Free Web NovelChapter 466: Chapter 462: Hurry and Go After Her
Li Hongmei was stunned.
Her mind was completely filled with a single sentence: Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao are getting married.
Hu Ziqiang’s spot was right next to Li Hongmei. When he saw her taking up the space of two people, he couldn’t help but speak up.
"Li Hongmei, what’s wrong with you?"
He’d worked all day and was starving. What was Li Hongmei doing, blocking the way like this?
’Don’t tell me she heard Yun Hao is getting married and now she wants to marry me!’
"Li Hongmei, don’t be like this. You can’t force matters of the heart."
His stance had always been clear. He didn’t like Li Hongmei, so of course he wasn’t going to marry her.
Li Hongmei was also highly emotional. She turned, gave him a look with reddened eyes, shoved him, and ran out of the Educated Youth Point.
Seeing this, everyone spared Hu Ziqiang an extra glance.
When Chen Ruoyu saw Li Hongmei run off while Hu Ziqiang just stood there looking foolish, she couldn’t help but speak up.
"Hu Ziqiang, what are you just standing there for? Go after her!"
The man had no tact at all. Who says "you can’t force matters of the heart" during an argument?
Hu Ziqiang, who had just been glared at and shoved, was already feeling sullen. Hearing Chen Ruoyu’s words, he couldn’t help but point to himself in surprise.
"Me? Go after her?"
"Who else!" Chen Ruoyu stared at him intently.
It wasn’t just Chen Ruoyu. Everyone at the Educated Youth Point, aside from Yun Hao, was staring at him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Hu Ziqiang couldn’t help but wonder if what he’d just said had been too heartless.
He was a man, after all. Maybe he really should go and explain things clearly to Li Hongmei.
Glancing at the food on the table, Hu Ziqiang forced himself to turn and chase after Li Hongmei.
Unable to accept the fact that Yun Hao was getting married, Li Hongmei stumbled out of the Educated Youth Point alone. She picked a random direction and just ran, with no idea where she was going.
When she grew tired of running, she saw a rock and squatted down on it, crying.
It wasn’t actually that late, only around five in the afternoon, so the sky was still bright.
When Gu Jiaojiao had gone out during the day, she’d had a clip in her hair. It wasn’t anything valuable, but it was convenient for holding her hair back. Plus, it was hard to buy such things in the countryside, so she decided to go out and look for it herself.
Leng Yuan was making dinner, so Gu Jiaojiao went out by herself.
She was just trying her luck. If she really couldn’t find it, then so be it.
Gu Jiaojiao made her way to the riverbank. She figured the clip must have fallen out when she was beating up Chen Shulan, her movements having been too vigorous.
She meticulously scanned the ground, not missing a single spot.
Just then, a low cry, accompanied by the sound of sobbing, came from the riverbank.
Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but stand up and look around, but she didn’t see a single soul.
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
Even though it was broad daylight, there was no one else around. The faint sound in her ears was a little creepy.
She hugged herself tightly and heard a few more sobs.
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
’Could it be a ghost?!’
’Are ghosts these days really that bold? Daring to cause trouble in broad daylight?’
She got a little scared. Forgetting about the clip, she turned to leave.
But after just two steps, she felt something wasn’t right.
’Come to think of it, I’ve been a ghost before. What’s so scary about them? It’s not like they can actually hurt anyone.’
She absolutely refused to believe that ghosts could kill people. So many people in this world had died unjustly. If vengeful spirits could really claim lives, what would be the point of laws? What would be the point of talking about justice?
In any case, since ghosts had no real power to harm, Gu Jiaojiao was no longer afraid.
