"How am I supposed to help you? Knock your wife out and drag her back? Quiet down first! Once you've figured out exactly what to do, let her come back. If it really doesn't work, and Zhao Jieyun insists on a divorce, I won't say anything else, after all, you're in the wrong!"

"Dad, I can't get divorced..."

"That's your problem, I need to rest now. You guys head back."

Father Yang knows his father has always been bossy, so he didn't dare speak further. Thinking about Yang Yun's matchmaking, he quickly said, "Dad, is it possible for Yang Yun's match to meet up at our place? The rooms we live in are too small, so it's inconvenient. I hope we can... meet the guy over here."

He just wanted his daughter to have some face, considering that Liao Dongyuan's background is quite good, and it can show how much they value him if the meeting takes place here.

Yang Xiong thought for a long time, then sighed, "Alright, do what you want, I won't stop you from entering our home. But in my heart, I don't think this marriage will work."

"Why? Yang Yun is pretty good."

"Really?" Yang Xiong chuckled. Such a woman is considered pretty good? He simply couldn't sabotage his granddaughter's situation; otherwise, she might truly end up not getting married. If she doesn't get married, the reputations of Sun Chan and Yang Zhen would be affected too. It's really helpless; he just had to bear it and later make up to Sun Chan.

Seeing grandfather was about to go upstairs, Yang Yun quickly said, "Grandfather, I'll keep you company. I haven't stayed at home for several days."

Yang Xiong turned a deaf ear and went straight upstairs.

Yang Yun bit her lip fiercely and strode away. What's so great! Old man, you're now biased towards Sun Chan?

On her way out, she happened to see Yang Zhen's parents coming home together, chatting and laughing with fresh vegetables in their hands. When they saw the father and daughter duo, they quickly greeted them, but Yang Yun walked on with her head held high, without saying a word.

If it weren't for them, I would still be living here. Want me to suck up to them? Dream on!

Father Yang felt helpless and quickly said, "This child... has no manners at all. She quarreled with her grandfather, don't mind her."

"Dad! Are you leaving or what? The food's gone cold." Yang Yun said impatiently.

Luckily, those two people were gentle and didn't mind Yang Yun's rudeness, smiled, greeted him, and went inside.

Yang Zhen's mother laughed, "Yang Yun was truly brought up wrong, but I'm honestly glad."

"What are you talking about?"

"Hmph, the way they bullied my daughter before, do you think I hope for her well-being? I don't care or do anything, just watching the drama is good enough for me."

The husband smiled, thinking, even if you feel that way, you shouldn't say it out loud. Once they got inside, they didn't mention the matter again. They cooked, let the old man come down for the meal, talked a bit about current affairs, and the family got along very happily.

Father Yang took his daughter home, walking along the road, feeling quite uneasy. Ever since Sun Chan was recognized back, the family had been in constant turmoil. Now even his father doesn't seem to approve of his daughter's match?

Yang Yun looks quite alright, and her family is decent too, shouldn't be the case. Anyway, get the eldest daughter married off first; then the family conflicts might ease a bit.

The next morning, Yang Yun took her daughter over for the matchmaking, hoping to settle the matter before Sun Chan finished her exams. It would be inconvenient if Gu Junming found out and caused trouble.

Settle it early, finish it early.

Thus, a matchmaker arranged for them to meet promptly.

Liao Dongyuan originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of Sun Chan missing exams, he wanted to see just what kind of person Yang Yun is, so he agreed.

He entered the large Yang Family residence dressed in military uniform and saw Yang Yun sitting on the sofa.

Today she dressed very beautifully, wearing a pink dress with a yellow belt at the waist, the pink color made her skin seem like snow, and her features were exquisite.

Yang Xiong courteously exchanged a few words with Liao Dongyuan, then said he'd go play chess.

Father Yang chatted with the matchmaker for a bit, discussing the qualifications of both families, which seemed compatible.

Yang Yun sneaked a peek at Liao Dongyuan, who looked very handsome and spirited. Although she ordinarily looked down on soldiers, Liao Dongyuan held a significant position and would later head to Beijing with a promising future. Therefore, she treated him very well.

Liao Dongyuan wasn't someone who made things difficult for women, and he spoke with her for a bit.

Father Yang was secretly pleased, thinking it seemed he didn't dislike her?

The matchmaker winked, and the two quickly left, leaving the space for the young couple.

Liao Dongyuan looked at Yang Yun, who indeed seemed quite attractive, but not as much as Sun Chan. Moreover, recalling what Gu Junming mentioned before made him feel awkward, so it was hard to have a positive impression.

Yang Yun sensed Liao Dongyuan's gaze, felt particularly smug. No matter what, she flaunted her conditions here; surely it will work out.

"By the way, I heard you have a sister?" Liao Dongyuan remarked.

Yang Yun laughed, "Yes, due to some past reasons, she was always raised in the village. You know how rural education and people are, not very good... But, my parents like her, they will educate her well and help her shed some bad habits." Her tone inadvertently hid disdain.

"I heard she refuses to come back and live at home, why? Isn't living harmoniously together as a family nice?" Liao Dongyuan smiled, looking at Yang Yun, "A family of four doesn't seem too many."

Yang Yun's hand clenched tightly, what's there to ask about that bitch!

Feeling restless inside, but outwardly smiling graciously, "She's got herself a boyfriend and it's inconvenient to live at home. You know how many people nowadays are... very open. Gu Junming and she are pretty much set to marry, living together isn't a big deal."

Such words bore a hint of heartlessness.

No matter how society is, Gu Junming is a soldier; previously, someone accused him of misconduct with a widow, nearly costing him his job, forcing him to retire. Now she says not returning home is due to wanting to stay with her boyfriend, cohabiting without marriage, how proper is that? If people at odds with Gu Junming exploit this, it could go bad.

Could a sister say such things?

It wasn't true to begin with, even if it were, it should've been kept hidden, but she went ahead and said it all.

"What's up, you don't believe it? You know Gu Junming, right? He's been with Sun Chan for quite a while now."

"I talked with Gu Junming, and now Sun Chan is staying with his older sister. Others can talk casually, but I think it's inappropriate for you to speak this way, don't you think? If your sister's reputation suffers, it will impact you too; I'm just worried for you."

Yang Yun seethed inside, yet outwardly smiled agreeably, nodding, "Yes, I know, I was just saying casually. We've never lived together anyway, how could it affect me?"
