She cannot back down!

"Jinglan, what happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?" After making up her mind, Leng Yinghong immediately squeezed out tears, stepped out from behind Xu Fangfang, and took a few steps closer to Zhou Jinglan.

Her tears weren't all squeezed out; half of them were from fear of Zhou Jinglan, and the other half were from worry that the deception would be exposed.

Fortunately, Xu Fangfang's previous disturbance had attracted a large crowd of onlookers, so she should make good use of the current situation to put pressure on Zhou Jinglan and make him let go of the scam.

"I was so worried about you. Are you feeling any better now?" Leng Yinghong asked Zhou Jinglan with concern, as if the previous letter announcing the engagement had never existed.

Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang decided to wait and see how things developed.

"Heh..." Zhou Jinglan sneered, unmoved by Leng Yinghong's tears and concern, instead finding it absurd.

Even now, it's still going on.

Do you really think he's a fool?

“Leng Yinghong, if I remember correctly, you have already received my letter of annulment. Now you’re still pretending to care about me. Who are you trying to fool?” Zhou Jinglan exposed her directly, not intending to give this family of liars any face.

"Waaah..." Hearing this, Leng Yinghong cried even harder. She tugged at Xu Fangfang's sleeve, covered her face, and winked at her and Leng Qisheng, signaling that it was their turn to go on stage.

Xu Fangfang and Leng Qisheng understood perfectly and cooperated fully.

After all, it's for the future of the Leng family, and the whole family has to work hard for it.

"Zhou Jinglan, how could you do this? My daughter rushed to see you as soon as she heard you were injured, wanting to take care of you. Now she's crying so hard for you, and you keep talking about breaking off the engagement. Do you have any conscience? Do you even know what it means to be responsible?!" Xu Fangfang hugged her daughter and berated Zhou Jinglan.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers exclaimed, "What? The engagement is called off?"

What's going on? The man is so badly injured and disfigured, yet the woman is still willing to marry him. Shouldn't he be grateful? Why is he taking the initiative to break off the engagement?

"How could such a devoted and loyal girl have met such a heartless and cold-hearted man?"

"That's not necessarily true. What if he feels he's not good enough for the girl right now and decides to let go? Let's wait and see before jumping to conclusions!"

"Yes, yes, let's wait and see. I don't think things are that simple!"

"I have no conscience? I'm irresponsible?" Zhou Jinglan's expression was full of contempt, and the ugly scars made him look somewhat distorted at the moment.

"Your whole family is a bunch of liars. Do you even know what conscience or responsibility is? You still have the nerve to talk to me about it?"

Zhou Jinglan was disdainful, but also a little puzzled, unable to figure out their intentions.

They must have received the letter announcing the annulment. Now they're coming to my door, pretending to be all lovey-dovey. Do they really think he'll accept Leng Yinghong and marry her?

That's absolutely out of the ordinary!

His attitude has been made very clear, and there is absolutely no possibility of any misunderstanding, unless... this family is deliberately pretending not to understand.

That would be interesting.

“Zhou Jinglan!” Leng Qisheng stepped forward at this moment and berated him, “You said you wanted to marry my daughter, and now you want to break off the engagement. Do you think my daughter is someone you can summon and dismiss at will? You’re supposed to be a soldier, is this the kind of education you received?”

"They can call off an engagement they've arranged so easily. Look at this, everyone! This is what our soldiers are like!"

"Let me tell you, breaking off the engagement is impossible! You must marry Xiaohong, or I'll go to the army and find your superior and make him come out and seek justice for my Xiaohong! Now that the whole village knows you're going to marry her, what do you mean by suddenly breaking off the engagement for no reason? Are you trying to force my Xiaohong to her death? How is she supposed to face anyone after this?!"

Leng Qisheng kept stirring up the emotions of the onlookers, making them mistakenly believe that Zhou Jinglan had suddenly changed his mind.

He even threatened that if Zhou Jinglan didn't marry Leng Yinghong, he would cause trouble at the military base, complain to the leaders, and make sure Zhou Jinglan couldn't become a soldier!

With both public pressure and threats to his career, he felt he could intimidate Zhou Jinglan.

"Jinglan, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?" Leng Yinghong cried, her tears falling like rain, which aroused the sympathy of the onlookers. "Tell me what I did wrong, and I will change. I just want to take good care of you now and help you recover as soon as possible!"

This heartfelt speech deeply moved the onlookers, who all sided with the Leng family.

"Look how sensible and considerate that girl is. Young man, your situation isn't good right now, so don't make things difficult for yourself. The most important thing is for the two of you to close the door and live a good life together!"

"Yes, I think the girl's family treats you very well, you should cherish it!"

"You're injured like this, yet they haven't abandoned you. This is a bond that comes from a thousand years of cultivation. If you don't seize it, you'll regret it later!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, make up quickly!"

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Leng Yinghong felt a little more at ease. She thought that with these opinions, Zhou Jinglan would have to think twice.

It seems Zhou Jinglan doesn't want to make a big fuss. If Leng Qisheng really causes trouble in the army, he'll probably lose face.

However, Zhou Jinglan was not buying it at all, and he was not someone to be trifled with.

Do you think you can control him so easily?

dream!

He rose to the position of battalion commander step by step through his own abilities, not through nepotism or backdoor promotion.

How could someone like that be mentally deficient?

I was so blinded by the sight of the Little Goddess that I was fooled for a time.

Now that we know the truth, we are determined to set things right and will never be led by the nose by this family of swindlers.

"I have nothing to say to you all." Zhou Jinglan remained calm and ignored the crowd's attempts to reconcile them.

These people know nothing and are giving him advice on life based on only one side of the story. He must be out of his mind to listen to them.

“Zhou Jinglan, are you going to remain stubborn? Then don’t blame me—” Leng Qisheng continued to threaten.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jinglan didn't even glance at him, regarding the whole family as clowns.

The Leng family was determined to cause trouble and didn't care about making things awkward.

Zhou Jinglan is already disfigured, so he's basically "gone with the tide" now. We absolutely cannot let this family use "face" to blackmail him.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Even though the Leng family knew why he broke off the engagement, they still came here relentlessly. It seems he needs to take some drastic measures; trying to reason with them won't work, no matter how much he talks.

Moreover, Zhou Jinglan had no interest in continuing their endless war of words.

"Nurse Jin, could you do me a favor?" Zhou Jinglan turned to look at Jin Shulan, who had followed him down.
