Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Confusion
Last time, I harmed him so much and almost got him caught and sent to the Revolutionary Committee. He will definitely take revenge for this.
Li Congjun left, leaving the joy behind.
Erfeng stood in the yard, looking at her cousin who was praised as a perfect match made in heaven.
It was the first time she met her new cousin-in-law. She just felt that he was very tall and imposing. His eyes looked at her with indifference. Although he had a smile on his face, she felt scared for no reason and didn't dare to look at him for too long.
Erfeng took a few steps back and retreated away from the crowd. She suspected that her cousin had said something about her in front of her new brother-in-law, otherwise why would he look at her so coldly, not at all as gentle as he looked at Ye Tan.
This made her think of Li Congjun again.
Li Congjun still smiled at her, his smile was gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze, making people feel that the summer heat has dissipated.
I really don’t know what my cousin was thinking. She actually gave up such a gentle and good man like Li Congjun and found a man like this who looks like he is not easy to mess with.
Erfeng has seen many men beating women, even her father would beat her mother. To her, it is common for men to beat women, especially their wives.
So she didn't understand why Ye Tan wanted to find such a tall and strong man?
If I make him angry and punch him, my bones will probably be broken. Thinking of this, Erfeng smiled again.
In short, she was the one chosen by Ye Tan herself, so she deserves to be beaten half to death in the future. Let's see how she can still be so arrogant in front of her then.
She is not willing to give her any small gifts, is so stingy and calculative, and spends money lavishly. Even if she is pretty, she will definitely be disliked by men over time.
It would be best if she was sent back to her parents' home, then she would have a lot to laugh at.
Erfeng almost couldn't help laughing out loud when she imagined the scene, but when she saw Ye Tan's bright smile, she no longer felt depressed.
Listening to the noisy sounds outside, she hummed a song as she walked to the gate, put the candy in her mouth, leaned against the door, and watched the fun leisurely.
She casually glanced at the crowd, but caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.
Erfeng turned her head and stood up straight the next moment. Wasn't that Li Congjun?
Why is he here?
Are you still thinking about Ye Tan?
Erfeng pursed her lips, not very happy with her own guess.
Why do all men like to hang around Ye Tan? Why do they still come here even though their engagement has been broken off?
The same goes for Ye Tan. Even after breaking off the engagement, she still can't forget the other person.
Erfeng was angry. She felt like the candy she had just eaten was sticking to her throat, making her feel uncomfortable. She felt depressed when she thought that Li Congjun was still thinking about Ye Tan.
"Erfeng, why are you standing at the door? Come over and help."
When Erfeng heard the calls coming from the yard, her feet moved faster than her thoughts. She patted her skirt and walked out of the crowd as if she didn't hear anything.
She didn't want to work for Ye Tan in vain.
She walked a few steps and looked up. She saw that Li Congjun had stopped at the intersection at some point and was now looking back at Erfeng.
Erfeng's heart skipped a beat and she unconsciously adjusted her skirt.
The unique skirt really brought her good luck. She wore the right clothes today.
She walked forward as she wished, looked up at Li Congjun's handsome face, and Li Congjun was looking back at her with a smile on his lips.
Erfeng blushed, lowered her eyes, bit her lips with her teeth, and pinched her pigtails with her fingers, twisting them uncomfortably, her heart pounding.
He was looking at herself. Was he also attracted by her new clothes?
Erfeng sucked in her stomach, trying to make herself look slimmer, but she regretted eating that extra bite of meat.
How could Li Congjun, a man who had been with many women, not see what the woman in front of him was thinking? He sneered in his heart that a fat woman actually dared to come up to him and flirt with him.
Who gave her the confidence?
But this is also a breakthrough.
Li Congjun suppressed the disgust in his eyes and smiled more gently, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. "I remember you are Ye Tan's cousin, and your name is Erfeng, right?"
The voice was elegant and smiling. Erfeng's eyes lit up and she looked up at him, nodding hard: "Yes, my name is Erfeng!" He actually still remembered her name.
Li Congjun: "When I first met you, I thought your name was so nice, and I kept it in mind. Unfortunately, that kind of thing happened at that time, and I didn't have the chance to talk to you." Li Congjun sighed and looked sad and regretful.
Erfeng felt distressed and her face flushed with excitement. She whispered shyly, "My mother said that she dreamed of two phoenixes the day before I was born. She thought it was a good omen, so she named me Erfeng, hoping that I would be as lucky as the phoenixes."
Li Congjun praised: "It is indeed a very good name. In the past, the phoenix was a symbol of nobility and beauty, and seeing it brought good luck and prosperity."
Er Feng lowered her head a little and spoke in a small voice. She had always thought that she was just a little plump, but now she suddenly felt a little inferior. "But others say that I am fat and not as pretty as Ye Tan."
It would have been better if she had just broken her face last time. Then no one would think she was not as pretty as Ye Tan anymore. What a pity, such a pity.
When Li Congjun heard her mention Ye Tan's name, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he said gently, "You are indeed a little fatter than the average girl, but it's not ugly. Girls with more flesh look healthier. My mother always says that girls with good health are more suitable to be wives, because they can give birth and take care of the household."
So his mother was actually always dissatisfied with Ye Tan's thinness, thinking that it would be difficult for her to have children in the future. He tried hard to persuade his mother, but Ye Tan did not see all his efforts and even broke off the engagement with him because of these material things.
Ye Tan is ungrateful.
Erfeng glanced at Li Congjun shyly and timidly, "You, what are you talking about?" What's so good about giving birth? How could he say such things to her?
Li Congjun snapped out of his thoughts, as if suddenly realizing his words had been a bit reckless. He sheepishly apologized to Erfeng, "I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to tell you that a person's appearance isn't that important. A beautiful heart is more important than a charming exterior. After all, a beautiful exterior but an ugly heart is still annoying."
He took a step closer, and a pleasant smell hit Erfeng's nose. She felt dizzy, and Li Congjun's voice in her ears seemed to be floating from the horizon.
"On the contrary, it is the girl with a beautiful soul that makes people like her more the closer they get to her, and the more they get to know her, the more fascinated they become."
Li Congjun had coaxed so many girls before, so naturally he was good at sweet-talking people. He didn't need to use any tricks to deal with Erfeng, a girl who had never had contact with the opposite sex.
With these two approaches, Erfeng was so excited that she was completely captivated. She looked at Li Congjun as if he were a god.
"You, you think I'm good?"
Li Congjun nodded: "Of course, this is the first time I've met a girl with such a simple and beautiful heart like yours."
Erfeng couldn't help but laugh, her heart was filled with joy.
Li Congjun liked her like this, liked her inner beauty, but when she heard the lively and noisy crowd not far away, she couldn't help asking: "But you liked Ye Tan so much before, wasn't it because she was pretty?"
Li Congjun turned his gaze away from her trembling fat face and denied it with a nauseous look: "Of course not, Ye Tan is beautiful, but I felt that we had the same ideals and could talk about things together, so I wanted to grow old with her. Unfortunately, Ye Tan..."
Li Congjun pretended to be disappointed and sighed, "...Alas, I can't give her what she wants. I can only say that it's not meant to be. Fortunately, I have seen through her character now and have given up on her."
Although Li Congjun spoke half-heartedly and hesitantly, Erfeng felt that she understood what he meant and angrily spoke up for Li Congjun: "You are right. It is Ye Tan who has wronged you. She is blind to your good qualities and is being unreasonable and insisting on breaking off the engagement. If it were me, I would not do this. I would be willing to do nothing."
After Erfeng finished speaking his heartfelt words loudly, he noticed that Li Congjun opposite him was looking at him in surprise. Erfeng suddenly realized what he had said. His chubby face flushed instantly. He mumbled for a long time, "I, I was just making an analogy, nothing else..."
Erfeng murmured and lowered her head in disappointment.
What did she just say? He must think she is shameless. It is so embarrassing for a girl to say such words to a man.
Just when Erfeng was about to find a hole to crawl into, Li Congjun suddenly came over and touched her hair, "Erfeng, thank you."
Erfeng raised her head and found that the way Li Congjun looked at her had changed. It was no longer the gentle yet distant look he had before. It seemed to have a little more tenderness.
He, he is so handsome.
Little did she know that after Li Congjun touched Erfeng's hair, he rubbed his fingers on his clothes and almost turned away, but when he thought of his plan, he tried hard to hold back.
I just hope that I can repay him for his efforts today in the future, otherwise his sacrifice today would be too much of a waste.
Li Congjun tried hard to show deep affection in the smile on his face, which bewitched Erfeng at the moment. Coupled with the sweet words coming out of Li Congjun's mouth, she soon lost herself. She nodded to everything Li Congjun said and almost told him how much money her family had.
Unfortunately, Li Congjun was not satisfied, very dissatisfied. He had no interest in her family or her own affairs.
Li Congjun took a deep breath and suppressed his irritation. "I'm asking if you can bring Ye Tan out tonight. I have something to say to her."
The confused Er Feng sobered up a little when she heard Ye Tan's name, and curled her lips unhappily: "Didn't you just say you had given up on her? Why do you still want to see her?"
Li Congjun saw that she had listened carefully to what he said and stopped giving irrelevant answers. His expression improved a little. "I really don't like her anymore. I just want to clarify some things from the past with her. Can you help me ask her out? Just don't tell her it's me, okay?"
Li Congjun said softly, "Don't worry, I just want to make things clear to her so that I can start a new life. When the time comes, I'll find a kind girl who suits me and marry her, and live a good life."
As Li Congjun said this, he kept looking deeply at Erfeng, making Erfeng mistakenly believe that the kind girl he was talking about was herself, and she began to lose herself again.
"Can I, can I call you Brother Li?" She wanted to call out this name that she had called countless times in her heart.
Li Congjun nodded: "Of course, then I will also call you Sister Erfeng."
Erfeng nodded shyly, "Then I will think of a way to bring Ye Tan out tonight. You should quickly explain it to her and never see her again in the future." Unconsciously, Erfeng began to think of herself as someone with a special relationship with Li Congjun, and her tone began to carry a bit of possessiveness.
The disgust in Li Congjun's eyes almost overflowed. He raised his hand and patted Erfeng's shoulder as if to cover it up. "Of course, after we have made things clear this time, we will naturally not see each other again. Sister Erfeng, thank you for helping me. You are such a kind and good girl."
Erfeng returned to the Ye family with a confused heart.
Ye Tan and Gu Zhao were surrounded and praised by everyone, and the betrothal gifts were also brought in. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Jin Guihua hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, and she wanted her daughter to share in the good fortune today so that she could find a good partner quickly, preferably a generous and wealthy son-in-law like Gu Zhao. However, she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, and when she turned around, she suddenly saw her daughter walking in from the gate with a shy look of joy on her face.
She went over and pulled the person over, "Erfeng, where have you been? I can't find you for a long time."
Erfeng swung her pigtails, her eyes smiling and her face flushed. "I'm just taking a walk outside. There are too many people here and it's a bit noisy."
Jin Guihua didn't care what she was doing. She pushed the person in front of Gu Zhao and said with a smile: "Xiao Gu, this is Erfeng, your cousin."
