Chapter 46: Ask Her to Apologize
The words "body search" from the street office director rang like thunder in the third sister's ears, frightening her so much that her heart started pounding.
If this IOU was found, wouldn't her carefully crafted lie be exposed?
Her eyes rolled around, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally a plan came to her mind.
She just smiled pretending to be generous, but that smile made her look like a villain in a TV drama, which made people feel creepy.
"Wait!" She dragged out her voice, whetting everyone's appetite, "Actually... I have the IOU."
Wow, this plot twist is more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited and all their eyes turned to the third sister, as if they wanted to poke a few holes in her body.
This IOU is the key to whether Xu Yao can successfully break off the engagement and whether she can get rid of these vampires from the Sun family!
The third sister raised her chin proudly, enjoying everyone's attention, as if she was the protagonist of the show.
She said slowly, "I can give the IOU to Xu Yao, but..." She paused deliberately, like an old fox who likes to play hard to get, "She has to agree to one condition of mine."
When Xu Yao heard this, her heart sank suddenly, as if she was pressed down by a huge rock and she couldn't breathe.
She knew her third sister too well. This woman was scheming, deeper than the Mariana Trench. Who knew what weird conditions she would come up with?
"What are the conditions?" Xu Yao asked anxiously, with a tremor in her voice.
The third sister kept everyone in suspense and smiled mysteriously. She did not answer directly. Instead, she looked at Xu Yao meaningfully and said slowly: "As for this condition... keep it secret for now. Come back to me when you have thought it through." After that, she twisted her waist and walked away, leaving everyone in disarray in the wind.
What is this third sister up to?
Xu Yao's heart was in a state of confusion, like a tangled mess that she couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried.
She remembered that her father was sick and needed money, and she couldn't get the IOU back, what should she do?
She bit her lips anxiously and her palms were sweaty.
No, she has to find out what Third Sister's conditions are!
Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She quickly caught up with the third sister, grabbed her arm, and asked anxiously: "Third sister, what do you want? Just tell me!"
The third sister stopped and turned around with a sarcastic smile on her face: "Oh, so anxious? It seems that this IOU is very important to you!" She paused and said slowly: "My condition is very simple. As long as you publicly apologize in the village and say that you slandered the Sun family, I will return the IOU to you."
"What?!" Xu Yao couldn't believe her ears.
Let her apologize publicly?
Saying that she slandered the Sun family?
This is simply a fantasy!
What the Sun family did to her is too numerous to list. Why should she apologize?
"Why?" Xu Yao glared at her third sister, the anger in her eyes almost bursting out, "Why should I apologize? It was the Sun family who let me down, they forced me to break off the engagement! You..."
"Haha," the third sister sneered and interrupted Xu Yao, "If you don't want to apologize, then don't even think about getting the IOU back. You decide for yourself!"
Xue Han on the side couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He clenched his fists and his knuckles crackled.
He really wanted to rush up and give this arrogant woman a good beating.
However, Xu Yao gently pulled the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to act impulsively.
Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
She knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.
She had to stay calm and find a way to get the IOU back.
She looked at her third sister and said word by word, "Third sister, aren't you going too far by doing this? Don't you know what the Sun family did to me? You..."
Before Xu Yao finished speaking, the villagers around her began to talk.
They had long been fed up with the arrogance of the third sister, and now seeing Xu Yao arguing so forcefully, they all stood up for her.
"That's right, Third Sister, you're going too far!"
"Everyone knows what kind of character the Sun family is!"
"Xu Yao is so pitiful!"
The villagers' discussions became louder and louder, and the third sister's face became more and more ugly.
She didn't expect Xu Yao to fight back like this.
She originally thought that Xu Yao would obediently agree to her conditions, but she didn't expect...
The third sister's face turned pale and blue. She bit her lip, glared at Xu Yao fiercely, and said, "You..."
Xu Yao met her third sister's gaze without fear, "If you..."
Xu Yao's eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing the third sister's heart: "If you don't hand over the IOU, I will go to the commune and sue you for hiding important documents! This IOU is my father's life-saving money. Are you trying to force him to death? When the time comes, not only will the villagers stab you in the back, but the commune will not let you go either!"
Wow, this little pepper lights up easily!
When the villagers who were watching the fun heard this, they started talking loudly like popcorn popping out of a pot.
"Yes, Third Sister, please leave some room for yourself so that you can meet again in the future!" An aunt advised earnestly, just like a neighborhood committee lady.
"That's right, Xu Yao's father is already so ill, and you're still withholding his life-saving money. Don't you feel guilty?" Another old man also joined in, and his tone was even more ups and downs than that of an opera singer.
"Third sister, you are trying to force people to death!" someone shouted indignantly, and the voice was louder than thunder.
The third sister was so frightened by this sudden storm of public opinion that her face turned pale, as if she was covered with a layer of white flour, as ugly as it could be.
She didn't expect that Xu Yao would dare to challenge her like this, and she didn't expect that the villagers would overwhelmingly support Xu Yao.
Now, she was in a difficult situation.
Her eyes rolled around and she was thinking about how to get out of this situation.
She caught a glimpse of Xue Han, who was silent beside her, out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"Xu Yao, stop slandering me!" The third sister pointed at Xu Yao's nose and cursed, "You gave me this IOU voluntarily. Why do you say it's my fault? If you dare to slander me again, I will..."
"What's wrong with you?" Xue Han suddenly spoke. His voice was as cold as ice, making the third sister shiver.
Xue Han took a step forward, his tall figure like a mountain, blocking Xu Yao. His eyes were like a tiger protecting its cub, which made the third sister feel creepy.
"You...what do you want to do?" The third sister stammered, and her momentum instantly weakened by three points.
Xue Han sneered: "What? Of course, I'm protecting my wife! If you dare to bully her again, I'll make you pay for it!"
"Wife?" When the surrounding villagers heard this, they were immediately in an uproar, just like a vegetable market, extremely lively.
"Oh, it turns out Xu Yao and Xue Han are a couple!"
"I told you, these two are a perfect match!"
"Xue Han is a good guy. Xu Yao is so lucky!"
Xu Yao's face turned red all of a sudden, like a ripe apple, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She glanced at Xue Han secretly, and her heart was beating like a little rabbit.
Xue Han felt Xu Yao's gaze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He whispered to Xu Yao: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Xu Yao's heart trembled suddenly, as if surrounded by a warm current, feeling indescribably safe and sweet.
When the third sister saw this scene, she was almost going crazy with jealousy.
She glared at Xu Yao fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, you just wait!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away, looking like a lost dog, looking extremely miserable.
"Hey, Third Sister, where is the IOU?" someone shouted from behind.
The third sister ran away without looking back and disappeared in the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other and talked a lot.
"Why are you running, Third Sister?"
"Are you feeling guilty?"
"I think it's probably true!"
Xu Yao looked at her third sister's fleeing back and did not feel relieved. Instead, she felt even heavier.
She knew that the matter was not over yet, and her third sister would definitely come up with other conspiracies and tricks to deal with her.
Xue Han walked to Xu Yao, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will always be with you."
Xu Yao raised her head and looked into Xue Han's determined eyes, her heart filled with strength.
She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would not be afraid because she had Xue Han by her side.
"Yeah." Xu Yao nodded, her eyes firm.
"What are you going to do next?" Xue Han asked.
Xu Yao took a deep breath and said, "I..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Xu Yao, come out!"
