Chapter 413: Discovering Tricks and Bullying Others (7)_1
"Eh, isn’t that Widow Xie’s son? I heard he’s about to get married, so why is he here slandering Boss Mo?"
"About to get married? But I’ve seen him loitering around Boss Mo’s shop entrance several times! Could it be that this man has some crooked thoughts?"
As Xie Zhiyuan listened to everyone’s gossip, the smug look on his face vanished, and when he heard someone mention his impending marriage, he felt even more uneasy. Ever since he had seen Mo Sanniang and the man before him being affectionate, he had been so angry that he didn’t eat for two days.
Later, he couldn’t hold back his anger and came to loiter around the cloth shop entrance several times, but saw Ma Xiaoqian’s cousins, and for fear they would tell Ma Xiaoqian, he didn’t go inside. He didn’t expect that today, without running into anyone from the Ma Family, he would instead be recognized by some neighbors.
Mo Sanniang, with tears in her eyes, looked at the man who stood in front of her defending her and realized that this usually reticent and restrained bookworm actually had a bold and assertive side. On the other side, the man she had been devotedly in love with for many years, Xie Zhiyuan, not only abandoned her first but insulted her afterwards, and was now here to tarnish her reputation.
Mo Sanniang wished she could gouge out her own eyes; what kind of love potion had she drunk to have been deceived by this hypocritical man for so many years!
She had foolishly believed his vows of eternal love and waited in vain, missing out on her prime years.
