Luo Jingyan didn't maintain any unnecessary formality like her. Her expression was cold as she asked, "May I ask what business you have with me?"

Chen Xiaoyue secretly looked down on Luo Jingyan, thinking she had no manners and wasn't enthusiastic at all when meeting guests.

The only thing Xue Yanchen would be interested in about her is probably her face.

She still had a polite smile on her face.

"Hello, Luo Zhiqing, my name is Chen Xiaoyue. I grew up with Brother Yanchen since we were childhood sweethearts."

Luo Jingyan felt disgusted and interrupted her, saying, "Just say what you want to say."

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point." Chen Xiaoyue glanced inside the room. "But you have to let me in to talk, right?"

"Come in," Luo Jingyan said, her voice tinged with impatience.

Chen Xiaoyue looked around the small room. Although it was small, it was very clean and decorated in a cozy way, giving her the illusion that it was even more luxurious than her own bedroom.

"What is it? Tell me quickly," Luo Jingyan said.

Chen Xiaoyue didn't mince words. "I came all the way from Beijing. As I just told you, I grew up with Brother Yanchen. I came here to express my feelings to him. I like him and I want to be with him. But when I got here, I found out that you're dating him."

"Is there a problem with me dating him?"

"You two are not a good match."

"So, the purpose of your visit here is to persuade me to leave him and make room for you, right?"

Chen Xiaoyue nodded: "Our families are well-matched. If he is willing to date me, I will use my family's connections to help him return to the city, so he won't have to continue suffering in this poor and remote place."

Luo Jingyan smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to come to me. You can just go to him directly. If he is willing to accept you and date you, I will definitely not stop him and will immediately make room for you."

Chen Xiaoyue clenched her fist secretly. If the other side was willing, why would she need to come to Luo Jingyan?

"As you've probably guessed, he rejected me, which is why you said that."

"Since he doesn't like you, do you think this is meaningful? Whether I give up my seat or not, you two will never be together."

"At least if you stop dating him, I'll have a chance with him."

Luo Jingyan burst out laughing at her words.

"Then let me tell you clearly, I will not break up with him. You won't even have a chance. Can you give up now?"

"You!" Chen Xiaoyue gritted her teeth in anger. At this moment, she no longer cared about her dignified and elegant image. She glared at Luo Jingyan, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "Luo Jingyan, if you are doing this for his own good, then consider my suggestion."

"Give me a break. Is it really good for him to be with someone he doesn't like? Besides, I disagree with your suggestion not only for his sake, but also for my own. Why should I give up the man I like? You want me to step aside? Dream on!"

"Luo Jingyan, I'm trying to persuade you, but if you don't listen, you'll be holding Yan Chen back."

"Pah! Shut your mouth. 'Brother Yanchen,' is that something you can call me? If you dare say it again, I'll smash your mouth in."

"Me." Chen Xiaoyue was suddenly intimidated by Luo Jingyan's imposing aura, but she couldn't back down. She was there to compete with Luo Jingyan for Xue Yanchen, and she absolutely couldn't show weakness in front of her: "I'm still going to call him, Brother Yanchen..."

Snap!

Chen Xiaoyue didn't expect Luo Jingyan to actually hit her, and the slap was quite hard. She raised her hand to hit Luo Jingyan, but Luo Jingyan grabbed her wrist. The sharp pain in her wrist forced her to pull her hand back.

She gritted her teeth at Luo Jingyan: "You're so savage, Brother Yanchen..."

Snap!

Another slap.

"Don't shout things you shouldn't."

“I really don’t know how he could have fallen for someone like you. You have no manners at all and you hit people at the drop of a hat. If you marry him, you’ll only bring him trouble sooner or later.”

"Then you don't need to worry about it. There's nothing I can do. He just likes me, no matter what I'm like."

Chen Xiaoyue was so angry she almost vomited blood when suddenly a tall man entered.

As soon as Xue Yanchen entered, he saw Chen Xiaoyue there. He instinctively pulled Luo Jingyan into his arms and coldly questioned Chen Xiaoyue, "What are you doing here?"

Then, he looked at Luo Jingyan and carefully checked her for any injuries: "Are you alright? Did she do anything to you?"

Luo Jingyan shook her head: "I'm fine, but she got slapped twice by me."

Xue Yanchen quickly grabbed her small hand, examined it, and carefully blew on it: "Does it still hurt?"

"kind of."

Xue Yanchen immediately rubbed her hands again, and glared at Chen Xiaoyue, his voice cold and sharp: "Please leave here right now, don't let her see you and get upset."

Chen Xiaoyue felt extremely wronged. She pointed at Luo Jingyan and accused her, "She just hit me."

"That was your own choice. If you hadn't provoked her, do you think she would have bothered to lay a hand on you?"

Luo Jingyan immediately stood on tiptoe and kissed Xue Yanchen on the cheek, infuriating Chen Xiaoyue.

Chen Xiaoyue felt utterly ashamed. Before she could take a step, two more people entered from outside: Xue's mother and Old Mrs. Qin.

Both of them were carrying things. As soon as they entered the educated youth compound, they saw Chen Xiaoyue and quickly came in.

Xue's mother also gave Chen Xiaoyue, the woman who tried to interfere in her son and daughter-in-law's relationship, a cold look and said something harsh.

"You actually came here."

But right now, the most important thing is to look at the daughter-in-law, so the other party is temporarily ignored.

She looked inside and saw her son there, and in his arms nestled an incredibly beautiful girl who looked just like the girl in the photo her son had sent them.

When Luo Jingyan saw Grandma Qin arrive with a woman in her forties, and noticed that the woman looked somewhat similar to Xue Yanchen, she wondered if she was her future mother-in-law.

This was so sudden!

She quickly released Xue Yanchen and respectfully greeted Grandma Qin, "Grandma, you've come."

For a moment, I didn't know how to address Aunt Xue.

Xue Yanchen, however, said to the woman, "Mom, why did you come all of a sudden?"

Then, he introduced Xue's mother to Luo Jingyan: "Jingyan, this is my mom. I didn't expect my mom to come here suddenly."

Luo Jingyan greeted Aunt Xue politely: "Auntie, hello."

Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "You must be Jingyan. You're even prettier in person than in the photos."

"Auntie, you flatter me." She quickly greeted Aunt Xue and Grandma Qin: "Auntie, Grandma, please have a seat."

At this moment, the four people on one side of the room were extremely affectionate, while Chen Xiaoyue stood alone, feeling cold and lonely, unsure whether to leave or stay.
