She regretted even more that she had stayed with this despicable person who had always betrayed her.
She instinctively wanted to deny it, but then she realized that she couldn't deny it at all, since this bitch wasn't the only one beside her when she said those words.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Zhong Zhiping, you can't just say you and Lu Jiefang don't know each other. The day after he broke off our engagement, he skipped work and drove you to the county town in a tractor. He even stayed there to keep watch for you all night. Who would believe you two didn't know each other before?"
Everyone turned their attention to Zhong Zhiping.
Indeed, if you don't know someone, it's understandable to drive a tractor to take them in an emergency, but to help them stay overnight is a bit unreasonable.
"You're talking nonsense. Comrade Lu Jiefang returned to the commune that day. Stop spouting nonsense."
"Hmph, I've already inquired. Lu Jiefang didn't return to the Changhe Brigade at all that night."
Zhong Zhiping said, "Even if they didn't go back to the Changhe Brigade, they might have gone somewhere else."

Zhong Zhiping smiled and looked at Zhong Yanling with great pride.
"Did you hear that? What else do you have to say?"
Zhong Yanling cursed Jiang Haishan a thousand times in her heart, it was him who ruined things again, but on the surface she glared at Zhong Zhiping with resentment.
"Even if Lu Jiefang didn't stay in the county town that day, it doesn't mean you didn't know each other before. You're still my aunt, after all. I was engaged to him before, and he's met all our relatives. Can you say you haven't met them?"
"You two must have hooked up around that time."
