Behind He Zhiyuan was the disheveled Lin Yanxia, ​​who was standing right next to him and looking at Lin Yanyu warily.

He Zhiyuan's face was as pale as a ghost, and the usual smile on his face was gone.

"Sister Yanyu, I have two words to say to you. Is it convenient for you?"

"She's inconvenienced."

Li Yanqi raised one corner of his lips and looked at him with contempt, his dark eyes filled with vigilance.

"Who do you think you are? Sister Yanyu and I have been childhood sweethearts. I don't need your permission to talk to her."

He Zhiyuan has always been polite and respectful in his dealings with others, but this time he was really furious.

"I'm her future man, who are you? Do you think you're qualified to talk to her?"

Li Yanqi knew how to touch people's sore spots.

"You fart!"

He Zhiyuan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He pounced forward and tried to grab Li Yanqi's collar, but before he could touch him, his wrist was grabbed.

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his face due to the pain. He clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Lin Yanxia rushed forward and tried to pry Li Yanqi's hands apart in an attempt to rescue He Zhiyuan.

"What are you doing?! You bully, let go of Brother He! Let go!"

Lin Yanyu frowned her delicate brows, fearing that Li Yanqi would really bully He Zhiyuan, the weak scholar, and it would be a bad ending for everyone.

"Let him go. If the noise gets out of hand, it will be bad for everyone."

Li Yanqi looked at her with some grievance, and slowly let go of her hand.

Lin Yanyu let out a long sigh and said to He Zhiyuan: "I thought I had made it very clear before."

"Sister Yanyu..."

There were beads of sweat on He Zhiyuan's forehead, and his eyes were wet and red, and he seemed like he was about to cry.

Lin Yanyu was a little shocked. In her previous life, she had experienced dangerous situations, court struggles, and the death of her parents, but she had never seen He Zhiyuan with such an expression, which was a mixture of grievance, sadness, and despair.

"Hey, I don't know what else you want to tell me. Come with me."

Lin Yanyu, feeling tired, took him a little further away.

Lin Yanxia stayed where she was with Li Yanqi. As time went by, the bully Li Yanqi's face became darker and darker, as if he was going to kill someone.

He was extremely frightened and ran after the two men in front of him, shouting, "Brother He, wait for me, wait for me."

"Sister Yanyu, when I came back I heard that you were engaged to that thug Li Yanqi. Is that true?"

He Zhiyuan looked at Lin Yanyu with hopeful eyes, praying to hear a negative answer.

"Yes."

He took a step back as if he had been shot by an arrow.

"Why? Why can't you wait for me? My teacher has recommended me to King Cheng. In a month, I will go to Qingzhou to take up the post of Director of the Cangbu Division. Why can't you wait for me? Why? I want to find a way out so that I can come back and ask you to marry me with more confidence. Can't you wait for me?"

He Zhiyuan's eyes were red, and he slowed down his tone and said softly: "Sister Yanyu, I won't go to Qingzhou anymore. I will come back now. Let's get married, okay?"

"He Zhiyuan, do you know what you are saying? Is the problem between us your confidence? Have you forgotten what your mother said about me and asked me to be your concubine?"

When Lin Yanyu faced He Zhiyuan, she only felt exhausted from the inside out, the kind of exhaustion that made her not even want to speak.

"I know, I know it's my mother's fault, but you married me, I will definitely protect you, believe me, Yanyu!"

"He Zhiyuan, I know your ideals and ambitions. You are not someone who would live in seclusion in a corner. You always want everything to be perfect, but you should know that people should not be too greedy. Your mentor recommended you to Qingzhou to be the head of the government because of your talent, but there should be other additional conditions, right? For example..."

Lin Yanyu looked at him with a smile.

"You will be his son-in-law."

In the previous life, because of her obstacle, he was unable to marry the legitimate daughter to He Zhiyuan as his principal wife, and in the end he sent the illegitimate daughter in to be a concubine.

In the eyes of the world, the most solid relationship is still the friendship between two families. Even if there is no affection, their interests are firmly bound together.

"I didn't agree, really! The teacher tried to match me with Fang Baiju, but I had already told my teacher that I already had a crush on someone..."

"If you borrow someone's strength, you have to pay it back." Lin Yanyu shook her head and smiled faintly: "He Zhiyuan, our fate in this life has ended. You have your own way to go, and I have a fiancé and will get married soon. Please don't come to me again in the future."

He Zhiyuan's eyes were red, his lips were trembling, and he asked, "Are you really going to be so cruel? I don't know why you have to do this after so many years of relationship. Sister Yanyu, you have changed."

Lin Yanyu chuckled softly and murmured to herself: "Have I changed? Maybe."

He Zhiyuan's tears fell from his red eyes, and for the first time he said to her fiercely, "Sister Yanyu, I will make you regret it."

Lin Yanxia raised her sleeves to wipe He Zhiyuan's tears, but he turned his head away.

She couldn't help but get furious and yelled at Lin Yanyu: "What are you doing? It's not enough that you hurt me, you still want to hurt Brother He. You are a vicious woman. You pretend to be virtuous and deceive everyone. You deceived my parents and only sent me away. But it's okay, I don't want them now! I only want Brother He!"

Lin Yanyu just thought it was ridiculous: "Lin Yanxia, ​​you are such a ruthless person, you are an ungrateful person, you should save these words for your parents to say in person."

Lin Yanxia looked back in the direction of her gaze.

I saw Lin's mother pushing Lin Xiucai, who was about to fall, and Li Yanqi was holding her arm next to her.

Mother Lin's face was pale, her eyes were red, her lips were trembling and she couldn't speak.

Compared to the grief of Lin's mother, Lin Xiucai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, seemed much calmer. He only asked her, "Lin Yanxia, ​​if you come home now, we can pretend that nothing happened. We will buy you a generous dowry and send you off with great fanfare. If you insist on going with him, I, Lin Zhi, will just treat you as a daughter who never existed. From now on, your happiness and misfortune will have nothing to do with our Lin family."

Although Mr. Lin loved his daughter, he never spoiled her and was ruthless when it came to punishing her. Years of fear of her father made Lin Yanxia habitually shrink her head.

Then he thought of his parents' partiality towards his sister and felt resentful: "Anyway, you only know how to favor my sister. It's you who don't want me! If you don't agree to let me marry Brother He, then don't acknowledge me!"

After saying that, he pulled He Zhiyuan, who was still staring at Lin Yanyu in a daze, and said angrily: "Brother He, let's go!"

Wait for the two figures to turn the corner.

"mother!"
