Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Confrontation
Xu Ying, quick-witted, cursed at Dong Wenzhong furiously, "Dong Wenzhong, you're not much to look at, but quite full of yourself. Just look at your pole-like figure and that tacky outfit you've carefully dressed up in.
I want to vomit just looking at you. I must have been blind to fancy a pretty boy like you, who never thinks about working hard but just wants to mooch off women.
In my life, I've never met a man as shameless as you. Please, do me a favor and take a detour when you see me next time, or I'm afraid I might throw up whatever I've eaten."
Dong Wenzhong trembled all over with rage, his teeth gnashing, "Xu Ying, you've got nerve. If you're so capable, don't come looking for me."
"Pfft, as if I care! Die, you white lotus." After saying that, Xu Ying snorted coldly, lifted her head high, and swaggered off.
But Dong Wenzhong was so infuriated by her insult—calling him a dead white lotus—he nearly passed out.
This despicable woman, if it weren't for her father being the team leader, he wouldn't even bother giving her a glance.
She dared to humiliate him like that; he would definitely not let this despicable woman off the hook.
Angry and fuming, Dong Wenzhong went back to the Youth Corps.
Just as he reached the entrance, Chen Yanran ran out from somewhere, chasing after him, "Brother Wen Zhong, did you sort it out with Xu Ying? What did she say about this matter?"
Dong Wenzhong took a deep breath, suppressing the anger he had just felt before saying, "Xu Ying's being unreasonable this time, not listening to me at all.
I'm afraid this won't be easy to deal with, sigh."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanran's face turned instantly pale, and she looked unsteadily at Dong Wenzhong, "Brother Wen Zhong, if Xu Ying doesn't acknowledge that I'm her life-saving benefactor,
how can I face anyone in the future? I'd rather be dead."
After saying that, Chen Yanran was about to throw herself against the wall nearby.
Dong Wenzhong, quick on his feet, swiftly grabbed her arm, "Yanran, what are you doing? With me here, there's no way you'll carry that blame."
Chen Yanran's eyes flickered with curiosity as she looked at Dong Wenzhong, "Brother Wen Zhong, but what can we do if Xu Ying refuses to recognize me as her lifesaver?"
Xu Ying, that despicable woman, for some reason not even listening to Brother Wen Zhong's words anymore.
When Dong Wenzhong thought of Xu Ying, and how she had spoken to him just now, his face turned a bit awkward, "When the time comes, you just stick to your story, thinking that the team leader would be grateful to you for bringing Xu Ying back.
After all, if it weren't for your timely help, Xu Ying would have probably burned to death by now. As for who rescued her from the river, just say you don't know."
This was the only way to salvage something from the situation now.
Such a young age, and not learning good things, but only deceit and treachery.
The villagers of Xujia Village were known for their honesty; they didn't harbor such malicious intentions.
Chen Yanran felt uneasy when she saw Lu Daya.
Then she straightened up, her gaze clear as she said, "Team leader, I always thought you were a person of great understanding. I never expected I was mistaken.
"The day I brought Xu Ying back, you kept thanking me. Did I ever say I was the one who rescued Xu Ying from the river?
"I never said that. It was you who kept thanking me, and I thought you were grateful because I carried Xu Ying back. If I'd known you misunderstood, I would have made it clear right then."
After hearing this, Xu Jian Country, who was usually unflappable, became visibly unsettled. He had not expected Chen Zhiqing to be such an actress.
What she said earlier wasn't just about bringing his daughter back!
Lu Daya, who had something to say, suddenly found herself without the chance to speak. What was going on?
"Chen Zhiqing, when my dad asked you, you said it was you who rescued me from the river. If it was just about carrying me back, why didn't you clarify in the morning when you were asked to swim in the river?" Xu Ying eyed her accusingly.
As if the morning's events had never happened.
"Yes, I remember Chen Zhiqing also said this morning that she was the one who rescued Xu Ying from the river, didn't she?" a female Youth Corps member said.
Upon hearing that voice, Chen Yanran became furiously angry: "Zhang Qiuling, stop spouting nonsense. I never mentioned this matter outside."
"Then where did you say it?"
"I said it at the team leader's house," Chen Yanran blurted out.
Realizing what she had confessed, Chen Yanran's face turned deathly pale; she had just incriminated herself without further questioning.
Xu Ying raised an eyebrow, full of anger: "Chen Zhiqing, I truly didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless woman. I treated you so sincerely before.
"The person who saved me was clearly Lu Daya, yet you wanted to claim the credit out of self-interest, hoping my dad would help you. A really calculating move.
"Now that you've been exposed, you still refuse to repent and look for excuses to deny it. Truly shameless."
"No, I really did help you. If I hadn't carried you back, you would've burned to death," Chen Yanran replied in a panic, overwhelmed by the counterattack.
Tears streamed down her cheeks; how did Xu Ying become so articulate all of a sudden?
Men might fall for Chen Yanran's act, but women weren't fooled and instead felt disgusted.
