Chapter 115: The Engagement Isn’t Broken Off

After dinner, Shen Chuning and Zhou Yubai didn’t immediately go home but rode their bicycles to Shen’s house.

Shen Qingsong and Shen Zhengxu were the most worried, now that they had a definite answer, they needed to be informed immediately.

Before reaching Shen’s house, Shen Chuning stopped at He’s house.

She heard He Hui’s desperate cries, “I won’t break it off, I just won’t!

You said a good girl doesn’t marry a divorced man, I’m engaged to Big Brother Shen, if you break it off, I won’t marry anyone, I’ll be an old maid!”

He Guoqiang also lost his temper, “I tell you, this engagement with the Shen family must be broken off! If you want to be an old maid, be one!

Our He family doesn’t need you!”

“Get out of the way!” He Guoqiang’s stern voice came from behind the gate.

Auntie He’s persuasive voice also came, “Little Hui, don’t make a fuss. It’s not us who want to break it off, it’s Big Brother Shen himself.

He’s decided to break it off, why are you still insisting?”

“Why did Big Brother Shen want to break it off, don’t you know? He’s afraid of implicating you!” He Hui’s voice was sharp with emotion.

Shen Chuning was about to knock when she saw Shen Zhengxu come out of Shen’s house.

Shen Zhengxu was also stunned to see Shen Chuning, then frowned slightly, “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come back?”

Shen Chuning was helpless, “Second Brother is fine.”

As soon as Shen Chuning spoke, Shen Zhengxu wanted to scold her, telling her that they were disappointed and she shouldn’t come back.

But as soon as the words reached his throat, he realized what Shen Chuning said.

His worry instantly turned into surprise, “Ningning, what did you say? You said Second Brother…”

“He’s fine.” Shen Chuning said firmly.

“Really?” Shen Zhengxu still couldn’t believe it, he asked Zhou Yubai.

Zhou Yubai nodded, “Really, it’s been cleared up.”

The smile on Shen Zhengxu’s face couldn’t be hidden, he quickly ran to He’s gate, knocking excitedly, “Uncle He, Auntie He, open the door, I have something to say.”

Seeing Big Brother’s expression, Shen Chuning was stunned.

In her memory, Big Brother was always calm, not talkative, and didn’t express emotions outwardly.

Was this excited man still her Big Brother?

In He’s yard.

Auntie He looked at He Guoqiang, “Why is Big Brother Shen here? Did he change his mind?”

“Humph!” He Guoqiang snorted coldly, “Is this engagement a child’s play? He decides to get engaged, he decides to break it off, now he wants to change his mind? Does he think our family is clay, he can mold us as he pleases?”

“Son, when you open the door, throw away the betrothal gifts from the Shen family.” He Guoqiang directly instructed his son.

He Yong looked hesitant, “Dad, this isn’t good! We’re neighbors, we’ve never had a fight. They proposed with sincerity, their family had problems, they wanted to break it off to avoid implicating us.

Now that they’re here, we don’t even ask what happened, we just throw things away, it’ll affect our relationship.”

Auntie He also quickly persuaded, “Yes, old man, you should listen to them first. Otherwise, people will gossip.

Do you want to lose your reputation as the brigade accountant?”

He Guoqiang calmed down, they couldn’t ignore face.

He pointed at He Hui, angrily saying, “I’m confused by this girl.

Open the door. Let Big Brother Shen in first, see what he wants to say.”

The He family’s gate opened, and Shen Zhengxu rushed in.

He Hui’s eyes were swollen like peaches, she gently tugged at Shen Zhengxu’s sleeve, mustering her courage, “Big Brother Shen, don’t break it off, okay? I’m not afraid of being implicated.”

“We won’t break it off.”

Seeing his sweetheart crying, Shen Zhengxu’s heart ached, he quickly responded.

“Cough!” He Guoqiang’s face darkened, he coughed lightly.

“Shen Zhengxu, what do you mean? You decide to break it off, then decide not to, are you playing with our family?”

“Uncle, that’s not what I meant!” Shen Zhengxu quickly waved his hand, trying to explain.

He was too excited after hearing that Second Brother was fine, and forgot to ask about the details.

He didn’t know how to explain.

Shen Chuning was about to help her brother.

But Zhou Yubai stepped into He’s gate first, saying, “Uncle He, you’re wrong. You know why my brother wanted to break it off.

He doesn’t want to break it off because Second Brother’s matter has been cleared up, he’s fine, he won’t implicate you, that’s why he came to say he won’t break it off.”

“Second Brother Shen is fine?”

After Zhou Yubai finished speaking, Auntie He excitedly slapped her thigh, “Oh, I knew Second Brother Shen couldn’t be a spy! This is really scary!”

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces brightening.

Only He Guoqiang still had a stern face, asking Zhou Yubai, “Is Second Brother Shen really fine?”

Zhou Yubai smiled slightly, “Uncle He, you don’t even trust my words?”

He Hui gently tugged at He Guoqiang’s sleeve, “Dad…”

He Guoqiang glanced at his daughter, waving his hand in annoyance, “Forget it, girls grow up and leave home, I don’t care anymore!”

He turned to go back to the house.

He Hui, Shen Zhengxu, and others smiled.

He Guoqiang took two steps, turned around, “The engagement is broken, Shen Zhengxu, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to propose again!”

“Okay, I’ll ask Director Lu and the aunties to propose again.” Shen Zhengxu responded loudly.

Auntie He couldn’t help but scold her husband, “This old man, saying he doesn’t care, but he cares again.”
