The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

”Yun Hao, take Wen Wan home,” Village Chief Xu called out, his face grim as he noticed Yun Hao standing off to the side.

Yun Hao didn’t move.

It was Chen Xiaoli, standing beside him, who gave his arm a tug.

Only then did Yun Hao reluctantly approach Xu Wenwan. Just as he reached out to help her, she slapped his arm away.

The corner of Village Chief Xu’s eye twitched. ’Neither of them makes things easy, especially not my daughter.’

”Forget it. Don’t help her. Let her walk on her own.”

When it came down to it, this was still Xu Wenwan’s fault.

Even though Gu Jiaojiao had helped explain, with so many people watching—and considering his daughter’s improper intentions—Village Chief Xu believed this was no misunderstanding.

He sighed to himself, feeling an ever-growing sense of apology toward Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao.

Xu Wenwan wasn’t thinking about any of that. She was still fuming! With a cold expression, she started walking home by herself.

Though Xu Wenwan had cut her head, it wasn’t a serious injury—just a small gash that had already stopped bleeding.

Chen Xiaoli didn’t follow them right away. Instead, she walked over to Gu Jiaojiao to thank her.

”Jiaojiao, thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, our family would have become a laughingstock.”

With someone like that in the family, her children would be pointed at and gossiped about whenever they went out.

Then, thinking of Xu Wenwan’s intentions, Chen Xiaoli added a quiet reminder.

”Jiaojiao, you should be a little more careful from now on. Leng Yuan is handsome and capable, so a lot of women used to have their eyes on him. It’s just that he has such a cold personality that the village girls never dared to get close.”

To be precise, everyone was intimidated by his icy expression.

Gu Jiaojiao knew Chen Xiaoli meant well, so she nodded.

”I understand.”

Seeing Gu Jiaojiao’s simple reply, Chen Xiaoli could tell she hadn’t taken the warning to heart.

She grew anxious and ashamed.

For her own sister-in-law to do something like this... Chen Xiaoli wished she could just dig a hole and crawl into it.

’How can Jiaojiao be so kindhearted? How can she trust people so easily?’ The more Chen Xiaoli thought about it, the more despicable Xu Wenwan seemed.

’No. After this, I have to give Xu Wenwan a harsh warning.’

After escorting Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan home, Village Chief Xu and Chen Xiumin walked through the door, and Chen Xiumin immediately slapped Xu Wenwan across the face.

Xu Wenwan was speechless.

First a man had hit her, and now her own mother. A wave of indignation washed over her, and in a fit of rage, she shoved Chen Xiumin.

Chen Xiumin fell to the ground, completely stunned.

Xu Wenwan was stunned too, but then she decided she’d done nothing wrong.

’I’m not the one at fault. What right does my mother have to hit me?’

Village Chief Xu’s expression instantly darkened. He shot Xu Wenwan a look so chilling it made her blood run cold.

But Village Chief Xu said nothing. He simply walked over and helped Chen Xiumin to her feet.

It was in that moment that Village Chief Xu realized this daughter of his was beyond saving.

Yun Hao watched on with cold detachment, his eyes filled with scorn.

Xu Wenwan stood helplessly in the courtyard, not saying a word.

Chen Xiumin started to say something more, but Village Chief Xu stopped her by grabbing her arm.

Chen Xiumin looked from her husband to Xu Wenwan and said nothing, but her eyes began to glisten with tears.

At last, Village Chief Xu spoke. ”Xu Wenwan, you were switched at birth. We didn’t raise you through your childhood, so if we were to speak of the debt a child owes a parent, there is none.”

”From this day forward, you are no longer a daughter of the Xu Family. Pretend you never had us for parents. No matter what happens in the future, do not come back.”

With that, Village Chief Xu helped Chen Xiumin away.

They walked past Yun Hao without a single glance.

Xu Wenwan opened her mouth to explain, but then shut it. ’I did nothing wrong! I didn’t try to seduce Leng Yuan, and Yun Hao even hit me. It’s one thing for my parents not to stick up for me, but my own mother hit me, too.’

’All I did was accidentally push her, and now they’re being this relentless, wanting to disown me?’

’They’ve hit me so many times before, and did I ever say anything?’

’Who needs cold, heartless parents like them anyway!’
