The Lu family had been sent down to work at the cattle shed, and the Wang family truly did not want to have anything to do with them. They were afraid that associating with the Lu family would drag their own family down.
Although there was a good chance that the Lu family would eventually be vindicated and return to the city, the situation was still unclear. The Wang family did not want to take that risk by getting too close to them.
However, Wang Yanan had been reborn. She knew exactly what would happen in the future.
Because of this, she had even fallen out with her family.
Looking at Lu Yuanxing with a pitiful expression, she said, “Brother Yuanxing, I completely fell out with my family for your sake. If you marry this woman, what am I supposed to do?”
Lu Yuanxing felt increasingly irritated.
He didn’t like Li Susu, but he disliked Wang Yanan even more.
The way Wang Yanan put it made it sound as though he had betrayed her.
Li Susu looked at Wang Yanan’s aggrieved expression and said bluntly, “Oh, don’t cry. Lu Yuanxing never asked you to fall out with your family. What, are you going to blame someone else for something you chose to do yourself?”
Wang Yanan was stunned by her words.
Even Lu Yuanxing, who was usually cold and composed, was taken aback.
Wang Yanan had said things like this to him many times before. Although he had always felt uncomfortable hearing them, he had never known how to refute her.
But Li Susu was right!
Wang Yanan had made that decision herself. How could she blame him for it?
He couldn’t help agreeing, “What Li Susu said is right!”
For a moment, Wang Yanan was at a loss for words.
She stood there blankly. “But… but…”
Li Susu was starting to lose patience. “But what? Wang Yanan, you’re an unmarried woman. Why do you keep clinging to the father of my child? Can’t you tell that Lu Yuanxing doesn’t have those kinds of feelings for you?”
Wang Yanan had still been at a loss a moment ago, but Li Susu’s words instantly drove her into a rage.
“The father of your child? You must have used some dirty trick! Otherwise, Brother Yuanxing wouldn’t even look at you!”
Li Susu touched her own face and smiled confidently.
“I’m this beautiful. If he doesn’t look at me, who is he supposed to look at? You?”
Wang Yanan was rendered speechless.
Lu Yuanxing, who had been watching the two women bicker, felt a headache coming on.
“Enough. The blood test results won’t be ready for another two days. Li Susu, let’s go home first.”
With that, he strode out with his long legs.
Li Susu followed behind him.
Seeing that she had been completely ignored, Wang Yanan felt extremely miserable.
Before Li Susu could leave, she saw Ma Bowen, a male educated youth from the youth settlement, walking in with Xu Mei.
Xu Mei kept scratching herself. There were even a few scratch marks on her face.
When Xu Mei saw Li Susu, she was somewhat surprised.
“Susu, what are you doing here?”
Seeing that she couldn’t avoid Xu Mei, Li Susu had no choice but to face her. She deliberately put on a surprised expression.
“Sister Xu Mei, what happened to you?”
Xu Mei looked dejected.
“I might have been bitten by a spider at your house earlier. My whole body has been unbearably itchy. Doctor Liu couldn’t do anything about it, so I had no choice but to come to town to get it checked.”
Li Susu immediately put on a concerned expression.
“That’s right. That spider looked poisonous to me. Sister Xu Mei, you mustn’t scratch your face. If you scratch it up, you could ruin your looks!”
At those words, Xu Mei’s face turned pale.
She had already scratched her face several times earlier.
It was simply too itchy. She couldn’t stand it without scratching.
Seeing Xu Mei’s expression, Li Susu sneered inwardly.
This was only the beginning, and she was already unable to bear it?
It would get even worse later.
In her previous life, the original Li Susu had been sent to the northwest, and Xu Mei had played no small part in it.
This could be considered a small repayment on behalf of the original owner.
There was still a long road ahead. Xu Mei would have plenty to suffer in the future.
Xu Mei scratched herself several more times. When she saw Li Susu’s clean and beautiful face, jealousy began to burn fiercely in her heart.
“By the way, why are you here? Are you sick?”
Li Susu pointed toward Lu Yuanxing, who was standing nearby.
“I came here with Lu Yuanxing. We’re getting married soon!”
Xu Mei followed the direction of her finger and looked over.
Lu Yuanxing stood there calmly.
There was neither happiness nor displeasure on his face. His deep eyes were unreadable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
“What? You’re getting married?” Xu Mei screamed, completely forgetting about the itching on her body.
Li Susu frowned slightly.
“Yes, we’re getting married. Sister Xu Mei, aren’t you happy for me?”
Xu Mei hurriedly changed her expression and forced a smile.
“Yes, congratulations! You finally got what you wanted. But… if you’re getting married, why did you come to the hospital?”
At that moment, Wang Yanan, who had just walked over from behind them, interrupted.
“Because this shameless woman is pregnant!”
The moment those words fell, Xu Mei froze as though she had been struck by lightning.
She had already been shocked when Li Susu said she was getting married.
But now she was hearing that it was a shotgun wedding.
When had Li Susu slept with Lu Yuanxing?
How had she not known anything about it?
So this Li Susu wasn’t as useless as she appeared. She had actually managed to get together with Lu Yuanxing behind her back.
But with the way she had done Li Susu’s makeup, making her look absolutely hideous, how could Lu Yuanxing possibly have taken a liking to her?
Li Susu was certainly no pushover.
It was all because she had been careless!
After saying that, Wang Yanan stepped forward. But the moment she saw Xu Mei, she was stunned.
Wasn’t this Xu Mei—the woman who had become Lu Yuanxing’s wife in her previous life?
Back then, when she had seen Xu Mei in the city, Wang Yanan had been extremely dissatisfied.
Xu Mei looked like an ordinary rural woman. How could someone like her possibly become Lu Yuanxing’s wife?
Wang Yanan had been utterly unwilling to accept it.
She never expected to see Xu Mei here!
Xu Mei grabbed Wang Yanan’s arm and asked uncertainly, “Who did you say was pregnant?”
Wang Yanan gave a cold laugh.
“Li Susu, of course! Didn’t expect that, did you?”
It was as though all the strength had been drained from Xu Mei’s body.
Her entire demeanor visibly collapsed.
Seeing her reaction, Wang Yanan felt an intense sense of satisfaction.
In this life, although she hadn’t managed to get Lu Yuanxing, Xu Mei hadn’t gotten him either.
Her own failure might have been humiliating, but seeing someone else fail made her feel comforted—even excited.
Li Susu couldn’t understand why Wang Yanan seemed so delighted to see Xu Mei.
Could it be that she knew Xu Mei?
“Wang Yanan, do you know Xu Mei?”
Wang Yanan hurriedly shook her head.
“No, I don’t. I just heard you talking to her, so I answered for you.”
Li Susu looked at Wang Yanan’s panicked denial. Although she felt somewhat suspicious, she didn’t pursue the matter.
Then she remembered that she still hadn’t found an opportunity to drug Wang Yanan.
She turned to Lu Yuanxing and said, “Why don’t you go back first? I want to buy a few things in town before we leave.”
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanxing replied, “You’re pregnant now. To be safe, I’ll stay and accompany you.”
Li Susu nodded.
“All right, then.”
With Lu Yuanxing staying by her side, it wouldn’t be so easy to drug Wang Yanan.
Wang Yanan and Xu Mei both felt miserable when they saw how harmonious Lu Yuanxing and Li Susu seemed together.
Meanwhile, the itching on Xu Mei’s body seemed to have become even worse.
She couldn’t help scratching herself all over.
Even Wang Yanan couldn’t help taking several steps backward when she saw her.
