Chapter 144 For Good Luck
Qiao Wanyin, however, remained calm and walked up to Fang Wanyu.
"Sister Wanyu, do you have any evidence to prove that I have a shady relationship with He Dayong?"
"You have to provide evidence when you speak. Making up stories to deceive people can lead to legal consequences."
She spoke each word carefully and calmly.
“False accusations and defamation are illegal, you know that? I can sue you.”
"This..." Fang Wanyu's eyes darted around, and she stammered, "Who in the village doesn't know this..."
She couldn't give any specific details or any evidence, and could only offer vague and evasive answers.
This scene, witnessed by Song Yazhi, gave her a slight jolt. Was this really just a rumor?
"Has the whole village heard about it?"
Qiao Wanyin gave a cold laugh, which instead carried a chilling aura.
"Do you know where He Dayong is right now?"
Fang Wanyu was taken aback, and her lips moved slightly.
"I'm not related to him, how would I know... Why should I be the one to inquire about such things?"
"He was in jail two months ago for injuring someone in a fight."
Qiao Wanyin's tone was firm and cold, each word like a hammer pounding on the ground.
"Should we go to the police station right now to check the records and see if there's anything improper between us? Tell me, Fang Wanyu, tell me, is our relationship innocent or not?"
Fang Wanyu's face turned pale instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head.
Song Yazhi, however, refused to give up and suddenly stood up.
"Even if He Dayong is making this up, what about Fang Xiaolin from Hong Kong? Do you dare say you don't know him at all? Do you dare swear to God that you have absolutely no connection with that man?"
"know."
Qiao Wanyin spoke frankly without any hesitation, "I was young back then and was deceived in my feelings. I naively thought he was sincere towards me. But I woke up early and didn't fall for him again. Later, we broke off contact and never spoke to each other again."
"shut up!"
Song Yazhi was so angry that her hand trembled as she pointed at Qiao Wanyin.
"Our Fu family will not marry a woman like you whose reputation is so ambiguous! Once your name is ruined, it's ruined, and it can't be cleared up with a few flimsy explanations!"
"Get out! Get out of my house right now!"
Song Yazhi's voice was almost hoarse, "You...you're completely insane! You're a lunatic! Who gave you the audacity to spout nonsense and throw a tantrum here!"
Song Yazhi had lived for over fifty years and had never seen a girl so shrewish and difficult.
She always valued appearances and family reputation above all else.
But Qiao Wanyin could even joke about her own reputation, and she did so so casually.
In her view, this was simply an intolerable act of audacity!
Qiao Wanyin felt a surge of relief, as if her long-suppressed anger had finally found an outlet.
She wasn't unaware of the meaning of forbearance, but sometimes, the more you yield, the more others perceive you as weak and easily bullied.
As long as she's willing to go all out and dare to break off all pretense, what can Song Yazhi do to her?
"What a tragedy, what a terrible tragedy!"
Song Yazhi collapsed on the sofa, tears streaming down her face.
"What sins did I commit in my past life to deserve this suffering in this life! My son finally found a girlfriend, but she's a girl of dubious origin with a terrible reputation... God, why are you so blind!"
"Mom, please don't say that."
Qiao Wanyin slowly squatted down, but her voice was clear and distinct.
“Fu Li’an is such a good child. He’s kind, filial, hardworking, and down-to-earth. Everyone who meets him speaks highly of him. The way you’re saying this makes it sound like he shouldn’t have been born. How can you bear to say such things about your own son?”
Song Yazhi: "???!!!"
She stood there, stunned, her mind blank.
What nonsense is this woman spouting?
What exactly is she trying to express?
"Sister Wanyin."
Fang Wanyu frowned and interjected, her voice carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and worry.
"How could you scare Aunt Song like that? She's old and can't handle this kind of shock! Besides, things are already messy enough as they are, and you're still talking like that. If Brother Li An finds out, he'll definitely be angry!"
"I scared her?"
Qiao Wanyin smiled gently, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.
"I'm just stating the facts. If the truth is frightening, that's not my fault."
Qiao Wanyin glanced at her sideways, her tone full of sarcasm and disdain.
"Fang Wanyu, if you hadn't always been gossiping, spreading rumors, and stirring up trouble, how could things have turned out like this today?"
"You appear gentle and virtuous on the surface, kind and considerate to others, but in reality? You're full of schemes and very cunning."
"Otherwise, last time, when that bad guy poisoned your cousin's porridge, you were standing right next to him, clearly seeing everything, yet you didn't say a word. What exactly happened?"
"What? Poisoning?"
The anger on Song Yazhi's face was instantly replaced by shock, and she completely forgot that she was angry just now.
"Who poisoned them? Where did they poison them? How did they poison them?"
"Aunt Song, that's not how it is!"
Fang Wanyu's face turned pale, and she quickly waved her hand to explain.
"Sister Wanyin is wrong. That's not what I meant at all. I didn't expect anyone to be there..."
"What are you not?"
A chilling voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Qiao Wanyin turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound, only to see Fu Li'an standing at the door.
"Adong!"
When Song Yazhi saw her son whom she hadn't seen for many days, her heart ached.
"You're finally back..."
Mom hadn't seen you for several days and was thinking of coming to see you, but who knew that this would happen as soon as she arrived...
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Although Fu Li'an's tone was lighter, it still carried a hint of reproach.
"I'll arrange a car to pick you up. You're so old; what if you have any trouble on the way..."
As he spoke, his gaze swept coldly over Fang Wanyu, as if she were a stranger.
Finally, his gaze slowly fell on his wife, Qiao Wanyin.
"Qingqing, what happened?"
His gaze suddenly fell on the kitchen knife on the table.
Fu Li'an frowned deeply, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.
"What's with this knife? Who took it out?"
"that……"
Qiao Wanyin forced a smile, but her eyes darted away.
"It's nothing, really nothing... Mom just arrived and was so excited. She thought we hadn't eaten together in a long time, so she decided to kill a chicken to celebrate and bring good luck!"
"A lively chicken-killing spectacle?"
Fu Li'an's voice was full of doubt, "When did our family start making a 'fun' by killing chickens? You know perfectly well that Mom is most afraid of blood and hates these kinds of things the most."
He slowly shifted his gaze from the kitchen knife and re-examined his wife's face.
Qiao Wanyin lowered her head, seemingly trying her best to hide something.
He then glanced at his mother, Song Yazhi, and Fang Wanyu in turn; one looked aggrieved and angry, while the other offered a flustered explanation.
He knows his wife too well.
Qiao Wanyin is always calm and rational, and she will not easily get angry, no matter how big the matter is.
How could it be that "nothing was wrong" at home when her mother and Fang Wanyu both appeared at the same time?
Qiao Wanyin blinked quietly, managing to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.
