Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Just as Liu Ergou was thinking how utterly ridiculous Zhang Cuifen looked, she rushed toward him. In the next second, she had grabbed his arm and begun to plead desperately.

"Er Gou, your aunt knows she was wrong! Please, put your phone away!"

"I'll apologize, okay? I have a foul mouth, I spoke without thinking. I'm begging you, please!" she cried. "You can't let anyone see this. If people see it, my life is over! I'm begging you, Er Gou!"

As she spoke, she pressed his arm against her chest. For a moment, Liu Ergou felt his arm enveloped in a vast softness, and a flash of pale flesh came into view.

But this time, Liu Ergou didn't react with his usual eagerness. Instead, his face was expressionless, cold as frost. He extended a hand and pushed Zhang Cuifen away, giving her no chance to plead or ingratiate herself.

Although he had already hit the pause button, he didn't put his phone away. Holding it up, Liu Ergou spoke leisurely, "You don't want others to know about your dirty laundry, right?"

"That's simple. It's not difficult for you at all."

"First, get Xiaorou back here immediately and apologize to her. Second, cancel her engagement to Er Lü right away! Those are my two demands. Nothing else!"

"As long as you do these things, I can pretend none of this ever happened."

Hearing this, Zhang Cuifen didn't hesitate for a moment. She dropped to her knees with a thud and raised her hands, slapping herself fiercely across the face twice. While hitting herself, she started to sob out an apology.

"I'm sorry, Er Gou! Your aunt is apologizing to you! It was my foul mouth, I'm sorry! Please forgive your aunt!"

"I will personally apologize to Xiaorou later!" At this, she slapped herself twice more. "See? Your aunt isn't just apologizing, she's taking action! Are these slaps enough? If not, you can slap me! As hard as you want! Don't hold back!"

Watching the pitiful woman in front of him, Liu Ergou sneered. "Aunt Zhang, stop playing dumb with me. Your apology is a start, but the second demand is the real point here! Understand? That's what today is all about!"

Upon hearing his words, a troubled look immediately crossed Zhang Cuifen's face.

"The engagement… the engagement with Er Lü…" She hesitated, her voice trailing off.

Seeing her act this way, Liu Ergou couldn't be bothered to waste any more time. He pulled out his phone and started to walk toward the door. As he walked, he said, "It seems you don't really care about this video, Auntie. Since you don't, there's nothing more to talk about!"

Seeing him leave so decisively, the already frantic Zhang Cuifen became even more panicked. She scrambled forward and grabbed him.

"No, no, it's not like that…"

"Brother, my dear brother, please! Don't threaten your aunt with the video anymore. I have a weak heart, you'll make me faint from the shock!"

Liu Ergou just curled his lip. "I'm the only doctor in our village. It's just a heart condition, isn't it? I can bring you back. Now, let's talk about the engagement."

Hearing the unwavering determination in his voice, Zhang Cuifen could only say helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to call it off. It's that I'm completely powerless to do so! I can't!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou blinked and then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Auntie, don't make me laugh!"

"Everyone in and out of the village knows what goes on in your house. You call all the shots. Would Uncle Wang dare to argue with you? He'd have to be tired of being married to you to even try! Don't you dare tell me Uncle Wang is the one who disagrees with calling it off!"

Zhang Cuifen shook her head. "Oh, it has nothing to do with that good-for-nothing! The truth is, it's a different situation altogether!"

This left Liu Ergou completely baffled. "You agree, and Uncle Wang would agree, so what's the problem? Don't tell me Xiaorou is the one refusing! If you try to pull that, I'll walk out of here without another word!"

But even as Liu Ergou laid it all out, Zhang Cuifen still shook her head. "Sigh… anyway, that's one request I absolutely cannot agree to!"

With that, she scurried to the door, bolted it, and then drew the curtains before returning to stand before him. This strange sequence of actions left Liu Ergou completely confused, with no idea what she was up to.

"Auntie, what are you—"

Before he could finish, Zhang Cuifen started unbuttoning her clothes, revealing a large expanse of pale skin. She then struck a deliberately seductive pose.

"Er Gou, I really can't do what you're asking. How about this instead? I'll let you do whatever you want with me. Anything you want, and I won't say a word."

By the time she finished speaking, her outer shirt was already off. Seeing this scene unfold before him, Liu Ergou's expression turned completely dark. He shoved her away forcefully.

"What are you thinking?" he said, annoyed. "Take a good look at yourself. You want me to sleep with *you*? You're the one who'd be getting lucky! In your dreams!"

He pressed on, "Now, hurry up and explain. Stop changing the subject. Why can't Xiaorou's engagement be canceled?"

"My patience has its limits. Don't test me!"

"If you don't come clean right now, then I might just have to let this video…" He trailed off, his eyes fixed on Zhang Cuifen.

His words hit her right where it hurt. Zhang Cuifen waved her hands frantically. "No, no, no! I'll talk! I'll tell you, okay? Just please, please don't mention the video again! But you have to promise to keep it a secret after I tell you!"

Liu Ergou ignored her condition, merely glancing down at his phone.

Seeing his dismissive attitude, Zhang Cuifen heaved a long sigh, as if resigning herself to her fate. She knew that at this moment, she had no leverage to negotiate.

She finally spoke, "The rumor going around is that I sold Xiaorou for her brother's sake. They say I sold her for 100,000 yuan, but that's not what happened at all! In reality, Xiaorou's bride price was a full 400,000 yuan, not a mere 150,000!"
