Seeing that Qiao Qiqi had only promised him at noon that she would not associate with Hou Yan again, she was now going to find Hou Yan right in front of him!

Qin Huai was utterly disappointed in her!

Without saying a word, he turned around and stormed off.

Don't think he doesn't know where the road on the right leads; isn't it the resettlement site for educated youth?

He knew he shouldn't have believed this woman's nonsense!

He even said he wanted to live a good life with himself, but he was just lying to himself!

Sure enough, a woman's words are deceitful!

Only a fool would believe that!

Seeing that Qin Huai was clearly angry, Qiao Qiqi realized that he might have misunderstood, and immediately called out to his back, "Why don't you come with me!"

However, Qin Huai seemed not to hear him and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing that he seemed quite angry, Qiao Qiqi sighed helplessly.

Seeing that it was getting dark, she turned around and headed towards the resettlement site for educated youth.

Meanwhile, at the educated youth resettlement site, male and female educated youth were eating at a table, and their conversation naturally revolved around the afternoon's events surrounding Qiao Qiqi's family breaking off their relationship with Lu Xiufen.

"I heard that the old lady in Team Leader Qiao's family is extremely biased. She only likes her eldest son, and her second son has long since severed ties with her. Team Leader Qiao is her third son. This time, he was heartbroken because the old lady stole Qiao Qiqi's betrothal gifts, so he broke off the engagement in a fit of anger."

"I've heard about it too. If this happened to me, I would break off the engagement too! What kind of grandmother steals her granddaughter's dowry? It's really too much," a female educated youth said angrily.

Wu Nana disagreed, saying, "Even if the old lady was wrong, she at least gave birth to him and raised him. She shouldn't have kicked him out. I heard she didn't even pay alimony. That's going too far."

"I also think it's a bit excessive."

At this point, the votes were almost evenly split.

Just then, someone suddenly asked, "Hou Yan, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Throughout the entire discussion, everyone else was talking, and Hou Yan remained silent.

When his name was suddenly called, he looked up and immediately met Zhang Jingya's probing gaze.

Zhang Jingya would definitely be angry if she realized that what she said was wrong...

Hou Yan considered for a moment before saying, "If her grandmother really stole her betrothal gifts, it is indeed a bit too much. Being kicked out of the house is well deserved, but not paying alimony is also a bit too much."

The words were perfectly balanced, and Qiao Qiqi happened to overhear them as she walked over.

But she wasn't narcissistic enough to think that Hou Yan would speak up for her. The reason he said that was simply because he was always so hypocritical in front of others, maintaining his positive image.

To put it bluntly, it's hypocrisy!

Qiao Qiqi hated this kind of person the most. She immediately walked over and sneered, "Anyone can say nice things! If your grandma steals your bride price and you can't get a wife, then show me how generous you are!"

When everyone saw Qiao Qiqi suddenly appear, they all looked like they'd seen a ghost.

Ever since they heard that Qiao Qiqi had married Qin Huai, she hadn't appeared at the educated youth resettlement site for several days. They all thought that Qiao Qiqi had finally let go of Hou Yan and was settling down to live a peaceful life with Qin Huai. Now, seeing her come back so quickly...

Wu Nana was the first to stand up, angrily saying, "Qiao Qiqi, you're already married, what are you doing here? Are you still up to no good and want to keep bothering Hou Yan, trying to have your cake and eat it too?"

Qiao Qiqi looked over coldly, and before she could retort, Xing Guangyu also stood up.

"Qiao Qiqi, Hou Yan is already with Jingya. As a girl, have some self-respect and stop bothering me."

Two people took the lead, and although the others didn't say anything, their gazes towards Qiao Qiqi were filled with disdain.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how poor the original owner's interpersonal relationships were.

It's no wonder these people dislike her. When she received the original owner's memories, she saw the original owner, a girl, relentlessly pursuing Hou Yan, and she felt that the original owner was quite demeaning.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Qiao Qiqi stepped forward and looked at Hou Yan, saying, "Hou Yan, the three-day deadline is up. Are you going to return my money or my things? Have you thought it through?"

Everyone looked puzzled when they heard her say that.

Wu Nana asked directly, "What does Hou Yan owe you?"

Qiao Qiqi looked at her with a sarcastic expression, "Are you already not smart enough at such a young age? We bumped into each other on the street three days ago, and you've already forgotten what I said?"

Wu Nana's memories were stirred, and she remembered that Qiao Qiqi had asked Hou Yan to return the things three days ago, but she was shocked.

"Are you serious?"

There were four of them at the time, but all four of them thought it was just another excuse for Qiao Qiqi to get close to Hou Yan, so they didn't take her words to heart at all.

Seeing that Qiao Qiqi was serious, Wu Nana frowned.

At this moment, Hou Yan stood up abruptly. "Qiao Qiqi, let's talk over there!"

Even though he was thinking about finding Qiao Qiqi to be his concubine after returning to the city, something he couldn't say in front of everyone, he explained to Zhang Jingya, who was looking dissatisfied, with a righteous expression: "Jingya, Qiao Qiqi is a girl after all. I'm afraid she won't be able to take it if I reject her in front of so many people."

Upon hearing Hou Yan's words, everyone felt that he was truly a good person. Even though Qiao Qiqi had gone so far, he still tried to save face for her.

Although Zhang Jingya felt that it would be better to say it to Qiao Qiqi's face and embarrass her, in order to maintain her image in everyone's eyes, she still said with a forbearing expression, "I believe you, but you have to promise me that you must make things clear with her this time and not let her bother us again in the future."

"Okay." Hou Yan nodded in agreement.

But the next second, a cold snort suddenly came from the other side: "Not good!"

Qiao Qiqi found it amusing that the two of them had decided on her fate so readily.

"Stop your hypocritical act. Let's say it in front of everyone. I'm not here for anything else, but since you're with someone else now, just give me back everything I gave you before. Is that too much to ask?"

Seeing that Qiao Qiqi was serious, everyone naturally felt that her request was not excessive.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Hou Yan quickly said, "Qiao Qiqi, I know I am indeed a little sorry for you, but I really have no feelings for you. I am with Jingya now, and you have chosen to marry Qin Huai. Please don't come looking for me again, because no matter what method you use, I will not turn back."
