Including the guy, everyone watching was a bit caught off guard; how did the female classmate’s attitude suddenly flip?
Xinyan also found it curious; just moments ago, her face was so sincere, her tone pleading, yet suddenly her attitude changed.
While everyone was puzzled, a male classmate squeezed through the crowd, standing in front, frowning at the tense situation: "Fang Lirong, what’s going on?"
The female classmate, who was referred to by the guy as Fang Lirong, upon hearing the question, closed her eyes and exhaled lightly before opening them: "Just as you see."
The male classmate frowned in confusion: "What do you mean, just as I see?"
Fang Lirong seemed agitated, shouting loudly: "Xu Xiangdong, back then, your family clearly could’ve helped me find a job and let me stay in the city so we could marry easily.
But what did your family do? For the sake of some so-called friend’s daughter, you gave away the spot that was meant for me and forced me to go to the countryside, even deceiving me that somehow you’d find a way to get me back to the city.
Yet what did you actually do? Let me stay in the rural area for five years when it’s so tough there; I can’t even manage farming, and I almost got sick and died several times in the countryside.
What could I do? To survive, I could only marry someone local."
Her words made it clear to everyone.
Fang Lirong was probably trying to keep the rural guy calm, hence her previous gentle attitude.
But seeing her former fiancé from the city show up, knowing she couldn’t hide the truth, she suddenly stopped caring and prepared to let it all go.
Someone in the crowd asked: "Who is this guy?"
Someone in the know replied: "Previously, Fang Lirong introduced him as her fiancé."
With that, everyone’s gossiping interest flared up like wildfire.
Then, that rough guy with bloodshot eyes stared at Fang Lirong: "What do you mean by what you just said?"
Fang Lirong directly replied cynically: "Just what you heard."
She pointed at Xu Xiangdong: "Before I went to the countryside, I was engaged to this man. Getting married to him would have meant not going to the countryside, but back then they used some family incident as an excuse, postponing the wedding.
Later they reassured me, saying they’d find me a job.
With a job, I wouldn’t have to go to the countryside, and I was joyfully imagining the future.
But the next day I was told the spot had to be given up to a daughter of a family friend, and our neighborhood was already going door to door mobilizing for countryside registration.
I had no choice; plus, their family guaranteed me that they’d try to bring me back to the city quickly, which was why I went to the countryside."
She paused at this point, staring intently at Xu Xiangdong: "But apart from sending me some money and things every few months, you never mentioned bringing me back to the city."
Xu Xiangdong’s face was very displeased: "Even if you resent me, you can’t hide the fact that you got married in the countryside, can you?"
The family is now preparing for their wedding, but now they’re told she couldn’t hold out in the countryside and got married; isn’t this playing the Xu Family?
Fang Lirong hysterically cried: "If not for you, I wouldn’t have married in the countryside."
But before they could clear things up, the rough guy moved first, taking out a knife from his pocket and lunging at Fang Lirong.
Fang Lirong was clever, sensing something was wrong, she got up and moved into the crowd, pulling up the female classmate standing at the front and pushing her out; the woman hadn’t reacted yet, and screams erupted from the crowd nearby.
