Chapter 42 Chaos

Ye Nan Yi arrived at the dormitory late at night, everyone was already asleep, no one noticed her return. When everyone woke up the next day, they found that Ye Nan Yi was back and they started chattering about what had happened recently. “Ye Zhi Qing, you’re finally back. You’re just in time to attend Wang Zhi Qing’s wedding.” These words were said by Zeng Bai Ling. Ye Nan Yi thought she had heard wrong. “Who? Whose wedding are you talking about?” Zeng Bai Ling said with a hint of gloating, “Who else could it be? Wang Xiang Dong and Qi Ai Mei!” Ye Nan Yi almost had a mental breakdown from the news. “Look, Ye Zhi Qing doesn’t believe it!”

“Of course she doesn’t, didn’t Wang Zhi Qing like Ye Zhi Qing’s step-sister?” Zeng Bai Ling said seriously, “Wang Zhi Qing is crazy now, he keeps mumbling to himself all day. I heard gossip from the village, Wang Zhi Qing’s mother really wants to take him back to the city, but his brother and sister-in-law in the city don’t agree. They forced Wang’s mother to give up on Wang Xiang Dong.” Ye Nan Yi didn’t care whether Wang Xiang Dong returned to the city or not, she was curious about what Wang Xiang Dong was mumbling about. After all, when she went to the northwest, Xu Yu Lan seemed to have some memories of her past life, but she didn’t know what was going on with Wang Xiang Dong. If this fall had brought back his past life memories, wouldn’t that be like lifting a rock to crush her own feet? “Ye Zhi Qing, why aren’t you talking?” Liu Li Li asked with some concern.

“Nothing, didn’t we say we’re going to the wedding tomorrow? Are you all going?” Everyone nodded, “We’re all going. After all, it’s the accountant’s daughter, no matter who she marries, we have to go.” Now Ye Nan Yi was curious, with Wang Xiang Dong in his current state, how did the accountant agree to marry his daughter to him? Didn’t he refuse even with a knife to his throat? Zeng Bai Ling, this big loudspeaker, told everyone what she knew. “I’ll tell you, this is first-hand information, it was Qi Ai Mei’s brother who agreed.” “Ah!” Everyone exclaimed in unison. Ye Nan Yi realized that Zeng Bai Ling would be a good gossip reporter in the future.

“You don’t know, Wang’s mother gave her family 2,000 yuan, and Wang Xiang Dong will be taken care of by Qi Ai Mei from now on. Of course, the Qi family will also help.” Everyone didn’t know what to say. The next day, everyone went to the wedding. When they arrived at the scene, there were many people saying auspicious words. But Qi Ai Mei’s parents didn’t look happy at all, instead, they looked full of worry. On the other hand, Qi Ai Mei’s brother was beaming with joy. Ye Nan Yi looked at Qi Ai Mei’s brother, she had mixed feelings.

What was he thinking, agreeing to push his own sister into the fire pit? Wang Xiang Dong wasn’t a good match even when he wasn’t crazy, let alone now. “The newlyweds are here.” With the captain’s shout, everyone watched Qi Ai Mei pull Wang Xiang Dong out. Ye Nan Yi looked at Qi Ai Mei’s happy face. She really didn’t understand, but she expressed her respect. Wang Xiang Dong, supported by Bai Yu Ling, walked forward step by step. It was more like dragging him, afraid that he would run away. “Ahem, thank you all for coming to the wedding of Wang Zhi Qing and the Qi family girl. Because things are happening so quickly, we won’t make a big deal out of it.

 Please take your seats.” As soon as the captain finished speaking, he ran away. No one had any objections, no matter who was the officiant, they couldn’t follow the normal procedure. Ye Nan Yi also sat down with everyone else, just as she was about to start eating, something unexpected happened. Wang Xiang Dong broke free from Bai Yu Ling’s hold and ran around the yard. Suddenly, he ran to Ye Nan Yi’s side and started shouting loudly.

“Ghosts! Don’t come after me, I didn’t mean to kill you.” Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden change. Wang Xiang Dong suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly towards the people at Ye Nan Yi’s table. He kept saying, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hurt you, your death has nothing to do with me, forgive me!” As he said this, he ran away, leaving everyone dumbfounded. The captain shouted, “Quickly go and catch him!” Accountant Qi Sheng Li finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Slap!” He slapped Qi Ai Mei in the face. Ye Nan Yi saw Qi Ai Mei’s face instantly swell up. “What a misfortune for our family!

 You just live a good life with Wang Zhi Qing from now on! Your mother and I can’t control you anymore.” Qi Ai Mei looked at Wang Xiang Dong, who was caught and brought back, dirty all over, for a moment, she actually felt a little disgusted. However, that disgust quickly disappeared. Ye Nan Yi watched from the side, seeing everything clearly. After this commotion, everyone lost their appetite and made excuses to leave the accountant’s house. Bai Yu Ling had been exhausted by Wang Xiang Dong for a while now. She had lost her initial patience and even wanted to escape.

“Ai Mei, this is 500 yuan that your mother gave you privately. I’m leaving now, I’ve stayed here long enough.” Bai Yu Ling took her packed luggage and quickly left. “Hey! Ai Mei, you go back to the educated youth dormitory with Wang Zhi Qing.” Qi Sheng Li also gave up.

 Qi Ai Mei went forward and pulled Wang Xiang Dong towards the educated youth dormitory. Ye Nan Yi and the others were still chatting at the dormitory door. After a while, they saw Qi Ai Mei come back with Wang Xiang Dong. Behind them was Qi Ai Mei’s brother, pushing a cart with things on it. “Ai Mei, you are a member of the Wang family from now on, come back to your parents’ house less often.” As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned except for Qi Ai Mei.

Ye Nan Yi and the others were also dumbfounded. Was this a case of burning bridges after crossing the river? The money was in hand, and they didn’t care about their own sister anymore. They were all in the same village, and they weren’t allowed to go back to their parents’ house, what was going on? Qi Ai Mei wasn’t oblivious to the other people’s stares.

But she had no way back now, she could only press on. Late at night, everyone was awakened by a scream. “What happened?” “Where did the sound come from?” “What’s wrong, is there a fire?” Everyone was asleep, they were still confused. They listened carefully again, the sound came from Wang Xiang Dong’s dormitory. “This, something might have happened! Let’s go and see.” Liu Li Li looked at Wang Xiang Dong’s door with some worry. Everyone was quite uneasy, that scream, what if something happened to the cook? He had screamed so miserably just now, and now there was no sound. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

 Although Wang Xiang Dong was crazy now, it was his wedding night, wouldn’t it be strange for them to knock on the door? Just as everyone was hesitating, Zeng Bai Ling went forward and knocked on the door. “Knock, knock, knock” For a long time, no one opened the door, and there was no sound inside. Zeng Bai Ling even put her ear to the door and listened.

Just as everyone thought the door wouldn’t open, Qi Ai Mei opened it. As soon as Qi Ai Mei came out, everyone gasped. No wonder she screamed so loudly, her face was covered in blood. At this moment, Liu Sheng had already run to the captain and the accountant’s house.
