Chapter 859: Chapter 859 Turn of Events - A Marriage Proposal at the Door (1)

Seeing Liu Tinglan with red and swollen eyes, nearly heartbroken, Mo Yan was taken aback. She had thought her dear friend had suffered some great blow she was unaware of. After Father Liu and Mother Liu left, fretting, she couldn’t wait to drag Liu Tinglan into her own room.

Before Mo Yan could even ask, Liu Tinglan took out a handkerchief and, while wiping away tears, complained pitifully, "Storybooks are indeed full of lies. Chilies don’t work, and pickled chilies are even worse. Look, my eyes are nearly blinded by the burn. Luckily, I fooled my parents, otherwise, my suffering would have been for nothing."

After listening, Mo Yan was speechless. So the whole pitiful act was just a façade. With such acting skills, if she were in modern times, she could easily outshine those pretty-faced, talentless Little Flowers.

But really, you torment yourself like this and then blame it all on the chilies? Is that really okay?

Seeing her look, Liu Tinglan knew exactly what Mo Yan was thinking and switched to a mode of self-pity with no pressure: "Wuu, Yanyan, I’ve been jilted by my fiancé, and those shameless people have falsely accused me, throwing dirt on my name. Now that I’m so miserable, can’t you at least comfort me properly?"

Watching her friend’s notable performance, Mo Yan had intended just to watch, but seeing the tears fall like they cost nothing and her cries growing more and more wretched, she couldn’t tell if it was real or fake. Her heart softened, and she approached to comfort Liu Tinglan, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, "Enough now, stop crying. Such a scumbag isn’t worth your sorrow. Now that you’ve seen his true face, isn’t that a good thing?"

Clutching Mo Yan’s sleeve, Liu Tinglan sobbed, "That’s all well and good, but that scumbag is so shameless. When my parents presented the evidence of his affairs right in front of him, proposing to annul the engagement and asked him to care about his reputation and not make a fuss, he agreed on the surface. Yet as soon as my parents left, he bribed local hooligans to spread rumors and even accused my parents of being untrustworthy, breaking off an arranged marriage on a whim, certainly because the Liu Family is aiming for a more advantageous match. He then claimed that I’m fickle and loose, that I’m the worn shoe he discarded, wuu, Yanyan, wouldn’t you be upset in my place?"

Upon saying this, Liu Tinglan was genuinely heartbroken, the thought of such a despicable man being her former fiancé filled her with more revulsion than swallowing a fly!

"What? That scumbag dared to do such a thing?" Mo Yan’s voice rose sharply in shock. She had expected that man surnamed Du wouldn’t let the matter rest but hadn’t imagined he’d be so brazen.

If it had been her, having faced something like this at the tender age of sixteen in her previous life, she would have surely cried from anger. In an era where a woman’s reputation meant everything, he thought of how much gossip and slander Sister Lan must have suffered these days!

Thinking this, Mo Yan’s heart ached terribly, and she patted Liu Tinglan’s shoulder, gritting her teeth, "Just wait, I will make that man surnamed Du pay for his foolish actions!"

Hearing Mo Yan’s words, Liu Tinglan was moved to teary eyes yet shook her head, advising, "Yanyan, don’t bother with that sort of scum. If you confront him, he could bite back and entangle you as well!"

Mo Yan poked her friend’s forehead, speaking sternly, "Do you think I’m foolish enough to confront that scumbag in public? Also, you, having suffered so much, why didn’t you send word to me earlier?"

Liu Tinglan always feared Mo Yan’s serious demeanor; she quickly leaned in and cozied up to her arm, trying to please her, "Wasn’t I just worried about you? My parents felt the same, repeatedly cautioning me not to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan said helplessly, "Count and Countess still don’t see me as one of their own. You are my best sister. How could I just watch you suffer like this?"
