Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 715 - 708: Finally Meeting (Part 2)

The neighbor lady’s eyes widened upon hearing this, and she chuckled, "You’re just making things up. Didn’t Xiao Qiao deny it in front of all of us yesterday?"

Mrs. Qiao smiled, "That was because she was afraid of me hitting her yesterday, and how could she have the nerve to admit it in front of so many people?"

The neighbor lady pursed her lips, "You’re talking like it’s true, but your Xiao Qiao said yesterday that Boss Leng was here looking for a wife!"

"You’re silly!" Mrs. Qiao burst into laughter.

"Hey! Why are you insulting people?" The neighbor lady was not having it.

Mrs. Qiao rolled her eyes, "Think about it, how could the wife of a grand city boss possibly be left in our poor village? It doesn’t make sense! He’s just using it as an excuse to stay at our place. I understand these little tricks men have~" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The neighbor lady looked at Mrs. Qiao with disdain, thinking to herself, indeed a shameless woman!

"Oh, I’m not going to talk to you anymore, I have to prepare dinner for them!" With that, Mrs. Qiao twisted her way back into the house.

The neighbor lady spat but felt a little jealous inside. Such a good man, why hadn’t he stayed at their house back then? Even if he couldn’t be a son-in-law, making some money would have been nice!

Xiao Qiao’s house was located on the west side of the village. The neighbor lady was quick with her words, and by mid-morning, almost everyone on the west side knew about Xiao Qiao going to the city to be a wealthy lady, and that she had already cooked the rice with Boss Leng staying at her house!

For a while, there was all sorts of talk in the village. Some were envious, wondering when their kids would marry into the city. Others hurried to flatter Mrs. Qiao, asking if she could find a job for their kids in the city.

Of course, there were also those who looked down with disdain. A good young lady, not knowing how to behave, sharing a bed with a man she’d just met.

Mrs. Qiao didn’t care about all that. She spent the whole day beaming with joy, thinking her decision years ago to grit her teeth and send her daughter to town for a diploma was right. It broadened her horizons and cultured her; when she marries Boss Leng in the future, she’d fit right in.

From now on, Mrs. Qiao had already begun to fantasize about her future life in the city, full of luxurious food and drink.

Meanwhile, the west side of the village was in an uproar over Xiao Qiao marrying into the city, and something shocking happened on the east side.

Old Li’s foolish son was getting a wife! They say she’s as beautiful as a goddess, incredibly pretty. But not very bright, a fool just like Xiao Li!

At this moment, up on the mountain, Xiao Qiao couldn’t stay calm anymore.

She listened to Leng Yichen’s words and stayed at the fork in the road, not following them up the mountain to search, waiting honestly there. But as she watched Leng Yichen head down the path she chose yesterday, her heart sank.

It was down this path that she saw the woman yesterday. What if Leng Yichen discovered something walking this path? What if he successfully brought the woman back? Then Leng Yichen would surely know she lied yesterday!

Xiao Qiao bit her finger, feeling a strong surge of panic inside. At this moment, she really wished Bai Yiran would die, so her lie would remain a permanent secret.

Simultaneously, Xiao Qiao held onto a small hope inside. Perhaps Leng Yichen would discover nothing?

As evening approached, Leng Yichen and Wang Hai returned with disappointment once more, and Xiao Qiao finally let go of her hanging heart.
