——The call was from Mrs. Xiao.

Why are you calling at this hour?

Bai Fan muted the phone without thinking.

On Mrs. Xiao's side, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

The sooner the better to cancel the engagement, the better. She must make it clear quickly. Otherwise, if she cancels the engagement after Lin Xi enters the city's professional chess competition, it will seem that she lacks sincerity.

After thinking about it, she made another call.

Bai Fan was annoyed this time and just hung up the phone.

Xiao Ran watched Bai Fan frowning from the side, and couldn't guess what Bai Fan would say when he answered the phone:

"Mom, how's it going?"

Madam Xiao said angrily:

"That Bai Fan hung up my phone."

Then she asked Xiao Ran:

"Do you think there's something wrong with her?"

Xiao Ran took out his own cell phone, found Lin Daiyu's phone number, and dialed the number without much patience.

Mr. Zheng opened his phone to check the calendar and said:

"Xiao Yu, there is a competition in our Nancheng professional competition this month. I'll sign you up first. Although it's just a small competition, the first prize is .88. You can go and practice."

"it is good."

Daiyu agreed, and then she noticed her cell phone ringing. Oh, it was the original owner's fiancé, which was really rare.

She picked up the phone with a gossipy mindset.

Madam Xiao's voice came from the receiver:

"Daiyu, are you asleep?"

Daiyu still felt puzzled. The woman's voice sounded familiar:

"who are you?"

The voice was clear and cold, without any emotion or feeling.

Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Daiyu used to pester her every day, calling her aunt all the time, but how come she couldn't even recognize her voice?

"I'm Aunt Xiao."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Daiyu's voice was still emotionless. Madam Xiao thought that this routine was not right, but she was calling with a mission today, so she still wanted to make it clear at once:

"Daiyu, it's like this, you see, you and Xiaoran have known each other for quite a few years."

Daiyu pressed the speaker on her phone and threw it aside. She was busy packing rose saltpeter into small boxes. She was afraid that the airflow from her speech would blow the powder away, so she just muffled a sound through her nose:

"Ah."

"Look, our Xiao and Lin families have had a very good relationship over the past few years, and our Xiao family has also provided your Lin family with a lot of resources..."

Mrs. Xiao's voice echoed in the Ye family's yard through the speaker of her mobile phone, sounding sharp and piercing, with a hint of aggressiveness.

When Mr. Zheng heard the voice, he couldn't help but frowned. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Fan and asked:

"Is this the woman from the Xiao family?"

Mrs. Xiao obviously didn't know that Daiyu was turning on the speaker, but Mr. Zheng's voice was so deep that it was difficult for her not to hear it.

Mrs. Xiao had never heard anyone use such vulgar language to describe her. Usually in the circle of rich ladies, everyone called her "Mrs. Xiao" politely. She was immediately annoyed and angry.

It happened that Daiyu was holding her breath while packaging, and I couldn't hear her speak for a long time.

She became even more impatient and said:

"But Daiyu, you know that Xiaoran and you have never been able to get along. After our Xiao family succeeds, we will definitely pass on the family business to Xiaoran. What he needs is a virtuous wife who is both knowledgeable and beautiful."

Bai Fan was annoyed by what she heard. She had actually heard some of this kind of words before, but the meanings conveyed by Lin Chenhui and Ye Su were not as harsh.

Mainly because Daiyu was obsessed with the boy from the Xiao family, she couldn't say anything.

But today, everyone called and she couldn't stand it any longer.

Then he replied:

"Wang Meijuan, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Our family doesn't need a relative like your Xiao family."

Is this Bai Fan’s voice?

Then she just hung up the phone on herself!

Because Bai Fan had previously provided the Xiao family with the Wu family's contact information, Mrs. Xiao was somewhat restrained.

If things get ugly, Bai Fan might go to the Wu family to complain.

Before the relationship between the Xiao family and the Wu family becomes stable, Mrs. Xiao still wants to coexist peacefully with Bai Fan first.

She said to the other end of the phone in a gentle voice:

"Brother Bai, don't be upset. Even though we can't be relatives, we still have Xixi, right?"

Lin Daiyu and Bai Fan looked at each other, and both of them almost understood.

Bai Fan is now worried that Daiyu will go to extremes. What is this?

She broke off the engagement with her younger granddaughter, and now she’s getting engaged to their older granddaughter?

Daiyu picked up her cell phone and walked to the edge of the courtyard wall, being careful not to blow the rose saltpeter by her words.

Then she spoke coldly to the other end of the phone:

"Mrs. Xiao, right? I fully agree with your desire to find a good wife for your son. As it happens, your son is not my type, Lin Daiyu. So from now on, your son and I will not interfere with each other. Please ask him to find another good wife."

Let her go to other people's homes. I don't have time to play with them.

After saying that, Daiyu hung up the phone.

Bai Fan, who was picking herbs, was so frightened that his hands froze and he looked at his granddaughter in disbelief.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

Daiyu threw her cell phone aside easily and continued to pack her rose saltpeter.

"No...nothing."

Bai Fan had a million doubts in his mind, but he kept them to himself in front of Daiyu.

Daiyu, her own granddaughter, treats the son of the Xiao family like a delicious bun. All of them can see that Xiao Ran is not serious about Daiyu, but Daiyu still insists on having a relationship with him.

As for Madam Xiao, after Daiyu hung up the phone, she was stunned for a moment.

It was clearly them who called to request the cancellation of the engagement, but in the end it seemed like it was their Xiao family that was the one being cancelled?

Mrs. Xiao had a breath stuck in her throat that couldn't be released.

Seeing her frown, Xiao Ran thought the talk had failed, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone:

"Mom, what's wrong? Is that Lin Daiyu making all kinds of excuses not to break off the engagement with me?"

Madam Xiao was stunned for a while before she waved her hand and replied:

"No, that Lin Daiyu agreed."

Xiao Ran smiled and said:

"That's great. Now I can have a good relationship with Xixi."

Madam Xiao stared at her phone in a daze:

"Xiao Ran, don't you think our breaking off of the engagement was a little too smooth? This Lin Daiyu, my boss always finds it a little strange, why did she agree so readily?"

Based on their understanding of Lin Daiyu, if the Xiao family proposed to cancel their engagement, she would definitely cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide.

Although Xiao Ran couldn't understand Lin Daiyu's actions, he felt sick when he thought of the black spots on her face.

**

Early in the morning, Daiyu got up and went to the stream to collect flower dew, intending to use it to make dew cream.

By the Crescent Creek, there were two men in black, one holding a fishing rod, squatting by the creek to fish.

Daiyu glanced at them a few times and felt that these two people looked somewhat familiar.
