After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 129 Yi Yunshuo Utilizes the Functions of the Eight Trigrams

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Yes, I did borrow money from her, but not in the way you think."

"What's that like?"

Which one?

The truth, once revealed, seems even more shameful than his family using him to pay off debts.

Lu Jiangting stammered and couldn't get the words out.

"Look at you, so pathetic." Old Wang curled his lip and glanced at him sideways, saying, "No matter what, you and your ex-girlfriend have already broken up and called off your engagement. From now on, you can get married and she can get married. You two have nothing to do with each other anymore."

He was heartbroken when he heard that he had no relationship with Lin Yuyao anymore.

"No, no, there's just a misunderstanding between us. Once it's cleared up, we'll be together."

Old Wang thought to himself, "The misunderstanding is cleared up. As for what happened between you and Fang Qing, she probably doesn't even know about it."

It's no wonder the misunderstanding can't be cleared up.

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to visit the girl and ask her what happened.

If the girl also feels there's some misunderstanding between her and Lu Jiangting, and the two are really in love, then the matchmaking shouldn't be done haphazardly.

Otherwise, all three of them will blame him.

Old Wang first sent Lu Jiangting back, and then asked other people if anyone knew Lu Jiangting's ex-girlfriend.

Someone stepped forward and said, "We don't know them, but Fu Huaiyi and Yi Yunshuo should know each other. They almost attended Lu Jiangting's wedding with his ex-girlfriend."

Oh, he remembered that, it seems there was such a thing.

He hadn't even asked why the wedding hadn't taken place.

They approved his wedding leave, but he won't get it for his next wedding.

"Go and..."

He figured that Fu Huaiyi wasn't one to talk about other people's business, so asking him might not yield any useful information.

Yi Yunshuo, on the other hand, has a loose tongue; you could probably get anything out of him.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Go and call Yi Yunshuo over."

A short while later, Yi Yunshuo arrived and stood in front of him like a dog with drooping ears and its tail between its legs.

Seeing his expression, Old Wang's lips twitched, and he asked angrily, "What have you done now?"

Yi Yunshuo shuddered and stammered, "I'm revising it now, I promise it will be finished before I leave work."

Lao Wang: "..."

Never mind, we'll talk about work later.

"I'm asking you, did you go to Lu Jiangting's wedding banquet before?"

Yi Yunshuo nodded, then shook his head hastily, realizing he hadn't gotten a drink.

Old Wang's lips twitched again. "Can't you even tell whether you went or not? What's with all the nodding and shaking your head? Did you go or not?"

"I went, but we didn't get to drink together; they broke off the engagement."

Just go and that's it.

"I'm asking you, how did they break off the engagement?"

"There are two issues. One is about borrowing money, and the other is that Lu Jiangting is taking too good care of Fang Qing and her child, which makes the woman angry and she wants to break off the engagement."

"Yes, speak properly."

"Here's what happened. Fang Qing wanted to open a shop, but she didn't have enough money, so she borrowed some from Lu Jiangting. Lu Jiangting was confused; he didn't have that much money, so he lent Fang Qing his own money along with the bride's dowry."

Ok?

Old Wang looked shocked.

"The dowry has all been lent out?"

"Yes."

"How did the woman's dowry end up in his hands?"

Yi Yunshuo said, "He tricked her into giving it to her. He lied to the girl, saying that a comrade's father was seriously ill and about to die, and he needed the money to save his life. The girl thought that nothing was more important than her life, so she gave him the money. But what happened? The girl found out that he didn't use the money to save his life at all, but lent it to Fang Qing."

Is there such an operation?

Lu Jiangting even told him it was a misunderstanding?

Old Wang was so shocked he could hardly believe it.

Yi Yunshuo continued, "When the woman found out she had been deceived, she was furious and went back crying to complain. That same day, her parents came to her door with weapons. Good heavens, they were followed by a group of people for two miles. If it weren't for Fu Huaiyi and me, that group of people would have torn down Lu Jiangting's house."

Old Wang was taken aback: "They even used weapons? How many guns?"

Yi Yunshuo: "..."

"No, no guns were used, just... a carrying pole and a rolling pin."

Old Wang: "..." You call this a weapon?

Old Wang was speechless for a moment, then said, "Continue."

"When this happened so suddenly, I thought they were here to cause trouble, so I confiscated their weapons on the spot... cough cough, carrying poles and rolling pins, which prevented a fight from breaking out."

"Hmm." Old Wang nodded and said, "It's going to be hard to clean up this mess."

"Yes, the woman wanted to break off the engagement, but Lu Jiangting refused. When Lu Jiangting's parents found out, they scolded him and made him apologize to the woman's family. I don't know what happened after that. We left because we realized we wouldn't be able to attend the wedding banquet."

It wasn't until we arrived here that we learned the woman was determined to break off the engagement with Lu Jiangting. She came for two reasons: first, to break off the engagement, and second, to get back the several hundred yuan of dowry that Lu Jiangting had tricked her into borrowing.

Old Wang then understood the whole story.

So the two of them didn't get together because of money, but it's true that they couldn't stay together because of money.

"And now? Is that girl still here?"

"Yes, I work at the bookstore opposite the coffee shop in Chenshan Town."

On his day off, Lao Wang went to the bookstore where Lin Yuyao worked.

Of the three waitresses in the shop, he recognized Lin Yuyao at a glance.

The last time this girl blocked the door and asked Lu Jiangting to return the money, the news that reached his ears was that a very pretty girl was asking Lu Jiangting for money.

Of the three shop assistants, she's the one who looks like she's from out of town; it must be her.

She is indeed quite pretty; even though he doesn't like overly demure types, he still thinks she's very beautiful.

Fang Qing is not bad either, but she is far inferior to this girl.

Lu Jiangting, you're really lucky.

"Hello, what books do you need? I'll get them for you."

Lin Yuyao noticed that the middle-aged man was staring at her, so she took the initiative to go up and ask him something.

Old Wang said directly, "I came to see you not to buy books, but to confirm some things with you."

"You say."

Old Wang briefly explained the entanglement between her, Lu Jiangting, and Fang Qing, and I'm pretty sure that's about 80% correct.

However, Lin Yuyao didn't care, since she had nothing to do with them anymore.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand why you're telling me this. I have nothing to do with Lu Jiangting anymore. As for the money Fang Qing owes me, Lu Jiangting paid it off for her a long time ago."

"I know about this. I'm here to ask if there's still any possibility between you and Lu Jiangting?"

Lin Yuyao's expression changed. "Impossible."

"Is it really impossible?"

"Yes, I never want to have anything to do with him in my life."

Lin Yuyao looked disgusted and didn't want to mention anything related to Lu Jiangting anymore.

Seeing her reaction, Old Wang believed a few of her words.

But to avoid any misunderstanding, he still asked, "If you don't want to have anything to do with him, why don't you go back to your hometown?"
