Chapter 1090: Chapter 1089: The Truth Emerges 3

Upon hearing the accusations of Wang Xinlai’s wife, Lu’s father, who had remained silent, rubbed Xibao’s stomach and said indifferently, "I would also like to ask Comrade Wang Lingzhi, what unforgivable acts has our Lu Family committed to deserve such vicious slander from you? We in Guan Cheng live honestly and uprightly, so why would you falsely accuse him?"

"What are you saying? I don’t understand a thing. What does this have to do with my daughter Lingzhi?" Wang Xinlai frowned deeply.

"I’ll explain," Secretary Zheng pushed up his glasses, which were broken at the bridge and wrapped with tape, and methodically recounted the complaints made by Wang Lingzhi and his own investigation results, "Although the person in question, Guan Cheng, isn’t here since he went to sell vegetables, we can first confirm that the Lu Family has not exploited or oppressed the two adopted children. The so-called ’working them like animals’ simply involved doing some household chores. With Comrade Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue serving in the army for many years, shouldn’t the children fend for themselves?"

Before Wang Xinlai and his wife could react, Miao Fengqin came in with her younger sister-in-law, "Fengqiao and I can testify that when we approached Guan Cheng with the marriage proposal from the Wang Xinlai family upon their request, Guan Cheng instantly refused!"

"That’s right, Guan Cheng said back then that not only would he not be a live-in son-in-law, even if he would, he wouldn’t choose Wang Lingzhi."

After Wang Fengqiao finished speaking, she gave Wang Lingzhi a sidelong glance. To go to such despicable lengths just to achieve her own objectives was utterly detestable. Even if Guan Cheng’s reputation were to be utterly ruined, he would never marry her as a compromise.

Guan Cheng, despite looking refined and scholarly, was incredibly tough on the inside. He would rather remain unmarried for life than marry Wang Lingzhi.

Wang Lingzhi, hearing in front of so many people that Guan Cheng said he would not choose her, was both anxious and angry, her face fluctuating between red and white. She felt that the situation was amiss, not unfolding as she had hoped, and panic began to rise in her heart.

Lu’s father immediately followed up, "Auntie, could you please go find Jin Cuihua for us?"

"Why are you looking for Cuihua?" Miao Fengqin didn’t understand.

"Yesterday morning, Jin Cuihua came to find Xiaoxue, also at the behest of Wang Xinlai’s family and Wang Lingzhi, hoping Guan Cheng would become their live-in son-in-law. It seemed they thought Xiaoxue could make a decision on her own without Guan Cheng’s agreement. However, considering the children’s futures, Xiaoxue outright refused. And when Acheng returned home to fetch something, he made it very clear to Jin Cuihua, with definite intent."

Miao Fengqin quickly found Jin Cuihua. Since their homes were close by, she returned in a moment during the lunch hour.

Jin Cuihua, already briefed about the specifics on her way over, entered and said, "I can testify that Qingxue indeed refused, and Guan Cheng had no intention of becoming a live-in son-in-law. I told them this when I went back to convey the message to Lingzhi’s family. Aren’t her parents here? You can ask them if I lied. I even said at that time that it wouldn’t be possible. I had my reasons; previously, someone had tried to engage Guan Cheng through his great aunt’s younger sister, but Guan Cheng never agreed. Many people know this. Actually, it’s not fair to blame Guan Cheng. It’s not because he has many brothers at home and his parents can’t afford to find him a wife, he would have to be a live-in son-in-law, nor is it because there is something wrong with him."

From this, it could be confirmed that Guan Cheng had not agreed to any arrangement with Wang Lingzhi to become a live-in son-in-law. All but one of the crimes Wang Lingzhi reported had been dismissed, leaving only the accusation of hooliganism.
