Zhang Cuifen, who was initially a bit flustered, immediately turned hostile.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Rou! You're getting married today, whether you like it or not! You have to marry Er Lu!" she snapped. "If you don't marry him, what about your brother? You need to think about what's best for him!"
At these words, Xiao Rou, who was already on the verge of a breakdown, became even more distraught. Without waiting for Zhang Cuifen to say another word, she ran out of the house in tears.
However, Liu Ergou didn't chase after her. He just stood his ground quietly. He knew this was the perfect time to call off the engagement. If Xiao Rou were here, it would only complicate matters.
After Xiao Rou left, Zhang Cuifen was about to go back to happily counting her money when she looked up and saw Liu Ergou still standing there, staring at her expressionlessly. A surge of irritation welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but lash out.
