Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 44: Concealing and Confessing

Chen Ran had betrayed Xiao Lingyu for another woman. That was a shock for everyone present. Chen Xiaoming scratched his head anxiously.

He ran to Chen Dahua, “Uncle Chen, you guys need to hurry. Brother Chen is still waiting for you. We can’t waste any more time.”

Chen Dahua finally snapped back to his senses. They had to hurry to City Z to check on Chen Ran.

Chen Dahua shouted at Lan Erying, “Hurry and get up. Go home to pack. We will go to City Z immediately.” Chen Dahua had one son and three daughters. If something happened to Chen Ran, the lineage of the Chen Family would die. Money was important, but his son was more important. Furthermore, they would get their money eventually. Xiao Zhengyang’s family was not going to move away.

Once Lan Erying heard that she jumped up from the ground with a grunt. Then she turned to the Xiao Family and said fiercely, “Hmph, this is not over!”

The villagers of Taoyuan Village remained after the Chen family left.

“Alright, it’s time for everyone to disperse. Go back to your own home!” Mother Xiao broke up the crowd.

The villagers were curious about how Chen Ran suddenly got married to another woman and stabbed, but they were embarrassed to stay after Mother Xiao had started to openly chase people away.

However, some thick-skinned villagers asked with a smile, “Xiao Yu, what happened? You were so close to that kid from the Chen Family, so why did he suddenly marry another woman? Did you run back home because of that? Or you came back to hide after stabbing Chen Ran?”

“Lai Lao Er, what are you talking about? Can’t my Xiao Yu come back to her family? She did nothing wrong. Why does she need to hide?” Mother Xiao complained loudly. “In any case, this is none of your business. Shoo!” Mother Xiao chased him away.

As thick-thinned as Lai Lao Er was, he knew it was time to go.

After everyone left, Mother Xiao’s expression changed. She looked at Xiao Lingyu sternly and said, “Damn girl, get into the house!”

Chen Ran married another woman, so her daughter must have suffered greatly. Mother Xiao was angry. It was clear from the way she stomped into the house.

Xiao Lingye called out worriedly, “Sis!”

He really didn’t expect the bastard Chan Ran to cheat on his sister. His big sister must have suffered a huge blow from this betrayal. He gritted his teeth and said, “Sis, don’t worry. I will find that bastard to settle the score for you! I will make him pay!”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head. “Little brother, I’m fine! You don’t have to worry!”

Xiao Zhengyang was a middle-aged man. He worked under the sun his whole life. He looked very similar to his son, Xiao Lingye. In other words, Father Xiao must be very handsome when he was young. However, now his features were carved by lessons of time. At the same time, time had also increased his wisdom.

Xiao Zhengyang was the father of Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingye. He protected them like a big tree. Xiao Zhenyang looked at his daughter, and he didn’t know what to say. He patted his daughter’s shoulder and sighed lightly, “Yu ‘Er, sorry for making you suffer. No matter the decision you make, I will support you!”

Xiao Lingyu saw her father’s caring and worried face, and tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Thank you, Dad.”

“Then you better go in. Your mother is waiting for you inside the house!” Father Xiao walked into the house. Xiao Lingyu and her brother entered at the same time.

When Mother Xiao saw the three of them walk in, she glared at Xiao Lingyu with a stern gaze. She suppressed her anger and asked, “Tell me, what happened between you and Chen Ran? Why did he suddenly end up marrying someone else?”

How could he betray a decade of love like that? The kid from the Chen Family had disappointed her daughter. She would not let him off easily.

Xiao Lingyu explained, “Our company CEO’s daughter took a fancy to Chen Ran. Chen Ran couldn’t resist the temptation, so they hooked up behind my back. They already had engagement plans. I only found out a few days ago. I immediately broke up with him and came back home!”

Xiao Lingyu was detached, but the others were furious. Xiao Lingye jumped up from anger. He wanted to run to City Z to demand an explanation from Chen Ran. “How can that bastard bully my sister like this? I’m going to go beat him up!”

“Get back here!” Mother Xiao shouted. “He’s in City Z! How are you going to beat him up? At least wait until he comes back first.”

Xiao Lingyu pouted. He grumbled, “I can’t wait. I’ll go to City Z to find him.”

Mother Xiao glared at him. “Didn’t you hear your sister? The man is stabbed and is lying in the hospital! Do you want to become a murderer because of him?”

Mother Xiao then turned to Xiao Lingyu. “Speaking of, why did he get stabbed?”

Xiao Lingyu admitted. “That has something to do with me.” Her family was shocked. They asked cautiously, “Yu ‘Er, did you stab him?”

Xiao Lingyu was speechless. She shook her head. “Of course not! He was stabbed by his newly married wife.”

The three of them let out a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t scare us like that. We thought you really stabbed him.” Mother Xiao added, “Even though the kid is horrible and I want to cut him into pieces myself, Yu ‘Er, it is not worth it to sacrifice yourself to harm a piece of garbage like that!” If Yu ‘Er did stab Chen Ran, she would have to go to jail.

“If he was stabbed by his wife, then why did you say you have to do with it?” Mother Xiao was confused.

She was not concerned about that kid from the Chen family, but she wanted to figure out what this had to do with her daughter.

Xiao Lingyu answered, “I decided to break up with Chen Ran after I found out he betrayed me. However, to take revenge, I grabbed a random man on the street to pretend to be my new boyfriend.” Xiao Lingyu didn’t dare say she was drugged into having a one-night stand. “I didn’t realize this temporary boyfriend is a powerful character in City Z. He considered buying out our company. He left the decision to me. I told him to do it. Chen Ran and his new wife turned on each other. In her anger, she stabbed Chen Ran!”

Xiao Lingyu skimmed over many things. She didn’t have the courage to tell her parents the truth. She decided to wait a few days before confessing the whole thing to her parents.
