Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Is She Out of Her Mind?

Huo Jingrui’s lips curled into a sneer as he lifted his leg, carrying his load of firewood and vanished from the spot. As for whether the person behind him was hurt or injured, what did that have to do with him?

Zhang Wenjuan was thrown to the ground and took a long time to regain her strength. By the time she shouted the word "molest" again, there was no trace of Huo Jingrui.

But the commotion on her side naturally startled the companions who were digging wild vegetables not far away. They all stood up and ran towards her in unison.

Someone asked urgently, "Zhang Wenjuan, what happened?"

Zhang Wenjuan was desperate and shouted, "Quick, come here, someone molested me."

But as soon as she said this, everyone froze, all of them searching for someone.

Yet where was there anyone nearby who could have molested her?

After exchanging glances, someone stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Wenjuan, where is the person?"

Zhang Wenjuan pointed ahead, "Ran over there."

Everyone looked in that direction for a long time but didn’t see a shadow of a person, all thinking: Could this person be hallucinating?

Zhang Wenjuan noticed everyone was not moving and looked at her strangely, "What kind of expression is that? I’m like this, and you don’t even help me. You really have no sympathy."

Someone couldn’t bear it and said, "Zhang Wenjuan, there has to be a limit to your nonsense. There’s no shadow of a ghost around here, where did someone molest you, or maybe you met a ghost?"

Zhang Wenjuan got directly angry, "Didn’t we see someone chopping wood here when we came up?"

One female educated youth who didn’t get along with Zhang Wenjuan said irritably, "Zhang Wenjuan, are you insane? There was someone chopping wood before, but now where’s that person? Singing this note, are you trying to extort someone?"

Others didn’t know, but she came from Beijing with Zhang Wenjuan, and since she changed her last name, she had heard quite a bit about her. Her character was really bad, using even such low-handed tactics.

Zhang Wenjuan was anxious and also furious, speaking again with a crying tone, "You’re bullying people. I’m just a girl; can I use my reputation as a raft?"

The female educated youth snorted, "Then tell us who molested you?"

Zhang Wenjuan feigned anger and said, "It was Doctor Chu’s fiancé from the clinic."

Then she deliberately added, "I don’t know what his name is, I’ve just seen him a few times before, know who he is."

With these words, some believed her, some didn’t, leading to a split.

Those who didn’t believe felt there was something strange about Zhang Wenjuan. After all, she claimed someone molested her, but when they arrived, there wasn’t a trace of anyone. They couldn’t just take her word for it.

They couldn’t believe anyone could run away that fast.

On the other hand, some thought, how could Zhang Wenjuan, just a girl, joke about her reputation, and indeed, she was somewhat disheveled.

The female educated youth who didn’t get along with Zhang Wenjuan looked impatient, glanced at her watch, "Alright, we don’t have time to waste with you here."

Another female educated youth standing next to her asked, "What time is it?"

That female educated youth glanced at Zhang Wenjuan lying on the ground, turned to leave, replying, "Ten o’clock, if we dawdle any longer, we might miss lunch."

They had spent over an hour climbing the mountain empty-handed, and until now hadn’t dug up many wild vegetables. If they didn’t hurry, they wouldn’t collect much firewood, and wouldn’t get back in time to make progress. Naturally, they didn’t have the leisure to waste any more time.
