20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3743 Xiang Yong's Thoughts

As the girl shouted, "My brother isn't that kind of person," everyone present basically concluded that Zhao Chang'an had probably guessed correctly.

Lin Xiaojie specially wore a bright red cheongsam and went to great lengths to bring a group of people to her house to witness the dance.

Zhao Chang'an caught her legs with lightning speed; otherwise, she would have fallen like a flower, crashing hard onto the roof of that house, possibly smashing a huge hole in the thin slab roof, splattering blood all over the roof and the house.

This contains the fierce determination of "I'd rather die than be a ghost in your family," and also the immense hatred for this family that led to such a ruthless act.

Furthermore, the girl mentioned that she has an older brother, and that her brother isn't that kind of person, which means she also knows that Lin Xiaojie and her brother are in a romantic relationship.

Seeing the girl glaring at him and yelling, Zhao Chang'an felt he had achieved his goal.

He wasn't a saint, pitying the whole world. When the eagle wanted to eat the pigeon, he cut off his own flesh to save the pigeon.

Today, Lin Xiaojie could be said to be determined to take revenge and die, but she also had the idea of ​​dragging the innocent Zhao Chang'an into the mess to clean up the mess; to put it bluntly, she wanted to use him as a pawn.

If Lin Xiaojie were to die, Zhao Chang'an wouldn't hold a grudge against a dead person. Out of humanitarianism, compassion, and to quell some unwarranted disputes, he would give Lin Xiaojie's parents a sum of money, ranging from a few hundred thousand to two or three hundred thousand.

She felt satisfied, having taken revenge in such a foolish way, and brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to her family, but she had ruined Zhao Chang'an and Qiaojiashan Town.

Wu Yudong, Qiao Zhanhai, and Xiang Juan might even shamelessly believe that it would be perfectly reasonable and humane for Zhao Chang'an to take back the subsidies for the teachers in the five southern townships of Pengzhou.

Zhao Chang'an certainly couldn't argue with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl; he simply stated what he had 'guessed as fact,' and in fact, combining his guesses, it turned out to be the truth.

Xiang Yong whispered to Zhao Chang'an, "Actually, this is just your own guess, Mr. Zhao. Besides, a gentleman doesn't expose other people's shortcomings. She was crying so sadly, why do you have to make such unfounded guesses and add fuel to the fire with such a loud voice?"

"She's already jumped, and you still say 'don't expose her weaknesses'! She jumped to end it all cleanly, but she's ruined us all. Of course, you, Xiang Yong, are chivalrous and can't bear to see a beautiful woman cry. But what did Zhao Chang'an do to deserve this? He brought tens of millions to donate and give away to the students in Qiaojiashan Township and the teachers in the five southern townships. She only cares about herself. Did she ever think about the students who need scholarships to go to school? Did she ever think about the teachers who hope to receive that 300 yuan monthly subsidy? Isn't she too selfish?"

After Qiao Yan figured out what had happened, she immediately lost her temper and launched into a tirade against Xiang Yong, leaving him red-faced and embarrassed, saying, "I meant well."

"Don't be so kind. When I see those beggars who usually come to the hotel to beg, you yell at them and tell them to get lost. When I ask the staff to pack up some leftovers for them, you say that it will make the hotel look unclean to the guests, and that they are on the same level as these beggars. These beggars have hands and feet, why don't they work to earn a living? And now you suddenly become kind. I really don't know where your logic comes from?"

Qiao Yan said with a sneer, "You just think Teacher Lin is pretty. You weren't driving properly in the car just now, and you kept peeking back at her. Do you think I'm blind?"

This revelation left Qi Xuan'er, Ye Yiyi, Fan Chufei, and Wang Yu speechless, their pretty faces flushed as they desperately tried to suppress their laughter.

"Alright, Qiao Yan, stop framing Xiang Yong. Of course he has to check his rearview mirror while driving. There are many forks and curves on the mountain road, so he has to be careful to see if the cars behind him are following."

Zhao Chang'an glanced at Qiao Yan, gesturing to her with his eyes, "This is a public place, so please save face for your man. Just let things be; there's no need to make him feel so ashamed and humiliated."

Given Qiao Yan's personality, she wouldn't have let it go so easily. However, after meeting Zhao Chang'an's eyes, she glared back at him angrily, saying, "Don't you know I'm standing up for you?" Zhao Chang'an smiled at her, meaning, "I know."

For some reason, Qiao Yan felt a slight flutter in her heart and obediently shut her mouth.

Hearing Zhao Chang'an's explanation, Qiao Yan stopped arguing. Qi Xuan'er and the others realized they had misunderstood Xiang Yong. Thinking about it, it made sense; his wife was sitting in the car, holding their one-year-old daughter. How could a husband be such a beast, thinking about another woman while in the car? "Sister Xiaojie, it's not like that! Tell me, it's not like that, Sister Xiaojie!"

The girl, her face streaked with tears, was in the car, clutching Lin Xiaojie's arm, who still had her eyes closed and was silently weeping, and crying as she asked.

However, Lin Xiaojie remained unmoved, like a puppet.

"We've seen the scenery, satisfied our curiosity, and revealed the truth. I'll take this girl home. You two can continue gossiping and enjoying the scenery."

Zhao Chang'an said to Xiang Yong, "Car keys."

Although the hotel owner is no longer a math teacher, he still has a rigorous way of thinking. When he got out of the car, he took the car key out of the car, just in case Lin Xiaojie, who was sitting alone in the car, might do something extreme again.

"you've been drinking."

Xiang Yong didn't actually want Zhao Chang'an to take him home, but he couldn't openly state his reasons. He actually wanted to take the girl home and, at the same time, persuade the poor, kind-hearted Teacher Lin along the way.

Tell her not to assume that there are no good men in the world who truly appreciate her just because she met a heartless man like Chen Shimei. That man's failure to cherish her was his own foolishness. "A good girl like you, Teacher Lin, has countless outstanding young men who dream of you day and night, losing their appetite!"

"Be brave and face it, unafraid of those petty people's gossip, slander, and defamation. Live your own life, live a wonderful life! I will definitely support you. Although I'm only considered moderately successful, if you need any help, Xiaojie, just ask. No matter when, where, or what you need, I, your brother Yong, will never hesitate!"

Just thinking about it made Xiang Yong's blood boil, and he couldn't wait for Lin Xiaojie to lie in his arms with tears streaming down her face and cry to him.

However, this Zhao Chang'an is really ridiculous. Just looking at him makes me feel extremely disgusted and loathed, like seeing my own tigress, my she-devil.

"I didn't drink much, and I'm already sober."

Zhao Chang'an smiled and looked at Xiang Yong, his outstretched hand not retracting, waiting for him to take out his car keys.

"Should I join in and offer some advice?"

Qiao Yan meant well, fearing that if something happened along the way, Zhao Chang'an wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"You're carrying a child, and this mountain road is winding and turning."

Zhao Chang'an understood Qiao Yan's meaning, but considering that she was holding a child, it was indeed a bit difficult for her.

"It's alright, she just finished eating. Xiang Yong can carry her here, it won't take long to go back and forth."

Qiao Yan was genuinely worried about Zhao Chang'an.
