Ch 51: Rumors
Xiang Zhihang and An Wei, two people who repair bicycles, are here to repair the tractor. It’s not that they can’t do it, it’s just that the progress is too slow. They’re repairing it while groping and learning, how can it not be slow?
The two of them run to the Du Family Home every day, and after a long time, there are rumors.
Strangely enough, the rumors only target Xiang Zhihang and Du Qingyang, not a single word is mentioned about An Wei. Obviously, he also goes in and out of the Du family every day. Perhaps, he has a face of a natural underling, too easily overlooked.
Look, Xiang Zhihang runs to the Du family every day, isn’t it to see Du Qingyang? （Obviously, Du Qingyang is busy with the Pin Shang Clothing Store and is often not at home.）
It’s just to see Du Qingyang. Besides seeing Du Qingyang, what else could he be doing? （Obviously, they are repairing the tractor.） Those who gossip directly ignore that.
I just think their relationship is abnormal.
Didn’t Du Qingyang save Xiang Zhihang? He’s probably repaying her with his life.
With Xiang Zhihang’s poor appearance, would the Du Family Members even agree?
Xiang Zhihang isn’t poor now, he opened a shop and became a Boss.
It’s just a small shop, how can it compare to the Du Family’s wealth?
Who told Du Qingyang to have her engagement broken off, it’s good enough that someone wants her. （Obviously, Du Qingyang took the initiative to break off the engagement.）
Such harsh words, some people say. It’s just that no one dares to say it in front of the Du Family Members.
However, even if you say it in front of Du Qingyang, she wouldn’t care. She is a person who does great things, she doesn’t take these small things to heart at all.
Du Qingyang didn’t take it to heart, but some people were brooding over it, and specially blocked her on the way home to explain it in detail.
“Qingyang, quickly tell Xiang Zhihang to get lost, he can’t go to your house anymore.” Zhu Xuan looked righteous and stern.
Where did this fool come from? Du Qingyang rolled her eyes at Zhu Xuan, didn’t say a word, and walked around him.
“Do you know how harsh the words they’re saying are?” Zhu Xuan, however, was relentless and blocked Du Qingyang again.
Immediately, Zhu Xuan repeated all those rumors, for fear that Du Qingyang really didn’t know. He also earnestly persuaded her, saying that rumors are bad for her reputation.
During the conversation, Du Qingyang sized up Zhu Xuan. White shirt, black pants. Glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, he does have a bit of a refined temperament. But, he’s not handsome. His eyes aren’t bright enough, his features aren’t delicate enough, and his figure isn’t strong enough. No need to guess, he definitely doesn’t have pectoral muscles.
This isn’t Du Qingyang’s type.
So, why is he blocking her way? You’re neither a sunny, muscular, handsome guy, nor a beautiful man like Pan An, who wants to look at you?
“I like Brother Zhihang, I just want to see him every day.” Du Qingyang suddenly retorted. It wasn’t that she really liked him, she just didn’t want Zhu Xuan to waste her time. So, Du Qingyang simply admitted that the rumors were true, to save trouble.
I’ve admitted it, what else is there to say? Hurry up and leave, don’t keep nagging.
Unexpectedly, Du Qingyang would admit it, Zhu Xuan was stunned, and immediately stopped talking, speechless.
Just what Du Qingyang wanted, it’s good as long as it’s quiet. She walked around him again and left.
“Qingyang, are you angry with me?” Zhu Xuan suddenly shouted from behind.
Du Qingyang stopped, thinking and recalling whether Zhu Xuan had offended her recently.
It seems not. Then, what is she angry about?
“You’re jealous that I used to be good to Yao Lin, so you’re jealous and angry. The words just now were all said in anger.” As soon as Zhu Xuan’s words came out, Du Qingyang instantly understood.
Heavens, so the male protagonist in the original novel, besides being arrogant, also has delusions? He’s quite sick, I wonder if he can still be saved.
Right, it seems that the Original Owner used to like Zhu Xuan? Du Qingyang almost forgot. Who told Zhu Xuan to be so niche, making him hard to remember.
Okay, since it’s someone the Original Owner used to like, then give the Original Owner some face and say a few words to Zhu Xuan.
Du Qingyang turned around, cleared her throat, and looked at Zhu Xuan, opening her mouth word by word.
“Classmate Zhu, it was because I was ignorant in the past that we had the engagement.”
“Later, I became sensible, so I quickly broke off the engagement.”
◈◈◈
“So, don’t take the words I said in the past about liking you to heart. After I became sensible, I forgot all about them, there was no such thing.”
Zhu Xuan’s face turned completely white, and he was twitching.
Du Qingyang only said she liked him because she was ignorant in the past? Those were all fake? In that case, Du Qingyang never liked him at all?
Zhu Xuan’s body swayed. Why does he feel a little dizzy? His heart feels a little uncomfortable?
Du Qingyang ignored Zhu Xuan and this time, she really turned around and left. Her steps were light and her mood was good.
With a sentence of being ignorant, she resolved the Original Owner’s past, how could she not be happy? She has to add a chicken leg to reward herself tonight.
Du Qingyang continued to skip and jump towards home. Near the front of her house, she saw three Aunties pointing and whispering something. As soon as the three Aunties saw Du Qingyang coming, they immediately stopped talking and fell silent.
No need to guess, Du Qingyang also knew that the three were talking about her and Xiang Zhihang.
Suddenly, Du Qingyang’s eyes lit up, and she walked to the three Aunties with a smile. “Hello, three beautiful Auntie!”
The Aunties were stunned, Du Qingyang actually took the initiative to greet them? And called them beautiful Auntie? The three were happy and smiled, this girl is sensible.
“Qingyang, why are you coming back so late?”
“Hurry home and eat, don’t go hungry.”
Being praised as beautiful, the three immediately forgot themselves, and also forgot that they were just saying bad things about Qingyang. This time, they actually started to care about Du Qingyang.
“Hey, isn’t it because something happened at home.” Du Qingyang deliberately sighed.
What happened at home? What major event happened to the Du Family? Even the Du Family Girl is frowning?
The three were already gossipy. This time, they pricked up their ears even more, wanting to ask clearly.
This is exactly what Du Qingyang wanted.
“Didn’t our tractor break down? Do you know how it broke down?” Du Qingyang deliberately asked back, further piquing the interest of the three.
“How did it break down?”
“Someone cut the wires. That person was so ruthless, they cut a bunch of wires.”
What? The Du Family’s tractor was sabotaged? Who? How dare they do that? As soon as they heard that the tractor was deliberately damaged, the three closely questioned. Have they found the perpetrator? Who is it?
The three were very interested, wanting to get to the bottom of it. So, Du Qingyang started to make up a story.
There is a Great Immortal in Dong Town, whose divination is particularly accurate. Du Qingyang went to find him today and asked him to perform a divination.
According to the Great Immortal’s divination image, the person who damaged the tractor is in San Nan Village. Female, under 18 years old, has a classmate relationship with Du Qingyang, and has had emotional disputes.
The divination image also showed that this girl’s home is about two kilometers away from the Du Family Home, in the southeast direction.
“Is it Yao Lin? Yao Lin is your classmate, she likes Zhu Xuan, and the Yao Family is only two kilometers away from the Du Family, in the southeast direction!” One Auntie blurted out. What the divination image showed, Yao Lin fits all of it.
