Earlier, Lyu Juncheng said something to Yu Xinyan, but because his voice was low and everyone was listening to Yao Hui, no one heard it clearly. But now Yu Xinyan’s words were loud and clear.
With her pitiful appearance, no one would suspect she did it on purpose. Everyone thought she was heartbroken, which is why she chose to let go, and everyone present assumed that Lyu Juncheng must have threatened her.
Lyu Juncheng didn’t expect Yu Xinyan to pull such a move, but considering that she’s just a simple village girl, she probably had no ulterior motives, and must truly be hurt by today’s events.
Anyhow, whether it’s Lyu Juncheng or the crowd watching, they all thought the same thing; Yu Xinyan’s goal was achieved.
As Yao Hui was persistent and Yu Xinyan was so kind-hearted that she wanted to fulfill the love between the two, Lyu Juncheng didn’t want to affect his work and still dreamed of taking the director’s position by the end of the year, Mrs. Yao had no choice but to stop her attempts to interfere.
So the result came quickly, Yu Xinyan decisively chose to divorce. No matter what Lyu Juncheng thought, he couldn’t shake off the title of a scumbag.
To calm this farce and give the Yao Family an explanation, Lyu Juncheng promised that after divorcing Yu Xinyan today, he would register with Yao Hui.
This was, of course, Yao Hui’s demand. She was afraid that dragging on might cause trouble and she wanted to force Lyu Juncheng to make a statement on the spot, and plan to set up a few tables in the staff canteen over the weekend, inviting friends to witness.
Seeing things settled, Yao Hui, who still couldn’t hold it in, spoke up: "Since everything is decided, there’s one more thing we need to clarify while the leaders are here."
Yu Xinyan thought: Here it comes, it’s finally coming.
She only heard Yao Hui say: "Previously, when my brother-in-law, oh no, when Juncheng and Yu Xinyan were engaged, it was agreed that the Yu Family borrowed two hundred yuan from the Lyu Family as the betrothal gift.
Now that they’re breaking up, and everyone knows Yu Xinyan hasn’t even stepped into this home, she and I, with Juncheng, are innocent, and let’s leave everything else aside, but the betrothal gift must be fully returned."
Yu Xinyan looked at Yao Hui with a slight smile: "It’s true that my adoptive parents borrowed two hundred yuan from the Lyu Family for my younger brother Yu Shuiliang’s medical treatment. Later, when Lyu Juncheng returned to the village for the engagement, both families agreed I would marry him, and the two hundred yuan would be considered the betrothal gift."
Everyone present felt sympathetic upon hearing Yu Xinyan’s words, assuming she meant: ’This has nothing to do with her, they should ask her adoptive parents.’
Yao Hui wasn’t having it: "Don’t think you can say it’s not related to you and try to fool us."
But Yu Xinyan responded sarcastically: "Even though my adoptive parents didn’t treat me well, they did raise me, and that two hundred yuan was spent on treating my brother. Even if we ask them to pay it back now, they wouldn’t be able to."
Everyone held their breath, wanting to hear what Yu Xinyan would say next.
Yu Xinyan gave a bitter smile: "So, consider this money as something I borrowed from Lyu Juncheng. Give me some time, and I’ll pay it all back to him."
Yao Hui scoffed: "You speak nicely, but how will you pay it back?"
She let out a slight ’hmph’, and sarcastically said: "Don’t think you can delay, and this matter will just disappear. Money doesn’t grow on trees."
Previously, Zhang Meilian tried for a long time to scatter the crowd, but everyone’s gossiping hearts were burning like roaring flames, and there was no way they would leave obediently. Now the crowd outside hadn’t decreased and had actually grown.
Hearing Yao Hui’s aggressive words, Jiao Sini, standing in the crowd, was the first to stand up. She was late and just figured out what had happened. She also recognized that the bullied young wife was the one who saved her son yesterday. How could she not help?
