Chapter 76 Smear Campaign

Su Yufeng's eyes were filled with suspicion.

"Of course that's how it is! I've been with her for so long, don't I know her character? Mom and Dad, I'm not a child anymore, I won't be fooled so easily."

“Alright,” the mother waved her hand, “you can go out first, we can talk by ourselves.”

After Lin Li'an left, Lin's mother's expression turned somber.

"This matter is not that simple. Just you wait and see, that Qiao Wanyin is definitely not innocent."

She had already secretly decided that she would definitely find an opportunity to ask Fang Wanyu about her situation again later.

She felt that her son was now completely captivated by the girl's appearance.

Whenever Qiao Wanyin is mentioned, people go on and on about how good she is.

She only talks about her good points, how can you see the truth?

The atmosphere at dinner was generally harmonious.

During the meal, apart from Su Yufeng's slightly stiff expression,

The other members of the Lin family all had smiles on their faces and ate very happily.

Although Lin Li'an didn't say anything, he kept quietly serving food to Qiao Wanyin.

"Try this, my mom made it especially for me today."

“Oh, and this plate of braised pork ribs is also good,” he added, moving the dish closer to Qiao Wanyin. “This is my mom’s specialty, and it tastes quite authentic.”

Qiao Wanyin smiled and looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with laughter.

"Thanks!"

Then, she gently picked up a small piece of braised pork ribs that had been stewed until tender and fragrant with her chopsticks, and said softly, "Auntie's cooking skills are really amazing. This piece of ribs melts in your mouth, and you can even suck out the flavor from the bones. It's really fantastic!"

Su Yufeng was slightly taken aback, and the spoon in her hand stopped in mid-air.

You really know how to talk!

As dinner was about to end, Su Yufeng excused herself, saying she had an urgent matter to attend to, and then stood up early, grabbed her bag, and left.

The reason sounded reasonable, and no one questioned it further.

When she returned, her already tense face became even more somber.

She didn't actually do anything important when she went out just now.

Instead, they went to investigate Qiao Wanyin's background.

One thing that really annoyed her was that she found her guesses weren't so easy to prove.

The Qiao family did indeed come into contact with a man named He Dayong during their early years of hardship.

However, all evidence suggests that the relationship between the two was quite ordinary.

She was determined not to easily agree to their relationship.

Otherwise, if trouble arises in the future, it will be her son and the whole family who suffer.

Lin Yuanfeng was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.

The room was completely silent, except for the soft rustling of papers being turned.

He saw his wife walk in from outside, her face full of anger.

The expression on his face was so wide it almost cracked the door frame.

He put down the newspaper, frowned slightly, and looked at her, asking, "What's wrong with you now? You only went out for a short while, but why do you look even worse?"

Ever since her son's girlfriend first came to the house, his wife has never given her a kind look.

If it were any other sensitive girl, she probably would have run out crying long ago.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiao has a really good temper. Not only does she not hold a grudge, but she also always serves him carefully, bringing him tea and water, and she's very sweet-talking.

She is not only good at speaking and acting, but also knows how to be tactful.

Although Su Yufeng clearly disliked her, she still treated her with courtesy and had no complaints whatsoever.

He felt quite guilty, and sometimes he even felt that he, as an elder, was being too harsh.

"What else could it be? Wasn't it because you were upset by your good son?"

Su Yufeng sat down on the sofa angrily and said this.

Old Lin frowned as he looked at her.

"Why bother asking around? You shouldn't jump to conclusions about this kind of thing."

"inquire about?"

Su Yufeng became even more agitated when she talked about this, and her eyes reddened.

"Of course it's about your good daughter-in-law! If you don't investigate, there's bound to be big trouble sooner or later!"

"Shh-"

Lin Yuanfeng's face darkened, he raised his hand to stop him, and lowered his voice.

"Keep your voice down. Xiao Qiao is upstairs right now. What if she hears you and says something out of line? Don't go too far."

When did you become so unapproachable?

He couldn't help but add another sentence, his tone a mix of reproach and confusion.

"You haven't smiled at that young girl even once since she walked in the door!"

As he said this, a hint of gentle criticism appeared in his eyes.

In his eyes, Xiao Qiao was a reasonable and good girl.

Even if his wife had a problem with him, she shouldn't have acted so coldly.

"A good look?"

Su Yufeng snorted, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips.

“Our son is completely smitten with her, he’s always hanging around her, how can I possibly be nice to him!”

She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you still think she's a precious gem? I think she's just a vixen. I don't know what tricks she used to bewitch my son like that. It makes me so angry."

"Old Lin, you have no idea what kind of daughter-in-law you've married."

Her tone suddenly lowered a few decibels.

“This girl had a particularly bad reputation in her village before.”

"Not only did she not know the rules, she was also immoral. She even went to a southern city with a man to live a carefree life. I heard that she had been involved with several educated youths, and the relationship was unclear. It's hard to say exactly how many relationships she had."

Her tone became increasingly intense as she said this.

“Your son,” she finally stopped speaking, pointing at her husband with a cold smile, “is completely blinded by her looks, he’s lost all sense of reason. If this continues, how will we ever have any peace and quiet at home!”

Lin Yuanfeng frowned and asked, "You must have heard all this nonsense from that Fang Wanyu, right? She's someone who can't keep her mouth shut; she just blurts out anything. How could you believe her?"

"She only dared to say it after seeing it with her own eyes!"

Su Yufeng slammed her hand on the table in a fit of rage, her finger almost touching the air.

"She clearly saw your daughter walk out of the boys' dormitory in the middle of the night. How could such a thing be faked? If word got out, people would gossip about it behind her back!"

"This is utter chaos!"

Lin Yuanfeng also got a little angry, and his face immediately turned stern.

"You believe what she says? Is she deliberately trying to smear her?"

Although he doesn't interfere much in the affairs of young people.

They don't usually interfere too much with their children's friendships.

But Lin Yuanfeng is a master at judging people; he has a sharp eye and is very experienced.

He knew better than anyone why Fang Wanyu had suddenly returned and what she was up to.

This isn't someone who simply talks the talk.

There must be some ulterior motive behind her saying such things...

"Aunt!"

Just as tensions were about to rise, a calm voice came from the stairwell.

It turned out that Xiao Qiao, who couldn't sleep at night, had overheard a conversation upstairs and quietly came downstairs to get some water.

They happened to be caught in this family "interrogation".

Since they've already embellished and told so many lies...

Since she's bringing up such a sensitive topic without any hesitation, she can no longer pretend nothing happened.
