Chapter 612
Chapter 612: Such Eloquence!
She heard Mrs. Li’s voice too. She knew she had come looking for trouble!
The men were currently at home. They would not let her get any good out of this. Even if they were out, Liu Duo herself would make sure they left empty-handed!
Ye Ling, who was already blushing, blushed even more when she said that.
“Duo Er…”
He wondered if they should go down and take a look.
As though she had read his thoughts, Liu Duo intercepted him. “If you love me, then kiss me. Perhaps a hug or two…”
Er…
Wasn’t he hugging her already? And didn’t he kissed her a moment ago?
Ye Ling thought so, but despite that, he proceeded to kiss her anyway. He liked it when they kissed.
Ye Liu led Du Wenjin into the house. The two women followed.
“Chief, what brings you here to our humble abode?” Ye Liu poured him a bowl of water.
Du Wenjin had barely opened his mouth to speak when Mrs. Li hurriedly took over. “The chief’s here to speak for my daughter! Your brother Ling has spoiled her reputation, and so he must bear responsibility and take my daughter as his wife!”
Her voice was exceedingly loud and harsh, as though they had to marry Li Chunmei or else bear the chief’s wrath.
“Rubbish… Ling wouldn’t do such a thing! Don’t speak ill of my brother like that or you’re the one who has ruined his name!” Ye Mo spoke just as harshly. He was not afraid of her!
He shouted even louder than Mrs. Li could.
Just then, Li Wazi walked out of the kitchen. He frowned at the guests and went to stand with the other men.
Ye Liu and Du Wenjin were the ones sitting.
Li Chunmei stood by the sidelines with her head hanging low. No one could see her face clearly. Her mother found herself a stool.
Ye Yang looked at Mrs. Li, showing nothing on his face, not even joy or anger, and said, “Mind your tongue!”
“Why can’t you all take it like the men you are! Ye Ling fell, landed, and pressed himself on my daughter. So many villagers saw it. Don’t you dare deny that! Get Ye Ling out here to settle this mess once and for all. He can’t hide forever!”
Assisted by the village chief’s presence, Mrs. Li was not scared at all even as she faced, and was pressured by, several strong men standing together.
Ye Liu kept up his smile as he beamed at Mrs. Li. “Madam, you say you want my brother to come out? And why would I listen to you? Moreover, you said Ling fell and landed on your daughter. Do you have any witnesses? Or proof?”
“Even if you do have both, then let me ask you something. Ling should have been practicing his writing when he tripped and fell on your daughter. How did that happen? Are you telling me he can be in two places at once?”
“And even if Ling can do that, your daughter isn’t as appealing as our Little Duo though. Why would he choose to engage with your daughter over our pretty little wife? What a joke this has turned out to be!”
Ye Liu went on and on, not even gasping for breath. Such eloquence!
Mrs. Li just sat there, dumbfounded. Her brow creased, as though locked in place.
Du Wenjin could not help but cough a bit at the final part of Ye Liu’s statement. Any more and the man would be treading into intimate territory.
Li Chunmei might be a lot taller than Liu Duo, and despite each having their own merits in terms of appearance, Liu Duo won out in the end because she had much fairer skin!
After all, a white complexion is powerful enough to hide seven faults.
As the village chief, Du Wenjin was about to make a remark when Mrs. Li beat him to it once again, “Ye Liu, you better stop spouting all this gibberish! Ye Ling pressed himself on my daughter and that is an indisputable fact! He must be responsible for his actions!”
