Wei Yuan forced a smile to deal with it, but Li Yutong ignored them.
Jiang Ling's mother thought that they were just city people who were too arrogant, so she didn't take it too seriously and even enthusiastically served them food at the table.
It was Li Yutong's first time meeting Jiang Ling, the woman her son had praised so highly. She stared at Jiang Ling and carefully examined her. She had to admit that judging by her appearance and conversation, she was indeed a well-behaved and sensible girl.
No one seemed to care about Li Yutong's expression, as they all continued to eat and chat. Wei Jie even toasted and poured wine for Jiang Ling's father, being more humble and respectful than he would be with his own father.
Looking at the happy atmosphere, to be honest, Li Yutong didn't want to ruin it, but she really couldn't help it. If she didn't ask clearly about this kind of thing, it would be even more difficult to say when the time comes.
"Jiang Ling, do you know Wang Changxing?"
As soon as Li Yutong said this, the Jiang family members were stunned and stopped laughing. The atmosphere became extremely tense.
Jiang Ling was so scared that her chopsticks dropped to the ground. She had just been chatting and laughing with Wei Jie while eating, but now her face turned pale in an instant and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
She lowered her head, feeling nothing but fear, helplessness and self-blame, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wei Jie, the only one who didn't know what was going on, noticed something was amiss and asked nonchalantly, "Wang Changxing, who is Wang Changxing? Mom, why are you asking Lingling this question?"
From the expressions of the Jiang family, Li Yutong saw through everything and knew that what the village women said before was not just hearsay, but real.
"Who is Wang Changxing? Haha... I'll have to ask our well-behaved and sensible Jiang Ling, don't you think? My future daughter-in-law."
Li Yutong stood up from the stool and replied in a sarcastic tone.
Wei Jie turned his gaze to Jiang Ling, trying to get answers from her to resolve his doubts.
Jiang Ling was trembling with fear. She was a delicate woman, so how could she withstand such a scene? She lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and dared not say a word.
The room was eerily quiet, and the Jiang family didn't know how to explain to Wei Yuan and Li Yutong.
Seeing that Jiang Ling had no intention of explaining, Wei Jie couldn't help but shake Jiang Ling's arm. "Lingling, who on earth is this person? Why do you all seem so depressed?"
Jiang Ling didn't dare to look up at Wei Jie, and she hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling's mother quickly stood up to explain, "This...this...this is for me to say! This Wang Changxing is a beast. His family has always wanted to marry Lingling, but we never agreed, so they used some despicable means to tarnish Lingling's reputation. But I can guarantee with my life that our Lingling is innocent and has absolutely not done anything to bring disgrace to our family."
"Despicable means? What despicable means? Auntie, could you please explain it in more detail?"
Wei Jie didn't seem to understand what Jiang Ling's mother said and continued to ask.
When Jiang Ling heard that Wei Jie wanted to ask for more details, she couldn't help it. She covered her mouth and ran out crying.
Seeing this, Wei Jie hurriedly chased after her, "Lingling, Lingling..."
Jiang Ling's mother wanted to explain to Li Yutong and Wei Yuan again, but Li Yutong didn't give her a chance.
Li Yutong stood up and said coldly: "Sister, it seems that our Wei Jie is not blessed to be your son-in-law. Goodbye! Old Wei, let's go."
After Li Yutong finished speaking, she turned around and left angrily. Wei Yuan politely nodded and said goodbye to the Jiang family, then followed Li Yutong out of the Jiang family yard.
Along the way, Li Yutong kept complaining, "What bad luck! How could our Wei Jie be associated with such a family? Luckily, we found out early. Otherwise, we would have been laughed to death by our relatives and friends if it hadn't been confirmed."
"Okay, don't be angry. It's nothing serious, right? It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. Let's go back to the county now. Do you want to ask Ajie to come with us?"
This educated man, when he gets angry, is no different from these country girls, he just throws tantrums and swears.
Wei Yuan followed behind Li Yutong, trying his best to comfort her and tell her not to get sick from anger.
"Why are you yelling? He caused the trouble himself, let him solve it himself. I can't stay here any longer. Didn't you see the strange looks from the villagers when we just left Jiang's house? I feel like I've been mentally humiliated by them."
Li Yutong patted the dirt off his trouser legs in disgust and walked towards the village entrance while talking.
Jiang Ling cried and told Wei Jie what happened that day. She didn't know that nothing happened that day, but she knew that she was sorry to Wei Jie.
After the incident, Jiang Ling had been deliberately avoiding Wei Jie. If it weren't for her mother's repeated persuasion and Wei Jie's repeated urging, she would not have had the courage to bring Wei Jie to meet her parents.
"Ajie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not a virgin anymore. I'm not worthy of marrying you. I was selfish and kept it a secret from you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Ling was crying bitterly and kept apologizing to Wei Jie.
Wei Jie was clearly caught off guard by this sudden shock. Although he didn't believe in feudal ideas, he wasn't so avant-garde as to accept an impure Jiang Ling.
Seeing Jiang Ling crying so sadly, he stretched out his trembling hands, wanting to comfort her, but just as his arms were raised halfway, they dropped again. He still had a knot in his heart and could not fully accept all this.
"Lingling, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself. I think we should both be quiet for a while. We shouldn't meet for a while."
