Chapter 278 It’s better to be good at training than to marry well (second update)
Mei Sanying, though puzzled about Ye Cheng’s extended absence given they were newlyweds and the husband had been away so soon for so long, which definitely seemed unsusual.
However, Xiaofeng seemed normal, not looking the slightest bit worried, which made her a bit uncertain.
Having lived a good number of years, she naturally knew what should and what shouldn’t be said. Since Xiaofeng herself didn’t mention it and didn’t even show a hint of it, she naturally couldn’t bring it up.
Mei Sanying didn’t mention it, and Xiaofeng dismissed it, but others didn’t see it that way.
...
At the entrance to Lihua Village, a few women sat together, busy with their tasks, starting to murmur, "I’ve heard that Dr. Ye, the one Xiaofeng married, left the day after their wedding and has not returned since. I specifically passed by Dr. Ye’s house today. Normally, Grandfather Liu is at home, but he wasn’t there now either. What do you think, is there something we don’t know about?" Zhang Chunying, while tidying up the leeks on the ground, whispered to the other two.
"Such a good-looking young man as Dr. Ye, why would he fall for someone like Xiaofeng? It’s not like Dr. Ye is foolish." Villager B glanced toward Guaizi’s house: "I think, maybe Dr. Ye married Xiaofeng out of pity, pretending. As for Dr. Ye and Grandfather Liu, they must have left here and might never come back."
If Xiaofeng were here, she would definitely retort with a "you guessed it right."
"But the show they put on their wedding day didn’t look fake at all. Would Dr. Ye really go to all that trouble to fake a wedding with Su Xiaofeng? It doesn’t seem likely to me." Before this event, everyone had thought they were just visiting doctors.
This event made everyone realize something else: this grandfather-grandson pair from out of town was extremely wealthy, casually giving a dowry of sixty to seventy thousand.
