Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Left Behind

Upon discovering that Matchmaker Li’s target was Shen Mianmian, Zhou Siyu felt a surge of relief in her heart, thankful that her aunt had wrapped a scarf around her, leaving only her eyes exposed, which prevented Matchmaker Li from recognizing her.

As soon as Shen Mianmian saw Matchmaker Li, she knew the visitor meant trouble, but she had an exam to attend and didn’t have time to waste on this.

She spoke with particular calmness, "If there’s something you need, you can go to my house and look for my mom first, I need to go to my exam now."

Having said that, she picked up her foot to leave, but Matchmaker Li grabbed her school bag with the other hand.

Exam?

She had been waiting for just this moment; how could she have ended up here by chance if not for calculating the timing?

"I don’t care whether you’re going to your exam or not, I’m asking you, did you start the gossip about the Xu Family from inside?"

Just as expected, it was about this matter. Shen Mianmian’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Aunt Liu knew what Matchmaker Li was like and would definitely not expose her, and only a few knew about the issue.

Remembering Zhou Siyu’s incident with the sunflower seeds, she turned her gaze toward Zhou Siyu.

Zhou Siyu felt guilty under her gaze and hurriedly said to Matchmaker Li, "Auntie, if you’re looking for her, then can you let go of my bike so I can go to school?"

This time, Zhou Siyu was determined to break the pot to sink the boat. As long as Matchmaker Li held up Shen Mianmian, preventing her from taking the exam, even if Shen Jianhua blamed her for leaving Shen Mianmian behind, at least she would be free to go to school.

If she missed the exam, Teacher Li would definitely have to expel Shen Mianmian.

Matchmaker Li thought Zhou Siyu’s voice sounded familiar, but couldn’t remember who it was. Her target was Shen Mianmian anyway, and one less person around would undoubtedly be better.

She let go of Zhou Siyu’s bicycle, "This has nothing to do with you, if you want to leave then be quick about it."

"Sister, don’t blame me," Zhou Siyu said with a helpless face. "This is the trouble you stirred up; it’s better for one of us to escape than for both of us to be stuck here."

Fearing that Matchmaker Li would change her mind, she mounted her bicycle and left without turning her head back once.

Shen Mianmian’s heart sank, "Whatever it is, we can talk after my exam; you can go to my mom first."

She jerked away, but couldn’t shake off Matchmaker Li, who often did farm work and was just as strong as any man, so she could only watch as Zhou Siyu rode away.

"You gossiped and now you want me to find your mom? You’re not leaving today until you give me an explanation," Matchmaker Li said.

"What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Why are you spreading rumors about me? Did I offend you or something?" Matchmaker Li’s expression was fierce, but inside she was impressed by Shen Mianmian. The little girl might be tiny, but she had guts.

In the past, those who quarreled with her, if they were a bit timid, would have already been crying by now.

Shen Mianmian, on the other hand, was still daring to talk back, no wonder she was brave enough to speak ill of her behind her back.

If the Xu Family really ended up with a daughter-in-law like her, Mother Xu would finally meet her match.

"Do you not know what kind of people the Xu Family are? Do they need someone to spread rumors about them?" At this point, backing down was useless; Matchmaker Li was famously more easily bullied by the weak than the strong.

In the ten-mile radius where people knew Matchmaker Li, almost everyone was aware that the more someone could be bullied, the more ruthlessly Matchmaker Li would bully them.

"You spread rumors and now you’re right?" Matchmaker Li jabbed Shen Mianmian’s forehead hard.

"So, what do you want to do about it?"

As Shen Mianmian spoke, her gaze was continuously searching the surroundings, hoping to find a passerby to help.
