This startled Liu Yifeng. "Hey, what are you doing? I haven't done anything to you, so stop faking it."
"My stomach hurts so badly, it's all your fault. You threatened to call the police, and it scared me so much that my stomach started hurting." Wu Qian clutched her abdomen, her expression still one of great pain.
Liu Yifeng didn't believe she was that fragile. It was obvious she just wanted to threaten him into letting her see Lu Fei.
If Lu Fei were the only one in his family, it would be one thing, but he also had his parents. If they found out about this, they certainly wouldn't be able to accept it.
The older generation held very traditional views.
Who could accept their son marrying a woman who had an abortion for someone else? If Lu Fei brought her home, his parents would be devastated.
Just then, quite a few villagers gathered at the doorway.
They didn't know the whole story and thought Liu Yifeng and his son were bullying this woman. They were all whispering to each other.
Seeing that they misunderstood him, Liu Yifeng immediately said, "How long are you going to keep this up? Since you say your stomach hurts, I'll call 120 for you and let them give you a thorough check-up!"
As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed 120. Just as he was about to make the call, Wu Qian stopped him. "Don't call. I can bear it.
Please, just take me to see Lu Fei. All I want is to speak to him in person. Lu Fei loves me so much, can you really bear to see us separated?"
"Isn't this woman a bit thick-skinned? Lu Fei does love you, but that's under the assumption that he doesn't know you've been deceiving him.
Now that you've done something so shameless, do you still expect Lu Fei to love you?
I advise you not to humiliate yourself further. Go back quickly, otherwise, even if you see Lu Fei, he won't forgive you." Liu Yifeng put down his phone with a grim expression.
"Yifeng, what are you two talking about? What's this about being shameless?
What did this woman do that Lu Fei is avoiding her? Didn't he seem to like her a lot last time?" Liu Chunsheng felt like he was listening to a riddle.
"Dad, you don't need to ask about this. In short, Lu Fei has broken up with her, and I won't take her to Lu Fei's house." Liu Yifeng wasn't keeping it from his father to save the woman's face, but to save Lu Fei's face.
Village women were particularly gossipy, like an intelligence network that could spread news for miles around.
Once the news got out that Lu Fei's girlfriend had cheated on him and was pregnant with another man's child, he would never be able to hold his head up again.
Therefore, with so many elders gathered at the door, he absolutely couldn't reveal this.
Seeing that Yifeng wouldn't say, Liu Chunsheng didn't press further. Instead, he turned his gaze to Wu Qian. "Young lady, you should go back. Since Lu Fei doesn't want to see you, why make things difficult for my son? He's not related to you, and you have no right to ask him to take you to see Lu Fei!"
Wu Qian hadn't expected that even after saying all this, they still wouldn't take her to see Lu Fei. She immediately pulled out a fruit knife from her bag and threatened them by holding it to her wrist. "You won't take me? Fine, then I'll die right here. So many people are watching, I'll die because you forced me to."
Her emotions seemed very agitated, and the knife on her wrist looked like it could cut through her artery at any moment.
"Don't be rash. That life is your own, how can you treat it so lightly!" Liu Yifeng quickly tried to placate her, fearing she might do something foolish on his doorstep.
Wu Qian continued to hold the knife to her wrist. "I can't think of anything else anymore. Will you take me to see Lu Fei or not? I'll give you one minute to consider. If you don't, I'll kill myself in front of everyone, right here at your doorstep."
The people at the door immediately started persuading Liu Yifeng. "This girl is about to commit suicide, hurry up and take her to see him! If something happens, you can't escape responsibility."
"It's not worth getting yourself into trouble for someone else's problem."
Liu Yifeng knew the seriousness of the situation. If Wu Qian really cut her wrist at his doorstep, he would be implicated.
After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Calm down. I know you just want to see Lu Fei. It doesn't matter where you meet.
How about I call him and ask him to come over? Can you talk things through face-to-face then?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qian nodded repeatedly with agitation. "Yes, yes, okay!"
Liu Yifeng then called Lu Fei and explained that Wu Qian had come to his house looking for him.
Lu Fei's eyes immediately widened. "What? This woman came to your house looking for me? And she's threatening to kill herself to get you to take her to me? Has she lost her mind?
She's pregnant with another man's child and comes back wanting to reconcile with me. Do I look that much like a fool?"
"Don't say so much for now, just come over quickly and settle this once and for all. Otherwise, she'll just stay at my house and not leave. If something serious happens, I'll be incredibly unlucky!" Liu Yifeng said.
Lu Fei immediately looked a bit embarrassed. "Yifeng, I'm sorry. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken her to Qiangzi's son's tenth birthday party last time. She wouldn't have known your place and wouldn't have done such a scary thing here."
"We're brothers, there's no need for apologies.
However, this woman is a bit extreme. Handle this properly later, and don't push her to death. Otherwise, her family might try to extort us." Liu Yifeng reminded him.
Lu Fei nodded in understanding. "I understand. Tell her to wait for me for about ten minutes. I'll ride my electric bike over."
After speaking, he hung up the phone and rode his parents' electric bike away from home.
"You can put the knife down now. Lu Fei has agreed to come and see you." After talking to Lu Fei, Liu Yifeng looked at Wu Qian.
Wu Qian then took the knife away from her wrist, but she still held it tightly in her right hand, looking as though she might resort to using her life as a threat again.
"Everyone, this is a private matter between my friends. Please disperse now. There's nothing more to see!" Liu Yifeng turned his gaze to the seven or eight elders gathered outside the door.
Lu Fei would be arriving soon, and what he said might not be under his control. It would be bad if these people heard it.
Although they were reluctant to leave, wanting to know what had happened to make this woman threaten her life,
since Yifeng had said so, they didn't want to be rude and stay, so they dispersed one by one.
"Young lady, you should sit on a chair and wait. Lu Fei will be here soon!" Liu Chunsheng brought Wu Qian a bamboo chair.
Wu Qian, who was sitting on the ground, was indeed a bit uncomfortable and got up to sit on the chair.
"Uncle Liu, I didn't want to do this. It was just that your son refused to take me to see Lu Fei, so I resorted to this. Don't worry, once I see Lu Fei and he forgives me, I certainly won't cause any trouble for your family."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifeng immediately became displeased. "What do you mean by that? Are you planning to burden us if Lu Fei doesn't forgive you?"
