Chapter 268 Playing The Victim

Song Lingzhi couldn't keep going like this. Cui Jingyu had once let her be out of trust and affection, but it was clear now that things couldn't stay the same. Still, Song Lingzhi didn't have the courage to stand up for herself—it was always Cui Jingyu who had to step in for her. She couldn't afford to overthink it. She was terrified of the confrontation ahead, a storm she knew she couldn't outrun. On the way over, Cui Jingyu loudly explained the entire situation to Wei Gengxin. Her voice carried, and since it was only the second day of the new year, most villagers were still home. Curious neighbors began to follow them, eager to find out what was going on. As they listened to what Cui Jingyu had to say, it became clear that the Song family had gone too far.
