Liang Bo suddenly erupted like a furious mad dog.
“It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t deliberately seduced me, how could things have ended up like this!”
Bai Ruolian looked at Liang Bo in shock, never expecting him to push all the blame onto her.
“Brother Liang, how can you say that about me? Clearly you were the one who didn’t like Song Yunlan!
You were the one who said you hated being called a pretty boy. I only sympathized with you at first! Clearly ”
Before she could finish, Liang Bo cut her off sharply.
“Clearly what! Clearly you seduced me on purpose! Today in the grove, if you hadn’t deliberately provoked me, would I have lost control?!”
Hearing this, Bai Ruolian almost spat blood in anger. She had clearly tried her best to stop him it was Liang Bo who lacked self-control and got caught in the act.
Yet now he was shifting all the blame onto her.
At that moment, she felt like she could rush forward and bite him to death.
But she didn’t dare completely turn against Liang Bo, because right now he was her only hope.
Even without a job, so what? His family was well-off. She didn’t believe his parents would just watch their son and grandson suffer!
When the time came, they would surely find a way to bring them back to the city. Even if they couldn’t return immediately, they would at least send money, food coupons, and supplies!
“Brother Liang, you misunderstood me! I clearly warned you it was you who insisted. How can you blame me?”
Bai Ruolian said with red eyes, looking wronged. She knew Liang Bo loved her weak, pitiful appearance the most.
That expression perfectly satisfied his masculine ego.
“Brother Liang, I never wanted things to turn out like this! It’s all Song Yunlan’s fault! She must not have been willing to accept the broken engagement with you.
That’s why she deliberately came up with this plan to humiliate you. We clearly agreed before that the job position would be yours she must have interfered!”
To save herself, Bai Ruolian shamelessly pushed all the blame onto Song Yunlan, conveniently avoiding the incident of them being caught in the grove.
Hearing this, Liang Bo frowned. Thinking of Song Yunlan’s earlier attitude toward him, he felt an unclear mix of emotions.
“Song Yunlan? How could that be? Isn’t she about to marry Shen Zhiyan?”
These sour words sounded especially harsh to Bai Ruolian. Watching Liang Bo’s clueless expression, she clenched her fists.
If she had any better choice, she would never settle for such a self-righteous man.
“Brother Liang, you know I’m the person who loves you most in this world. How could I lie to you? You’re a man you don’t understand women.
You’re so outstanding, so good. How could Song Yunlan be willing to give you up so easily? Maybe she married Shen Zhiyan just to provoke you!
And this job incident maybe she’s using it to pressure you into giving in, so she can control you later!”
Hearing this, Liang Bo wavered. Seeing Bai Ruolian sitting on the ground, he felt a pang of pity and helped her up.
“Lian’er, I’m sorry. I acted impulsively. You’re right it must be Song Yunlan trying to play hard to get.
She’s trying to use a job to control me, but I won’t let her succeed. Don’t worry, I’ll go confront her right now!
I will definitely get the job back, and then I’ll marry you in glory, making all of Song Yunlan’s wishes fall apart!”
Seeing Liang Bo fully shift his anger and resentment onto Song Yunlan, Bai Ruolian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was exactly what she wanted to completely sever any possibility between Liang Bo and Song Yunlan.
After this, even if Liang Bo later realized his feelings, Song Yunlan would never forgive him.
Feeling the burning pain on her face, Bai Ruolian even imagined Liang Bo slapping Song Yunlan instead.
“Brother Liang, it’s already late. Why don’t we go back first? We still have to go to the commune to register our marriage tomorrow.”
Liang Bo shook his head.
“Things should be dealt with as soon as possible. I’m going to find Song Yunlan now and make her go to the brigade leader herself to get the position back. You…”
Looking at Bai Ruolian’s slightly swollen cheek, he added with some reluctance:
“You go home and rest first. I was too harsh today. After we register tomorrow, I’ll take you to the state-run restaurant for braised pork.”
Hearing this, Bai Ruolian subconsciously swallowed her saliva. It had been almost a month since she last had meat.
Around the 10th of each month, Song Yunlan would go to the commune to pick up parcels, and she and Liang Bo would always take leave to go with her and eat at the state-run restaurant.
By calculation, it was already the 7th it really was almost time for meat.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother Liang. Be careful. It’ll be the 10th soon, and Sister Song should also be sending money and coupons then.”
At this reminder, Liang Bo also remembered it was nearly time for packages from the capital.
“Alright, I know. Don’t worry. We’ll skip this month. Tomorrow at the commune, I’ll write home and tell them to send everything directly to us instead of Song Yunlan!”
Previously, to protect Liang Bo’s pride, half of the supplies she gave him were sent under the name of Liang’s parents.
This created the illusion for both Bai Ruolian and Liang Bo that those supplies truly came from his parents.
Little did they know, Liang Bo’s parents were currently in the northwest planting trees, barely able to take care of themselves how could they possibly support him?
After separating from Bai Ruolian, Liang Bo stormed toward Song Yunlan’s place.
Shen Zhiyan had just stepped out of the house when he saw a figure rapidly approaching from afar.
He quickly hid himself in the shadow of the trees.
Although he was already engaged to Song Yunlan, they were not yet married if someone saw him leaving her house so late, it would not look good.
But he didn’t expect the person coming to be that pretty boy Liang Bo.
Could it be that he regretted it?
Was he here to reconcile with Song Yunlan?
That was impossible Song Yunlan was his fiancée now!
Clenching his fist, Shen Zhiyan was about to step out to block him when Liang Bo suddenly moved first and knocked on the door.
He hesitated for a moment and retreated back into the shadows, his eyes still fixed tightly on Liang Bo.
Creak.
Song Yunlan opened the door in her small leather shoes.
She originally thought it was Shen Zhiyan returning for something, but instead saw Liang Bo standing outside.
Her smile instantly disappeared as she frowned.
“What are you doing here so late?”
Liang Bo glared at her angrily, the accusation bursting out immediately.
“Song Yunlan, did you do this on purpose? Did you sabotage my job to get revenge on me?
You think this will make me bow to you? Dream on!
I’m giving you one last chance go to the brigade leader right now and get my teaching position back. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!”
