Gu Changzheng, still reeling from the shock of Lu Huaijiao's madness, snapped back to reality in an instant. His narrow eyes swept towards the doorway, a chilling killing intent emanating from them.
Li Xiaoya felt a chill run down her spine from the gaze and instinctively took a large step back.
"Brother Long March".
"Brother Changzheng?"
Lu Huaijiao laughed in anger upon hearing this address.
After getting off Gu Changzheng, the man stopped trying to figure out why he had returned to ten years ago; there were more important things to do now.
"Li Xiaoya, how have I treated you all these years?"
Li Xiaoya was stunned. Lu Huaijiao treated her like a servant.
If someone doesn't eat or wear anything, they'll give it to you. What else could that be but a maid?
Li Xiaoya harbored resentment, but dared not speak out, fearing she would lose Lu Huaijiao, her cash cow.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy about getting married? Don't worry, I'll help you talk to Uncle Lu and make things clear. You like Zhao Zhiqing, not Brother Changzheng."
"Zhao Zhiqing?" After hearing this name for many years, Lu Huaijiao still couldn't quite remember who it was.
However, her hesitation led to a misunderstanding among those around her.
Gu Changzheng's face was ashen, and his eyes were dark and unfathomable.
Li Xiaoya was secretly delighted, thinking that Lu Huaijiao was indeed all looks and no substance, and that she was always so stupid.
"Yes, it's Zhao Zhiqing. Didn't you give him a harmonica before?"
"It's him!" Lu Huaijiao remembered that she once had a harmonica that she didn't want and casually tossed it to someone who asked her for a harmonica.
She remembered that the person seemed to get along quite well with Li Xiaoya.
"Jiaojiao, do you remember now? To tell you the truth, Zhao Zhiqing knew I was coming to see you and asked me to deliver a letter to you."
Li Xiaoya handed the letter over as if no one else was there.
Once Lu Huaijiao accepts the letter, it will confirm her relationship with Zhao Jianguo. At that point, even if Lu Huaijiao had a hundred mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
She wouldn't believe that Brother Changzheng would still want her then.
Just as Li Xiaoya was calculating, Lu Huaijiao raised her hand and slapped the envelope out of Li Xiaoya's hand.
"Huai Jiao?"
"Li Xiaoya, you're really wicked! You knew I was getting married today, yet you still brought me a letter from someone else. What, are you trying to ruin my wedding?"
Do you really think that if you ruin my wedding, my man will fall in love with you and marry you?
"With your stupidity, don't you even look in the mirror? You dare to covet my man, Lu Huaijiao's man?"
Lu Huaijiao spoke in her usual barbaric and unreasonable manner.
It could make someone cry with anger, yet it also sounded incredibly pleasant to the man who had just been looking gloomy.
Even though Lu Huaijiao has gone mad, she has her merits!
Lu Huaijiao was unaware that Gu Changzheng was secretly criticizing her; otherwise, Gu Changzheng would definitely be in deep trouble.
She crossed her arms over her chest, stared at Li Xiaoya, whose eyes were red and on the verge of tears, and said, word by word, "Li Xiaoya, from when I went to the countryside in 1973 until now, it's been two whole years. I won't go into the details of how much you've taken from me and how much you've used. Just give me back three hundred yuan, and we'll be even."
"Jiaojiao???"
"Wait a minute, don't talk to me like that. I'm not familiar with bad women who have their eyes on my man."
When Lu Huaijiao thought about how she had poured her heart out to Li Xiaoya before her rebirth, only to be betrayed by Li Xiaoya in the end, she felt an urge to slap Li Xiaoya a few times.
However, she thought again that hitting someone would hurt her hands, so she decided not to hit her and just let Li Xiaoya spit out what she had eaten and used.
Gu Changzheng, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips violently.
Is there any woman in this world with a worse temper than Lu Huaijiao?
The 'bad woman' Lu Huaijiao glanced at Li Xiaoya, whose face turned pale in turn, and chuckled coldly.
"Don't even think about going back on your word. If you do, I'll have my dad deduct your work points to pay off the debt. You know my dad's the brigade leader, right?"
Gu Changzheng: ...
That's my dad!
Li Xiaoya was completely stunned, not knowing how things had turned out this way.
Could it be because of that letter? That made Lu Huaijiao suddenly realize her feelings? Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "No, Huaijiao, listen to me. It was Zhao Zhiqing who forced me to give you the letter. He has his eye on your family's wealth and wants to take advantage of you."
"Just like you, I know. You see that my family is rich, so you take advantage of me, eating and using my things, and now you still have the nerve to refuse to pay me back."
Lu Huaijiao has a truly sharp tongue. But what's even more venomous is yet to come.
"You know I've spent a lot of money on you, haven't I? After all these years, even a dog would be familiar with me by now, right? How come you're the only one I can't tame? Always thinking of harming me behind my back?"
"Let me tell you, pay me back right now. I'm married now and I need money to support my family and raise my children. I don't have time to play with you, you ungrateful wretch."
Li Xiaoya originally wanted to argue, but after Lu Huaijiao said that, even her thick skin couldn't hold back.
All I could do was run away crying, covering my face.
They forgot to pick up that letter.
Having successfully driven the person away with her words, Lu Huaijiao clapped her hands, turned around, and saw Gu Changzheng standing to the side. She frowned.
"Gu Changzheng, why are you still so dirty?"
Gu Changzheng: ? ? ? ?
Who just pushed me to the ground and started hitting and scratching me?
"I……"
"You're too dirty, I can't sleep with you."
Gu Changzheng: ...
Thank you, but I don't want to sleep with her.
"Go take a shower, or you won't be going to bed tonight." The tone of disdain was obvious.
"Also, where is the dowry my dad gave me? Why didn't you bring it back? Go and get back the quilt and luggage I had at the educated youth settlement right away. I can't sleep at night without my familiar quilt."
