Actually, he didn't like Tian Xiaoke at all. It was Tian Xiaoke who liked him and pursued him, saying that she didn't expect anything else. He was also bored and needed to kill time, so the two hit it off and started hanging out together.
It's all a lie now. What do you mean by not expecting anything else? If you really didn't expect anything else, you wouldn't have investigated him or found him in the Fengshou Brigade.
Xia Minglei was very unhappy, but Tian Xiaoke already knew that he had deceived her with a fake name. If he did not comply with Tian Xiaoke, she would probably expose everything, and he would probably end up like Zhu Jiawen.
He didn't want to ruin his future and life because of this little thing between a man and a woman. At worst, he would just coax Tian Xiaoke like before. When his family arranged for him to go home, he would carry Tian Xiaoke back to the city so that she could never find him again.
Thinking of this, Xia Minglei's tense body relaxed a little.
Tian Xiaoke stepped out of Xia Minglei's embrace, wiped away her tears, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Minglei is my boyfriend. We've been dating for almost a year, and he's met my parents. They've agreed to our relationship. I quit my job at the supply and marketing cooperative and came to the countryside to find Minglei and get married. I haven't seen him for two months, and I'm so excited, so... I hope everyone can forgive my actions."
It wasn't that their parents agreed to their relationship, but rather that they had already had sex multiple times. However, this couldn't be said outright. This statement served both as a reminder to everyone that her relationship with Xia Minglei was known to their elders and as a subtle hint to Xia Minglei to remember their relationship.
She used to work at a supply and marketing cooperative and had come into contact with all sorts of people. It's impossible for her to be completely without guile. If Xia Minglei doesn't want to be with her, she wouldn't mind making a scene about their affair.
Since the Lunar New Year, Xia Minglei hasn't gone to see her again. I wonder if he's found a new love in the countryside. She came to the countryside to assert her dominance; no one can take Xia Minglei away from her.
Tang Xiaoyun stood there, stunned, staring at Xia Minglei and Tian Xiaoke in disbelief. How could this be? She clearly remembered that the woman Xia Minglei was with in her past life was Lin Yiwan. Xia Minglei's house was right next to hers. She had seen Lin Yiwan before when Xia Minglei brought her home, but Lin Yiwan didn't look like this!
Did Xia Minglei date Tian Xiaoke first, and then Lin Yiwan was the other woman who stole Xia Minglei away?
Or did Xia Minglei break up with Tian Xiaoke before marrying Lin Yiwan?
If Lin Yiwan is destined to be Xia Minglei's wife in two years, then she can't afford to have a falling out with Tian Xiaoke now. She should first get Tian Xiaoke to get rid of Lin Yiwan and make Xia Minglei hate Tian Xiaoke. That way, Xia Minglei will belong to her, Tang Xiaoyun.
Oh, and there's also Lin Lan. In their past life, the two of them hit it off and kidnapped Lin Yiwan. But instead of getting rid of Lin Yiwan, they ended up making Xia Minglei and her even closer, and Lin Lan was sentenced to be punished.
Now that she's been reborn and has the upper hand, she can approach Lin Lan ahead of time to carefully plan this matter. In short, she will absolutely not allow Xia Minglei to marry Lin Yiwan again.
It's fine for Xia Minglei to date, as long as he ends up marrying Tang Xiaoyun. She's not a magnanimous person, but she has to pretend to be magnanimous now.
Xia Minglei looked at everyone and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Ke and I have been dating, and Xiao Ke's elders have met me and like me very much."
Tang Xiaoyun composed herself and then smiled broadly at Tian Xiaoke, saying, "So, Sister Xiaoke is my brother Minglei's girlfriend! Hello, I'm the girl next door to my brother Minglei. My name is Tang Xiaoyun. When I went to the countryside, my brother Minglei's parents asked him to take good care of me. Now that my brother Minglei has a girlfriend, I can't ask him for help anymore, so people won't misunderstand our relationship. Can I ask Sister Xiaoke for help instead?"
First, build a good relationship with Tian Xiaoke, and then let Tian Xiaoke handle the actual work so that she can extricate herself from the situation.
Tian Xiaoke and Lin Yiwan fought like a snipe and a clam, and then she, the fisherman, reaped the benefits.
When Wen Xi heard the name 'Tang Xiaoyun', she was shocked because this was the strongest female villain the male and female protagonists encountered after entering the city. Tang Xiaoyun's family and Xia Minglei's family were neighbors, and the two could be said to have grown up together. Tang Xiaoyun had liked the male protagonist since she was a child and dreamed of marrying him. Unexpectedly, the male protagonist went to the countryside for several years and brought back a female protagonist, Lin Yiwan, and even married Lin Yiwan and had a child.
In order to help his younger brother, Lin Lan cooperated with Tang Xiaoyun to kidnap the female lead and force her to be with his younger brother, Lin Jing. Anyway, Tang Xiaoyun was fine afterward, but Lin Lan lost his life.
Lin Jing, the younger brother, was not grateful for Lin Lan's sacrifices. Instead, for the sake of his reputation, he severed ties with her and then married and had children.
If he liked the female lead, yet he still got married and had children, it shows he was quite realistic. He got married when he was supposed to and had children when he was supposed to. He didn't stay committed to so-called love for a lifetime. On the contrary, his older brother, who was devoted to him and sacrificed for him, even lost his life.
Tang Xiaoyun only appears later in the story, after the male and female protagonists have moved to the city. Why did she appear earlier, and why did she go to the countryside?
Could it be that Tang Xiaoyun, like her, was reborn and had memories of her past life, knowing that Xia Minglei would fall in love with Lin Yiwan in the countryside and marry her, so she specially rushed to the countryside to stop him?
Since she knows that Lin Yiwan will be Xia Minglei's wife, she is very likely to take revenge on Lin Yiwan, because this would cut off all possibilities between Xia Minglei and Lin Yiwan at the source.
Thinking of this, Wen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly pulled Lin Yiwan out of the crowd and whispered, "Yiwan, I strongly suspect that this Xiao Ke is Xia Minglei's lover in the city. Maybe Xia Minglei hasn't come to the city to see her recently, and she couldn't sit still, so she went to the countryside for love."
“That’s what I think too.” Lin Yiwan nodded. “Looking at her height and hairstyle, she is indeed similar to the one we saw that night. And that girl next door, I don’t think she’s that simple either. The way she looked at Xia Minglei wasn’t innocent. She probably came to the countryside for love too. This educated youth settlement will definitely be very lively in the future. Luckily you moved out early, otherwise you would definitely have suffered some undeserved trouble.”
"You too, since you used to be quite close to Xia Minglei, the conflict might spill over to your side. You need to be careful and cautious in your daily life, and don't give others any leverage over you," Wen Xi advised.
