Liu Xinyan nodded and walked towards the military compound.

Ouyang Jian and his wife Gao Rong were just preparing to eat when there were knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" Gao Rong stood up and opened the door.

Seeing Liu Xinyan at the door, she was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, it's Xinyan? Rufei is busy and not at home."

She spoke in a condescending tone and stood at the door without even moving.

Liu Xinyan was very afraid that Ouyang Jian and Gao Rong would have a bad impression of her and that they would be unhappy.

But now, she is no longer afraid.

"I'm not here to see Ouyang Ruofei, I'm here to see you guys."

Seeing that Gao Rong showed no intention of moving aside, Liu Xinyan spoke.

"What? You won't even let me in the door. When my parents were alive, you weren't like this. You kept saying you wanted to treat me like your own daughter.

Tsk~, it’s true that people are forgotten when they leave…”

Gao Rong's face froze. He glanced outside and saw a few people cowering in the corridor. He quickly opened the door and said, "Come in."

"Xinyan, you came at a perfect time. It's just in time for dinner." She said with a mocking tone.

Liu Xinyan no longer felt as uncomfortable as before when she heard these harsh words. She greeted Ouyang Jian with a calm expression.

"Uncle Ouyang."

Ouyang Jian sat on the sofa and leaned back, "Oh, Xinyan is here? Have you eaten yet?"

After that, he turned to his wife and said, "Gao Rong, get another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Liu Xinyan quickly said, "No need, I'm not here to eat for free."

She quickly took out a faded brocade pouch from her bag. Inside the pouch was a woven peace locket.

Ouyang Jian and Gao Rong looked at each other and their faces became serious.

Liu Xinyan said, "I'm here to cancel the engagement. My aunt tried to return the pearl to me several times before, but I pretended to be stupid and refused.

In fact, I have never understood what you meant. You think I am an orphan and cannot help Ruofei in her career. I have always understood it, but I have been avoiding it. ”

Gao Rong didn't expect Liu Xinyan to say it so clearly. She forced an awkward smile, "Xinyan, it's best if you think it through. It's not about uncle and aunt... It's just that now we are in a new society and we all advocate free love. If you two really love each other, we won't say anything..."

Liu Xinyan interrupted Gao Rong and said, "Auntie, my parents are gone. You don't need to say polite words. We all know that I have been too stubborn over the years and have caused you a lot of trouble. Please return my mother's bead to me."

Gao Rong glanced at Liu Xinyan, turned around and went into the house, and soon came out with a small box the size of a palm.

Liu Xinyan didn't say much, took the box and was about to leave.

Ouyang Jian called her, "Xinyan, why don't you eat first?"

"No, I have something else to do."

The worries that had troubled him for so many years were suddenly resolved. When Gao Rong looked at Liu Xinyan, his eyes were no longer hostile, but full of kindness.

"Xinyan, although you and Ruofei are not destined to be together, Aunt Gao is still your aunt. You are always welcome to visit our home in the future."

Liu Xinyan shook her head, "Auntie, there's no need for guests. Ruofei and I should avoid suspicion in the future."

"Hey, Xinyan, wait a minute."

Gao Rong called out to Liu Xinyan.

Liu Xinyan stopped and looked at her.

Gao Rong hesitated and said, "Xinyan, you see, we are all in the same compound, and we will see each other every day, so there is no need to make things so awkward.

I hope you can understand uncle and aunt, we are parents, when you become a parent in the future, you will understand...”

"Yeah." Liu Xinyan turned and was about to leave.

Gao Rong said anxiously, "Well, you know, there have been a lot of rumors in recent years. Now that you have figured it out, can you help clarify it for everyone else? This will help..."

Liu Xinyan turned her head and looked at Gao Rong sarcastically, "Auntie, don't be too greedy. You can't have it all."
