If she had not transmigrated here, Gu Chuan would not only have had his reputation completely ruined, but would also have had to pay compensation. If the matter had gotten out, Gu Chuan would have faced being expelled from the military, and there was even a chance he could have been executed by firing squad.
So, for Lu Zhangran and Zhao Yumei to come up with such a sinister and despicable method was truly vicious!
What was laughable was that the Original Owner had actually agreed to help them!
She really had no idea what was inside that head of hers!
Being lovesick was an illness. It needed to be treated!
……
Gu Chuan’s house was at the foot of the back mountain of Hongqi Brigade. There was only his house in the surrounding area, standing all alone there, as though it had been forgotten by the world.
The setting sun had completely disappeared behind the mountain, and the thick darkness of night came enveloping them.
The two walked side by side along the field ridge at night. A gentle breeze blew slowly, dispersing the scorching heat of the day and bringing with it wisps of coolness.
Gu Chuan escorted Fang Xinyao to the entrance of Educated Youth Residence. It was the first time he had felt that the road from his house to Educated Youth Residence was actually so short!
It had ended before they had even walked for a few minutes……
He looked somewhat reluctant to part as he gazed at Fang Xinyao and said: “Educated Youth Fang, we’re here.”
Fang Xinyao nodded at him with a smile. “Gu Chuan, since we’ll be husband and wife from now on, you don’t have to call me Educated Youth Fang. It sounds too distant. Just call me Xinyao, or you can call me Yaoyao.”
Gu Chuan’s face flushed slightly. “Yaoyao.”
The girl’s nickname lingered between his lips, and it sounded so pleasant to his ears. The heart beneath his chest, which he had thought would never beat again, suddenly began pounding.
Fang Xinyao smiled and said: “It’s getting late. You should go back and rest early too. See you tomorrow.”
“Yaoyao, go inside.”
Fang Xinyao smiled gently. “It’s fine. You go. I’ll watch you leave, and then I’ll go inside.”
Gu Chuan waved his hand at her. “All right, see you tomorrow.”
Only after watching Gu Chuan’s figure disappear from sight did Fang Xinyao turn around and walk into the courtyard of Educated Youth Residence.
Suddenly, someone rushed out from the side, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her aside.
Fang Xinyao let out a startled cry. When she raised her head, she came face-to-face with Lu Zhangran’s slightly fair and handsome features. He looked refined and scholarly, so it was no wonder he had completely captivated the Original Owner.
Zhao Yumei was standing beside him.
Fang Xinyao unhappily shook off his hand. “Educated Youth Lu, men and women should keep their distance.”
Lu Zhangran stood outside the courtyard wall with both hands in his pockets. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, a trace of impatience appearing in his eyes, along with a hint of accusation in his tone. “Why didn’t you do as we agreed just now?”
Zhao Yumei spoke in a resentful and furious tone. “Exactly, Yaoyao. We clearly agreed beforehand. Why didn’t you follow our arrangement? You even caused me to be reprimanded by the Brigade Leader, and now I have to write a thousand-word self-criticism!”
Fang Xinyao was utterly speechless. She had not expected these two to still refuse to give up and actually wait here for her!
“Slap!”
A crisp sound rang out.
Fang Xinyao raised her hand and directly slapped Zhao Yumei across the face.
“Zhao Yumei, you drugged the water I drank. Did you really think I didn’t know?”
Caught completely off guard, Zhao Yumei had never expected Fang Xinyao to simply attack without warning. For a moment, she failed to react and was directly given a resounding slap across the face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhangran froze. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yumei in astonishment.
The three of them had agreed beforehand that they would only drug Gu Chuan’s water, then have Fang Xinyao enter Gu Chuan’s house and pretend that she had been forced.
If Gu Chuan wanted to avoid being executed by firing squad, he would have no choice but to obediently produce five hundred yuan as compensation.
But he had never expected Zhao Yumei to have drugged Fang Xinyao’s water as well.
Although he did not love Fang Xinyao, she was his admirer, and she was also very beautiful, with fair skin. Yet now, she had been slept with by Gu Chuan!
All of this had been caused by Zhao Yumei!
For a moment, Lu Zhangran could not describe the feeling in his heart. It was as though the cabbage he had planted himself had been ravaged by a pig.
If he had known this would happen, he would have made the first move himself.
Lu Zhangran felt a wave of regret, and the look he gave Fang Xinyao also carried a trace of disgust.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yumei panicked in her heart and hurriedly said: “Zhangran, don’t listen to her nonsense. I didn’t……”
“Zhao Yumei, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!” Fang Xinyao let out a cold laugh. “If this matter gets exposed, just wait to go to prison!”
Two crocodile tears squeezed out of Zhao Yumei’s eyes. She spoke pitifully: “Yaoyao, I didn’t…… You really misunderstood me……”
“How about I take my cup to the hospital and have it tested?”
Zhao Yumei was rendered speechless. Tears streamed down her face as she put on an expression that was both self-reproachful and pitiful. “I’m sorry, Yaoyao. I must have accidentally put the wrong thing in it when I was panicking…… Yaoyao, did you really do those things with Gu Chuan?”
“What the hell does it have to do with you!”
Fang Xinyao did not want to see this pair of shameless lovers, so she turned around and was about to leave, only to have Lu Zhangran block her path.
Lu Zhangran held out his hand toward her. “Give me the money first.”
Fang Xinyao frowned. “What money?”
Lu Zhangran said: “We agreed beforehand that you would find a way to get five hundred yuan in compensation from Gu Chuan. Now that you’re dating him, he should have given all the money to you, right?”
The moment Fang Xinyao heard this, a trace of disgust flashed through her eyes. “Lu Zhangran, you’re a grown man. If you want money, can’t you figure out a way to get it yourself? You actually made a woman sell her looks for you. You really can bring yourself to do such a thing! Even freeloading off a woman isn’t supposed to be done like this! Bah!”
Fang Xinyao looked at him with undisguised disdain and disgust, cursing him without holding anything back.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhangran’s eyes widened in disbelief, and his face was filled with shock.
What had she said?
She had actually said that he was freeloading off a woman?
Lu Zhangran felt as though his lungs were about to explode with anger. His face suddenly darkened, and his expression filled with fury. “Fang Xinyao, say that again if you have the guts!”
Fang Xinyao planted both hands on her cheeks and said disdainfully: “I’ll say it again, then! Lu Zhangran, you useless coward, you want to eat a woman’s food without even having the ability to do it properly! No way!”
“You!”
Lu Zhangran was so furious that his entire body began trembling. In all the years he had lived, this was the first time he had ever been pointed at and cursed out by a woman like this!
No man could stand it!
Lu Zhangran’s face turned livid, his eyes became fierce, and he raised his hand to grab Fang Xinyao by the hair.
Fang Xinyao seized his wrist, swiftly twisted it behind his back, and at the same time kicked out, striking the back of Lu Zhangran’s knee.
Lu Zhangran immediately let out a scream and dropped to one knee on the ground, completely restrained by her.
Fang Xinyao felt immensely fortunate in her heart. In her previous life, because she had been a woman living alone, she had learned some fighting techniques for self-protection. She had never expected them to actually come in handy.
“Lu Zhangran, I’m telling you, if you dare provoke me again in the future, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Zhao Yumei, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
Was this really the same Fang Xinyao who had been so weak that she could barely take care of herself?
The Fang Xinyao of the past not only could not curse at people, but even spoke in a soft and timid voice. Her strength was astonishingly weak as well. She could not even lift a bucket of water, otherwise she would not have been manipulated so easily by her and Lu Zhangran.
But what about the Fang Xinyao now?
Her voice was loud, her speech was quick and sharp, and she even resorted to hitting people!
She was simply ruthlessly vicious!
