, repeating the same blame as in the past life: heartbroken for their children encountering such misfortune, worried about them learning bad behaviors.
Until he saw Fu Hongfang and Meng Jingfen’s father, Meng Jinhua, Zhao Aihua finally burst out, “Uncle Meng, Aunt Fu, you have to give me an explanation for today’s incident.”
The Meng Family, already aware of the cause of the matter amid the village gossip, were both embarrassed and furious, their faces flushing and blanching by turns.
Fu Hongfang, being a tough character, although she intended to mend her ways, could only concern herself with saving face for her family at this time; she glared fiercely at Wu Yuanchun: “Aihua, you can’t blame our Fenfen for this, our Fenfen has always been a good child, she must have been forced by Wu Yuanchun today.”
Her words didn’t seem too unreasonable.
With Wu Yuanchun being tall and male, accusing him of harassing Meng Jingfen didn’t sound far-fetched.
Wu Yuanchun still felt muddled and didn’t know what to say.
But Zhao Aihua was powerful, alright.
Even though Wu Yuanchun was his rival in love, Wu Yuanchun was so poor, and being shy about confessing to Meng Chuyue, he was too timid, and Zhao Aihua didn’t fear him.
He didn’t mind helping each other out.
