Chapter 5

“Mom, can you please stop talking about money?” The thing Yuan Qing’an least wanted to talk about now was money. Xu Zhihuan was using money to “force” him to get married. Whenever he thought about marrying someone he didn’t like for the rest of his life, Yuan Qing’an got a severe headache.

“In today’s world, you can’t get anywhere without money.” Zhu Guiyun thought he had become stupid just by staying in the army!

“Ahem, shut up!” Yuan’s father was scolding Zhu Guiyun. What money? Was that the key point? The key point was that his son had let Zhihuan down, and he had to apologize to her!

Seeing that he was coughing so badly, Zhu Guiyun sighed helplessly, “Don’t be angry, take care of yourself.”

“Cough cough, sooner or later I will be pissed to death by this bastard!” Father Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. His emotions calmed down a little and he stopped coughing.

“If our son is a bastard, then what are you?” Zhu Guiyun was unhappy to hear Old Yuan scolding his son.

What are your own children scolding?!

Besides, “Xu Zhihuan is obviously uneducated. He said this about our son in front of so many people in the military district family compound. Qing’an is now a company commander after all. Does he still want to save face? If it affects our son’s promotion to battalion commander or regiment commander, I will have to settle the score with the Xu family!”

“You!” Yuan’s father pushed Zhu Guiyun away and was about to scold her. Yuan Qing’an couldn’t stand it anymore, so he stood up and walked out. “I’m going to the dormitory tonight!” He wanted to be alone.

The news of Yuan Qing’an and Xu Zhihuan’s broken engagement had already spread throughout the entire military region.

As soon as Yuan Qing’an entered the dormitory, the originally lively room suddenly became quiet.

The other three people stared at Yuan Qingan——

Yuan Qing’an noticed the marriage application on the bed and was stunned for a moment. He thought the application was approved, but in the end he saw nothing. What does this mean?

Thinking of this, Yuan Qing’an subconsciously wanted to find the team leader to ask for clarification, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

“Captain Yuan, your marriage application has been withdrawn.”

“Why? What materials am I missing?” Yuan Qing’an asked back.

“There’s nothing missing. Comrade Xu wanted to cancel the engagement and withdraw it.”

“…” Great! Xu Zhihuan really did something amazing this time.

All the marriage applications were withdrawn one after another! Yuan Qingan crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it hard!

“…”Xu Zhihuan, you better not regret it!!

——

The next morning,

Military district family compound.

Xu Guoqiang explained his purpose. Yuan Heping, who was lying on the bed, began to cough excitedly. “Ahem, Old Xu, I’m sorry. I promise you, Yuan Qing’an will definitely treat Zhihuan well in the future. If he dares to bully Zhihuan again, I won’t forgive him! It’s not easy for the two children to get to this point. I also know Zhihuan is angry right now. Ahem, we can’t cancel the engagement.”

Zhu Guiyun nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, Zhihuan is quite impulsive. If there is anything, can’t we just sit down and talk it out? Why do we have to make it known to everyone? Qing’an is going to be a leader in the future, and it won’t be a good influence on him.”

Their own son did such a shameless thing, and as a parent, not only did they not know how to teach him a lesson, but their minds were also filled with their son’s future? Ha! And they were also concerned about their daughter’s grievances?!

Wang Wanjun said unhappily, “We are here today to officially tell you that this engagement is off!”

Xu Guoqiang straightened his back and said, “Old Yuan, if it weren’t for your sake, I would have given your son a good beating. My daughter has never suffered such injustice since she was a child. You don’t have to be angry. Maybe our two families are not destined to be together.”

“Old Xu, ahem, no, it’s not like this. You, please think about it again.” Yuan Heping tried hard to say nice things to save the situation, but his health was not good enough.

Zhu Guiyun saw that the Xu family was determined to cancel the engagement, so she thought, forget it, it won’t work out.

“Your daughter has already moved all her dowry away. Don’t bother our family again in the future.”

“Besides, when my son becomes a leader in the future, you will regret it.”

“What’s so good about your daughter? She’s so spoiled! If this happened twenty years ago, I don’t know what punishment she would have received!”

“Your daughter is so lucky that my son likes her. Your family is in trouble.”

Zhu Guiyun is not forgiving with her words and will get back the advantage no matter what!

Wang Wanjun was furious. She pointed at Zhu Guiyun’s nose and called her “you” for a long time. In the end, she just said, “Your son is greedy and has a bad character!”

When it comes to swearing, she can never be as good as Zhu Guiyun.

Xu Guoqiang couldn’t stand it any longer and slapped him!

With a “bang”, Zhu Guiyun was dumbfounded.

“Old Yuan, you know me well. I have a bad temper and I’m very protective of my children. Since you’re still sick, I’ll teach you a lesson! It’s a good thing it’s me. If it were someone else, your mouth would have been slapped to pieces!” Xu Guoqiang shook his palm. He had used all his strength in this slap, and it hurt his hand.

Yuan Heping looked so unhappy that he was speechless.

Zhu Guiyun and others reacted and shouted to rush forward to teach Xu Guoqiang a lesson.

This bastard actually dared to hit her!

Xu Guoqiang protected his wife and took two steps back, pointing at Zhu Guiyun’s nose as a warning.

“I advise you to think it over carefully. You are no match for me. I just slapped you as a warning. If you dare to say anything bad about my daughter again, it will be more than just a slap!”

Xu Guoqiang snorted coldly, “I just said it clearly, let’s part ways amicably.”

Zhu Guiyun had no help, so she naturally knew that she was no match for Xu Guoqiang, and the slap she had just received was in vain.

“Your daughter is”

Zhu Guiyun had not yet finished what she was saying. Seeing Xu Guoqiang’s ferocious look, she dared not say anything more.

“Alright! Let’s cancel the engagement!” Yuan Heping sighed, “Old Xu, I’m the one who has let you down after all.”

Xu Guoqiang said nothing more, turned around and left with Wang Wanjun.

The marriage was called off.

Zhu Guiyun was not convinced and blamed Yuan Heping for being cowardly.

“Since this marriage can’t be completed, why are you still afraid of him? As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before beating the dog. Others have bullied your wife, and you, a coward, don’t know how to protect me!”

Yuan Heping took a deep breath and said, “If you don’t change your bad mouth, someone will tear your mouth off sooner or later—”

If Zhu Guiyun doesn’t listen, he is a coward!

“Our son is far worse than you.”

Zhu Guiyun started to cry.

Yuan Heping was upset by her noise and said, “Get out of here and cry.”

“I won’t leave. This is my home. It’s the house assigned to my son by the military. If anyone wants to leave, it should be you, a loser!”

“…”

This life is really unbearable!

The Xu couple still looked unhappy as they walked out of the family compound. Wang Wanjun snorted, “It’s a good thing this marriage didn’t happen. Look at what kind of people these are! If our daughter really married into this family, she would have been bullied by this mother-in-law.”

“Okay, there’s no need to be angry. Be careful not to get too angry and harm your health.” Xu Guoqiang was angry himself, but he coaxed Wang Wanjun in a gentle voice, “Don’t mention this matter again when you go back.”

Wang Wanjun muttered, “I know.” She didn’t need him to tell her.

“As pretty as you are, there are plenty of good men in this world!”

As soon as Xu Guoqiang finished speaking, he saw a typical good man walking towards them.
