Madam Wu did not think that her eldest son would be so sharp-witted as to place the blame on the two strangers. All their contradictions had been flipped and the focus had been shifted. After coming back to her senses, she hurriedly cried out.
“Folks, some of you are not from the village so you would not have known! While my daughter used to be a fool, she grew up looking decent! No, she was very beautiful. These two must have appeared from somewhere after she was longer stupid and led my daughter astray. Oh, my poor daughter is probably now a slave to these two. Used by them both every day and night… Boohoohoo, I can’t talk about it anymore. I just feel like crying whenever I think about what my poor daughter might have become! As for my grandchildren, it is also possible that they have been imprisoned by these two to be slaves ever since.”
“I’m sure of it. My sister returned to the village half a month ago and hasn’t shown up ever since the construction of this house began. They say they’re building the house for her but how is this possible for a client to not show up at all? So these two must have bought the land and built a house in the village by using my sister’s residence permit! My sister is definitely locked up by these two by now!” Qi Yuancheng took this opportunity to add on.
When all the good-hearted people, including the villagers, heard Madam Wu’s cries, they once again looked toward the two men in front of them. At that moment, they believed everything. These two looked more like the sons of some government official rather than one of the locals! They had heard others say that while children of government officials in the metropolitan area were all handsome and modest characters, the truth was also that they were harlots! They were sure that these two were the same.
The poor, beautiful but foolish village girl had been tricked out of her innocence by these city dwellers, and they had even used her for money!
“So these two tricked someone’s daughter, how shameless.”
“They are too inhuman to have actually hoodwinked this girl who used to be a fool.”
“Oh, the Qi family are so pitiful. Not only did they lose their daughter, but she had even been tricked out of her fortune and into sex by these pieces of scum.”
…
A storm brewed in Si Jin’s eyes.
He parted his red lips slightly and his voice was as thin as silk.
“Qi Yuancheng, you’re so full of lies, be careful not to get struck by lightning.”
Qi Yuancheng looked at the youth’s dim expression. He thought that the boy was becoming anxious now and felt even more proud of himself. “Who are you trying to deceive? And asking me to be careful of lightning? Why don’t you watch after yourself, you liar. Be careful with your lies lest your entire family meets their demise!”
After saying this, Qi Yuancheng and the rest of the people from the old Qi family also started to become more confident in themselves.
This was because, in their eyes, Qi Qingyao used to be a fool and while she was no longer one, that just meant she was at most an ordinary person now. How could she have the wits and initiative to cut off all ties with the Qi family? Even if they had been the ones who brought up the idea of cutting ties, with Qi Qingyao’s former mindset, she would only definitely cry and wail about not wanting to have that happen. This was common sense.
Right, they had suspected back then that Qi Qingyao had some sort of indecent relationship with this outstanding individual. From the looks of it now, this person had actually been using their pure and honest eleventh daughter!
That was definitely the case.
Qi Yuancheng could not hold back the anger he felt when he thought about how the fool of a cash cow had been used by others.
He pointed at Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin’s nose and said, “People who have tricked my sister should just die.”
In a flash.
Boom!
Muffled thunder sounded from the skies in an explosive burst.
The onlookers who had been watching this fiasco were startled, as were the people from the old Qi family. They could not help looking up to the sky.
‘What was going on? Why is there thunder all of a sudden?’
