Free Web NovelChapter 499: Chapter 495: Vehement Refusal
Xu Wenwan: ...
She was furious!!!
She couldn’t stand seeing Gu Jiaojiao doing well, especially with that face of hers, which was identical to her cousin’s.
The moment she first saw her, she was in a daze, thinking the person standing there wasn’t the female side-character from the book but her cousin in the flesh.
Xu Wenwan walked behind Yun Hao, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Jiaojiao, her expression one of deep-seated hatred.
Village Chief Xu frowned deeply. He hadn’t expected his daughter’s affection for Leng Yuan to reach this point, where she couldn’t even tolerate Gu Jiaojiao.
Chen Xiumin was absolutely livid.
She truly regretted giving birth to this daughter, who did nothing but cause embarrassment. It was one thing on a normal day, but now she had actually fallen for a married man and still had the nerve to glare at Gu Jiaojiao. Chen Xiumin was so ashamed she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan also looked grim.
The two brothers had a good relationship with Leng Yuan. Now their younger sister had actually developed a crush on him and was even targeting his wife. They simply couldn’t face Leng Yuan.
The people around were also staring at Xu Wenwan.
They had heard rumors that Xu Wenwan wanted to seduce Leng Yuan and had always assumed they were false. But seeing her today, with a look in her eyes that wanted to tear Gu Jiaojiao to shreds, they wondered—had love turned to hate?
The blazing fire of gossip ignited in everyone’s hearts.
Xu Wenwan felt baffled as everyone stared at her. ’What’s wrong with these people? Why are they all staring at me like that?’
’Could it be I’ve gotten even more beautiful recently?’
In the past, she had been jealous of her cousin’s face. Although their fathers were brothers, her cousin was stunningly beautiful—the epitome of the pale, rich, and beautiful ideal. She, on the other hand, had plain features and would be completely ignored in a crowd.
But she refused to accept this, so she had used her uncle’s connections to frequently attend parties, where she met many rich heirs.
She dated quite a few, but nothing ever worked out. Instead, she had ruined her body and could no longer get pregnant.
’If I’d had a face like this before I transmigrated into the book, how could those rich heirs possibly have rejected me?’
Xu Wenwan narcissistically caressed her face, then noticed that Yun Hao, who was in front of her, had stopped.
Xu Wenwan walked forward and sat on the bicycle’s rear rack.
It was a custom in the Qingshan Team that on the wedding day, the groom would bring the bride home on his bicycle. This act alone served as the wedding procession.
Both Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan knew this custom.
It had been snowing so heavily that riding a bike should have been impossible. But many hands make light work; the Xu Family and the people from the educated youth station had long since swept the road between the two homes completely clean.
They had made sure there wasn’t a single pebble on the road.
So, the two of them still followed custom, with the groom taking the bride home by bicycle.
Yun Hao waited for Xu Wenwan to get settled, then pushed down hard on a pedal, and the bicycle started moving.
Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan were watching the spectacle from the sidelines. As the bicycle passed them, Yun Hao couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Gu Jiaojiao.
The only reason he was so willing to marry Xu Wenwan today was to show Gu Jiaojiao that he was much better than Leng Yuan—that he was the one who could give her happiness.
As for Leng Yuan, he was completely unworthy of Gu Jiaojiao.
One day, he would make Gu Jiaojiao see that.
Just as he was thinking this, the bicycle’s wheel suddenly dropped into a small pit. The handlebars twisted, and in an instant, the two of them, bike and all, crashed hard onto the ground.
The Xu Family: ...
The crowd: ...
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
Village Chief Xu was mortified. But this was his daughter, and he couldn’t just ignore her. He immediately shot his two sons a meaningful look.
Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan understood at once. Though deeply reluctant, they still hurried forward to help the pair up.
