After leaving Mr. Jiu’s place, Xu Wenwan had intended to go to the carpenter’s to order a few larger molds. But as soon as she turned the corner, she saw Leng Yuan on a donkey cart and imdiately decided to visit the carpenter another day.
The donkey cart wasn’t large. The team leader and the accountant were in the front, with Leng Yuan and her father in the middle.
Xu Wenwan went to sit directly beside Leng Yuan.
’Only by sitting close to Leng Yuan can I get a chance to touch him and absorb his luck.’
’Once I have Leng Yuan’s luck, the plot will get back on track. I’ll reclaim my status as the female lead and beco this world’s ultimate winner.’
With that in mind, Xu Wenwan climbed onto the donkey cart and made her way toward the spot beside Leng Yuan.
Village Chief Xu was speechless.
’What on earth is my daughter doing?’
’There’s so much other space on this cart, yet she insists on squeezing in right next to Leng Yuan.’
When his wife had told him before that Xu Wenwan had taken a liking to Leng Yuan, he had been angry. He was anxious to marry her off, but deep down, he hadn’t really believed it.
After all, Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao had been getting very cozy before this.
He had assud it was all just a ploy on her part to marry Yun Hao.
He had wanted his daughter to stay at ho a while longer, but since she was so impatient to get married, he gave up on the idea.
He didn’t want to keep her at ho so long that they beca enemies.
That was why he had gone to see Yun Hao.
He had expected it to go smoothly, but Yun Hao rejected him. If he hadn’t swallowed his pride and threatened the young man, the marriage would have been completely off the table.
He had been furious at the rejection.
But looking at her now... ’With a disposition like hers, it would be a miracle if Yun Hao actually liked her.’
’But I’m no saint, either.’
’If he didn’t like her, he shouldn’t have led her on. He ruined my daughter’s reputation, and now he says he won’t marry her?’
’The entire village knows they were courting. If he doesn’t marry her now, how will she ever find another husband?’
’A little threat is all it takes to handle a young man like Yun Hao.’
But he had just finished threatening Yun Hao, and in the next mont, his daughter was already setting her sights on Leng Yuan!
How utterly shaless!
For a mont, Village Chief Xu felt dizzy. The rage burning in his chest was so intense it made him feel physically ill, and he desperately wanted to hit sothing to vent.
But with outsiders present, he managed to restrain himself. Just as Xu Wenwan started moving toward Leng Yuan, he gave her a sharp tug, pulling her over to his side.
"It’s cold. Sit next to your father, it’s warr."
Xu Wenwan was speechless.
’What is my father doing?’
’I finally get a chance to get close to Leng Yuan, and my own father has to hold back. Ever since I ca ho, this entire family has disapproved of . Is everyone in this house determined to work against ?’
Xu Wenwan wanted to argue.
But one look at the dark, profound warning in her father’s eyes made her swallow her words.
’I’m sure of it. If I dare to talk back, Dad will definitely hit .’
’Forget it. Discretion is the better part of valor.’
Xu Wenwan obediently sat down beside Village Chief Xu.
On the donkey cart, Leng Yuan knew she possessed sothing that coveted his luck, so he remained on high alert.
Village Chief Xu, assuming his daughter had a crush on Leng Yuan, felt deeply uncomfortable and kept his head down.
Chen Beiguo and the accountant, oblivious to the situation, continued to chat with Leng Yuan.
Whenever they occasionally directed a question to Village Chief Xu, he would just mumble a short reply.
’This is so humiliating!’
His daughter had actually taken a liking to Leng Yuan, and was acting this way right in front of the man himself. Village Chief Xu felt so ashad he couldn’t even hold his head up.
He had been the chief of the Qingshan Team for most of his life; when had he ever lost this much face?
And the person causing him this sha was, of all people, the daughter who was switched at birth and had only recently returned. He was in a bind, unsure if he should reprimand her or not.
’What a disgrace!’
Unaware of her father’s inner turmoil, Xu Wenwan took advantage of his distraction and began to subtly edge sideways.
