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

He let out a long sigh, "Yuyao, please don't misunderstand."

Lin Yuyao found it amusing. "We have nothing to do with each other anymore. You don't need to explain to me, and I won't misunderstand."

There was no misunderstanding to begin with, so she couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

Because there are some people you can never reason with.

Lin Yuyao walked ahead, quickening her pace.

Lu Jiangting continued to chatter as he followed behind.

"They explained to me about eating meat. It wasn't Fang Qing who wanted to eat it; it was Chenchen who wanted to eat it. The little boy cried and fussed a lot during the train journey, wanting to get off. Fang Qing promised him that she would take him to eat something delicious once we arrived at our destination, and that's when he stopped fussing."

"It has nothing to do with me, I just want my money back."

"Yes, I know. That money...that money..." He stammered as he explained, "I admit I lied to you. I did give Fang Qing my salary last month. She and her son wanted to come over, but they didn't have any travel expenses, so I gave it to them for their journey."

But you didn't need to send your parents to my house to cause trouble, did you? After they did, my sister heard the news and went back to cause trouble too. My parents are getting old; how can they stand being bothered every day?

what?

Lin Yuyao guessed that after she called home last time, her mother found out that she had been deceived by Lu Jiangting again, so she went to the Lu family to ask for money.

But how can this be called making a fuss?

Lin Yuyao stopped and said, "Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'making a scene'? Do you mean demanding repayment of a debt?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

Lin Yuyao laughed, "It's only right to pay back debts. What's wrong with them coming to your house with the IOU to ask for the money back?"

I'd like to ask, all you're doing is wanting your money back, why is that considered making a fuss? If I remember correctly, the three-month period on the IOU has just expired, hasn't it?

Lu Jiangting was left speechless.

When my parents called, crying and complaining, I was too indignant to react.

Upon closer reflection, it turns out they were simply going to collect a debt.

"Okay, okay, I guess I misspoke. But didn't I tell you? I don't have it for now, I'll definitely pay you back next month. Why did you send your parents to collect the debt?"

"First, I never asked my parents to go to your house to collect the debt. Second, I never agreed to your request to refuse to repay the money. Third, they are so far away that they don't know anything about your situation."

If you don't want my parents to collect the debt, then you should talk to them beforehand and get their permission.

Otherwise, it would be perfectly normal for them to come looking for repayment when the agreed repayment deadline arrives. You went back on your word, and instead of reflecting on your own actions, you have the nerve to blame others.

Lin Yuyao said sarcastically, "After knowing you for so many years, I've seen it all. I never knew you could be so shameless."

You've seized someone else's dowry, deceived, broken contracts, gone back on your word... you've done every imaginable despicable thing. I'm ashamed to even know someone like you.

Every word Lin Yuyao said pierced his heart.

So, in her heart, this is what kind of person she is?

What's even more frightening is that, upon closer reflection, it seems he actually did these things?

Although he had no choice, he didn't want to...

Watching Lin Yuyao leave, he didn't even dare to chase after her.

Lu Jiangting, pale-faced and staggering, returned to the house he had rented for Fang Qing.

Fang Qing was picking green beans when she saw him return. She quickly put down what she was doing and went up to ask, "Have you seen Yuyao?"

Lu Jiangting nodded.

Fang Qing sighed, "I already told you it has nothing to do with Yu Yao, and that you shouldn't go looking for her. If you go looking for her like this, what will she think? She'll definitely think I'm complaining to you, and that will just cause you two to argue again. You even had to postpone your wedding because of me, and I really feel bad about that."

Lu Jiangting shook his head and said, "It's none of your business. There was some misunderstanding between us. She's making things difficult for you because of me. As for the money..."

He looked at Fang Qing.

Fang Qing quickly emptied her pockets and said, "It's all here, just the last ten or so yuan left."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears and said, "After paying off the remaining balance for the shop renovation, I had no money left. It wasn't even enough to begin with, but people took pity on me as a widow and orphan and almost gave me all the money."

Lu Jiangting originally wanted to ask her how much money she had left, so that she could take it out and pay Lin Yuyao back first.

When he heard that she only had about ten yuan left and that the mother and son still had to make a living, how could he bring himself to ask for help?

"Do you have enough money to spend?" Lu Jiangting asked.

Fang Qing nodded and said, "That should be enough. If we're frugal, we can make it until we receive the pension."

"That's alright. Just take care of yourself and Chenchen. Don't worry about the money you owe Yuyao, I'll pay her back."

Fang Qing wiped away her tears and said, "Jiang Ting, thank you. I wouldn't have come to you if I hadn't really had no other choice. As an orphan and a widow, I'm constantly being targeted and bullied when I try to earn a little money. If Jianjun were still alive, no one would have vandalized my barbershop."

"Yes, if Jianjun were still alive, that would be wonderful," Lu Jiangting sighed.

Sometimes he really felt so tired. Everything was fine, Jianjun's family was fine, and he and Yuyao were fine too.

Graduating from university before the age of twenty, how glamorous!

He can also marry the person he likes.

But everything was ruined because Jianjun died.

"Jiang Ting, I'm so sorry to have troubled you again."

Lu Jiangting snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and said, "It's no trouble at all; it's just what I should do."

Fang Qing: "I will definitely find a job as soon as possible."

"What will Chenchen do now that you're looking for a job?"

“Send him to school.”

"The semester is almost over, how should I send it?"

"This……"

"Here's what we'll do: don't look for him yet. Just get through these next few months and wait until he goes back to school next semester before you start looking for him."

"There are still three months left, how are we going to survive?"

"I'll figure something out; you don't need to worry about it."

“But…” She thought of some rumors she had heard. Although after some probing, she felt that it wasn’t true. He seemed to still want to win back Lin Yuyao, and it didn’t seem like he had found someone from the city.

But she still wanted to confirm it.

"Jiang Ting, I heard from your mother that you've started dating a girl from the city. Will your girlfriend be angry if you help me?"

Ok?

"Who said that?"

“Your mother said so.”

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"No, that's not true. I just made it up to comfort her."

"Huh?" Fang Qing looked surprised, then whispered, "That's a misunderstanding. Now Auntie is telling everyone that you found a girlfriend from the city, and that she's going to bring Auntie and Uncle to the city to enjoy a better life after you get married."

what?

Lu Jiangting's face froze, and his lips twitched as he asked, "That's what she said?"

"Yes, now everyone around you knows you've found a city girlfriend and don't want Yuyao anymore."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"I told you there was some misunderstanding, but they didn't believe me. You and Yuyao have such a good relationship, it's just a misunderstanding, how could you possibly go to someone else?"
