Chapter 225: Jealousy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The corners of Su Li’s lips twitched. She didn’t want to continue arguing with Li Mingyuan and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Take a long walk yourself!”
Li Mingyuan suddenly said, “Do you regret it?”
Su Li tilted her head and asked, “Regret what?”
Li Mingyuan stared at Su Li and said seriously, “Do you regret marrying that burly man? I heard that he’s a person who doesn’t know anything. He spends almost the entire month on the mountain. Marrying such a man must have been unfair to you.”
Su Li was speechless. The man in front of her might be seriously ill. Otherwise, why would he say such things?
It was as if he was not the one who used to be cold to the Host and mock her.
Besides, what did it have to do with him whether she regretted it or not?
If the soul in this shell was still the original owner, and the original owner’s answer was “regret”, would Li Mingyuan be able to marry the original owner or what?
For scum like Li Mingyuan, she only wanted to take a sack and put it on to beat him up so that his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!
Su Li looked at Li Mingyuan with interest. “What if I regret it? Can you marry me? I heard from the villagers that you haven’t gotten married. Could it be that you’re waiting for me?”
“But you’re an only child after all. Won’t you be mocked by others if you marry a someone who had been married? But it doesn’t matter if you’re mocked by others. I’ll definitely stand beside you and laugh louder than them.”
Li Mingyuan was speechless.
When did she become so sharp-tongued?
She remembered that she used to speak very softly to him every time, afraid that it would affect her image if she spoke too loudly.
However, it was impossible for him to marry Su Li. With his current status, how could he marry a woman who had married before? If he became a high-ranking official in the future, wouldn’t he be mocked for the rest of his life?
Li Mingyuan said proudly, “If you divorce him, I can introduce you to my classmates. Their future is limitless. If you marry them, you will definitely be able to become a first-rank wife in the future.
He thought about it in his heart. Someone too outstanding would definitely not do. It was one thing if others liked Su Li, but what if others liked her?
He would never let such a thing happen. He couldn’t let Su Li live better than him, right?
At the thought of that possibility, Li Mingyuan felt his entire body go numb.
Su Li looked at his changing expression and said, “You should keep your outstanding classmates for your sister. After all, your sister hasn’t gotten married yet, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Li Mingyuan’s smile immediately froze on his face. Who didn’t know that his sister wasn’t good-looking? It would be strange if those classmates liked his sister!
Su Li leaned close to Li Mingyuan’s ear and said, “Also, I don’t regret it at all. The only thing I regret in my life is knowing you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so unlucky in the past.”
Li Mingyuan opened his mouth to say something, but Su Li did not give him a chance to speak. She turned around and left.
She had just taken two steps when she saw He Yufeng standing by the roadside. His expression was a little cold as he stood there without moving, making Su Li’s hair stand on end.
Su Li walked up to him and asked with a smile, “Why are you up so early? You were injured yesterday. You should rest more today.”
She still wanted to go back quietly so that no one would know that she had come out. Who knew that not only would she meet Li Mingyuan, but she would also meet He Yufeng before she reached home? This was not right!
He Yufeng stared at her and said, “You’re already up so early. How can I sleep on the bed lazily? If your parents see me, they’ll say that I’m too incompetent as a husband. I actually let my wife wake up early and walk around the village alone.”
When he woke up, he realized that the sky was already bright. The person beside him had long disappeared, and the blanket under him was cold. One could imagine how long Su Li had been gone.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and came out to look for Su Li. Not long after, he saw Su Li talking to a man. He even saw the man grab her arm. In the end, Su Li even whispered into the man’s ear, looking extremely intimate.
Moreover, he could tell from the man’s eyes that he had different emotions for Su Li, as if he was looking at someone he liked.
He Yufeng could not think of any other reason for a man and a woman to be together. The only possibility was that the two of them had some unknown secrets.
It was no wonder that Su Li disappeared so early in the morning. She had come to meet that wild man in private!
Thinking of this, He Yufeng felt like his lungs were about to explode!
Su Li didn’t know what He Yufeng was thinking at all. She casually found an excuse and said, “I woke up too early in the morning, so I thought of coming out for a walk.”
Hearing He Yufeng’s words just now, she was sure that He Yufeng did not know that she had not gone back for the entire night.
He Yufeng looked into the distance and said, “Let’s go back!”
They did not have much feelings for each other to begin with, so it would seem petty of him to be so calculative.
Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying had already woken up. When they saw the two of them enter the house one after another, their eyes could not help but light up.
The couple had gone out for a walk early in the morning. Their relationship must have improved after sleeping together yesterday.
Jiao Yuying secretly praised her decision. If not for her quick-wittedness, her daughter and son-in-law’s relationship would not have improved so quickly! Su Li said to Su Jidong, “Father, come over. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” Su Jidong asked.
Su Li made up a story and told Su Jidong what happened last night. When Su Jidong heard this, he was very shocked. Even He Yufeng, who was beside him, frowned.
“Is it really that serious?” Su Jidong asked.
Su Li nodded. “Those people are still by the well in the village. Dad, if you don’t believe me, you can go take a look.”
“Everyone should have woken up by now. Someone will be fetching water to drink soon. Father, you have to stop them quickly. It will be troublesome if something really happens!”
Su Jidong looked troubled. “Everyone in the village is drinking water there. If we suddenly are not able to drink from the well, what will the villagers do?”
Everyone drank water from the well. Even if he went to stop them, it might not be useful!
Su Li urged, “Father, you should give it a try first. If anyone doesn’t believe you, ask them drink the water in front of everyone. When something really happens, they’ll believe you.”
As the old saying went, if the board couldn’t hit the person, he didn’t know how painful it would be.
It was best to let those people see what would happen after drinking the water. One shouldn’t just rely on their mouths all day long. They didn’t even believe what others said!
Jiao Yuying also said from the side, “Old man, go quickly, in case something really happens later!”
