Zhou Chen didn't reveal much about Sun Wanying, only that Wu Yuxue should know he had a girlfriend, and that Wu Yuxue would give up on her once she found out.
He made an excuse.
Zhou Chen said goodbye to the two women and left first.
"How could he have a girlfriend? Neither Teacher Wu nor Grandpa Liang have mentioned it. Don't they know?"
Liu Lei watched the departing figure, stroked her chin, and frowned as she spoke.
Wu Yuxue pursed her lips, feeling a mix of disappointment, resentment, frustration, and embarrassment. But she quickly suppressed these emotions and forced a smile, saying, "Liu Lei, let's not talk about this anymore, let it go."
Wu Yuxue is a very decisive person. Now that she knows Zhou Chen has a girlfriend, she immediately gave up some of her thoughts.
She has her own pride. Zhou Chen is excellent, and she is no less so. She has no shortage of suitors and will not be sad or unable to get over being politely rejected by Zhou Chen.
“Yu Xue, do you think he might be lying to us? Maybe he doesn’t actually have a girlfriend and is just making one up on purpose.”
Liu Lei suddenly turned her eyes and said.
"But why would he make up a girlfriend? Is it because he's afraid he can't give you happiness, Yuxue? Or does he feel he's not good enough for you, Yuxue?"
Seeing Liu Lei's increasingly outrageous and embarrassing remarks, Wu Yuxue quickly interrupted, "Don't make wild guesses. It's true that he has a girlfriend; he wouldn't lie to us."
As a woman, her intuition was very accurate. She clearly sensed the subtle changes in Zhou Chen's expression when he talked about his girlfriend, and she knew that the woman must really exist.
Even if we assume it's a lie, why would Zhou Chen lie? What was the purpose of lying? Wasn't it a disguised way of refusing?
So let's end this gracefully, otherwise it will be awkward for both of us.
Liu Lei was taken aback by Wu Yuxue's resolute words.
Finally, after reflecting on the experience, she coughed and comforted Wu Yuxue, "Zhou Chen was unlucky to miss out on you, Yuxue. Don't be sad because of this, Yuxue. You will definitely find a better guy than him in the future."
Wu Yuxue smiled but didn't say anything.
A relationship that hasn't even started might be a good thing; even if you can't be lovers, you can at least be friends.
Wu Yuxue comforted herself in this way.
Actually, she was quite envious of the girl who got together with Zhou Chen early on, because it seemed that Zhou Chen only had eyes for her.
Clearly, she met Zhou Chen before the other person, so she had the best chance.
But she missed it.
If she could choose again, what would she do?
Wu Yuxue felt that, much like before, she would make the same choice.
...
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Sun, you should take a look for yourself."
Secretary Li found it difficult to report, so he handed the things he was carrying to Sun Liancheng.
Sun Liancheng didn't pay much attention at first, but after scanning the area, he frowned and asked, "Where did they come from? Did many people see them?"
"There were about a dozen crumpled pieces of paper. They must have been deliberately thrown onto our construction site. A worker just picked them up, and I happened to be passing by, so I brought them all over. I've searched the area, and these are the only ones I found."
Secretary Li explained what had happened.
Sun Liancheng nodded. The contents of the crumpled paper were not trade secrets, but gossip news. It was about Zhou Chen dating two girlfriends at the same time, and it described in detail how Zhou Chen was dating another girlfriend behind his girlfriend's back.
Now, everyone on the construction site knows that Zhou Chen and Sun Wanying are dating, and Sun Liancheng certainly doesn't want this kind of thing to spread around the construction site.
"Mr. Sun, I think the information on this needs to be verified and should not be taken too seriously."
Secretary Li reminded him.
"Of course I don't believe it. If I couldn't see through such an obvious dirty trick, I wouldn't be sitting in this position today. The person who passed this message to me probably wanted to see me fall out with Zhou Chen. Unfortunately, they miscalculated. I can't guarantee that the kid can't be wrong in other aspects, but his character is definitely not wrong, and he would never do something like two-timing."
Sun Liancheng chuckled softly, his brows relaxed, and he leaned back in his chair.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who did this should be that ungrateful wretch named Zhou Ling. Even if she didn't do it herself, she must have hired someone to do it."
At this point, Sun Liancheng paused for a moment, then looked up and ordered, "Secretary Li, check the surveillance footage around the construction site and find out who threw the paper ball. Is it related to Zhou Ling?"
"Okay, Mr. Sun, I'll get right away."
Secretary Li nodded.
“Little girl, you’re too naive. It was one thing for you to spread rumors and smear Zhou Chen before, but now he is my future son-in-law, Sun Liancheng. If you ruin him and try to make my daughter break up with him, then don’t blame me for fighting back as her father to protect her love.”
Sun Liancheng was prepared to teach Zhou Ling a lesson. Zhou Ling's actions were tantamount to embarrassing Sun Wanying, and Sun Liancheng would not sit idly by.
So what if you, Zhou Ling, are pregnant? This isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Spreading rumors and slandering others
They must be punished.
Thinking that Sun Wanying might have been tricked if she knew about this, Sun Liancheng immediately called Sun Wanying. To his surprise, Sun Wanying already knew, because Zhou Chen had told her on his own initiative to refuse the matchmaking attempt by his old classmate, and had not even hidden the name of the female classmate.
This kid is pretty good.
Sun Liancheng grew increasingly appreciative of Zhou Chen's honesty and integrity.
No wonder his daughter chose him; his character is impeccable.
Sun Liancheng did not say that someone had sabotaged the matter by sending it to his ears through a crumpled piece of paper; he decided to handle it himself.
On the other end,
After returning home, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua patted their chests and assured Sun Liancheng that Zhou Chen's ambiguous relationship with other girls would definitely reach his ears.
The paper balls they threw were very accurate; the workers were sure to see them.
Now, all we have to do is wait and see what happens.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling felt relieved and in a great mood. Her appetite returned, and she immediately took out some money and handed it to Wang Xiuhua, asking her to go out and buy meat and vegetables so the family could celebrate.
Wang Xiuhua naturally wouldn't care about such a small amount of money as a few dozen yuan.
However, in order to obtain the demolition compensation controlled by Zhou Ling, she did not show any of her true feelings and pretended to be a kind mother and father with Zhou Dana, playing the role of parents well.
As long as the money is eventually obtained, what does it matter if I have to suffer a little and serve Zhou Ling?
The couple called this "enduring hardship and biding their time."
Little did they know, in the construction site's monitoring room, the images of the two of them sneaking into the site were being pulled up, magnified, and clearly seen.
