“Who are you fooling! Bring out the evidence!” The elderly female neighbor looked at Qian’e mockingly.
Qian’e stopped hiding behind Zhao Ni and stood in front of the elderly female neighbor. “Of course I have evidence!”
Upon hearing that Qian’e had evidence to prove that she was Xia Zhe’s girlfriend, Qiao Mei immediately became interested. She walked up and asked, “What evidence do you have? Tell us about it.”
“I have the love letter Xia Zhe wrote to me back then!” Qian’e glared at Qiao Mei and said.
Qiao Mei looked Qian’e in the eyes, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Xia Fang had already said that Xia Zhe clearly told his family that he did not like Qian’e. She believed Xia Fang.
Besides, Qian’e had her engagement broken off and even had an abortion during that time. If Xia Zhe knew about this, he would not behave so indifferently if he had any feelings for her.
Furthermore, when he knew that Qian’e was going to get married, he would have come back to fight for her hand. He could not possibly watch Qian’e suffer like this.
To say that Xia Zhe liked Qian’e? Qiao Mei really did not believe that.
“Then show it to me and we’ll see if it was written by Xia Zhe,” Qiao Mei said.
Qian’e panicked a little, seeing that this village girl was actually not intimidated by her. Qian’e put on airs and said, “You’re a country bumpkin from the countryside. Can you read?”
“How do you know that I can’t read? Even if I really can’t read, it can’t be that all these people here can’t read as well. If you say you have it, then bring it out for us to take a look,” Qiao Mei said, then she smiled and looked at the neighbors around her.
“That’s right, that’s right. All of us can read. Bring it out!” the neighbors echoed.
“Don’t tell me it’s all in your dream. This love letter is engraved in your mind so you can’t take it out!” Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e mockingly.
“Hahahahahaha!” The neighbors standing around burst out laughing.
“You!” Qian’e pointed at Qiao Mei and could not even say a word. She was so angry that her face turned red.
Qian’e did not expect Xia Zhe’s new wife to be so sharp-tongued that she could choke people to death with her words. In addition, she did not kick up any fuss either. She could make people speechless with just a few words.
Feeling stressed, Qian’e said anxiously, “The love letter is in my house! It’s very precious to me! How can I have it with me everywhere I go!”
“Then is your house in this compound, and is it far?” Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e and asked her.
For a moment, Qian’e did not know how to answer. Seeing that Qian’e did not say anything for a long time, Qiao Mei looked at the neighbors beside her.
“It’s in this compound. It’s that building!” The elderly female neighbor even pointed it out to Qiao Mei.
“That’s right, it’s just on the third floor. A round trip will only take five minutes!” someone shouted from the crowd.
“Alright, you can walk slowly. I’ll give you 10 minutes. Go get the letter and we’ll all wait for you,” Qiao Mei said with her arms crossed.
Qiao Mei knew that Qian’e would not be able to produce the letter. It was not possible that Xia Zhe could write such a thing to Qian’e. If they really had any feelings for each other, things would have happened long ago. There was no need to wait until now, when everyone was not that young anymore.
Furthermore, with Xia Zhe’s stubborn temper, there was no way that he would give up if he really wanted to marry someone. Qian’e definitely did not have any evidence in her hands.
Qian’e stared daggers at Qiao Mei, wishing that she could cut Qiao Mei into pieces.
“What’s wrong, is 10 minutes not enough? Or is there really no such letter, or are you unable to imitate Xia Zhe’s handwriting in these 10 minutes?” Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e curiously.
“Exactly!”
“Looks like she really doesn’t have any evidence. She’s just bluffing here!”
When the neighbors saw how nervous Qian’e looked, they could roughly guess what was going on. If the letter was real, it would not just be Qian’e who would rush home to retrieve it to prove her innocence and that what she usually said was true. Even her mother, Zhao Ni, would have done the same.
Moreover, she would not have waited until now. If she really had received any token of love, she would have produced it and made it public long ago.
“I! I just forgot where I put it! I have to look for it! I can definitely give it to you!” Qian’e said as she looked at Qiao Mei.
“Oh, didn’t you say that Xia Zhe’s letter is oh so precious to you? Why aren’t you able to find it now?” Qiao Mei pretended to look at Qian’e in confusion.
When Zhao Ni saw how aggressive Qiao Mei was and Qian’e not being able to say anything to refute her, she stood up for her daughter and said, “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not! Xiao’e, let’s go!”
