The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

He didn't want to stay with the other members of the Gu family any longer. Yun Shu had been bullied by them a lot when she was a child, so he also disliked them, especially the twins from the Gu family.

Yun Le watched the man walk away, feeling utterly disappointed. He hadn't been this cold when he was with Yun Shu yesterday; his expression had been so gentle. Just now, he seemed to look at her with disdain, as if he wouldn't even glance at her. Was she really that insignificant, that unlikable?

My outfit is indeed a bit outdated. My style of dress is still like that of a high school student, all very proper. And with those black-rimmed glasses on my face, I look old-fashioned and lifeless. No wonder my appearance isn't very appealing.

At this moment, Yunle really wanted to change her appearance, but she didn't actually do so, always feeling that it wasn't the right time yet.

Yunle wandered around for a while and then strolled outside until almost noon before returning home, causing Yunhuan to search for her for a long time without success.

Meanwhile, Mingkun was driving home with Chen Manyun.

Mingkun told Manyun not to go to work in the morning, saying there was something urgent at home and she needed to go back immediately. Chen Manyun assumed something had happened at the Xiao family's house and obediently went back with him. She was quite happy on the way; Mingkun hadn't brought Yunshu back, which made her feel like he treated her like family. He only informed her if something happened. Indeed, a woman outside the family is always just a woman outside the family. Even if the relationship is good, reality must be faced. A relationship that isn't accepted or approved of by others is useless, no matter how well the two people get along; they will eventually separate. Moreover, that woman was disliked by her mother-in-law; she ultimately lost to her.

Just like her before, the man treated her so well, came from a wealthy family, and was successful in his career, but in the end, his family found out about them, she was called a mistress, and the two still broke up.

Now she needs to hold onto Xiao Mingkun tightly. What does it matter if he doesn't like her? As long as her future mother-in-law likes her, that's all that matters. Besides, the couple will develop feelings for each other over time.

Chen Manyun followed behind Xiao Mingkun. This man had been acting strangely since early this morning; his face was gloomy and serious. She wondered if her aunt's condition had worsened again.

When Da Cai saw Ming Kun in the courtyard, he ran up to him happily and acted very affectionately. When he saw Chen Manyun behind him, he immediately called out loudly.

"Da Cai, don't be like this, I'm here!" Ming Kun saw Da Cai barking at Chen Manyun with dissatisfaction and knew that it didn't like this woman. Even a dog knows that it doesn't like someone. Why is his mother so stubborn and insists on having that woman as her daughter-in-law? Why does she have to go through all this trouble to be satisfied?

After the two entered the hall, Mingkun saw his mother sitting there listening to the radio. Now that Sister Chang was doing the housework, Liu Yufen no longer needed to work and spent her days resting, watching TV, and listening to the radio. She had originally wanted to go out to play cards, but Sister Chang stopped her. She wasn't fully recovered yet, and playing cards was mentally taxing, so Mingkun wouldn't let her go out until she was fully recovered. Xiao Shaomin was still tending to his orchard as usual.

Around 10 a.m. today, Mingkun put his things upstairs and then came down to ask his mother, "Mom, how have you been these past few days? Does your head still hurt?"

"Ah Kun! When did you get back? Mom's fine! Don't worry about Mom, it wouldn't be good if it affected your work."

“If you really cared about me, why did you send Chen Manyun to my place? You know the company is full of men, and the only woman is Li Sao, who cleans. What can she do there?”

"Manyun said she could take care of you, clean the house, do your laundry, and cook for you."

Upon hearing this, Mingkun knew that it was that woman who had instigated his mother to go to his place, and he was right. This kind of woman couldn't be allowed to stay. Seeing her go upstairs to rest, he said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

"Are you going to tell me again that you don't like Manyun and want to break off the engagement between our two families?" The two of them came in as a couple just now, and they looked so good together! Now that her son is bringing this up again, she is naturally not happy.

“Mom, do you know Chen Manyun? Do you know what she did in the past? You wouldn’t say such things about your son after hearing her story,” Mingkun said unhappily.

"What could possibly happen to her? She's just graduated, a girl who's only just entered the workforce, what could possibly happen to her!"

"Mom, you're forcing your son to marry a secondhand woman. You want a woman who was adopted by someone for several years to be your daughter-in-law, don't you!"

"Brother Kun! How could you slander me! Even if you like Gu Yunshu, you can't slander me like this!" Chen Manyun came downstairs at this moment.

"I'm slandering you? You'll find out soon enough whether I'm wrong or not, making baseless accusations." He walked to the kitchen door and called out, "Sister Chang, when you're cooking, go and ask my dear sister-in-law Chen Manchun to come over right away!" Mingkun didn't give the Chen family any respect at all this time.

"Mom, you'll see what this family is really like soon enough!" Mingkun said to his mother, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Manyun. He wanted to see what tricks this woman could pull now that things had come up with.

Not long after, Mingkun's father, Xiao Shaomin, also returned. They were somewhat surprised to see Mingkun back and everyone in the hall. No sooner had he returned than Chen Manchun rushed over.

Chen Manchun was still wearing an apron. She was washing clothes at home when she heard from Sister Chang that Mingkun had an emergency and asked her to come over immediately. Thinking that something had happened to her sister again, she rushed over without even taking off her apron to wipe her hands.

"Ah Kun! What's wrong? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?" Chen Manchun came over and saw that his whole family was there. She couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She thought to herself that she shouldn't have come over in the first place, for fear that her sister's true identity would be discovered.

"Look what this is!" Mingkun took out a stack of things from his bag and immediately lit them up. In his hand were several photos. "Chen Manyun, take a look. You should know this best!"

Chen Manyun walked over and saw that each photo depicted her past. Her face immediately paled in horror, her eyes widening as she stared intently at the last one. Her entire body trembled, cold sweat seemingly seeping from every pore. The scene of her past being photographed, and the fact that it ended up in Xiao Mingkun's hands, made her tremble uncontrollably. Her most embarrassing side was exposed to everyone, especially in front of the man she loved most. She felt utterly ashamed and wished there was a hole in front of her to hide in, so she wouldn't see anyone or face anything.
