She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 48 Another Small Round of Wool-Plucking

Her gaze swept over, and everyone was reminded of Tang, the educated youth with whom Gu Yuncheng had an ambiguous relationship.

Seeing that she was about to be implicated, Tang Weiyu quickly waved her hand, not wanting to become the target of public criticism.

"No, please don't misunderstand."

Yuncheng and I are just good classmates.

Once, during a school field trip, he accidentally fell into the river, and I pulled him out with a tree branch.

That's why he treated me a little differently, but it was all normal behavior between friends.

This is also a good opportunity to clarify something.

It saves those gossipy women in the team from having to whisper and chatter whenever they see her; it's so annoying.

Before Ji Shuyin could say anything, Zhao Yuexiang's eyes lit up.

"Really, there's really nothing between you two?"

"Of course, after all, I am Yuncheng's savior."

It's normal that he treats me differently.

Some people just have malicious intentions when they speculate about things.

The implication was so obvious that even Ji Shuyin found it somewhat distasteful.

"You don't need to be so sarcastic. We've known each other for a long time."

If it weren't for Gu Yuncheng, what benefits do you think you could get from me?
Putting everything else aside, isn't that floral dress you're wearing borrowed from me?

She stared coldly at him, wanting to see how this person would continue to cause trouble.

If you want to get rid of other people's bad impressions, you have to put in some real effort.

Sure enough, Tang Weiyu's expression turned sour for a moment.

"Why are you saying that? I already gave you 150 yuan back then, so these things naturally belong to me."

"What do you mean by bringing this up again now?"

Haha, not too stupid, you still remember the accounts!

"However, I remember you said you took 650 yuan and asked me to find you a job."

Now they're saying 150, how much is it exactly?

"You can't just open and close your mouth and say whatever you want, can you?"

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, just waiting for the other person to crawl into the trap!

"No, it was five hundred yuan to buy the job, and the remaining one hundred and fifty is what I'm returning to you."

"It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten?"

See? When they wanted to control her before, they were all talk and no action. But now that other interests are involved, they're all talking a good game.

"You mean this 150 yuan is the money you returned to me?"

Tang Weiyu nodded almost subconsciously, naturally trying not to let others sense that she was someone who liked to take advantage of others.

"Yes!"

"If that's the case, what does it have to do with the clothes you're wearing?"

It's only right that you pay me back the money you borrowed from me.

But it's normal for people to return borrowed items!

Anyway, no one will know the specifics, and even if you explain it to the heavens, she will still be right.

"But didn't I already convert all these things into money and return them to you?"

Tang Weiyu had planned everything meticulously, but she hadn't expected Ji Shuyin to act so shamelessly, wanting to take all the clothes back!
No, she absolutely couldn't let them have their way.

"Where's the evidence?"

When she reached out her hand, the other person was dumbfounded.

"Evidence?"

"Yeah, you're just making things up and you think you can just take everything you say as gospel!"
Since you said you'd return all the items to me in cash, you should at least provide proof.

Otherwise, why would anyone believe you? Having received the signal, Huang Chunjing wasn't stupid and immediately started to agree.

"I think she doesn't have it; she's just trying to scam you out of this dress!"

Her voice was drawn out, making it very intriguing.

The other person's face turned pale and then flushed, and he had long lost his composure from before.

In my dream, I was actually defeated by such a stupid and clumsy person. How humiliating!

“Who says I have no evidence? Yuncheng was there at the time. We can ask him. He can testify for me.”

Realizing this, she seemed to have grasped at a lifeline and became smug again.

Ji Shuyin clapped her hands slowly and deliberately, while shaking her head.

"Okay, let's go ask Gu Yuncheng then."

He's even willing to give you his fiancée's dowry and engagement tokens.

How could I possibly refuse such a small request from my savior!

Her face showed a faint sense of helplessness, but what others heard was a completely different story.

Tang Weiyu glanced at Zhao Yuexiang beside her, and was also somewhat excited.

"You're talking nonsense. It was clearly agreed upon at the time."

I trust you, and I haven't asked you to draw up any documents for me.

If I had known you were so untrustworthy, I really should have been more careful around you.

"And that jade pendant, Yuncheng already bought it for me, and you accepted the 300 yuan, so why bring it up again!"

She wanted to use this accusation to make everyone think that Ji Shuyin was scheming, and at the same time, she pretended to be wronged to gain some sympathy from everyone.

To everyone's surprise, Ji Shuyin didn't respond at all, but instead looked at Zhao Yuexiang next to her.

Did you hear that?

Gu Yuncheng gave her our engagement gift, and when I found out, he actually paid for it out of his own pocket and bought it back.

Now, do you still think their relationship is just that of ordinary saviors?

Three hundred yuan, that's three hundred yuan!
In rural areas, that's enough to find a wife, give a bride price, and hold a wedding banquet.

Gu Yuncheng actually gave it to him without hesitation.

Even in the city, this is a huge expense!
A look of doubt appeared in Zhao Yuexiang's eyes.

"Shuyin, why do you say such things?"

You deliberately misled everyone; you're incredibly cunning!

Everyone remembered what happened on the first day; how could she possibly change things with just a few words?
"Alright, I'm not blind, I can see with my eyes."

If you two are truly innocent, how could Gu Yuncheng have been fired from the machinery factory for having illicit relationships?

"Further words are pointless; after all, the eyes of the masses are discerning, aren't you right, Comrade Zhao Yuexiang?"

Miss Zhao also felt that it was somewhat unusual that the name was mentioned so specifically.

She disliked Ji Shuyin, and also felt that Tang Weiyu was unlikable.

"Hmph, you city folks are all cunning and shrewd. How would I know what's really going on?"

After saying that, he actually grabbed the person next to him and fled from this hellish scene.

Alright, we've already built up the hype to this point, so there's no need for further discussion.

Tang Weiyu was somewhat unwilling and called out twice, but the other party completely ignored her.

"Are you satisfied?"

Oh dear, are they not even pretending anymore?

"What's there to be satisfied with about this dress? It cost fifteen dollars back then."

Although I've worn it a few times, it's still about 90% new.

"Today, will you take it off and return it to me, or will you just buy it? My dear Tang Weiyu, the educated youth, the choice is yours..."
