Chapter 447 - 446: Is he a fool?!

Chapter 447: Chapter 446: Is he a fool?!

Lin Xia was in the clothing store, humming a tune and checking today’s orders, planning the delivery routes.

Suddenly, she heard the loud shouts of Neighbor Wu from next door, which alarmed her, so she hurried over to the Wu Family’s house.

In the courtyard, she saw not only Lin Qiu confronting Neighbor Wu but also Wu Zhengyang standing with a girl whose face was peppered with freckles.

Wu Zhenghong had come out before Lin Xia, recognizing the girl who had once visited her salon for a haircut, accompanied by Lin Xia’s stepmother’s daughter.

Therefore, she deduced who this person was—it was Miao Xue, the girl who had been chasing after her brother relentlessly.

Because her brother was dating Lin Qiu, her family’s Liang Cheng had been tricked into spilling the beans at work, which even led to officials from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce visiting Lin Qiu’s clothing store.

Lin Xia ran to Lin Qiu’s side and glared fiercely at Wu Zhengyang and the other woman, "What’s going on?"

Lin Qiu’s eyes were red and tearful as she cried out, "Sister..."

She was truly heartbroken, having come over to Wu Zhengyang’s place to see what he was really up to, only to find Neighbor Wu’s eyes darting around and stubbornly blocking her from entering the house.

Feeling that something was off, she insisted on going in no matter what.

Afterward, Wu Zhengyang came out of the house with a woman, and by their looks, Lin Qiu could tell that the two of them were definitely up to something!

Lin Xia grabbed Lin Qiu’s hand to comfort her, "It’s okay! I’m here for you!" Whatever the problem, she wouldn’t let her sister be treated unfairly.

Lin Xia coldly questioned Wu Zhengyang, "Wu Zhengyang! Who is this woman? What’s your relationship with her?"

Seeing her here now, with such a look of deep and reliant affection, they must be more than just acquaintances!

Miao Xue hadn’t expected things to turn out like this, with Lin Qiu’s sudden arrival throwing her plans into disarray.

But instead of delaying, it might be better to settle things today.

With this thought, she silently dabbed at her eyes, putting on a façade of grief and aggrievement.

Wu Zhengyang glanced at her with a mixture of disgust and helplessness in his heart, yet this was the mess he had created, and it had to be addressed without delay!

Wu Zhengyang looked at Lin Qiu’s sorrowful face and opened his mouth to speak, only to be preempted by Neighbor Wu who interjected, "Lin Xia! You all are misunderstanding! She’s his coworker! Let’s go inside and talk about this, shall we?"

Neighbor Wu had shouted earlier to stop her son from breaking the news about the breakup!

They couldn’t break up so hastily; they needed to carefully consider everything to minimize the losses!

During their engagement, his family had bought Lin Qiu a ring of over six grams of gold and had given five hundred yuan in cash.

If the fault was on their side, could they expect the items and money to be returned?

Moreover, if this scene unfolded in the courtyard and the neighbors overheard, wouldn’t they gossip about the Wu Family behind their backs?

So, in the span of a few seconds, several thoughts raced through Neighbor Wu’s mind, prompting her to say what she said.

Lin Xia saw through the charade, and her words grew harsher, "What’s there to talk about inside? What can’t be seen? Let’s just talk here! A coworker? What name does she go by?"

Her gaze hardened, "It wouldn’t be Miao Xue, would it?"

"Is it her?" Lin Qiu looked at Wu Zhengyang, seeking an answer, wanting to hear his explanation.

"Yes!" Wu Zhengyang looked at Lin Qiu, his eyes filled with pain, as he spoke with difficulty, "Xiaoqiu! I’m sorry! Let’s break up!"

Having committed such a mistake, he couldn’t dare to ask for Lin Qiu’s forgiveness.

Perhaps breaking up was for the best for her!

Otherwise, given Miao Xue’s temperament, she might do something to harm Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu had always been gentle and kind in his eyes; how could she ever outmaneuver Miao Xue.

Neighbor Wu shouted angrily, "Young man, what are you saying!" Even if it was a breakup, now was not the time!

Wu Zhenghong was confused and unaware of what had happened for things to have escalated so quickly.

"Mom! Don’t interfere!" Wu Zhengyang didn’t want to lie to Lin Qiu anymore.

Although Lin Qiu had a premonition, when Wu Zhengyang actually uttered the words, her heart was still torn apart, "Why?" she pointed at Miao Xue and demanded, "Is it because of her?"

They had always been so affectionate towards each other, rarely even quarreling or being petty, so how could they suddenly be breaking up?

Other than the weeping Miao Xue standing by his side, she could think of no other reason!

A few neighbors from nearby crowded into the yard, all very curious about the events unfolding in the Wu Family’s courtyard.

They whispered among themselves, speculating about the relationship between Miao Xue and Wu Zhengyang.

Wu Zhengyang could not bring himself to confess his wrongdoing in front of so many people and simply kept repeating the same phrase, "In any case, I owe you an apology!"

Lin Qiu shed tears of heartbreak, she understood what was happening now. Wu Zhengyang must have done something with Miao Xue, but she couldn’t just walk away nonchalantly.

She had feelings for Wu Zhengyang and they had been together for more than just a day or two.

For them to break up so suddenly when they were already engaged, she really couldn’t accept it all at once.

Lin Xia cursed furiously, "Wu Zhengyang, you really have no shame! You keep apologizing to my sister and then you say break up? Why the hell?

If it’s a breakup or calling off the engagement, it should be my sister who proposes it! She is the one who doesn’t want you anymore! She doesn’t want a cheating scumbag like you!"

She had always thought that Wu Zhengyang was quite a decent young man, but it was all a facade.

When Wu Mama heard Lin Xia’s harsh words, she unhappily retorted, "Lin Xia! What kind of language is that! My son doesn’t want to be with your sister anymore, is that not allowed?" Since the words had already been said, there was no turning back, and she didn’t want to seem weak in this confrontation.

Lin Xia felt that even if they broke up, everyone should clearly see what was actually going on, and she was truly enraged, her words growing sharper:

"Human speech! Your son hasn’t been doing things a decent person should do! And we can’t even say something unpleasant to vent our anger?

He keeps apologizing, he must have done something to owe my sister an apology, otherwise, is he an idiot to keep apologizing?"

She actually had her reservations about Wu Zhengyang’s family members since the engagement.

She kept feeling uneasy, worrying about her sister being schemed against and tormented by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law after the marriage.

Miao Xue, who worked at the same place as Wu Zhengyang, had also been a subject of concern.

Afterwards, as Wu Zhengyang and Lin Qiu got along well, she couldn’t possibly act to break them apart.

But today it was glaringly obvious that there was something between Wu Zhengyang and Miao Xue, and he had wronged her sister!

The neighbors whispered among themselves, feeling that Lin Xia had a point; it must be that the Wu Family’s son had done something wrong.

Wu Zhengyang remained silent, listening to Lin Xia curse him, without uttering a word.

He felt she was right to curse! Right to scold!

In fact, he wished even more to hear Lin Qiu scold him! He truly was not a decent person; he was a complete idiot!

Miao Xue couldn’t stand someone cursing Wu Zhengyang, especially knowing who the woman was.

"Why are you cursing? If Wu Zhengyang doesn’t like her and wants to break up, what’s wrong with that..."

Before Lin Xia could retort, Wu Zhengyang lashed out, "Miao Xue! Shut your mouth!"

How could he possibly break up with Lin Qiu because he didn’t like her!

Miao Xue, startled by his furious appearance with bulging veins, immediately quieted down and didn’t dare make another peep.

Wu Mama knew in her heart that her son had indeed done something wrong, but being so harshly ridiculed by the sharp-tongued Lin Xia in front of the neighbors, she simply couldn’t stand it.

"Lin Xia! You should watch your mouth!"

Lin Xia sneered coldly, "How am I not ’watching my mouth’? I have even worse things I haven’t said yet!"

Lin Qiu had seen everything, and at that moment, she wiped her tears and tugged at Lin Xia’s hand.

She couldn’t let her sister stand in front of her anymore, this was her issue, and she had to learn to face it bravely!

"Wu Zhengyang! I know you must have done something to betray me! That’s why you keep apologizing to me! You make me feel utterly disgusted!

We are breaking up right now! The engagement is canceled! From now on, we’re strangers, until death!"
