Turns out I'm just mosquito blood

Chapter 22 Introspection

Qiao Wan'an was frustrated, but he couldn't justify himself, because he didn't know who spread the rumors, and those who talked about him behind his back would hide away when they saw him, and he had nowhere to ask even if he wanted to.

On the second day of the new year, he went to the hospital to see his younger brother, but he came back late. There was no car on the road, so he had to walk back by himself.

In the silent night, the wind is rustling, the trees are frosty, and the thin branches on the roadside are frantically casting ghostly shadows. Qiao Wanan always feels that someone is following him along the way. He rolled up his sleeves and walked forward in fear, taking out the Call Chu Yan on the phone.

"An'an, what's the matter?"

Hearing Chu Yan's voice, Qiao Wan'an seemed to be grasping at straws, "Ayan, I seem to be being followed, I..."

"what--"

Before Chu Yan had time to speak, he heard a slap and then fell silent, "An An, are you there? Talk, An An?"

Then, the phone was hung up.

Qiao Wan'an looked at the man who snatched the phone and looked at him fiercely, feeling a little chilly in his heart.

The man is from their town. Due to years of alcoholism and bad temper, his wives have beaten away several times. He is still an old bachelor in his fifties.

The old bachelor seemed to be drunk and drunk, and his body exuded the smell of dirt and wine that he hadn't bathed all year round. Qiao Wanan stepped back two steps, and ran away without caring about his mobile phone.

The old bachelor grabbed his hair and pulled him back vigorously, uttering dirty words through his black and yellow teeth, "Little bitch, why run away!"

Qiao Wan'an felt that his scalp was about to be ripped off, and gasped in pain, "Let, let me go!"

The old bachelor grinned, and his obscene eyes swept over his face, "As expected of a man who works for the rich in the city, this face is really ecstasy."

Qiao Wan'an felt faintly disgusted. Thinking of hearing the neighbors pointing at him, she couldn't help but argue, "I didn't, you're talking nonsense!"

Regardless of his struggle, the old bachelor dragged him into the grass by the side of the road, "You still don't admit it, but your family said it yourself, who in the town doesn't know about the shitty things you did outside?"

Qiao Wan'an was startled suddenly, "My family... said..."

The old bachelor thought he was irrefutable, and snorted disdainfully, "If I had known you were such a scum/good, I regretted not having done it back then!"

Qiao Wanan pushed him, trembling uncontrollably, "Go away! Don't touch me!"

The old bachelor slapped him fiercely, and spat, "Be honest with me, you bastard, I think highly of you when I play with you, don't fucking know good from bad!"

The old bachelor firmly grabbed his wrist and pulled his clothes. Qiao Wan's eyes were red, and tears filled his cheeks, "Let go of me, I'm married, and I didn't make a mistress! You are committing a crime! "

The old bachelor sneered and said: "If you have the ability, you can go and sue. I don't believe you with your current reputation. If I say you seduced me, who do you think they will believe?"

Qiao Wan'an's heart sank, and she couldn't help sobbing: "Let me go! Let me go..."

The two struggled in the grass. Seeing that the old bachelor was about to win, in the darkness, Qiao Wan'an suddenly picked up a stone beside him and slammed it down on his head.

"what--"

The old bachelor let out a cry of pain, and Qiao Wan'an took advantage of the situation to push him away and ran home desperately.

The old bachelor hugged his bleeding head and cursed: "Fuck! Little bitch, don't let me catch you!"

Qiao Wanan ran home and closed the door, her legs went limp in an instant.

Qiao Wan'an was frightened, and quickly turned on the light. The bright light gave him a breather. He wiped his face and found that his hands were covered with sweat.

Before he could calm down, the stepmother came down from upstairs and rolled her eyes when she saw him in a state of distress, "If you don't fall asleep in the middle of the night, who are you scaring by standing there!"

Seeing her, Qiao Wanan suddenly remembered what the old bachelor said before, so she couldn't help asking: "Auntie, I heard some rumors outside, did you spread them?"

Zhao Xiulian was stunned for a moment, then said with a guilty conscience: "What rumors! I don't know, don't mess around and wrong people!"

When Qiao Wanwan saw her like that, he suddenly understood something. He felt extremely absurd, "Why?"

Zhao Xiulian yelled furiously, "What why! I said you really don't know what to do!"

Qiao Wan'an's voice was hoarse, her eyes were scarlet, "Why do you want to spread rumors about me and a married man?"

His face was pale, his body was messed up, and he looked like an evil ghost crawling out of the ground as he suppressed his anger.

Zhao Xiulian was frightened, she wrapped her newly bought expensive coat, and said falteringly: "Can you blame me? It's not that your husband and his family despise you, and we have to disclose your identity to the public. Qian’s neighbors came to ask, what can I do?!”

"So you just let them say that about me outside?" If it was as usual, Qiao Wan'an would definitely not be so tough, but tonight he went through a thrilling experience, and he was so angry that he lost his cowardice, "But I obviously didn't do anything, so why do you say that about me!"

"I said what's the matter with you, you go home and vent your anger after being said a few words outside?"

"Good night, Qiao, you can be patient. Marrying a rich man is great!" Zhao Xiulian became impatient, "I can't stand it with just a few rumors from outside? What are you afraid of, a big man? If you say a few words, you can lose money." Meat?"

Qiao Wan'an's eyes were red, and she paused every word: "Gossip? Do you know that I almost..."

"What are you guys doing? You're making a lot of noise during the New Year's Eve."

Qiao Benguo won some money at the poker table, and was happily counting the money to go home. Who would have thought that seeing such a tense scene, he immediately suppressed his smile.

Zhao Xiulian quickly ran down, grabbed Qiao Benguo and cried first, "Look at your son! When the New Year's Eve comes back, he vents his anger on me. People say that stepmother is not easy to do. I didn't believe it at the time, but I finally got married , I know this suffering!"

Qiao Benguo was in a good mood because of the quarrel between these two people. He frowned and said good night to Qiao, "How can you be so ignorant at such an adult, please apologize to your aunt!"

Qiao Wan'an was so wronged that she couldn't speak, "Dad, I was right...she was outside first..."

Zhao Xiulian took the opportunity to add fuel and jealousy: "Old Qiao, don't embarrass him, people are different now, gentlemen, maybe they don't even pay attention to you."

When Qiao Benguo heard this, his anger became even more intense, and he asked sharply, "Are you not even listening to me now?"

The fear engraved in his bones made Qiao Wan'an subconsciously take two steps back, "Dad, I didn't..."

Seeing that Qiao Benguo's face was livid and about to erupt, he tried his best to sniff his nose, but tears still burst out of his eyes.

He wiped the tears off his face in embarrassment, turned his head to Zhao Xiulian and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry... Auntie."

Zhao Xiulian snorted coldly, "Little Hoof really thought he could fly into the sky if he didn't teach him a lesson."

Qiao Benguo pointed to the cold floor and said without hesitation, "Kneel here tonight and reflect on yourself."

Qiao Wan's voice became weaker and weaker, and she said with difficulty, "...OK."
