Chapter 17: Xia Keqing’s Suspicions

Chen Zhou’s face was as black as night.

After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, “You wait.”

“I left that industrial ticket at home, I’ll go home and get it for you.”

He sounded very certain, normal people would believe him, but Xia Keqing didn’t.

She had read the original text, she knew Chen Zhou was a low-quality person.

Not only did he love to play smart, but he was also a habitual offender when it came to deceiving women.

Such a person never told the truth, “You wouldn’t have used my industrial ticket, would you?”

Chen Zhou immediately denied, “How, how is that possible?”

At this moment, Chen Lili suddenly asked, “Brother, haven’t you been home this whole time? How could you have left something at home?”

Feng Xiaoyu and Xu Li were both injured, Chen Lili naturally stood on the side of her best friend and comforted her, on the other hand, Xu Li, Chen Zhou had to deal with Xia Keqing and didn’t have time to pay attention to her.

She looked pitifully helpless.

Ignoring the fact that Chen Lili was Chen Zhou’s own sister, she immediately retorted, “Are you your brother’s gut or his pendant? He doesn’t know where he put things, but you do?”

Chen Lili: “You!”

Xu Li put her hands on her hips, anyway, things had gotten this bad, she didn’t care about her face either, “What you, what?”

“Do you have any manners?”

“Oh, you’re friends with a person like that, how could you have any manners? You’re simply a shrew!”

Chen Lili was so angry that she pointed at Xu Li and couldn’t speak, she stomped her foot, “Brother, look at her, is she your girlfriend? I’m telling you, I don’t approve of your girlfriend, I’ll go home and tell Mom, say your girlfriend is scolding me!”

Feng Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up immediately.

She was much smarter than Chen Lili.

Although she didn’t know why Brother Chen said he left Xia Keqing’s industrial ticket at home.

But he must have had a good reason for saying that.

Her filter for Chen Zhou directly filtered out his character problems.

She immediately decided to help him cover up this lie.

“Lili, don’t say that, don’t say that because of my fight with Brother Chen.”

Chen Lili couldn’t believe it, “Xiaoyu, I’m talking about that woman, not my brother.”

Feng Xiaoyu asked back, “But didn’t you say Brother Chen hasn’t been home this whole time?”

She smiled, “We’ve been very busy at the factory this whole time, we only got a day off today, how do you know Brother Chen hasn’t been home this whole time? Maybe he went back temporarily?”

Chen Zhou subconsciously glanced at Feng Xiaoyu.

Feng Xiaoyu had also been beaten badly by Xu Li, she was already plain-looking, and her face was scratched by Xu Li, her hair was messy, she looked even worse.

But she was considerate, Chen Zhou suddenly felt that she was shining brightly.

Xu Li immediately shouted angrily, “You vixen, do you have any business talking here?”

Chen Lili’s anger, which had just been suppressed, ” Soar ” came out again, “What’s your business? Who do you think you are? Why are you scolding Xiaoyu like that?”

“My mom likes Xiaoyu, she definitely doesn’t like you!”

This was like poking Xu Li in the chest.

She widened her eyes, she was angry but she didn’t dare to say anything, she could only vent her anger on Feng Xiaoyu.

“It’s all your fault, you vixen, flirting with someone else’s boyfriend, I’ll fight you!”

Chen Zhou was caught in the middle, feeling conflicted.

“Okay, stop it, all of you.”

“Lili, aren’t you supposed to be at work? Why did you come to my school out of the blue?”

He looked at Xu Li again, and after thinking for a moment, his voice softened, “Okay, she’s my own sister, you’re my girlfriend, don’t argue with her.”

Xu Li could clearly hear the difference in Chen Zhou’s tone when he spoke to her.

She immediately raised her chin, like a proud peacock.

“I know, for you, I won’t argue with her.”

Chen Lili rolled her eyes in anger, “Brother, I definitely won’t agree to you being with her.”

Xu Li snorted, “Who do you think you are? This is a new era, we advocate free love, Chen Zhou and I are free, even Chen Zhou’s own mother has no right to interfere in our love!”

Chen Lili was so angry at Xu Li’s words.

But she couldn’t do anything against her arrogant and smug look.

“You!”

“You just wait! I will never admit to you being my sister-in-law.”

Xu Li said smugly, “Your approval is worthless!”

Chen Lili: “You!”

“Brother! Look at her, she’s already bullying me before she even enters our Chen family’s door!”

Chen Zhou started to try to smooth things over, “Okay, Lili, don’t argue with Ali.”

Xu Li looked moved, “Chen Zhou and I are both free, you’re just his sister, what are you even?”

Chen Lili stomped her foot in anger.

Xia Keqing was speechless, she just rolled her eyes.

She was forced to listen to a bunch of love-brained, ear-piercing words.

She wanted to go wash her ears.

Even in the future, most marriages that weren’t approved by parents would hit a snag, let alone in this era.

But Xu Li was a love brain, it wasn’t strange.

She just knew that if things continued like this, Xu Li would be in trouble.

But as a woman, and the original owner was a victim in the previous life, she couldn’t help but remind Xu Li.

“No matter what, you’ll be family in the future, don’t fight.”

But Xu Li didn’t appreciate it at all.

“Who asked you to be a good person?”

“If you hadn’t flirted with Chen Zhou, and insisted on giving him money and tickets, would there be so much trouble?”

Xia Keqing was silent.

She was wrong, she shouldn’t have been so sarcastic.

Scumbags and sluts should be locked up!

He Xiaolan couldn’t stand it anymore, “Xu Li, are you crazy? Our Keqing is helping you?”

“Your Chen Zhou admitted to borrowing money from our Keqing, what else do you have to say?”

“With a brain like yours, you could still get into college? You’re really a disgrace to college students!”

Xu Li’s nervousness flashed across her face.

Xia Keqing had been staring at her, she immediately caught that flicker of nervousness, and a strange thought came to her mind.

No way?

Could Xu Li’s college student status really be a problem?

Her dad was the village head.

If it were in the future, a village head would be about the same as a village chief, he wouldn’t have much real power, but it was different in this special era.

The village head’s identity had room for manipulation.

At that moment, Xia Keqing’s gaze towards Xu Li was filled with scrutiny.

Before transmigrating, Xia Keqing had seen cases where people’s identities were replaced in this special era, and their fates were changed from then on.

If something like that happened to Xu Li.

Then how desperate would the girl whose scores were replaced be?

She should have had a bright future, but because her scores were replaced, maybe she could only get married and have children early, and live a completely different life.

That would be so unfair.

But Xia Keqing was self-aware, with her current abilities, she might not be able to do anything.

Without any evidence, she couldn’t report Xu Li for cheating.

But maybe Shen Jichuan could.

If Xu Li just let it go, maybe Xia Keqing would just suspect it, but Xu Li’s IQ was really a bit urgent.

She actually started arguing with He Xiaolan.

“Why are you questioning my college student status? My dad is the village head, I’ve always been smart since I was a child, you’re just jealous that I got into college!”

He Xiaolan was amused.

“You’re saying I’m jealous of you?”

Xu Li raised her chin, “If you weren’t jealous of me, would you say that?”

Xia Keqing shook her head at He Xiaolan, forget it, sister, our IQs aren’t on the same level, let’s not bully the weak.
