Chapter 75 Xu Yao, I Love You
The cool night breeze dispelled the noise from the market, but it could not dispel the tense atmosphere among the crowd.
A bright red wound on Xue Han’s strong arm was particularly eye-catching. It was the evidence of Lin Wan’s madness.
Xu Yao's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
She carefully used clean gauze to wipe Xue Han's wound bit by bit, her movements so gentle as if she was treating a fragile treasure.
Her fingers trembled slightly and her eyes were red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall.
"Does it hurt?" she asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible sob in her voice.
Xue Han grinned, revealing a slightly ruffian smile, trying to ease the solemn atmosphere.
"This little injury is nothing! Back then, I..."
"Shut up!" Xu Yao interrupted him unhappily, but a warm feeling surged in her heart.
It's already this time, and this guy still wants to be a hero?
She glared at him angrily and said, "Don't talk, bandage it well! If you continue to be stubborn, I...I will ignore you!"
Xue Han immediately shut his mouth obediently, like a child who had done something wrong, but his eyes were always glued to Xu Yao, full of love and heartache.
"Yaoyao, I'm fine, really. Don't worry, this injury will heal in a few days." He comforted her softly, as if the injured person was not him, but her.
Xu Yao didn't say anything, but bandaged his wound more carefully, and every movement was full of pity.
She knew that Xue Han was injured in order to protect her. If he hadn't stepped in front of her in time, she would have been the one who got hurt.
Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty and touched.
The people around were deeply moved by this scene.
In this age full of calculation and exploitation, this sincere feeling is particularly precious.
Many people were whispering and talking among themselves.
Just then, a familiar voice broke the warm atmosphere.
"Everyone, get out of my way! Get out of my way!" The director of the street office pushed through the crowd and walked over with a serious face.
Behind him were several uniformed policemen, whose expressions also looked grim.
"Director, why are you here?" someone asked curiously.
The director of the subdistrict office had a livid face and swept his eyes across the crowd, finally landing on Lin Wan and Sun's mother, who were slumped on the ground.
"Hmph, if I don't come soon, I don't know what trouble you will cause!" He shouted harshly, his tone filled with anger.
"After our investigation, we found that Lin Wan and Sun's mother had maliciously sabotaged Xu Yao's business many times, spread rumors, slandered her maliciously, and even tried to accuse her of tax evasion and tax evasion, disrupting the market order. Lin Wan even injured someone with a knife, which was a serious case! Their actions have violated the law and must be severely punished according to law!"
The director of the subdistrict office spoke in a resounding voice, and every word was like a bombshell, exploding in the crowd.
When Sun's mother heard this, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
"It's unfair! I'm innocent! I didn't do anything. It was her... Lin Wan who ordered me to do this!" She pointed at Lin Wan, trying to clear herself of any involvement.
Lin Wan was also panicked. She didn't expect the matter to be exposed so quickly, and she didn't expect the director of the street office to show up in person.
Her face turned pale and her lips trembled. She wanted to argue, but found that she had no way to refute it.
"Take them away!" The director of the street office waved his hand, and several policemen immediately stepped forward, picked up Lin Wan and Sun's mother, and put them in the police car.
As they watched the police car roar away, the crowd cheered.
People stood up for Xu Yao and condemned the evil deeds of Lin Wan and Sun's mother.
"People like this should be arrested. They really deserve it!"
"That's right, you have no ability, but you want to hurt others. It's really abominable!"
"It's not easy for Xu Yao to earn money with her own hands. She's really great!"
Listening to the discussions around her, Xu Yao's heart was filled with gratitude.
She knew that all this was inseparable from Xue Han's help and everyone's support.
She turned her head and looked at Xue Han affectionately, "Xue Han..." she called softly, her voice as gentle as a pool of spring water.
Xue Han stroked her cheek gently, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, everything is over. I am here and will not let anyone hurt you again."
He took a deep breath, suddenly took Xu Yao's hand, walked to the center of the market, and shouted with all his strength: "Xu Yao, I love you! I, Xue Han, only recognize you in this life! I want to marry you, and I want to live with you forever!"
His voice was loud and firm, piercing through the crowd and echoing throughout the entire marketplace.
The people around were stunned, and then broke into thunderous applause and cheers.
They were deeply moved by Xue Han's sincere confession and sent their blessings to them.
Xu Yao's eyes were moist. She didn't expect Xue Han to confess to her in front of so many people.
Her heart was filled with happiness and emotion.
"I love you too!" she said with a sob, holding Xue Han's hand tightly, as if she wanted to integrate him into her life.
With everyone's blessings, Xu Yao's small business also ushered in a new turning point.
After this incident, more people knew her name and recognized her products.
Her business is getting better and better, and she is very busy every day.
After experiencing this turmoil, Xu Yao and Xue Han thought that everything was over and they could finally live a happy life in peace.
However, what Xu Yao didn't know was that this was just the calm before the storm...
"Brother Han, do you feel that the new woman who came to the village recently looks at you strangely?" Xu Yao asked casually while tidying up the stall.
Xue Han smiled indifferently: "Are you overthinking it? I'm such an upright person, who would have any thoughts about me?" Xu Yao curled her lips, always feeling a little uneasy.
The night wind was so noisy that it felt like eight hundred ducks quacking in her ears. Xu Yao always felt that things were not that simple.
Lin Wan and Sun's mother are definitely not the type to give up easily. There must be something else waiting for them.
Just after returning home, before she had time to catch her breath, Xu Yao found something stuck in the crack of her door.
I took it out and took a look, wow, it was still an anonymous letter!
Who still plays this old-fashioned trick these days?
When she unfolded the letter paper, the smell of cheap ink rushed to her head, making Xu Yao frown.
The handwriting on the letter was crooked, as if it was written by an elementary school student, but the content was not elementary school at all: "This is just the beginning. You will not have a good life."
After reading the letter, Xu Yao crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the fire.
Tsk, who are you threatening?
Do you think she was scared?
However, I still feel a little nervous.
After all, it is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark.
"What's wrong? Who made our Yaoyao angry?" Xue Han came in with a basin of hot water, and seeing that Xu Yao looked unhappy, he asked with concern.
Xu Yao hugged Xue Han's arm, buried her head in his shoulder and rubbed it: "It's okay, I just feel... like someone is watching us."
Xue Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Just keep your eyes on me, what are you afraid of? With me here, no one can touch a hair on your body!"
"Oh my, that's really domineering!" Xu Yao raised her head and kissed Xue Han on the cheek, then pointed at the account book on the table that had not been tidied up yet and said, "Brother Domineering Han, can you help me calculate today's income? Let's see how far we are from a well-off life?"
Xue Han readily agreed, and the two of them got together and started to settle the accounts.
The room was filled with a warm atmosphere, as if the shadows outside did not exist at all.
However, no one noticed that a pair of eyes outside the window were staring at them viciously... "Brother Xue Han, take a look at my new clothes. Do they look good?"
