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

Lu Jiangting looked down at the IOU in Lin Yuyao's hand, then at Lin Ping, and said, "Did he come to give you the IOU?"

"This is none of your business, give me the money."

“I…” he stammered.

Lin Yuyao said coldly, "What? You spent it all?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"If you don't come out today, I'm calling your boss. He's the one who lent you the money and wants you to pay it back. Don't you want to pay it back?"

"no……"

“If it’s not true, then take it out. Don’t say that Fang Qing borrowed it. She’s received a pension. As long as she doesn’t spend money recklessly, she won’t starve.”

Lu Jiangting looked at her, hesitated several times, and still didn't know what to say.

But this money... he really didn't not want to pay it back; he just didn't want to lose this last bond with her.

But... when it comes to this entanglement... he can't tell whether it's an entanglement or a sin.

Because he owed her money, he didn't dare to see her every time he wanted to, for fear that she would bring up the money as soon as he arrived.

It hurts feelings and leads to arguments.

Ugh!

Fine, since she values ​​money so much, I'll give it to her.

If I give it to her, I won't owe her anything, and she won't be angry anymore.

From then on, he would be able to see her openly and honestly.

Lu Jiangting took out fifty yuan.

Yes, it was fifty yuan. Old Wang lent him a hundred, but he didn't dare spend a single penny of it.

After Yu Yao took the fifty yuan he had given Fang Qing last time, he could only give her another thirty yuan.

He was short of money again and was afraid that Yuyao would cause him trouble, so he hurriedly returned to his unit.

This handful of money was all in small pieces. I rummaged through drawers and found some, then borrowed some from friends, and that was it.

"Yuyao, money..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuyao grabbed him.

She counted the items in front of him.

This money is really... a few cents, a dollar, two dollars, five dollars, all just small change.

As Lu Jiangting watched Lin Yuyao count the money, he whispered to her, "Yuyao, I'm sorry, I really didn't know you valued money so much."

Lin Yuyao paused in her actions and said sarcastically, "What, you don't value money? Fang Qing doesn't value money?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Hmph, I'm just being direct, telling you straight up that I value money a lot. But you and Fang Qing are hypocrites, pretending it's not important, and even using money to slander others. Are you trying to say that years of friendship are worth less than money, and that I'm obsessed with money?"

Lu Jiangting hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just felt... felt that you valued it more than I did..."

"Yes, it's more important than you. Money won't betray me, but it will."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Ha, don't be ridiculous. If it weren't important, Fang Qing wouldn't have bothered you, and you wouldn't have lied to me."

"I……"

"Shut up." This time it was Lin Ping who spoke. He said angrily, "Lu Jiangting, I never thought you were so disgusting. You're a grown man, what can't you lie about? You actually cheated my sister out of her dowry."

Do you know that the dowry my family gave to my sister was saved up penny by penny by my parents and brother through hard work and frugality? How could you cheat me out of it?

Lu Jiangting blushed deeply.

"Lin Ping, I'm not lying, don't talk nonsense."

"How can it not be a lie? Didn't you say your friend's father was dying and you needed the money to save his life? What? Did you use the money to save his life?"

Save my ass!

He suddenly realized that what he thought was a well-intentioned lie was actually a deception.

Lu Jiangting lowered his head and said, "Yuyao, I'm sorry."

Lin Yuyao had heard this countless times, so she ignored him and continued counting the money.

She counted out fifty yuan instead of forty, which was strange.

Could it be that Lu Jiangting interrupted you just now and caused you to miscount?

She would rather believe she miscounted than believe Lu Jiangting gave her ten extra dollars.

So she started counting a second time.

"Alright, that's enough. You know you've done something monstrous. Pay back the money, and you'll have nothing to do with our family anymore."

He turned to Lin Yuyao and asked, "Sister, have you counted them all?"

I counted it again, and it was still fifty.

Lin Yuyao looked at Lu Jiangting, "How many?"

"Fifty."

Wow, it really is fifty.

Lu Jiangting said, "I'm sorry, this ten yuan is your compensation. I should have given you more compensation, but I really don't have any money right now."

Lin Yuyao did not refuse; it was what she should do.

She borrowed the money for so long and even delayed repayment. Even if she borrowed from a bank, she would have to pay interest. Why shouldn't she get it?

She took it.

Lin Yuyao accepted the money directly and gave him the IOU.

"Take it and see if it's correct. If there are no problems, we're even."

Lu Jiangting took the IOU and looked at it; it was indeed the one he had written back then.

"That's right, Yuyao. Now that the money has been returned, you're not angry with me anymore, are you?"

Ok?

Lin Yuyao said calmly, "Why are you angry? I'm not angry anymore."

This caused Lu Jiangting to misunderstand, and he was overjoyed, taking a few steps closer to him.

Seeing this, Lin Ping quickly stepped between them.

Lin Ping said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Jiangting was taken aback.

Lin Ping said, "You don't think that just because my sister isn't angry anymore, you'll have another chance, do you?"

"Lin Ping, this is between your sister and me."

"Pah! You bastard, you really think that way? Hey, I just don't understand, you already have a wife and kids, why are you still harassing my sister?"

Lu Jiangting's expression changed, and he grabbed Lin Ping by the collar, saying, "Lin Ping, what nonsense are you talking about? Say it again."

Lin Yuyao's expression changed, and she stared at Lu Jiangting, saying, "What do you want to do? Let go."

Seeing Lin Yuyao's angry expression, Lu Jiangting loosened his grip considerably.

Lin Ping smiled calmly and said, "I said you already have a wife and children. So what if I said that? Did I say something wrong?"

"You..." Lu Jiangting said angrily, "Where did you hear that?"

"That's what everyone's saying back home. They say you broke off your engagement with my sister and got together with Fang Qing. Fang Qing closed her hair salon and came with you to join the army, bringing the child with her."

Lu Jiangting was terrified, his face turning pale. "Who's spouting this nonsense?"

"How would I know? I was studying, and as soon as I came home for vacation, I heard people in the village saying that."

Lu Jiangting's face turned pale; he never expected the rumors to spread like this back home.

He hadn't called home for a long time because he owed his sister money and couldn't pay it back. He had promised to pay her back, but Yuyao had taken it from him, so he still hadn't been able to. Therefore, he didn't dare to call home.

So... he had no idea that the rumors had spread like this within his family.

He released his grip, took two steps back, and looked at Lin Yuyao, saying, "Yuyao, don't listen to the rumors from our hometown. Fang Qing and I are nothing, you know that."

"Ok, I know."

After saying that, she ignored him and left with Lin Ping.

Lu Jiangting was stunned for a moment before hurriedly chasing after her, "Yuyao, let's not be angry anymore, let's start over, let's..."
