Chapter 5

I was originally hesitating whether to get involved in this mess with my cousin's family.

Who knew my cousin would call me first thing in the morning to warn me not to meddle in her family affairs.

After listening, I realized my cousin's family had really lost their minds; they decided to endure everything because of Cao Jun's position within the system.

I'd heard my aunt's family had high hopes for my cousin, but she had been working in hospitals for so long and, even after getting married, she was still an external staff member.

My cousin was still hesitating, but a single word from my aunt—"forgive him"—made her give up.

She's always been this kind of person, completely under her family's thumb.

I should have just left it at that, but then I heard their family wanted to sever ties with mine.

I was stunned: "You're going to sever ties with our family because of a man who hasn't been in your life that long?"

My cousin remained silent.
