Two versions of the rumor battled for dominance in Dafeng Village.
At first, each had its supporters and they were neck and neck, but slowly, the second version gained the upper hand.
But some people weren't convinced.
"What's so special about Ji Huan? If Song Jing really liked her, wouldn't she just throw herself at him? It's ridiculous to think she'd refuse! I still think she was the one who seduced Song Jing."
Most of the people saying this were girls of the same age as Ji Huan.
Who in Dafeng Village didn't want to marry Song Jing? Several families with daughters of marriageable age had fought openly and schemed secretly for the chance.
But ever since Mrs. Meng had made her stance clear, everyone had given up hope and acted as if nothing had ever happened.
Since no one had a chance, there was no reason for jealousy or envy.
But now, out of the blue, Song Jing—a man completely out of their league—was suddenly entangled with Ji Huan. Who could possibly feel good about that?
