Chapter 68
“Stop slandering me, what did I do?”
Qiu Chi glanced at the stunned Zhang Guzi standing there before saying, “It seems you really don’t take Zhang Guzi seriously. Since you want to hear it, I don’t mind telling you.”
Then, under Wang Fang’s shocked and horrified gaze, Qiu Chi clearly recounted her disgraceful secrets, one by one.
“So? Did you hear that clearly? Or do you want to deny it and keep saying I’m slandering you? We can also go find those people and have them confront you. What do you think?”
Wang Fang opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word. Her face was pale, and her gaze towards Qiu Chi held a trace of fear and a fair amount of resentment.
But with Qiu Chi holding so much leverage over her, she couldn’t do anything. She could only cover her face and run away crying, just like last time. This was also a good method of escape.
After Wang Fang left, Zhang Guzi also came back to his senses.
He stopped Qiu Chi, who was about to leave, and said, “Erxi, what you just said… is it true?”
“Didn’t you say before that I don’t lie? Why are you asking me if it’s true now?”
After saying that, Qiu Chi slowly walked away.
After this incident, Wang Fang probably wouldn’t dare to be an eyesore in front of her again. She should be able to have a few days of peace.
However, without Wang Fang, there was still Xu Jiangyang.
As for Xu Jiangyang, Qiu Chi really didn’t have any leverage on him, unless you counted the many girls who fawned over him.
However, Xu Jiangyang didn’t keep anyone on the back burner. He rejected every single one of those girls.
Perhaps because of what Qiu Chi had said before, Xu Jiangyang became exceptionally mindful of his own conduct. Then he would come looking for her again, with a good attitude.
At first, Qiu Chi shooed him away a few times, but later she couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.
Of course, the main reason was that she discovered Xu Jiangyang’s cooking skills were quite good.
Old Woman Zhou’s and Mother Zhou’s cooking skills were also quite average, only slightly better than her own at best. Qiu Chi felt she could stomach their food only because she wasn’t picky.
But that didn’t mean she didn’t want to eat something that tasted good.
In order to successfully connect with Qiu Chi, Xu Jiangyang naturally fanned his tail like a peacock, showing off all his good qualities just to get her to notice him.
Naturally, many people witnessed Xu Jiangyang’s behavior. Coupled with the large number of people who had a crush on him, logically, there should have been many who came to cause trouble for Qiu Chi.
But aside from the educated youth who arrived in the same batch as Xu Jiangyang, the other educated youths and the village girls had all witnessed how formidable Qiu Chi was.
None of them could guarantee that Qiu Chi wouldn’t find some leverage on them. So, even if their hearts were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, they could only endure it, silently praying for Qiu Chi to reject Xu Jiangyang and occasionally cursing under their breath.
Then, they discovered that their wishes hadn’t come true in the slightest. On the contrary, Qiu Chi was indulging Xu Jiangyang’s presence around her.
At this, some people could no longer sit still.
However, before anyone could go looking for Qiu Chi, rumors that she and Xu Jiangyang were dating had already spread throughout Qingshan Village.
And the person who spread this rumor was Educated Youth Sun.
After several frustrating years, Educated Youth Sun had always found Qiu Chi disagreeable. But he couldn’t do anything to her; after all, the memory of that beating still made his body ache faintly.
He thought he would have to continue living so frustratingly until Xu Jiangyang’s arrival gave him a glimmer of hope for venting his anger.
Seeing Xu Jiangyang, he felt as if he were seeing himself from a few years ago.
The difference was, he wasn’t as handsome as Xu Jiangyang, and Xu Jiangyang didn’t flirt with several people at once like he did.
But that wasn’t the most important thing.
The most important thing was that he had married Zhang Maizi, and his life was likely set on this path forever. Now that someone who was like him, but even better, had appeared, his dark mentality made him want to trap that person here as well.
Furthermore, Xu Jiangyang’s pursuit of Qiu Chi and her indulgent behavior made Educated Youth Sun believe that Qiu Chi also had feelings for Xu Jiangyang.
He figured that even if the rumor spread, Qiu Chi wouldn’t come after him for it, so he presumptuously and boldly did it.
