Chapter 78 Speaking the Truth
"Wanyin is right."
Hearing this, Su Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a hint of reproach, "Look at you, all you do is sulk all day. Our son is clearly innocent, he hasn't done anything heinous."
Lin Yuanfeng still frowned, looking at his son and Qiao Wanyin with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Qiao, are you telling the truth? Tell me honestly, was Li An really framed?"
Qiao Wanyin quickly stepped forward and said in a very serious tone, "Uncle Lin, you must know something about the situation. At that time, it was a crucial period for Li An to compete for the position, and many people were eyeing it."
"At that time, he did have several competitors in the group. One of them really wanted to become the group leader and was worried that he was not as good as Li An, so he had some crooked ideas and used some underhanded means."
"It was at the celebration banquet that day that the mastermind arranged for a group of people to take turns getting Li An drunk. When he completely lost consciousness and was in a daze, they had someone secretly carry Li An into a female comrade's room, and then immediately notified the leaders to come and 'catch him in the act'."
"But in reality, Li An didn't do anything at all; he was just so drunk he was unconscious. Unfortunately, the news spread too quickly and too widely, and since he himself couldn't explain what had happened, he was severely punished in the end, which also affected his future and reputation."
Lin Yuanfeng's face darkened upon hearing this. He paused for a moment before looking at Qiao Wanyin with a puzzled expression and asking, "Xiao Qiao, how do you know all these details so clearly? And where did you learn about these things?"
Since even the son himself can't explain it clearly.
So why did Qiao Wanyin know so much about that matter?
It felt as if she wasn't listening to someone else recount the events, but rather experiencing them firsthand.
Such doubts inevitably raise questions.
Qiao Wanyin froze on the spot for a moment.
She hadn't expected her words to cause such speculation.
etc!
Let me think about how to answer!
My mind raced, but I couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse for the time being.
"That... I remembered some details that I had missed, and I mentioned them to Wan Yin later."
Just as Qiao Wanyin was still thinking about how to cover it up, Lin Li'an had already said those words for her.
His tone was natural, and his expression was calm.
Qiao Wanyin opened her eyes wide and looked at him.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "What's going on?!"
I was just thinking of making up some excuse to get by.
He lied before I did?
That's such a perfect match!
It was as if they had rehearsed it beforehand!
She had been worried that if she made up an excuse on the spot, it might be exposed.
But looking at the current situation, it's clear that she doesn't need to worry about it at all.
"So, when looking for a partner, it's definitely better to find someone who's quick-witted."
Those who only make things worse at crucial moments are truly useless.
Asking a question so casually can leave you bewildered, only making things more complicated.
The person in front of you won't give you any trouble at all!
They're practically walking emergency rescue machines!
"Ah Dong, do you want your uncle to step in and help handle this?"
Su Yufeng finally snapped out of her shock.
How could she have known that her son had retired because of this?
If she had known earlier, she would have gone to her parents' home to ask for help long ago.
"Mom, no need."
Lin Li'an rejected the proposal almost without hesitation.
"I can handle this by myself."
He has always been reluctant to involve his family.
This is one of the reasons why he has been hesitant to reveal the truth.
But now.
He was more concerned about another issue than the injustice of being misunderstood.
So how exactly did Qiao Wanyin know about this?
And that crystal-clear explanation...
Was she really there?
At first, he thought that she only knew about his military status because she had heard it mentioned in casual conversation.
But now he understands that things are not so simple.
So right now, he has to get to the bottom of things and figure out what really happened.
"Mom, why don't you go back and rest with Dad? Wanyin and I have something to discuss."
Su Yufeng had just returned from Fang Wanyu's house.
He originally planned to teach Qiao Wanyin a lesson and, incidentally, make his son cancel the engagement.
However, to everyone's surprise, the conversation brought up the fact that her son had been discharged from the military.
Under these circumstances, she lost the will to argue with Qiao Wanyin and could only quietly help Lin Yuanfeng back to the room.
"Come on, tell me properly what happened."
Lin Li'an gazed steadily at the girl in front of him.
Qiao Wanyin frowned upon hearing this, then feigned a blank expression.
"What? What happened?"
Before she could finish speaking, she pretended to turn around and walk away.
But she hadn't taken two steps when a strong hand grabbed her arm firmly.
"When I was framed that time, don't you think you should explain something to me?"
"explain?"
She smiled and asked in return.
"What can I explain? Didn't you tell me all those details yourself?"
Lin Li'an was speechless for a moment, "..."
He chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Trying to get away with nonsense again, huh?"
"Don't try to get away with this. I just want the truth: how did you know these details?"
Seeing that Lin Li'an was truly angry, his expression also became serious.
Qiao Wanyin knew she couldn't keep up the pretense any longer, so she could only sigh softly and say, "You've been in this village for a while now, haven't you? Have you ever heard the saying that I've been a lucky star since I was a child, and that my destiny is particularly good for others?"
Lin Li'an frowned slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, and she said nothing.
"I'm not making this up. I've been blessed since birth! Not only am I lucky, but I can also read faces and tell fortunes. I know a lot. You don't believe me? Then tell me how I have these abilities!"
Qiao Wanyin said in a very serious tone.
"Oh? How dare you say you know everything?"
Lin Li'an raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of disapproval on his lips.
"You're really good at talking nonsense. Why don't you try to give me an example so I can believe you really have this ability?"
Qiao Wanyin paused for a moment, not responding.
But I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
Why is this guy so hard to talk to?
What kind of logic is he using to ask this question?
What reason could there be to prove it? Could he possibly perform a divination on the spot?
Besides, anyone can reason, but shouldn't we just use PUA tactics directly?
He cleared his throat and suddenly changed to a more aggressive tone.
"Lin Li'an! Are you questioning me?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Lin Li'an responded, somewhat confused.
