The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Mom is so sorry. I didn't know she was that kind of person... I thought they were just an ordinary family, someone I knew well, and she was Manchun's sister. Although Manchun used to be a bit domineering, she's been relatively well-behaved in our village all these years. I just never imagined her sister would be like this..."

“Mom, it’s not just rich people who can cause trouble; some poor people are even more reckless when they do it! No wonder that after we got engaged, Manyun’s mother kept trying to get Manyun to live with us. Luckily, she didn’t do anything to her. Mom, please don’t arrange any more marriages for me. What if I end up with another girl like Manyun? As for my marriage, don’t worry about it. Your son will definitely make sure you have a grandson in your life.”

"Really? You're willing to break up with Yun Shu and not want her anymore!"

Liu Yufen was immediately overjoyed. Could it be that her son had finally come to his senses?

Mingkun's lips twitched. Why was his mother still so averse to Yunshu? Helplessly, he said, "Mom, I know my place. Don't worry about me. Go lie down for a while! You look terrible." Mingkun wanted to tell her that he and Yunshu had already registered their marriage, but seeing his mother's pale face, he knew she must have been upset by what happened with Chen Manyun. He couldn't upset her any further; he would tell her later at a more suitable time.

"Old woman, we don't need to worry about Ah Kun anymore. Look at him, he's always been very sensible, even more mature than Minmin. He's also the boss of a company, how could he be less intelligent than you! Go lie down for a while!"

After being persuaded by Xiao Shaomin, Liu Yufen finally wanted to rest for a while. She had been so angry about Manyun's matter that her chest felt tight and she almost couldn't recover. Oh well! Her husband was right. They knew their son very well. He had been very steady over the years, whether he was in the army or later started a company. He had never caused them any worry. As for Yunshu, it was a pity that she had such a fate. Otherwise... She couldn't think about it anymore. No matter how good she was, she couldn't be her daughter-in-law. She would let Akun find someone suitable for himself in the future.

When Mingkun saw that his mother had gone to rest, he told his father to go have some tea and take a break and not to work anymore. He then went to the kitchen and continued cooking the dishes that Sister Chang hadn't finished cooking.

When Sister Chang returned, she felt a little guilty seeing that the food was already prepared.

"Sister Chang, it's alright. I cook occasionally, otherwise my skills will get rusty. Also, my parents are straightforward people, so just make yourself at home here and don't be too reserved."

"Don't worry about me. Everyone in the neighborhood knows your family's character. I'm not being polite! I'm just glad you discovered that woman's true colors. I knew that girl was frivolous before; she seemed to be on the phone all the time, and she was very rude to the people on the phone. She wasn't as gentle as she usually seemed. Thinking about it now, it's really scary. She's two-faced. She's so young, yet she loves to cause trouble like this..." Sister Chang sighed repeatedly. Fortunately, although her daughter was only in high school, she and her husband were strict with her, so she wasn't as lacking in self-respect as Chen Manyun. This shows how important family education is; that family's behavior must have been questionable in general.

Seeing that Sister Chang was comfortable staying at his home, Mingkun felt relieved. He was usually away from home, his mother was sick, and his father was incapable of taking care of anyone, not even cooking a meal. Fortunately, he had Sister Chang take care of the family, which allowed him to focus on his work outside.

He went into his mother's room and found her asleep. He came out and asked Sister Chang to keep her mother's food warm so she could eat it when she woke up.

Liu Yufen's meals were different from usual; they were low in oil and salt, and her diet had to be light, so they had to be prepared separately. Mingkun took a bottle of wine and walked up to his father.

The father and son ate lunch and drank some wine. After resolving Chen Manyun's matter, Mingkun felt much more relaxed. Now he was just waiting for Yunshu to settle things so that they could truly be together.

On the other side, Chen Manchun put down her work at home, told her family, and sent Manyun back to her parents' home. At that time, the two families were engaged according to the current customs, and the engagement was a verbal agreement. Both sets of parents had met, and the Xiao family had also exchanged gifts. Now, they didn't want Manyun anymore, and they didn't even want the things that were given to her family.

Looking at her younger sister, who was on the verge of collapse, Manchun felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration. Everything had gone according to her plan perfectly. She had secretly switched Yunshu's divination slips, giving her the worst possible result, then sowed discord at Liu Yufen's house, and finally introduced her sister to Akun. Everything had been going well until Xiaoyun, in her haste, went to Akun without consulting her, angering him. Only then did Akun have someone investigate her past. Knowing everything, how could he possibly marry Manyun? Her sister had gone too far.

It's also my own sister's fault for being so disappointing. She's a pretty girl, but like her mother, all she wants is to marry into a wealthy family. The man she dated, who could be her father, refused to divorce his wife and even had someone beat my sister so badly she lost her baby.

When she returned home, her family was worried that the blow would be too much for her and worsen her mental health, so they were eager to marry her off. Just then, Liu Yufen was looking for a wife for Mingkun.

This engagement has been canceled again, and she's so heartbroken. I don't know if she can hold on. I just hope she doesn't have any more mental health issues.

He rode his motorcycle to take her home, and her mother, Chen Li, was quite surprised to see the two of them returning home.

"Why did you two come back together? What's wrong with Xiaoyun? Why are her eyes so red? Didn't you go to the city? Why did you suddenly come back?" Chen Li glanced at Manchun and then looked at her youngest daughter.

"Mom, Xiaoyun let Akun find out about her past as a mistress! The Xiao family said the engagement is canceled and they don't want to send us any engagement gifts."

Upon hearing this, Chen Li immediately retorted angrily, "What? The engagement is canceled? And that's how they send you all back? Are you stupid?! Which girl is still so innocent these days? Who hasn't had a boyfriend or two before getting married?!" She spat and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with the Xiao family's cancellation of the engagement.

"Mom, can you please stop yelling like that? People are hearing us. Xiaoyun's relationship with her boyfriend isn't as simple as just dating. She's had two abortions already. I don't know what you were thinking back then, so convinced that the man Xiaoyun used to keep would divorce his wife. Look at Xiaoyun now."

"Why are you blaming me? It's all because Xiaoyun likes him. That brat is so young, but she's got such big ideas. Now she's fallen on hard times, what will she do in the future! No! We can't just let it go like this, otherwise it's too easy for the Xiao family!" Chen Li immediately thought that everyone in the neighborhood knew that her daughter was going to marry into the Xiao family. If the marriage was canceled like this, how would her family ever face anyone again?
