What's that noise?
Ye Yun jumped up, opened the window, and was met with a completely unfamiliar face.
Standing in front of her window was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He had a thin, long face, single eyelids, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He tilted his head to the side, thinking he looked cool, and his slightly narrowed eyes behind the smoke were filled with a hint of impatience as he looked at her with an intriguing expression.
This woke her up completely.
Who are you?
"Sister-in-law, it's me." The next second, Guo Lili's figure flashed out from behind the young man.
Ye Yun: "..."
Oh, not a young man, but a man.
If I'm not mistaken, this man should be Guo Lili's boyfriend in town. They couldn't get him through Qin Zheng, so they came directly to her.
What are you doing here?
Ye Yun's tone was neither warm nor cold; her attitude towards Guo Lili was neither good nor bad.
Guo Lili chuckled.
"Of course I came here to introduce my boyfriend to you. Don't you think he's handsome?" With that, she pushed the man who was smoking towards Ye Yun's window.
The man seemed somewhat reluctant, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinting at Ye Yun.
Acrid smoke billowed from his mouth, hitting her in the face. Ye Yun instinctively dodged back and slammed the window shut with a snap.
"Huh? Ye Yun? Ye Yun?"
Guo Lili called softly from outside the window. Afraid of being overheard, she didn't dare to speak loudly. She called Ye Yun's name quietly while gently knocking on Ye Yun's window.
"Ye Yun, open the window for me, I have something very important to discuss with you!"
Ye Yun remained silent through the window.
"Ye Yun, what do you mean? Open the door!"
Guo Lili outside was still persisting, banging on the window, her questioning voice coming into the room through the crack in the window.
Ye Yun scoffed coldly.
No matter how important something is, it's a matter for the Guo family. What does it have to do with her?
It's really interesting. The Qin family and the Guo family have such a deep hatred for each other. Guo Lili's father and her two older brothers were all sent to prison by her and Qin Zheng. It would be one thing if Guo Lili didn't hate her and Qin Zheng, but now she's even begging them for help.
Ha, it really is true that whoever has money is the boss.
"You'd better leave before I call for help, or if you get caught, you'll be hitting the iron bars instead of my window," Ye Yun said coldly through the window.
The area outside the window suddenly became quiet.
It is clear that her words did serve as a warning.
But soon Guo Lili's voice rang out again:
"Ye Yun, don't you think too highly of yourself?"
She lowered her voice and threatened fiercely, "Open the door for me right now! No matter what, I'm still my older brother's sister. You have no idea how much he used to love me. Even if he cuts ties with my mother, he won't cut ties with me. The only reason he's ignoring me today is because you're still next to him. Otherwise, he would have kicked me out long ago!"
"Yes, he won't abandon me. He just needs a way to back down. Hurry up and open the window!"
Ye Yun: "..."
If your older brother really cared about you, would you need to make a scene here in the middle of the night?
The child thought her words could scare the adults, but little did she know that her childish behavior only made her look ridiculous.
Ye Yun chose to ignore it.
Despite Guo Lili's repeated knocking on her window, she sat against the wall, ignoring her.
Soon, infighting broke out outside.
"Why do you insist on finding her? I think she's just a pretty woman. Do you think your brother would listen to a woman like her?" The man's tone was full of contempt for Ye Yun.
Guo Lili shamelessly came to pester Ye Yun in the middle of the night, but the man refused.
It's the middle of the night, and it's damp and cold in the mountains. Why should he, a grown man, suffer like this?
Guo Lili has always wanted to marry him, so why doesn't Guo Lili just come and beg him herself?
Besides, the woman inside was someone he'd never seen before, a woman who couldn't manage the household or make decisions. Why should he be pleading with her through the window in the middle of the night?
Doesn't he have any pride?
Doesn't he have any dignity?
“Lili, I think we should just let this go. If it really doesn’t work, you can come back with me and we can go back to our old life. If your mother makes trouble again, I will protect you. If she can’t protect you anymore, you can go home and find a chance to run away again. Eventually, your mother will get tired and stop trying to stop us.”
"Or once you get pregnant, your mother will definitely marry you off to me. Otherwise, would she let you give birth to the child alone?"
The incessant noises outside reached Ye Yun's ears clearly through the window, causing her to frown uncomfortably.
What era are we living in? There are still so many people who want to use pregnancy to coerce marriage.
If the other party wasn't Li Xiuying's daughter, or someone she and Qin Zheng wanted to distance themselves from, Ye Yun would definitely have opened the window and given them a good scolding.
“Brother Wang Dong, I admit you have a point, but my mother will make a scene…”
"So what if she makes a scene?" Guo Lili's voice had barely hesitated when Wang Dong followed up with a domineering tone: "Who doesn't know your mother is like a shrew? Anyway, she can't do anything to us. She's already made a scene once, and the whole neighborhood knows about it. It won't do any good if she comes a few more times. Let her make a scene all she wants!"
"Once you have your baby, no matter how much she complains, she'll still have to call our baby 'Grandma'!"
"..."
Ye Yun flung open the window and stared coldly at the two bewildered people.
"Young man, your shamelessness has truly reached a level of perfection. You want to get her pregnant to blackmail her mother into agreeing to your marriage? You're really something. Why don't you go to her family properly with all the proper rites and formalities? You're going to marry her anyway, but instead of giving her a proper ceremony, you're only thinking about getting her pregnant so she'll have to marry you. You're such a stingy miser. Are you trying to get something for nothing by putting on a show of freeloading right in front of your grandfather?"
After Ye Yun finished scolding, she looked at Guo Lili.
"You don't study properly, you don't go to a good matchmaker, and you're playing the elopement game with someone else."
"I'll pretend you're not Li Xiuying's daughter today, and I'm just giving you a piece of advice: if you really get pregnant before you're married to this scoundrel, the spittle will be flying at you, not him!"
"There's a crackdown on misconduct between men and women right now. He can just pull up his pants, deny everything, and run away. But you're heavily pregnant, you'll be in big trouble!"
"If this whole premarital pregnancy thing really happens, you'll be the first one to get shot. Even if you don't get shot, you'll still be bombarded with spittle. Just wait and see what happens to you in the end. You'd better watch out!"
After saying that, she slammed the window shut.
Guo Lili and Wang Dong, who were left behind by her, were completely bewildered by the scolding. They looked at each other, wondering if Ye Yun had just scolded them.
