Chapter 28

Bai Gaohan thought about it carefully and understood the reason, so he could only sit down with a gloomy face.

“Dad, I’m telling you this because I want you to know the truth about this matter. If my aunt’s family comes to us for help in the future, we won’t help them. And I’m not completely letting my cousin off the hook. Dad, just wait and see. Soon someone will know what my cousin did.”

Bai Ruanruan recalled the conversation she had with the staff member at the Youth League Office two days ago, and she specifically mentioned Gu Zhenxi’s name.

In this era without mobile phones and the Internet, everyone is usually bored. If they want to slack off after work, they basically just chat with colleagues and gossip.

The rumor would spread quickly. In addition, the Youth League Office was not far from Gu Zhenxi’s new home. Once the rumor spread, everyone who knew Gu Zhenxi would know what kind of person she was.

It is impossible for Gu Zhenxi to contract her own space in this lifetime, and then use the space to make a fortune. After ruining her reputation, it is even more impossible for her to find a stable job.

Then in the near future, if she meets the male protagonist in the original book, it will be even less likely that he will fall in love with her.

What she didn’t tell her parents was that she had already used space to empty the Gu family’s house. She had even made preparations to go to Gu’s house regularly to empty the house.

She would make the Gu family live in poverty from now on, and then let Gu Zhenxi see that she was living a good life. This might be more painful than killing Gu Zhenxi.

“Really?” Bai Gaohan asked a little unconvinced.

Bai Ruanruan nodded quickly, “Dad, believe me, what my cousin did will soon be known to people near her home.”

Bai Gaohan believed it for the time being and sat down first.

Things turned out just as Bai Ruanruan had expected. Only two days after Bai Ruanruan went to the Youth League Office, the gossip there had already spread.

After all, it is not a glorious thing to impersonate someone else to sign up for going to the countryside, or to sign up your own weak cousin who is not suitable for doing heavy work, and to force people to death.

Moreover, rumors and gossip become more and more intense and are often exaggerated.

The final version that came out was that Gu Zhenxi’s fiancé liked Bai Ruanruan, and Gu Zhenxi liked Bai Ruanruan’s husband. When she learned that Bai Ruanruan’s husband liked Bai Ruanruan, she was furious. She couldn’t bear it anymore, because both her fiancé and the man she liked liked Bai Ruanruan, so she pretended to be Bai Ruanruan and signed her up to go to the countryside.

The purpose is that after Bai Ruanruan leaves, these two men will belong to her, and she can also send her most hated cousin to the countryside, letting her die of overwork or illness.

Any gossip, as long as it has emotional connotations between men and women, will be spread recklessly and become more and more intense.

By the time it reached the compound where Gu Zhenxi and his friends lived, it had already become this version.

That day, when Gu Zhenxi came back from buying groceries in the morning, she found that the neighbors around her were looking at her strangely and pointing at her.

She was confused and didn’t understand what they were talking about. It had been a while since their house was visited by thieves. At the beginning, many people in the compound were pointing and talking. They thought that their family must have done something wrong to attract thieves who emptied their house.

It’s been so long now, no one should talk about it anymore.

Gu Zhenxi was puzzled and wanted to go up and ask someone, but when those who were talking saw her coming, they immediately left with guilt.

She could only return home in confusion, thinking of asking someone in a few days.

However, that night, her fiancé came to her house.

Her fiancé was a handsome and elegant man. Normally, when he came to visit her, he brought gifts with him, but this time, he came with nothing in his hands.

Gu Zhenxi’s parents saw that he seemed a little angry and confused. This future son-in-law was always very polite and smiling when he came to visit them in the past. Why was he like this today? Could something have happened that was related to their daughter?

Gu Zhenxi’s fiancé is named Lu Zisheng. He looked at them with a dark face and said, “I have heard all the rumors in the compound. Is it true?”

“Rumors? What rumors? About our house being robbed?” Gu Zhenxi asked with some confusion.

Lu Zisheng knew about this. The day after their house was robbed, they went to Lu Zisheng’s house to seek help and borrowed some money from him.

Because the two were engaged and the two families had a close relationship, when they learned that their house had been robbed, although they did not believe that all the furniture had been taken away, they thought that food and other things must have been stolen, so the Lu family lent 20 yuan to the Gu family.

Gu Zhenxi knew that no one believed that the furniture in his house had been moved out. Apart from the neighbors who stood at the door that day and saw that their living room had indeed been emptied, everyone else actually only thought that only some small things and money had been stolen from their house.

She thought that Lu Zisheng brought this up now to indicate that he already knew that all the furniture in their house had been stolen.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, Lu Zisheng sneered, “Didn’t you already talk about that matter a long time ago? What I want to ask is about your application for Bai Ruanruan to go to the countryside.”

When Gu Zhenxi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his face was filled with fear.

What’s going on? Why did Lu Zisheng know that she had signed up Bai Ruanruan to go to the countryside? She did it very secretly. Logically, even if the idiot Bai Ruanruan suspected her, there was no evidence. How could Lu Zisheng know about this, and how could others know about it?

Bai Ruanruan would never say anything without any evidence. Isn’t she afraid that she will turn around and sue her?

Lu Zisheng had originally doubted the truth of this matter, but when he saw the expression on Gu Zhenxi’s face, he thought that this matter was all true.

His fiancée really cheated on him! I really fell in love with Bai Ruanruan’s husband!

Lu Zisheng is a very chauvinistic person. He really has a crush on Bai Ruanruan and wants to get close to her.

Although they look very similar as cousins, he prefers girls like Bai Ruanruan who look weak and make him want to protect her.

But he could have a good impression of Bai Ruanruan and like Bai Ruanruan, but he would not allow his fiancée to like other men, especially because of this incident, he was jealous and signed up Bai Ruanruan to go to the countryside, wanting to kill Bai Ruanruan.

He felt that Gu Zhenxi was terrible. This was a matter of life and death. He knew that Bai Ruanruan was in such poor health that she would probably die soon if she went to the countryside, but he still sent his cousin to the countryside. Is this what the books said, that women have the most vicious hearts?

So, if he marries Gu Zhenxi in the future and there are any conflicts at home, will Gu Zhenxi try to kill him?

Thinking of this, Lu Zisheng’s heart was filled with fear, and he finally made a decision and said, “Gu Zhenxi, let’s cancel the engagement.”
