Zhang Xiu Yue entered the private room and ordered two maids to guard the door to block out any prying eyes from downstairs.
She has always been gentle and proud in front of others, proud of her status as a lady from a noble family. In addition, she has a crush on Chen Yu, so she is even more reserved and gentle in front of him. She has never lost her composure like she did today.
Zhang Xiu Yue poured herself a cup of tea, took two sips from the bowl, and forced herself to calm down.
She looked straight at Chen Yu with her tear-washed eyes, her voice carrying a nasal tone of grievance, "I want to ask you, was it because she told you that I was unfaithful and you believed her slander that you broke off the engagement with me?"
Chen Yu glanced at Yu Jiao and saw that there was no coldness on her face. He retracted his gaze and said to Zhang Xiuyue, "It has nothing to do with her. The news that you are ill did not come from her. I asked someone to check it out."
Zhang Xiu Yue's eyes suddenly turned red, and her pupils were misty. She opened her eyes wide, trying to read some emotion in Chen Yu's calm eyes, but there was nothing.
Zhang Xiuyue bit her lip and said desperately, "Then you know that my body is not..."
"I know." Chen Yu said directly.
Zhang Xiuyue couldn't stand his indifferent tone any longer. She burst into tears and stood up, raising her voice, "Since you know why... why did you use that excuse to break off the engagement with me?"
Now she no longer cared about the presence of others, and she no longer cared about her dignity. Zhang Xiuyue choked and continued, "Chen Yu, do you really not want to marry me? Do you... really not want to agree to this marriage? That's why you came to my house with such a ridiculous excuse to cancel the engagement?"
Chen Yu agreed and said nothing.
It was really a bad thing for him to use such a despicable excuse to break off the engagement.
Zhang Xiuyue asked Chen Yu loudly in anger and despair, "Why...why did you do this to me? If you didn't like me, you shouldn't have agreed to this marriage in the first place. Since you agreed to the marriage, why did you falsely accuse me of innocence to cancel the engagement? I like you so much, how could you humiliate me like this?"
Shen Yu remained silent, allowing Zhang Xiu Yue to vent and accuse.
Zhang Xiuyue could not stand his silence and became more and more furious. She was forced to completely collapse. She walked up to Chen Yu and begged in her crying voice, "Speak, why don't you speak? Chen Yu, you bastard, even if I wasn't sick, you had planned to cancel the engagement a long time ago? You never thought of marrying me, right? In order to cancel the engagement, how could you do so much? You slandered my innocence and reputation. I am a woman..."
Zhang Xiuyue's face was full of tears. She cried so hard that she almost fainted on the ground. She was heartbroken. "Have you ever thought about how I can get married in the future if I am falsely accused of innocence? What should I do in the future?"
Shen Yu stood there motionless, allowing her to complain in tears. Businessmen always put their own interests first. Although he knew that if the news of the Shen family's cancellation of the engagement spread, it would ruin Zhang Xiu Yue, he had never considered these things.
"I'm sorry." Perhaps the son of a businessman is naturally heartless and cold-blooded. Chen Yu looked at Zhang Xiu Yue quietly. Even though she was crying and looked pitiful, he was not moved at all.
Zhang Xiuyue couldn't hold it in any longer. She lost all her rationality and grabbed Chen Yu's collar. She cried and beat him, "Chen Yu, you are a complete bastard! Do you know that I almost hanged myself with a white silk to prove my innocence? How could you do this to me? I have liked you for so many years..."
Chen Yu did not move until Zhang Xiu Yue had vented enough, was crying out of breath, and was about to fall to the ground, then he supported her.
"You're right, I'm a bastard and a piece of shit, you shouldn't like me." Shen Yu whispered, there was no emotion in his voice.
After crying for a while, Zhang Xiu Yue was no longer able to breathe, and her red and swollen eyes were filled with disappointment.
Shen Yu called the Zhang family maid who was guarding the door in and ordered, "Send your young lady back."
Two little maids were guarding outside the door, listening to all the noises in the room. They didn't dare to say anything and walked forward to support Zhang Xiu Yue as she walked out of the private room.
Yu Jiao, who had been silent since entering the house, suddenly spoke up, "Ms. Zhang, since you already know about the misunderstanding, stop making random assumptions about others. It's better to refrain from repaying kindness with enmity."
It’s not that she has no sympathy for Zhang Xiu Yue’s experience, but one thing is one thing.
Zhang Xiu Yue had been crying so hard that her expression was numb. After hearing Yu Jiao's words, she turned around and looked at her without saying a word. She knew very well that all her embarrassment was seen by this woman. She closed her eyes and was helped down the stairs by the maid.
After Zhang Xiu Yue left, the atmosphere in the private room became depressing. After a long silence, Yu Jiao stood up.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Yu straightened the collar of her clothes that had been torn by Zhang Xiuyue and laughed at herself, "After watching such a good show, do you feel relieved?"
"It has nothing to do with me. I don't feel anything." Yu Jiao said lightly.
Chen Yu sneered and looked at Yu Jiao's back, suddenly feeling that she was even colder than him.
"I'm just venting my anger for being bullied by the Zhang family. How can you say it has nothing to do with you?" Shen Yu thought of the embarrassed look just now and felt angry for no reason.
Yu Jiao stopped and looked at Chen Yu quietly with her almond eyes, "Master Chen, maybe you will never meet a woman who likes you as much as Miss Zhang in your life. You should regret it."
After saying that, ignoring the expression on Shen Yu's face, Yu Jiao turned around and left the private room with Yu Fuling.
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, not taking Yu Jiao's words seriously. He straightened his clothes and saw Dayong standing in the corner with his neck shrunk, secretly looking at him. He said angrily, "What are you looking at? Go back home!"
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling left Zuiyun Tower. After they walked away, Yu Fuling sighed, "I see that Miss Zhang is madly in love with the young master of the Shen family. She is really a pitiful person."
"In this world, anyone can live without anyone else. It all depends on whether you can let it go." Yu Jiao took the opportunity to criticize Yu Fuling, "Men like Chen Yu are scumbags. After you get married, if your future husband treats you badly, don't just keep being humble and swallow your anger. The kind of life you want is not something a man can give you."
"Why are you asking me to do this for no reason?" Yu Fuling's cheeks turned slightly red.
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I hope that you and your spouse will live in harmony and have a smooth marriage in the future."
Yu Fuling blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and hesitantly asked, "How old are you? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The depressed mood that had previously been caused by Zhang Xiu Yue was swept away, and the two of them went back to find Yu Qiaoshan and the others with laughter.
Seeing that they had sold all the umbrellas, Yu Qiaoshan and Yu Mengshan were very happy. They bought some food in the town and returned home.
Zhao was almost looking forward to it. When she saw Yu Jiao coming back, she hurriedly rushed forward and asked about the letter of recommendation.
Yu Jiao took out the three letters that Lin Fu had written earlier from her bosom. Zhao was overjoyed and hurried to talk to Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan.
In the evening, Mu Nianjiu came to Yu's house, and the second master of the Mu family, who had not been seen for many days, also got off the carriage.
