Zhou Yu waited for Yun Yanlan's second sentence for a long time, thinking she was just acting on a whim.
It was just a casual phone call.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to hang up.
Yun Yanlan spoke.
"I heard you were forced into marriage by the Zhu family this time?"
Only then did Zhou Yu understand why Yun Yanlan had called him foolish earlier!
So it was because he had fled from Jiangnan City in a panic!
Zhou Yu said dejectedly, "It's not really that. It's just that Zhu Ling'er couldn't bear it and was willing to be a concubine to marry me."
"This scared me, so I ran away quickly!"
*Pfft*—
Yun Yanlan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even though it was over the phone, Yun Yanlan could imagine Zhou Yu's dejected look!
However, that girl from the Zhu family was indeed persistent.
Yun Yanlan had just received news that Zhu Ling'er was already on her way to Yunhai City!
Now, Yun Yanlan mischievously wondered what would happen if she revealed Zhou Yu's address to Zhu Ling'er?
Of course.
Yun Yanlan was only thinking about it.
If she were to actually reveal the address to Zhu Ling'er, wouldn't that be matchmaking them?
Yun Yanlan was not that generous!
"Aunt Lan, what did you call me for?"
Zhou Yu asked dejectedly. Could it be that she just called to mock him!
Yun Yanlan suppressed her laughter and lazily said, "Who told you not to report your safety to me when you returned to Yunhai City."
"Alright, since the matter in Jiangnan City is resolved, you should stay in Yunhai City for now."
"You'll probably have a headache!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was about to ask what headache she was referring to.
Who knew that Yun Yanlan had already hung up the phone!
This deviless...
She was truly unpredictable!
And she only spoke halfway!
Zhou Yu flipped through his phone, confirming there were no other messages.
Then he rolled over and went to sleep.
The next day.
Crisp birdsong drifted from outside the villa.
Zhou Yu looked up and saw that the sky was still dimly lit.
A thin wisp of purple energy enveloped the horizon.
Immediately, Zhou Yu steadied his mind and sat down cross-legged.
He circulated the true qi within his body and began to cycle it!
Once, twice, thrice...
As the true qi circulated within his body.
Zhou Yu felt a sense of immense comfort!
If someone were present at this moment, they would be astonished to find that the purple energy in the sky was being absorbed into Zhou Yu's body along with the circulation of his true qi!
Who knows how long it took.
Zhou Yu opened his eyes, and a purple light flashed within his pupils.
But it quickly retracted, becoming invisible again.
"Today seems unusually smooth," Zhou Yu rubbed his neck and stood up to wash.
He had to go to the Su family today to find Su Yuyan.
After the incident with Zhu Ling'er, Zhou Yu deeply realized.
The matter of breaking off the engagement had to be put on the agenda!
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to encounter any problems in the future.
Just thinking about it, if Zhou Yu had eight tails chasing him to marry him in the future.
The scene would be too terrifying!
After washing up, Zhou Yu habitually took out his phone, intending to send a text message to Su Yuyan.
Who knew that Su Yuyan's call came through!
"Zhou Yu!"
"What did you do in Jiangnan City!"
Su Yuyan's opening was an interrogation, and she even sounded wronged!
Zhou Yu was startled and quickly said, "I went to treat Old Master Xie's illness. Yuyan, what's wrong?"
Su Yuyan's voice was choked with tears. Upon hearing this, the sound of sobbing directly came through.
She choked out, "This morning, a woman came to the door, claiming to be your fiancée!"
"And she said... she said you had already agreed in Jiangnan City!"
Zhou Yu was stunned.
Where did this fiancée come from?
Zhou Yu couldn't help but think of Zhu Ling'er!
Although he didn't know how Zhu Ling'er found the Su family.
Zhou Yu knew that if he didn't go over quickly, he might really end up with another fiancée!
"Wait for me at home."
With that, Zhou Yu immediately grabbed his car keys and walked out.
At the Su family's residence.
Su Yuyan watched the phone hang up, raised her head, and looked at Zhu Ling'er with a complicated expression.
Tears still lingered in her eyes!
"Don't be sad. A man like Doctor Zhou will surely have more than one woman in the future. You have to get used to it in advance."
Zhu Ling'er said calmly.
Ever since Zhou Yu mentioned that he had more than one engagement,
Zhu Ling'er had been thinking.
Besides herself and Su Yuyan, who else was there?
This was not a secret, a little inquiry would reveal it.
In Yunhai City, besides Su Yuyan, there was Zhao Ruyue!
This was why Zhu Ling'er was so determined to come to Yunhai City.
The moment she saw Su Yuyan, Zhu Ling'er couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness.
This woman in front of her was Zhou Yu's first wife!
If they had met a little earlier...
Su Yuyan clenched her fingers and didn't speak, just let out a hum.
She knew, of course!
Before this, Su Yuyan had already had a premonition.
But Su Yuyan still held onto a sliver of hope.
After all...
Zhou Yu's attitude towards these engagements was one of resistance.
Perhaps she could truly have Zhou Yu all to herself?
With such thoughts, when Zhu Ling'er appeared, Su Yuyan couldn't control her emotions.
Now that Zhou Yu was coming.
Su Yuyan would just wait!
She wiped away her tears and said, "I don't have much to entertain Miss Zhu with. Have some tea."
"Zhou Yu will be here soon, and he will tell you who is right and who is wrong then."
After saying that, Su Yuyan left.
She was afraid that if she didn't leave, Zhu Ling'er would see the bitterness in her heart!
Little did she know.
Zhu Ling'er, being as sharp as she was, had already noticed.
Her first approach to Su Yuyan also had its own considerations.
Now, seeing Su Yuyan's reaction upon meeting her.
Zhu Ling'er became even more certain of her own guess!
Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan only had the name of husband and wife, but no marital substance at all.
Otherwise, why wouldn't Zhou Yu live with Su Yuyan when he returned to Yunhai City?
Moreover.
If the two had already reached that stage, why would Su Yuyan be afraid of her appearance?
It was likely just a contractual marriage between them!
This discovery made Zhu Ling'er breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan were not yet truly husband and wife.
It meant she still had a chance.
Zhu Ling'er calmly sat in the Su family's living room, sipping tea.
About twenty minutes later.
Zhou Yu's car stopped at the entrance of the Su family's residence.
Immediately after, Su Yuyan heard the noise and rushed out to greet him.
Upon meeting.
Su Yuyan said with a complicated expression, "Zhou Yu, did you..."
"It's nothing. I rejected her at the time," Zhou Yu said firmly and decisively.
Su Yuyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew how their marriage certificate came about.
Zhou Yu had no reason to lie to her in this regard.
Rejection meant rejection!
This showed that Zhou Yu truly had no intentions towards Zhu Ling'er!
