Chapter 46: Fame - The Daily Life of the Sickly Aunt in the Compound, Always Ready for Gossip

Under Jiang Da Sao's relentless pressure, Lin Shu naturally couldn't admit that she was like Lin Qing. "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? If I were like my aunt, I wouldn't be standing here now!"

"..." Jiang Da Sao was momentarily speechless.

However, after a short while, she stubbornly said, "Maybe you're just putting on a show since you just got married?"

Lin Shu's face instantly hardened. "Then Sister-in-law can just wait and see." With that, she turned and left the kitchen.

Hmph! We'll see about that. If she catches even a whiff of trouble, she’ll make sure everyone knows, hehehe!

Gu Hang got up a bit late today, so he left for work later than usual, coincidentally walking with the star of yesterday's drunken escapade!

Zhou Qin noticed people giving him weird looks and couldn't help but ask, "Gu Hang, why do their looks seem so odd? Is there something wrong with me?" As he spoke, he looked down to check himself.

After checking, he still found nothing amiss, so he could only turn his puzzled gaze to Gu Hang beside him.

Gu Hang found it hard to explain. With all those injuries, how could you not notice? He really wondered if Zhou Qin was blind.

Gu Hang’s expression was a mix of hesitation and frustration, but he finally stammered out, "You really don't remember?"

"Remember what?" Zhou Qin scratched the back of his head, unable to recall anything.

"..." Wow! Did he really forget everything after getting drunk?

"Just tell me, what happened? What did I forget?" Zhou Qin couldn't stand his look any longer.

Seeing that Zhou Qin really wanted to know, Gu Hang decided not to hide it and said directly, "You got drunk and made a scene last night."

Zhou Qin thought to himself, getting drunk and causing a scene was normal, so what was so strange about that?

Then Gu Hang added, "You made a scene at the Su family's doorstep!"

What did that have to do with the Su family? Could it be...

The next second, Gu Hang confirmed his suspicion, "You confessed to Qin Xianglian and said you wanted to marry her."

Gu Hang expected to see Zhou Qin's face filled with regret, but instead, Zhou Qin stopped and looked at him with anticipation, "Did Sister Lian agree?"

His eyes were filled with hope, but his expression was also smug, as if he was certain Qin Xianglian would agree.

Indeed, he shouldn't have expected anything from him!

Gu Hang looked up at the sky, unable to resist rolling his eyes, "What do you think?"

After asking the rhetorical question, Gu Hang didn't want to continue talking to this clueless guy anymore and simply quickened his pace to leave!

The passersby were also shocked by Zhou Qin's narcissistic expression. This... this... was really hard to describe!

Zhou Qin's behavior was truly baffling. Could he really be that deeply in love with that widow?

"Don't go! You haven't answered my question yet!" Zhou Qin didn't even notice Gu Hang's eye roll.

At this moment, he still hadn't gotten the answer he wanted, so he immediately chased after him.

"Gu Hang, Gu Hang, answer me! Did Sister Lian agree or not?"

His wild and carefree antics made him the center of attention on the street.

Although Zhou Qin had already attracted attention due to his drunken antics the previous night, his behavior on the street now drew the gaze of clueless passersby, making him the center of attention as he walked into the factory.

Zhou Qin worked in the factory's security team, and the guard at the entrance, also a colleague from the security team, immediately teased him upon seeing him, "Hey, Zhou Qin, are you finally going to get rid of your single status?"

After all, Zhou Qin was famously single at the factory! It was rare to see someone still single at thirty, which was why his drunken episode had become so widely known—it was all because he was so notorious in the factory!

"What do you mean? Did Sister Lian accept my confession last night?" The colleague's words immediately led him to misunderstand.

Getting rid of his single status? Didn't that mean his confession had been accepted?

That's how Zhou Qin took it. After all, how could Sister Lian not accept someone as handsome and impressive as him?

"..." The colleague was momentarily speechless. He had just been making small talk—had it really been accepted?

But he had clearly heard that Zhou Qin had been rejected! And even beaten up for trying to force himself on her. Those injuries weren't fake, were they?

"Haha, I don't know about that. I just heard it from others. Are you getting married? To that Qin Xianglian?"

Zhou Qin, caught up in his own fantasy, couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, I think Sister Lian must have agreed. I need to go talk to her about setting a wedding date. I'll invite you all to the wedding feast!" With that, he immediately ran off.

"..."

Behind Zhou Qin were Yu Liang and his wife, whose expressions were so hard to describe that they caught the guard's attention.

"Hey, buddy, do you know about Zhou Qin's situation?"

Zhang Yuanyuan, unable to suppress her desire to share the gossip, immediately cut off her husband and started talking, "We live in the same courtyard as Zhou Qin."

Just that one sentence immediately drew a crowd, all eager to hear the rest.

The gossip had been circulating all night, and some details had already been twisted. They had heard that Zhou Qin was going to marry the widow Qin, but those who knew them thought it was unlikely, so they were curious to hear what someone from the same courtyard had to say.

Seeing so many people interested, Zhang Yuanyuan got even more excited, "Last night, Zhou Qin got drunk and went to the Su family's doorstep to confess and propose to Qin Xianglian. He even forcefully hugged her!"

Oh ho!!!

Many eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Qin Xianglian tried to struggle but couldn't break free at first. Then her two kids rushed over and started punching and kicking Zhou Qin. Zhou Qin pushed the kids to the ground, and then the Su family women lost their temper, launching a fierce attack on Zhou Qin. You saw his injuries—they were all inflicted by Qin Xianglian and her family."

The crowd thought back to the injuries they had just seen on Zhou Qin and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that woman really went all out!"

"In the end, it was Uncle Zhou who rescued Zhou Qin and even declared that as long as he was alive, his son Zhou Qin would never marry that widow Qin Xianglian!"

And then?

"Qin Xianglian also said she would never marry Zhou Qin."

"So his proposal failed?"

"Yep." Yu Liang and Zhang Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

"See, rumors can't be trusted. If I didn't live next to your courtyard, I would have heard this morning that Zhou Qin and Qin Xianglian were getting married!" The guard sighed. He knew some things from living next door, but not in such detail.

His words resonated with many. Indeed, the news they woke up to was that Zhou Qin, the notorious bachelor, was going to marry the widow from his courtyard.

This news was pretty shocking, especially since Zhou Qin was not only famous for being a lifelong bachelor but also for his bizarre matchmaking experiences, which had been spread throughout the factory by various matchmakers!
