Is this kid... too adorable or what?
With his puny little body, does he really think he could win in a fight?
Ye Yu's expression turned utterly dark, "Rong Yan, let go of Xu Ke..."
Rong Yan shifted her gaze onto him, "No way, everyone must pay the price for their actions. Otherwise, if you encounter someone not so articulate, wouldn't they be wronged to death by you all?"
Ye Yu looked at her and realized she had really changed a lot, his voice grave, "Since you didn't pick up the money, let's not talk about that… Let go of Xu Ke."
Rong Yan scoffed, "How generous of you, just because you say it's over, it's over? So, I'm to be slandered by you for nothing?"
Ye Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, "Then what do you want?"
Rong Yan, "You apologize to me in front of the whole village! Plus, compensate me for my emotional distress, fifty yuan. And in the future, stop bothering me, I'm sick of you guys!"
Xu Ke felt like she was going to lose her mind, screaming, "Impossible..."
Before she could finish her words, she was dragged away by Rong Yan.
The pain was so intense it felt like her scalp was being ripped off, "Let go of me..."
Why doesn't this bitch just drop dead?
"Ye Yu, save me."
Seeing Rong Yan was serious and not just bluffing, realizing she genuinely wanted to take her to the Police Station, Xu Ke got scared.
The Police Station... she wanted nothing to do with it.
Of course, Ye Yu wanted even less to do with the Police Station, for if Rong Yan, spurred on, really sued him for defamation, that would be a disaster.
Besides, he was planning to leave the village and return to the city in just a couple of days; there was no need to make things so strained.
"Rong Yan, stop messing around, let her go... I agree to your demands."
Rong Yan stopped and turned to look at him, snorting silently. Did he wimp out that quickly?
Boring.
She had thought he would at least argue with her for a good ten minutes or so.
"Fine, I'm not unreasonable. But when you apologize, it must be sincere and loud."
Trying to mess with her? Ha, then you all have to deal with the consequences.
Hearing her conditions, Ye Yu's face darkened even more.
"...Rong Yan, we were actually just worried about you..."
Rong Yan scoffed in disdain.
"I'm not your mother; what do I need your concern for? Besides, I can do without that kind of concern from you, right from the start thinking to pin me with a cap of dishonesty. Are you trying to drive me to death? Or make it so I can't live in this village? Your concern is really quite malicious!"
In this closed and conservative village, just a bit of gossip could be enough to ruin someone else by the likes of them two.
When Ye Yu heard the first sentence, anger was visible on his face, "Rong Yan, can you speak properly?"
"I'd like to speak properly too, but..." Rong Yan sneered with a prolonged tone, "you two don't deserve it!"
Ye Yu's face turned an iron shade of blue.
"Fine, give the money, then go and apologize." Rong Yan let go of her, gazing at Xu Ke's fearful eyes and sneering, "Don't even think about covering this up. I'm not afraid to report you to the Police Station. At that point, it'll be interesting to see..."
Her gaze swept between the two of them, "After this stain, I wonder if you'll still be able to attend university? Can you even return to the city?"
She recalled something; the original host could have been admitted to university, after all, her school grades were better than Ye Yu's.
But on the night before the college entrance exam, the original host unexpectedly got diarrhea.
It resulted in her being spiritless and weak the following day, unable to make it through even one exam.
Ye Yu: ...
Xu Ke was filled with hatred inside, yet she restrained herself on the surface, "Rong Yan, even if you hate me, you shouldn't harm Ye Yu! He managed to get into university not without difficulty, do you want to ruin his future? If you have anything you want to avenge, then come at me..."
Her words were abruptly cut off by a sharp "slap" to the left cheek.
Xu Ke covered her struck face, eyes filled with disbelief.
Had she just been slapped by Rong Yan?
That slap had genuinely angered Ye Yu, who had been trying to keep the peace.
"Rong Yan, you've gone too far, how can you hit someone?"
Rong Yan raised an eyebrow with a cold laugh, "How am I being excessive? Didn't she just say herself she wanted me to come at her? What I'm doing is fulfilling her great love! Besides..."
She reached out and slapped the other cheek of Xu Ke with a smack.
"This is what she deserves. Anyone can talk high and mighty, but not her."
"The night before the university entrance exams, she actually drugged me. I nearly died that night, causing me to faint from lack of strength in the exam hall the next day. Just for this..." Rong Yan sneered, her eyes void of warmth, "Even if I beat her to death, it would be too lenient."
Her words were like a bomb, stunning Qin Yu, Ye Yu, and Xu Ke present at the scene.
Xu Ke's swollen face immediately changed color again, the shock clear in her eyes.
How... how could she know?
Seeing the look in this woman's eyes, Rong Yan knew she was absolutely right.
A chill flashed in her eyes. If that was the case, she would avenge the original victim in full.
Qin Yu, who had reacted, was furious, never expecting this woman to be so malicious.
Ye Yu, on the other hand, was completely shocked.
He instinctively looked at Xu Ke, unable to believe she could do such a thing... How could that be possible?
Xu Ke, feeling his gaze, was truly panicked now.
"Ye Yu, she's talking nonsense. How could I possibly do such a thing? Besides, this incident happened so long ago. If it was me who caused her diarrhea... could she have endured for such a long time?"
"Rong Yan is clearly angry about what just happened, she's trying to smear me..."
Hearing this, Ye Yu thought the same.
Xu Ke was such a kind person and always willing to help others, how could she do such a vicious act that would destroy someone's future?
He refused to believe that the girl he liked was such a bad person.
Turning his head, he looked at Rong Yan with a face full of disappointment.
"Rong Yan... How can you spout such nonsense? I know you're upset about failing the university entrance exam, but that doesn't mean you should become like this. At worst, you can just retake it next year..."
Rong Yan said mockingly, "Are you a weather vane, blowing over at the slightest wind? Or are you just a tall guy with no brain? Are your eyes just decorative? Can't you see how anxious and guilty she is?"
Ye Yu's face alternated between green and white...
Clearly, he was infuriated by the confrontation.
At this moment, Xu Ke truly wanted to bite Rong Yan dead.
To stop her from saying anything else that might shake Ye Yu's beliefs, she screamed out, "Rong Yan, I didn't do it, don't slander me. If you keep this up, then let's go to the Police Station, and let the police investigate. If I did such a bad thing, then let them arrest and sentence me."
That bitch liked to have the police prove her innocence, didn't she? She didn't believe that bitch would really dare to go.
Rong Yan let out a cold laugh, stepped forward, and directly grabbed her arm, "Let's go. If you hesitate even a little, you won't get to eat a single dish for the rest of your life."
Qin Yu:...
His sister-in-law was still his sister-in-law.
That's how you deal with bad people, making sure they don't get to enjoy a single dish for the rest of their life. That's truly satisfying.
Xu Ke had initially just wanted to scare Rong Yan, but now that bitch was really going to take her to the Police Station.
No way... She was not going.
In a panic, she again sought Ye Yu's help.
"Let go of me... Ye Yu, save me..."
Ye Yu, snapping back to reality, immediately said to Rong Yan, "Rong Yan, let her go."
Xu Ke, relieved to see Ye Yu help her, had yet to feel touched when she heard him continue, "Let her walk on her own."
Xu Ke:...?
Walk my ass.
Rong Yan's lips curled up slightly, "That won't do. What if she runs? Can't you see that she actually doesn't want to go? Sorry, I forgot that you're blind."
Ye Yu's face darkened again.
"Don't worry, Xu Ke won't run. With me here, she will go to the Police Station to clear her name, but you're not allowed to bring up the past incident."
Rong Yan's face was full of mockery, "You're not only blind but also a credulous man, ordinary and yet so confident. Fine, if she runs, I'll just have to sue you."
Ye Yu:...
