Chapter 16: Liking Meng Chuyue

Zhao Aihua had arrived at the small grove earlier than Wu Yuanchun and Meng Jingfen, so she saw the whole scene.

She understood that Wu Yuanchun had been tricked by Meng Jingfen.

Wu Yuanchun was fond of Meng Chuyue.

She also saw unmistakably how shamelessly Meng Jingfen tried to seduce Wu Yuanchun, and how desperately Wu Yuanchun resisted.

Even though he had already prepared to call off the engagement, such shameless behavior from Meng Jingfen still filled him with fear and trepidation: Damn it, Meng Jingfen was lucky to be a woman; had she been a man, she would have been a huge disaster.

His original plan was to catch them in the act after Wu Yuanchun and Meng Jingfen had done the deed, so that he could truly get his revenge on Meng Jingfen.

But he hadn't expected that several youngsters would stumble upon the scene and spoil Meng Jingfen's plans.

However, this was enough for him to call off the engagement with Meng Jingfen.

Worried that Meng Jingfen would run back home and stubbornly deny everything, he quickly turned on the flashlight in his hand and dashed over to grab her. At the same time, he shouted to Wu Yuanchun, "Wu Yuanchun, come over here. You and I will go to the Meng family to demand an explanation. Don't worry, I saw everything just now. You were tricked by her, and she has been seducing you all along. You're the victim."

Wu Yuanchun was both embarrassed and angry at that moment, and he had braced himself for his reputation to be tarnished. However, he hadn't expected this turn of events and decided to follow Zhao Aihua's advice.

The youngsters, who were about to leave, heard there was a follow-up and followed with flushed faces.

They finally saw clearly that the shameless woman they had guessed was indeed Meng Jingfen.

Meng Chuyue didn't know the exact situation in the small grove, but after hearing the shouting, she stepped out to look. Discovering that the commotion was bigger than it had been in the past life, she knew that the deed was done.

She revealed a joyful smile, went back to her room to drink a cup of tea, and waited to watch the fun.

She knew that Zhao Aihua would definitely bring Meng Jingfen to the Meng Family home; without any haste, she calmly waited in the house.

Before long, laughter, curses, jubilant laughter, and cries arrived at the door of the Meng Family, followed by the sounds of the other Meng family members frantically opening the door and going out.

After all the members of the Meng Family had gone out, Meng Chuyue followed cautiously.

The entrance of the Meng family was brightly lit, but it was all flashlight beams.

Almost all the adults in the village had come, and some children had sneaked over as well. They were scolded by their respective families but still stubbornly lingered.

Zhao Aihua had been silently enduring the whole time.

It was the parents of the boys who had been shooting birds that were doing the cussing, repeating the same accusations as in the past life: They were heartbroken that their children encountered such misfortune and worried that the kids would pick up bad habits.

Only when Zhao Aihua saw Fu Hongfang and Meng Jingfen's father, Meng Jinhua, did he finally speak out vehemently, "Uncle Meng, Aunt Fu, I demand an explanation for today's events."

The Meng family, already aware of the cause of the commotion due to the villagers' heated discussions, was both ashamed and enraged, their faces alternating between red and pale.

Fu Hongfang, who was quite a tough character, despite her intention to reform, had to first worry about her family's dignity. She glared angrily at Wu Yuanchun: "Aihua, you can't blame our Fenfen for this. Our Fenfen has always been a good girl. She must have been forced by Wu Yuanchun today."

Her accusation wasn't too outrageous to hear.

With Wu Yuanchun's tall stature and being a man, to say he had plans to harm Meng Jingfen wasn't entirely unfounded.

Wu Yuanchun still had a scrambled brain, not knowing what to say.

But Zhao Aihua came through.

Even though Wu Yuanchun was his rival in love, Wu Yuanchun was so poor and was too timid when confessing to Meng Chuyue. Zhao Aihua didn't see him as a threat.

He didn't mind helping each other out.
