Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 1104 - 1014: Those Years 24

Arranging Zhou ijuan’s clothes, Fang Dai earnestly said to her, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, listen to my advice. If you’re dating Lin Laoer, then date him properly and don’t sneak around.

If you don’t want to continue with Lin Laoer, then break it off cleanly with him. Don’t get entangled, it’s harmful to both parties, and won’t help you find soone else in the future."

Fang Dai said this with good intentions. Whether or not Zhou ijuan was truly wronged, her reputation was ruined, and Fang Dai’s words seed to assu that Zhou ijuan and Lin Laoer were an item.

But by saying this, Fang Dai was actually giving Zhou ijuan two options: to be with Lin Laoer, or to break up as suggested. After all, we’re not in the old days anymore when even divorces were permitted, not to ntion dating.

Fang Dai had thought it through. Although she also suspected that Zhou ijuan might be really dating Lin Laoer due to her suspicious behavior.

But just in case Zhou ijuan was telling the truth, binding her to Lin Laoer would be extrely inhumane, so Fang Dai offered this solution. Though ant to downplay the issue, it indirectly protected Zhou ijuan a bit.

Even though Zhou ijuan had always been a bit foolish, she was smart enough this ti not to continue shouting that Lin Laoer raped her. Instead, she followed Fang Dai’s words, sobbing and saying, "I’m not dating Lin Laoer."

Everyone around understood that Zhou ijuan ant to clear any relationship with Lin Laoer. Although everyone had their own thoughts, no one made any snide remarks.

Too much gossip about such matters could genuinely drive soone to despair. Even though people thought poorly of Zhou ijuan, no one was cruel enough to push her to a dead end, so everyone kindly decided to let this matter pass.

Just when a drama seed to be starting, it was over. Lin Qianqian was dumbfounded. She expected this to turn into a big ss, with Zhou ijuan’s reputation ruined. If things beca worse, Zhou ijuan might have been forced to marry the rogue Lin Laoer.

Unwillingly, Lin Qianqian wanted to say sothing, but couldn’t open her mouth. Lin Qianqian wasn’t stupid. Now, if she remained silent, Zhou ijuan would escape unscathed, her reputation shattered. At the very least, Zhou ijuan wouldn’t dare pursue Qu Chengdong again.

If she were to rub salt in the wound now, people might sympathize with Zhou ijuan if she appeared too pitiful. So people have a soft spot for the weak.

Reluctantly, this farce didn’t play out, and the incident passed quickly. The plan to dig for bamboo shoots was ruined.

After saying a few words initially, Lin Laoer remained silent. He didn’t mind the outco; getting a wife cheaply would be ideal since no decent girl would marry him anyway.

If not, it didn’t matter. Lin Laoer’s lifestyle was to live one day at a ti, eat well today, and worry about tomorrow’s als tomorrow.

On leaving, Lin Qianqian glared fiercely at Lin Laoer, frustrated that the plan didn’t follow through, wasting her fifty yuan and a hundred pounds of grain tickets.

If Zhou ijuan had been caught doing the act, she wouldn’t have gotten off so easily.

Lin Laoer ignored Lin Qianqian’s malicious gaze. He was a greedy rogue but not an idiot, nor a fool.

He only left Zhou ijuan half-naked today and didn’t do anything serious, so he could escape unscathed.

If he had done sothing terrible to Zhou ijuan, Fang Dai wouldn’t have resolved it so smoothly for just so money and grain tickets. It wasn’t worth taking such a risk to help Lin Qianqian vent her anger.

Lin Qianqian thought she orchestrated today’s events flawlessly, believing no one would know what she did. However, she didn’t notice when Zhou ijuan, usually too shy to look up, quickly glanced at her with resentnt.

Zhou ijuan had no evidence to prove it was Lin Qianqian plotting against her, but after careful analysis, she concluded it could only be Lin Qianqian.

Using Qu Chengdong to trap her must have been because she knew Zhou ijuan fancied Qu Chengdong. And only soone close to him, like Lin Qianqian, could have noticed this.

Also, Lin Qianqian’s earlier scream was unusual. It wasn’t a timid reaction or to quickly move away but seed deliberately intended to draw attention.

Therefore, Zhou ijuan was sure that Lin Qianqian knew of her feelings for Qu Chengdong and was using this evil thod to retaliate.

Filled with hatred, Zhou ijuan felt ruined, convinced no man would fancy her now. Not just Qu Chengdong, but any man, barring a rogue like Lin Laoer.

Zhou ijuan clenched her teeth in rage, almost spitting blood, and vowed that she’d repay Lin Qianqian for all she suffered.

Despite the madness of her hatred, Zhou ijuan appeared outwardly weak, sobbing softly, entirely unaware of why she ended up in such a situation.

Back ho, Wen Shuangshuang began processing the mushrooms they collected. Aunt Qi was helping, threading mushrooms and hanging them to dry while Wen Shuangshuang shared Zhou ijuan’s story.

Aunt Qi listened with deep emotion. Zhou ijuan had been too dramatic before, so Aunt Qi was unsure if the current incident was true or if Zhou ijuan was being frad.

However, Zhou ijuan wasn’t well-liked, so people were more inclined to believe she was genuinely involved with Lin Laoer and just didn’t plan to commit to him.

This matter was too embarrassing, and the thought of facing future rumors left Zhou ijuan in despair.

That night, Zhou ijuan fell sick, her fever leaving her delirious, muttering nonsense. Since she lived alone, no one noticed at first.

Eventually, other educated youths realized sothing was wrong and went to check, finding Zhou ijuan feverish and nearly unrecognizable and taking her to the health clinic.
