"Don't worry, although when I first went to the countryside, you couldn't control me and, out of jealousy, conspired with the Ye Guojiang brothers to steal two thousand yuan from me."

When her deeds were exposed, she wrote an IOU and devised another vicious plan, selling her body and enduring the disgust of being groped by a local rogue. He even borrowed a tape recorder from her.

It's true that you tried to trick me into admitting you didn't steal the money, and that you wanted to record it as evidence to blackmail me...

But I never intended to present the IOU and embarrass you on the most important day of your life, Wen Zhiqing. You're judging people too narrowly.

Everyone: That's ruthless!

What conspiracy to steal money, what enduring the disgust of being groped by hooligans just to borrow a tape recorder—this is a hundred times worse than slapping someone in the face with an IOU.

You might as well just kill her!

No, Wenrou was flustered beyond recognition, cold sweat already beading on her forehead. "I wasn't groped by that scoundrel, no, I didn't steal any money!"

She grabbed Jin Fei's arm, which had already stiffened, and looked up at him with a look of urgency.

“I really didn’t, Jin Fei, A Fei, she’s just trying to sabotage our trip. Don’t believe her slander.”

Ruan Xianxian crossed her arms and said, "Nothing? You stole money, and the whole brigade can testify. The whole educated youth settlement knows about you borrowing the tape recorder from that scoundrel."

As for whether that scoundrel made any advances towards you...

Didn't they say your partner can investigate cases that only the police can investigate? I'm sure getting the truth out of that thug won't be difficult.

You say no, I say yes; if he's interested, let him look it up himself!

Wenrou nearly bit her cheeks raw, her face paler than the faceless ghost on General Mountain, her body swaying precariously, her palms bleeding from her own knives!

Ruan Xianxian is going to completely ruin her!

She lowered her head, not daring to even look at her newlywed husband's face. Her vision blurred, and she felt as if the sky had collapsed.

In the crowd, a quirky, arrogant hoodlum with a rather distinctive appearance slowly withdrew from the group!

Don't ask him, don't ask him at all.

I bought that tape recorder with gambling money, and I sold it a few months ago!

No, he never owned a tape recorder!

Thinking of this, the hooligan took off running!

Ruan Xianxian smiled as she entered the arena and secured a triple kill.

Just as Wenrou was sinking into deep despair, a warm and strong hand grasped her cold little hand, and Jin Fei's firm voice came from above her head.

"I trust you."

Those four words brought Wenrou to tears instantly. She threw herself into her new husband's arms and sobbed uncontrollably, "Brother Fei, I really didn't steal the money."

"It's true I borrowed the tape recorder, but I didn't sell my body; I exchanged it for food stamps."

Jin Fei's tense jaw relaxed slightly. He chose to believe that if money could solve the problem, no woman would tolerate being taken advantage of by a scoundrel.

"Besides," Wenrou raised her tear-filled face, her expression full of humiliation, as if she were mustering up the courage to explain, "borrowing the tape recorder also proves my innocence, doesn't it?"

If I really stole the money, why would I bother borrowing a tape recorder?

Upon hearing this, Jin Fei's tense jaw completely relaxed.

Ruan Xianxian, this big mouth, never follows the path laid out by others; she seemed to be asking a question, or perhaps she was just curious.

"That's not right! Back then, all your belongings, even your favorite dress, were sold off cheaply to pay me back. Where did you get the food coupons to trade with that scoundrel for a radio?"

Wenrou froze again. "Can't I stay secretly?"

"Fine!" Ruan Xianxian didn't intend to delve into the matter further. "If you say it's fine, then it's fine. You can say that the good-for-nothing is your son and it's his duty to be filial to his mother."

Mu Xia sighed, "Please don't lick your lips! I'm afraid you'll poison yourself!"

"I really didn't sell my body, Brother Fei, you have to believe me." As long as Jin Fei believed her, she would go to join the army immediately, no longer caring about her reputation here.

Jin Fei hugged her tightly, "Of course I believe you."

Then, with a serious expression, he said to Ruan Xianxian, "Comrade Ruan, I had a very good impression of you when we first met. I thought you were a very capable woman."

After getting to know them, they're nothing special.

Two thousand yuan. Time has passed and the truth is known only to heaven, earth, you, and the parties involved. We were outmatched and fell into a trap, so we'll just accept our fate.

I have some savings from my years in the military. I'll help my girlfriend pay off her share after the wedding. I hope this matter can be put behind us.

The Jin family was labeled as capitalist roaders. They made their fortune by exploiting the working people in their early years. As it turns out, they were cunning and resourceful, and even after the incident, they were still not short of money.

You could tell just by looking at Jin Fei's nonchalant tone, as if he didn't care about a few hundred yuan.

Ruan Xianxian lifted her eyelids and said coldly, "No need."

No, you don't need it? Jin Fei didn't react for a moment. Did she mean she didn't want the money and wanted to let bygones be bygones?

Ruan Xianxian suddenly burst out laughing, her gaze fixed on Jin Fei, whose expression changed drastically after hearing her words. "I've already had someone deliver that IOU to your brother-in-law!"

"What did you say? Who did you send the IOU to?" Jin Fei shoved Wenrou aside, his face contorted with rage, and strode toward Ruan Xianxian.

Standing still in front of her, the 1.8-meter-tall Ruan Xianxian, with her height of over 1.8 meters, exuded a strong sense of pressure.

His fist clenched and unclenched, and several times he was about to make a move, but the image of the giant tortoise that appeared in his mind suppressed him.

Ruan Xianxian crossed her arms, her expression unchanged, "Excuse me, could you keep your distance? Your body odor is bothering me."

Jin Fei's expression changed, and he immediately took a few steps back.

My body is so stiff that I can't relax even when I want to. Isn't it normal to sweat in this hot weather?

But being openly called out as bad still made him feel embarrassed.
