Xinyan entered the dormitory, and Jiang Peiqin turned from the window to look at her, "Are you alright?"
Xinyan put down her things, "Iâm fine."
Jiang Peiqin walked a few steps to the front of the table, "I know that girl."
Xinyan looked up, "I know her, Iâve seen her in the French class before."
Jiang Peiqin picked up the book for class, "Her partner Xu Xiangdongâs father knows my uncle, Iâve heard about the Xu Family before, but I didnât expect to hear it directly from Fang Lirong today."
Xinyanâs curiosity was piqued, "So, what exactly happened?"
Jiang Peiqin glanced at the time, "Letâs go, Iâll tell you while we walk."
At this moment, Zhang Zhaodi and Bai Aiwen were also intrigued, picked up their books, and followed along.
This matter is indeed as Fang Lirong said â back then, they really did find her a job, but just as she was about to go handle the paperwork, Xu Xiangdongâs fatherâs old friendâs daughter appeared.
She said that their street had come to ask her family to send a child to the countryside, but her mother didnât want her two brothers to go, and feared the slot would fall onto her, but she didnât want to go to the countryside.
She originally intended to use her fatherâs life-saving grace to Xu Xiangdongâs father Xu Qingbai to have Xu Xiangdong marry her, so she wouldnât have to worry about going to the countryside and could live a good life in the future.
But the Xu family refused, saying Xu Xiangdong already had a fiancée, and they were soon to be married.
To repay the favor, they gave the job prepared for Fang Lirong as a daughter-in-law to Yu Linfang who came knocking, thinking theyâd find a way to get another job slot afterward.
But the countryside slot had already been issued, and it was impossible to find another job in such a short time, so they arranged for Fang Lirong to go to the countryside, promising to quickly find a way to bring her back to the city.
Itâs said that Xu Xiangdong promised Fang Lirong many benefits at the time, made numerous guarantees, saying he would find time to visit her where she was sent.
In fact, distance didnât create beauty, but made the two gradually grow apart, from one letter a month to one every few months.
The main issue was that during this period, Xu Xiangdong developed mutual affection with another Miss.
Upon hearing this, Xinyan understood that Fang Lirong probably couldnât adapt to the rural life after being sent there, and the news of returning to the city was long overdue, leading her inner perseverance to completely collapse.
She guessed it was just as that rugged guy helped her intentionally or unintentionally during work, and they came together.
But now that Fang Lirong has finally returned to the city, itâs normal for different thoughts to arise.
Judging by that rugged manâs behavior of carrying a dagger with him earlier, he wasnât a good person.
Zhang Zhaodi chimed in at this point, "Those two men, one is violent and the other is hypocritical, neither of them is any good."
Bai Aiwen felt deeply about this, having experienced betrayal before herself, which left her hopeless, though she didnât quite agree with Fang Lirongâs actions, people tend to cling to a lifeline from others during vulnerability, itâs understandable.
As they talked, they arrived at the classroom, found seats, and just sat down.
Someone stuck their head in at the door, "Han Xinyan, can you come out for a moment?"
Xinyan looked up to see Liu Ronghua from the neighboring class.
Xinyan had no connection with her and didnât know why she was looking for her.
But Xinyan still stood up and walked to the door, "Is there something you need?"
Liu Ronghua glanced into the classroom, "Can we speak privately?"
Xinyan nodded and followed her to the end of the corridor, "Letâs talk here, whatâs up?"
