Chapter 54 I Will Marry No One Else
Caught off guard, Qiao Wanyin lost her grip on the wooden spoon.
It made a crisp yet piercing sound when tapped on the side of the pot.
Clang—Clang.
Her movements completely stopped.
She froze for a few seconds as if stunned, then slowly turned around to look at the man behind her.
Just then, I met a pair of focused, meaningful eyes.
"That was... a last resort in a desperate situation!"
Her cheeks began to flush, and she started to stammer.
"Besides, I'm your girlfriend. If I really pretend I didn't see anything... it won't be easy to explain to Fang Wanyu."
"Then why are you explaining this to me?"
Qiao Wanyin was speechless. She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.
My mind was a jumbled mess, like a knot.
That's true.
Why should I explain?
The more they try to explain, the more unclear and confusing it becomes, giving the impression that the more they try to explain, the worse it gets.
She lowered her head and remained silent for a long while, her heart filled with an internal struggle.
In the end, all I could do was mutter to myself, "Oh my god..."
How could you be so stupid? Honestly...
Why can't my brain work?
That's so stupid!
She quickly changed the subject, asking, "So how exactly did you fall into the river?"
This question really did divert Fu Lian'an's original thoughts.
"That day, everyone was working hard in the fields. Suddenly someone ran up to me and said, 'You're looking for me? I'm waiting by the river.'"
"As soon as I heard it was you calling me, I didn't care about anything else and rushed over immediately, but—I couldn't find you anywhere!"
"I looked around and saw no one. After waiting a while, I thought it must be a mistake. I was just about to go back to the field to continue working when suddenly someone shoved me hard from behind... and with a thud, I fell into the water!"
"What? Someone really pushed you down?"
Qiao Wanyin opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but ask another question.
Just as I expected, just as I expected!
Her guess was right!
It must be Fang Wanyu who's behind this!
That woman has always been scheming and extremely jealous.
She had long harbored resentment towards Fu Lian, who was often seen hanging around her.
"Did you see who it was? Was he exceptionally strong?"
Qiao Wanyin frowned and pressed for more questions.
After listening, Fu Li'an frowned and thought about it seriously for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Hmm... that person was indeed very strong, and the movement was both fierce and sudden. Judging from my feeling, the person who pushed me was definitely a man, probably about my height, or slightly shorter!"
"A man? And as tall as you?"
Qiao Wanyin was even more confused after hearing this, and her brows furrowed more and more.
"That's a bit strange..."
She murmured to herself, then fell into deep thought.
Familiar figures flashed through her mind, but she rejected them all.
Zhang Tiezhu?
It's unlikely.
Fan Ergouzi?
Even less likely.
These people are either honest and kind-hearted, or they have no conflict with me, so they wouldn't resort to such a desperate measure over something like this.
Just as she was lost in thought, completely clueless.
A figure suddenly appeared in my mind.
etc……
Could it be?
Could it be—that He Dayong did it?
She suddenly realized a possibility.
Yes, he was a sturdy man, about the same height as Fu Li'an.
Most importantly...
He was Fang Wanyu's distant cousin, and the two had a close relationship since childhood.
More importantly, Fang Wanyu had long realized that He Dayong had different feelings for her.
If that's really the case...
That explains everything!
Thinking of this, Qiao Wanyin felt a surge of anger.
It's probably that vixen stirring things up behind the scenes!
She pretended that I called for someone to come over, and then instructed He Dayong to push Fu Li'an into the water.
Then he would pretend to be a hero and jump in to save the day!
snort!
This scheme is truly insidious and pretentious!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on her hand.
Since that's the case, she must find evidence and find a way to collect irrefutable proof enough to expose Fang Wanyu's conspiracy in public!
Only in this way can he prove his innocence in front of everyone and give Fu Li'an justice.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
The low, urgent sobs echoed in the room.
"Piaopiao, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother!"
The mother's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"
Fang Wanyu's mother, Dai Yuelan, watched her daughter cry with tears streaming down her face, on the verge of collapse.
Her precious daughter has always been stubborn.
She almost never sheds a tear easily, let alone behaves so out of control like today.
This situation must be extraordinary.
They must have been bullied!
"Piaopiao, don't be afraid, Mom is here."
While gently patting her daughter's shoulder to comfort her, Dai Yuelan said through gritted teeth.
"Your father is the village chief. If anyone dares to bully my daughter, I'll make sure their family regrets it!"
"mother!"
Fang Wanyu suddenly started crying and shouting.
"I...I...I really miss him so much."
Dai Yuelan frowned and pressed for an answer.
"What happened? Tell your mother quickly, you're making me so worried! What's wrong?"
Fang Wanyu took a deep breath, her eyes filled with tears, and finally bit her lip as she said, "I've fallen for Fu Zhiqing!"
Because she knew that if she didn't take this step, things would get tough.
Perhaps we are really going to lose Fu Li'an completely.
"What? Fu, the educated youth?"
Dai Yuelan didn't react immediately, paused for a moment, and then repeated the name in confusion.
"You mean Fu Li'an? The educated youth who got engaged to Qiao?"
Fang Wanyu lowered her head and nodded gently, tears silently sliding down her cheeks.
"That's right, Mother, my heart has always belonged to him, and I will marry no one but him!"
However, she couldn't tell her mother that she didn't just fall in love with Fu Li'an on a whim, but had actually traveled back in time and been reborn.
In her past life, she and Fu Lian were truly in love and made a promise to each other.
But in the end, Qiao Wanrou interfered and ruined everything.
So this time, she didn't want to miss out again.
"You silly child!"
Dai Yuelan's eyes widened in shock.
She never expected her daughter to have such thoughts.
Fu Li'an is indeed a rare good young man. He is not only good-looking, but also has a good temperament and is steady in his dealings with others.
He was sincere and polite to people, and everyone in the village liked him.
But……
Hasn't he already gotten engaged to the Qiao family's daughter?
Although Dai Yuelan loved her daughter dearly, she also knew that the relationship between them was complicated.
All the girls in Fishtail Village were in love with him and secretly hoped to one day become his wife.
However, the woman from the Qiao family, who was most skilled at using tricks to seduce men, quietly took the lead.
They had Fu Li'an firmly in their grasp.
