Li Shanxing learned the news from her neighbor next door. She was lying in bed with a sore back, so she got up to go for a walk in the yard and soak up the sun. She happened to hear her neighbor talking to someone.
The neighbor next door is one of the village's most notorious loudspeakers, second only to Widow Wang, and is Li Shanxing's aunt.
Auntie was at the village entrance just now. After Li Xiuxiu and the others left, she couldn't hold back any longer and went home to spread the word. Li Shanxing happened to overhear it. Li Xiuxiu's return was within her expectations, but this woman actually brought back a foreign man. Auntie said he was quite handsome, and Li Shanxing's first thought was Bruno.
Li Xiuxiu didn't know any other foreign men. Li Shanxing's mind started racing. She hadn't given up on Bruno yet, even though she was currently suffering from a serious illness, she was very open-minded.
Bruno is a doctor, and a doctor certainly wouldn't reject her because of a minor illness. Besides, Bruno definitely doesn't know about her situation. If she just says she's an innocent victim, Bruno might even take pity on her!
Anyway, no one knows whether it's true or false. As long as she insists that she was harmed by Li Xiuxiu, no one will doubt her.
Wanting to seize the initiative, Li Shanxing disregarded her frail health and staggered over. Just as she expected, it really was Bruno. Li Shanxing immediately put on a pitiful look, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Bruno, did you know I was sick, and that's why you came to see me?"
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but rub her arms. It was disgusting. This woman's self-esteem was off the charts. How could she tell that Bruno had come specifically for her?
Bruno had been by Li Xiuxiu's side the whole time; anyone with a modicum of self-awareness wouldn't have thought that way.
However, Li Shanxing's English has improved a lot, so it seems that her time hanging out with foreigners wasn't wasted.
Bruno was startled and instinctively moved closer to Li Xiuxiu, waving his hands repeatedly, "Don't misunderstand, I am Xiuxiu's fiancé now, I've come to meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Li Shanxing's face immediately changed, unable to believe her ears. How could it be her fiancé?
"Bruno, don't be fooled by Li Xiuxiu. She's a bad woman. She's been sleeping around with several men and has even contracted a sexually transmitted disease. You shouldn't be with her; she'll ruin you..."
Li Shanxing brazenly slandered Li Xiuxiu in front of her family. Because she spoke in English, which no one could understand, she assumed that Ye Qingqing couldn't understand either. She even looked somewhat smug and confident.
“Li Xiuxiu only graduated from junior high school, she’s uneducated, she can’t even speak English. You won’t have anything in common with her. You can accept such a vulgar Li Xiuxiu, why can’t you accept me? I’m more educated than her, I can speak English, you won’t be ashamed to take me out… Bruno, don’t be fooled by this woman…”
Ye Qingqing wanted to interrupt several times, but she held back, letting Bruno handle this himself.
Li Xiuxiu and her parents couldn't understand a word. Li Xiuxiu remained relatively calm, trusting Bruno, but her parents were frantic, wondering what kind of gibberish he was speaking, and what he was saying.
"Because Xiuxiu is kinder and more noble than you. The things you've done are disgusting to me. Li Shanxing, don't treat everyone like fools!"
Bruno was furious. He felt no remorse for harming his friend and was now slandering Xiuxiu in front of him. His character was despicable.
