Chapter 818 - 814: Crazy

Leng Qingtian glanced at Sun Yeshu. "Are you crazy? Those are Leng Yuan’s things. How do you know he’s not coming back?" Remembering that this wasn’t the first time she had whispered such things to him, he suddenly blurted out, "You didn’t have anything to do with this incident, did you?"

Sun Yeshu’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly retorted, "What nonsense are you sprouting? I barely know Gu Jiaojiao. How would I know whether she has a fiancé in Jiang City or not? How could it possibly be me?"

Leng Qingtian eyed her suspiciously. Seeing her glaring right back at him, he softened his tone. "It’s good that it wasn’t you. Let me tell you, nothing will happen to Leng Yuan." Saying this, he splashed the water he had used to wash his hands into the courtyard and headed inside to eat.

Sun Yeshu grabbed him, her voice tinged with urgency. "How do you know he’ll be fine? Gu Jiaojiao had a prior engagement but still married Leng Yuan. He won’t be able to escape the fallout."

Leng Qingtian grew impatient. "Are you stupid? Leng Yuan has a very powerful uncle. A trivial matter like this can be resolved with just one word from him. Besides, Leng Yuan is obviously just caught in the crossfire. Who knows, maybe Gu Jiaojiao deliberately hid it from him."

In the past, he had lusted after Gu Jiaojiao, but it was a pity she never even spared him a glance. Later, after being taught a lesson by Leng Yuan a few times, he grew afraid of the man and gave up on the idea altogether. Now that he was married, he just wanted to live a peaceful life. He had no other ambitions. He didn’t want to provoke Leng Yuan, nor did he want to get involved in his affairs.

"Leng Yuan is not like us. Don’t provoke them, otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you," Leng Qingtian said, giving a stern warning. Fearing that Sun Yeshu would actually try to seize Leng Yuan’s house, he drove the point home before turning into the kitchen to grab bowls and chopsticks.

Sun Yeshu’s burning schemes were instantly extinguished by his cold words. She had completely forgotten that Leng Yuan had a capable uncle. In that case, wouldn’t the things she did be found out? Panic instantly gripped her.

Clutching her chest, she realized she had been living in constant fear for the four days Gu Jiaojiao was detained. Gu Jiaojiao was practically her nemesis.

In stark contrast to Sun Yeshu’s anxiety, Xu Wenwan was so thrilled upon receiving news of Leng Yuan coming to the County Town that she felt she could fly.

"System, this time I will definitely be able to absorb Leng Yuan’s luck. Just you wait and see!" she said.

The system was equally excited. "As long as you get Leng Yuan’s luck, this book will return to its correct trajectory. Everything you lost will come back, and you can deal with anyone you dislike however you please..."

The system rambled on with a bunch of fabricated promises, but its most important point was clear. "Once this book returns to normal, your most hated enemy, Gu Jiaojiao, will follow the novel’s original plotline. She will be abandoned by everyone and die a miserable death right here."

A look of absolute determination flashed through Xu Wenwan’s eyes. "Don’t worry! I’ll definitely secure Leng Yuan’s luck this time."

By the time the local thug arrived to inform Xu Wenwan, it was already getting late. Just as she was about to head out, An Dongyang happened to return.

Unfortunately for An Dongyang, he had originally intended to go gambling. He had coaxed some more money out of Mrs. An over the past two days, and spurred on by a friend, he wanted to test his luck. However, right after stepping out of the restaurant, someone tripped him, sending him sprawling to the ground. As luck would have it, there was a puddle on the dirt path. He landed right in the mud, instantly turning into a filthy mess.

Seeing An Dongyang covered head to toe in mud, Xu Wenwan’s first instinct was to take two steps back. Once she recovered her wits, she quickly hurried forward, her face full of concern. "Dongyang, what happened to you? How did you fall and end up like this?"

An Dongyang cursed and swore as he recounted what had happened. Xu Wenwan had originally planned to go out, but now, she was stuck at home.
