Chapter 57 A hilarious farce [Part 2]

Lu Cheng’s brow furrowed, his heart filled with anxiety and helplessness. He knew Xiao Yichen’s background and status. If this matter wasn’t handled well, it would not only affect his friendship with Xiao Yichen, but it could also cause a series of unforeseen troubles. Lin Yuexi sat beside him, biting her lip. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Let’s go find out what’s going on first, and see what Jingyi and her mother are really thinking.

Maybe we can find a solution.” Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, and they both got up and went to the scene of the incident. When Liu Cuifang saw Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi arrive, she was stunned for a moment, then she began to cry again, “Chengzi, you have to stand up for your sister! Look at this Xiao Yichen, he kissed your sister, but he refuses to take responsibility. How can we hold our heads up in the village after this?” Lu Cheng looked at Liu Cuifang, trying to be patient, and said, “Mom, Jingyi is still young, she’s not suitable for marriage. You can’t force her like this.

” Lu Jingyi lay on the ground, her eyes darting around, not daring to look directly at Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi. Lin Yuexi walked over and said softly, “Jingyi, your clothes are so wet, why don’t you go back first?” “Sister-in-law, I won’t go back. I want him to give me an explanation…” Lin Yuexi was speechless. Who taught her this? “Lu Jingyi, if you keep lying here by the pond, everyone will see you! Besides, you go back first, change your clothes, and let Xiao Yichen come to the old house to discuss it with your parents, isn’t that the same?” Lin Yuexi persuaded her earnestly. Lu Jingyi immediately agreed when she heard that she could discuss it.

As soon as Lu Jingyi got up and left, the onlookers dispersed. Everyone thought to themselves, the Lu family is really funny.

 Six years ago, they were entangled by the Lin family using this trick, forcing Lu San to marry Lin Yuexi. Six years later, the Lu family is using the same method to entangle Lu Cheng’s good brother, the Xiao family.

They wonder how Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi will handle this. On the way back home, the atmosphere was heavy. Although Liu Cuifang stopped crying, she kept mumbling and complaining about Xiao Yichen. After returning home, when Lu Jingyi changed her clothes, Lu Cheng called Lu Jingyi aside and asked softly, “Jingyi, tell your brother the truth, what happened that day?” Lu Jingyi lowered her head, her hands twisting her clothes, and hesitated for a long time before whispering, “I accidentally fell into the water, and Brother Xiao saved me. After he pulled me out, he kissed me…”

 “Xiao Yichen kissed you…” “Yes, brother, many people in the village saw it.” “Brother Cheng, I saw that she had been submerged for a long time, so I gave her CPR…” Xiao Yichen walked over to explain when he heard Lu Jingyi say this. “What CPR? You clearly took advantage of my Jingyi…” Li Xiuyin stood up, fearing that this matter wouldn’t achieve the effect she wanted. “Xiao Yichen, you kissed my Jingyi in front of so many people, and you want to shirk responsibility, right?…” Liu Cuifang followed closely behind. “Mom, stop adding fuel to the fire. Jingyi is still young, she can’t get married.

And Xiao Yichen is my best brother, he’s not that kind of frivolous person. Besides, he really saved Jingyi. I don’t know what she’s thinking. If saving people gets you blamed, who would dare to save people in the future…” Lu Cheng said angrily. “San, you’re making light of it. Didn’t you also save Lin Yuexi and marry her? Why are you siding with her now?” Liu Cuifang said loudly. Lu Cheng was speechless by Liu Cuifang’s words, his face flushed red. Seeing this, Lin Yuexi gently pulled Lu Cheng’s sleeve, signaling him to calm down.

She stepped forward and said to Liu Cuifang and Li Xiuyin, “Mom, Sister-in-law, how can you compare what happened back then with Jingyi’s situation now? Chengzi and I truly love each other, and we got married later. But Jingyi is still young, she doesn’t understand these things. We can’t ruin her whole life because of a moment of anger.” Liu Cuifang snorted coldly, “True love? Who knows if you two have any ulterior motives.”

 Lin Yuexi was furious when she heard this. Back then, the original owner didn’t want to marry him, if it hadn’t been for Lu Cheng’s willingness to marry her, would this have happened? Besides, even if the original owner reluctantly married him, wasn’t she tortured to death by their Lu family in the end? This family still has the nerve to bring it up. “Mom, don’t compare Jingyi’s matter with what happened to me and Yuexi. The Xiao family and our family are not comparable. Besides, back then, I really liked Lin Yuexi, it wasn’t because I was forced by the Lin family…”

As soon as Lu Cheng’s words came out, Liu Cuifang, Lu Zhengdong, Lu Jianguo, and Li Xiuyin were all stunned! Didn’t Lu Cheng get forced to marry Lin Yuexi back then? How did it become voluntary? Did that bitch Lin Yuexi say a lot of bad things about us during the half year she spent in the capital? “San, let’s not talk about your business now. How do we resolve your sister’s business? So many people in the village saw it, who would want her now…” Liu Cuifang, true to form, quickly brought the conversation back to the main point. After hearing Liu Cuifang’s words, Lu Cheng rubbed his temples, feeling exhausted.

He looked at Xiao Yichen, then at his family who looked concerned, and took a deep breath before saying, “Mom, it’s not right for Jingyi’s matter to be resolved by Yichen. Let’s do this! You send Jingyi to continue her studies in the county tomorrow, I’ll pay for all the expenses. When Jingyi grows up and becomes sensible in a few years, we’ll see what she wants.” “No, San, your money didn’t come from the wind, why should you pay? Besides, your money is our Lu family’s money, shouldn’t you keep it for us to use when we’re old? If you’re going to pay, the Xiao family should pay…”

 Liu Cuifang shouted loudly. Lu Cheng didn’t expect his mother to be so shameless and didn’t know how to answer her. Luckily, Xiao Yichen spoke up at this time, “Auntie, I’ll pay for all of Sister Jingyi’s tuition and living expenses, alright?” “Yichen, you… you…” Lu Cheng sighed. “Brother Cheng, your sister is my sister, it’s only right for me to send her to school…” After finishing his sentence, Xiao Yichen pushed Lu Cheng towards the three big tiled houses. But Liu Cuifang stopped them, “Xiao, your words are empty promises, let’s put it in writing…”

“Enough, Mom, give Jingyi and me some face!” Lu Cheng angrily slapped the armrest of his wheelchair. “Brother Cheng, don’t be angry, it’s understandable that Auntie doesn’t trust me…” With that, he actually took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Cuifang. “Auntie, is this enough for Sister Jingyi’s tuition and living expenses for a year? If not, I’ll send more when I get back to the capital…”

 Liu Cuifang took the 500 yuan, a satisfied expression on her face, but she still said stubbornly, “That’s more like it, but you have to keep your word. If you dare to cheat us, I’ll go to Beijing to make a scene.”
