Chen Zhaodi immediately stepped in front of Zhou Hongyu and shouted, "Liu Yuting, don't cry just because you see the two of us. It's none of our business if you don't want to get married!"
Liu Yuting realized she had lost her composure and wiped away her tears: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions for a moment."
At this moment, Boss Peng took a big step forward, his tone sincere.
"Yuting, I've brought my two sisters-in-law here. I know there are some things you can't say to me, so you can talk to them. If they agree with your idea, then I won't bother you anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuting was overcome with grief. She paused for a moment and then slowly nodded.
"good!"
Liu Yuting led Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi inside. Peng Xiaomei wanted to follow, but was stopped by Boss Peng.
"Big brother..."
"Little sister, we'll wait outside!"
Upon entering the living room, Liu Yuting busied herself pouring tea for the two of them.
Chen Zhaodi looked around and whispered, "Boss Peng is really generous to Liu Yuting. Such a nice house, refrigerator, sofa, color TV... and she still wants to run away from the wedding!"
Chen Zhaodi couldn't understand Liu Yuting's actions. Liu Yuting's conditions were average, while Boss Peng, although from out of town, was not short of money. It was already quite good for her to find such a partner!
Zhou Hongyu raised an eyebrow at the person behind her. Liu Yuting is back!
Liu Yuting had already heard Chen Zhaodi's words. She gave a desolate smile and put the teacup on the table.
"Sister-in-law Hongbing, I'm not being unreasonable, I had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure!"
Chen Zhaodi pouted: "You're a grown woman, you can get married whenever you want, who can stop you? Don't make excuses for yourself. I think that at the last moment, you suddenly feel that your family is more important than your future husband! So you won't get married!"
"No! I want to get married more than anyone else!" Liu Yuting suddenly became emotional.
"Alright, shut up!" Zhou Hongyu immediately stopped Chen Zhaodi, who was speaking in a very unpleasant manner.
Liu Yuting sat down on a chair and started crying.
"I want to get married! I dream of marrying Lao Peng! I want to have children with Lao Peng! I want to have a home with him!"
Liu Yuting struggled in anguish: "But they won't let me have my way!"
"Them? The Liu family?" Zhou Hongyu grasped the key point.
Liu Yuting nodded: "I did something wrong when I was a sent-down youth, and they have something on me! I can't marry Lao Peng! If I don't listen to them, I won't even have any dignity left in front of Lao Peng!"
Chen Zhaodi said in disbelief, "Those are your family members, how could they be so rude..."
Chen Zhaodi used to think that her family was difficult to get along with, and that they only wanted money. But now that she has seen the ugliest side of the Liu family, she actually thinks that her family is not so bad after all.
Indeed, there is no harm without comparison.
Liu Yuting shook her head, crying: "I don't know how much benefit the shoe factory manager promised them. They demanded that I marry into the factory, or they would expose all the things I did in the past and make me too ashamed to stay in Beijing!"
Zhou Hongyu frowned: "Can you tell us what happened? Is it that serious? Maybe we can help you if you tell us."
Liu Yuting remained silent, tears streaming down her face; nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart.
Seeing this, Chen Zhaodi gently nudged Zhou Hongyu's arm: "I think we should leave. Liu Yuting still favors the Liu family; it doesn't matter who she marries!"
Zhou Hongyu hesitated. She had already come all this way, and going back after just a quick look around without accomplishing anything would be a waste of time!
Seeing that Zhou Hongyu did not object, Chen Zhaodi went over and patted Liu Yuting on the shoulder.
"Yuting, we all understand you. If you don't want to get married, then you don't have to. Since that's how things are, let's go back now!"
Chen Zhaodi turned around to tell Zhou Hongyu to leave, but Liu Yuting seemed to be provoked by her words and suddenly stood up.
Kneel down with a thud!
Liu Yuting kowtowed: "Sister-in-law Hongbing, Sister-in-law Xingwang, please help me! I want to marry Lao Peng!"
After kowtowing, Liu Yuting stood up and, enduring the humiliation, recounted the most painful thing that had ever happened to her.
That year, when educated youth were sent to the countryside, Liu Yuting was lonely due to the hardships of life. She fell in love with a male educated youth who was with her and they promised to stay together for life, but in the end, she was cruelly abandoned.
"...That time we tasted the forbidden fruit, I got pregnant..."
Chen Zhaodi couldn't hear what was being said next; her mind was filled with thoughts of being pregnant, pregnant...
From this perspective, Liu Yuting is not a good match for Boss Peng!
Although Boss Peng is from out of town, he owns a car, a house, and money. His business is doing quite well now, and he can even compete with them.
Chen Zhaodi couldn't help but speak up: "Yuting, since that's the case, why don't you listen to your family's arrangements and marry the youngest son of the shoe factory manager? That would be better for everyone..."
"Chen Zhaodi!"
Zhou Hongyu gave a reprimand, and Chen Zhaodi shut up defiantly.
What she said made perfect sense, but Zhou Hongyu, that tyrant, couldn’t tolerate any dissenting voices!
Zhou Hongyu tried to offer a suggestion: "I don't think Boss Peng is the kind of person who cares about this. This time you chose to be a coward and run away at the last minute, and he still looks like he's waiting for you to explain. Why don't you two talk things out!"
With tears streaming down her face, Liu Yuting's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Will he accept it?"
Zhou Hongyu felt it was worth a gamble: "If he accepts, you can continue on your path; if he doesn't, it can't be worse than continuing to run away!"
Liu Yuting looked down at her hands and remained silent.
Chen Zhaodi poured cold water on the idea again: "Zhou Hongyu, stop talking big. No man can accept this kind of thing. Yuting, I think you should just listen to your family and marry the youngest son of the shoe factory manager!"
Liu Yuting wanted to cry whenever she mentioned this, and she gave up on herself.
"I'm taking a gamble for my future!"
Chen Zhaodi had a strange expression and went to call the Peng siblings, who were locked outside, in.
Peng Xiaomei probed, "Sister Chen, what's Liu Yuting's attitude?"
"Little sister! Show some respect! Don't call your sister-in-law by her first name!"
"snort!"
Peng Xiaomei was taken out shortly after she went in.
Zhou Hongyu: "If they want to have a frank discussion, we'll give them some private space!"
As she was leaving, Peng Xiaomei grinned, clearly harboring a strong grudge against Liu Yuting. In her mind, Liu Yuting had become the number one scheming woman!
She was terrified that her elder brother would be misled by Liu Yuting into ceding territory and paying reparations, agreeing to all sorts of unfair conditions.
The three of them went outside and stood in the corridor. Chen Zhaodi took out some roasted peanuts that she had taken from the room and gave them to the other two.
"Keep eating, things won't be cleared up inside for the time being..."
Before he could finish speaking, a noise came from the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Peng Xiaomei felt a surge of nervousness and wished she could rush inside.
Zhou Hongyu released the doorknob: "The door is closed!"
Peng Xiaomei rushed over, pressed her face against the door, and shouted into the room, "Big brother, are you alright!"
"Thank goodness, little sister, don't worry! We'll be out in a minute!"
Chen Zhaodi covered her mouth and chuckled as she looked at Zhou Hongyu. See? I told you no man could accept Liu Yuting's shameful past!
