Xu Honglin watched Xu Yatong's retreating figure and sighed.

After saying all that, shouldn't his stubborn daughter have come to her senses by now?

Xu Yatong was mostly angry.

She wasn't grateful for what Shen Jingyan said at all. Even if everything he said was true, she felt that Shen Jingyan wasn't doing it for her own good.

Why would Shen Jingyan care about her? Shen Jingyan just wants to see her make a fool of herself!

Right now, people downstairs are probably laughing at and mocking her!

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Instead of getting away from Zhou Zhengqing, she wanted to confront him and demand an explanation!

The next day, she arranged to meet Zhou Zhengqing in the park.

As soon as Zhou Zhengqing arrived, Xu Yatong immediately questioned him: "Were you engaged before?"

Zhou Zhengqing was astonished: "You...who told you that?"

Seeing his guilty look, Xu Yatong became even angrier.

"You must have a lot of old acquaintances at the forest farm, right? What a coincidence, I know all of them!"

Zhou Zhengqing narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

He held Xu Yatong's accusations in utter contempt.

In his mind, Xu Yatong was a woman who was eager to be with him. They had only been in a relationship for three weeks, so what right did she have to ask so many questions?

However, Qin Yuehe repeatedly urged him to get along well with Xu Yatong, as the marriage would greatly benefit the Zhou family in the future.

Zhou Zhengqing rolled his eyes inwardly, but spoke kindly and gently.

"Tongtong, you're too naive. You believe everything people say?"

He thought that since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well admit it openly and try to gain the initiative in explaining himself.

"I was engaged, but it was out of necessity!"

Xu Yatong was half-believing and half-doubting, and waited with her arms crossed for Zhou Zhengqing to explain.

She couldn't see through Zhou Zhengqing's feigned sincerity at all, and she already believed him to some extent.

It seems absurd that a wealthy city boy would get engaged to a country girl.

Seeing that Xu Yatong's anger had subsided, Zhou Zhengqing put his arm around her shoulder, appearing gentle and considerate.

“You know, girls in the countryside are all money-grubbing. Shen Yuqin saw that I was from the city and the most outstanding among the educated youth, so she tried every means to pester me. I refused repeatedly, but she just shamelessly kept coming after me. People in the countryside love to gossip, and when they saw this, they said I was a womanizer. Later, Shen Yuqin even made a big fuss about it, and her parents forced me to get engaged to her. Isn't that bullying? My parents weren't around, and I was all alone, so I had no choice but to agree. Actually, nothing happened between us. She would often ask me for money to buy things, and I gave her everything. Later, after I went back to the city, I broke off contact with her. That's all!”

When Zhou Zhengqing described him, he completely transformed into a victim, appearing as innocent as a virtuous gentleman.

Xu Yatong chose to believe without hesitation.

Although she still had some doubts, she felt that choosing to believe was the only way to prove that her judgment was correct.

"Then... there are rumors that you were arrested by the police..."

When she asked the question again, Xu Yatong no longer had that aggressive demeanor.

"Who said that? Let him come out and confront me!"

Zhou Zhengqing immediately got angry and shouted, "When have I ever been to a police station? Tongtong, are you questioning my character? If you doubt it, we'll go to the police station right now and check my criminal record!"

He grabbed Xu Yatong's hand, making a move to take her to the police station.

He was certain that Hsu Ya-Tung wouldn't actually go to the police station.

Sure enough, Xu Yatong pressed down on his shoulder and gave an awkward laugh.

"How could I doubt you! I won't listen to other people's nonsense anymore!"

Zhou Zhengqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from his heart.

"Tongtong, you're great in every way, except you're too easily influenced. Those who speak ill of me have ulterior motives; they don't want you to be with me!"

These words really struck a chord with Hsu Ya-Tung.

This further strengthened her resolve to marry Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing was secretly pleased to see that he had dispelled Xu Yatong's doubts with just a few words.

He took a delicate little box out of his pocket and opened it in front of Xu Yatong.

"Tongtong, I bought this on my way here. I fell in love with it at first sight. This necklace suits your temperament perfectly."

The small box contained a valuable gold necklace.

No woman dislikes things that are shiny and golden, and Hsu Ya-Tung is no exception.

Although the Xu family is not short of money, the whole family lives a very low-key and simple life. Although she has thirty yuan of pocket money a month, she cannot afford such an expensive gold necklace.

Zhou Zhengqing was rich and always very generous when it came to women.

In his eyes, women are all materialistic. Spending a little money and giving some gifts can make them obedient. Why not do it?

"Let me put it on for you!"

Zhou Zhengqing took out a gold necklace and put it around Xu Yatong's neck.

She didn't forget to compliment him, saying, "You look so good, Tongtong. You're beautiful and have such a great presence. Don't dress so plainly in the future. Just tell me what you want!"

These sweet words completely charmed Xu Yatong, making her believe that she had found true love.
