Jiang Laosan acted swiftly, and that very night he led a few men to catch Jiang Chen and Bai Wei secretly meeting in the back mountain.

Wen Li didn't know whether to say that the two of them were unlucky or that she was lucky.

She waited for several days, but the two of them didn't make a move. As soon as she told Jiang Laosan, the two of them went out to meet.

However, when Jiang Laosan arrived, the two were only talking and did not engage in any intimate behavior, but their secret meeting in the middle of the night was enough to make people speculate.

Especially considering that Jiang Yue'er was still in the hospital trying to save her pregnancy.

This incident caused quite a stir, and the whole village was alarmed.

When Wen Li and the others from the educated youth compound arrived, Jiang Chen was being pinned to the ground by several men, and he was glaring at Jiang Laosan with resentment.

His eyes looked as if he wanted to devour Jiang Laosan alive.

Bai Wei was stopped by the people Jiang Laosan brought, who wouldn't let her leave.

"Why are you stopping me?" Bai Wei cried as she looked at Jiang Lao Er, who was blocking her way.

Jiang Laosan was not fooled by her pitiful appearance; he was determined to find out the truth today.

"Then tell everyone, why did you secretly meet with Jiang Chen, a married man?"

Jiang Laosan said the words "married man" through gritted teeth, which shows how angry he was.

Bai Wei opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't get a coherent explanation out of her. Especially when she saw the disappointed look in Gu Xiangnan's eyes in the crowd, her mind went blank, and she had no idea how to explain.

"Jiang Chen and I were just discussing some private matters. What right do you have to arrest me?"

Bai Wei kept repeating the same few sentences, and everyone started whispering, wondering if the two of them were having an affair.

[Wasn't Bai Zhiqing and Gu Zhiqing a couple? Why is she flirting with Jiang Chen again?]

[Neither of them is any good. Yue'er is still in the hospital trying to save her pregnancy, and they're out messing around. If you ask me, they should just be paraded through the streets!]

What did you say? Parade us through the streets? What about our village's reputation?!

If there were only two educated youths, it would be fine, as the villagers all treated them as outsiders.

But Jiang Chen is the village chief's son-in-law, which means he represents the face of the entire village.

"Xiang Nan, believe me, I really didn't do anything wrong. Jiang Chen and I just had something to discuss. I'll tell you when I get back, okay?"

Seeing that no one believed Bai Wei's explanation, Bai Wei could only look at Gu Xiangnan with teary eyes, hoping that he could believe her this once.

She used men to provoke Gu Xiangnan before, but that was all manipulation, not genuine. This time, however, she has something truly important to discuss.

Although Gu Xiangnan liked Bai Wei, his trust in her was already precarious, so he just looked at her with a heartbroken expression.

His eyes darted back and forth between Bai Wei and Jiang Chen's faces, but he didn't say a word.

"Xiang Nan, don't you love me anymore?"

【Huh…! Shameless! What kind of talk is that?】

[This so-called "educated youth" is supposed to be an intellectual! To say such shameless things in front of everyone is a complete disgrace to the educated youth community!]

Some people quickly covered the child's ears.

Isn't this setting a bad example for children?

People in this day and age are reserved, and very few people can actually say things like "I love you" or "I don't love you." For a moment, everyone looked at Bai Wei with disdain.

Gu Xiangnan, being both stubborn and concerned with his image, couldn't bear the disdainful looks from everyone.

"Bai Wei, we're finished!"

After saying that, Gu Xiangnan turned and ran away.

His actions were expected, since he always runs away faster than anyone else whenever something happens.

His actions confirmed that Bai Wei and Jiang Chen were having an affair, causing everyone to point and whisper about Bai Wei.

Wen Li thought Bai Wei was blind; how could she have fallen for such an irresponsible man?

If you say he likes Bai Wei, he's the first to back down when faced with a problem; if you say he doesn't like her, he gets driven crazy by Bai Wei and goes on all sorts of madness.

It's safe to say that every pot has its perfect lid; these two are a match made in heaven!

Bai Wei even forgot to cry as she watched Gu Xiangnan's retreating figure.

Jiang Chen finally broke free from Jiang Laosan and got up from the ground.

He dusted himself off before looking at the crowd.

"I've known Bai Zhiqing for a while, and we're meeting today to discuss something!"

His gaze was firm, and he showed no sign of guilt in the face of everyone's scrutinizing eyes, which made everyone believe him to some extent.

When Jiang Laosan caught the two, they were indeed talking, but there was no intimate behavior between them, which increased everyone's trust in them.

"Are you kidding me? If you two knew each other before, why would you have to come to the back mountain in the middle of the night to talk?"

Wen Li gave the warrior a thumbs up. When she turned around, she saw that the person who spoke was Zhang Mazi, which made things even more interesting.

Why did Zhang Mazi suddenly undermine Jiang Chen?

Li Xiangxiang explained in a low voice, "It's still about the house!"

"How so?"

"Guo Caixia paid a year's rent, but she only lived there for a few months. Just as Jiang Yue'er and the others moved in, Zhang Mazi asked Jiang Chen for the rent. In the end, Jiang Yue'er withheld the rent, saying she'd pay Guo Caixia after she finished renovating. Didn't that create a grudge?"

Wen Li nodded knowingly, "I didn't know about this!"

"I just found out about this myself. Zhang Mazi wouldn't dare to cause trouble openly; he's afraid the village chief will make things difficult for him. Look, he's finally got his chance!"

Jiang Chen was so choked by Zhang Mazi that he couldn't catch his breath, his chest heaving. In the end, he just stared at the village chief.

"You really want me to tell you?"

The village chief's heart skipped a beat. He then thought of Jiang Chen's identity. If this were to come to light and the villagers found out that Jiang Chen was the descendant of a capitalist, his family would be finished.

Regardless of the situation, it's best to resolve this matter privately.

So he had no choice but to step forward and explain, "Jiang Chen is right, he and Bai Zhiqing did know each other a long time ago. Everyone, please disperse, it's just a misunderstanding!"

Everyone wanted to continue watching the show, but they couldn't refuse the village chief, so they dispersed.

However, when everyone left, they all said that Jiang Chen and Bai Wei were having an affair, otherwise why would Jiang Chen not even visit Jiang Yue'er when she was hospitalized?

There's definitely something fishy going on here!

Although the murmurs were not loud, they reached the ears of the village chief and the Jiang family.

The village chief's face darkened when he thought about why Jiang Yue'er had fallen.

After everyone else had left, only the village chief's family and Qi Jun, the person in charge of the educated youth compound, remained.

With Qi Jun present, the village chief couldn't say anything, so he could only wave his hand and let Jiang Lao Er let Bai Wei leave.

In the end, only the village chief's family remained at the foot of the mountain.

Ever since Jiang Chen could no longer see any use for Jiang Yue'er, he showed no respect whatsoever to the village chief's family, not even basic respect.

"Can I go back now?"

The village chief nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Yue'er is still in the hospital trying to save her pregnancy, and you haven't even said a word of concern!"

"Isn't she alright?"

Jiang Chen's matter-of-fact tone infuriated the village chief so much that he almost lost his balance.

Jiang Laosan quickly helped the village chief up. Seeing his father so angry, he didn't think twice and punched Jiang Chen in the face.
