Chapter 74 Pressing Closer

Realizing the situation was not optimistic, Fang Wanyu took decisive action.

She took advantage of the connections her father had made for her.

He asked the work team for leave immediately and set off on his way home without even having time to pack his things.

Fearing they might miss the best opportunity.

Her father had already asked someone to make arrangements before she went to the countryside, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to return to the city now.

Her father also had many connections in the city.

When they were sent down to the countryside, they were intentionally given a relatively lenient situation and left with a way out.

Therefore, I want to temporarily return to the city.

It was something that could be accomplished smoothly with just a word of introduction, and there was almost no resistance.

Judging from Su Yufeng's reaction, it's clear that she looks down on this girl from the countryside.

Upon seeing Qiao Wanyin, Su Yufeng's cold gaze revealed her true feelings.

Fang Wanyu knew that Su Yufeng always valued family background and social standing.

For a girl from the countryside with no connections, integrating into the Lin family was obviously not easy.

They're already unhappy about it, and if they hear that she has a bad reputation, the marriage will definitely fall through!

A thought flashed through her mind: what if she could find a way to further expose some of Qiao Wanyin's "scandals" in the village?

Therefore, Su Yufeng's attitude will inevitably be even stronger.

At that point, the marriage will face even greater obstacles, and may even be completely called off.

Lin Maihe couldn't stand Fang Wanyu's hypocritical behavior and snorted coldly.

“When my brother first came back from military service, some people avoided him like the plague, afraid of getting involved!”

Lin Maihe had already seen through everything.

She strongly disliked Fang Wanyu's hypocritical attitude.

At this point, she couldn't help but say sarcastically, "You self-righteous people, how dare you bring up the past?"

Fang Wanyu felt a surge of nervousness upon hearing this.

At that time, Lin Li'an returned from military service due to injury, and the social environment was not very friendly to him. She chose to stay away from him to avoid suspicion.

The re-bringing of this old story filled her with dread.

Indeed, that period was one of her most painful memories.

Looking back on the past, I felt like a completely different person during that period. I was afraid to interact with people and afraid to admit my feelings.

However, everything eventually became the past...

But she's been trying her best to make up for it!

Although she did make mistakes in the past that cannot be changed.

But she never gave up trying to repair it.

She believes that time will prove her sincerity.

“Maihe, I would never think that way.”

Fang Wanyu said with a face full of grievance.

"If I really disliked you that much, why would I have gone to the countryside to find your brother?"

"Xiao He!"

Su Yufeng stared at her daughter, her voice filled with shock.

"How can you talk to people like that? You're getting more and more rude, aren't you!"

Lin Maihe wasn't afraid of her mother's scolding at all; instead, she straightened her back.

"I'm not making this up. That year, every member of their family wanted to distance themselves from us."

"Now look what's happened, Fang Wanyu suddenly ran back, and even went to the countryside... What is she up to! This matter is definitely not that simple."

She had long since lost trust in this so-called childhood sweetheart.

I've been a hypocrite since I was a child, and I've never been willing to be second to anyone.

Qiao Wanyin had long heard that Lin Maihe in this novel was a straightforward and outspoken character, but she never expected her to be this straightforward.

That was so satisfying.

It perfectly expressed what she wanted to say but couldn't say herself!

This young lady is just to her liking!

"Xiao He, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Su Yufeng could only scold her again before turning to Fang Wanyu, whose face was pale.

"Don't mind it, I've spoiled this child since he was little, and he never knows how to be discreet when he speaks."

Fang Wanyu was naturally furious, but she still maintained a polite smile on her face.

"Auntie, you're too kind. Xiaohe and I have known each other since we were little, so I know a little about her personality."

Lin Maihe clearly wasn't buying it and showed no mercy.

"It's precisely because we grew up together that I know her best at heart!"

Fang Wanyu came all the way from out of town, and she certainly didn't come here just to argue.

Her attention had long since shifted away from those past grievances.

The real target is Qiao Wanyin.

So she ignored Mai He and turned her gaze to Qiao Wanyin, revealing a faint smile.

"Wanyin, I ran into He Dayong when I returned to the city. He was still asking me about you."

Qiao Wanyin smiled gently, her tone carrying a hint of meaning.

"I didn't expect that Fang, the educated youth, would know so many people after only a few days of being sent down to the countryside. He even became so familiar with those local thugs?"

Fang Wanyu's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, replying in a low voice, "What do you mean by that? I don't even know him!"

"oh?"

Qiao Wanyin pretended to be surprised.

"If you don't know him, then why did he specifically come to me to ask about you?"

"you--"

Fang Wanyu was speechless for a moment, her cheeks flushed red, and she was extremely anxious.

"Anyway...anyway, He Dayong did ask you! He said it!"

"Fang Wanyu".

Lin Li'an suddenly spoke coldly.

"Today is my girlfriend's first time visiting my home. I think it's better to avoid some irrelevant people."

Fang Wanyu was stunned for a moment, her eyes instantly reddening, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother Li An, how... how could you talk to me like that? Are you trying to kick me out?"

"why not?"

Lin Maihe's voice immediately rose, and her tone became aggressive.

"This is my sister-in-law's first visit, what are you doing just standing there?"

Fang Wanyu panicked and blurted out, "I didn't mean to come! I just—"

"Fang Wanyu!"

Lin Maihe interrupted her without any politeness.

"Stop pretending. Tell me, what are you trying to do by suddenly coming back? Are you trying to ruin my brother's and sister-in-law's relationship?"

What other explanation could there be for this?

He'd only been in the countryside for a few days, and he just happened to come back today.

It can't be as simple as just going home to see your parents!

"I don't!"

Fang Wanyu's voice was already a little hoarse, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"I really want to come back to see my aunt and uncle!"

"hehe."

Lin Maihe sneered, her face full of distrust.

"If you really came back to see your parents, why have you been staying at my house for so long?"

"Stop using my parents as an excuse," she pressed on. "We're family, so who are you trying to fool by pretending to be filial and putting on an act?"

"Uncle, Auntie."

Fang Wanyu's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.

"I really didn't expect Xiaohe to think of me like that... I'd better leave first, so that no one is unhappy."

After saying that, she lowered her head and turned to leave.

"Wanyu, Wanyu!"

Upon seeing this, Su Yufeng quickly called out to her, her face showing a hint of panic.

But just as she was about to catch up, her daughter blocked her way.

"Mom, don't pay any attention to her," Lin Maihe said coldly. "That girl is best at playing the victim to gain sympathy; she's incredibly cunning!"
