Chapter 697: Face Smacking

“Married?!” Weng Jingjing screamed in surprise, “How is this possible?”

Xiao Letong looked at Weng Jingjie’s expression and asked with confusion, “Auntie, why is it impossible? Uncle Gong is already over 30 years old. Isn’t it normal for a 30-year-old man to get married and have children?”

Weng Jingjing’s expression froze for a moment. With great difficulty, she forced a smile and said, “Little friend, you can’t lie. Maybe the Uncle Gong that you know and I know is not the same person?”

Xiao Letong tilted his small head and asked, “Auntie, is the Uncle Gong you’re talking about called Gong Tianhao? If it’s Gong Tianhao, then it should be the same person. In the entire Taoyuan Village, there’s only one person with the surname Gong and the name Gong Tianhao.”

Weng Jingjing’s face twitched. She took a deep breath and said, “That’s right. His name is Gong Tianhao.” Then, she said with a sad expression, “How could this be? We haven’t been apart for long, and he said he loved me very much. How could he suddenly get married? How could he break the promise between us and marry someone else?”

Due to her sadness, the corners of her eyes filled with tears. She instantly attracted the gazes of the surrounding men and attracted their sympathy.

Xiao Letong was stunned, but he thought to himself, ‘This woman is really shameless.’

When the surrounding men saw such a beautiful woman look so sad, they immediately showed pity and love, and then they felt great injustice for her.

“Damn it, how can a man betray his lover and marry someone else?”

“Even if there’s a misunderstanding between lovers, he can just explain it. This Gong man is a real scumbag. He broke up with his girlfriend one day and then married someone else the next. In my opinion, he had already planned this all along. He just doesn’t want to marry her. He fell in love with her and slept with her, but he didn’t want to take responsibility.”

…
“That’s right, that’s right! A man like this is simply a scum among men!”

The voices of condemnation against the man with the surname Gong rang out one after another.

Weng Jingjing put on a pitiful look, but she was extremely proud in her heart. Her new appearance was amazing.

Her original appearance was not bad, but people would only call her cute. Not all men liked that type. But Weng Jingjing’s appearance was stunning and charming. It attracted not only men but also women. This was what she was most satisfied with.

In the past, she did not dare to dream of marrying Gong Tianhao. Plus, there were so many rumors about him. Hence, when her aunt, Bai Lianhua, wanted to set her up with Gong Tianhao, she knew her own limits. She did not think that she could really marry Gong Tianhao.

…

However, after changing her appearance and being brainwashed by some people, she believed that her value had doubled. Obviously, other than Gong Tianhao, no one else was worthy of her.

When she heard that Gong Tianhao had already gotten married and had children, she was naturally furious. She really saw herself as Weng Jingjing and believed that Gong Tianhao had betrayed her.

When she put on a pitiful appearance, she received the love of all men. At the same time, she was glad that the men came to her rescue.

“Hehe, you men only know how to see the surface. Haven’t you thought about why Mr. Gong would rather marry someone else than her?”

“With her seductive appearance, how many men would be willing to marry her? He must be worried that he might be cuckolded.”

“When did this woman and Mr. Gong get separated anyway?”

“Didn’t you hear? Mr. Gong is already married and has children. Maybe they have been separated for a long time.”

These were all women. The opposite sex attracted each other, while the same sex repelled each other.

Many women were jealous and said some sarcastic words.

Hearing these women’s insulting and mocking words, Weng Jingjing was so angry that her face turned ugly. However, she hid her anger very well so that no one could notice the anger and twisted expression in her eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Letong said in a curious and confused voice, “Auntie, you said that you and uncle Gong separated because of a misunderstanding. I want to ask, when did you and Uncle Gong separate?”

Weng Jingjing said with a painful and helpless expression, “I have been separated from him for a long time!”

“How long has it been?” Xiao Letong was slightly dissatisfied with Weng Jingjing’s answer.

The corner of Weng Jingjing’s mouth twitched. She revealed a bitter smile but said kindly, “Child, don’t you worry about that.”

“Then Auntie, what was the reason that you and Uncle Gong were separated?” Xiao Letong continued to ask.

Weng Jingjie’s expression froze for a moment, and she said helplessly, “I told you, there’s no need for you to worry about that.” Then, she added with some difficulty, “At that time, I met him in university and fell in love with him. Back then, he was just a poor student and had to work a few hours a day. He told me that he wanted to save his money and use it as a start-up fund.

“I was very moved by his ambition and worked with him every day. When he handed out the flyers, I followed him. When he worked in a restaurant, I followed him. Just like that, I accompanied him all the time.

“In order to save money, we lived frugally every day. We ate a bowl of porridge in the morning, ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables in the afternoon, and ate a bowl of porridge in the evening. We lived like this. Although we were poor at that time, we were very happy.”

She paused for a moment, and then a sad expression appeared on her face as she continued, “Until one day, an old man came to me and gave me a sum of money, asking me to leave him. At that time, I realized that he was a rich young master.

“The so-called poverty was just a process for the family to test his ability. Now that the test is over, he has to go back home to inherit the family business. I was a poor woman so naturally, I didn’t deserve him.”

This story was very simple and moving.

This kind of story could move people’s hearts even more.

A man suppressed his anger and asked, “What happened after that?” The story was definitely not over yet. After all, the man had somehow gotten married and had children.

Xiao Letong glanced at his great-grandfather and turned around to ask curiously, “Auntie, what happened after that?”

Old Master Gong’s face had already turned ashen. This woman was too good at spouting nonsense. Things were clearly not like that.

However, some doubts flashed through his heart.

At that time, he had seen Weng Jingjing. Weng Jingjing was extremely arrogant around him. Now, even if ten years had passed, his appearance had not changed much. If she really liked Gong Tianhao that much, she would definitely recognize him. But he was standing in front of her. It was fine if she didn’t recognize him, but she actually dared to make up nonsense in front of him. She even wanted to destroy his grandson’s reputation.

But, he wanted to see what else this woman could make up.

Weng Jingjing’s face turned pale.

She continued, “We truly love each other. It has nothing to do with our identities. Even if he lied to me, I didn’t blame him. I knew that he would definitely give me an explanation.

“However, before I could wait for him to give me an explanation, the old man came again.

“He said, I’m just a country girl. I’m not qualified to be with my Prince Charming. After all, the competition for the position of family heir is fierce. Gong Tianhao needs strong backing, and political marriage is the best choice. If he chose me, I would only drag him down.

“So, in order not to drag him down, I lied to Gong Tianhao. I told him I had fallen in love with another boy. That boy has money in his family and likes me very much. They will pay for my study abroad. I even let him see me with that boy with his own eyes. Then, he angrily chose to break up with me.”

Her story was very common, just like those idol dramas on TV. The male and female protagonists were often separated because of the huge difference in status, and they were often misunderstood by others.

“So, they separated because of such a misunderstanding? The Gong Family is so ridiculous. They took advantage of the kindness of this poor woman. They even bribed and threatened her. How shameless!”

“I thought this would only happen on television. I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen in reality. It’s really too hateful.”

“The university love was so pure, but it was all tainted by the man’s family.”

“That man is shameless too. Shouldn’t he check his lover’s claim? What kind of bastard is he?”

There was another wave of rebuke for Gong Tianhao.

Old Master Gong’s face was livid with anger. He gripped his crutches tightly. ‘This woman is spouting nonsense.’

Just as Old Master Gong was about to flare up, Xiao Letong immediately pinched his sleeve and winked at him.

Xiao Letong turned around and asked sympathetically, “Auntie, your love story is really pitiful. However, you kept saying that an old man came to find you and asked you to separate from your lover. May I ask, who is that old man?”

Weng Jingjing wiped her tears and said very carefully, “It’s his grandfather. At that time, he was his grandfather’s most favored successor. Of course, he wouldn’t allow me, a woman who was poor, to be with his grandson.”

“Oh, I see!” Xiao Letong asked seriously, “Then do you still remember what that old grandfather looked like? You said that the old grandfather had a misunderstanding with you and asked you to separate from his grandson.

“But you also said that the grandfather wanted you to leave his grandson so that he could have a better future. In any case, how are you going to explain the misunderstanding to him this time?”

As soon as Xiao Letong said this, some people immediately realized that something was wrong.

This woman initially said that she had come to look for Grandpa to explain the misunderstanding. But her story stated that the Grandfather clearly wanted her to leave because she was poor. There was no misunderstanding there.

Therefore, there was obviously a contradiction.

Weng Jingjing also realized that the story she had made up was too much. Well, it was not a story she had made up, but one someone had told her. She had gotten carried away and made some mistakes.

Weng Jingjing also realized this and said quickly, “Back then, when I was dating him, I was talking to another boy at my part-time workplace. Grandfather Gong happened to see us. He thought I was unfaithful to his grandson. That’s why he separated us.” She felt a little smug with this excuse she came up with. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered up her lie. Otherwise, with so many people watching, she really didn’t know how to explain herself.

“Oh.” Xiao Letong nodded after hearing this. Then, he turned his head and asked, “Great-grandfather, was it like this back then?”

Old Master Gong leaned on his walking stick and beat the ground fiercely. There was faint anger on his face as he shouted sternly, “Nonsense, it’s all nonsense!”

Weng Jingjing’s expression froze. She then said with a slightly aggrieved tone, “Old man, everything I said is true. I didn’t lie at all!”

Someone at the side immediately rebuked, “Who are you? What right do you have to say that I’m talking nonsense?”

“That’s right. Don’t think that just because you’re old, you can accuse others of spouting nonsense,” someone couldn’t stand it and said.

All of a sudden, Old Master Gong became the target of everyone’s criticism, while Weng Jingjing became the target of everyone’s sympathy.

When Xiao Letong saw that his great-grandfather was being criticized, his small face immediately sank as he coldly said, “Alright, I’ll tell you who this old man is. Taoyuan Village only has one family with the surname Gong and this elder also has the surname Gong. He’s the grandfather of this auntie’s ex-lover, the person whom she said had forced them to separate!”

The scene was completely silent!
