Chapter 104 The Retribution of Prejudice
As soon as these words fell, the two people who were arguing suddenly fell silent.
Meeting Yan Yixing's sharp gaze, Lu Haiyan instantly felt cold all over.
He could no longer utter the words he had just threatened to report Liu Hong.
Seeing that she kept silent, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haiyan asked me to help persuade Captain Guo just now. As you know, I'm not good at talking, so she misunderstood me."
As she spoke, Liu Hong secretly winked at Lu Haiyan.
If this matter gets out, both of them will be finished.
Lu Haiyan understood what she meant. Even though she was full of resentment, she didn't dare to say anything at this time. She just nodded in agreement with Liu Hong's words.
"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. When I thought about my husband Guo wanting to divorce me, I..."
As she spoke, Lu Haiyan couldn't control her tears.
She didn't expect that after enjoying such a glorious life for so long and finally joining the army, what she ended up waiting for was that the man wanted to retire and divorce her?
Yan Yixing looked between the two of them, not sure whether he believed Liu Hong's words or not.
"The case of Guo Datong has not been concluded yet. You should go back and wait for the news."
Yan Yixing did not have any sympathy for Lu Haiyan's experience.
After all, she almost hit a pregnant woman, and this pregnant woman is now the baby of their Pingzhou Island.
Not being cold to her was already part of his upbringing as a political commissar.
Although Yan Yixing usually looked gentle and easy to talk to, his expression without smiling or getting angry at this moment gave people a chilling feeling.
Not only did Lu Haiyan stop crying instantly, but even Liu Hong felt a chill in her heart.
"Yes, Haiyan, you go back first. I'll come to see you later."
Liu Hong still remembered that she had just said she wanted to report her, and now she just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
As for whether he will find her later, only God knows.
But Lu Haiyan had finally managed to stop Liu Hong, so she was not willing to leave at this moment.
Holding her arm tightly, she murmured, "You...really going to come to me? Not lie to me?"
Hearing this, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with impatience, but she still endured it and comforted her, "Yes, you go back first."
Didn’t you see that Yan Yixing’s gaze was becoming more and more strange?
If the matter continues, Liu Hong is afraid that the truth will be revealed.
Lu Haiyan glanced at Yan Yixing, then at Liu Hong, knowing that now was not the time to speak, and finally had to let go of her hand reluctantly.
Finally sending the man away, Liu Hong hurried back home. After Yan Yixing came in, she closed the door behind her, fearing that Lu Haiyan would strike back again.
Yan Yixing just looked at her abnormal appearance quietly until she closed the door, then he spoke.
"You're not going to explain?"
Seeing that expressionless face, Liu Hong's heart skipped a beat and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
But she still said, "I just had good intentions. Seeing that Lao Guo's leg was injured, I wanted to let Haiyan help out at the hydroponic base. Maybe she could have a job in the future. Who knew she would do such a thing?"
She quickly cleared the matter up, and by the end, she felt righteous again.
Hearing this, Yan Yixing couldn't help but sneer.
"Would you be so kind?"
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew very well that the wife he married was the one who despised the poor and loved the rich.
He originally thought that since she grew up in the city, her interpersonal skills would be better than Liu Jiao who came back from the countryside.
But I didn't know that was not the case at all.
Liu Hong knows Yan Yixing too well.
If he was still angry at her, it meant that the matter was not serious and she still had room to maneuver.
And once he put on this calm look, she knew that something serious was going on.
But how could she admit that she had such thoughts?
"You don't believe me? Am I so untrustworthy in your heart?"
Seeing her like this, how could Yan Yixing not guess what was going on?
She must have done something shameful, and this matter is related to Su Ranran.
"You think I won't be able to find out if you don't tell me?"
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Yan Yixing lied to her.
Sure enough, when Liu Hong heard him say this, her expression changed.
Yan Yixing's heart sank to the bottom.
"Tell me, what did you do?"
He didn't believe that Lu Haiyan would threaten to report her for no reason.
Liu Hong's face turned pale and red. Facing his eyes that seemed to see through everything, all her excuses seemed like a joke.
Even after being found out, she confessed on her own initiative, leaving her no choice at all.
Liu Hong could already imagine what Yan Yixing's expression would be when he found out what she was going to do.
Instead of letting him investigate, it is better to confess yourself.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Hong hesitantly said, "I...I told you not to be angry."
At this moment, she still did not forget to state a condition.
Yan Yixing said nothing, but just stared at her intently.
Liu Hong had no choice but to grit her teeth and vaguely tell Lu Haiyan that she had asked Lu Haiyan to go to the hydroponic base in order to interfere with Su Ranran's cultivation work.
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole yard seemed to fall into deathly silence.
Yan Yixing thought of all the possibilities, but the only thing he had never thought of was that she would want to destroy the hydroponic water spinach for her own selfish reasons.
That’s green vegetables!
Vegetables that can be grown with just water!
Once they succeed, they will no longer have to worry about having no vegetables to eat on the island!
Other people's wives went to work in the water even though they were pregnant, but what about her? Not only did she not help, she was also thinking about causing trouble?
Yan Yixing was so angry that he was shaking all over!
He had never hated his blindness and arrogance as much as he did at that moment.
"Liu Hong, Liu Hong, do you know what you are doing?"
Yan Yixing's voice was filled with disbelief and despair.
Seeing him like this, Liu Hong panicked even more. She reached out to grab his clothes. For the first time, she bowed her head and apologized to him: "I... I was just confused for a moment. I felt uncomfortable when I heard you praise her. How can you praise someone else's wife? Obviously, I am your wife, right?"
Liu Hong has always had a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.
That is, she is not the real blood of the Liu family, but was taken away by mistake.
She had lived in Beijing since she was a child, but when she was fifteen, her father told her that she was adopted by mistake and the real eldest daughter of the Liu family was Liu Jiao, who had been raised in the countryside.
At that moment, Liu Hong felt as if her whole world was about to collapse.
How could she be a country girl? Everyone praised her for being generous and beautiful.
But she couldn't help but admit the facts.
Because Liu Jiao's face looks almost the same as her mother's, no one would doubt her identity.
Liu Hong was unfortunate. At the age of fifteen, she went from being a popular girl in a wealthy family to a fake.
But she was lucky because everyone in the Liu family liked her. In the end, she succeeded in staying and married Yan Yixing, who was originally supposed to be Liu Jiao's childhood sweetheart.
But the incident had brought her such a huge shock that Liu Hong wanted to prove all the time that she was born to be a city dweller.
Therefore, she dressed exquisitely and stayed away from country people, as if only in this way could she cut herself off from the word "country".
Yan Yixing closed his eyes and staggered involuntarily.
Is this the retribution for his original prejudice?
Liu Hong actually wanted to destroy the hydroponic base for such a ridiculous reason?
