Feng Zongqin's speech was magnanimous and received praise from people around him.

"The Gao family has done a great job. With so much betrothal gifts, they can marry a rich lady."

"Yes, the husband's family that Shopkeeper Xie found is really good."

Looking at the excitement outside, Xie Shuyao was almost laughing out of anger.

She walked down the stairs slowly and spoke calmly:

"There are so many things in this world, and there are even people forcing me to get married. May I ask Manager Gao, when did I ever say I wanted to marry your son? Are you making such a big scene to force me to submit? I knew you were shameless, but I didn't expect you to do such a wicked thing."

Gao Shengman had expected her to say this, and said seriously:

"How can you talk to an elder like that? Miss Xie and my son have a very good relationship, so why do you regret it? Could it be that you think the gift is too little? If it's less, we'll add more. But you can't go back on your word. So many neighbors are watching us."

After hearing this, the people around started discussing it in whispers.

"You can't be greedy as a person."

"That's right. Since you've set your sights on it, that's fine."

Xie Shuyao took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and raised her voice and said:

"I have never said that I like Gao Jiarui, not now, and not in the future. The Gao family's so-called marriage is just their wishful thinking. I don't want to repeat this a second time. If I hear rumors again, be careful or I will sue you to the government."

After hearing this, Gao Shengman chuckled. He had never heard of a woman who would go to the police to sue because of a rumor. It was really ridiculous. He was scared.

He winked at his son, and Gao Jiarui understood and said:

"Then why did you meet with me again and again? Oh, I get it. You must have someone else outside."

"You are out in the open all day long, so it's not surprising that you meet people from outside. As long as you break up, I can put aside the past and reconcile with you, but you must remember that after marrying into my Gao family, you must be honest."

Once these words were spoken, it was tantamount to roasting Xie Shuyao on the fire.

Some even went so far as to directly agree with it.

"No wonder the business is so hot, maybe it's because of her beauty."

"That's right. Look at the girls here, each one is prettier than the other. You can tell at a glance that they are not serious people."

The world is far more malicious towards women than men. It was Gao Jiarui who spoke, but it was Xie Shuyao who was scolded.

Qiao Yue, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and said to those people,

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are open for business. You don't know what we sell. Why are you making such a fuss? Our shopkeeper has nothing to do with the Gao family at all!"

The people brought by the Gao family started to make a noise, "You said it well, who can prove it? You flirted with my young master every other day, and now you have turned your back on him. Are you two-timing?"

Xie Shuyao looked at the scene and found that she was still too naive. She really underestimated the evil of human nature.

This is just making things up with open eyes, and she still wants to prove it. How can she prove something that doesn't exist?

She took a deep breath and decided to kick the man out and report him to the authorities.

But before she could speak, the door upstairs was suddenly opened, and a deep and powerful voice rang out, "I can prove it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked up.

Gao Jiarui sneered without even looking at her, "Who do you think you are? How can you prove it for her?"

However, as soon as he said this, he was dumbfounded.

Isn't this Pei Jingyi, the newly appointed Jianghuai General? My uncle had specially introduced him to him before.
