Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Xiao Li’s Suggestion
Pan Meijia took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, then looked at Sheng Xiaohong and said, “Comrade, I don’t have any design for your man. I only helped him because he was about to die. After I sent him back from the hospital, I never looked for him again.”

‘Your man even owes me money.’ Pan Meijia added inside her heart.

“Do you think I’m a fool and will believe your excuses? You’re just trying to pique his interest so he will fall in love with you. You bitch, you must be itchy when you see a handsome guy!”

Pan Meijia was irritated by her words and asked coldly, “Comrade, watch your words. Who do you call a bitch?”

Before Sheng Xiaohong could speak, Pan Meijia interrupted her, “I admit that Ling Yun is handsome. However, he is not the only handsome man alive. I have a good family, I am an educated youth, and I have a town’s household registration. There are many men willing to marry me. So, there’s no reason for me to get involved with a married man.”

Seeing Sheng Xiaohong’s face turning red with anger, Pan Meijia felt better and added, “Comrade, don’t be too angry. Otherwise, within a year, your face will be covered with wrinkles. I won’t go bother your man, so please don’t stand in my way and waste my time. Thank you.”

After saying that, Pan Meijia walked around Sheng Xiaohong and left without looking back. After walking a few meters, she saw Xiao Li standing by the tree looking at her thoughtfully. Seeing Xiao Li at this moment only made her feel a little annoyed, so she ignored him and continued to leave.

When Xiao Li looked at Sheng Xiaohong, he saw the hatred and jealousy in her eyes.

He always told Ling Yun to keep a distance from Sheng Xiaohong’s daughter, because this would only make everyone believe the rumors spread by Sheng Xiaohong about their relationship. But his words fell on deaf ears.

He knew that Xiaohua was mistreated by Sheng Xiaohong and she was pitiful, but since Ling Yun did not intend to have anything to do with her mother, he should not interfere too much. Now, everyone believes that Ling Yun and Sheng Xiaohong are lovers. Even Pan Meijia believed this rumor.

Thinking of Ling Yun’s joy when he talked about Pan Meijia, Xiao Li felt that this misunderstanding might make Ling Yun’s situation unfavorable. As an excellent wingman, he quickly went to Pan Meijia to explain the situation clearly.

When he caught up with her, Xiao Li was surprised to see her chatting with another educated youth. This educated youth was none other than Comrade Han who lent them the bicycle. She looked delighted as she laughed at his words. The man also looked at her tenderly, with a smile on his face.

Xiao Li stood rooted in his place, motionless. He scratched his head and looked at them for a moment. In the end, he didn’t disturb them and goes to find Ling Yun instead.

When Xiao Li arrived at Ling Yun’s house, it was already dark. Ling Yun was getting ready to sleep when he heard a knock on the door. He went to open the door and was surprised to see that his friend had come to visit him so late.

“Xiao Li, why are you here at this time?” he asked while letting him in.

Xiao Li sat on his seat, looked at him, and said, “Brother, did you know that Sheng Xiaohong went to see Comrade Pan?”

Hearing his words, Ling Yun frowned. He didn’t know what Sheng Xiaohong’s purpose was in finding Pan Meijia. However, it’s probably not a good thing.

Xiao Li knew from his expression that he didn’t know anything about it. He let out a long sigh and said, “Brother, I know you promised Xiaohua’s father that you would protect his daughter. But if your kindness brings you trouble, you can’t continue to help her.”

“Do you know what the villagers say about you? They say that you had an affair with Sheng Xiaohong when her husband was still alive. Because of this, no one is willing to marry their daughter to you.” He added.

“I know.” Ling Yun said calmly.

“Since you know, then stop meddling in their affairs. Xiaohua is Sheng Xiaohong’s biological daughter. Even if she is beaten to death by her, it has nothing to do with you. Because she knows that you care about her daughter, she always beats her. In this way, you will care about that girl. If that little girl relies too much on you and affects your future, what will you do?” Xiao Li asked.

“Xiaohua won’t.” Ling Yun shook his head.

“You can’t be sure. She is only five years old. She will long for a father figure in her life. What if she insists on you being her father? Are you willing to marry Sheng Xiaohong for her?” Xiao Li asked again.

Seeing that Ling Yun was silent, Xiao Li added, “Let’s put it another way. If Comrade Pan believes that Sheng Xiaohong is your woman and therefore keeps distance from you, what will you do?”

After hearing his words, Ling Yun’s eyes flickered for a moment, and asked, “What did Sheng Xiaohong say to Pan Meijia?”

Xiao Li’s eyes flashed with understanding but he had already guessed his brother’s feelings toward Pan Meijia and said, “She told Comrade Pan not to disturb you anymore because you are her man. She also called Comrade Pan a bitch who is looking for death.”

After hearing Xiao Li’s words, Ling Yun frowned and fell into deep thought. It seems he can’t stay here any longer. After a long time, he finally said, “Xiao Li, I know what to do. Thank you for telling me this.”

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. Since Ling Yun has said so, it means that he has made a decision. Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, Xiao Li stood up and said, “Brother, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Alright.”

After sending Xiao Li away, Ling Yun found Sheng Xiaohong watching him from her home. He ignored her, locked the door, and went to sleep. Tomorrow, he will go find the team leader and move out of this village.
