Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 769: 769 prevarication

After the three of them returned home, Zeng Yixin went to the supply and marketing cooperative himself. After all, the family still needed to eat.

The two girls were in the study.

”Yuanyuan, I’m sorry.”

”What do you have to be sorry for? Don’t overthink it.”

”Yuanyuan, why did that woman say you were seducing Yang Liulang?”

Su Yuanyuan shrugged. ”How should I know? Forget it, don’t think about it. Let’s cook some seafood noodles; we’ll have dumplings for lunch.”

Zeng Hongling got up dispiritedly. ”Alright, I’ll go knead the dough.”

She still felt like she had burdened Yuanyuan.

Meanwhile, after Yang Liulang saw Eighth leave, he continued to ponder over this matter.

It’s indeed very strange. Why did Tian Susu suddenly go crazy? That woman would never go crazy.

Something must have happened in between. Yang Liulang felt that the problem lay with Su Yuanyuan. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out.

After leaving the house, he bought some pastries and headed to the Zeng Family.

This was his stance, even though it really had nothing to do with him. But he needed to clear things up quickly.

He arrived at the entrance of the Zeng Family and happened to run into Zeng Yixin.

Everyone knew this matter had nothing to do with Yang Liulang. So Zeng Yixin didn’t make things difficult for him.

He went straight into the living room to find Zeng Yaozu to talk about it.

”Mr. Zeng.”

”Xiao Liu, come sit down quickly.”

”Mr. Zeng, I’ve caused trouble for Hongling.”

Zeng Yaozu still didn’t know what had happened, as he hadn’t been out yet.

”What’s going on?”

Yang Liulang told Zeng Yaozu everything he knew about the matter.

”What does this have to do with you? It’s fine. I’ll call Hongling for you. You two should talk.”

”Mr. Zeng, I’ll go find Hongling myself.” No matter what, he felt obliged to explain.

”Alright, alright, go to the kitchen and find Hongling. My granddaughter knows right from wrong.” This was reassurance for Yang Liulang.

Yang Liulang found Zeng Hongling who was tidying up in the kitchen.

”Hongling, let’s talk.”

Hearing this man’s calm voice, Zeng Hongling felt all her anger dissipate. This person was truly indifferent, even when it tarnished his reputation. He showed no other emotions at all.

She put down her tasks. ”Let’s go talk in my study.”

This was Yang Liulang’s first time entering a woman’s room, even if it was just a study.

It was truly different, very warm-looking, and there were quite a lot of nice things. The Zeng family’s eldest daughter was indeed pampered, and it was not just for show.

The two sat facing each other. ”Hongling, I have nothing to do with that woman.”

Was this his explanation? It did seem quite perfunctory. But Zeng Hongling didn’t mind; this issue already was quite a presence on Yang Liulang.

”I know, I don’t blame you. I just feel a little embarrassed. After all, tomorrow is practically our engagement.”

”Thank you for trusting me, there will be no changes.”

Zeng Hongling mentally ridiculed, thinking if he said so, then that’s it; no point arguing with such a person. She truly had no temper left.

At this time, Zeng Zhixuan also came in. Seeing the two young people, he directly sat down.

”Hongling, don’t overthink it.”

”Dad, I won’t overthink. I trust Yang Liulang.”

Only then did Zeng Zhixuan feel relieved. Both were sensible people, there was really no need to blame Yang Liulang.

”You two can chat for a while. Liulang, stay for dinner.”

”Uncle Zeng, I understand.”

Yang Liulang quite liked the dumplings at noon. Others could tell from the speed he ate the dumplings, yet his face still remained expressionless.

Tian Susu went crazy on her own. She was extremely unsettled. Slowly, she began to calm down.

What had happened, she could remember now; she was aware of every word she had said.

But she was terrified. What should she do? How could she live in the future? Why did she act that way?

She recalled the situation at the time but couldn’t quite explain it. It was as if everything back then was real. The scenes were incredibly vivid.

It’s really unexplainable. Now is not the time to think about this; the main thing is how to calm Li Er, and the Li Family.

Now she’s not sure what to do, pacing anxiously in the room. She knew Li Er’s temper.

Thinking of what she had just said to him, she wanted to die.

But no matter what, it needed to be resolved. Suddenly, she thought of a plan and immediately lay on the floor. Even though it was very cold on the ground now, for the future, she had to endure everything.

Her heart was filled with anxiety, hoping someone would come in quickly. That way, she would suffer less.

But today, why was no one coming in? Why didn’t that damn girl come?

In fact, everyone was avoiding her, afraid to come over. So Tian Susu was destined to suffer longer. More than three hours passed. Li Er came back swaying after drinking too much at dinner.

Actually, he was in a bad mood, and no one dared to advise him. The elders of the Li Family still didn’t know, but it was only a matter of time.

Tian Susu lying on the ground finally heard footsteps and almost cried out; someone was finally coming.

Li Er pushed the door open and saw Tian Susu lying on the ground. Frowning, he walked over, nudged her with his foot, but got no response.

Li Er sobered up. He hurriedly squatted down; Tian Susu indeed suited his tastes.

”Susu, Susu.”

But the person on the ground had no reaction.

This time, Li Er got scared, checked her breath, found she was still breathing, and hurriedly picked her up and laid her on the bed.

Ran out to call for help. Tian Susu showed a smile on her face, immediately covered it up again. She had succeeded halfway, and would need to act again later.

But she wasn’t worried about that; she couldn’t be fooled by anyone, except Yang Liulang.

Thinking of her lover, Tian Susu felt heartbroken.

At this time, chaotic footsteps approached, and Tian Susu collected her thoughts.

”Sister-in-law, see what’s going on? Susu is unconscious?”

Tian Susu already guessed who the people entering were.

”Second, I’ll pinch Susu’s philtrum to see if she doesn’t wake up; we’ll send her to the hospital.”

”Alright, alright, alright.” This sister-in-law’s family used to be doctors, so she knew a little.

Tian Susu was pinched terribly hard. Pretending to wake up slowly.

”Sister-in-law? What happened?”

”Susu, you don’t know what happened?” Others might not know, but she knew this woman was pretending just now. But it’s better to not meddle more than necessary. This was a matter between husband and wife after all.

”Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, why are you all here? What’s going on?”

None of the three spoke. They thought it was a matter between husband and wife and didn’t want to get involved.

But Tian Susu still wanted to use them. How could she manage if they didn’t speak?

”Sister-in-law, what’s really going on?”

”Susu, it’s nothing, you should talk to Second.”
