"Mom!" Zhou Yunxiao hurried to Li Xiu Lian and quietly told her what had just happened.
Li Xiulian was calm, looking at Mao Lin with tears in her eyes: "What Xiao Ye said is true, she is indeed the wife I chose for Yun Ce. I am really sorry that I couldn't tell you about this in advance, but Yun Ce has wasted a lot of energy on you these days. Let's end your relationship here, otherwise it will not be fair to Xiao, I must give her an explanation."
Hearing this, Mao Lin was struck by lightning, her face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and she looked incredulous.
She came here today with sincerity, and had already thought about how to please her future mother-in-law. If she wasn't the director of the medical office, she wouldn't have spent so much money to buy a ginseng, causing her to have to eat coarse food and vegetables during this period, and causing complaints at home!
Mao Lin tightly grasped the corner of Zhou Yunce's clothes, ignored Li Xiulian's words, and cried, "Yunce..."
Zhou Yunce ignored Mao Lin and stared at Li Xiulian, with a hint of sneer in his eyes.
He curled his lips, put his arm around Mao Lin's shoulders, and said calmly, "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, how old are they? Why are you still talking about them? Now it's a new society, and we are against arranged marriages. Comrade Mao Lin is my partner."
Li Xiulian frowned, looked at Zhou Yunce, and said coldly: "You know I won't agree."
Zhou Yunce shrugged his shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, "So what? I have the final say over my marriage. It's fine as long as I'm willing. I'm not asking you to marry Comrade Mao Lin. If you don't welcome it, forget it. Comrade Mao Lin, let's go."
He turned around and went to get the coat hanging on the hanger. Mao Lin burst into laughter and followed him.
"Zhou Yunce! If you take even one step out of this door today, don't call me mom anymore!" Li Xiulian's face darkened. She spoke each word with a sonorous voice that seemed to carry a tremendous force, successfully making Zhou Yunce stop in his tracks.
Mao Lin was a little scared. She put on her coat, looked at Zhou Yunce, and whispered, "Yunce, you can't just ignore me."
Zhou Yunce gritted his teeth, his face full of impatience and irritability, and sneered, "Whatever."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Mao Lin, he opened the door and was about to go out. Zhou Yunxiao was so scared that her face turned pale, she rushed up and grabbed Zhou Yunce: "Brother! Mom's health is not good, don't make her angry, can't we talk about it properly?"
Zhou Yunxiao pleaded with her eyes red.
Although her brother and mother have had a bad relationship over the years, it wouldn't be so strained. She was really scared.
There was a flash of pity in Zhou Yunce's eyes, but thinking of his mother's decision, he forced himself to hold it back. He pushed Zhou Yunxiao away and was about to leave. Mao Lin was about to follow him when she saw him, but as if she thought of something, she went back and picked up the gifts she had brought.
Although all this money was spent by Zhou Yunce, since the other party doesn't like her, there is no need for her to try to please him!
There are malted milk and canned beef in here. You can take them back and give them to your nephews and nieces. Why should they be given to others at a lower price?
Shi Ye looked at Mao Lin's hurried figure carrying lots of bags, and her eyelids twitched. This lady was truly an amazing person. Zhou Yunce's vision was also very special. She also understood why Li Xiu Lian would rather fulfill the engagement than let Mao Lin in.
Li Xiulian said sternly, "Let him go! Once he leaves, don't ever come back! Everything in the house will be left to you!"
Upon hearing this, Mao Lin stopped in his tracks, his face filled with shock. He turned around and looked at Li Xiu Lian as if he was looking at an old witch.
Shi also curled up the corners of his mouth at an inappropriate time. This Mao Lin can act in a comedy.
Zhou Yunce was pulled by Zhou Yunxiao to turn around and saw Shiye who was laughing secretly. He followed her gaze to look at Mao Lin, pursed his lips, and said calmly: "I can support myself, I don't need charity from my family."
After saying that, Zhou Yunce strode away. Even though Mao Lin was unwilling, she had no choice but to follow him.
Li Xiu Lian was so angry that she took several deep breaths. Before dinner even started, the protagonist on the stage had already left the stage.
Shiye's eyes flickered slightly, and he said hurriedly, "Aunt Xiulian, I'll go get Brother Yunce back right now!"
Qin Zhenzhen bit her lip and wanted to chase after him, but since she had no identity, she could only stay behind feeling sad.
Zhou Yunxiao looked at Shiye who chased after her and wiped her red eyes, hoping that her eldest brother would remember their childhood friendship and follow her back. If that happened, she would accept Shiye as his sister-in-law.

"Yunce! Wait for me, Yunce!" Mao Lin, carrying large and small bags, chased Zhou Yunce with great effort.
Whether it was because he had a change of heart or for some other reason, Zhou Yunce stopped and stood outside the family compound with a gloomy face.
Mao Lin ran after him, panting, and asked angrily, "Why are you running so fast?"
Zhou Yunce ignored Mao Lin's words, and the latter didn't care. She looked back at the family compound and said hesitantly, "Are we really leaving like this? Aren't you going to coax your mother? What if she really doesn't agree with our marriage?"
"Do you really want to marry me? Don't forget the reason why I looked for you in the first place." Zhou Yunce's eyes were cold and he was very dissatisfied.
Mao Lin saw the dark color in his eyes, her face turned pale, and she tucked her hair behind her ears to hide it: "Yunce, I really like you. After all this time, you don't have any feelings for me at all? Then why do you give me money? Why do you take care of my family? I promise that I will be quiet after marrying you, can you give me a chance?"
Zhou Yunce's face became more impatient. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Maki chasing after him: "Wait! I have something to say!"
Mao Lin's face changed, and she looked at her warily: "What are you doing here?! Do you think you haven't hurt Yun Ce enough? If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have had a conflict with his mother and it wouldn't have turned out like this. How dare you come here?"
After saying that, Mao Lin secretly glanced at Zhou Yunce and said sarcastically, "Back then on the black market, you said that your fiancé's family is now wealthy and rich, and they don't like you, an orphan. Haha, you said that to me, right?"
Mao Lin gnashed her teeth and said, "Yunce, don't believe her. She was the one who sold me ginseng on the black market! I suspect she has already found out about you and me, and has been following me secretly just to alienate our relationship!"
"Now it's all good. It's exactly what she wanted!" Mao Lin's heart was bleeding when she thought of Li Xiu Lian's words.
Zhou Yunce heard what Mao Lin said and looked at Shiye, raising his eyebrows slightly: "Your family is rich and wealthy, so why would you look down on an orphan like you? I think Director Li is quite satisfied with you. I haven't seen you for many years, and Comrade Shiye has changed a lot."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Shi Ye came closer, raised the corners of his eyes, and smiled.
"Shameless!" Mao Lin was so angry that her face turned blue. If she didn't have the bags in her hands, she would have raised her hand again.
Shi Ye ignored the furious Mao Lin and looked at Zhou Yunce. He put away the smile on his face and became more serious: "Comrade Zhou Yunce, I want to talk to you alone about our marriage."
