Seeing this, Huang Yingying quickly poured a glass of water for Lu Xingguang and hurriedly brought it over.
She didn’t even care whose cup it was.
Lu Xingguang struggled to sit up slightly, took the cup from Huang Yingying’s hand, and drank the entire glass of water in one go.
“You… it’s all your fault!!” After drinking the water, Lu Xingguang felt a little relief in her throat.
At this moment, Lu Xingguang was staring at Huang Yingying with an angry expression on her face.
Huang Yingying immediately forced a smile.
“It was Qian Jun who didn’t recognize the person properly in the evening, and that’s why he brought the wrong person over.”
“But, that seat was clearly Su Niannian’s. I don’t know how it happened, but it ended up being Zhao Sulan who slept there.”
“And how could you all be so careless? This matter was even noticed by someone from the village!”
Huang Yingying spoke rapidly, pouring out everything she wanted to say, as if she were spilling beans.
“…” Lu Xingguang was momentarily speechless, unable to respond to Huang Yingying’s words.
Seeing this, Huang Yingying hurriedly continued, “In a little while, the village chief and the village secretary will probably come over. You caused such a huge disturbance last night.”
At this point, Huang Yingying’s words had made Lu Xingguang’s brows furrow so deeply that it seemed like they could drip water.
“How dare you still talk? If it weren’t for your scheme, how would we have ended up in this situation? I’m afraid I’ll be arrested as a thug!”
“Don’t worry,” Lu Xingguang continued coldly, “If I’m convicted of being a thug, you won’t escape either. The scheme, the drugs, the aphrodisiac — all of it’s on you. Do you really think you can save yourself? Not a chance!”
Lu Xingguang glared at Huang Yingying, her anger so intense it seemed like she might collapse from it.
Although she hadn’t managed to win over Su Niannian yet, Lu Xingguang felt that it was only a matter of time.
After all, compared to the educated youth, which man could possibly compare to her?
Lu Xingguang was determined to pursue Su Niannian, and she knew that she was in full control of the situation. She shouldn’t have let Huang Yingying’s deceitful words lead her into this mess.
If she were to be convicted, then Huang Yingying would have to pay the price with her as well!
Lu Xingguang gritted her teeth. If it weren’t for her body aching all over right now, she would’ve definitely given Huang Yingying a good beating.
She had ended up like this, and it was all because of this woman!
Seeing Lu Xingguang’s expression, Huang Yingying quickly apologized.
“Right now, I still have one more solution, one that can prevent you from being convicted of being a thug.”
“You just need to marry Zhao Sulan and claim that you were in a normal relationship. Once you do that, everything will be resolved.”
Last night, Lu Xingguang had been so dizzy that she didn’t realize how many people had seen Zhao Sulan in her bare body.
Naturally, Huang Yingying didn’t say much about it.
What she wanted now was for Lu Xingguang to agree to marry Zhao Sulan.
As for Zhao Sulan, that part would be even easier to handle.
Huang Yingying had always had her eye on Lu Xingguang, and now that Lu Xingguang had slept with her, Zhao Sulan would likely be happy to marry him.
At least Zhao Sulan wouldn’t refuse to marry Lu Xingguang.
As long as Zhao Sulan didn’t accuse Lu Xingguang of forcing her or making any false claims about their relationship, this problem could be solved.
“Zhao Sulan…” Lu Xingguang naturally didn’t want to marry her.
But, just like Huang Yingying had said, if she were truly convicted of being a thug, then her entire future would be ruined.
Her father couldn’t even protect her.
Lu Xingguang knew she couldn’t let a single woman, a single incident, ruin her life.
After thinking it over, Lu Xingguang finally agreed.
“But Huang Yingying, no matter how you look at it, you are responsible for this mess. You owe me, and you’ll have to pay me back!”
Lu Xingguang had only tasted a woman’s touch yesterday, yet now, looking at Huang Yingying, he found himself stirred.
“I’ll compensate you, but what you’re thinking, that’s absolutely out of the question.”
“At worst, we’ll both go down together. Even if you drag me down, your life will be ruined too.”
“Think about the pros and cons. If you don’t expose me, I’ll give you a good reward later.” Huang Yingying promised.
Huang Yingying wanted to keep her body pure to marry Gu Nan. She didn’t want anything to happen between her and Lu Xingguang.
In her life, she wanted Gu Nan, and she knew Gu Nan would achieve great things and become very wealthy in the future.
It seemed that in the 1980s, Gu Nan had already bought a car.
Back then, seeing even one or two cars on the road was rare. The fact that Gu Nan could afford a car at that time was quite something.
As long as she could win over Gu Nan, Huang Yingying promised that she would live a life of luxury, wealth, and happiness. She had to have Gu Nan.
For now, Su Niannian was still untouched, and Huang Yingying needed to find a way to completely block the path from Gu Nan to Su Niannian.
While Huang Yingying’s thoughts wandered, Lu Xingguang spoke again, pulling her back from her reverie.
“You keep talking about the future, but at least give me some compensation now?” Lu Xingguang looked at Huang Yingying.
Huang Yingying picked up the bowl of rice porridge that had been placed aside. She used a spoon to feed Lu Xingguang the porridge.
“I will compensate you, but you’ll have to wait for a while.”
Huang Yingying, at the moment, had no money and couldn’t give Lu Xingguang what he wanted. What could she offer as compensation?
“At least give me five hundred yuan first?” Lu Xingguang drank the warm porridge, feeling his throat become a little more comfortable.
Lu Xingguang originally wanted one thousand yuan, but considering that Huang Yingying probably didn’t have that much money, he decided to ask for five hundred first.
Five hundred yuan wasn’t a small amount in this era; it was at least the monthly wage of a worker in the city.
“…” Huang Yingying was stunned.
Five hundred yuan? Was Lu Xingguang being shameless?
How could she not have five hundred yuan? Huang Yingying couldn’t help but frown.
“Heh, you don’t really have five hundred yuan, do you?” Lu Xingguang also frowned.
Huang Yingying usually acted like her family was well off. How could she not even come up with five hundred yuan?
It should be known that Lu Xingguang’s family was genuinely wealthy. His father was the factory director of a large factory, and from time to time, he’d take a little extra. He always had a decent amount of money in hand.
Before Lu Xingguang went to the countryside, his pocket money wasn’t small. Over a hundred a month was common, which showed that his father, the factory director, definitely had some extra money to spare.
“I didn’t bring that much money when I went to the countryside. My family wants to toughen me up a bit. I’ll think of a way to write home for some money soon,” Huang Yingying could only try to soothe Lu Xingguang for now.
Lu Xingguang believed some of what Huang Yingying said, given that it seemed quite plausible. After all, his father only gave him a hundred yuan when he was sent to the countryside, showing how the older generation wanted to toughen up their children.
“Make it quick,” Lu Xingguang said, taking the bowl of porridge from Huang Yingying’s hand and drinking it himself. He didn’t notice the shadow that flickered in Huang Yingying’s eyes.
If Lu Xingguang really pushed her too hard, Huang Yingying would find a way to get rid of him. As long as Lu Xingguang didn’t expose her in this matter, she wouldn’t mind sending him to the Western Paradise early. The grudge from her past life would be avenged sooner or later, and the difference wouldn’t be that big.
Thinking this, Huang Yingying relaxed a little. She had no intention of actually sending any letter to her family or asking for money.
