Chapter 2 Rebirth Past
Ye Jun and Bai Yue were instantly shocked: "What?"
Ye Ran said earnestly, "It really was Lu Zhiqing who saved me. I saw it clearly. He had a cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye. Are there any other people in the village with cinnabar moles at the corner of their eyes?"
Ye Jun asked in confusion, "But when we rushed over yesterday, we didn't see Lu Zhiqing! Only Qingyan found you had fallen into the water and called us all over. When we thanked him, he didn't deny it."
Bai Yue chimed in, "Yes, Ranran, Qingyan was the only one by the river yesterday!"
Ye Ran stated her conjecture with certainty: "It must be that Lu Zhiqing was too embarrassed to stand up for my reputation, so he just saved me and left quickly. Xu Qingyan happened to pass by and found me lying there, so he claimed credit for someone else's work."
Ye Jun suddenly realized, "Is that so? Then we should really thank that educated youth, Lu."
Bai Yue was still puzzled: "Then why did Qingyan assume that he saved you? Isn't he afraid of being exposed? This child doesn't seem like that kind of person!"
Ye Ran sneered: "How can he not be that kind of person? Aren't the Xu family just shameless people like that!"
"They only got to build such a big brick house because they reported my grandfather. Xu Qingyan has such a family, and his family members are all so difficult to deal with. How good can he be?"
When Bai Yue spoke of her maternal grandfather, she fell silent. Bai Yue's father was the largest landowner in Liuye Village, and all the land in Liuye Village and several nearby villages belonged to the Bai family.
Although the Bai family were landlords, they never mistreated farmers. On the contrary, they were charitable and even donated most of their wealth and supplies during the war.
When the country was established and the purges took place, Mr. Bai was not implicated at all. He was even awarded a commendation as a patriotic businessman.
Xu Qingyan's father, Xu Qiang, was originally a long-term worker in the Bai family. He had a crush on Bai Yue, the young lady of the Bai family, but when that failed, he resorted to underhanded tactics. He somehow obtained a document from an enemy country and secretly placed it in the old master Bai's study. He then stepped forward and reported the old master Bai.
During the cleanup, Old Master Bai was unable to defend himself, his health gradually deteriorated, and he eventually passed away in despair...
However, Xu Qiang, the whistleblower, received a reward for his report and went home to build a new house and marry Xu Qingyan's mother, Wei Jinlian.
Miss Bai Yue escaped punishment thanks to the help of a friend of Old Master Bai. She then married Ye Jun, another long-term worker in the Bai family, who was Ye Ran's father.
In order to marry Bai Yue, Ye Jun also fell out with his parents and separated from the Ye family.
When the two first got together, they had nothing, but neither of them were lazy, and they gradually made a living together. Most importantly, their feelings for each other grew stronger day by day, and they had their child, Ye Ran.
However, because of Xu Qiang's previous feelings for Bai Yue, Wei Jinlian harbored a deep resentment towards the Ye family and had been targeting them for over a decade, resulting in a consistently hostile relationship between the two families.
Bai Yue said reluctantly, "Don't blame the child. Qingyan has always been very polite to me since he was little. This time, he probably just didn't have a chance to explain himself clearly."
Ye Ran sneered. In her past life, it was because of this incident that she fell into the water and thought Xu Qingyan had saved her, so she secretly fell in love with him, and from then on, she was doomed...
Not long after she fell in love, Xu Qingyan proposed to her. She married Xu Qingyan with great anticipation, thinking that a lifetime of happiness and bliss awaited her.
Unexpectedly, the college entrance examination was reinstated not long after. Ye Ran was very happy after the reinstatement because she had just finished high school and her grades had always been among the best. Her teachers all said that it was a sure thing that she would be admitted to a university in Beijing.
