Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Confession Rejected Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Confession Rejected There was no moon tonight, and it looked like rain was on the way. Luo Qiao arrived with more than twenty minutes to spare before the agreed ti. By the ti she had the goods ready, she could already hear the sound of a car.
After welcoming the visitor and settling the bill, the driver, on his way back to carry the last of the goods, handed Luo Qiao a bag of sothing.
Luo Qiao asked, “What’s this?”
The driver replied, “We brought back so fruit from down south on this trip, and I grabbed a couple for you. Don’t think it’s too little, just taste it.”
Luo Qiao laughed and said, “Then I won’t be polite, thank you.”
The driver chuckled and said, “No need to thank , we never eat less of your fish, haha.”
After sending the visitor away, Luo Qiao stored the items in her space and then headed towards the village.
She had just co up the small path and was about to head towards her ho when she heard voices at the front door of Lu Yichen’s house.
Soone was visiting so late, and fearing it was the Sun Family causing trouble again, she took a few steps in that direction. Once she could hear the conversation clearly, she stopped, not wanting to be caught like the last ti.
She heard Lu Yichen say, “I have nothing to say to you. You’re not afraid of gossip at this late hour, but I don’t want to lose face. Leave at once.”
Then another voice ca through, “Lu Yichen, don’t scorn my kindness. It’s good that you have a job, but don’t forget that you’re disabled. It’s your good fortune that I fancy you.”
Lu Yichen snorted coldly, “That’s a fortune I can’t afford. For the last ti, if you dare co to my house and harass again, don’t bla for being rude. Go ahead, try if you don’t believe.”
Luo Qiao, upon hearing this, recognized the other woman’s voice—wasn’t it Gao Taohua’s?
Thinking to herself that this woman was really persistent, Luo Qiao had just finished her thought when she heard Gao Taohua crying out, “Yichen, I truly fancy you. My mom has already arranged a match for .
But I like you, and if the bride price you offer is higher than the one set by the arranged match, my mom definitely won’t object. I’m begging you, I don’t want to marry that man. Won’t you do a good deed and save ?”
Lu Yichen said, “Take your hands off or I won’t be responsible for hurting you. I’ve never seen a woman as shaless as you, harassing soone repeatedly in the middle of the night.”
Seeing that Lu Yichen flatly refused, Gao Taohua tried to pull on the hand Lu Yichen was using to push the door. Instead, Lu Yichen pulled the door wider and kicked her to the ground with a cold command, “Get lost.”
After saying that, he closed the door firmly. Gao Taohua, seeing no room for negotiation with Lu Yichen, stood up in a huff. If it weren’t for Lu Yichen’s handso looks and his decent job,
who would fancy a cripple? She wanted to curse out loud but feared being discovered. If soone found out, she might not be able to clear her na.
Fuming, Gao Taohua groped her way back in the dark. She had no other options—the family her parents had chosen for her, she simply couldn’t accept. The family was average, and he was the youngest son.
She had secretly inquired and found out that he earned as little as the won, and skipped work all the ti. His family wanted a capable daughter-in-law, hence the higher bride price.
Unfortunately, her mother was greedy for money and had settled on this match. The man had co to see her once, and frankly, he wasn’t impressive at all. Today’s visit was her last attempt,
since there were not many families that could offer a higher bride price than that one. It seed that only Lu Yichen could in the village, but to her frustration, she was kicked out before even entering the door. It was infuriating.
