At this time, it was precisely the moment for family members to deliver meals, so a crowd quickly gathered.
Lyu Juncheng initially didn’t notice Yu Xinyan; he only saw her when Yao Hui ran forward and caught his attention.
He knew Yao Hui’s temperament too well, but by the time he reacted to call her back, it was already too late.
He raised his hand to his forehead, wondering which deity he had offended to end up entangled with such a foolish woman as Yao Hui.
If you want to make trouble, at least pick the right time and place. He felt like he was on the verge of going crazy.
Onlookers were pointing and talking about them, and he really felt he couldn’t stay any longer. He intended to turn and leave, but was afraid Yao Hui would cause more trouble, so he reluctantly stepped forward, grabbed her, and hissed through clenched teeth, "Stop embarrassing yourself here."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yu Xinyan. That woman showed no discomfort; her eyes were full of disdain and sarcasm. This only made him even more furious, cursing in his heart, "Yu Xinyan, you better watch out."
Yao Hui’s rationality returned at this point. Blinded by anger, she forgot this was in front of a staff hospital with people coming and going, and once again, that damned wretch got the upper hand, making her furious.
Lyu Juncheng pulled her far away, but he could still hear others’ gossip. He truly wished to stay as far away from Yao Hui as possible.
Yao Hui also knew she acted on impulse just now, "Jun Cheng, no matter what, we’re in the same boat. Whether you have grievances against me or hate me, the fact that we’re getting married is set in stone, and you can’t avoid it."
After glancing around, she whispered, "Besides, I’m already your woman, and I might even be carrying your child. Even if Mom is hard on you, isn’t it just because she was blinded by anger?
In the end, it’s all because I like you and want to be with you, that’s why I did those things. Even if I was wrong and you hate me, it’s better than marrying someone who doesn’t care about you, isn’t it? Do you really have to hurt me like this?"
Lyu Juncheng had gathered the two hundred yuan beforehand, left work early, and went to deliver the money to the Yao Family. But unexpectedly, his mother-in-law accepted the money, yet insisted on holding eight tables at the cafeteria over the weekend. If he didn’t agree, he could forget about the marriage certificate.
He was truly angry. It wasn’t that he was insisting on marrying Yao Hui. If it weren’t for the director urging him to quickly resolve the issue, he wouldn’t have been so eager.
If it weren’t for being manipulated by her, how could he end up so humiliated?
But what’s done is done, and the only path before him now is to marry Yao Hui, unless he doesn’t want this job.
However, the Yao Family repeatedly making excessive demands left him unable to bear it anymore: "Stop saying these things to me. You brought this upon yourself. I am clearly the victim here. You really don’t know that?"
Yao Hui said pitifully, "Is there any use in dwelling on these things now? Isn’t Mom just doing this because she doesn’t want anyone to look down on me, or fear that you don’t care about me? Can you not sympathize even a little?"
Lyu Juncheng was infuriated by this: "You keep saying you like me, but have you ever empathized with me? When your family forced me to come up with two hundred yuan, why didn’t you say anything? When your mom made me add another three tables, why were you silent? Is that what you call love?"
Tears fell from Yao Hui’s eyes: "You can’t be so heartless. I’ve given up my reputation for you, how can you treat me like this?"
Lyu Juncheng noticed some people looking over, worried Yao Hui might go crazy again. He had had enough of people’s gossip over the past few days, so he could only suppress his urge to lose his temper and tried to calm Yao Hui down.
