Chapter 213: Chapter 212: Su Ling Turns Back (Additional Content)
"Isn’t that right? Oh, by the way, Xiao Ling, I noticed Mr. Li hanging around you a lot lately. You better be careful not to get fooled by him. As they say, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. We all need to be careful," Yin Peibai said to Su Ling.
Seeing her pale face, she quickly nodded, probably taking it to heart. Lin Wan and Yin Peibai exchanged knowing glances. This visit was worth it.
While Lin Wan was plotting against Ye Qing, over there Ye Qing was also scheming against Lin Wan.
"This month, no matter what method you use, you must deal with that woman Lin Wan for me." In the darkness, Ye Qing looked at the outstretched hand of Li Liang, a flicker of disdain in her eyes as she discreetly avoided it.
"That woman is too prickly, she looks hard to handle. If it goes wrong, I might ruin my reputation. It’s not worth it," Li Liang, who was always cautious with women, said. Otherwise, his affairs would have been the talk of the campus long ago, and he would have been in trouble already.
"You’re scared now, but back when you forced yourself on me, you weren’t afraid. If you don’t help me, believe me, I’ll expose your secrets. If I don’t get my way, you won’t have a good end either." Ye Qing’s vicious words left Li Liang somewhat apprehensive.
"You..."
"Do whatever you think best," Ye Qing said, turning to leave for the school without looking back.
Li Liang watched her back, cursing inwardly. Back when he went to the countryside as a young intellectual and repressed his desires for years, that night he had a bit to drink after watching a movie and laid eyes on Ye Qing. Remembering how Ye Qing used to belittle him, resentment bubbled up, and seeing she was alone, he harbored ill intentions.
Unexpectedly, years later, this woman had been accepted to the school where he was.
At that time, he didn’t cover his face during the incident, and within less than a month of arriving there, the woman recognized him.
He feared Ye Qing would expose the matter, and when she approached him, he appeased her with various benefits.
That’s how he managed her. Through multiple interactions, Li Liang figured out this woman’s temperament. Despicable as she was, everything was easy with money.
But he didn’t expect her to seek him out to harm another woman. Lin Wan was beautiful, and he felt a slight itch for her, but women with thorns were hard to handle.
There were plenty of beautiful women, and he wasn’t worried about finding a softer one. He didn’t want to take that risk. Besides, that Su Ling wasn’t bad either, and he was close to winning her over, so he didn’t want to waste his efforts.
Speaking of Su Ling, though she seemed gentle, she wasn’t easy to bully. Those familiar with Su Ling knew she was quite fierce. Normally when with strangers, she appeared easygoing, with her soft demeanor. But in reality, it was quite the opposite.
After separating from Lin Wan and Yin Peibai, Su Ling quietly went over to confirm if it was indeed Li Liang.
It wasn’t long before Li Liang’s face was clearly visible under the moonlight before her.
Su Ling’s fiancé’s family was well-off, a scholarly family. Although they suffered some persecution back then, their family secretly preserved many good things. Now they were all reinstated to their original positions.
Her family’s conditions weren’t bad either. They used to be in business and lived a privileged life from a young age. Later, her parents both joined a factory and had a say there.
Su Ling had worked as a young intellectual for a few years, and after returning, her parents got her a job at a textile factory. These years had delayed her education, so after marrying into her husband’s family, they supported her in studying.
That’s why she enrolled in night school. Once she got her graduation certificate, she could advance her position in the factory.
Su Ling went to Liuxiang Street the next day to inquire, and indeed, as Lin Wan said, after returning to the city, Li Liang obeyed his family’s arrangement and married the neighbor’s daughter.
