“Hey, kid, what are you saying? I'm thinking about your and your sister's future, what's shameful about it? If it weren't for your dad and me, you wouldn't be here…”
"Alright! Stop it, will you? Bringing this up all the time, are you trying to prove you're all capable and I'm useless? When will you ever stop?!"
Liu Yansong was furious. He just couldn't understand why everyone liked to bring up those things, which really made him angry.
"Alright, alright, Mother won't say anymore, she won't say anymore."
How could my son be a good-for-nothing? He's our family's lucky star! Look, because of you, our family moved from the countryside to the city, and everyone in our family except your sister has a job...
"This is all thanks to my son's abilities. Look at the other people in our village, whose son has such great skills?"
These words seemed to hit the nail on the head. The gloom on Liu Yansong's face quickly dissipated, and he unconsciously straightened his back, a hint of pride creeping onto his face.
Noticing that he was in a better mood, Liu's mother, under the prompting of Liu's father's eyes, asked about work again.
"So did you tell her or not? This brat can't possibly disagree, can she?"
Liu Qinqin had been standing to the side, afraid to speak for fear that Liu Yansong would get angry with her, but when she heard that Zhu Qinghao disagreed, she became extremely anxious and could no longer pretend to be a quail.
"What? She doesn't agree? What right does that bitch have to disagree? If she doesn't agree, my brother shouldn't marry her!"
"Shut your stinking mouth! What are you yelling about? Look at yourself! You don't look like a proper young lady at all. You're so easily startled, what's the difference between you and a shrew from the countryside?"
And who are you calling a slut? It's your sister-in-law!
"Aren't you shameless? If you weren't shameless, why would you be eyeing someone else's job? Besides, with your grades, you want to be a teacher? You'd be misleading students."
Liu Yansong's mood, which had just started to improve, was ruined again. He was extremely agitated when he thought about how Zhu Qinghao had already said she wanted to break off the engagement, and how his family was still trying to use the marriage as leverage.
He simply couldn't hold back any longer and launched a tirade against Liu Qinqin.
"Brother! You're my brother, why are you so protective of other women? The Zhu family has been demoted, she's no longer the young lady she used to be, why are you still licking her boots like a dog... ah!"
Before Liu Qinqin could finish speaking, her face began to sting.
Liu Yansong withdrew his somewhat numb hand, his eyes filled with ruthlessness as he looked at Liu Qinqin.
Fortunately, he never intended to give Zhu Qinghao's job to Liu Qinqin in the first place, and now it has been confirmed that she is not worth his effort.
Thinking of the gentle, considerate, and thoughtful Lu Rou, Liu Yansong's last bit of hesitation vanished instantly when compared one-on-one. He would never give Zhu Qinghao's job to Liu Qinqin again; if he were to give it to someone, it would be to Lu Rou.
Having made up his mind, he gave Liu's parents and Liu Qinqin a cold look, snorted, and left.
For some reason, he had never told his family that Zhu Qinghao had asked him to break off the engagement, and he himself was unwilling to believe it.
Perhaps he secretly harbored some expectations, and Zhu Qinghao was just throwing a tantrum at him.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true, so he couldn't wait to find her and coax her back.
He ran quite a distance before realizing that he seemed to have no idea where to look for Zhu Qinghao.
He had been staking out the Xiang family's door, and Zhu Qinghao hadn't been seen entering or leaving the Xiang family's house for several days.
