70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 172: Scapegoat

"Heh, Bai Xiaofu, that’s enough. Even joking has its limits. I was in the county five days ago, so whatever happened has nothing to do with me. Besides, I’m not indiscriminate, I wouldn’t fancy just anyone," Yin Yang said coldly. He shouldn’t have let this girl cling to him just because of face, and she was even getting more demanding.

"It’s you, definitely you. You even left me a note to meet outside," Bai Xiaofu said sadly.

"A note? Let me see it," Yin Yang sneered. Without pressing her, she wouldn’t say more, always making things more complicated for herself. He was utterly annoyed.

"Here it is. Are you saying this isn’t the love poem you wrote for me?" Bai Xiaofu fished a piece of paper out of her pocket.

Yin Yang took the paper and looked at what was written. Which bastard could this be? How could his handwriting be so ugly, and they even wrote his name in the wrong character, ’Yang’ as in ’sunshine’ instead of his own ’Yang’.

"Use your brain. This is my handwriting. See for yourself." Yin Yang pulled out a few sheets from his bag and tossed them in front of Bai Xiaofu.

Damn it, someone was impersonating him to tarnish his name, and he had to take the blame.

Xu Mumu stood not far away watching. If she had a pack of sunflower seeds, she’d be tempted to grab a small stool and munch on them while watching this scene. It was too thrilling.

Bai Xiaofu, holding the sheets Yin Yang tossed, became more and more broken. The difference in handwriting was like night and day.

Yin Yang’s writing was bold, even had some unique style, while the handwriting on the paper Bai Xiaofu held looked more like a child’s.

And those so-called love poems, Yin Yang wanted to vomit. Were they meant to disgust Bai Xiaofu or him? It was nothing short of a vulgar love note.

"What if you wrote it with your left hand?" Bai Xiaofu was still somewhat unwilling to believe.

"I’m sorry, I’ve practiced writing with my left hand too, and there’s no difference from my right hand. Besides, I wouldn’t make such a mistake with my own name," Yin Yang looked at Bai Xiaofu as if she were an idiot. With that kind of IQ, no wonder she got duped.

"What should I do then?" Bai Xiaofu broke down crying. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she knew she might have been tricked.

"How should I know? It’s none of my business. I still need to go to the county, so deal with your own issues and stop bothering me." Yin Yang took back the papers he had handed out.

After saying that, Yin Yang left directly. As for Bai Xiaofu, once she managed to get out of the mud pit, he didn’t care about her at all.

With no more drama to watch, Xu Mumu glanced at Bai Xiaofu, who was crying pitifully, and felt she might have figured out something.

Xu Mumu didn’t walk far when she saw Yin Yang waiting for her ahead. Looking at Yin Yang, her feelings were a bit complicated. After all, he was the male lead of the recent gossip.

"Yin Zhiqing, you’re quite the lady-killer," Xu Mumu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I can explain," Yin Yang said anxiously, worried that Xu Mumu might misunderstand something.

"What exactly happened?" Xu Mumu looked at Yin Yang with interest. There seemed to be no such event in the books, and Xu Mumu was very intrigued by it.

Seeing Xu Mumu’s expression, Yin Yang hesitated. Did she not care about him at all, only interested in the gossip? Didn’t his reputation matter?

Though Xu Mumu’s reaction hurt Yin Yang’s sensitive feelings a bit, he still briefly explained the situation.

Combining with what Bai Xiaofu just said, a few days ago, someone impersonated him to lure Bai Xiaofu out, drugged her, and took advantage of her.

When Bai Xiaofu regained consciousness, she clung to Yin Yang, asking him to take responsibility. Now everyone at the educated youth site knew about it, though it hadn’t been publicly spread yet.

These days, especially Shen Qi, had been constantly at odds with Yin Yang, furious that Yin Yang sullied his beloved girl and wouldn’t take responsibility. When he found out, he almost wanted to kill Yin Yang.

"I’m not blind. I wouldn’t fancy that fool, and would I resort to such low methods for someone I was interested in?" Yin Yang was thoroughly nauseated by the whole incident.

"Tsk tsk, who could’ve done such a thing? Could it be someone from the brigade?" Xu Mumu hesitated to say.

"I don’t know, but it must be someone who knows me and has some education." Yin Yang was also baffled, smeared and framed like this, he couldn’t just let it go.

"That narrows it down quite a bit. There aren’t many educated people in the brigade," Xu Mumu nodded. To be honest, having such a scumbag in the brigade put her in a foul mood too.

"Let’s not talk about it anymore. Are you going to the county to deliver translation documents for Brother Luo?" Yin Yang looked at the cloth bag Xu Mumu was carrying.

"Yes, Brother Luo mentioned this would be the last time this year, so I can have a good rest before the new year," Xu Mumu replied with a smile. Seeing Yin Yang not in the best mood, Xu Mumu didn’t press on with the subject.

"Indeed, you should rest for a bit. You’ve worked hard this period," Yin Yang nodded. Xu Mumu was so efficient, she’d almost completed the work for this year. Luo Yanrui had praised her in front of him several times—it couldn’t be helped, the girl he fancied was just that excellent.

Arriving in the county, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang first went to the experimental base. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Luo Yanrui was busy in the lab, and it took him over half an hour to come out.

"Finished so soon?" Luo Yanrui looked surprised at what Xu Mumu had brought.

"Yes, Mr. Luo can check it over." Luo Yanrui had insisted she call him teacher, Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have it checked. Are you doing this job again next year?" Luo Yanrui asked, clearly valuing the efficient translator, which saved them a lot of hassle.

"We’ll see," Xu Mumu didn’t rush to refuse. When money runs low, she could do it; it was just a bit exhausting.

However, constantly translating these documents had greatly improved Xu Mumu’s skills.

"Alright, whenever you’ve decided, we’re always happy to have you," Luo Yanrui said with a smile, looking forward to her potential. Yin Yang had mentioned she was in her senior year; once she graduated, he could recommend her to his mentor, bringing her in could be quite beneficial as they were in need of such talent.

Having no idea about Luo Yanrui’s thoughts, Xu Mumu went with Yin Yang to collect her earnings. Holding the money, she was overjoyed; her watch was finally a certainty.

"So happy with just this amount of money?" Yin Yang, seeing Xu Mumu’s joy, couldn’t help but feel better himself.

"Of course I’m happy. I’ve saved up enough, and soon I’ll look for Qi Feng. Go wherever you’d like," Xu Mumu said with a grin.
