Su Jinyue folded the letter and placed it back in the wooden box. Picking up the porcelain bottle in the wooden box, she opened it and took a whiff. “This pill smells quite fragrant, I wonder what it does.”

“Master, go ahead and try one pill,” Little Elf suggested.

Su Jinyue tilted her head up and glanced at the hole above. She put the lid of the porcelain bottle back on and placed the bottle back in the wooden box. “Let’s talk about it when we get back.” It was already dawn, and today was the day that Yihan was going to bring up the proposal of marriage to Teacher. She had to hurry back quickly.

She took off her jacket and placed the small wooden box on it. Then, she rolled the jacket into a bag and carried it on her back. Su Jinyue stepped forward to climb up the cave wall and she slowly crawled towards the hole above. Fortunately, this cave was not too deep, otherwise it would be too difficult for her to climb up.

Zhan Yihan and his parents arrived at the clinic with the betrothal gifts. They were surprised to see Xu Tiansheng sitting there with a worried frown.

The three of them looked at each other. Wang Meizhen then stepped forward and said with a smile, “Dr. Xu, we are here to propose marriage to Dr. Su. Where is Dr. Su?”

Xu Tiansheng sighed and shook his head. He really didn’t know what to say. He did not see Jinyue when he got up in the morning, so he asked Yiren where Jinyue had gone. Yiren said that Jinyue told her last night that she did not want to get engaged to Zhan Yihan, so she ran away from home.?How can Jinyue be so willful!

“Aunty Zhan, don’t ask Teacher anymore. Jinyue left.” Song Yiren walked out from inside. Her face was a little pale, and she did not seem energetic. It was obvious that she did not get a good rest last night.

“What’s the matter?” Zhan Yihan asked with a frown.?Jinyue had already agreed to marry him, so why would she leave?

“Dr. Song, hurry up and tell me. What’s going on?” Wang Meizhen looked at Song Yiren anxiously.?Didn’t Yihan say that Dr. Su made a promise to him, so why did she leave?

Song Yiren let out a long sigh before slowly opening her mouth and said, “Jinyue approached me last night. She told me that she thought about it for a long time and decided not to marry Big Brother Zhan. She said she was going to leave Shangxin Village and go to a big city to make her way in the world and that she would marry someone from the city in the future. I tried to persuade her for a long time, but she refused to listen. I got up in the morning only to find out that she really left.”?Anyway, Su Jinyue has already rolled down the mountain. Even if they did not believe her, they would not be able to find Su Jinyue.

“You’re lying!” Zhan Yihan said coldly. He firmly believed that Jinyue was not someone like that.

“Big Brother Zhan, I’m telling the truth. Why would I lie to you? Besides, Jinyue and I are sisters, how could I possibly fabricate a lie to slander her?” Song Yiren looked at Zhan Yihan with grievances written all over her face.

“I don’t believe you!” Zhan Yihan said solemnly. He knew exactly what kind of person Jinyue was. She would never leave without saying anything.

“I can’t do anything even if you don’t believe me. But Jinyue really left. I even have a letter that she left behind.” Song Yiren fished out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Zhan Yihan. She and Su Jinyue had grown up together since they were young. She could imitate Su Jinyue’s handwriting to perfection, such that even Teacher could not differentiate between them.

Zhan Yihan took the letter from her. He opened it and began reading.

Yihan:

I’m sorry! I’m leaving. I thought about it for a long time and I think that we’re not compatible. When I made a promise to you back then, it was probably a moment of impulse. I’m really sorry for the trouble I caused you!

I won’t be returning to Shangxin Village in the future. You don’t have to wait for me anymore. Goodbye! Take care!

“Let me take a look.” Wang Meizhen snatched the letter from him and looked at it. She then handed it to Zhan Dafeng, who was beside her. “Read it out to me.” In her moment of panic, she had forgotten that she was illiterate.

After reading the letter, Zhan Dafeng shook his head and sighed.

“What did she write? Tell me. It’s making me so anxious,” Wang Meizhen said anxiously.

“She said she won’t be coming back, so she asked Yihan not to wait for her,” Zhan Dafeng summarised it for her. He used to think that Dr. Su was quite a nice person, but after this incident, his opinion of her had completely changed.

When Wang Meizhen heard this, she could no longer suppress her rage and shouted, “Our Yihan doesn’t care! Come, let’s go home!” There are so many nice girls in this world. Who does Su Jinyue think she is? Does she think she’s the only one for Yihan?

“This letter is not written by her.” Zhan Yihan’s gaze, as he looked at Song Yiren, was as cold as ice.

Song Yiren gulped and did not quite dare to meet Zhan Yihan’s eyes. However, she was afraid that if she appeared evasive, Zhan Yihan would think that she had a guilty conscience. Thus, she could only bite the bullet and meet Zhan Yihan’s eyes. “This is really Jinyue’s handwriting. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my teacher.”?Why is Big Brother Zhan so sure that this letter was not written by Jinyue? Did he find some loopholes? But I don’t think I gave anything away.

Xu Tiansheng nodded and admitted, “It is Jinyue’s handwriting.” He had also read that letter, and the handwriting on it was indeed Jinyue’s.

Zhan Yihan continued staring at Song Yiren, his gaze turning increasingly cold.

Zhan Yihan’s gaze made Song Yiren slightly flustered and she said, “Big Brother Zhan, why are you looking at me like that? I really didn’t lie to you.”

“Did you really not lie?” Su Jinyue’s voice rang out from the door.

Song Yiren was startled and looked at Su Jinyue in disbelief.?Why is she back? Didn’t she roll down the mountain slope?

The corners of Zhan Yihan’s mouth turned up slightly and he turned around to look at Su Jinyue. “Are you okay?” He knew that she would not leave. If she really left, she would definitely not just leave a letter only for him and not leave one for Dr. Xu.

Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, walked to Song Yiren, and looked at her mockingly. “Are you disappointed that I came back?” She wanted to see how Song Yiren responded.

“Wh-what are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Song Yiren acted dumb.?That good-for-nothing can’t even handle a small matter properly.

“What’s going on?” Wang Meizhen looked at Su Jinyue in surprise.

“Jinyue, where have you been?” Xu Tiansheng also had a bewildered expression on his face.

“Didn’t Yiren tell you guys?” Su Jinyue smiled and looked at everyone. Although she did not hear what Song Yiren said, she could make a guess. Song Yiren must have said something along the lines of how she had realised that she and Yihan were not compatible, so she ran away from home.

Xu Tiansheng’s brows furrowed as he looked at Song Yiren.?Looks like Yiren is lying. But the handwriting on the letter is clearly Jinyue’s handwriting.

“Didn’t you leave a letter and run away from home? Look, the letter is still here.” Wang Meizhen took the letter in Zhan Dafeng’s hand and handed it to Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue took the letter and read it. She then said, “I didn’t write this letter.”

“Jinyue, how could you get me in trouble like this? How have I offended you for you to treat me like this. We grew up together and our relationship is like that of sisters.” Song Yiren looked at Su Jinyue and cried as if she had been falsely accused.

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Yiren contemptuously. “How did I get you in trouble?” She wanted to see how Song Yiren would act.

“You clearly told me last night that you don’t like Big Brother Zhan, and that you don’t want to be married to him. You even left this letter behind and passed it to me. Turns out that all of this was a set up by you. You left on purpose and now you’re back to get me in trouble.. Are you trying to make Big Brother Zhan hate me?” Song Yiren questioned her.
