Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 266: Lin Xiang, I Regret It

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Lin Xiang, I Regret It
"Expose the fact that Deng Jiaxin and her father collaborated to intercept your admission letter, and let Deng Jiaxin impersonate you to attend university. It would be best if the Township Party Secretary of Mianyang Town knows!"
Lin Xiang considered many possibilities, but she never expected that what Yang Lihua wanted her to do was this.
Lin Xiang didn’t fully agree, nor did she ask Yang Lihua why she insisted on doing this. She only asked Yang Lihua with concern and anxiety, "Lihua, did something happen? Did Chen Qiqiang wrong you?"
On the other end of the phone, Yang Lihua didn’t answer Lin Xiang’s question for a long time.
After a long silence, Lin Xiang heard her take two deep breaths before she slowly spoke, "Girl, will my request make things difficult for you?"
As for the question Lin Xiang asked, Yang Lihua brushed it aside lightly.
Lin Xiang wasn’t the type to delve into things unnecessarily. Since Yang Lihua wasn’t willing to say, she decided not to ask.
"It’s not difficult. But I need to know, how did Deng Jiaxin offend you, and to what extent do you need me to go?"
Yang Lihua remained silent.
Just when Lin Xiang thought she didn’t want to say, she slowly said, "Just now, a few minutes before I called you, Deng Jiaxin had just finished a call with Chen Qiqiang. In the call, she told Chen Qiqiang to make sure I do whatever it takes, whether to threaten you or deceive you, to make you agree to give up the university spot to her."
"That bastard Chen Qiqiang doesn’t know what he’s thinking. Even though he knows that Deng Jiaxin’s plan is impossible, as soon as she persuaded him, he immediately agreed. He didn’t even go to work, took leave, came back to find me, and forced me to call you!"
From Yang Lihua’s resentful description, Lin Xiang understood what she had been through recently.
Before returning to Beijing, Lin Xiang visited the residential area of the cotton spinning factory to check things out.
That day was supposed to be Chen Qiqiang and Yang Lihua’s wedding day, but because of Deng Jiaxin, a fierce dispute erupted in the Chen family.
At the time, Lin Xiang stood outside the Chen family’s window and saw Chen Qiqiang’s parents and sister defending Yang Lihua. She thought the Chen family genuinely cared for Yang Lihua, so she left relieved.
But having lived two lifetimes without ever being married, how could Lin Xiang know the harsh reality behind marriage?
The reason Chen Qiqiang’s parents defended Yang Lihua was purely because they had ulterior motives for her.
And the decisive factor that made the Chen family agree to let Yang Lihua marry into the family was because she was Lin Xiang’s good friend.
"Do you find it ridiculous too? Before I got married, I considered many possibilities. Why would a city person willingly marry a rural girl like me? Even though my family’s conditions aren’t bad, I attended high school, and I’m good-looking, there are plenty of such girls not just in Mianyang Town, but even in our commune. Yet the Chen family chose me precisely because they found out that I’m good friends with you. They thought by marrying me, they could use your connection with the cotton spinning factory to secure a job for Chen Qiqiang’s sister and even promote Chen Qiqiang’s father a rank if possible. Ideally, they wanted Chen Qiqiang to get promoted too."
Just a few days after the wedding, the real motives of the Chen family were exposed as they urged Yang Lihua daily to call Lin Xiang to foster a relationship.
Each time Yang Lihua refused, they would indirectly make various allusions.
Previously, because of Deng Jiaxin, a conflict arose between Chen Qiqiang and Yang Lihua. To make Yang Lihua willingly sacrifice for them, Chen Qiqiang’s parents stood on Yang Lihua’s side.
When Yang Lihua kept refusing to ask Lin Xiang for help, the true nature of the Chen family was fully revealed.
"Lin Xiang, I can’t understand. Why should there be so much calculation in a marriage, when it’s supposed to unite two families?"
"Lin Xiang, I regret it."
At the wedding feast, Lin Xiang had already persuaded Yang Lihua that Chen Qiqiang was not a good partner, and that the Chen family’s tacit approval of Chen Qiqiang’s interactions with Deng Jiaxin showed they were not sensible people. She advised Yang Lihua to reconsider.
But at that time, Yang Lihua wanted to use marriage to change her standard of living, so even though Lin Xiang had advised her to that extent, she still insisted on marrying Chen Qiqiang.
Now, it was too late for regrets.
"If I really wanted to seek your help, I could have just asked you to arrange a job for me. I didn’t even ask you for help with my own job, so how dare the Chen family be so shameless?"
"You asked just now to what extent I should go. I hope that through this matter, we can topple Deng Jiaxin’s father!"
Lin Xiang could tell that Yang Lihua was truly angry.
Everything she told Lin Xiang was intolerable, and there were surely more untold grievances.
"I understand. Don’t worry, it will happen as you wish."
Initially, Lin Xiang had no intention of letting Deng Jiaxin and her father off the hook. Yang Lihua’s call merely hastened her actions.
After hanging up on Deng Jiaxin, Lin Xiang first called Director Chen.
"There’s actually such a thing? Lin Xiang, I don’t mean to criticize, but why didn’t you tell me about something this big? Even though I’m not in the education system, I know quite a few people. I could have at least helped you out!"
"Director Chen, thank you for your kindness, but after discovering the problem with the admission letter, I immediately contacted the Admissions Office director at Huaqing University to get a new one, so I didn’t want to bother you over this."
Lin Xiang downplayed the situation, but Director Chen knew that getting her admission letter back must have been extremely difficult for her.
"Director Chen, may I ask you to help me with something? I know it might be difficult, but you’re the only person I trust now."
Not only Director Chen, but also others could help. However, Director Chen was the only one who had the capability and was willing to assist Lin Xiang.
Directors Wu and Zhao also had the capability, but their ties of interest and emotion with Lin Xiang weren’t deep enough. It was unknown if they would take risks for Lin Xiang.
Fifth Uncle would be willing to help Lin Xiang, but the problem was his limited capability.
So, Lin Xiang could only turn to Director Chen.
Director Chen indeed had some means, and within half a day, the matter of Deng Jiaxin and her father stealing Lin Xiang’s admission letter and letting Deng Jiaxin impersonate her had widely spread throughout Mianyang Town.
Town government.
Just after finishing a meeting, the Township Party Secretary heard Secretary Wang this matter.
"Did Deng Qiye really steal Lin Xiang’s admission letter?"
Secretary Wang replied, "Yes. I specifically went to Town First Middle School to inquire. Lin Xiang returned recently precisely because of the admission letter issue, and Principal Wu even made a special trip to the provincial capital to find out how to resolve the impersonation issue."
