Chapter 62 Unreasonable
Her intuition told her that there might be more to this than met the eye.
The person she suspected most was He Dayong, who had always been somewhat restless.
So she had already planned it out in her mind; today was a good opportunity to test his intentions!
When Qiao Wanyin deliberately uttered those words, she hit the nail on the head.
He Dayong blushed immediately and excitedly grabbed the conversation.
"Wanyin, you know I've always loved you, and that feeling has never changed! Even after all these years since you left, I haven't forgotten you for a single day."
"Do you remember how heartbroken I was when you secretly ran off to Hong Kong? For two whole weeks, I couldn't eat or sleep properly, and every day I kept thinking about how you just left without a word..."
Qiao Wanyin listened and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
But his expression remained unchanged, still showing no signs of disturbance.
"If that's the case, then you must really hate Fu Lian, right?"
Upon hearing this, He Dayong immediately perked up, his eyes brightening.
“Who is Fu Li’an? He’s just a scholar from the provincial capital! I heard he even served in the army, but I have a feeling something’s wrong with him. Don’t you think so? If he didn’t have any problems, why was he demoted? Who knows what he did wrong!”
He spoke with great enthusiasm, his voice rising higher and higher.
"Wanyin, as long as you're willing to dump Fu Li'an and marry me, I'll love and take care of you for the rest of my life, and I'll never say a harsh word to you. What do you say?"
As he spoke, he gradually approached.
Qiao Wanyin did not respond, but quietly took a few steps back.
The smile still lingered on his lips, but it grew colder and colder.
"It's because you hate Fu Lian so much that you teamed up with your cousin Fang Wanyu to push him into the river, right?"
Upon hearing this, He Dayong froze, as if struck by lightning, his expression instantly changing.
"W-What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
His tone was filled with panic and disbelief.
A question flashed through his mind.
No one else knew about the incident where Fu Lian was pushed into the water except for myself and Fang Wanyu.
Even people nearby couldn't see it clearly at the time, so how did she guess it?
impossible!
How is that possible!
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Wanyin became even more certain of her judgment.
She no longer concealed her emotions, but instead raised her voice, questioning him word by word.
"Don't you understand? If you really didn't do this, why would I say this? I can tell you clearly that as long as I investigate this matter seriously, the truth will come to light in no time!"
Her gaze was icy as she continued in a threatening tone, "Fu Li'an is an active-duty soldier. Don't you realize the enormity of your actions? You think this is just a joke? You're wrong. If this is investigated, you'll go to jail. You may not care about yourself, but have you considered how badly you and Fang Wanyu will end up?"
She deliberately said those words to scare He Dayong.
Because Qiao Wanyin knew very well.
This man is not as easy to get along with as he appears.
If we don't give him a good warning, he'll probably cause even more trouble in the future.
"Evening Sound!"
He Dayong's expression suddenly became agitated, and his tone became more hurried.
"I'm doing this all for your own good!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Qiao Wanyin's wrist.
However, Qiao Wanyin immediately took a few steps back, avoiding his hand, and said with a cold smile, "Don't flatter yourself."
Her eyes were devoid of warmth, and her words were utterly merciless.
"The shady things you did have nothing to do with me."
But He Dayong still refused to give up and took another step forward, raising his voice slightly.
"Wanyin, didn't you say you could marry me before? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"
His tone carried a hint of grievance, as if he had truly been betrayed.
"What makes me inferior to that pretty boy Fu Li'an?"
"Just because I've hooked up with someone powerful and influential, you're starting to dislike me now, aren't you?"
Just as Qiao Wanyin was about to open her mouth to refute,
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of someone hurrying towards him from a short distance away—
She recognized the person at a glance—it was Fang Wanyu.
Upon closer inspection, it was located a little further behind her.
Standing there was a young man dressed in clean old clothes, his face full of anger, his expression unusually solemn.
That was none other than Fu Li'an!
Oh no, could I have just stumbled upon this scene?
Qiao Wanyin's heart tightened immediately, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Fu Zhiqing, now you've finally seen it with your own eyes, haven't you?"
He Dayong seized the opportunity to shout loudly.
"Qiao Wanyin is a fickle and unpredictable woman..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Li'an snorted coldly, interrupting him.
"Shut up!"
Fu Li'an spoke coldly.
"You're not allowed to talk about this kind of thing here."
Regardless of what kind of relationship Qiao Wanyin and He Dayong had in the past, Qiao Wanyin's status is completely different today.
Since she's his girlfriend, he absolutely won't allow anyone else to talk nonsense, belittle, or insult her.
"Fu Li'an!"
Fang Wanyu, who was standing to the side, did not expect the situation to develop to this extent and shouted anxiously.
Why have you suddenly become so unreasonable?
She frowned and questioned, "Why don't you defend yourself and instead side with her?"
Fu Li'an frowned slightly, looking at Fang Wanyu with a cold gaze.
He asked a question in a slightly serious tone.
"Comrade Fang, what do you mean by that?"
Then he paused, and continued.
"When have you ever seen me before? What makes you say that?"
Faced with the sudden question, Fang Wanyu was speechless for a moment, stunned and unable to say a word.
A few seconds later, she hurriedly shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, no, I really didn't have a chance to see you..."
She spoke faster and faster, even becoming somewhat incoherent.
"How could I possibly know you? I'm not someone you know. How could I dare?"
“I think… as a soldier with such a clear mind, how could you not see through the things between Qiao Wanyin and this He Dayong?”
She desperately wanted to tell him directly.
"In my past life, I was his true wife! I was the only woman who stood by him through the most difficult times."
However, she gritted her teeth and could only bury those words in her heart.
Because she didn't dare to say it.
Once the words are spoken, it will not only fail to win back Fu Li'an's heart.
Instead, they might be treated as crazy and even sent to a mental hospital.
She was well aware that, for a calm and rational soldier...
Who would believe in such unscientific claims as past lives, reincarnation, or time travel?
Therefore, even though they were filled with pain and grievances, they could only suppress them in their hearts and dared not utter a single word.
"You don't need to worry about what's between me and my lover."
