Chapter 263 Report
One of them said, "Have you heard? The Xu family is really generous this time! They've actually offered two job openings!"
Another person chimed in, "That's right! With such generous terms, no wonder the Shen family agreed to break off the engagement. I would have agreed too."
Shen Xiaoxiao was thinking, now that the engagement has come to annulment, will Chen Mengmeng start faking illness again?
Will Xu Wenhua come back and beg Shen Junqi again to save his sweetheart?
Shen Xiaoxiao just didn't know that she was the female lead; Chen Mengmeng wanted to make her suffer as much as possible.
Her life will only get better and better, and up to this day she still doesn't know that the person she is engaged to is Shen Junqi.
The Xu family was in an uproar, with noise filling the air.
Sister-in-law Xu pointed at Xu Wenhua with a face full of anger and said indignantly, "Brother-in-law, although our family has separated, I believe that I have always treated my parents-in-law and you with the utmost care and respect!"
“Look at you, you can easily get two job openings, but you’ve never thought about your older brother even a little bit, nor do you think about letting your older brother have a government job so that he doesn’t have to work in the fields all day long.”
Before Sister-in-law Xu could finish speaking, Brother Xu, his face ashen, coldly said, "Alright, that's enough!"
Sister-in-law Xu wouldn't listen. She widened her eyes, raised her voice, and continued to shout, "Why can't I speak? We're brothers! He's never thought of getting his older brother a respectable job."
"Originally, we were understanding that it was not easy for him to serve in the military, and we did not want to abuse our power to obtain job quotas."
"But who would have thought that he would be so generous in order to break off the engagement, casually giving away two job opportunities to someone else!"
At this point, Sister-in-law Xu became increasingly angry, her eyes gradually reddening, and tears welling up in them.
“Our family is already struggling financially. Our son and daughter are growing up day by day and will soon be going to school. Our expenses will only keep increasing.”
"We can't even afford a single penny." As Sister Xu spoke, her voice began to tremble, eventually turning into a sob, making her appear extremely aggrieved.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry! Mengmeng really went to great lengths to get these two job opportunities for me."
"I really don't have the ability to help my older brother get another spot right now. I hope you can understand my difficulties." Xu Wenhua looked guilty, his head almost touching the ground.
"Hmph! Look at you, you easily got two job openings for yourself, but when I asked you to get one for your older brother, you kept saying you couldn't!"
"Did you hear that? Your brother said there's nothing he can do, so what are you standing here for? Come home with me right now!"
Sister-in-law Xu glared angrily at Xu Wenhua, then grabbed Brother Xu, who had been silent beside her, and turned to walk quickly toward her home.
As his sister-in-law pulled him forward, Brother Xu couldn't help but glance back at Xu Wenhua, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Wenhua, your sister-in-law is in a bad mood, so I'll go back with her first."
"Don't take her words to heart, and don't hold it against her." After saying that, he let Sister-in-law Xu pull him away.
Watching his elder brother and sister-in-law walk away, Xu Wenhua was filled with deep self-reproach and guilt.
Over the years, I have been serving in the army, focusing only on my own career and future. I have never seriously considered whether my brother's family was struggling financially, let alone thought about finding a stable job for him to improve their living conditions.
Now, facing his sister-in-law's accusations and his brother's disappointment, he felt ashamed and secretly resolved to make up for his shortcomings towards his family as soon as possible.
This time, two job openings were given to outsiders again, no wonder the sister-in-law was so angry.
Chen Mengmeng has been feeling uneasy lately, with a nameless sense of unease hanging over her.
After Xu Wenhua broke off the engagement, she was originally full of confidence that her carefully planned scheme would proceed smoothly.
After all, according to her plan, as long as she successfully got Xu Wenhua to break off their engagement, she could then naturally and continuously draw luck from Shen Xiaoxiao.
However, things didn't go as planned. No matter how hard Chen Mengmeng tried various methods, the value representing her luck seemed to be frozen in place. Not only did it not increase at all, but it even showed a gradual downward trend.
"Damn system, what on earth is going on? Why can't I absorb even a tiny bit of luck from Shen Xiaoxiao despite all my efforts?" Chen Mengmeng shouted anxiously at the system in her mind.
The system's response was as cold and emotionless as ever, as if it were just a lifeless machine executing program instructions.
"We are currently conducting in-depth analysis of the relevant data. Please wait a moment..."
Time passed second by second, and every second felt like an eternity to Chen Mengmeng, who was filled with anxiety.
Finally, after a period of agonizing silence, the system's monotone voice rang out again: "After a comprehensive and meticulous examination, an anomaly has been identified."
"Through further investigation, we discovered that the person Xu Wenhua was engaged to was not the female lead Shen Xiaoxiao, but her cousin Shen Junqi."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Mengmeng was stunned. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit inside.
Her face was filled with disbelief, and she couldn't help but scream, "What?! How is this possible? You clearly told me before that it was Shen Xiaoxiao!"
"They said that if I got close to Xu Wenhua and made him fall in love with me, I could absorb a portion of his luck. How come now she's his cousin?"
The system's tone remained calm: "The previous information was incorrect. After re-verification, it has been confirmed that Shen Junqi is the one engaged to the male lead. Therefore, you cannot absorb luck from Shen Xiaoxiao."
Chen Mengmeng was so angry she felt like she was about to explode. Her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and her anger seemed to be bursting out of her body.
She clenched her teeth, muttering to herself, "You useless, worthless system! How could you get such important information wrong?"
"I've wasted so much precious time like this."
The system's voice remained emotionless and cold as it responded: "Given the current situation, the wisest course of action is to re-plan and adjust our strategy."
