The two of them make a perfect couple and should live a good life together.
"Jinglan, did you find out I work around here and come looking for me on purpose?" Leng Yinghong said happily, lost in her own thoughts. "I knew you still had feelings for me. After all, we've been together for so long, we understand each other so well, isn't this fate—"
As she was speaking, Leng Yinghong abruptly stopped.
She finally noticed Qiao Xinruo standing next to Zhou Jinglan.
Leng Yinghong didn't recognize Qiao Xinruo, but she thought the girl was indeed quite pretty, and she was standing with Zhou Jinglan—no, standing together.
They're in the same group!
Leng Yinghong instantly became angry, pointing an enraged finger at Qiao Xinruo and demanding, "Zhou Jinglan, what's going on? What's your relationship with him? What exactly is your relationship?!"
Her tone made it seem as if she were Zhou Jinglan's first wife, and the current scene was a first wife catching her husband cheating on her husband with another woman.
"Zhou Jinglan, how could you do this to me? How dare you treat me like this? You have to explain yourself to me today, you have to give me an explanation!" Leng Yinghong shouted loudly, she was so angry that she was glaring at Qiao Xinruo, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
Is this woman mentally unstable?
Also, what exactly is her relationship with Zhou Jinglan?
Qiao Xinruo didn't believe Zhou Jinglan would dare to two-time, so she was quite curious about the current situation. However, she wouldn't shout like him; she felt ashamed and preferred to wait and see.
"Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Jinglan was too lazy to argue with Leng Yinghong. He felt that the past was his dark history, and he could accept being embarrassed. Now, in front of Qiao Xinruo, he didn't want to say another word. "Get out of the way."
Zhou Jinglan planned to leave with Qiao Xinruo first, and then explain to her later.
Leng Yinghong couldn't let anyone leave.
"Don't you dare leave!" Leng Yinghong stretched out her arms, blocking the two of them, and said sternly, "Neither of you is leaving until you explain yourselves clearly and give me an explanation!"
There aren't many people in the suburbs, but since this area is close to a park, quite a few people still come out to play.
Leng Yinghong's shout drew the attention of many people to the three of them.
One man and two women—judging from the situation, it's very likely a love triangle. People love a good show, so they immediately gathered around.
"What's going on here? What are those three arguing about?"
"It must be that the man cheated on his wife and got caught. I just heard that girl demanding an explanation from him!"
"To be honest, this 'old shoe' is quite good-looking; the original wife definitely can't compare..."
"This is so exciting! I wonder if they'll start fighting later?"
"Young people these days have no sense of propriety. They already have partners, so why are they still messing around outside? Now look what's happened, I think a fight is about to break out!"
People around them were talking and pointing, all thinking it was exactly as they imagined: a scandalous affair involving two women and one man.
When Leng Yinghong saw that more and more people were gathering, she felt that she was in the right and that she had to let the woman next to Zhou Jinglan know that what she was doing was immoral and would be condemned by others, so that she could force her to leave.
After all, Leng Yinghong still really wants to hold onto Zhou Jinglan.
"Everyone come and see! It's this woman! She's shameless! She seduced my man! She knew perfectly well—"
Leng Yinghong went along with it and began to pin the blame on Qiao Xinruo.
Those around him became even more excited after hearing only half of that sentence.
Just as they thought, this is really exciting!
But Zhou Jinglan and Qiao Xinruo are not pushovers. Leng Yinghong's decision to target them was her second mistake today.
The first mistake was that she chased after Zhou Jinglan as soon as she saw him.
"Leng Yinghong, shut up!" Zhou Jinglan said sternly, pulling Qiao Xinruo behind him to protect her. He exuded a strong aura of hostility.
He was originally too lazy to argue, but since Leng Yinghong dared to ruin Qiao Xinruo's reputation like this, he couldn't let it go.
Leng Yinghong?
Qiao Xinruo understood immediately upon hearing the name.
Leng Yingying's younger sister, the woman who impersonated Zhou Jinglan because of her birthmark—no, this is what she looks like. What makes her think she can impersonate him?
Zhou Jinglan really needs to go to the hospital for a checkup!
However, that's something she'll settle accounts with Zhou Jinglan about later. Right now, Qiao Xinruo definitely won't start a fight with Zhou Jinglan. She crossed her arms, looking like she was watching a show.
"You think you can fool everyone with a few words of nonsense? I think you haven't been in jail long enough to be reformed, right? Fine, then I don't mind sending you back to jail!" Zhou Jinglan said.
"What? This woman has been to jail?"
"The relationships are way too complicated!"
"Exciting! So exciting! This spectacle was definitely worth watching!"
People around them started talking again. Zhou Jinglan felt that this was not good for Qiao Xinruo, so he had to make things clear quickly before leaving.
“Leng Yinghong, you deceived me first and swindled a lot of money and things from me. I have absolutely no relationship with you. The police have investigated this matter thoroughly, otherwise you wouldn’t be in jail.”
"I'm warning you, if you continue to spout nonsense and ruin my partner's reputation, I'll immediately call the police and have you arrested again!"
"The object of my affection?" Qiao Xinruo chuckled inwardly. Zhou Jinglan was quite shrewd this time. Was he using the opportunity of protecting her to take the chance to ask for a formal title from her?
However, she won't give in so quickly; she'll play dumb for now.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yinghong felt incredibly wronged.
Why is Zhou Jinglan so protective of this woman? Besides being slightly better looking, what other merits does she have?
"So this woman was a con artist. She and her boyfriend were having a nice time together, and this con artist has already been to jail once. She's still so dishonest and dares to come up and provoke people. What was she thinking?"
"What else could they be thinking? Envy! Scammers deserve this fate!"
"Young man, don't be soft-hearted. This kind of swindler should be sent back to jail!"
The onlookers weren't fools either. After hearing Zhou Jinglan's words, they immediately guessed what was going on. Public opinion overwhelmingly sided with Zhou Jinglan and Qiao Xinruo, and everyone felt that Leng Yinghong deserved it.
However, Zhou Jinglan did not want Qiao Xinruo to become the focus of public opinion. He glared at Leng Yinghong and told her to behave herself before leaving with Qiao Xinruo.
"Let's go." Zhou Jinglan grabbed Qiao Xinruo's arm and quickly left.
The excitement ended, and the onlookers naturally dispersed.
After leaving, Zhou Jinglan quickly changed from his initial arrogant demeanor to one of extreme guilt and fear.
