Chapter 372: How to Break the Game?

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: How to Break the Game?

Lin Xuezhu felt her mind was in disarray.

Something was not right, she needed to sort it out.

Suddenly, as if a realization struck her, "Do you have any proof that you paid for the books? No, no, even if you did pay, so what? What kind of relationship do these two have? He bought books for her among so many people in the cultural troupe. Why only Song Ting? If this isn’t made clear, there’s no need to discuss anything else. Give me an explanation right now."

After these words were spoken, the meeting room fell into an uneasy silence once again.

Actually, the reason Song Ting had only resisted passively and not fought back hard was exactly this.

To say she felt guilty? Song Ting didn’t think she was. She had spent money on the books, and she wasn’t a stranger to Lew Yuan. At that time, she really didn’t think there was anything to it, but Lin Xuezhu’s outburst had put her in a difficult position.

This was also the main reason why Lew Yuan had not explained the situation for himself and Song Ting.

Because anyone in this situation would be angry.

The official fiancée got nothing, yet he bought a book for the girl he used to like. Regardless of whether money was given, just the act was enough to cause heartache.

Old Mrs. Song glared at Lew Yuan with resentment; the damned fool. Knowing that Tingting didn’t like him, he should have given up. Why buy a book? What was he thinking? That’s not a good look.

And that foolish girl, with no sense at all, only focusing on learning music and singing well.

She hadn’t even noticed that Chu Zizhou liked her, not until now.

And what about that worthless book? It actually cost three yuan and fifty cents, quite expensive indeed.

Old Mrs. Song didn’t blame her own daughter. The silly girl spent money on a book and had thanked Lew Yuan; perhaps she really thought there was nothing to it. That was just Tingting’s nature.

When they were raising Siqi and Abo, especially Siqi, who was extremely lazy and wouldn’t even get off her youngest aunt’s back.

One year, Song Nian was filling a thermos with boiling water. After filling it, he intended to take it to the main house, but halfway there, the thermos exploded, and Siqi, an eight-year-old, was standing right in the center of the room.

Song Ting rushed forward and pulled Siqi away, but she ended up getting scalded on her own back. Fortunately, it was winter, and she wore a padded jacket. Despite that, her nape still got burned by the boiling water.

Song Ting too was just a child, crying loudly from the pain, yet still she said to quickly check if Siqi was burnt.

Luckily, they had badger oil at home, which healed the burn; unless one looked closely, it would not be noticeable.

After Siqi was taken away, her foolish daughter tearfully asked if she could write letters, only to be annoyingly rejected by Siqi.

That was Little Nuan, always so magnanimous. If she were spiteful, wouldn’t she have held a grudge?

And now, she had gotten entangled in this messy affair.

It seemed like jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear her name.

Old Man Song furrowed his brows, Song Liang also felt like beating Lew Yuan, the troublemaker, to death.

All his fault; otherwise, none of this mess would have happened.

But if Lin Xuezhu spoke harshly, he was prepared to step in with his old face on the line. People’s gossip was to be feared; if he let her vent and fabricate stories, Song Ting’s reputation would be ruined by Lin Xuezhu.

And Chu Zizhou thought, it was just buying a book, what of it? Why was everyone making a fuss as if it were some big scandal?

Was this the ancient times?

What could a piece of learning material for music represent?

It needed no attention at all.

In his opinion, Lin Xuezhu was simply jealous and seizing the opportunity to destroy Song Ting.

Could such a small matter really ruin someone?

Chu Zizhou wasn’t sure, nor did he dare to test it. The girl who kissed Shaomin was sent back to her family’s home to get married, and he didn’t know how she was faring now.

But how could such a hasty marriage turn out well?

Even so, Chu Zizhou had to remain silent. In such matters, he had no right to interfere.

Moreover, as a man, if he got involved, it would likely only make things worse.

However, she inexplicably wasn’t worried.

Song Yunuan’s abilities were exceptional, the Xia’s of Beidu, the Shangguan’s and the Zhong’s from Xiangjiang, which one of them wasn’t a giant?

Yet in front of Song Yunuan, didn’t they also obediently comply?

This Lin Xuezhu seemed to be just a sprout, but he was very curious about how precisely Song Yunuan would break the situation and extract Tingting out.

Song Ting did regret it, if she had known it would be this troublesome, she wouldn’t have bought that book.

At that time, she really hadn’t thought that much into it.

Because that was exactly what she needed.

Song Yunuan’s gaze swept over the three of them, triggering the plot just now, though it was just a few fragmented snippets, that was enough.

She didn’t let her Youngest Aunt speak.

After this incident, her Youngest Aunt should have learned a lot, at least to be prudent and cautious in her speech.

That would be hugely beneficial for her Youngest Aunt’s future.

Therefore, while everyone at home wore a deeply aggrieved expression, Song Yunuan truly didn’t mind it.

Even if the plot hadn’t been triggered, she would have had ways to break through today’s predicament.

But since it had been triggered, it was much more convenient for her.

Moreover, her Youngest Aunt would sooner or later go to Beidu, where the environment is complicated.

Before returning to Nanshan County Town, she specifically went to Zhu Mann’s home.

She went together with Second Grandpa.

Then she learned of Zhu Mann’s intention. Zhu Mann said she wanted to call, yet always felt that Tingting was talented but timid, considering Nanshan her comfort zone, seemingly not fond of leaving it.

Zhu Mann said with a smile that it was also her first time seeing such a girl.

Song Yunuan had then promised on behalf of her Youngest Aunt on the spot.

That was the context for the words just now.

It wasn’t something Song Yunuan had fabricated out of thin air.

So, she turned to Lew Yuan, "Since things have reached this stage, let’s air everything out and make it clear, to avoid dredging up the past in the future. The source of the conflict now appears to be you buying a book for my Youngest Aunt, right?"

Lew Yuan sighed, "Yes, if I say I really didn’t think that much into it, probably no one would believe it..."

Song Yunuan interrupted him, "You’re right, without any hidden motives, simply buying a book for my Youngest Aunt, no one would believe it, just like you actually bought gifts for Lin Xuezhu. But not only did she refuse to believe it, she even lashed out with foul language, and you were so angry that you destroyed the red scarf and black leather boots you hadn’t yet managed to give her, correct?"

Lew Yuan, who was originally immersed in regret, suddenly widened his eyes and blurted out, "How did you know?"

Lin Xuezhu was also stunned on the spot.

A red scarf, black leather boots, she had mentioned to him that she really liked them, but at that time he had no reaction.

Had he really bought them for her?

Was it true or false?

Lin Xuezhu’s heart began thumping wildly.

Song Yunuan said, "This is easy to analyze. Someone as thoughtful as Comrade Lew Yuan, how could he possibly go on a business trip to the provincial city and not buy something for his family, especially his fiancée? This year, in our Beiquan, red scarves and black leather boots are a trend, I saw many girls wearing them in the provincial city.

Comrade Lew Yuan, you must have been happy to bring the gifts home, and you certainly wouldn’t casually give them to Lin Xuezhu; you’d pick an appropriate time. But before you could, Lin Xuezhu erupted over a book.

I believe everyone here has witnessed Lin Xuezhu’s talent for spouting nonsense. Comrade Lew has his pride and wouldn’t tolerate Lin Xuezhu’s insults. Therefore, after returning home and seeing those two gifts, you destroyed them in a fit of rage.

The most important thing is, those gifts really couldn’t be given away now.

Lin Xuezhu’s constant accusations are of Lew Yuan not buying her anything—so now if Comrade Lew produced the gifts, it would be twisted by the petty-minded Lin Xuezhu to be due to his guilt as an attempt to make up for it."
