“Daniu, there’s actually no reason for him to do this. It’s just that he didn’t meet her before. Su Yufang is already engaged. She shouldn’t have anything to do with Xu Bowen. I guess Su Yufang was the one who took the initiative today. Xu Bowen was just a willing party.”
Su Xiaoling calmly analyzed and explained to Chen Daniu.
Su Xiaoling said, “Daniu, such things are really rare.”
Su Yufang was already engaged, so such a thing shouldn’t have happened.
Even if Xu Bowen had the intention, he should restrain himself. It could be tomorrow or the day after. He would never do anything out of line on such an occasion. Therefore, when this happened, it could only be Su Yufang taking the initiative to seduce him. Xu Bowen did not have the willpower. Su Yufang laid the bait, and Xu Bowen was willing to take the bait.”!!
“I’m guessing that Su Yufang was jealous that you could get engaged to Xu Bowen on the spur of the moment. Su Yufang is a very arrogant person. She thinks she’s better than you, but the family she’s engaged to is just an ordinary family. They farm and hunt for a living. Xu Bowen is a scholar, and he’s very likely to become an Elementary Scholar or even something better. That’s why Su Yufang risked everything to do this.”
“Daniu, whether Su Yufang deliberately seduced him or not, it proves that Xu Bowen doesn’t have a bottom line. He’s someone who’s not worth trusting. Don’t make things difficult for yourself for such a person. It’s not worth it.”
Su Xiaoling grabbed Chen Daniu’s hand and shook her head at her.
It wasn’t worth it. It really wasn’t.
Chen Erniu gritted her teeth. “This Xu Bowen is too despicable. And Su Yufang is too shameless. How can she do this?”
Chen Daniu’s expression darkened. What Su Xiaoling said made sense, but she was so sad.
Su Yufang wanted to marry well, and so did she.
She’d been looking forward to this, and all at once, it had come to nothing. She felt as if the sky had collapsed on her. Embarrassed and miserable. She didn’t even know how to live or how to face it.
Chen Erniu’s eyes were red and she was about to cry. She held Chen Daniu’s hand and said, “Sister, don’t be like this. Don’t torture yourself like this for a scumbag.”
Su Xiaoling also comforted her. “Daniu, believe me, it’s really not worth it for such a person.”
Chen Daniu pulled her hand away from Su Xiaoling and Chen Erniu. She hugged her knees and lowered her eyes to look at the weeds by the roadside. She did not speak and no one knew what she was thinking.
Only tears fell. Su Xiaoling and Chen Erniu were worried about her.
At this moment, Su Xiaolu arrived.
Su Xiaoling asked Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, how is it over there?”
Instantly, Chen Daniu also looked at Su Xiaolu. With just a glance, she hugged her knees and lowered her eyes to look at the ground again.
Both Su Xiaoling and Chen Erniu knew that Chen Daniu wanted to know what happened next.
Su Xiaolu said, “That scumbag admitted it. He said that he would take responsibility for Su Yufang and was chased out by Uncle and Auntie Hu. Now, their family has gone to the Su family to discuss.”
“This is abominable!”
Chen Erniu clenched her fists in anger.
Su Xiaoling sighed.
Chen Daniu’s eyes darkened. She looked up at Su Xiaolu and asked, “Xiaolu, don’t they have an explanation for me?”
She had been inexplicably humiliated. Didn’t she deserve an explanation?
Without any explanation, they couldn’t wait to discuss his marriage with Su Yufang. What was this?
What did he take her for? How could she live with herself in the future!
Su Xiaolu shook her head and said, “They didn’t say anything. They didn’t even apologize. They even asked for the gifts back. Uncle Hu was so angry.”
Su Xiaolu continued, “Big Sister Daniu, you’re the victim in this matter. Uncle and Auntie Hu are too kind. They might not want to make a big deal out of it and embarrass you and cause you more harm. I think you should seek justice for yourself. Otherwise, they might smear you and make people forget the nature of the matter.”
“They’ve gone too far. This is clearly their fault. They should be apologizing to my sister!”
Chen Erniu said indignantly.
She was about to explode when she heard that. How could such a thing happen? But when she thought about it, Xu Bowen hugged and kissed Su Yufang today. He had done such an unbelievable thing. Was there anything he couldn’t do?
“Sis, let’s go back. We can’t just let this go. We have to get an explanation,” Chen Erniu said.
Su Xiaoling also said to Chen Daniu, “Daniu, this is not your fault. No matter what, the Xu family should apologize to you. They should apologize to Uncle Hu and Auntie. We can’t just let this go.”
Chen Daniu also calmed down. She was not stupid. After thinking about it carefully, she understood the pros and cons.
It was not just about whether Xu Bowen would marry her. This was about her entire family.
It was about how others would view her family and her younger sister and brother in the future.
Chen Daniu wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “Let’s go home. I’ll tell Father and Mother that Xu Bowen can marry someone else, but he has to apologize to our family. Otherwise, this matter will not be over.”
Chen Daniu looked at Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling gratefully and said, “Xiaolu, Xiaoling, thank you.”
If Su Xiaoling hadn’t analyzed it for her, she would only lie to herself. This would only make her feel even sadder.
If Su Xiaolu hadn’t reminded her that she should ask for an explanation, she probably wouldn’t have thought about that and would only let this matter pass. However, the consequences would only be that her reputation would be tainted. She would be abandoned by others and her sister would be despised. If she wasn’t good, how good could her sister be? As a result, even her younger brother would be affected.
A family was always bound together for good or ill.
“Let’s go and seek justice for you.”
Su Xiaoling smiled and looked at her firmly.
It was a good thing that Chen Daniu could calm down so quickly. This matter had to be resolved in time and could not be delayed.
If the Xu family did not give them an explanation today, they could forget about leaving.
Su Xiaolu waved her fist and said with a smile, “Big Sister Daniu, don’t be afraid. Big Brother and I have strong fists. It’s not difficult to beat their family.”
Chen Daniu chuckled, and a warm feeling seemed to spread throughout her body.
Chen Erniu also smiled and said, “Although I’m not as powerful as Xiaolu, I’ve been practicing seriously in the past few years. If we have to fight, I’m not afraid. If he dares to bully my sister, I’ll beat him up.”
Chen Daniu smiled and her eyes turned red again. “Alright, with you guys backing me up, I’m not afraid. I want to seek justice for myself. I won’t be a coward anymore.”
With a family like this around her, she wasn’t the least bit afraid. She was determined. She knew what to do.
When they returned home, Chen Daniu shouted ‘mother’ and threw herself into Madam Qian’s arms. She said, “Mother, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
