"How can you expect me to remain calm after such a humiliating disgrace?" Lu Xiaoyun roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

Aunt Xu came to her senses and then, looking like she was enjoying the show, said, "Lu Xiaoyun, Xia Minglei, since you two grew up together, sit down and have a good talk about this. You can't let a woman ruin your brotherhood."

As she spoke, she gave Liang Zhaodi a mocking look. After something like this happened, most people assumed that it must have been the woman who seduced him, which is why the man made the mistake. It's really unfair.

Even though the woman is the victim, everyone is pushing the blame onto her.

Liang Zhaodi really didn't know what was going on tonight. She vaguely felt someone helping her to bed. She thought it was Lu Xiaoyun, after all, this was her and Lu Xiaoyun's home, and she also wanted to give Lu Xiaoyun another son, so she did not refuse.

She just didn't expect that the one who doted on her wasn't her husband.

"Aunt Xu, thank you for bringing me back." Lu Xiaoyun placed a can of malted milk powder in Aunt Xu's hand and instructed her, "Just pretend you didn't see what happened tonight, and don't talk about it. After all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. If you promise me, Aunt Xu, you can't spread rumors about us anymore, or don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"Of course, I promise I won't say a word about it to anyone." Aunt Xu said, looking at the malted milk powder in her hand. Lu Xiaoyun had just given her the whole jar of malted milk powder.

If she were lying, Lu Xiaoyun would probably take the malted milk powder back.

After Aunt Xu left, Lu Xiaoyun locked the courtyard gate and the house door, and then came back to the main room to negotiate with Xia Minglei.

"Xia Minglei, how do you plan to handle this? Although you're my brother, you've cheated on me. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll have Aunt Xu spread this around. You have no shame, so what do I, the victim, care about? Besides, people will sympathize with me and might advise me to get a divorce so I can find a better wife! As for you, you'll only have Liang Zhaodi left. Otherwise... think about what happened to Qian Liang, Xiao Gou, and Nie Xiulan. Do you think the Xia family can afford such a price?"

Xia Minglei naturally knew that neither the Xia family nor he could bear such a price, because he still had the mission of bringing glory to the Xia family. However, Xia Minglei also knew that he had to satisfy Lu Xiaoyun now so that Lu Xiaoyun would not pursue the matter.

“I have a thousand yuan and some coupons now. Can I give them to you? That way you can give your daughter a better life.” It wasn’t safe to leave the money and coupons at the educated youth settlement, so Xia Minglei always carried them with him. He took out the money and coupons and placed them in front of Lu Xiaoyun. “They’re all here. Count them. If you think it’s not enough, I’ll call home and ask them to send me more money. As long as it makes you happy and you don’t pursue this matter.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhaodi came out of the room, grabbed the money and tickets on the table, stuffed them into her clothes, and yelled at the two of them, "What about me? Did you even ask for my opinion? I'm the victim this time, not Lu Xiaoyun. Lu Xiaoyun, what gives you the right to make decisions for me?"

“Lu Xiaoyun, even if you don’t pursue this matter, I will.” Liang Zhaodi broke down in tears. “Xia Minglei, I don’t care whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, but you touched me, that’s a fact. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, don’t blame me for reporting you to the commune.”

Although he was drunk, Xia Minglei's mind was unusually clear at the time, which means that he did indeed touch Liang Zhaodi, and he still can't help but relive that feeling.

Xia Minglei glanced at Lu Xiaoyun somewhat guiltily, then looked at Liang Zhaodi, "How about I have my family send you another five hundred yuan as compensation?"

Things that can be solved with money are minor matters; the real problem is that Liang Zhaodi doesn't want money and insists on making a big fuss.

"One thousand?" Xia Minglei raised an eyebrow.

His family was well-off, so this amount of money was nothing to Xia Minglei, as long as Liang Zhaodi didn't bother him or make a big fuss about it.

"Wait a minute." Liang Zhaodi angrily returned to her room, and after a while, she took a piece of paper and slammed it in front of Xia Minglei. "Sign and put your fingerprint on this, or I'll report you to the commune."

The paper had two requests: one was a thousand yuan, and the other was that either Lu Xiaoyun or Xia Minglei would have to bring her and their daughter back to the city.

Lu Xiaoyun doesn't like her, and he might abandon her and her daughter when he returns to the city. She must take her daughter with her back to the city, whether it's Lu Xiaoyun or Xia Minglei, as long as he can take her back to the city.

Lu Xiaoyun and Xia Minglei grew up together, so their families must live close by. If he doesn't want to take her back to the city, then she can go back with Xia Minglei and find Lu Xiaoyun that way.

Xia Minglei knew how serious the consequences of this matter were, and since his family was far away and the emperor couldn't save him, the price was just a drop in the ocean for him; it wasn't that he couldn't afford it.

As long as Lu Xiaoyun doesn't divorce Liang Zhaodi, Liang Zhaodi won't pester him to marry her.

Wang Caiyun waited for Xia Minglei in the dormitory courtyard, intending to break up Xia Minglei and Tian Xiaoke so she could be with Xia Minglei. However, after waiting for a long time in the courtyard, her eyelids were drooping and Xia Minglei still hadn't returned. So, Wang Caiyun got up and went back to the dormitory in a daze.

Less than half an hour after returning to the dormitory, a sudden shout of "Ah!" woke up the men in the dormitory. Someone on the large communal bed woke up, groped his way down from the bed in the dark, walked to the door, and pulled the light cord, instantly illuminating the dormitory with a dim yellow light.

On Wu Guoqiang's stall, which was closest to the door in the large dormitory, Wang Caiyun and Wu Guoqiang were seen embracing each other, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Isn't that incredibly audacious?

Faced with everyone's shocked gazes, Wu Guoqiang hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me! I was sleeping soundly when suddenly a woman pressed down on me. I thought I was dreaming, so I..." Then Wu Guoqiang pushed Wang Caiyun, "Wang Caiyun, why did you run to our dormitory in the middle of the night? Why did you want to hurt me?"

Wang Caiyun finally snapped out of her daze, looked around in astonishment, and immediately realized that she had just wandered into the boys' dormitory in a daze and lunged at the spot closest to the door.

This is her responsibility; she can't blame anyone else.

"Since things have come to this, you two should get married tomorrow. We'll pretend we don't know anything about this." Gu Xiangbei turned and left. Jiang Mo and Cheng Yu followed suit, leaving Wu Guoqiang and Wang Caiyun to discuss the matter.
