Li Xiangxiang looked stunned.

Wen Li gripped her hand tightly, her face filled with anxiety. She knew that Li Xiangxiang might not be able to accept this reality.

"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang? What's wrong?"

An anxious voice entered her mind, and Li Xiangxiang mechanically rolled her eyes.

"Chen Yan, what was Xiao Li saying just now?"

Chen Yan met Li Xiangxiang's blank stare, as if she were about to collapse at any moment.

"Xiangxiang, don't scare me!"

Li Xiangxiang felt as if her soul had been torn in two, one half telling her that Wen Li was lying, and the other half telling her that Wen Li wouldn't lie to her.

The person she liked was a devil in human skin.

But how could that be? Meng Zhou was so good to me.

Li Xiangxiang struggled to regain her composure. "Really...really? Could he have been framed?"

Wen Li shook her head and said decisively:

"This was witnessed by someone. I can't tell you who that person is right now, but I absolutely won't wrongly accuse him!"

Lu Zechuan was worried that Meng Zhou and Li Lingling were involved, so in order to protect Guo Caixia's life, he could not reveal that she was the eyewitness for the time being.

Li Xiangxiang is now too heartbroken to even cry. She doesn't know whether to be grateful for her good fortune or saddened that she encountered such a scumbag.

Chen Yan hugged Li Xiangxiang and gently comforted her, "It's okay to cry if you're sad! But you can't stay sad for someone like that. Your parents are very worried about you, and we'll always be there for you!"

"Waaaaah~" Li Xiangxiang burst into tears again, "I'm so sorry to my parents. They clearly didn't want us to be together. I was just delusional, thinking I'd met the right person, but it turned out I met a scumbag!"

Li Xiangxiang was still crying when Wen Li saw the brigade leader and his wife hiding by the door, secretly wiping away their tears.

The captain was worried about Li Xiangxiang, so he returned after arranging her work. Hearing his daughter's heart-wrenching cries, the elderly couple were so distressed that they kept wiping away tears.

Chen Yan hugged her and gently patted her back.

"Sweetie! Don't cry. Let's look on the bright side. Luckily, we found out his true colors beforehand. Otherwise, if you had married him, you and your parents and relatives would have been in danger!"

Thinking of that possibility, Li Xiangxiang cried even harder, "Waaah, is that how you comfort someone?"

"Haha~ Sorry, I'm not very good at comforting people!" Chen Yan looked at Wen Li awkwardly, "Xiao Li, why don't you comfort Xiang Xiang!"

Wen Li wanted to say that she wasn't good at comforting people, but seeing Li Xiangxiang crying so hard, she forced herself to say:

"Xiangxiang, Chen Yan's words, though rough, make a valid point. You should try to think more positively. I don't think he's truly sincere with you. The sooner you discover his true colors, the sooner you can find someone else!"

"Waaah~" Li Xiangxiang felt even sadder. She felt like she had given her heart to a dog!

Chen Yan: "You didn't let her off the hook either!"

Wen Li awkwardly withdrew her hand. She knew she wasn't good at comforting people!

After Li Xiangxiang had a good cry, she felt much better. Although Chen Yan and Wen Li's words were a bit harsh, they were all true.

Although she was still a little sad for a while, when she thought about what kind of person Meng Zhou was, fear instantly replaced affection, and thinking positively made her feel less sad.

After seeing that Li Xiangxiang had come to her senses, the two left the room.

The brigade leader, his face full of worry, said, "Wen and Chen, thank you for today!"

"Captain, don't be so polite with us. We're Xiangxiang's friends; it's only right that we do this!"

Aunt Lin brought out two bunches of grapes for the two young men, saying, "Wen and Chen, I was rude just now, please don't hold it against me!"

Wen Li waved her hand, "It's alright, Aunt Lin. You can keep the grapes for Xiangxiang to help her recover. We'll head back now!"

"Hey! Bring the grapes over here!"

"No need, Aunt Lin!" Chen Yan grabbed Wen Li and ran off.

Once they left the brigade leader's house, the villagers all turned their heads away, pretending not to see them.

Only Aunt Zhang greeted us warmly.

"Wen and Chen, my family is having a wedding banquet tomorrow. Remember to come and join us!"

Wen Li then remembered that Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Xiaohua hadn't held their wedding banquet yet!

"Okay, we'll definitely come then!"

Back at the educated youth compound, Wen Li saw Jiang Yue'er standing at the door, holding her pregnant belly and looking around.

"What's she doing there on such a hot day?" Chen Yan also saw Jiang Yue'er.

Wen Li turned around and planned to go back through the back door. After all, Jiang Yue'er was pregnant, and Wen Li didn't want to be mistreated or have a conflict with a pregnant woman, so it was better to stay away.

When the two arrived at the back door, Jiang Yue'er was already waiting there.

Well! Looks like they're after me!

Chen Yan, always eager for drama, remarked, "Looks like she's determined to find you!"

You can't hide forever, so Wen Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and head towards the back door.

She originally wanted to pretend she didn't see Jiang Yue'er, but Jiang Yue'er blocked their way.

"Wen Li, are you avoiding me?"

Wen Li was speechless. Wasn't it obvious?

"A good dog doesn't block the way!"

"You..." Jiang Yue'er took a deep breath, suppressing her dissatisfaction. "I need to talk to you!"

"We're not close, if you need anything, find someone else!"

Just as Wen Li was about to walk around her, Jiang Yue'er raised her hand to block her way.

Wen Li had no choice but to stop, her face full of impatience. "What exactly do you want?"

Seeing Wen Li's discomfiture, Jiang Yue'er's eyes flashed with smugness. "Why was Meng Zhou arrested?"

Wen Li didn't miss the smug look on her face, and she was so angry that she wanted to bite her. Jiang Yue'er was only able to control her because she was pregnant. Otherwise, she would have really wanted to slap that smug face.

"have no idea!"

"How could you not know? You must know something. Last night, you were all up talking over there in the middle of the night. You're the ones who got Meng Zhou in there, aren't you?!"

Wen Li was glad that Xu Yuan had been guarding the door last night, otherwise Jiang Yue'er might have overheard something.

"What we said is none of your business. Besides, didn't you hear what Officer Wang said? Meng Zhou committed the crime himself; what does it have to do with us?"

"Are you and Meng Zhou very close? You care about him so much, does your man know?"

"I..." Before Jiang Yue'er could say anything, Jiang Chen's cold voice rang out from behind.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Yue'er could tell from the gloating in Wen Li's eyes that Wen Li had been deliberately trying to sow discord between her and Jiang Chen.

"Ah Chen, when did you get back?"

Jiang Chen didn't answer Jiang Yue'er's question, and strode towards the house with a dark face.

Jiang Yue'er had no time to bother Wen Li and quickly chased after Jiang Chen to coax him.

Chen Yan clicked her tongue in amazement, "How come Jiang Yue'er has changed so much after getting married? I never noticed before that she was so obsessed with Jiang Chen?"

Wen Li said she didn't understand either, because in the book, Jiang Yue'er was always in a superior position, and there were many fish in the fishpond.

Jiang Chen only had three words for her: Spoil her, spoil her, spoil her!

Various forms of competition between males and females are endless, making every day a battleground.

There aren't many chaotic scenes to be seen now, and Jiang Yue'er is actually in a subordinate position.
