I’ll go get revenge for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did Shangguan Xi not answer Wu Chenjun, but she cried even louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many reasons that could make Shangguan Xi cry so heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be because of some pretty-faced boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With slightly furrowed brows, Wu Chenjun looked up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he saw Zuo Ling not far away, laughing and chatting with another woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pretty-faced boy, having Shangguan Xi so good and not cherishing her, actually went to flirt with other women!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun’s eyes filled with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it Zuo Ling, that pretty-faced boy who bullied you? Wait! I’ll go beat him up right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daring to bully Shangguan Xi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t see whose woman Shangguan Xi is!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun released Shangguan Xi and strode over toward Zuo Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t go!” Shangguan Xi reached out and grabbed Wu Chenjun’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun could easily have brushed off Shangguan Xi’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he just couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand felt electrified, tingling all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t go!” Shangguan Xi choked up, “Could you take me away from here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to face Zuo Ling, nor did she want Zuo Ling to see her in such a sorry state!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wanted to leave this place immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Wu Chenjun gripped Shangguan Xi’s hand firmly, shielding her in his arms and using his suit jacket to cover her face, striding toward the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passersby looked on curiously, but none saw Shangguan Xi’s discomposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun escorted Shangguan Xi to the car, “Where do you want to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi shook her head, “I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling was her first love, and the one she wanted to marry ideally; the sudden turn of events made her feel as if her world had collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole world turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun reached out and ruffled Shangguan Xi’s hair, “It’s just a man, isn’t it? Shangguan Xiaosi, are you that frail? I remember the old you wasn’t like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi glared at Wu Chenjun, her voice still thick with tears, “What do you know? You’ve never been in love.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know I’ve never been in love?” Wu Chenjun countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi was taken aback, “Ah? Have you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense, after all. Wu Chenjun had been abroad for so many years; how could he have never been in love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun smiled and handed Shangguan Xi a tissue, “Want to wipe your tears? You’re stronger than me; at least you once had love, while I never even had that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a trace of forlornness in the depths of Wu Chenjun’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi casually wiped her eyes, “Ah? What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um…” Wu Chenjun fell silent, “I mean, it’s about being secretly in love! Shangguan Xiaosi, after all these years, how can you still be as clueless as before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His remark was ambiguous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around him could see that he liked Shangguan Xi, except for Shangguan Xi herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Shangguan Xi really hadn’t noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah? You have someone you secretly like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun was handsome, well-educated, from a good family, and had studied abroad. Shangguan Xi thought he surely wouldn’t lack girlfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unimaginable that Wu Chenjun had someone he secretly admired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun said with a smile, “You can have a boyfriend, why can’t I have someone I secretly admire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi sniffled, “I—I didn’t mean that; my point is your standards are so high, what kind of girl wouldn’t be satisfied with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun sighed, “I also want to ask her what she doesn’t like about me, so I can change. Unfortunately, she doesn’t even want to give me a chance to change.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi sighed too, “Wu Chenjun, you are so pitiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to her, Wu Chenjun indeed seemed to be a lot more pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This comparison made Shangguan Xi feel a bit more balanced in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that in this world, she wasn’t the only pitiful person…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m so pitiful, does it make you feel a little better?” Wu Chenjun turned his head to look at Shangguan Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi paused for a moment, then said, “Wu Chenjun, you’re not making up this story just to comfort me, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I look like that great of a person?” Wu Chenjun retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun continued, “I’m serious, do you want me to go beat up that pretty boy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need,” Shangguan Xi shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun frowned slightly, “You still have illusions about him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made sense; three years of a relationship was not something you could let go of just because you said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mysterious expression surfaced in the depths of Wu Chenjun’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like he was a little short of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xi immediately denied, “How could that be possible! I’m not an idiot! After all Zuo Ling has done, why would I still harbor any illusions about him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wouldn’t you let me beat him up then?” Wu Chenjun countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi said, “Because I’m afraid he’ll dirty your hands. For a scumbag like him, it’s not worth it at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi had a clear sense of love and hate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, she had completely given up on Zuo Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her family was right, a person with character issues like Zuo Ling simply didn’t deserve her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She deserved better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she regretted not listening to her family earlier and leaving Zuo Ling sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Shangguan Xi was also thankful that she had uncovered Zuo Ling’s true colors early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had found out after getting married, it wouldn’t have ended well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back, she realized how foolish she had been!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be deceived by Zuo Ling so completely…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should have realized long ago that Zuo Ling had ill intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun’s eyes lit up as if he had come back to life, “Are you speaking truthfully?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi nodded, “Of course it’s true!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun then said, “If it’s the truth, then why are you crying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three years, I wasted three years with him. My heart isn’t made of stone, how could I not have any reaction?” That was the prime of her youth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting three precious years on a scumbag like Zuo Ling, how could Shangguan Xi not feel upset?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun was still a bit worried, “What if he turned over a new leaf? Would you forgive him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” Shangguan Xi said firmly. “A scumbag is a scumbag! Even if he’s reborn, as long as he’s still Zuo Ling, I will never forgive him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile slowly appeared on Wu Chenjun’s lips, “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happiness came so unexpectedly, he couldn’t believe it; what should he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it’s true!” Shangguan Xi affirmed resolutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having known Shangguan Xi for so many years, Wu Chenjun knew well that she was a woman of her word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shangguan Xi was so certain, she definitely wouldn’t rekindle the past flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant his chance had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun started the car, “Shall I take you home now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi shook her head, “I don’t want to go home right now. Wu Lao San, let’s go for a drink? Can we go to Blue Night Bar?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the era, there’s never a shortage of nightlife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By ’85, Beijing already had several bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun thought for a moment, “Are you sure you want to go to the bar?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi nodded, “I’ve never been to a bar my entire life! Can you take me just this once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun hesitated, then nodded, “Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bars in the ’80s were a bit different from those in later years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bars of later times were glitzy and extravagant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, bars were simply places for drinking, not only orderly but also quite elegant, open even during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi ordered two pitchers of beer in one go. At first, it was fine, but after a couple of glasses, she started crying while drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually prim and proper, Shangguan Xi became a different person when drunk, hugging Wu Chenjun and cursing out Zuo Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chenjun just played along with her antics and joined in the cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ni Yang and Du Jiaojiao were still picking out clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Jiaojiao was a shopping guru, and in no time, she was carrying seven or eight bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang also selected a cheongsam for herself, along with a coat and a down jacket, and bought a set for each of the three elders, her parents, and Little Ni Yun at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The beauty, Xiaoxi hasn’t returned yet. Are you sure she’s alright?” Du Jiaojiao was a little worried about Shangguan Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She has Wu Chenjun with her, she’ll be fine.” Wu Chenjun grew up with Shangguan Xi since childhood, and he was a gentleman; Ni Yang wasn’t worried about Shangguan Xi at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1548,"2026-06-05T19:00:26.079Z",1,"novelbin.me","c5d49a761d77e4f9bbb0b073d0d23482ce21a0861554a5c98fd4c0304083ad55","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-1047","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-1045",1410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-of-a-village-girl-cover.jpg"]
