He didn't quite believe that his mother had asked Wang Jingjing to pass on a message to him and Yuan Xiaoya, but there's always a chance of something going on, so he figured he might as well listen.
"Jingjing said that Aunt Zhang wants us to get our marriage certificate here, saying that this way we can take better care of each other. Dongze, when do you think we should go to the brigade leader to get a letter of introduction?"
Yuan Xiaoya suppressed her panic, her face showing no sign of distress, and lied to Chen Dongze.
"you……"
Chen Dongze's face darkened: "Do you think my mother would say something like that?" Who knows his mother better than her son? Knowing that the Yuan family is not what it used to be, his mother now absolutely wants him to stay away from Yuan Xiaoya, so that Yuan Xiaoya won't become a burden to him!
Just wait, his mother's reply should arrive in the next couple of days. In it, she'll definitely tell him to stop paying attention to Yuan Xiaoya. Thinking of this, Chen Dongze's gaze towards Yuan Xiaoya turned cold. He said:
"I know you have your own agenda, otherwise you wouldn't have hired people to spread rumors and slander Song Lan, but I didn't expect you to have learned to lie now... To be honest, you've disappointed me greatly!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Dongze resolutely returned to the educated youth compound.
Song Lan!
It's Song Lan again!
Can you please stop mentioning that bitch in front of her?
With red eyes, Yuan Xiaoya watched Chen Dongze's figure disappear through the gate of the educated youth compound. She felt both heartbroken and resentful...
They were childhood sweethearts; they shared a deep bond as childhood sweethearts!
Does this relationship mean nothing to him?
It can't even compare to the feelings that developed after dating that bitch Song Lan for a while?
"Brother Dongze...you hurt me time and time again, how can you bear it?" Yuan Xiaoya murmured, her heart aching more and more, and at the same time, her hatred for Song Lan only grew stronger: "No one can take Brother Dongze from me, Song Lan, I will not let you go, I will never!"
She wants to get rid of Song Lan!
Her eyes revealed a sinister malice, Yuan Xiaoya thought to herself.
Of course, she wouldn't let that bitch Song Jiaojiao get away with it either!
After all, if it weren't for the other party's instigation, putting aside everything else, just to avoid being disliked by Dongze, she would never do something as stupid as spending money to hire someone to spread rumors.
Song Lan had no idea that even though she hadn't done anything, Yuan Xiaoya had once again held a grudge against her.
Unbeknownst to them, Wang Jingjing had secretly visited Shisong Village under her name.

"Didn't we say we'd leave tomorrow?"
When Fu Jinheng returned to his residence after get off work at noon, he opened the door and saw Wang Jingjing standing in the living room with a suitcase. Upon asking her, he was surprised to learn that she was preparing to return to Beijing.
"There's not much difference between leaving now and leaving tomorrow morning."
Wang Jingjing isn't shameless. Her crush's grandmother has made her feelings so clear. If she still tries to win him over, how is that any different from being a jerk?
"You seem upset. Tell me, where did you go at noon?"
Noticing that something was wrong with Wang Jingjing, Fu Jinheng looked serious and immediately asked a question.
"I'm perfectly fine!"
Wang Jingjing forced a smile and said casually, "Brother, I know you came here to take care of Uncle, but I hope you can return to work at a major hospital in Beijing someday, so you can better realize your ambitions."
“I won’t go back as long as my second uncle stays here.” Fu Jinheng stated his position and steered the conversation back to Wang Jingjing, saying, “Don’t change the subject, tell me, did you go to Shisong Village at noon?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingjing bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while, then looked up at Fu Jinheng and said, "You already know, why are you still asking?"
Fu Jinheng: "Have you seen Xiao Yu?"
Wang Jingjing shook her head: "No."
Fu Jinheng asked in confusion, "Then why do you look so disheveled when you haven't seen Xiao Yu?"
“Brother, you’re right. Brother Xiao and I aren’t a good match… From now on, you can rest assured that I won’t… I won’t have any more illusions about Brother Xiao. When I return to the capital, I’ll ask Mom to help me find someone suitable. If I meet someone suitable, I’ll get married.”
With a smile that looked more like a grimace, Wang Jingjing suppressed the pain welling up inside her and said, "I originally thought that as long as I liked him, as long as Brother Xiao knew my true feelings, we could be together. But I overlooked the fact that marriage is not just a matter between two people."
It actually involves two families. If their families disagree or feel that they are not suitable for each other, then even if the two of them can get together, they may not necessarily be happy.
Besides, my feelings for Brother Xiao... are merely one-sided. And between her and me, between the Xiao family and the Wang family, there's Chen Shu. This... this actually means my feelings are destined to have no future."
Unbeknownst to Wang Jingjing, tears streamed down her face, which made Fu Jinheng feel a pang of heartache. He patted her shoulder and said gently, "Silly girl, what's there to cry about?! You haven't even started dating Xiao Yu yet. You've just realized that you two aren't a good match. Don't think you'll fall because of such a small hurdle."
Thinking of his own love affair that ended before it even began, Fu Jinheng felt a sudden empathy, realizing that he and Wang Jingjing were indeed siblings, even sharing similarities in their love lives.
—A one-sided crush, before the feelings could even be expressed, was brought to an end by the animation!
"Brother! I... I'm in so much pain... It feels like a piece of my heart has been ripped out, it hurts so much... I don't even know how I got back to your place..."
As Wang Jingjing spoke, she sniffled, unable to stop the tears from welling up in her eyes.
"Since you haven't seen Xiao Yu, who has caused this mood?"
After composing himself, Fu Jinheng asked with some curiosity.
"That's what Grandma Luo said."
"Grandma Luo?"
“Brother Xiao’s grandmother.”
"oh!"
"Grandma Luo said that Brother Xiao and I were not a good match, and told me not to go to Shisong Village anymore, saying that it would be better for me and their family."
"That's true. Okay, it's not a big deal. Go wash your face, I'll go make lunch for us."
"How can this be a small matter? I'm heartbroken, this is a huge deal, boohoo~"
Wang Jingjing cried very sadly.
Fu Jinheng chuckled and shook his head. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked, "You didn't go to Shisong Village under Nurse Song's name..." Before he could finish, Wang Jingjing said, "I went to Nurse Song's house under her name, but I brought a gift. This... this isn't impolite, is it?"
"..."
Seeing Wang Jingjing's tearful eyes and troubled expression, Fu Jinheng remained silent for a while. After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said, "Sit in the living room and wait. After dinner, I'll take you to town to sit down."
"I'm not hungry, I want to leave now."
Wang Jingjing shook her head.
"Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat something."
It's mealtime now, how can we not eat?
"Then I'd like to have congee and pickled vegetables."
Wang Jingjing suggested that she wanted something lighter to eat, otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to eat it.
"Wait."
Fu Jinheng responded, but in his heart he was thinking that he would have to apologize to Song Lan when he saw her at work in the afternoon.
