Jin Shaotang didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went to Chen's house that night.
He was rejected.
Neither Chen Yunzhang nor Chen Tinglan wanted to see him.
Jin Shaotang was distraught.
He leaned against the wall and smoked, the mist being torn into pieces by the wind.
As night fell, the last ray of light was swallowed up, and it gradually began to rain heavily in Yuncheng.
Jin Shaotang is still waiting.
Cold raindrops slapped his face.
His whole person looked extremely embarrassed.
The servant saw it and quickly informed Chen Tinglan.
Chen Tinglan lay on the bed and said helplessly: "Tell him that the engagement has been cancelled, and that's the end of it for me and him. Just let him go."
The servant went and returned a few minutes later, "Miss, I went back as you said, but Mr. Jin still stood outside and refused to leave."
"Then just let him go and don't worry about it."
Chen Tinglan didn't want to be soft-hearted.
He clearly said that apart from providing money for Gu Jiao's medical treatment, he would not care about anything else in the future.
But he broke his promise.
Not only did he break his promise, he also left for Gu Jiao on such an important day as their engagement.
Chen Tinglan didn't want to think about it anymore.
She lay down on the warm quilt and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, a bolt of lightning tore the sky in half, followed by deafening thunder.
Chen Tinglan woke up with a start.
She looked out the window.
It rained outside the window all night long.
Along with the howling wind, Cloud City began to cool down again.
Chen Tinglan dressed and freshened up and went downstairs to eat.
At this time, the servant came over and said, "Miss, Mr. Jin is still waiting outside."
With a clang, the chopsticks fell on the table.
Chen Tinglan's whole body stiffened.
What is he doing? Is he forcing her?
"Miss, why don't you go out and meet Mr. Jin? I see that his face is blue from the cold."
Chen Tinglan's hands couldn't stop trembling.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and her voice became hoarse, "Go and tell him that we will meet you at the same place at two o'clock this afternoon. He will understand."
Jin Shaotang didn't drink any water. He dragged his heavy body and waited for a long time in the wedding room he prepared.
Chen Tinglan came to see him as promised.
Jin Shaotang's voice was hoarse, "You're here."
He stood up and approached her.
Chen Tinglan took a step back and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll only give you twenty minutes."
Her coldness and alienation made Jin Shaotang very uncomfortable.
But he knew that he had made a mistake.
It was natural for her to ignore him.
"Sorry, Tinglan, I didn't mean to leave our engagement party alone." Jin Shaotang explained to her, "Gu Jiao is terminally ill and has been thinking about committing suicide. Someone from the hospital informed me that she committed suicide..."
"Is it useful for you to tell me this?" Chen Tinglan's eyes filled with water, "At the beginning, you promised me not to see Gu Jiao again. Now that she committed suicide and forced you to see her, you did not hesitate. Going there not only ruined the engagement party, but also made my father and I a joke."
Jin Shaotang forced to hug her tightly.
No matter how hard Chen Tinglan struggled, he would not let go.
Just repeating, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Chen Tinglan couldn't break free and could only give up the struggle, "It's useless what you say now. I would rather you be with Gu Jiao than forgive you. You are just a liar who doesn't keep your promise."
Jin Shaotang breathed painfully, "Tinglan, I promise you that this will never happen again. Give me another chance. I want to make it up to you until you forgive me."
Although they didn't know each other for a long time.
But Jin Shaotang wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
He caressed her little face, lowered his head and kissed her.
Chen Tinglan tilted his head.
She resisted his approach.
Jin Shaotang's heart trembled, that kiss finally fell on her cheek.
Chen Tinglan said calmly: "Jin Shaotang, I don't want to believe you anymore. It's impossible for you to be cruel to Gu Jiao, and I don't want to accompany you to struggle in this ambiguous relationship. You should be more flexible so that we can get together and relax." , from now on, marriage will have nothing to do with each other."
Marriage is irrelevant...
Jin Shaotang was deeply hurt.
He refused to agree, "Tinglan, if you trust me again, I will send Gu Jiao abroad and never see her again. We will still be the same as before..."
"It will never be the same again." Chen Tinglan pushed him away.
She was very decisive and didn't say a soft word.
Jin Shaotang couldn't accept this relationship and broke it off.
Anxiously, he grabbed her neck and kissed her lips fiercely.
Chen Tinglan did not hesitate, raised his hand and slapped him, "Mr. Jin, please respect yourself."
Mr. Kim?
Such a strange and alienating name...
Jin Shaotang spoke hoarsely, "Tinglan, I never wanted to give up on you. What should I do so that you can forgive me?"
He grabbed her thin wrist, stubborn and tough.
Chen Tinglan knew that he would not let her go.
She said quietly and perfunctorily, "Didn't you say that you would send Gu Jiao abroad? As long as you send her out, I will consider forgiving you."
I didn’t say forgive, just consider forgiveness.
Jin Shaotang did not hesitate, he agreed, "Okay, I will send Gu Jiao abroad."
As he said that, he gently put his arm around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder, "From now on, if I don't meet Gu Jiao, I'll try my best to make you forgive me, okay?"
Chen Tinglan felt soft-hearted for a moment.
But she thought of how embarrassed she was yesterday, and she held it back.
She said nothing and allowed Jin Shaotang to hold her.

On the afternoon of the 26th, Shen Huaizhou was sitting in the living room, drinking tea and waiting for Zhong Lingyu to come back.
He thought that it was time for Zhong Lingyu to go home at this time.
The waiting was tiring, and Shen Huaizhou was a little anxious.
At this time, Wen Qingyu suddenly came to find him.
The servant opened the door, invited Wen Qingyu in, and made tea for her.
Wen Qingyu handed the documents Jin Shihong asked her to send to Shen Huaizhou.
Then she told him about the engagement party.
Unconsciously, the topic turned to Zhong Lingyu.
Wen Qingyu said: "I saw my sister-in-law."
Her name was Sister-in-law Zhong Lingyu, which sounded very pleasant to Shen Huaizhou.
He took a sip of tea happily, "Really?"
"Yes, she seems to have a good relationship with Jiang Zongrui, the son of Deputy Director Jiang's family. I originally wanted to talk to her, but it turned out that she and Jiang Zongrui were having a good time chatting, so I didn't join in the fun."
After speaking, Wen Qingyu took a sip of tea.
Shen Huaizhou was unhappy, but he didn't show it, "She and Jiang Zongrui were friends before... By the way, how are you and Huang Yilin doing now?"
"He is already preparing to propose marriage." Wen Qingyu said with joy in his voice.
"That's good. You're not young anymore, and you should be old enough to get married." Shen Huaizhou said nonchalantly.
Wen Qingyu sat for a while and then left.
Not long after she left, Zhong Lingyu also came back.
As soon as he walked into the living room and saw Shen Huaizhou's expression, Zhong Lingyu noticed his unhappiness.
