The compound crowd was stunned. The big shot of the neighborhood had actually married a country girl. Was he looking for someone to fight alongside him? Who knew what Gu Qingye was thinking, wanting a broad-shouldered pig farmer for a wife?
When they finally saw her, everyone’s eyes went wide. What happened to the pig farmer? What happened to the face full of pockmarks?
Good heavens, she was even more beautiful than the women on Xiangjiang movie posters.
Gu Qingye had planned to stay single for life. But someone set him up and ruined the woman’s reputation. Under her threat and his superior’s persuasion, he married her.
Chen Jiao woke up to find she had gone from being the legitimate daughter of a duke to a slightly dimwitted country girl. On the verge of tears, she discovered she had lost her innocence, and tearfully demanded that the man take responsibility. If he refused, she had no face to go on living.
She thought this marriage was one she had forced upon him, and that mutual respect would be enough. She never expected him to keep making advances.
