Peace City.

Huo Mingchen has a very good reputation lately, so good that all eligible women want to throw themselves at him.

Of course, this does not include Cheng Shanshan. Since she brought Cheng Sijin back that day, she has not seen Huo Mingchen for seven whole days.

During this time, he even had Liu Liu deliver the land deeds and house deeds of the Huo family to her. Ever since she learned of Liu Liu's thoughts that day, she had an instinctive wariness towards her: "Huo Mingchen, is there anything else to say?"

"Brother Huo said that you shouldn't bother him anymore." Liu Liu said this with her face slightly flushed. "He also said that this is to thank you for taking him in and taking care of him in the cave before."

"Why are you the one who came?"

Cheng Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly!

Liu Liu's face turned even redder, and she took a small step back: "Sister, I'm sorry, I know how to explain it to you, but that night you and Brother Huo had a fight and he drank some alcohol, and then we... Brother Huo said he would take responsibility for me."

"..."

At this point, Cheng Shanshan understood.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu Liu quickly took out a bright red invitation card: "Seven days from now, Brother Huo and I will be getting married. Sister, can you come?"

The bright red color was extremely eye-catching. After taking it, Cheng Shanshan sneered, "In that case, I really have to congratulate you."

"Is your sister sincere?" Liu Liu looked at her with her crescent-shaped eyes full of expectation: "I was afraid that my sister would blame me for this and ignore me in the future."

Cheng Shanshan raised an eyebrow: "How could I ignore you? I still have to go to your wedding." As she said this, she glanced at Liu Liu.

Although she didn't speak, Liu Liu felt a strange chill.

Sensing danger, she feigned composure and said, "My sister said you must come that day." Without pausing, she ran off.

Cheng Shanshan quietly looked at the invitation in her hand.

There was nothing written on it except for the character "囍".

Bai heard Liu Liu's conversation with her earlier, and her eyes reddened: "Shanshan, what should we do? I always thought you and Xiao Huo would be fine in a few days."

Cheng Shanshan felt the same way.

She didn't even feel that the two of them were arguing; it was just an act.

After all, Huo Mingchen had his own things to do, and she didn't want to affect him because of herself. She didn't expect that this time he would not only be serious, but also make a big fuss about it!

He actually wants to marry Liu Liu?

good!

It's really great!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai asked tentatively, "Shanshan, what are you going to do?"

What else can we do?

Cheng Shanshan waved the house deed and land deed in her hand: "I haven't been able to find a suitable house these past few days, and someone gave me this place, so of course I have to tidy it up according to my own wishes." After saying that, she immediately rolled up her sleeves.

Without saying a word, he swung a large iron sledgehammer and smashed a wooden table placed in the yard!

Amidst the crackling sounds, Bai Shi couldn't help but shiver: "Shanshan, why don't we go find Xiao Huo and talk things out?"

"Yes, yes, explain it clearly!"

These words came from Cheng Sijin, who was tied up in a corner and forced to pull a millstone.

When Cheng Sijin heard that she couldn't be the father-in-law, she was so angry that she wanted to curse: "I thought this Huo guy was a respectable person, but he's actually a beast!"

"Shut up!"

Cheng Shanshan rebuked her coldly.

She showed no mercy to Cheng Sijin: "Keep pulling your millstone."

Cheng Sijin gritted her teeth: "What's the use of you being fierce with me? All the men have run away!"

"So you know it's wrong that the man ran away?"

"...You brat!"

"Stop talking nonsense, or you won't be eating dinner tonight!"

To prevent Cheng Shanshan from getting angry, Bai quickly ran over and covered Cheng Sijin's mouth!

It wasn't until evening that Aunt Dong finally learned everything. She looked at Cheng Shanshan with deep remorse: "Shanshan, Mingchen was drunk, which is why that girl Liu Liu took advantage of him."

"Um."

Cheng Shanshan took a bite of the food.

"Shanshan, Aunt Dong will definitely stand up for you and give that Mingchen a good scolding."

"Um."

Cheng Shanshan picked up another piece of meat.

"I actually wanted to see Mingchen this time, but he's too busy. I'll have him come back tomorrow."

"Um."

Cheng Shanshan had already put down her chopsticks and bowl: "I'm finished eating, you guys enjoy your meal." After saying that, she went back into the yard and began the fifth wave of vandalism.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Dong and Madam Bai were frantic: "What should we do? The girl seems to be in a lot of pain."

"How could I not be heartbroken? I saw Shanshan and Xiao Huo walking towards us all the way here, and now the thought of the two children's lives ending like this makes me want to cry!"

"What can be done? Mingchen never expected this..."

"Sigh, it's all fate."

Cheng Shanshan was a little unhappy about her good hearing. After all, she hadn't had much to do before and hadn't had time to work on the book on trap and mechanism settings. Now that she finally had some free time, she wanted to plan it out properly.

He became increasingly addicted to it and had long forgotten about Huo Mingchen.

She thought, "He's just a man."

It's not like she hasn't been betrayed before!

Just as there were Lin Sheng and Cheng Wan'er, there might be Huo Mingchen in the future.

After all, people eat grains and other foods; they may like someone or suddenly dislike them—it's just a cycle.

If the other person is mutually attracted and hasn't caused her any harm, she won't pester them. After all, there are more important things in her eyes than love.

For example, being alive!

She hadn't had time to worry about anything else these past two days, and even accepted Huo Mingchen's house directly. This was mainly because she sensed something was off these past few days: ants moving house, the sky turning red, the air feeling stuffy...

All of this seems like a sign that a heavy rain is about to fall!

Having experienced the torment of her past life, she was truly afraid of similar storms, because once something started, it could plunge the entire world into darkness.

Because of this worry, she had no time to think about anything else.

They quickly dug and set up traps, reinforced the entire house, and even used previously stockpiled tarpaulins for waterproofing.

Of course, it wasn't just her and Bai Shi now. With so many people around, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she also bought a lot of items and piled them up in one room.

Inside were all sorts of basic daily necessities, as well as cabbages and rapeseed that had been moved out of the space. These things were her greatest source of confidence!

However, to others, her behavior seemed like Cheng Shanshan had gone mad for love!
