Chapter 17: Settle your marriage!

As long as there’s an engagement, it doesn’t count as hooliganism!

Although Liu Xiaotong despised Wang Wenqiang, feeling he wasn’t worthy of her, the situation had reached this point, and she had to admit it.

Her words made Wang Wenqiang react.

“Yes, we’re engaged, and we’ll be getting married soon!”

The police officers present frowned, their eyes filled with disdain and anger.  They were being treated like fools!

Lin Yitang couldn’t help but curl her lips, her eyes mischievous, looking like a fluffy little fox.

Yu Jingchuan, noticing her expression, felt a little helpless. Lin Yitang had clearly planned this, calculating everything perfectly.

“Getting married? That means you’re not married yet. You’ve crossed the line, and you not only intentionally harmed someone but also maliciously slandered them. You must be severely punished!”

The female police officer shouted angrily, shattering Liu Xiaotong and Wang Wenqiang’s last hope.

They were immediately apprehended, awaiting further investigation.

Lin Yitang was unharmed and even comforted by the police.  After being told she could leave, she said goodbye and left.

Before leaving the police station, she heard Wang Xiulian’s cries and Wang Wenqiang’s mother’s curses.  Chaos reigned inside.

But none of that mattered to her anymore. Lin Yitang felt relieved.

Yu Jingchuan followed her, still with a stern face.

Even though Lin Yitang had been drugged, no one knew if her actions afterward were intentional.

Yu Jingchuan still remembered her clinging to him, like a seductive Bitch.

He didn’t believe Lin Yitang hadn’t deliberately seduced him; otherwise, how could he have almost lost control?

This was the second time. Yu Jingchuan hated this feeling of near loss of control.  Regardless of whether Lin Yitang had used a different tactic, he needed to make things clear.

“Lin Yitang, this is the second time. I don’t want this to happen again.”

The man’s gaze was cold, with a hint of warning.

Lin Yitang understood. Twice, she and Yu Jingchuan had been entangled; he must have been disgusted.

“You think I was deliberately seducing you again?”

Yu Jingchuan didn’t answer, but his meaning was clear.

He still suspected her.

Lin Yitang smiled indifferently.

“I don’t care what you think of me, but I want to tell you, I was blind and foolish before. I will never cling to you again.”

The woman spoke seriously, her gaze no longer as ardent.

Yu Jingchuan was stunned, saying nothing, and strode forward.

Lin Yitang ignored Yu Jingchuan and hurried back. She still wanted to set up her stall to sell cold skin and noodles; otherwise, she would be late.

If asked what was most important to Lin Yitang, it would be making money!

She needed to move out of the Yu family’s home quickly to avoid bothering Yu Jingchuan.  She didn’t want to have much contact with him; leaving sooner was better.

Since she was moving out, she needed more money. Once she had saved enough, she could buy her own house.

Ideally, she could also have her own small shop, find a handsome man who only loved her, and live happily ever after!

Lin Yitang’s thoughts were pleasant, her smile uncontainable.

Back at the Yu family’s home, Chu Peilan immediately inquired about the incident.  Learning the details, she was furious.

“That’s outrageous! What kind of cousin is that? Yitang, why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing? If I had known you suffered such injustice, I would have sought justice for you!”

Recently, there had been a crackdown on moral issues, and plotting against a girl’s chastity could ruin her reputation and life.

Luckily, Lin Yitang was quick-witted and avoided being harmed; otherwise, her life might have been ruined!

“Aunt Chu, I’m fine now, and I had a plan to deal with them. Now they’ll get what they deserve!”

Lin Yitang didn’t take the matter to heart.  Reborn, she wouldn’t let herself suffer injustice.

She wouldn’t suffer losses; she would make others suffer losses!

She chatted with Chu Peilan for a while before hurrying to the kitchen.

After the incident, she hadn’t eaten lunch and was now very hungry. After making the cold skin and noodles, she ate some to fill her stomach.

Then Lin Yitang went to the steel factory gate to set up her stall.

She hadn’t been there for two days due to illness, and many people were craving her food, so business was excellent.

Li Xuemei rushed out after work to buy two servings of cold skin, asking, “Yitang, why weren’t you here the past two days? My family was waiting to eat this!”

Lin Yitang smiled at Li Xuemei.  She had become familiar with many people during her time at the steel factory.

Li Xuemei was her first customer and bought cold skin almost every day. She was warm and generous, and Lin Yitang liked her.

“I was sick the past two days. I just recovered and reopened my stall. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I’ll give you an extra serving of cold skin!”

Lin Yitang’s generosity delighted Li Xuemei, but she felt embarrassed to accept.

“Sister Xuemei, please take it. I need your help with something!”

Li Xuemei was puzzled. “What is it? Just ask if I can help!”

Lin Yitang immediately said, “I want to rent a house nearby. Do you know of any places?”

There was a lot of traffic near the steel factory, and she would likely be setting up her stall there for a while, so renting a place nearby would be ideal!

Li Xuemei thought it was something else, just renting a house.

She patted her chest, assuring her, “Girl, you’ve come to the right person! I know everyone in the family housing area. I’ll help you find a place in the next couple of days!”

Lin Yitang thanked her profusely, giving her an extra serving of cold skin and a serving of cold noodles.

Li Xuemei couldn’t refuse and accepted, determined to help Lin Yitang find a house quickly.

After selling everything, Lin Yitang strolled back to the Yu family’s home. Before entering, she heard a stern voice inside.

Walking into the living room, Lin Yitang saw Yu Jianguo sitting on the sofa.  His years in high positions gave him an imposing presence, the military’s sharp aura making people instinctively fearful.

Yu Jianguo was talking to Chu Peilan. Seeing Lin Yitang enter, a smile appeared on his serious face.

“Yitang is back. I heard from your Aunt Chu that you can cure her leg. I didn’t expect you to be so skilled!”

Yu Jianguo was a stern and silent man, but he had a deep affection for Chu Peilan. His wife’s leg injury was a concern for him.

“Uncle Yu, my acupuncture skills are average, not as good as my grandfather’s. Aunt Chu is fortunate; her leg injury isn’t as serious as it seems, otherwise, I might be helpless.”

Lin Yitang wasn’t being humble. If her grandfather were alive, Chu Peilan’s recovery would have been faster.

Yu Jianguo’s eyes showed approval and appreciation. The more he saw Lin Yitang’s smile, the more he liked her.  Noticing his eldest son coming downstairs, he recalled Lin Yitang chasing after Yu Jingchuan.

Yu Jianguo began to observe the two, finding them a good match.

After taking a sip of tea, he said in a deep voice, “Jingchuan is not young anymore and should consider his personal affairs. I think you and Yitang are a good match. Why don’t you set a date for your wedding?”
