The holy, beautiful and brilliant light of the Goddess of Joy illuminates the earth~ Liang Li took a day off after returning from the train and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy gifts and came to the Jiang family. When he arrived, Jiang's father and Jiang Shuhua and his wife were both there, but Jiang's mother happened to be taking Jiang Shuyao to the hospital for another check-up and was not at home.

He didn't mind. He came here to explain the cancellation of the engagement. He was not the original Hao Yuanchao and had no feelings for Jiang Shuyao. It didn't matter whether they met or not. It was even better not to meet, so that Jiang Shuyao wouldn't notice anything because of his poor acting skills.

Of course, the two families didn't immediately discuss the cancellation of the engagement upon meeting. Instead, they exchanged pleasantries. Both were shrewd people, and their polite words were warm and affectionate, giving no indication that either side was harboring any intention of breaking off the engagement. After the pleasantries concluded, when Jiang's father used the matter of the child to build momentum, Liang Li "took advantage" of the situation and brought up the marriage, laying the groundwork for a while before revealing his unwillingness to continue the marriage and involve the woman.

The words were said beautifully. It was not because he disliked the other girl that he broke off the engagement, but because he did not want to drag Jiang Shuyao down. He did not embarrass her and was very sincere.

Jiang's father was stunned when he heard this. He thought Hao Yuanchao came to visit him today for a normal visit, but he never thought that he would take the initiative to talk about breaking off the engagement. Although it was unexpected, but observing Hao Yuanchao's expression, he saw that he was not joking and did not show any resentment, so he probably knew in his heart that this was sincere.

Jiang's father was really satisfied with Hao Yuanchao as his son-in-law, but it was Hao Yuanchao's elder brother who left behind four children, and his daughter had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered. It would be too tiring for her to raise four children if she married into the family. In addition, his daughter had been depressed and had recurrent illnesses recently, and his wife kept saying that the child was suffering. He couldn't bear to let her marry him, so Hao Yuanchao was willing to take the initiative to cancel the engagement at this time, without any resentment, and in a friendly manner. Jiang's father pretended to refuse and then agreed.

If both parties wanted to break off the engagement peacefully and avoid any trouble, then the matter was settled. As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, there was no discussion of them. Hao Yuanchao had already given 180 yuan as a gift, and the other major items hadn't been purchased yet, so there wasn't much of a financial dispute. Jiang's father naturally wanted to return the betrothal gifts, but Liang Li refused. After all, it was the original body that gave it to Jiang Shuyao, and he wasn't so poor that he needed that little money. But Jiang's father insisted on giving it. Since the marriage was off the table, the betrothal gifts naturally had to be returned. He wasn't some unrefined person who would want to take advantage of other people's betrothal gifts.

One wanted to return the money and the other refused to accept it. Just when they were in a stalemate, footsteps were heard coming from far away and getting closer. Finally, the sound stopped at the open door. When Jiang's mother looked inside and saw the military uniform, she knew it was Hao Yuanchao. She smiled and said, "Comrade Yuanchao is here? I just bought some meat. Stay for dinner." Even if she wanted to cancel the engagement, she had to keep it a face.

Hearing this, Song Shuyao looked up with a gloomy expression, wanting to see what her vague fiancé in her memory looked like. At this time, Liang Li also stood up and turned around. He raised his head and met Song Shuyao's gaze. Their eyes met, and the moment the two people's appearance was imprinted in their eyes, both of them were stunned.

"Yao, Yaoyao?" Liang Li almost murmured, full of surprise, confusion, happiness and a hint of uncertainty.

Then this uncertainty disappeared in the next second, because Song Shuyao walked up to him and slapped him hard in front of everyone.

As the loud slap landed, the three words "son of a bitch" came out of her mouth, and the hateful tone sounded as if she was shouting through gritted teeth.

The Jiang family was shocked by this unexpected turn of events. Their daughter/sister/sister-in-law actually dared to hit an army officer? ! !

Before they could react, Liang Li, who had been slapped, smiled, his eyes glowing, "Yaoyao." This word was confirmation.

Song Shuyao shed tears as she looked at the familiar eyes. It was so abrupt that she didn't even realize it. Her face was still filled with hatred and anger, and even a hint of hidden joy, but the tears kept flowing like a broken faucet.

Liang Li's smile disappeared instantly. He raised his hand to wipe her tears with a serious and nervous look, but his tone was a little rough, "Why are you crying? Where did you feel wronged..."

The unfinished words were dispersed by her wave of the hand. Song Shuyao pushed away his hand, took two steps back, raised her hand and wiped away her tears. The hatred and anger she had in the slap were restrained, and her face was calm. "Comrade Hao, since you have broken off the engagement, please respect yourself. The door is there. Goodbye."

Without waiting for him to leave, she turned around and walked back to her room. 'Bang!' The wooden door slammed loudly.

Liang Li was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to chase after him, but at this moment Jiang's mother also reacted and quickly stepped forward to stop Liang Li, "Comrade Yuan Chao, Yaoyao has been sick these days and in a bad mood, you should not bother her." She was referring to the slap in the face, and without giving Liang Li another chance to explain, she continued, "You just came back and I'm sure you have a lot of things to do, so we won't bother you. Go back first."

As he spoke, he pushed the person out of the door and immediately closed the door.

Liang Li wanted to knock on the door and say a few words, but he saw many neighbors sticking their heads out, their eyes clearly filled with curiosity and gossip. Liang Li immediately withdrew his hand from knocking on the door, laughed out loud and said, "Uncle, I'll come back another day."

He turned and walked away under everyone's curious gaze.

Meanwhile, Father Jiang glared at Mother Jiang and said, "How can you kick someone out like this? You're just making a fool of yourself."

Jiang's mother was not afraid of him, but she felt a little guilty. She saw that Hao Yuanchao's smile seemed a little strange after being slapped in the face. She was afraid that he would stay here and get excited and hurt her little girl. However, she was confused for a moment. Jiang's father and Jiang Shuhua were there, and Hao Yuanchao was alone.
