Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 468 Yu Haitang's Sophistry

Yu Haitang's body trembled slightly. When she heard He Yushui's words, her face instantly lost its color and turned as pale as paper.

She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall, and buried her head even lower, as if this could avoid all the accusations and gazes.

She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all because the fear in her heart had already overwhelmed it all.

"Enough of the rain!"

Seeing this, Yu Li quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Haitang. Although her voice was not loud, it was firm and could not be ignored.

She looked straight at He Yushui, her eyes flashing with dissatisfaction and reproach, "Haitang is your sister-in-law after all, how can you talk to her like that? She's already feeling bad enough, can't you be a little more understanding and tolerant?"

As soon as Yu Li finished speaking, there was still a hint of blame in the air. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to continue to defend Yu Haitang, but was finally interrupted by Yu Haitang's action.

Yu Haitang gently pulled Yu Li's arm, and her eyes conveyed a silent understanding and request. There was both gratitude and uneasiness in her eyes, as if to say, "Sister, stop talking. My problem is not solved yet."

Yu Li felt her sister's gaze. Although she was unwilling, she had to shut her mouth obediently and gave Yu Haitang a comforting look. That look was full of complex emotions - heartache, worry, and a hint of imperceptible blame.

A hint of understanding flashed in He Daqing's eyes and he sighed softly. It was obvious that he had heard the deep meaning in Yu Li's words, but he was more concerned about and protective of Haitang.

He slowly turned to Yu Haitang, his eyes gentle but firm, as if encouraging her to bravely tell the truth.

"Haitang, Yushui is here today too, so let's talk it out. Tell us in detail how Yushui left you behind yesterday, and we can see if there's any misunderstanding."

He Daqing deliberately emphasized the word "misunderstanding" to remind everyone that he would rather believe that this was an unintentional mistake.

Yu Haitang's body trembled slightly when she heard this. She looked up at He Daqing, a trace of resentment and hesitation flashing in her eyes. She thought that since they knew the truth of the matter, couldn't they just pretend nothing happened and get away with it?

"Yes, yes, you have to tell me how I lost you on the road yesterday. The more I think about it, the more confused I get. How come I don't remember anything at all?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in He Yushui's words, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but the sparks in her eyes revealed the dissatisfaction in her heart that had not yet been completely calmed down.

He Daqing glared at He Yushui, his eyes filled with both blame and helplessness, as if saying, "Girl, why don't you keep your word?" He shook his head gently, his action full of disappointment at He Yushui's failure to keep her promise.

He Yushui caught this subtle change in expression, and her cheeks immediately blushed, with embarrassment and regret intertwined.

She secretly glanced at He Daqing, then lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, her hands unconsciously twisted together, her eyes flickering, and finally she mustered up the courage to look for Wang Xin's figure with her peripheral vision.

Wang Xin saw this, his heart was filled with tenderness and pity. He slowly stood up, walked to He Yushui's side, stood behind her like a protector, without saying a word, just staring at her quietly with his loving eyes, as if to say:

"It's okay, I'm here."

He patted He Yushui's shoulder gently, the movement was gentle but firm, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing up circles of gentle ripples.

He Yushui felt the warmth, and the uneasiness and embarrassment in her heart gradually dissipated. She looked up at Wang Xin, gratitude and trust flashing in her eyes, and a relieved smile finally bloomed at the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room subtly relaxed, and an imperceptible tension seemed to permeate the air.

Yu Haitang's gaze wandered among the crowd and finally fixed on He Yuzhu. Complex emotions flickered in her eyes - a desire for help and a hint of barely perceptible dependence.

She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was mustering up her courage, but when she saw He Yuzhu slightly turned his head and deliberately avoided her sight, a hint of loss quickly flashed across her eyes.

Yu Haitang pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress her inner indignation. When she turned her gaze to He Yushui, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She glared at He Yushui quickly, her eyes were sharp and brief, as if she wanted to express her dissatisfaction with this silent language.

However, she soon realized that this was not a wise move, so she quickly lowered her head, her long hair falling, hiding the viciousness that flashed in her eyes.

When she looked up again, Yu Haitang's face had been replaced with a gentle and soft expression, and her voice was deliberately lowered a few notches, with a barely perceptible tremor:

"Yesterday, I was indeed feeling a little unwell, and I wanted to ask Yu Shui to bring me some food. I didn't expect that when I met Aunt Qin, I casually mentioned it, and I didn't expect the story to be spread like this. It was only later that I found out that everyone had misunderstood Yu Shui."

Her tone was full of helplessness and grievance, as if she was also a victim. After saying this, Yu Haitang lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was hiding some emotion.

She unconsciously folded her hands together and rubbed her fingers gently, revealing her inner tension and anxiety.

However, although she tried hard to appear more sincere and apologetic, the reluctance and self-defense that welled up from the bottom of her heart still inadvertently revealed itself.

Yu Haitang knew that she was not wrong, but the development of things was beyond her expectations, which put her in such a predicament. But she also understood that at this moment, keeping a low profile might be the best choice.
