She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 45 A Big Trouble for Four People

"Why? I don't believe it. You trusted me so much, how could you just stop loving me like that?"

Gu Yuncheng's reaction was rather strong, as if he intended to get to the bottom of things.

Ji Shuyin turned around and stared at the man in front of her.

"Gu Yuncheng, I've made myself very clear, it's over between us."

I admit, I once thought about having a good future with you.

Even if we don't have a deep emotional connection, I don't think it's a problem. That kind of feeling can be cultivated later.

But you keep hurting me, always saying you'll send me to the frontier.

Now that you've got what you wanted, I'm in the countryside, and I'm no longer afraid of your threats.

At this point, Gu Yuncheng also felt a little wronged and quickly explained.

"Ayin, no, I just don't want you to have such a bad temper."

Those words were just casual remarks; they weren't taken seriously.

"Hmph, then why don't you speak up and say a word of justice when your mother, your eldest sister, your youngest sister, and Tang Weiyu have been using all sorts of tricks to extort money from me and make me grovel and fawn over them?"
Without your tacit approval, would they dare to act so recklessly?

You even forced me to give up my job to Tang Weiyu, and you even gave her the Ji family heirloom, our engagement token.

I haven't wronged you, have I?

Ji Shuyin's words were forceful and resounding, each and every one of them a silent accusation against him.

Gu Yuncheng was speechless, but he had no way to refute it.

“I admit that I was wrong before.”

I had my own considerations, and I thought you would understand me…

Ji Shuyin reached out and interrupted him, her tone becoming much calmer.

"Your so-called considerations are to sacrifice my interests to please everyone around you."

You've shown concern for everyone's feelings, but you've excluded me from it all.

Gu Yuncheng, my parents made me get engaged to you because they hoped you would love me for the rest of your life, not because they wanted me to suffer like this.

Also, I don't care about your thoughts at all.

Regardless of your intentions, the harm I suffered was substantial, and that is completely unforgivable.

I don't want you anymore. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and not bother each other.

A single, resolute sentence was tantamount to a farewell. Gu Yuncheng took a step back, somewhat incredulous.

"I know you were wronged, but I didn't think much about it at the time."

I'm willing to continue this relationship with you, Ah Yin. Please give me another chance, okay?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi'an immediately stood between the two, forcing the scumbag to stay away.

"She said that she has nothing to do with you anymore. Can't you understand human language?"

He could beg Ji Shuyin for forgiveness, but he couldn't stand Jiang Shi'an interfering in the process.

"Get out of my way. I'm talking to my fiancée. What's it to you?"

Both men were on the verge of exchanging blows.

At this point, Huang Chunjing couldn't listen anymore either.

"You have the nerve to say that what Shuyin just said doesn't prove that you and this Tang Zhiqing are having an affair?"

We are all outstanding young people of the new era, capable of taking on responsibilities and letting go of burdens.

Someone of your character is simply not good enough for our Shuyin."

Although Feng Jinghuan didn't say anything, he was on their side.

"Ayin, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Let's start over. Can you give me another chance?
I promise that from now on I will always put you first, and I will keep a certain distance from Weiyu so you won't misunderstand.

Tang Weiyu, who was singled out, was so angry that her teeth itched.

She did so much, yet she's still not as good as Ji Shuyin. This Gu Yuncheng really needs to be taught a lesson!

"No need. I've already said, let's just be strangers from now on."

"Let's go, let's go to the team headquarters first!"

After saying that, she grabbed Huang Chunjing and left. The two boys followed closely behind.

Gu Yuncheng was unwilling to give up and shouted.

"Ayin, I won't give up. I'll show you my sincerity."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuyin pursed her lips but did not turn around.

Belated affection is worthless; she doesn't just accept any trash.

……

The dinner party was simple and quick.

Perhaps because of what happened today, everyone is in a bad mood.

Later that evening, they made arrangements for the newly arrived educated youth.

There were four girls, who happened to live in their dormitory, one of whom was Tang Weiyu.

Huang Chunjing gave her a look, and the two of them went out.

Jiang Shi'an and Feng Jinghuan were also present when they reached the side.

"Shuyin, Tang Weiyu has moved in. You'd better be careful from now on."

After what just happened, she already disliked this girl. She always felt that the girl was gentle and weak, but actually very scheming.

"I know, but there are more important things to do right now."

Ji Shuyin's expression was very serious, and the two men could guess that she was talking about Chen Baosheng.

"It was his problem to begin with, and now he's blatantly coming to cause trouble. Why should we be afraid of him?"

Feng Jinghuan was somewhat disdainful; at the age of seventeen or eighteen, people always imagine the world to be very beautiful.

Ji Shuyin sighed, unsure of what to say to him.

"Perhaps things are not as simple as they seem."

His behavior was so egregious, yet the commune didn't impose any significant punishment.

In the end, it simply fizzled out, which speaks volumes.

The brigade leader had told me before that this person had connections, not only with Captain Wei who came today, but also possibly with others in the county.

My relatives from other provinces are probably not ordinary people either.

"Then we can't let him bully us. If this person dares to come again, we'll fight back."

Jiang Shi'an didn't respond to him, but instead looked at Ji Shuyin.

"Do you have any idea?"

When it comes to the important points, she naturally won't hold back; now everyone's in the same boat.

"Instead of waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative."

Chen Baosheng will absolutely not give up until he gets what he deserves.

Even if we don't go through Captain Wei, just if he secretly sends a few people to cause trouble, it will still be a problem for us.

After all, they had only been here a short time and were unfamiliar with the place and its people.

Even if you get hurt, not many people will care.

Huang Chunjing was also a little worried at this moment, and her tone became anxious.

"What should we do then?"

He even said he wanted to take me back as his wife. Is there no law at all?

Having witnessed the ups and downs of the Ji family in officialdom for decades, she had seen it all.

Sometimes, the law can be completely obscured by self-interest, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Suddenly, Huang Chunjing thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

"I feel that Zhou Chaoyang, who was in the same cohort as us, is quite impressive."

"How about we ask him for help?"
