Chapter 1061: Chapter 1060: mories of the Past
Chen Yiming is rather petty, so after failing to pursue Zhao Xiaona, he began spreading various negative rumors in the village. Even the story now widely discussed about him returning ho late from Zhao Xiaona’s house was fabricated by Chen Yiming himself, aiming to tarnish her reputation.
However, Chen Yiming never expected that Zhao Xiaona, a widow without a husband, would be able to associate with such influential figures years later.
"Well, I admit I was montarily foolish back then and did things I shouldn’t have, but she refused to stick with
until the end, and I gained nothing," Chen Yiming said, feeling sowhat aggrieved.
"So, you’re admitting that you did sothing inappropriate to Zhao Xiaona back then?" Su Changfeng said coldly, expressionlessly moving toward Chen Yiming.
As Su Changfeng walked toward him, Chen Yiming crawled on the ground, hoping to get further away from him.
"I did have that thought, but I ultimately wasn’t successful, and that’s the honest truth. I haven’t lied about a single word. If you think I’m lying, you can ask Zhao Xiaona directly," Chen Yiming hurriedly said to Su Changfeng.
"Since you failed back then, I guess you engaged in so petty actions afterward, right?" Su Changfeng said disdainfully.
Su Changfeng continued walking toward Chen Yiming, showing no intention of stopping.
Seeing Su Changfeng getting closer, Chen Yiming broke out in a cold sweat. Though he was the village head, he understood that even if Su Changfeng beat him to death in front of so many people today, it wouldn’t affect him.
"Well, many things about Zhao Xiaona were purposely spread to the villagers by Ghost on my orders," Liu Wei said helplessly.
Su Changfeng snorted coldly, "Heh, tell
all the shady things you’ve done quickly. Don’t make
ask each question for each answer."
Terrified, Chen Yiming quickly nodded and said, "At first, Zhao Xiaona was unwilling to be with , so I had people spread rumors about
going to her house and only leaving in the dead of night. Then, after Zhao Xiaona moved to the city, I claid she found a lover outside, even saying she sold her daughter to a shady place. I fabricated all of this purposefully." Chen Yiming revealed the truth in one breath, not daring to conceal anything.
Upon hearing Chen Yiming’s words, everyone was dumbstruck. Initially, they thought these events truly happened, believing Zhao Xiaona had a terrible character, engaging in improper deeds upon moving to the city, thus having a bad reputation. Little did they know, everything was Chen Yiming’s lies.
"Your heart is truly vicious. Did you act with a ’if I can’t have her, I’ll destroy her’ ntality back then?" Su Changfeng asked with an icy gaze.
Back then, Chen Yiming indeed had such thoughts, believing that since Zhao Xiaona’s husband had passed away, and he was, after all, a village head, being with him wouldn’t be a bad thing. Yet, despite all his pursuits, Zhao Xiaona remained unwilling, leading him to resort to such tricks, deliberately spreading false rumors to ruin Zhao Xiaona’s na, making her scorned by the villagers.
Chen Yiming did this, thinking it was a re trivial matter that couldn’t cause much turmoil, but things didn’t go as planned. Zhao Xiaona, just a widow, ended up connecting with powerful figures years later.
"I arranged all of this intentionally; I was blinded by greed. I know I deserve punishnt, but heaven has a virtue of sparing life. Please, such a big figure like you, overlook my offenses, including this ti," Chen Yiming kowtowed begging for rcy from Su Changfeng.
At that mont, Zhao Xiaona couldn’t hold back any longer, directly pushing the car door open, stepping out of the vehicle, making the onlookers particularly envious.
After all, Zhao Xiaona was sitting in a luxury car now. It was the first ti for so to see such a luxurious vehicle, and there she was, returning to her hotown in it.
"Wow, isn’t that Zhao Xiaona? She must have stumbled upon incredible luck to know such a wealthy person."
"You never know, there might be more to the story than we’re aware of."
"Stop that right now. Is this the ti for such talk? Take a look at the village head—he’s been beaten to a pulp. If you keep running your mouth, you might be next."
The person who was gossiping incessantly earlier heard this warning and imdiately shrank back, lowering his head silently, not daring to speak again.
Zhao Xiaona strode directly to Chen Yiming, gritting her teeth, and said, "Because of you, I’ve dared not return ho for years. Because of you, I’ve been lonely and unsupported outside."
Chen Yiming crawled before Zhao Xiaona, knowing that in his present situation, begging for rcy was his only option left.
"Zhao Xiaona, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have had thoughts about you back then, and I shouldn’t have spread rumors in the village. It’s all my fault." Chen Yiming bowed devoutly in front of Zhao Xiaona, speaking earnestly.
Over the years, Zhao Xiaona’s child living outside endured great hardship, which couldn’t simply end with a re apology from Chen Yiming. At this mont, Zhao Xiaona couldn’t bear it anymore, directly slapped Chen Yiming several tis.
Kneeling on the ground, Chen Yiming could only take the blows without uttering a word.
When Zhao Xiaona stopped, Chen Yiming’s face was already marked with countless hand seals.
"Mom, don’t bother with people like him anymore. He’s not worth you raising your hand to hit," Chen Qingqing took hold of Zhao Xiaona’s now reddened hand.
Among the crowd, a young man about Chen Qingqing’s age felt sowhat excited upon seeing her.
This boy, Lei Zihao, was the sa age as Chen Qingqing and often bullied her when they were children. Back then, Chen Qingqing didn’t dress up and hadn’t grown up yet, looking like a tomboy. But seeing her today, she has beco a poised young woman.
"Lei Zihao, I rember you had a quite decent relationship with Chen Qingqing in the past. Look at her now, living so well. Why don’t you go over to reconnect and reminisce?" an onlooker said to Lei Zihao.
