Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 570: Lying to Me?

Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Lying to Me?

What was Lin Qing’s approach?

Based on Lin Qing’s behavior toward her, Song Yunuan analyzed and guessed that it was probably something to make her angry.

She first threatened Song Yunuan with her brother’s capabilities, but seeing no significant reaction from Song Yunuan, and that it only backfired, Lin Qing started to mock and insult her, bringing up Gu Huai’an.

If it were a girl with a stronger sense of pride, she probably would have gotten angry.

Indeed, her goal was to provoke her.

But what did Lin Qing want to do by provoking her?

Make her lose her reason and act like a madwoman?

What could Lin Qing gain from that?

It still seemed incorrect.

But she did indeed want to provoke Song Yunuan, and Song Yunuan felt that, even if not accurate, this was probably very close to the truth.

Keep an eye on Lin Qing?

Unnecessary!

If she wanted to take action, she would surely come looking for her again.

As for targeting her family?

Song Yunuan thought of a possibility.

That was, perhaps, to cause some trouble for her elder brother.

Song Yunuan decided to go see her brother.

She had been too busy running around lately and hadn’t visited her brother’s school.

Song Yunuan did not inform Song Mingbo, but went directly there.

Naturally, she also didn’t tell her uncle.

She entered the school without any problems and went to find her brother’s dormitory.

She didn’t expect to see her brother walking with a girl at a corner.

Huh?

Something was going on.

Afterward, they stopped.

Song Yunuan quickly hid behind an ancient tree.

The tree trunk was thick and perfectly concealed Song Yunuan’s figure.

Song Yunuan just stood there and then, Song Mingbo and the girl actually walked under the tree.

It turned out to be just right.

Song Yunuan leaned casually against the tree, and to the unknowing, she might seem like another student here.

She heard the girl say, "...I mean no offense, it’s just that I think some of them look down on you, feeling that since you’re from a rural area, you don’t fit in with them.

I’ve experienced the same thing. The girls in my dorm are as guarded against me as they would be against a thief, thinking that just because I come from a poor area, I must be prone to stealing. The only reason I’m here is because I fought tooth and nail against it, else my family would have sold me off to get a bride for my elder brother. It was only after a local official intervened that I got the chance to study.

So I have to earn my own tuition fees, sorry, I was presumptuous, I shouldn’t have assumed you might be strapped for cash and suggested you help me work at the restaurant. That was thoughtless of me, my apologies."

Song Yunuan listened clearly.

It seemed that this female classmate had found a job to earn tuition fees at a restaurant, especially since the subsidies for their batch had been discontinued.

It indeed was tough for families with financial difficulties.

The classmate thought that her brother, also from a rural area, might be short on money as well, and since the restaurant happened to need another worker, she came to ask her brother if he would go.

It was a simple matter.

Nothing seemed abnormal.

The things she had overheard seemed rather unusual.

Song Mingbo ruffled his hair, visibly irritated, hesitating as if there was something he wanted to say.

The female classmate looked up, a flicker of something indescribable passing through her eyes.

She was hoping that Song Mingbo would go with her.

Song Mingbo was a kind person.

Working with him at the restaurant, she probably wouldn’t be bullied.

What was important was that she could complete the task that woman had assigned her, and she could also make some money. It was killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

"The timing for that restaurant is just right. We can rush over to help right after classes and school, and they pay well too. Plus, it’s not far from school. Song Mingbo, are you really not considering it? Do you look down on the job of waiting tables?"

Then the voice of the female classmate choked up, "This is the best job I can find right now, it’s just... it’s just that the owner doesn’t seem very nice, and... I just want you to go as well, so the owner wouldn’t dare to bully us."

Song Yunuan furrowed her brows.

This female classmate, to tell the truth, was very pretty, the type that seemed somewhat delicate.

If she looked aggrieved and started crying, she might look even better.

She wanted big brother to be her support.

Was this thinking wrong?

Actually, it wasn’t.

Choosing someone with a similar family background, at the very least, they would have common ground and could take care of each other.

Song Mingbo put down his hand and said sullenly, "Kong Chunying, I really don’t want to expose your lie, but you shouldn’t slander your family like this."

What?

Slander her family?

Song Yunuan’s eyes narrowed.

Kong Chunying wasn’t telling the truth?

Kong Chunying herself was stunned too, her heart starting to race in panic.

After all, it was her first time doing something like this, and she immediately felt guilty.

Her lips moved, and she said in a dry voice, "Song Mingbo, you... what do you mean? I don’t understand."

Song Mingbo said, "You have kind parents who treat you well and an older brother who is proud of you. You’re able to attend school because your big brother and your father took on odd jobs to save up for your tuition. It’s right for you to earn living expenses at the restaurant, and you can go there with peace of mind. The female owner of that place is a good person. As long as you work hard, she won’t mistreat you. What I don’t understand is why you would lie to deceive me?"

Kong Chunying: ...

Her mind went blank for a moment.

Since she had come here to study, she had not told anyone about her family situation or anything at home. How did Song Mingbo find out?

After the blankness came the panic.

She took a step back, her lips trembling, "How... how did you know?"

Song Mingbo said, "You don’t need to worry about how I found out. I just know. It’s not right for you to slander your parents and your big brother in front of your classmates like this."

Kong Chunying stared at Song Mingbo for a long time in a daze, then suddenly turned and ran away.

Song Mingbo hadn’t expected her to run away. He wanted to chase after her but was startled by a burst of familiar laughter.

Turning around, he saw his younger sister, Little Nuan.

His face immediately turned red as he said to Song Yunuan, "You... you brat, what are you hiding here for?"

Song Yunuan said, "What do you mean hiding here? I was waiting for you here in the first place."

Song Mingbo scratched his head, annoyed, "Why would she lie to deceive me?"

Song Yunuan asked, "Do you still remember Lin Qing?"

Song Mingbo said, "Of course, she’s the younger sister of Lin Zhiqing, isn’t she?"

He did not have a good impression of that woman.

Pretentious, arrogant, and overbearing.

And also paranoid, always making assumptions.

He certainly hadn’t forgotten that this woman was also one of the executioners who had harmed his family.

Even though that might have been in a past life.

"She’s been causing some kind of trouble lately, going to my place and spouting some nonsensical stuff. So I came to see if she had come to you too. I guess this lying classmate must have been instigated by her. But now that you’ve debunked her lies, she probably won’t come to you again."

Song Mingbo wasn’t reassured, but asked, "So, she was so eager to have me join her in working part-time, was she probably trying to harm me?"
