Chapter 424: Xia Ru Gives Up on Li Jin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Wen Shu had previously inquired and discovered that Xia Ru was not a local resident. This meant that Xia Ru was even more vulnerable. If his relationship with Xia Ru was discovered by his wife, he could simply claim that Xia Ru had seduced him, and Xia Ru wouldn’t have any support from her family.

He had thought that Xia Ru’s family would be poor and lacking in education, but he hadn’t anticipated that Li Jin would be so morally bankrupt. This was no longer just about poverty; it was about being completely unscrupulous.

Wen Shut s expression softened slightly under Xia Ruts coaxing. Without hiding anything, he asked directly, “I’ve heard from the villagers about your relationship with Liu Shi. Were you ever his girlfriend?”

Xia Ru quickly shook her head and denied, “He was never my boyfriend. Liu Shi is just a thug and troublemaker in our village. He often robs the children in our village with his gang.”

“I started working to earn money for my family a long time ago. How could I have a good relationship with him, let alone consider him as a boyfriend?”

Wen Shu asked, “Then why do people in your village say that you had a relationship with him? Moreover, both of you got the same strange illness. If you didn’t have close contact, how did you both contract the same disease?”

For instance, some diseases nowadays are only transmitted through close contact between men and women.

Xia Ru swore, “I absolutely never had any relationship with Liu Shi. I admit that I was jealous of Xia Wan back then. After all, in middle school, she always scored lower than me in every exam. But when it came to the high school entrance exam, she got in, and I didn’t.”

“I felt unjust, so I wanted Liu Shi to help me teach Xia Wan a lesson.”

“But as you know, the result was different. Xia Wan was innocent, and instead, Liu Shi and I contracted a strange illness. We never had any relationship between us. How could I have the same illness as him unless Xia Wan tampered with something behind the scenes?”

“I underestimated Xia Wan in the past. She was always introverted until she started high school. I didn’t expect her to be so sinister.”

“She must have heard about me trying to seek revenge with Liu Shi, so she poisoned us.”

Since Wen Shu had already learned about his relationship with Liu Shi from the villagers, he was probably aware of how they had been cured as well.

So, Xia Ru didn’t hide the fact that they had been soaked in feces.

“Have you ever heard of using feces to cure illnesses? I had never heard of it before either, but Xia Wan used this method to cure us.” “It’s obvious that she was deliberately retaliating against us!”

Wen Shu hesitated for a moment.

He had never heard of using feces as a cure, and combined with Xia Rut s pitiable appearance, he believed her suspicion.

He then asked, “What about Lu Lin, the man from the capital? Many people saw you leaving his hotel, where you stayed overnight. Can you honestly say that nothing happened between you two?”

Xia Ru was seething with anger internally.

She lowered her head slightly and quickly thought about how to defend herself.

After a moment, she looked up, her eyes misty with tears, and said, “Between

Lu Lin and me, he forced me.”

“That day, I did go to his hotel, but it wasn’t to marry him.”

“When he came to our village, he was almost going to demolish my house. At the time, he made it clear that he despised our family and was here to annul the engagement.”

“Although I was born in a rural area and lacked exposure, I knew that people like Lu Lin were out of our league. Even if I slept with Lu Lin for one night, he still wouldn’t marry me.”

“So when I went to see him that day, it was just to tell him that I wanted to annul the engagement.”

“I can swear to the heavens that I absolutely didn’t deceive you.”

At that time, she had initially told Lu Lin about the annulment, but she had used it as an opportunity to make him think she wasn’t interested in wealth, hoping to make him like her.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t expected Lu Lin to be so disappointing. He had returned to his family with just one phone call from his father, leaving her without the chance to seduce him further..
