Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 446 - 445: Sorry!

Chapter 446: Chapter 445: Sorry!

Wu Zhengyang struggled to recollect the events, desperately wanting to find evidence to prove he hadn’t done anything and that it was all a misunderstanding!

But, unfortunately, things didn’t go as he wished.

The more he recalled, the clearer he remembered many details.

And then, when he woke up, the image of Miao Xue lying beside him...

After such an incident, how was he going to face Lin Qiu!

And her reputation, a young woman’s reputation, was ruined by him! She would not let it go easily!

Wu Zhengyang, in agony, almost wished to kill himself. At this moment of deep quiet at night, he silently started crying, biting his lips.

He knew he liked Lin Qiu, and he really wanted to marry her, to live a good life with her!

But could they still have a future?

Wu Zhengyang didn’t sleep at all that night and looked exceptionally haggard the next day.

He didn’t want to go to work today, just wanted to stay at home and think about what to do.

However, Miao Xue suddenly came to his house.

When she arrived, Madam Wu was wiping a cabinet. Seeing the girl with reddened eyes entering the house, she was startled, "Miss! Whom are you looking for?"

"Madam! Is Wu Zhengyang at home?" Miao Xue didn’t see Wu Zhengyang at work and decided to visit his house.

Some things, since they had happened, there was no need to delay anymore.

She had already given herself to him according to plan, so his relationship had to end immediately!

"He is at home!" Madam Wu put down the cloth, scrutinizing Miao Xue and asked kindly, "What do you need him for?"

Miao Xue pursed her lips, hesitant to speak.

At this moment, Wu Zhengyang came out from the Western House, "Come in and talk!"

His face was dark and conflicted, and his voice was hoarse, showing how tough his night had been.

"Okay!" Miao Xue slightly bowed her head to hide the triumph in her eyes, entering the house with a look of grievance.

Madam Wu watched the closing door, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

She knew something was wrong with her son coming home so late last night, and today, not only did he not get up, but he didn’t eat either.

What was going on between him and this girl who came to their house?

She tiptoed to the door, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

In the room, Wu Zhengyang pulled out a chair for Miao Xue to sit on.

Miao Xue smoothed her skirt and slowly sat down, but she let out a hiss.

Wu Zhengyang guessed the reason, his heart sinking further, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine!" Miao Xue said she was fine, but her brows furrowed slightly as she adjusted her sitting position.

It wasn’t that she was faking it; she was genuinely in pain.

Because she had secretly used some medicine on Wu Zhengyang.

"I’m sorry, Miao Xue!" Wu Zhengyang didn’t even know what to say at this moment.

His mind was in complete chaos, he hadn’t gone to work today because he wanted to think about how to deal with the situation.

But Miao Xue didn’t even give him that time and had come straight to his house.

Miao Xue’s tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. She wiped them with the back of her hand, "Wu Zhengyang, don’t say you’re sorry! I am at fault too! I shouldn’t have drunk so much because Zhou Peng and the others were egging me on!"

"If I hadn’t been drunk, I still would have had the strength..."

Wu Zhengyang painfully grabbed his own hair, "Miao Xue, stop talking! I will take responsibility!"

He wasn’t the kind of man who would deny his actions after the fact, and besides, he couldn’t deny this.

But the thought of breaking up with Lin Qiu and spending his life with someone he didn’t like filled his heart with despair.

Miao Xue was delighted inside. She had thought Wu Zhengyang wouldn’t agree so easily!

He was indeed the man she loved, a man of responsibility!

No matter what she thought inside, her expression showed distress, "Wu Zhengyang! But you’re already engaged! How can you take responsibility for me?

"I don’t want you to feel indebted to me because of this, that’s why I will..."

"I came to see you today not to make you take responsibility. I was just worried about you when I saw you didn’t come to work, fearing something might have happened to you last night coming home so late..."

Wu Zhengyang said with a heartache, "I will talk to her!"

Mrs. Wu, standing outside, was stunned. She understood what was happening.

But, the children in her family had always been honest and upright. How could they force a young girl into anything?

She wanted to storm in and confront them but then, thinking it through, she withdrew her hand. The Lin Qiu’s family was next door; causing a scene would only make things worse.

But when she thought about her child truly breaking up with Lin Qiu, not only would her family miss out on bringing some honor home, but how would they face the neighbors coming in and out in the future...

Lin Qiu, unaware of any of this, had not seen Wu Zhengyang yesterday afternoon or evening and found it peculiar.

Ever since they started dating and considering how close the two families lived, they wished to meet many times in a day.

This morning, she hadn’t seen Wu Zhengyang at work either, and she silently wondered if he hadn’t come home yesterday or was ill.

Lin Xia had just bid farewell to a delivery person when she saw her sister sitting in front of the sewing machine, lost in thought.

A sly look crossed Lin Xia’s eyes. She intentionally tiptoed to Lin Qiu and tapped her on the back, whispering, "Hey! What are you thinking about!"

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes at Lin Xia, "Sis! You are just like Dongzi!"

"I am not like him at all. That stinker, seeing you daydream like this, he would definitely yell in your ear!" Lin Xia said, her mood very good as she glanced at the money in her waist bag.

Lin Qiu worked the pedal, sewing and speaking simultaneously, "That’s true! It’s a good thing he went to school!"

Lin Xia, watching her sister sewing, teased her, "Hey, Xiaoqiu! Are you into something troublesome?"

Lin Qiu told Lin Xia the truth, "Sis! I am just wondering what Wu Zhengyang is up to. I haven’t seen him since yesterday!"

"Then you should go ask at his house. Ask Sister Hong!" Lin Xia casually spoke.

"Okay! I’ll go ask!" Lin Qiu’s face brightened with a smile. She put down her work and got up heading to the neighboring hair salon.

In the hair salon, Wu Zhenghong was giving a woman a perm. The place reeked of chemicals. Lin Qiu, standing at the doorway, covered her nose and asked, "Sister Hong! Is Wu Zhengyang at home?"

Wu Zhenghong was busy with her work, completely unaware of what was happening in the back of the house. Without pausing her actions, she smiled at Lin Qiu, "Yes! He didn’t go to work today!"

"Okay! Then I’ll go find him!" Lin Qiu entered the Wu Family’s courtyard.

Mrs. Wu saw Lin Qiu entering the courtyard and became flustered. Stepping out of the room directly, she was filled with confusion and anxiety, not knowing how to smooth things over properly.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly stepped forward to block Lin Qiu in the middle of the courtyard. With a forced smile on her face and a loud voice, she announced, "Lin Qiu has arrived!"

"Mrs. Wu! I’m here to find Wu Zhengyang!" While speaking, Lin Qiu craned her neck to peek towards the Western House where Wu Zhengyang lived.
