The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

The engagement had been less than a month old. The Xiao family had been quite generous, giving valuable gifts, especially the three gold pieces given to Xiaoyun initially, with another three gold pieces to be given later at the wedding, which seemed very substantial. Manchun thought to herself, "I never received such treatment at my own wedding. Now his family doesn't want it anymore; it's kind of compensation for Xiaoyun." She felt it was best not to make a scene. If things escalated, who would dare marry Xiaoyun in the future? Besides, it would be difficult for her to maintain a good relationship with the Xiao family. Her father-in-law was a very fair and just man; if this matter caused problems, he would definitely side with Ah Kun's family and wouldn't speak up for his daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Man Yun ignored her sister and mother arguing. Feeling utterly hopeless, she slowly and weakly walked to her room, slammed the door shut, and locked it, ignoring everyone.

She felt so tired. Why couldn't she get the men she liked? One abandoned her, then two abandoned her too. Was she really that bad? She was physically and mentally exhausted, and her head ached. What was the point of living? She might as well just leave. And... even if she couldn't have him, she wanted to let that man know that she had backbone and wouldn't let him cancel their engagement so easily.

Thinking of this, she rummaged through her old medicine bag and found a bottle of sleeping pills she had bought when she couldn't sleep. She had only taken them a few times, and there was still more than half a bottle left, so she decided to take them all.

Then she slowly lay down on the bed, thinking about her dilapidated, impoverished home. She only wanted to change her life; was that wrong? Like Xu Ruo, who did nothing all day, just because she was a rich second-generation with a good father, she had everything she wanted. Meanwhile, she herself had never even been able to buy a nice piece of clothing. Seeing her classmates abandoning their inhibitions and returning to school soon looking glamorous, she too felt longing, jealousy, and desire. So, following her senior's advice, she went out and began a life of glitz and glamour. Later, she met a man much older than her, but as he aged, he gradually couldn't satisfy her in bed.

She secretly went to bars again, and the thrill there slowly became addictive. She gradually fell into depravity, transforming from an innocent girl into a dirty, unwanted girl. She didn't understand; all she wanted was a good life…

As she slowly lost consciousness, she thought she was going to die! How wonderful, finally she could be free and leave this filthy society.

"Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun..." Manchun had been arguing with her mother for a short while when she realized that her younger sister was not there. She wanted to go to her room to see her, but found that the door was locked and she could not get in.

Originally, it was thought that she just wanted to be alone for a while, but half an hour later, she went to knock on the door again, but Manyun still did not answer. Now even Manchun started to worry. Manyun used to have a mild mental illness. Could it be that her illness had relapsed and she was doing something foolish again?

She rushed outside and shouted, "Mom, quickly bring me the key to Xiaoyun's room. Xiaoyun isn't responding to any of my calls, I'm afraid something might happen."

After listening, Chen Li grumbled, "What could possibly happen at home? It's just a burden on others... wait... this child might be thinking of doing something drastic again..."

After being rejected by that old man last time, she contemplated suicide at home. She was sure she wouldn't do the same again this time, so she quickly went to find the spare key to open the door.

When they got the key and opened the door, the two saw Chen Manyun lying motionless on the bed.

"Xiaoyun... wake up..." Manchun approached and called softly, but Manyun didn't react at all. "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, if you have any grievances, tell me. Don't keep it to yourself. I know you're sad. In the future, Mom and Dad will find you a better man than Akun. Don't..." She touched Manyun's body, but she still didn't react.

"Mom, something's wrong. Xiaoyun isn't responding to anything, and we can't wake her up. She doesn't seem to be sleeping!" As she spoke, she saw a white medicine bottle on the ground. She picked it up and saw that it said "sleeping pills." Now it was empty, without a single pill. She guessed that something had happened. Her younger sister must have taken all the pills in it. Although she didn't know how many pills were in it, the bottle looked very new, so there must have been a lot of pills before. Her younger sister was unconscious after taking them.

"Mom, something terrible has happened! Xiaoyun must have overdosed on sleeping pills. Get her to the hospital right away!" She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed 120 for an ambulance. "Mom, forget about the housework, saving Xiaoyun is the priority!"

"This wretched child, she's gone mad! She's doing something so foolish..." Chen Li cried and kept rambling on. Man Chun was heartbroken. Of the three siblings in her family, this younger sister was the most troublesome. Now she had done something so foolish. She was so angry, yet she also felt so sorry for her!

Soon after, the ambulance arrived. Fortunately, their village was close to the hospital. Manyun was taken to the hospital and immediately put into the operating room. After the doctor washed her stomach, she was finally saved.

The entire Chen family rushed over upon hearing the news, including several of Chen Manyun's uncles and aunts. The commotion was so great that even the relatives knew Manyun was distraught after her engagement was called off and was contemplating suicide.

After being rescued, Man Yun woke up not long afterward and was in a daze. She didn't say a word and just lay there blankly, like a soulless person.

Seeing her perfectly healthy daughter turn into this again, Chen Li was so angry she couldn't speak. Moreover, the doctor said that her paranoid psychosis could relapse at any time, and they should pay close attention, as she might have another suicidal idea and come to the hospital again. Who in the family could bear this kind of torment?

When Man Yun's father saw his daughter in such a state, he was both heartbroken and furious. He and his brothers immediately went to the Xiao family to demand justice. They couldn't let their daughter be dumped like this for no reason; it was too much!

Upon hearing this, Manchun realized she was in trouble! They didn't know that Manyun was a mistress. If she went to the Xiao family to make a scene, and Ah Kun revealed Xiaoyun's past, Xiaoyun would never be able to get married again, and her reputation would be ruined. She might not even be able to stay at home anymore. Moreover, if she made such a scene, her father-in-law would find out, and he certainly wouldn't let her off easily.

So she hurriedly ran to her father's side and called out to him, "Dad, stop making a scene. We were wrong too."

"What did our family do wrong? My perfectly good daughter was dumped for no reason. The Chen family is not so easily bullied!"

After saying that, he immediately went to the Chen family with Chen Li and a large group of Chen family uncles to demand justice.

Mingkun had eaten and taken a nap. Just as he woke up, he heard Da Cai in the courtyard suddenly shout. Looking out, he saw many strangers standing in the yard. The Xiao family hadn't closed their gates during the day, and Mingkun quickly realized these people were up to no good.
