“You know very well why Shi Nian invited us to a meal and brought Yun Nan along, Lin Yu, but you still took your two ‘besties’ with you. If you don’t understand that guests shouldn’t bring uninvited partners, then you’ve wasted the fine upbringing your family provided you!” Xi Cheng berated her.
“Not only are you rude, but you also ignored Yun Nan’s existence and tried your best to matchmake Gu Man and Shi Nian. Do you know why Shi Nian didn’t blow up at you? Because I’m his buddy, and he still cares about our friendship! However, I’ll be too ashamed to face him if you keep causing trouble like this.” And with that, Xi Cheng violently threw the glass cup in his hand onto the ground, shattering it to bits.
Lin Yu jumped and screamed in fright. Xi Cheng didn’t spare her a look as he turned around and left.
“What happened?” A housekeeper heard the commotion, came over, and exclaimed. “Are you alright, Miss Lin?”
Lin Yu’s face was pale as she pressed her hand to her wildly beating heart; she couldn’t speak.
Han Yuan and Gu Man rushed over from downstairs when they heard that. Even before she arrived, Gu Man was already shouting, ‘What’s wrong? What’s going on? Lin Yu, did you make Xi Cheng mad again?”

Han Yuan and Gu Man rushed over from downstairs when they heard that. Even before she arrived, Gu Man was already shouting, “What’s wrong? What’s going on? Lin Yu, did you make Xi Cheng mad again?”
Lin Yu’s chest tightened, and she nearly choked on her breath. ‘Some people are worth helping, and some aren’t,’ she inwardly grumbled.
Han Yuan worriedly pulled Lin Yu close and examined her from head to toe. “What’s all this all of a sudden? Are you hurt? What’s wrong with that scoundrel this time?”
Lin Yu’s eyes filled with tears as she softly said, “Auntie, Xi Cheng blames us for getting involved with Shi Nian’s marriage.”
Gu Man looked unhappy and retorted, “What does that have to do with him?”
Lin Yu ignored her and told Han Yuan, “Auntie, Xi Cheng said the one Shi Nian loves is Yun Nan. If we break them up, he and Shi Nian will no longer be buddies. ”
Han Yuan was shocked. “Don’t tell me that Shi Nian really likes this girl?”
Gu Man started to feel anxious. Lin Yu glanced at her before saying, “Auntie, since you’ve already arranged to meet Auntie Xu Yun, why don’t you ask her in person and find out? However, you should get things straight before rashly mentioning anything else to avoid being rude.”
Han Yuan nodded. “Of course.”
She turned around and comforted Gu Man, “It’s okay. If Shi Nian doesn’t like you, there’s still Ye Kun and Liang Han. They’re both good kids with good qualifications. They’re also good matches for you.”
Gu Man pouted. Lin Yu lowered her head and stared at the ground, thinking,
‘ The most important thing right now is to maintain my position as Xi Chengs
—soon-to-be—wife. A goddaughter is still inferior to a daughter-in -law. Han Yuan will side with me if things get rough between me and Gu Man. Since you want to ride roughshod over me, Gu Man, then you can’t blame me for returning the favor.’
Xu Yun had arranged to meet Han Yuan at a clubhouse. They first had a full-body spa, then booked a private room and watched TV while eating fruits. They were watching the second episode of Shi Xiu’s live reality show.
Xu Yun didn’t expect Han Yuan to bring her future daughter-in-law and two goddaughters. However, she didn’t mind; she liked young girls. It was also livelier with more people, so she happily ordered more fruit platters and snacks, and everyone watched the show together.
Han Yuan was just about to exchange a few pleasantries with her when Xu Yun placed her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture. She pointed at the television screen, drawing everyone’s attention to it.
Yun Liu was the host of this episode’s opening speech; she looked quite pretty in casual clothes as she stood before the cameras. “We’ve been busy for a week. Today, I’m here to show everyone the results of our labor. Our work is still ongoing. Come on, follow me, ” she announced to the audience.
She once again showed everyone around the small courtyard. There was a small flower bed in the courtyard already planted with flowers. A large pavilion was set up beside it, and there was a long dining table in the pavilion.
Yun Liu patted the dining table and smiled as she stated, “This is our dining room. We bring the food here to eat after we’re done cooking in the kitchen. We also drink tea, work, and chat here at other times, so this is also our outdoor living room.”
“Look! There are two swings at the entrance. Isn’t it nice? I don’t think there’s any girl who doesn’t like to play on the swings, right? I, for one, like it very much.” Yun Liu’s smile was pure and charming as she shared this with the audience.
“Oh! This girl is quite cute,” Han Yuan commented. She had a good memory; she recalled something about the Yun family’s daughter and turned to ask Xu Yun, “Hey, Xu Yun, this Yun Liu… Is she the one engaged to Shi Nian since they were kids?”
Seeing that her daughter hadn’t appeared on screen yet, Xu Yun speared a piece of mango with her fork and took a bite. When she heard Han Yuan’s question, she shook her head and replied, “No! Those are all rumors! Our Shi Nian isn’t engaged to her! I don’t like girls like her. She’s full of schemes and has a lot of bad qualities and very few good ones.”
Xu Yun always says things as they are. With her status, even if they didn’t like what she said, no one dared to say anything. She would still say the same thing even if Yun Liu stood before her.
When Gu Man heard that, she was overjoyed. ‘ That means Shi Nian isn’t engaged! Yes! Hes not engaged!
The cameras turned and pointed outside the courtyard. Yun Liu’s clear voice said, “That’s our vegetable garden. We’ve already planted all of our vegetables and seedlings.. We’re just waiting to harvest them!”
