The brother and sister waited until evening, and just as Xu Zhi was about to go directly to his door, Cheng Yong arrived.

"I'd like to say a few words to Xu Jing."

Having just heard about Gu An'an and Xiao Wang Village, Xu Jing now only wanted to go and see for herself and experience it; she had no time to waste with him here.

"Did you bring the money?"

Cheng Yong reached into his pocket with a pained expression, but couldn't pull out a single coin. "Xiao Jing, I was wrong today. I shouldn't have gotten so close to other girls, but she did help me before..."

Cheng Yong was really heartbroken about the money. He had emptied his savings and borrowed some money from others to scrape together the sum. If he really gave it away, he would be broke for a long time to come.

Moreover, he couldn't bear to give up on Xu Jing. If he was looking for a horse while riding a donkey, he had to find a donkey first. Otherwise, without a donkey to carry him forward, how could he find a good horse?

Unfortunately, no matter what he wanted to do, Xu Jing was no longer willing to cooperate.

"Three, two, one! Bro, beat him up!"

Xu Zhi had been waiting for a long time. He originally thought he would have to find an opportunity to sneak in and make a move, but he didn't expect the other party to give him this opportunity. He immediately started cursing and making a move.

"I'll teach you to lie to my sister, you shameless bastard! You're always wanting more than you have, aren't you afraid of dying too?"

"You cheated me on my feelings and my money. Are you even a man? Luckily, my family is strict, and my sister wanted to save all the good things for our wedding night. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to vent my anger by just beating you up."

There were no secrets between the neighbors, and Xu Jing didn't hide anything either; people had come to her door asking when she would get married.

Now that my sister's mind has finally cleared up, and we have this opportunity again, instead of trying to resolve it secretly, we should make a big fuss about it and let people know who the real problem is.

It has to be said that Xu Zhi, as the older brother, has put in a lot of effort.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

Xu Zhi was very skillful in his actions, causing Cheng Yong pain but failing to find any problems. Cheng Yong's brows furrowed in pain, and he could only tremble as he took out a handful of loose change from his pocket.

Xu Jing counted the number and found it was correct before signaling her brother to stop.

Xu Zhi received a subtle look from his sister, reluctantly withdrew his fist, and then took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Sign here."

Cheng Yong thought he could leave after paying the money, but he didn't expect the other party to have a backup plan. He was angry but helpless. He knew he couldn't beat the other party. Otherwise, he wouldn't have targeted Xu Jing in the first place. A large part of the reason was Xu Zhi's identity.

Upon taking the paper and reading it, Cheng Yong's face grew increasingly dark. "Don't go too far."

"What do you mean by 'excessive'? You're allowed to do shameless things, but we can't retaliate?"

"I've already paid back the money, and your sister and I have already broken up. What more do you want from me?"

"I don't care about your life! Just sign it. I don't trust your character. You've paid back the money today, but who knows if you'll come after my sister again? Besides, only a few of us know what happened before. What if you go back on your word and deny it? What if you slander my sister? We have to eliminate that risk, so just sign it."

Seeing that he was hesitant to act, Xu Jing became even more suspicious of her judgment. "Everything on it is written truthfully, without any exaggeration. You don't need to worry that I'll use this note to harm you. I'm not that free. As long as you don't contact me again and don't ruin my and my family's reputation outside, this note can be treated as if it never existed."

Cheng Yong was filled with hatred, but he had to pretend to be hurt. "Xiao Jing, do we really have to come to this? Have you forgotten how much we loved each other? How could you treat me like this because of such a small mistake?"

People who don't know the situation might think that Xu Jing has climbed the social ladder and abandoned him.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to sign or not? If you don't sign, I'll expose all your dirty secrets. But you'd better think it through. If I really expose them, it will be hard for you to find a partner in the future."

Left with no other option, Cheng Yong signed his name under the watchful eyes of the siblings, then slunk away.

"Brother, shall we use this money to buy some gifts for Sister An'an and the children tomorrow?"

Xu Zhi felt that he hadn't seen his sister laugh so happily and purely in a long time. It was so comforting. "Okay, let's go tomorrow."

"Old Xiao, sister-in-law."

Hearing the call, Xiao Yuheng put on his coat and came out to open the door. Unexpectedly, the entire Xu family had come. Apart from the children, everyone was carrying something. "Uncle and Aunt, come in quickly."

"Oh my, is this Ah Heng's wife? I used to wonder what kind of wife Ah Heng would find, but I never expected him to find such a beauty."

Having just met, Gu An'an was immediately confronted with Xu's mother's enthusiasm.

"Auntie, you're exaggerating. I'm just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary? Not ordinary at all. Not only are you beautiful, but your two children look just like you. They're already so cute now, I wonder how many people they'll charm when they grow up."

Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao, who were dozing off, perked up immediately when they heard someone praising them. "Grandma, you have such good taste!"

"Grandma, you are very beautiful too. Just looking at you now, I can imagine how much more beautiful you must have been when you were young."

Da Bao and Er Bao's words were as sweet as honey, and they made Xu's mother happy with just a few words.

"Oh, my sweet baby, you're such a sweet baby."

Then he took out two red envelopes from his pocket, saying, "Take these to buy candy."

The two little ones looked at their mother, and only accepted the gift after Gu An'an spoke. Then, they showered their mother with compliments, making her feel like she was floating on air, calling her "good baby" nonstop.

Unbeknownst to Xu's mother, while she was calling other children "darlings," her grandson stood to the side, gazing at Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao with adoration.

It's amazing that someone could make their stern grandma so happy; the younger siblings are truly remarkable.

Xu's mother was a middle school teacher, and even the dean of students. She was usually very serious, especially when facing her incredibly naughty grandson, at which point her temper would flare up.

"An'an, I really have to thank you for what happened today. My daughter seems pretty smart, but I never expected her to have such bad taste. She actually fell for a man who has nothing and is so stubborn."

When Xu Jing saw Gu An'an, she was captivated by her face. It wasn't that she was a lesbian; she simply liked good-looking people or things.

On the way here, she had thought of many things to say, but when she actually saw Gu An'an, she didn't dare to say anything and just stared at her longingly.

Xu Jing was furious when she saw her mother speaking ill of her in front of her idol.

"Mom, even tigers have their naps, can't you just stop bringing up my trivial matters?"

“You know your situation is messy! I’ve advised you so many times before, and you told me to leave it to you, saying you’ve met your true love. If you weren’t my daughter, I would have cracked your skull open long ago to see if it was full of mush.”
