Chapter 34 Protecting Xiao Xu's Reputation to the Greatest Extent



The only possibility is that her bastard son had evil intentions!

Thinking of the brown sugar water she had drunk before, Aunt Wang's legs went weak, and she had to be helped up by the person next to her to stand up.

Aunt Wang's mind went blank, and for a moment she even had the urge to jump into the river.

How could she face Chen Ji, and how could she face Xiao Xu? This foolish, good-for-nothing son of hers—it was all her fault for failing to raise him properly!

Aunt Wang was utterly despondent and shoved Xiao Bao into the hands of the woman beside her.

He took two steps forward, about to fight Wang Jian, but Chen Lei quickly blocked him, saying, "Aunt Wang, what's the point of hitting him now that things have already happened!"

He wasn't being kind; he just wanted to escalate the situation. "Wang Jian, get up with her and explain things properly! Don't upset your mother!"

Wang Jian, for some unknown reason, refused to let go.

Chen Lei's angry shouts, Wang Jian's rebuttals, and Aunt Wang's wailing and crying were mixed together, and everyone was making a ruckus, making the room extremely noisy for a while.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a slightly authoritative voice came from outside the door: "What are you all doing?!"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Yao Guoqiang, the Party Secretary, so they voluntarily made way for him.

With village officials and leaders involved, this is going to be interesting!

Yao Guoqiang was called over by the villagers, who said there was a dispute on the Wang family's side and he needed to go and handle it.

He was woken up late at night after he had already gone to sleep. He was furious inside, and his face was even more sullen.

Seeing the situation inside the room, Yao Guoqiang roughly knew what had happened.

"Disperse, everyone!" Yao Guoqiang waved his hand, fully enjoying his leadership privileges. "As the village leader, I have the right to handle this matter. You don't need to watch anymore!"

Chen Lei was the first to object, "Secretary! Things have already escalated to this point, why don't we have Wang Jian and this woman step forward and give everyone an explanation!"

"When did we, the Wang family, need to explain our affairs to everyone?!" Aunt Wang shouted, though she was short of breath and her chest felt tight.

She now needs to figure out a way to at least keep the villagers from knowing who the woman in the bed is.

This is the only way to protect Xiao Xu's reputation to the greatest extent possible. Even if the mother and son die together afterward, they will have to give Xiao Chen and Xiao Xu an explanation!

Xiao Xu is innocent!

Chen Lei glanced at Aunt Wang indifferently and retorted, "Auntie, that's not how it works. Wang Jian is a villager in our Dahe Village. Right now, his conduct is a serious matter. This isn't just a Wang family matter. If word gets out, people will say that our Dahe Village has a corrupt atmosphere!"

He spoke with such righteous indignation that the villagers' emotions were stirred up, and some echoed, "Yes! Let this woman come out!"

While everyone was talking, the woman in the blanket remained lying facing the wall, her whole body tucked into the blanket.

Aunt Wang tried to stop him, but Chen Lei pushed her away.

Before anyone could react, Chen Lei had already forcefully pulled back the blanket and thrown it on the ground.

"ah!"

"Oh my god!"

No one expected Chen Lei to do this. Aunt Wang reacted, stumbled forward, picked up the clothes from the ground, and draped them over the naked woman on the bed.

"Chen Lei, you've gone too far!"

Some women couldn't bear to watch, so they went forward, picked up the blanket from the ground, and covered the woman with it.

But it was too late. Everyone had seen the woman's profile, and they had seen everything they should and shouldn't have seen.

When a couple came to watch the spectacle, the woman's first thought was to cover her husband's eyes!

Aunt Wang also noticed something was wrong at this moment. Xiao Xu was wearing a shirt and jeans today, but what she was picking up was a skirt!

A sharp-eyed woman recognized the dress and exclaimed in surprise, "This...isn't this Yao Yulan's dress?"

When Yao Guoqiang saw the woman's profile on the bed, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his heart sank to the bottom.

As it was getting dark, Yao Yulan was about to go out, and Yao Guoqiang said a few words to her. His daughter had been spoiled since childhood, so she wouldn't listen to him. In a fit of anger, she stomped her feet and ran away.

Yao Guoqiang thought she would just walk around outside the door and come back, but who knew she would actually run into the man's bed!

It's still Wang Jian, that old bachelor who has nothing!

Yao Guoqiang's vision blurred and he almost couldn't stand up!

He doted on his youngest daughter the most at home. He could recognize any child he had watched grow up, even just from a side profile! He was absolutely certain that it was Yao Yulan!

The crowd erupted in uproar and murmurs.

"Yao Yulan and Wang Jian? How is that possible? Doesn't Yao Yulan like Chen Ji?"

"Chen Ji already has a wife! Wanting to date someone else's man is called being a mistress!"

"That's not right. I saw Aunt Wang holding Chen Ji's daughter. Did Chen Ji's family have some guests today? Did Chen Ji's wife come to the Wang family's house to sleep?"

"What does this have to do with Yao Yulan? It's not Chen Ji's wife in bed."

"Oh dear, could it be that Yao Yulan tried to use a dirty trick but ended up getting herself into trouble?"

Women with vivid imaginations and a penchant for gossip can quickly and accurately analyze the current situation.

"That's not right. With such a commotion, why didn't the Chen couple come out? They didn't even come out when the fire started?"

Chen Lei was also stunned. He exchanged a glance with Wang Jian and instantly understood what had happened!

But no matter how I think about it, I can't understand why they would arrest the wrong person! How did Yao Yulan end up in Aunt Wang's room?

No wonder it was so heavy, it turns out it's that fat woman Yao Yulan!

Who was the woman he just saw at the Chen family's house? Was it Xu Ruantang?

So Xu Ruantang knew what they had done, but how did she know? They also decided to act on a whim today.

Knowing there was a risk of exposure, Chen Lei broke out in a cold sweat, clenching his fists as he tried to appear calm.

"Get out!" Yao Guoqiang's voice was deep and menacing, as if he were about to devour someone! Everyone shrank back in fear, and the room fell silent instantly.

Aunt Wang felt inexplicably relieved after discovering that the person in the bed wasn't Xiao Xu.

Now that I see it's Yao Yulan, I'm starting to get a headache again.

Wang Jian and Yao Yulan getting together is going to be the death of her! If Yao Yulan becomes her daughter-in-law, how will she live?

No one spoke, but no one left either.

The scene became tense for a moment. Someone pushed through the crowd and came in. Xu Ruantang looked confused. "Auntie, is there a fire? Why isn't Xiaobao next door?"

She walked in and saw the scene in the room; her mouth dropped open so wide it could fit an egg.

The woman holding the baby quickly said, "The child is here."

Xu Ruantang took Xiaobao from her and asked, puzzled, "What's this for?"

"Chen Ji's wife, with such a commotion, why didn't you two come out?" Chen Lei asked Xu Ruantang with a sinister gaze.

Everyone was curious and couldn't help but look at Xu Ruantang.

Xu Ruantang looked innocent, opened her mouth but before she could speak, the woman who had been silent on the bed suddenly rushed down and pounced on her like a madwoman!
