When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Chapter 122: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in an Era Novel (9)

Jiang Zishi took a deep breath, practically squeezing the words through his gritted teeth.

"Chi Yun’er, why are you bringing this up again? I’ve already told you—it doesn’t matter whose fault it was. No one saw what happened between you two, so there’s no way to prove anything."

"The fact is, you were standing on the bridge while Comrade Bian fell into the water, got a leg cramp, and nearly drowned. You think that even if I believe you, even if everyone else believes you, the people from Bian Family Village and the village head’s family are going to buy it?"

"What’s past is past. Just let it go. I know you feel wronged, but this is reality!"

"You have to learn to bow to circumstances, Yun’er. When are you ever going to grow up?"

And just like that, he’d deftly turned the conversation back on her.

Jiang Zishi, however, felt completely relieved.

’I knew it,’ he thought. ’How could Chi Yun’er possibly give up on clearing her name so easily?’

’And how could she just quietly accept the fact that he was marrying someone else without a single tear or tantrum?’

’She must have gotten scared and decided to change her strategy. A tactical retreat, is that it?’

Chi Yun’er hadn’t held out any hope in the first place; this was exactly what she’d expected. ’I can’t win an argument with him,’ she thought. ’Any verbal jab would be too weak, and I’d just be tipping him off.’

’Let him be arrogant for now. Once I pull the rug out from under him, we’ll see if he’s still smiling!’

She didn’t argue further. Instead, she bit her lip, her face a mask of hurt, indignation, and a hint of anger she dared not unleash.

Jiang Zishi pulled a few paper packets from his pocket and handed them to her. "This is cough medicine. I ran to flag down the doctor from the township clinic on my way to the village head’s house after work."

"Since you don’t want to go to the hospital, just be good and take your medicine. Get well soon."

"Comrade Bian and I would both appreciate your blessing."

"It’s also what the village head and Auntie want to see."

He deliberately stressed the words "village head" and "Auntie," reminding her of their conversation at noon.

Chi Yun’er took the packets, her head bowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. "Oh," she mumbled.

Jiang Zishi sighed softly. "Chi Yun’er, focus on getting better. I’ll ask the village head to arrange some light work for you."

"You can’t work in the fields, but you should be able to handle an office job, right? Writing articles, reading them for broadcasts?"
