CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: SUCCESSFUL FAMILY SEPARATION (PART 8)

In just a few seconds, Gu Youlan had already thought of an escape plan for herself!

Since her reputation was already ruined and she couldn’t hope to marry anyone else, she had to take this opportunity to get engaged to Zhang Zhiqiang. Zhang Zhiqiang would never abandon her!

"Brother Qiang, how can you deny our relationship? Were all those pledges of love you made to me just jokes?"

Gu Youlan’s tears flowed freely, her words filled with genuine emotion, as if she weren’t the shameless fox who had an affair with her brother-in-law, but rather a victim brutally hurt by a heartless man.

"Oh, Zhang Zhiqiang, I thought you were a decent young man, but now you bully our Lanlan and try to bite back! Oh heavens, why is our Lanlan so unlucky!"

Wang Ying, aligned with Gu Youlan, naturally rushed to support her eldest daughter first.

She understood the severity of today’s incident. If not handled properly, her eldest daughter would be finished, dragging down the Gu Family to live under public scorn forever. So, for the family to continue in this village, she had to make Zhang Zhiqiang take responsibility for today’s affair.

Moreover, she would soon tell everyone that Zhang Zhiqiang and Gu Youlan were just young and impulsive, that they simply fancied each other, and this wasn’t a deliberate indiscretion!

Anyway, she’d already decided to sell that dead girl Gu Nianyang to the old widower. She could take this chance to annul Zhang Zhiqiang’s engagement to the dead girl, making it legitimate for Gu Youlan and Zhang Zhiqiang to date!

She believed the villagers would certainly understand!

Wang Ying had it all figured out, but it was already seen through by Nianyang who was not far away!

Nianyang had stayed in the background until now, waiting for the right moment to make Zhang Zhiqiang and Gu Youlan’s reputations fall apart. She wouldn’t let Wang Ying, this troublemaker, ruin things!

Seeing the perfect moment, she stepped forward, looking at Gu Youlan with a heartbroken expression and said, "Sister, now I know you were already coveting my betrothed in secret, having a shady affair behind my back. Where does that leave me?"

With Nianyang’s appearance, the situation reached another climax!

All eyes turned to her, and they realized the usually dark-skinned, unattractive girl from the Gu family, now appeared washed anew, looking fair and tender!

What a lovely young girl! She was far more beautiful than her sister Gu Youlan, known as the town’s village flower!

What was Zhang Zhiqiang thinking, ignoring his beautiful fiancée, and having an affair with Gu Youlan?

Confronted with Nianyang’s icy gaze, Gu Youlan suddenly recalled the fear of being thoroughly outwitted by Nianyang during the preliminary results day, her face turning deathly pale, "Yangyang, let me explain..."

"Explain what? Everyone saw the shameless act you and Zhang Zhiqiang committed, what further excuse do you have?"

Nianyang’s face showed unbearable pain from betrayal, "No wonder, every time I went to find Zhang Zhiqiang, you’d follow, saying you wanted to accompany me, when in truth your heart was elsewhere.

Even last time, in the woods, when you were disheveled, lying in his arms, you tricked me into believing you fell and he helped you up!

I was really foolish to believe you, thinking you were my sister, that no matter how you treated me, you wouldn’t stoop to stealing your sister’s fiancé!

The fact is, you really did such a filthy thing. Sister, oh sister, you’re really my true sister!"

What Nianyang said was like loud slaps, hitting Gu Youlan’s face, making it burn.

Upon hearing Nianyang’s words, the villagers exclaimed, realizing these two had been in cahoots for a long time, and today wasn’t their first affair!
