Chapter 4 Head-on confrontation, I don't want trash.

A moment later, everyone erupted in uproar.

"My God! So, it really was the Lin family who deliberately wanted to harm Shi Yu!"

"How could they even think of such a thing? To harm a young woman like this, aren't they just beasts?"

"Judging from what Jiaojiao said just now, those two have been having an affair behind the scenes for a long time. Ugh! How shameless!"

Lin Zhicheng and his mother's faces flushed red and then turned pale, utterly bewildered.

In a moment of panic, Lin Zhicheng quickly pushed Shi Jiaojiao away.

Ouch!

Shi Jiaojiao fell to the ground, her clothes barely covering her body, looking utterly disheveled.

But Lin Zhicheng had no time to pay attention to Shi Jiaojiao at that moment, because the village chief was staring at him coldly.

"Village Chief, please let me explain..."

Lin Zhicheng panicked and wanted to explain, but Shi Yu cut him off first, "Village Chief, now that the truth is out, please help me."

Upon hearing this, the village chief's gaze fell on Shi Yu.

He sighed softly, "Shiyu, Lin Zhicheng was wrong in this matter, but he is a man after all. You can say whatever you want about him behind his back."

"But now that there are so many people around, you have to give him some face, right?"

"Behave yourself, stop making a scene, go back with Lin Zhicheng first."

Hearing these comments, which were so biased they were practically blatant, made Shi Yu frown.

Her face darkened slightly, and she immediately became blunt.

"It's ridiculous. We're both born of the same parents, but he made such a serious mistake and nothing happened. He can just let it go so easily?"

"And I, as the victim, am expected to compromise and pretend nothing happened?"

"On what grounds?"

"Village chief, tell me what the logic is behind this?"

What kind of bullshit patriarchal ideology is this?

She won't tolerate them!

The village chief was taken aback by the question.

He hadn't expected Shi Yu to ask such a question, or how... forceful she would be?

But after the initial shock, all that remained in his heart was a deep sense of annoyance.

Honestly, the fish is really ungrateful at this point.

Her family was already poor, and now she was going to be sent down to Heishan Island. Marrying Lin Zhicheng was like burning incense for her.

In this situation, instead of trying every possible way to win Lin Zhicheng back, why are they acting all dramatic in public?

He's seriously sick!

"Then what do you want?" the village chief asked, growing impatient.

"I want to annul the engagement!" Shi Yu said loudly, enunciating each word clearly.

What?

Hearing this, the others were also taken aback.

But then, the way everyone looked at Lin Zhicheng and his mother became noticeably more mocking.

If this engagement is called off, the Lin family will lose face big time.

"Shi Yu!" Song Li screamed in disbelief, "My son is so outstanding, and what are you?"

“If it weren’t for that damned engagement, even if you knelt down and begged my son, he wouldn’t give you a second glance.”

"Break off the engagement? What right do you have to suggest breaking off the engagement?"

Shi Yu sneered disdainfully, "The 'outstanding' you Lin family talk about is just messing around with women behind their backs? So, he likes to roll around with pigs, huh!"

"So dirty!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not a junk collector who takes all kinds of trash."

"You...you..."

Song Li clutched her chest, nearly fainting from anger.

Lin Zhicheng stared intently at Shi Yu's small face, a fleeting look of surprise crossing his eyes.

Before, Yu's heart was full of him.

She was cowardly and subservient, humbly trying to please him, and doing many things for him unilaterally.

Even though he never gave her a kind look, she always greeted him with a good-natured smile and never said a harsh word to him.

Now……

They actually called him trash in public?

"Hmph! Shi Yu, have you thought this through? If you really break off the engagement with me today, and you regret it later, even if you kneel down and beg me, I will never agree to marry you again."

Lin Zhicheng slightly raised his chin, his threatening tone revealing a self-righteous arrogance.

It was as if she could already see the next moment when the fish was terrified and cried bitterly, humbly begging him to forgive her and not abandon her.

But to everyone's surprise, Shi Yu merely glanced at him indifferently.

His eyes were cold and indifferent, devoid of any of the emotional fluctuations of the past; on the contrary, there was only trace of disgust.

Stop dreaming in broad daylight!

Then, Shi Yu looked at everyone and said in a clear and powerful voice, "Today, I would like to ask the village chief and everyone to be my witnesses. It is I, Shi Yu, who want to break off the engagement. It is I who find Lin Zhicheng dirty and don't want him anymore."

"Alright, since you insist, your marriage with Lin Zhicheng is off."

Since Shi Yu was ungrateful, the village chief didn't bother with him anymore. After saying that, he simply walked away with his hands behind his back.

The others gradually dispersed as well.

However, before leaving, their gazes toward Lin Zhicheng and his mother were filled with schadenfreude.

Those who had a bad relationship with the Lin family, in particular, were almost ready to openly mock them.

Lin Zhicheng's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his face turned ashen.

As he watched Shi Yu stride away, his back view swift and decisive, his heart sank.

Her attitude towards him...

It's completely different from before, like a completely different person.

What happened?

However, upon further reflection, Lin Zhicheng immediately understood.

snort!

It's just a little trick of playing hard to get, trying to get my attention!

She can't keep up the act for long.

When she regrets it and begs for his forgiveness while crying, he will not even glance at her.

With this thought, Lin Zhicheng's mood calmed down again.

Shi Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.

That's great! She can replace Shi Yu and marry Lin Zhicheng, so she won't have to suffer with the whole family when she's sent down to Heishan Island.

This joy swept away the humiliation of being groped by a pig. She got up from the ground and reached out to Lin Zhicheng in a coquettish manner, "Brother Zhicheng..."

Snap!

Before she could finish speaking, she was met with a hard slap across the face.

"You bitch, if it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"You've made our Lin family a laughingstock, damn it, you're a jinx!"

After hitting her, Song Li still felt unsatisfied and immediately started cursing again.
