Honest Beta gets scammed

Overwhelmed by grievance and exhaustion, He Xiangchen's vision blurred.

The young master was extremely aggrieved.

He has had a smooth life since childhood, and everyone in his family spoils him.

Now he's lowered himself and eagerly come to this kind of place, only to be met with a cold shoulder.

They were talking perfectly fine the day before yesterday, why did they suddenly turn out like this?

He Xiangchen felt a sudden sting in his nose and his eyes welled up with tears.

He felt that all the grievances he had suffered in his life had been borne by Li Qing.

The courtyard was dimly lit, and the light in the main room couldn't illuminate his slightly reddened eyes, but his hoarse voice couldn't be concealed by the darkness.

"I came to find you because you suddenly left, without any apparent reason."

"Why did you do this? I've said everything I needed to say, and I've apologized to you... Are what I did really so unforgivable? Even if you're still angry, you don't have to just leave like that."

He Xiangchen tried his best to calm himself down, not wanting to make himself look too bad.

Even so, even if Li Qing couldn't see his expression, he could still tell from his voice...

He Xiangchen looked like he was about to cry.

It's someone I still like.

With He Xiangchen acting this way, Li Qing couldn't bring himself to say those harsh words.

He clenched his teeth, his nose stung, and a warm feeling welled up in his eyes.

But he didn't want to be a laughing stock anymore. Hadn't He Xiangchen pretended enough over the past six months?

Li Qing took a deep breath, forcing back her tears, her voice trembling slightly.

"You don't need to play the victim with me like this. I won't fall for it again. I saw the security footage. You were the one who kidnapped me, weren't you?"

The mention of the word "surveillance" immediately brought something to He Xiangchen's mind.

His heart tightened, but upon hearing Li Qing's misunderstanding, he hurriedly took two steps forward and shook his head frantically.

"No! I didn't kidnap you! I came to rescue you!"

Seeing Li Qing's disbelief, He Xiangchen became even more agitated: "It's true! I can bring him here for a confrontation! That person's name is Yan Wenyu, he did it, I just went to bring you out!"

As Li Qing watched him approach, she took a large step back, widening the distance between them once again.

"Okay, if the kidnapping wasn't you, then that pervert... it must have been you, right?"

The courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

He Xiangchen opened his mouth, but it was as if his neck had been choked, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He could explain Yan Wenyu's actions, but he couldn't deny the despicable things he had done.

Now it was He Xiangchen's turn to fall silent.

Seeing him like this, Li Qing felt a sudden pang of distress.

Li Qing looked away and spoke with a nasal tone.

"When you see me being so grateful to you and then say you want to be with me, what are you thinking?"

"Don't you think I'm funny?"

"No!"

He Xiangchen shook his head violently.

"No! I've never found you ridiculous, I just... I just like..."

Don't try that on me!

Li Qing interrupted him: "I'm not listening to your nonsense anymore!"

He looked at He Xiangchen, his chest heaving, and finally his tone became low.

"You're good-looking and rich, but there are plenty of Betas like me out there. You don't necessarily have to be me, do you?"

"If you really feel bad about me, then don't come looking for me. My parents are old and can't stand you sneaking up the wall in the middle of the night and scaring them like that."

After speaking, Li Qing went inside and then faced He Xiangchen against the light.

"Please don't come again, I'm begging you."

"Bang."

The door closed.

He Xiangchen stood frozen in place.

He stood in the courtyard, his features still stunning, his clothes still expensive, but at this moment he looked as if he were covered in a layer of dust, disheveled and gloomy.

He lowered his head, opened his mouth, remained silent for a long time, and then murmured the interrupted words into the air.

"...I just like you. I've admitted it, but I'm afraid you won't be with me anymore. I feel like this is an opportunity..."

Li Qing didn't hear it.

Even if they heard it, they probably wouldn't believe it.

He stood frozen for a long time, until the night wind blew through his clothes, before slowly turning around, walking to the courtyard gate, unlatching it, going out, and gently closing the gate behind him.

Outside the courtyard.

A car was parked at the entrance.

He Xiangchen opened the car door and silently sat in the back seat.

Xu Shi, sitting in the driver's seat, finally saw his boss get out and asked, "Boss, shall we go to the nearest hotel?"

"……Um."

This sound doesn't seem right.

Xu Shi was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.

In the back seat, He Xiangchen's eyes were red and glistening with tears, as if they were about to fall at any moment.

Xu Shi quickly averted his gaze, keeping his eyes down and not daring to breathe.

Li Qingniu Pi.

Not daring to utter a word, he quickly started the car and drove away from Licun.

inside the house.

Li Qing leaned against the door, listening to the sound of a car engine starting up outside, gradually fading into the distance.

I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally, after just one debate.

Li Qing walked to the table, poured himself a glass of cold water, and gulped it down.

After finishing his water, Li Qing noticed that the door to his parents' room wasn't closed properly, leaving a crack. It was dark inside, and the lights weren't on. But Li Qing knew that the old couple had definitely been eavesdropping.

My already troubled mood was even more chaotic.

Li Qing didn't want to explain anything. He pretended not to see the crack in the door and turned back to his room.

After closing the door, Li Qing collapsed onto the bed.

He stared at the dark ceiling, and a tear finally slid down his cheek. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it away haphazardly and rubbed his face vigorously.

Now, it's really over between him and He Xiangchen.

Li Qing closed her eyes, forcing herself not to think about that face.

It's okay, Li Qing, don't be sad.

At least you didn't lose money; you still have almost a million in your account. You made a fortune.

Trying to hypnotize himself, Li Qing tossed and turned in bed until he finally drifted off to sleep just before dawn.

However, the reality the next morning was not as he had imagined.

Last night, Li Qing's emotions fluctuated too much, and her biological clock hadn't been adjusted yet, so she woke up late again this day.

When he opened his eyes, it was long past the normal time for rural work.

He was in a daze, struggled to get out of bed, and slipped on his slippers to go out of the room to wash up.

The weather was perfect in the courtyard.

Unlike the capital, my hometown isn't unbearably hot even halfway through autumn; it's true autumn there.

Li Qing walked to the tap, squeezed on toothpaste, and brushed her teeth.

As he was brushing, he suddenly stopped and perked up his ears.

"Auntie, these chickens are so well raised, their feathers are so shiny. What do you usually feed them?"

"Oh dear, I'm just feeding him some corn grits mixed with some vegetable leaves. Xiang Chen, could you move over there? It's a bit dirty over there."

"It's alright, Auntie, I'll help you."

It's a ghost!

Li Qing quickly rinsed his mouth, spat out the foam, went around the main room, and hurried to the backyard.

Near the chicken coop not far away.

He Xiangchen, holding a broken plastic basin, stood in the chicken coop reeking of chicken droppings, scattering corn husks as he chatted enthusiastically with his mother.
