"How is it?" Song Qingyun asked, knowing the answer but still pressing for the result. He was a wicked man, not a kind person.
Zhou Jinyu gritted her teeth and revealed the truth: "Their family still holds a grudge about what happened back then, so we won't be able to have dinner tonight!"
Zhou Jinyu told Song Qingyun about what happened back then. Song Qingyun expressed his understanding and felt sorry for her experiences during those years away from home, which moved Zhou Jinyu deeply.
Therefore, I felt even more that my aunt's family was unreasonable and unforgiving.
So much time has passed, and the damage is irreparable. It would be better to reconcile and she could try her best to make amends.
Zhou Jinyu couldn't help but look at the gentle and refined Song Qingyun. With the Song family's strength, they could meet any unreasonable demands made by her aunt's family.
Unfortunately, my aunt's family is too arrogant and doesn't even respect the Song family. They've been ordinary people for too long and have no sense of propriety.
While Zhou Jinyu was unhappy with today's outcome, she couldn't help but feel that her aunt's family was putting on an act and raising their voices too high.
Since we're not giving them any face today, they can forget about ever coming to us for help again!
Song Qingyun's expression remained unchanged as he gently stroked the stray hairs on Zhou Jinyu's forehead.
"It's alright, take it slow. I'll be there for you until our two families are reconciled!"
His purpose in marrying Zhou Jinyu was precisely to target Chang Xingwang's harem.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinyu was moved: "Qingyun, only you understand me! All these years I have felt indebted because of what happened back then, and I wanted to make it up to you, but no one gave me a kind look!"
With a thriving career and a beloved partner, receiving parental care seems to have become much easier.
She longed to go back to the past, to rebuild her relationship with her cousin's family, and for the two families to live in harmony, so that her life would be perfect.
Song Qingyun embraced her, smiling gently.
Constant dripping wears away a stone. By marrying Zhou Jinyu, he had already become involved with Zhou Hongyu. Why should he worry about causing trouble for Chang Xingwang in the future? He wasn't in a hurry.
Zhou Jinyu drew energy from his smile and secretly rallied her spirits, determined not to let Qingyun down!
We absolutely have to win over my aunt's family!

Chang Xingwang walked into the house with a frown on his face, holding a document in his hand.
"You're giving me attitude as soon as you get back?" Zhou Hongyu glanced at him, and seeing his serious expression, she couldn't help but make a joke.
Chang Xingwang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and shouted, "No!"
Zhou Hongyu smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and asked him, "What is it?"
Chang Xingwang handed her the document directly: "My senior, Zhang Dezhu, whose wife and children came to his home last year, recently lost his job because of his conduct issues!"
Before even looking at it, Zhou Hongyu asked directly, "Are you worried about him?"
Hmph, if you dare to answer, you'll be in big trouble tonight. Just thinking about Zhang Dezhu's family makes me sick. If Chang Xingwang can't tell right from wrong, then he has to be taught a lesson.
Chang Xingwang put the document away: "No!"
"Hmph!" Zhou Hongyu expressed her attitude with a heavy interjection.
Chang Xingwang continued, "He's an adult, and I can't interfere in his affairs, but someone told me that after the incident, he came to Beijing without reporting to the local authorities and then disappeared!"
!!
This ticking time bomb has now disappeared in Beijing!
Zhou Hongyu sat up immediately in a hurry, and Chang Xingwang, understanding her worries, reached out to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
Zhou Hongyu looked at him with suspicion. "Are you sure you can do it?"
In the years without Chang Xingwang, Zhou Hongyu was used to relying on herself, so even though Chang Xingwang verbally promised that he would take care of it, Zhou Hongyu still preferred to do it herself.
Without saying a word, Zhou Hongyu detained Zhou Pozi in the research institute's family compound and also asked for leave for her child, to wait and see how things went.
As for the people in Shuangdong Hutong, they were also notified of this matter, but no one obeyed the arrangements.
Chang Hongbing's family was busy with work, and Zhou Hongyu's words were selectively ignored.
The elderly couple ignored the warning and insisted on staying in their home.
Old Chang argued vehemently that he and his wife usually frequented the area around the alley, and anyone who wanted to harm them would have to think twice.
Zhou Hongyu felt a headache for a few seconds at this expected result, then passed it on to Chang Xingwang.
She was a little worried, but not too much. She herself had been severely scolded for keeping her mother confined in the research institute's family compound, and she had lost her spirit.
It's best if nothing happens...
I hope everything is alright!
A few days later, news came that Zhang Dezhu, who had been missing, had committed suicide by leaving a suicide note in a lake in the suburbs.
In his suicide note, he expressed three main points: first, he deeply regretted causing trouble for the Chang family because of his daughter-in-law's unauthorized actions; second, he deeply regretted not having strived for success in the past, indulging in frivolous pursuits and neglecting his duties, which led to years of stagnation and prevented him from contributing to the country like Chang Xingwang; third…
He eventually confessed that he was jealous of Chang Xingwang's talent and conspired with the Cai family to help Cai Baozhu take Chang Xingwang's place in university.
The matter of Chang Xingwang being replaced in university admission has now come to an end.
Those who knew him found it somewhat tragic; a single wrong decision led him down a path of no return.
Such a young life, gone just like that.
There is an old Chinese saying: "When a person dies, their debts are wiped out."
No matter how much hatred and resentment there is, it cannot outweigh the saying that a person's death absolves all debts.
