Seeing that he was about to come forward, He Yitang took a half step back and said, "Please go back. Since you broke your promise, the engagement is no longer valid. From now on, we are just neighbors. Please be careful about your words and actions, and don't come in and out of my house casually in the future."

He Yitang spoke very calmly, which made Gu Chaosheng feel that she was just being petty and trying to say something soft to beg for mercy;

At this time, He's mother called through the door: "Yitang";

Knowing that his mother was trying to help him out, He Yitang quickly responded, "Hey, here I come."

Gu Chaosheng waited for a while, but still did not see He Yitang come out, so he could only leave in disappointment;

He Yitang listened to the footsteps fading away, and waited for a while before leaving the room, locking the door, and returning to his mother's room. There was only one light on in the room, and his mother said softly, "I heard your conversation just now. What are you thinking now?"

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't speak, He's mother pulled her to sit beside her and said, "Mother has no other intentions. If you just want to be a little bit angry, I won't say anything else. If you are determined to break up this marriage, mother also supports it."

When only the mother and daughter were together, He Yitang dared to stop showing off and said with red eyes: "I will say this only once, please don't be offended, when my father passed away, I was tortured every day, worried about you and the family savings, and I couldn't think of this person at all";

"When I was young, I thought it was destiny that I could write a few poems under the moon and flowers";

"How can I not understand that the two families were on good terms in the past because the Gu family saw that my father was on good terms with Mr. Kong of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and thought that this would be helpful to Gu Chaosheng, so they treated me with a little more kindness";

"After Mr. Kong left, the exchanges between the two sides faded. My father took the initiative to come to their house to propose marriage, but they were still very shy. They were really one way when they wanted someone and another way when they didn't. I tolerated all this, but what did Gu Chaosheng do?"

"He remembered the wedding date and accepted my letter, but he just didn't come back. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't come back. Even without him, my daughter can support the family. Mother, just rest and recuperate. Even if it's just the two of us, we can live a good life. Don't be sad. My father will be happy to see me like this now";

Mother He hugged her daughter and cried bitterly. She should have been the one taking care of her daughter, but she let her daughter run the household instead. She had to comfort her daughter after she suffered so much injustice. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.

He Yitong was afraid that if she continued crying like this, it would hurt her health, so he filled a basin with water to wash her face, and then talked to her for a long time before finally coaxing her to sleep.

It wasn't a bad thing that Gu Chaosheng came back, and he felt relieved after he had made things clear.

Just when He Yitang thought that the relationship between the two had been clarified, Gu Chaosheng actually asked his family to arrange a marriage. When Mrs. Gu came to visit, her expression was just short of writing the word "unlucky" on her face;

In fact, He Yitong knew a little bit that Madam Gu was somewhat related to the current military commander of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and they had recently established a connection, and she had set her sights on the other party's second daughter;

This was what Mu Haitang told her. She said that the affairs of Jiangzhou Prefecture were discussed every day in the opera troupe. Because she knew the relationship between the two families, she listened very carefully. She told her so that she would be informed and not be fooled by the Gu family. She was engaged and had to be the legal wife.

He Yitang just smiled after hearing this. What legal wife or not? Her engagement with Gu Chaosheng had long ceased to count in her mind.

Gu's mother probably thought that He Yitang was just trying to take advantage of her, but she also felt that since she had come in person, He Yitang should be respectful to her even if he was not overjoyed.

But she stood at the door with a cold face. She was unhappy because she had broken off the idea of ​​being with the Hu family. She just listed her dissatisfaction in detail, which attracted many people to come out and watch the fun.

He's mother in the room could no longer sit still. She stroked her hair, walked to the door and said, "Madam Gu, you don't have to be so insinuating. No one instigated your son to be alienated from you, and we Yitang can't bear this stigma either."

"I'm going to make this clear today. The engagement between our two families is off. Let's part ways in peace. You should go home earlier and stop making fun of yourself here."

"Rachel Bai, you...";

Madam Gu was so angry that she even called out her mother's maiden name. He Yitang stepped forward and said, "Madam Gu, what my mother said is what I mean. Even if the engagement is cancelled, the two families are still neighbors. We see each other every day. We have taken care of each other in the past. It is better to save face for each other."

"Oh, there is no need to say these polite words. Since you are not interested in this marriage, our Gu family will not rush to ask for it. Just forget it. Anyway, it is not that our Gu family does not keep its promise. In the future, there is no need for the two families to have any contact, so as to avoid making things difficult to explain."

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she walked away, looking relaxed from behind.

After He Yitang closed the door, he quickly helped Bai Rachel into the house. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a long time before she recovered.

He Yitang felt so distressed that when she sat down, he asked, "Did you miss your medicine again?"

"Yitang," He's mother patted her hands and said, "This is fate, no medicine can force it, don't worry, mother always wants to be with you, and will hold on no matter what";

In the evening, when Gu Chaosheng came back from the newspaper office, he was about to ask his mother how the wedding preparations were going, but he saw Mrs. Gu sitting in the hall waiting for him with a gloomy face.

"Mother, why are you angry?" Gu Chaosheng had just finished speaking;

Mrs. Gu first scolded Gu Chaosheng, then told him the details of what happened today, and finally, she did not forget to scold the mother and daughter of the He family;

Gu Chaosheng knew his mother's character. She was just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. He originally thought that everything would be fine if the two of them got married, but he didn't expect Yitang to be so angry this time.

After putting down the briefcase, he said: "Don't be angry yet, I will go and talk to Yitang in person later";

"You still want to go find her?" Mrs. Gu's anger, which had just subsided, was reignited. She said angrily, "You are not allowed to go. I'm making this clear today. You can have anyone as your wife, except He Yitang."

Gu Chaosheng sighed and said, "Okay, I understand. You should go and have a rest first. I just came back and haven't eaten yet. We can talk about this tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, I won't change my mind tomorrow," Mrs. Gu said before leaving, even though she wanted him to rest.

Before she even got married, the two of them were already at loggerheads. What was going to happen in the future? Gu Chaosheng thought of something and suddenly smiled.

After washing up, he went to He Yitong's house and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time;

Gu Chaosheng thought something had happened and was about to climb over the wall when he heard He Yitang's voice. The door was opened, but He Yitang blocked the way.

A threshold separates two people;
