Chapter 22 Hesitation
How could such a fine young man have been so foolish as to fall for the Qiao family's daughter?
Although Liu Wangfu didn't say it, he actually felt a little sorry for him.
"Father, what did you say?"
Liu Piaopiao, who was sitting to the side, suddenly changed her expression and almost dropped her cup.
Fu Li'an actually...
Is he engaged to another girl?
Or is it that girl from Old Qiao's family?
How is that possible!
Didn't she hear before that the Qiao family's daughter was already engaged?
Are all these rumors false?
Liu Piaopiao stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.
Isn't she just a woman who eloped with someone to live that kind of miserable life?
It's utterly disappointing that such words could come out of Fang Wanyu's mouth.
Sitting next to her, Fang Wanyu coldly observed Liu Piaopiao, only to see that her face was full of shock.
In that instant, a sense of smugness welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but sneer.
It seems that the world has changed.
But some things are still exactly the same as in the previous life.
This Liu Piaopiao, once again, lost herself in Fu Lian'an's gentle embrace.
That infatuated gaze never changed.
She pretended to be concerned and quickly walked over to Liu Piaopiao's side.
He crouched down close to her ear and whispered in an almost seductive voice, "That's right, Comrade Liu. I had just arrived here last night and hadn't even settled in when I heard something astonishing—Fu Li'an is getting engaged to that girl from the Qiao family! It really scared me so much that I almost dropped the teacup I was holding."
"I was completely stunned. Who would believe such a thing? How could Fu Li'an be attracted to someone with such a terrible reputation?"
"Logically speaking, we should choose a girl from a good family and with good upbringing, so that she is worthy of our Brother Li An."
"Someone from a family background like yours is the real perfect match!"
Liu Piaopiao stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.
"..."
Why do Fang Wanyu's words sound so harsh?
The more Liu Piaopiao thought about it, the more puzzled she became.
In her previous life, Fang Wanyu had publicly stated more than once that she was not qualified to pursue an ideal person like Fu Li'an.
How could she have become a completely different woman in just a few months?
"Comrade Fang Wanyu, please stop now!"
Fu Li'an frowned and interrupted her.
"Please don't slander anyone."
Fu Li'an never expected that Fang Wanyu would say such rude and sarcastic words.
This not only caused great humiliation to herself, but also put the village chief's daughter in an extremely embarrassing position.
He had always thought that this Miss Fang was just a pampered darling of her family.
Although she may be a bit willful and spoiled, it's not a big problem.
However, after hearing what he had just said, Fu Li'an had to admit that his understanding had been seriously flawed.
It turns out it's not just a matter of being arrogant and willful.
Even their gaze towards others was filled with condescending judgment.
Fu Lian'an's expression grew increasingly gloomy and somber.
Fang Wanyu, however, revealed a charming expression and deliberately rested her arm on his arm and swayed it a few times.
“What I said is wrong! If you don’t believe me, go ask the villagers yourself! Everyone in Fishtail Village knows that Qiao Manqing isn’t from a respectable family—”
"Hmph, I can't even be bothered to mention those rumors."
After she finished speaking, she pouted unsatisfiedly.
"In short, I don't understand why you chose her as your fiancée. In terms of both character and family background, she is far inferior to the wife you should have married."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Li'an's face turned completely cold.
Without hesitation, he turned to Fang Wanyu and sternly said, "Please stop belittling my fiancée, Comrade Fang! If you have nothing else to do, please leave immediately."
Although Liu Piaopiao couldn't figure out why Fang Wanyu suddenly spoke up for her.
For a moment, I felt confused and suspicious.
After all, based on her previous impressions, Fang Wanyu had always been lukewarm towards her.
But today, contrary to his usual behavior, he spoke up to defend her in front of everyone, which is quite puzzling.
But no matter what, the other party's move is ultimately in their own interest.
At least those present will more or less reassess their stance on her.
What she never expected was that Fu Lian actually got engaged to that woman, Qiao Manqing!
Her mind was instantly in turmoil.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Qiao Manqing completely lost power after returning from Hong Kong.
He was despised and infamous by everyone because he did something shameful.
At that time, she could not bear the social pressure at all, and in shame and despair, she chose to commit suicide.
But what's going on now?
How come she's alive and well, even more resilient than in her previous life?
Not only did she escape the punishment she deserved, but she also became engaged to Fu Lian?
It seems that the world after my rebirth has indeed changed.
If Qiao Manqing, that scheming and ambitious woman, successfully snatches Fu Li'an away from her...
So what exactly is the purpose of her rebirth this time?
Looking at the man who had appeared countless times in her dreams, the man she called her husband, Fu Li'an, now standing up to explain and defend another woman, she felt a surge of resentment.
How could he side with other women?
Although she later betrayed his feelings, did many wrong things, and let down his deep affection.
But in this life, she is truly determined to make up for all the debts she owed in the past.
She will cherish this relationship for the rest of her life!
“Fu Zhiqing”.
Liu Piaopiao tried her best to suppress the complex emotions in her heart and said, "Perhaps you have only been at the farm for a short time and may not have a comprehensive understanding of the people and things here. I would like to remind you of something, and I hope you can listen to it."
She paused, then continued, "Someone like Comrade Qiao Manqing... well, there are actually some rumors about her conduct, for example—"
Liu Piaopiao bit her lip, a hint of hesitation appearing on her face.
"It is said that they even eloped back in their hometown."
She glanced at the other person with a hint of sympathy.
“A good young man like you, with upright character and a promising future, must keep his eyes open and never be deceived by her appearance.”
In fact, no one can deny that Qiao Manqing has a beautiful face.
This is undoubtedly one of Qiao Manqing's most powerful advantages.
That's why, when she thought about how such a beautiful woman might be her future competitor, Liu Piaopiao couldn't help but feel a little more uneasy.
In this era, how many men can truly maintain their moral integrity?
Even someone as upright and sensible as Fu Li'an.
His essence still cannot escape the most authentic impulses.
Perhaps it's because Qiao Manqing is so beautiful?
That's what made him make that decision.
"Comrade Liu, Comrade Fang, thank you very much for your concern."
