The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

An older woman with sharp eyes muttered quietly, ”I just saw Xu Wenwan staring at Leng Yuan the whole time. I’d heard she tried to make a pass at him before, but he wanted nothing to do with her. Looks like she still hasn’t given up.”

”What? That really happened?”

”You don’t know? I saw it with my own eyes! When Leng Yuan wasn’t looking, Xu Wenwan threw herself right at him, but he dodged her. Then Gu Jiaojiao came over and gave Xu Wenwan a piece of her mind.”

”How shameless. Leng Yuan is a married man.”

Everyone had more or less forgotten about the incident, but now that they were reminded, it all came rushing back.

Instantly, the way everyone looked at Xu Wenwan changed.

No one liked a woman who tried to seduce another’s husband.

But gossip was one thing and dislike another. Seeing the two of them beating each other bloody, the villagers were afraid something terrible would happen and stepped in to break up the fight.

While the others were pulling the two apart, an idea struck Aunt Chen, and she took off running toward the village chief’s house.

At the village chief’s house, Village Chief Xu wasn’t home, but Chen Xiumin was. When Aunt Chen came running over and relayed what had happened, Chen Xiumin was so furious she almost fainted.

’What did I do in a past life to deserve a daughter like this?’

’Yun Hao bashed her head in just because she wanted to seduce Leng Yuan.’

Chen Xiumin wanted nothing more than to disown Xu Wenwan right then and there.

Aunt Chen stood to the side, making snide remarks. ”Xiumin, you’d better hurry over and have a look! They’re fighting pretty viciously. And you need to have a talk with your daughter. She’s a married woman now, she needs to settle down and stop doing such shameless things.”

Chen Xiumin knew the woman was only telling her this to watch the drama unfold, and her expression immediately hardened.

”I’ll handle my family’s business. You can go home now.”

Having said her piece and seen the spectacle she wanted, Aunt Chen knew it was time to leave and departed.

Chen Xiumin was furious with her daughter for being so disappointing, but Yun Hao was a man, and he had injured Xu Wenwan’s head. She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t worried.

But she couldn’t just leave. Chen Xiumin went out, found an acquaintance, and asked her to keep an eye on Yu Fangfang. Only then did she hurry toward the commotion in front of Aunt Chen’s house.

By the time Chen Xiumin arrived, Village Chief Xu was already there. Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan had been pulled apart.

Yun Hao had several bleeding scratches on his face and neck. Xu Wenwan hadn’t fared much better; her once-pretty face was swollen, her head was cut and bleeding, and she was covered in dust, looking utterly wretched.

Her hair a mess, Xu Wenwan saw Village Chief Xu and immediately began to complain, playing the victim.

”Dad, you have to stand up for me! Yun Hao started hitting me for no reason! This isn’t the first time he’s hit me,” she sobbed.

Yun Hao snorted. ”I hit her? Why don’t you ask your daughter what she’s been up to? Seducing men in the County Town, trying to seduce Leng Yuan right here in the village. She has no sense of shame.”

Village Chief Xu’s expression darkened. ”That’s enough! Both of you, shut up.”

In those days, accusations of improper conduct were taken very seriously; they weren’t something you could just toss around.

Xu Wenwan’s reaction was even more violent. She lunged forward and slapped Yun Hao across the face. ”You’re lying! When have I ever tried to seduce other men? This is slander!”

Yun Hao sneered. ”Slander you? Everyone saw you trying to make a pass at Leng Yuan. Why would I need to slander you?”

Xu Wenwan was furious, screaming that she had never tried to seduce Leng Yuan.

But no one there believed her.

Xu Wenwan puffed up with rage like a pufferfish.

’Are all these people blind? Are they just jealous of my looks? How else could they say something so ridiculous?’

’Me, try to seduce Leng Yuan?’

’What a joke.’
