Chu Yunli ducked aside and prepared to go upstairs.
But Wen Hui stood in front of her, unwilling to give up, "If Mr. Wu breaks off the engagement, it will be bad for you and him, so why do you want to retreat?"
Chu Yunli pointed to the red and swollen forehead that had the gauze removed, "He pushed me like this for other women. I don't want the man who attacks women first. What's more, today he did it for other women."
If a woman can push me, there is no guarantee that he will not harm me for other women. I am a person who cherishes my life, but I dare not marry him."
Wen Hui was speechless, and Chu Yunli looked at the waiter beside him.
The waiter understood instantly, smiled and said to Wen Hui, "Miss Wen, the food in your room is ready."
Wen Hui snorted coldly, "Without Mr. Wu, what kind of person can you find?"
In her eyes, Wu Ming was the best in the world. Chu Yunli was too lazy to talk to her. If he continued to struggle with her, he would not be able to eat, and it would also affect his mood.
The two of them went upstairs one after another. Zhou Mingxuan was a frequent visitor here. As long as it was not full, the private rooms she often visited were basically reserved.
Soon, tea, snacks and food were all served on the table. Chu Yunli started eating happily. Chun Yu also took some to eat on the small table next to her. Everyone is equal and so on. This does not exist in Qiguo. She
Don’t force it anymore.
In fact, the food in the restaurant is similar to most of the meals cooked by the chefs of the Zhou family, but the roast chicken in the restaurant is something that the Zhou family cannot make. After Chu Yunli tasted it, he told Chun Yu, "Buy a roast chicken and send it to my father."
."
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, Chun Yu went over and opened it, and standing outside the door was Wu Ming, wearing a green gown, a folding fan in his hand, and a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, "Ming Xuan, I knew you would come here.
"With a helpless smile in his tone, he was about to step through the door as he spoke.
Chu Yunli raised her hand, stopped his movement, and looked at Chun Yu, "Call the guy over, why are you having a meal and someone comes to disturb you?"
Chunyu didn't move, because these words were clearly meant for Wu Ming. If he came in again, people would drive him out.
Wu Ming was originally a handsome young man. When he heard this, his face turned ugly. A look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. He endured it and said, "Mingxuan, it's been so many days, why are you still angry with me? Why don't you beat me up to calm down?"
Chu Yunli looked him up and down, feeling a little excited and her hands itching.
"Mr. Wu." A surprised female voice sounded outside the door. Needless to say, everyone knew it was Miss Wen.
Wu Ming turned around, with an expression on his face, and bowed gently, "Miss Wen, are you here to eat too?"
Wen Hui stepped forward with a smile and looked at his eyes brightly, "Yes, it's such a coincidence."
Wu Ming took a small step back without leaving any trace.
His movement fell into Chu Yunli's eyes. She smiled and winked at Chun Yu, "Close the door."
Chunyu and Zhou Mingxuan grew up together. When they made an engagement, Wu Ming's reputation was there. She was also very happy for her girl, but after two months of getting along, she found that it was not the case at all. She was
As a maid, she was very sensitive to people's emotions. Wu Ming seemed gentle, but in fact he looked down on them. Even towards Zhou Mingxuan, he was vaguely impatient, but not so obvious.
Therefore, Chunyu didn't like Wu Ming. The master seemed to be disgusted with him these days. She was actually very happy. When she heard the master's instructions, she got up and raised her hand to close the door without hesitation.
Seeing Wu Ming reaching out to stop her, she paused slightly and then slammed the door shut.
This action fell into Chu Yunli's eyes, and before he could react, Wu Ming's cry of pain came in.
With hands holding it, the door naturally couldn't be closed. Chun Yu looked anxious, "Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, why did you reach over when you saw me closing the door?"
In a few words, he apologized and placed the blame on Wu Ming.
Wu Ming's hand hurt and he became irritable, "I have something to talk to your girl about."
Outside, Wen Hui had already anxiously asked the waiter to call the doctor. She was the closest to Wu Ming and wanted to reach out but didn't dare. She was so anxious that she turned around and cursed at Chun Yu, "You girl, you are so impatient in doing things."
, If Mr. Wu’s writing hand is really injured, I won’t be able to afford the compensation if I kill you.”
Chu Yunli didn't like hearing these words. No matter how she made a mistake, Chunyu was still her girl. It wasn't Wen Hui's turn to scold her. "Miss Wen is so angry. Mr. Wu, as a sufferer, hasn't spoken yet, but you are
I'm sorry for him. I don't know, I thought you two..."
Chu Yunli's meaningful gaze swept across the two of them. Wen Hui blushed and lowered her head in her gaze, and then continued to say insincerely, "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry for you, but Chunyu always does things appropriately.
, why did you reach out?"
Wu Ming was a little anxious and didn't bother to argue with her, "I have something to discuss with you."
There was a lot of commotion here. There was a gathering in Huanxi Town today, and it was also the busiest time in the restaurant. In a short while, many people had come to watch.
Wu Ming frowned and added, "It's about our marriage."
The hidden meaning is probably that I still want to talk to her alone.
Chu Yunli was not in such a mood and had already called off the engagement. She was not in the mood to be clingy with him. She said calmly, "The engagement has been called off. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. We can't tell anyone anything, and there are differences between men and women."
, Mr. Wu, if you have something to say, just say it directly."
Everyone gathered around and started talking. Wu Ming felt a little embarrassed, but there were some things that had to be said. In the past few days, many people in Sannan Village had been collecting debts from their mother and son. Especially after Wu's mother pushed and pushed again and again, she originally thought they could.
Several families that were still able to repay the money could no longer sit still. They had agreed to pay back the money when Miss Zhou came in. Now that the marriage has failed, they have to rely on Wu's mother's thin body and Wu Ming's hand that can only hold a pen.
, when the Year of the Monkey and the Horse are gone, when it comes to money, Wu Ming's status as a scholar is not enough at this time, and everyone said that if he doesn't pay back the money, he will go to the mayor for comment.
He was going to take the county examination, and his reputation as a scholar was the most important thing. Naturally, he couldn't make such unpleasant remarks, so he had to find Zhou Mingxuan. There happened to be a meeting today, and he knew some of her habits, so it would be easy to find someone.
I originally thought that she might still have some affection for him. After all, the feelings she had when she married Feijun were not fake. Things might not be that bad, but now it seems... this woman clearly wants to give him love in front of everyone.
Embarrassing!
In this case, don't blame him for being rude.
He stopped his smile and asked seriously, "Miss Zhou, our marriage has been canceled and the marriage certificate has been returned. Why don't you see the Zhou family returning all the betrothal gifts that my Wu family sent me that day? This is against the rules."
Chu Yunli really didn't know about this, so Chun Yu whispered beside her, "I heard about this, and the master told Matchmaker Li that those are the compensation for the girl's injury."
Chu Yunli suddenly realized that she was happy to be able to make Wu Ming unhappy. She pointed at her forehead and said, "That's my medicine fee, or Mr. Wu thinks that I don't need to compensate for the injury. It seems that you haven't apologized to me yet."
?Is this what scholars learn?"
Wu Ming's face became cautious. The Zhou family was unwilling to return the betrothal gift, and the reason was barely tenable. He had no hope from Zhou's father. He thought that the usually generous Chu Yunli would not care about the money, and there were so many people.
If she was questioned by him in front of her, she might relent in anger and repay him. As long as she relents, given the Zhou family's status in Huanxi Town and Zhou's father's pampering attitude toward her, she should be able to get the money.
After all, he still didn't believe that Zhou Mingxuan, who would not marry him, had treated him like a stranger in just a few days.
He thought for a few times and softened his expression, "I'm sorry for you, and you should apologize. It's just that the money is nothing to the Zhou family, but it is a lot of money to my Wu family. My family is poor.
, my mother worked hard for me to study..."
The people listening around felt that it made sense and nodded frequently.
But Chu Yunli refused to give in, "Since you admit that you caused me to be injured, you still ask me for money? It makes no sense that if your family is poor, you don't need to compensate. Your money is important, but my forehead is not important? If I get knocked stupid, who will compensate me?
Dad has a daughter?"
What she said makes sense.
People around him didn't dare to interrupt, so they only talked in low voices.
"You only know how to make money!" Wen Hui couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "As for feelings, you liked Mr. Wu so much at the beginning that you forced your father to get engaged to him, and now you have made such a fuss just for some money. Looking back in the future, you
You won’t regret it?”
"I don't regret it!" Chu Yunli said in a serious tone, looking at the crowd blocking the door, he said sternly, "He caused me to get hurt. No matter how much I have feelings for him, they have already been wiped out. The marriage contract has been withdrawn, and Mr. Wu has hurt me."
My injury has been compensated, and he and I will have nothing to do with each other in the future!"
As soon as the words "irrelevant" came out of his mouth, Chu Yunli felt his heart suddenly relax and his whole body felt much more relaxed. After all, he thought that was what he wanted to say.
Wen Hui was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes flashed with joy. So many people had heard her words, and they might not be able to look back in the future.
There were so many people noisy, but fortunately they had almost eaten before, and the roast chicken for Zhou's father had been packed. Chu Yunli simply stood up and said goodbye to everyone and went downstairs.
After leaving the restaurant gate, several women in common clothes saw her coming down and seemed to be talking in a low voice.
Chu Yunli felt something was wrong. Women from the village who were just waiting around at the restaurant usually wouldn't come over. She didn't care and got on the carriage.
The carriage left slowly, and in the turmoil the curtains showed a gap. Wu Ming was just in time to see Wu Ming walking out of the restaurant, and the women gathered around him.
She suddenly realized that in her previous life, Zhou Mingxuan had helped the Wu family pay off their debts. These women looked very familiar and they were clearly debt collectors. She was worried and chased them to a restaurant in the town. She immediately felt better.
The Zhou family's rouge shop was very close to the restaurant. When the shopkeeper saw it was her, he came over with a smile and said, "The girl is here. Just now, the master asked my cousin about you."
Is Shen Qiuyan coming here?
"Where is she?" Chu Yunli asked casually.
The shopkeeper smiled and took the food box from Chun Yu's hand and led her in. "The master sent someone to send her back. He also told her not to go out recently and prepare for the wedding."
