After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Lu Jiangting took out a wad of cash, counted it, and handed it to her, saying, "I'll return a hundred to you first, is that alright?"

No matter how much it is, she has to accept it even if it's just one dollar.

Lin Yuyao didn't hesitate and went to answer it directly.

result……

Lin Yuyao's face darkened. "Aren't you going to pay me back?"

"I'll pay you back."

"Then let go."

Lu Jiangting didn't want to let go, not because he was reluctant to part with the money, but because he felt that once he paid back all three hundred yuan, he and Yuyao would have no reason to even speak to each other.

Letting go, it wasn't about letting go of the money, but about letting go of Yuyao's hand.

Lin Yuyao was so annoyed with him that she forcefully pulled the money away.

"Yuyao, could you tell your parents about this?"

Ok?

Lin Yuyao reminded him, "You still owe two hundred."

"Yes, I remember. The IOU is with Aunt Lian, so I think... I should tell her about this."

"Don't worry, I know. Once you've paid it all back, I'll have my mother return the IOU to your family."

"Okay, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuyao turned and left.

Lu Jiangting: "..."

Lin Yuyao started working at the bookstore, and Lu Jiangting followed her.

Just as she was about to send him away, she saw him call Liu Yihuan, who was standing next to him, to consult some books.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuyao abruptly stopped in her tracks.

People who open their doors to do business are guests.

This isn't her shop; she's just an employee, so she naturally has no right to drive customers away.

It's infuriating and disgusting.

Liu Yihuan helped him find the book he wanted, and he took it and sat down in the reading area to read it, looking like he wasn't going to leave anytime soon.

However, he couldn't concentrate on the book and kept glancing at Lin Yuyao.

However, he was sensible enough to seek help from Liu Yihuan and Zhou Jing when he needed it, and never contacted Lin Yuyao.

He was sitting there, and it was difficult to get rid of him, which caused Lin Yuyao to keep a dark expression on her face.

Zhou Jing was the first to notice something amiss, pulling Lin Yuyao aside to ask, "Do you know that person?"

This……

Lin Yuyao hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Zhou Jing then said, "I see that same worried look on your face from when you first arrived. Could he be the one who caused you trouble?"

Lin Yuyao nodded, then left under the pretext of doing some work.

She didn't want to mention it, and Zhou Jing didn't ask any more questions, but she became more observant and kept a closer eye on Lu Jiangting.

Lu Jiangting didn't leave when it was lunchtime, nor did he eat.

Lin Yuyao and Zhou Jing took turns going upstairs to eat.

After Lin Yuyao finished eating, she carried a stack of books downstairs, only to see Fu Huaiyi arrive and stare at Lu Jiangting.

The two looked tense and ready to fight.

Lin Yuyao's heart skipped a beat when she thought of their fight.

I thought to myself, "Won't they start fighting again?"

She came here to work and didn't want to cause trouble for the boss.

Holding her book, she stood on the stairs, unsure whether to go up or down.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Jiangting asked coldly.

Fu Huaiyi tossed the few books he had borrowed last time onto the table and said casually, "This is my cousin's bookstore. What do you think I'd be doing here?"

"Hmph, that's just an excuse. You think I don't know what you're up to?"

"Is that so?" Fu Huaiyi sneered, "Do you, an outcast, even have the qualifications?"

“You…” Lu Jiangting slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily.

Fu Huaiyi's face also turned cold, ready to take action at any moment.

People around them looked at them curiously.

Actually, many people had been watching them out of curiosity, but their conversations were like riddles. Everyone wanted to hear some gossip, but they were completely confused and didn't understand.

Seeing the two fighting like two cocks terrified Lin Yuyao.

She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly went downstairs with the books in her arms.

"Brother Fu, here are the books you wanted. Are these the ones you requested?"

Lin Yuyao's voice brought Fu Huaiyi back to his senses a little.

He understood that Lin Yuyao was trying to smooth things over and didn't want to put her in a difficult position.

She stared at Lu Jiangting, took two steps back, and then turned around to take the large stack of books from Lin Yuyao's hands.

"Let me see."

"Row."

Lin Yuyao gave him a grateful look and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He thought to himself that it was good that Fu Huaiyi was mindful of the bigger picture.

That makes sense; after all, this is his cousin's bookstore. If a fight were to break out, it shouldn't be here.

Turning her face to look at Lu Jiangting, her expression darkened again.

"What you want is behind you, come with me."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Fu Huaiyi looked over in surprise, feeling a pang of jealousy.

Lu Jiangting gave Fu Huaiyi a provocative smirk, then left with Lin Yuyao.

Lin Yuyao stopped when she reached the back door of the bookstore.

She looked at Lu Jiangting with disgust and said, "What exactly do you want? The engagement is off, and I haven't even asked you for the money. Why are you still bothering me?"

"When did I bother you? I just came to read a book."

Lin Yuyao: "..." Damn it, she really wanted to curse.

“Yuyao, I know you are angry with me right now, even... even hate me, but I definitely have no ill intentions towards you.”

"You mean me no harm?" Lin Yuyao was so angry she laughed.

She suddenly remembered those words: 'He'll beg you, he'll even kneel down, he'll even slap himself, but don't be soft-hearted. He'll swear again and again—men love to swear, but their oaths are no different from a dog's bark. Don't believe them.'

Yes, she wouldn't believe it.

Lin Yuyao said coldly, "You're being so subservient to me now just to beg for my forgiveness. Once you succeed, you'll continue to oppress me."

How could she say such a thing?

Lu Jiangting found it unbelievable and was heartbroken.

"I'm truly sincere towards you. How can you think of me like this after all these years of relationship? I've already humbled myself before you. For you, I've even abandoned my dignity as a man. Can't you see that?"

"Isn't that right? Since you value a man's dignity so much, why are you so subservient? Because it's such a good deal. All you have to do is beg for mercy and you get someone to oppress, your own personal slave. If I were in your shoes, I would do it too."

Lu Jiangting: "..." He didn't know why she had become like this. These were words that the Lin Yuyao he knew would never say.

This sounds more like something a heartbroken person who has endured hardship and vicissitudes would say.

Was he truly so unforgivable that he drove her to despair and death?

But he didn't do anything. He just lent Fang Qing some money. Why is she upset about it?

Lu Jiangting really didn't understand.

He felt that Yuyao was not that kind of person, and that someone must have been stirring things up and teaching her to say those things.

Yes, it's Fu Huaiyi.

Yu Yao is so beautiful, Fu Huaiyi must have been interested in her from the very first time he saw her.

In order to get her, he started to plot, constantly doing things and teaching her to say certain things, corrupting her.

Fu Huaiyi is truly a wicked person.

After figuring it out, Lu Jiangting felt better.
