Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 122: Song Yiluo’s Self-Recommendation
In just one day, a house that belonged to their family suddenly became two. Yi Roujing was delighted that everything was settled within a few hours. She planned to take the afternoon bus home. Ding Ancheng specifically called back to the Dingping Production Team, asking Ding Anguo to pick her up at the commune.
Ding Ancheng personally escorted Yi Roujing to the Huaixi County bus station, only leaving after watching her board the bus. However, he was stopped at the station entrance.
"Does Song, the educated youth, have something to discuss?" Ding Ancheng took two steps back and asked Song Yiluo.
A hint of sadness crossed Song Yiluo’s face, "Mr. Ding, could we find a place to talk?"
Hearing this, Ding Ancheng frowned, "If there’s something Song, the educated youth, wants to say, you can say it now."
"Ding Ancheng, if you’re not comfortable with me expressing my feelings in public, then we can talk right here." A struggle flashed in Song Yiluo’s eyes.
Ding Ancheng was momentarily stunned, then he laughed coldly, "Is Song, the educated youth, threatening me now? I have nothing to hide; if you’re not afraid of ruining your reputation, I don’t mind embarrassing you in public."
Song Yiluo’s face turned pale, and she stepped back, needing the support of the wall to keep from collapsing.
Without hesitation, Ding Ancheng moved past Song Yiluo to leave, but a sentence from her made him stop.
"Mr. Ding, did you know that on March 7th, Yi Roujing didn’t fall into the water by herself? Someone pushed her. I saw it with my own eyes."
Seeing Ding Ancheng pause, Song Yiluo felt a sense of assurance. Yi Roujing hadn’t told Ding Ancheng.
"It seems Mr. Ding’s relationship with Yi Roujing isn’t that strong. Mr. Ding was unhappy with the marriage and avoided Yi Roujing for three months. Yi Roujing didn’t trust Mr. Ding enough to tell him something life-threatening, haha." A trace of satisfaction crossed Song Yiluo’s bloodshot eyes.
"Did Song, the educated youth, see clearly who it was?" Ding Ancheng didn’t turn around, but his voice was tense.
"I don’t want to tell Mr. Ding so easily." For a moment, Song Yiluo felt elated, but it was fleeting, soon replaced by a surge of resentment. She hadn’t expected Ding Ancheng to care so much about Yi Roujing now. Why should he...
Turning around, Ding Ancheng looked down at Song Yiluo, his eyes dark and unfathomable, "If Song, the educated youth, doesn’t want to return to the city, you don’t have to say it."
Song Yiluo gave it some thought and understood, "Is Mr. Ding threatening me now?"
"Reciprocity, that’s all." Ding Ancheng took a step closer, curling his lips into a cold smile.
"Mr. Ding might not know, but my return to the city isn’t recommended by the team leader; it’s a document from Jing City directly allowing my return. Even if Mr. Ding has some influence in the Dingping Production Team, it’s impossible to meddle with my return to the city."
"However, if Mr. Ding has other intentions and doesn’t want me to return to the city, if I can accept it, staying here is also possible," Song Yiluo said.
"Compared to Yi Roujing, I’m a better match for Mr. Ding. Maybe Mr. Ding isn’t familiar with my family’s situation, but my family can offer Mr. Ding more opportunities compared to Yi Roujing. Someone as outstanding as Mr. Ding shouldn’t be confined to this small place in Huaixi County." Song Yiluo eagerly recommended herself.
"Who gave you the confidence to say something like this, was it Song Enping?"
The name Song Enping caught Song Yiluo by surprise, "You, you, you..."
"Although the health of the Song Family’s head of the Jing City branch, Song Enping, has improved, it was thanks to the Lingzhi found by Ding Xingye that your branch of the Song Family received attention. Do you have the nerve to bring up such matters?" Mockery filled Ding Ancheng’s eyes.
"Song, the educated youth, doesn’t know me, but I can honestly tell you, I don’t even consider the Song Family."
Ding Ancheng’s words frightened Song Yiluo into retreating, fear rising in her heart. Ding Ancheng seemed so unfamiliar to her now.
"If Song, the educated youth, tells me who it was, today’s matter will be over." Ding Ancheng gazed at Song Yiluo, "Otherwise, the document that allows you to return to Jing City could be canceled, and you might never have another chance to return there. Does Song, the educated youth, want to test it?"
Under the pressure of Ding Ancheng’s presence, Song Yiluo turned pale, cold sweat emerging, her body trembling uncontrollably, "It, it was Li Xipei."
Ding Ancheng’s eyes darkened, a menacing aura emanated, frightening Song Yiluo. She regretted coming to find Ding Ancheng before returning to Jing City and saying such things.
"Does Yi Roujing know that Mr. Ding is this kind of person?" Song Yiluo asked in a trembling voice.
"Our affairs don’t need outsiders meddling." With that, Ding Ancheng turned and left.
Finally unable to support herself, Song Yiluo collapsed onto the ground.
What kind of person Ding Ancheng was, Song Yiluo no longer knew, but after the initial fear, a fervent desire arose. Such a great person like Ding Ancheng was even more attractive, and someone like Yi Roujing, just a country girl, how could she be worthy of him.
On his way back to the County First Middle School, Ding Ancheng’s heart was not at peace. Previous scenes arose in his mind, "I won’t divorce, only be widowed," "I almost died when I fell into the water," no wonder she’d mentioned ending their marriage several times before, someone actually wanted her dead after marrying him.
Li Xipei. With his head slightly lowered, Ding Ancheng suppressed the rising murderous intent in his eyes. Upon reaching the County First Middle School, he went straight to make a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Get me Gu Shizhao."
...
"Hello?"
"I need you to investigate Li Xipei, everything about him, even the smallest detail."
Surprised by Ding Ancheng’s request, Gu Shizhao also sensed a difference in his usual tone.
"What happened?"
"Bring them to the county town this week, when they arrive, you return to Jing City." Ding Ancheng’s voice was deep.
"Mr. Ding thinks highly of me, but I should be receiving my return to the city documents soon." Gu Shizhao’s voice was both excited and reluctant.
"Once you receive it, help me investigate the Song Family properly." Ding Ancheng continued.
Gu Shizhao agreed to everything.
By the time Yi Roujing reached the Tongxian Commune, it was already dark. As soon as she got off the bus, she saw Ding Anguo waiting nearby with a bicycle.
"Sister-in-law, over here." Ding Anguo held the bicycle with one hand and waved high with the other.
"Anguo." Yi Roujing got on the bike.
"Sister-in-law, today the document for Xia, the educated youth’s return to the city arrived." Ding Anguo said happily, "Now we can head to the county town soon."
Hearing this, Yi Roujing was also pleased, "Then let’s head to the city early. The house has already been transferred today. Once we buy some furniture, we can move in. We’ll tidy and decorate it in the next few days, have mom and dad come and stay for a while, recognize the family house, and experience life in the city."
"Yes, yes." Ding Anguo pedaled the bicycle energetically, excitement filling his heart with anticipation for future life.
As soon as they entered the team, they were informed there was a call. Before heading home, they went to answer it. It was from Ding Ancheng. Hearing they had arrived home, they didn’t talk for long.
