Ye Jun had no choice but to hold back.
Suddenly, Bai Yue, who had been deep in thought, clapped her hands and exclaimed, "That's right! When Xu Qingyan ran over yesterday, his clothes were dry!"
The place where Ranran fell into the water isn't far from where we go to work; surely her clothes wouldn't dry so quickly from such a short walk!
With such irrefutable evidence presented, the discussion instantly ceased, and Wei Jinlian was rendered speechless.
In the silence, Xu Xiaocao weakly spoke up: "I'm sorry, Sister Ranran, it really wasn't my brother who saved you."
Wei Jinlian glared angrily at Xu Xiaocao and raised her hand to slap her.
But then Xu Xiaocao added, "It's because your brother saw someone pull you out, but he was too embarrassed to tell you who it was, so he just said that he rescued you himself."
Wei Jinlian instantly realized what was going on and chimed in, "Yes, that's right! My son didn't reveal who that person was because he was thinking of you. You wouldn't dare say it either, would you? Otherwise, you'd lose all face!"
After hearing what the mother and daughter said, some people started to gossip.
"Who is it? Are you too embarrassed to say it?"
"Was she rescued by some thugs or hooligans?"
"Zhang Ermazi from the village entrance didn't go to work yesterday. Was he the one who saved him?"
"You forgot, Boss Liu didn't go to work yesterday either, which means it's Boss Liu, right?"
"Whoever it is, they're incredibly lucky! Look at that slender waist and long legs, and that pretty face, who wouldn't want to touch her a couple of times?"
"Exactly, she's probably already been touched all over! What's with the pretense?"
Ye Jun was so angry that his eyes turned red. He rushed forward, wanting to teach those people who had spoken rudely a lesson.
Just then, a person stepped out from behind the crowd and said calmly, "I saved..." The crowd fell silent instantly.
How should I put it? Some people are born different from ordinary people, and at first glance, they seem unapproachable.
Lu Yi was just that kind of person. At this moment, he walked slowly with the sunlight behind him, and the crowd seemed to become his background.
Even though everyone's eyes were on him, he remained calm and composed, as if he was born to be this way.
Looking at Lu Yi's handsome and upright figure, his face as beautiful as jade, and especially the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye, he was simply captivating. If he were in later generations, he would definitely be a female killer.
At this moment, Lu Yi stopped in front of Ye Ran and smiled slightly at her. It was like a blow to the heart. Ye Ran, who hadn't blushed in a long time, actually felt a touch of shyness for the first time.
All that could be heard was Lu Yi asking with concern in a voice as clear as a flowing spring, "Are you alright?"
Ye Ran glanced at Lu Yi with gratitude, "It's nothing..."
At this moment, Wei Jinlian's voice, as loud as a rooster's crow, rang out, "You saved her? What proof do you have?"
Ye Ran quickly admitted, "It was Lu Zhiqing who saved me, I saw it clearly."
Wei Jinlian sneered, "Is that so? Then why didn't you say so sooner?"
Ye Ran smiled disdainfully: "Because I'm different from some people. I only plan to thank you privately."
I don't plan to go public. I can't expect someone to take advantage of me just because they saved me; that would be repaying kindness with enmity!
The villagers nodded in agreement; that made sense. If they said it aloud, things would definitely get complicated between Lu Zhiqing and Ye Ran.
Lu Zhiqing was clearly no ordinary person; how could he marry a village girl just because she saved his life?
Even if this village girl is Ye Ran, no matter how beautiful she is, in people's hearts at this time, she is just a country girl and is not worthy of someone like Lu Yi.
It's just a pity for Ye Ran; she probably won't be able to marry into a good family in the future...
After realizing what was happening, people began to cast questioning glances at Wei Jinlian and Xu Xiaocao. Had these two just been spouting nonsense all along...?
Under everyone's gaze, Wei Jinlian and Xu Xiaocao lowered their heads further and further...
