Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 100 Forgot to Give You

Speaking of which, he was also trying to maintain Cheng Li’s dignity, but unfortunately, Cheng Li didn’t get it and thought the village chief was on Jiang Xue’s side.

The village chief had Cheng Li’s best interests at heart, but Cheng Li didn’t appreciate it. She pointed to her still bruised face and said, "Village chief, she hasn’t even settled the account of hitting me. Why should I apologize to her? Even if someone has to apologize, it should be her apologizing to me first."

Hearing Cheng Li’s words, the village chief was so angry he couldn’t speak. He never imagined that his efforts for Cheng Li and the village were not only unappreciated but also dredged up past incidents.

He wasn’t unaware of her getting beaten. But he also heard that Jiang Xue hit Cheng Li because she urged Jiang Xue to divorce.

Marriage is a big deal. It’s not just Jiang Xue; if he heard something like that, he would also smack the person across the face a few times.

"Apologize?" Jiang Xue, hearing Cheng Li’s words, sneered, put away the letter, and said, "Alright then, since you want me to apologize, let’s talk it out properly and see if I hit you mistakenly."

"Jiang Xue, what do you want to say? Are you saying it was understandable for you to hit me? Nonsense, saying I incited you and Mu Qiancheng to divorce, who heard it? It was just you saying that." Cheng Li’s ability to shift blame was indeed not small.

She had already thought it through. When she was speaking to Jiang Xue, only Mu Qiancheng was in the house. Even if Mu Qiancheng heard it, he’s in the military now and can’t testify.

So, she just had to deny it stubbornly.

Cheng Li plotted very well.

Because Jiang Xue really had no way to prove it.

"Me saying it myself?" Jiang Xue sneered, pointed above her head, and said, "The gods are three feet above, lying frequently will result in divine retribution."

"Who knows who’s lying." Cheng Li wasn’t afraid. Such divine punishment talk was just nonsense. If gods really existed, she had done so many things and hadn’t been struck by lightning.

"Fine, you don’t admit it, that’s okay. Let’s talk about today’s matter. You took this letter, didn’t you?" Jiang Xue didn’t bother arguing with Cheng Li about past matters since there were no witnesses, and Cheng Li’s denial left her helpless.

However, regarding today’s matter, there were witnesses and physical evidence, so she wasn’t worried about Cheng Li distorting the truth.

"I, I forgot to give it to you." Cheng Li’s expression changed slightly when Jiang Xue mentioned the letter, and she began to argue. She had forgotten to give it to Jiang Xue, and taking it and not giving it back were two different things.

"Oh, really? Forgot to give it?" Jiang Xue sneered, waved the letter in her hand, and said, "Forgot to give means opening the letter?"

"Don’t tell me you were curious, so you opened my letter."

"Yes, I was curious." Cheng Li clung to it, but even she didn’t believe her own words.

Having heard the exchange between her and Jiang Xue, the village chief looked at Cheng Li with disappointment and said, "Cheng Li, you are educated, you even attended middle school, don’t you know that opening someone else’s mail is illegal?"

"I?" Cheng Li didn’t expect the village chief to say such a thing, especially seeing the disappointment on his face, she started to regret it and said, "I didn’t think it through. Jiang Xue and I used to be good friends and shared everything. When I got the letter, I thought it was okay, so I went ahead and opened it."
