Just as Wen Qihang was about to talk to Qu's parents about the scar removal cream, he saw a figure bumping into him out of the corner of his eye. He instinctively took a step back to dodge, and then heard a thud. Looking down, he saw that it was Qu Wenfang who had fallen in front of him, and she was still holding his trouser leg in her hand.
Acting faster than thinking, he quickly kicked out and took a few steps back, freeing his trouser leg from the other person's grasp.
He even pulled up his pants. Luckily, his belt was fastened tightly, otherwise his pants would probably have been pulled down, and he would have been too embarrassed to show his face. His marriage to Wenjing would probably have fallen through even if her scars healed.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder; my eyes are filled with disgust as I look at Qu Wenfang.
Qu Wenfang, who had fallen to the ground, was bewildered and felt wronged. She hadn't done it on purpose; it was all her mother's fault. She didn't know what had gotten into her mother, who suddenly pushed her, making her, a grown woman, lose face in front of so many people.
Her face flushed red instantly, and she bit her lip as she hurriedly got up from the ground. Just as she was about to question her mother, she heard her mother start howling.
"Oh dear, everyone saw it just now. My Wenfang accidentally fell and touched Comrade Wen. Her pants were almost torn off. You little brat, you've ruined my daughter's reputation. You have to take responsibility for my Wenfang."
Wen Qihang was dumbfounded. How could someone be extorted like this?
The onlookers at the door were all gaping in disbelief. "Is this even allowed? They're shameless!"
Everyone showed disdain, and their eyes were filled with pity as they looked at Wen Qihang. He was sure he was going to be entangled with this family now.
Mr. and Mrs. Qu, along with Qu Wenhao, were furious. They had long known that Aunt Qu was shameless, but they never expected her to reach such a new low. Mrs. Qu stood up, pointed at Aunt Qu, and began to hurl insults.
"Lin Zhaodi, have you no shame? Letting your daughter seduce your own cousin's husband in public is utterly shameless."
"What are you saying, sister-in-law? Who's shameless? Who seduced whom? It's just that Wenfang and Comrade Wen accidentally touched each other. That's fate. Otherwise, why did my Wenfang fall down and not touch anyone else but Comrade Wen?"
Also, didn't you just say that Wenjing has already broken off her engagement with Comrade Wen? Then he's no longer her cousin-in-law. I think that's perfect. The wedding date doesn't need to be changed; Wenfang and Comrade Wen can just get married directly.”
Everyone was speechless at this bizarre turn of events. Even the women and children who were throwing a tantrum on the ground forgot to cry and stared blankly at Aunt Qu.
Qu Wenfang had initially complained about her mother's erratic behavior, but now that she understood her mother's intentions, she stopped complaining and just looked at Wen Qihang with a shy and timid expression.
Back when the matchmaker introduced this Comrade Wen to her cousin, she secretly went on a blind date with him, but he was blind and didn't like her.
Wen Qihang felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Qu Wenfang's affected manner. What kind of weirdos were these people? He unconsciously took a few steps back and retreated to the door.
"I'm telling you, don't try to extort money from me. What happened just now? So many people saw it, and I didn't even touch a single piece of Comrade Qu's clothes."
“You didn’t run into Wenfang, did you? She pulled down your pants. Now that your pants are pulled down, you’re trying to deny it? I’m telling you, no way. You’ve ruined my daughter’s reputation as a pure and innocent young woman. You have to take responsibility.”
"Pah! You shameless bastard! Your daughter's reputation wasn't ruined by Qihang, it was ruined by your shameless mother!" Mother Qu shouted.
The onlookers nodded in agreement; it was indeed true, Qu Wenfang's reputation had been ruined by her mother.
"You're talking nonsense. How is it ruining Wenfang's reputation if I just ask Comrade Wen to take responsibility for my daughter? It would be Wenfang's reputation if I didn't say anything."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Wen Qihang, saying, "I think there's no better time than now, Comrade Wen, why don't you take Wenfang to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now and get your marriage certificate?"
Wen Qihang was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. A kind-hearted person watching the commotion at the door reminded him, "Comrade Wen, run! It would be terrible if you got caught."
As they spoke, everyone quickly made way for him, pulling him out of the gate and then blocking the Qu family's gate to prevent Aunt Qu from chasing after him. She was so anxious that she shouted and yelled through the crowd.
Ever since Comrade Wen started dating Qu Wenjing, he has been very polite to the neighbors whenever he comes over. He often carries some snacks in his pocket and gives them to their children. Sometimes it's candy, sometimes peanuts or melon seeds, and sometimes it's dates or pine nuts.
Such a fine young man shouldn't be wasted by the second branch of the Qu family.
They pulled him out and kept waving at him, reminding him to leave quickly.
Wen Qihang rode his bicycle home in a daze.
Only Wen Shengtao and Mo Yitao were at home. The two of them took their two children, while Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue took their third child to the department store to buy furniture.
Mo Yitao asked him, "Did you give him the medicine? What's the Qu family's attitude now? They're not thinking about breaking off the engagement anymore, are they?"
Wen Qihang shook his head. "Mom, the medicine hasn't been given yet."
"What's going on? You went all the way there without giving us the medicine, what are you trying to do? Do you really want to call off the engagement?"
"No, Mom. The Qu family's second uncle and aunt are causing trouble over there. It's a mess over there now."
"Oh, you unlucky kid!"
Mo Yitao slapped his arm hard. "Since someone was causing trouble at the Qu family's house, why did you come back? Didn't you even offer to help Wenjing and the others?"
Wen Qihang rubbed his arms, feeling aggrieved. "Mom, if I hadn't run back, my life would be over!"
