Chapter 681: Chapter 681 I Was Trapped

Seeing her younger son running off into the distance, Zhang Yuehua called out, "Don’t run, wait for us."

Seeing her son obediently stop ahead, she continued, "If her niece loses face, it’s her own loss of face. If she has ill intentions and seeks revenge, it’s inevitable that she might use some underhanded tactics, but the person at fault here is not your cousin."

After this incident, your cousin is actually much more stable than before."

The little cousin seemed content, only taking a few Guodanpi and not asking for anything more.

When they returned to the courtyard, Luo Qiao was surprised to see Yuan Jiaming, the third brother of the Yuan Family, stealing glances at his cousin now and then. Luo Qiao found it amusing—fate had arrived.

Luo Qiao approached Ning Lingyu and pulled her upstairs, "Cousin, I know all about what happened to you."

Ning Lingyu looked up at Luo Qiao, "I thought about your engagement today and didn’t want to mention these upsetting things to spoil your mood."

Luo Qiao said, "If someone could be lured away, it means they were not your true love. It was someone else’s mistake, so why punish yourself with their errors? I think you should be happy instead."

Ning Lingyu couldn’t help but smile at her cousin’s words, "Only you could say something like that. Who could be happy about such a thing?"

Luo Qiao poured a glass of water for her cousin, "Cousin, if you had found out after getting married, wouldn’t that have ruined your whole life? It’s better to cut your losses early. Being laughed at for a moment is better than sacrificing your life for them, right? And besides, once you kick out the trash, there are thousands of men far better than him waiting for you."

After hearing her cousin’s words, Ning Lingyu felt they made sense, "You’re right. It wasn’t me who made the mistake. I should live even better, just to anger those shameless two."

Luo Qiao smiled, "That’s the spirit."

Looking out the window, Luo Qiao noticed that Yuan Jiaming had moved to a spot where he could just look up and see the upstairs window. She burst into laughter, guessing that he must have fallen for her cousin at first sight.

If there truly was a destined connection, she wouldn’t mind playing matchmaker. If it actually worked out, it would be like ’turning an export into a domestic sale.’ Hahaha, even she had to laugh at her own analogy.

She pulled her cousin closer and asked softly, "What do you think about how Yuan Jiaming looks?"

Ning Lingyu looked down at Yuan Jiaming, who was sitting in the courtyard below, "He looks quite good. Why do you ask?"

Luo Qiao nudged her cousin with her arm, "Yuan Jiaming is starting his junior year of college this semester and is still single. Do you want me to play matchmaker for you?"

Now that Ning Lingyu’s worries had lifted, her true nature returned, "What nonsense are you talking about? With just a high school diploma, I wouldn’t dare to hope for such a match."

Luo Qiao, watching Yuan Jiaming look up again, said, "Cousin, sometimes you have to fight for your own happiness. There’s no talk of who’s out of whose league. Weren’t your grades really good before? Why did you miss getting into college?"

Ning Lingyu fell silent for a moment before responding, "I was set up by someone. I couldn’t take the last exam. But I didn’t dare tell my family, so I just had to accept my bad luck."

As soon as Luo Qiao heard this, her smile faded, "What exactly happened? How could you not tell your family about something so serious?"

Ning Lingyu said, "How can I explain it? I don’t have direct evidence. If I spoke out, everyone would probably think I was lying. Besides, that day’s events were really strange."

Luo Qiao frowned, "Can you tell me about it?"

Ning Lingyu appeared to be recalling painful memories, and after a long pause, she finally began, "Before the last exam, I had already entered the classroom, but then a classmate said there was someone outside looking for me, claiming it was a family member."

"Thinking it might be my mom needing to tell me something and since there was still time, I left the classroom. But to my surprise, just as I rounded the stairwell corner, someone hit me from behind and knocked me out."

"By the time I woke up, I found myself lying on the bathroom floor, untouched, as if I had fainted on my own."

"When I hurried out of the bathroom, the exam hall was already closed, and I couldn’t get in. I just told my family I had fainted and left out that it was an accident."

After listening to her story, Luo Qiao suddenly said, "Cousin, that’s not right, you haven’t been truthful with me. With your personality, you wouldn’t just let it go. There must have been something else that happened."
