Jiang Yan hurried after her, shouting, "Did you hear something from someone else? That's a frame-up! You have to believe me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Honghui pedaled even faster, as if a fierce tiger was chasing him.

Jiang Yan could only watch him leave. She couldn't understand why Zhao Honghui was so insistent that she had schemed against him.

She kept reviewing her performance in her mind, unable to figure out where she had slipped up.

It wasn't until she finished work at noon and saw Xie Yuyao that she suddenly realized what had happened.

It was her! She must have told Zhao Honghui, otherwise he wouldn't be so convinced!

Xie Yuyao was entertaining Zhao Jiefang and his group when she saw Jiang Yan's venomous eyes. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. What was Jiang Yan up to now?

After seeing Zhao Jiefang and the others off, Xie Yuyao turned around to prepare for Jiang Yan's attack, but to her surprise, Jiang Yan just sneered and went back to her room to rest.

Something unusual must be going on, and Xie Yuyao prepared for battle. But Jiang Yan remained silent, making no move even as she fell asleep that night.

The next morning, while everyone was eating, Jiang Yan, with red and swollen eyes, accused Xie Yuyao: "Xie Yuyao, why did you say those things to Zhao Honghui? You two have already broken up, why are you still meddling in his affairs?"

Xie Yuyao was momentarily stunned. "I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Is that so! Zhao Honghui doesn't want you anymore, but you still keep pestering me. You old hag, what are you pretending to be?"

Xie Yuyao stepped forward and slapped her, shocking everyone present.

Her nonchalant attitude towards the matter made people overlook the fact that Zhao Honghui was once her boyfriend. Did she really whisper something to Zhao Honghui?

Jiang Yan seemed unable to believe that she would hit her: "You...you actually dared to hit me!"

"That's exactly what I'm going to do!" Xie Yuyao sneered. "You coward who dares to do something but not admit it, your scheme is so simple that even a three-year-old can see through it. Do I need to say more? How much do you overestimate yourself, or how much do you underestimate Zhao Honghui?"

Jiang Yan, of course, wouldn't admit it, and wailed, "You're slandering me! I didn't want to fall into the water either, and it wasn't me who asked him to save me. Just let me die, I don't want to live anymore!"

At this point, she covered her face and wept, then ran out of the educated youth compound.

Nobody knows where she went, but many people are quite conflicted, wondering if they've really misunderstood her?

Bei Xiao scoffed, "Are all the men in the world dead? Why are they all eyeing Zhao Honghui? Is he some kind of Tang Monk's flesh?"

"Smack!" Xie Yuyao put down her chopsticks and glared fiercely at Bei Xiao.

Having already been thoroughly defeated by Xie Yuyao, Bei Xiao quickly shut her mouth. In her moment of smugness, she had forgotten that this formidable figure was still around.

Xiang Wenshan handed Bei Xiao a cooked sweet potato and said, "Eat well."

The others ate in silence, not wanting to provoke Xie Yuyao any further.

However, this meal was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Just as Xie Yuyao was secretly wondering what other tricks Jiang Yan might have up her sleeve, someone outside the educated youth compound shouted, "Educated youth Jiang jumped into the river!"

Inside the main room, everyone was stunned when they heard this. Jump into the river again?

Li Weidong was the first to stand up: "Let's go take a look."

All the educated youths mobilized together; no matter what, Jiang Yan was, after all, a member of the educated youth team.

Xie Yuyao followed in the crowd, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. She thought of a saying: "Put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive."

At the scene of the incident, Jiang Yan had already been rescued and was lying motionless on the ground, while Zhao Honghui was pressing hard on her chest.

As more and more people gathered to watch, according to an insider, Jiang Yan ran to Zhao Honghui's doorstep, argued with him for a few words, and suddenly shouted, "Why don't you believe me! I really didn't want to implicate you! Do I have to die to prove my innocence?!"

After saying that, she turned and ran away.

Zhao Honghui returned to the dining table to eat, but as soon as he sat down, he realized something was wrong and asked someone to go with him to find someone.

After leaving, Jiang Yan went straight to the riverbank where she had fallen into the water before and attempted suicide.

When people found her, she had already drifted to a deep area far from the shore and was struggling to survive in the water.

Zhao Honghui and several other community members who were good swimmers jumped into the water and managed to pull Jiang Yan out of the water, but she had already lost consciousness.

After a series of CPR resuscitation efforts, Jiang Yan was finally brought back to consciousness. She cried out hoarsely, "I'll only be a burden to Brother Zhao if I live, so I might as well die. Why did you save me?"

The onlookers then began to persuade them:

"What happened last time was an accident. How did you implicate Zhao Honghui?"

"Yes! It was just a misunderstanding, and it's all cleared up now."

"You absolutely cannot go and kill yourself! Your parents would be heartbroken to see their child die!"

......

Hearing these words, Jiang Yan cried even more bitterly, "Even if I don't die, I have no face to live. How can I get married like this? I might as well just die."

After hearing this, the surrounding community members were at a loss for words to offer any further advice.

They all turned their gazes to Zhao Honghui, and one of the bold and outspoken women said:

“Honghui, look at how Jiang Zhiqing is now, why don’t you just marry her?”

"She's lost her innocence. If you don't marry her, what if she tries to kill herself again?"

"You've always been responsible; you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

......

Zhao Honghui clenched his fists, veins bulging. His cold, sharp gaze pierced the group of people who were speaking, his eyes like poisoned ice arrows.

When Xie Yuyao arrived, she heard the onlookers' words piercingly incisive. She saw that familiar figure, his whole body tense, like a rope about to snap. He had been forced to the edge of a cliff.

“Jiang, the educated youth…”

"Zhao Honghui!"

Zhao Honghui was interrupted. He turned around and saw the girl he had been thinking about day and night running towards him.

"Your grandma fell down, hurry home and check on her."

Xie Yuyao, panting, winked at him.

Hurry up and go! What are you waiting for?!

When Zhao Honghui first heard this, his heart tightened. But when he saw her expression, he understood her intention. His heart softened, and he felt a bittersweet feeling welled up inside him.

He turned to look at Jiang Zhiqing, who was crying on the ground, and said, word by word, "Jiang Zhiqing, listen to this: there is absolutely no possibility between me, Zhao Honghui, and you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan looked up at Zhao Honghui, her face filled with disbelief.

She risked everything, only to end up losing everything!

This time she truly broke down in tears, crying, "I don't want to live anymore, let me die..."

Zhao Honghui ignored her, gave Xie Yuyao a deep look, and started to leave.

As the person involved walked away, the onlookers wanted to leave as well, but Xie Yuyao stopped them.

A seductive yet sarcastic voice rang out: "Don't rush off, everyone. I think Jiang Yan might still try to kill herself. Since you're all so kind, why don't you let your sons or brothers marry her? You wouldn't just stand by and watch her die, would you?"

The women who had just spoken up for them never expected to get themselves into trouble, and their faces flushed red and then turned pale.

"Her reputation is ruined! How dare she step foot in my house!"

This educated youth from Jiang is always threatening to kill himself; who can stand it?

Forget about marrying her; even in everyday life, it's best to keep your distance. What if you say something wrong and she jumps into the river?
