Lin Wanwan was very happy during the meal, and the two families discussed that the wedding would be held two days later.

“In-laws, we don’t have many relatives. Those relatives and friends were cut off from us when Lao Lu and I were sent to the countryside. Now we only have a few families we keep in touch with,” Song Lanzhi shook her head and sighed.

He Yumei comforted her, "It's better to see things clearly sooner rather than later, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

“You’re right. I’m really grateful to you and your husband, Lao Lin, for taking care of me and Lao Lu over the past ten years. If it weren’t for you, Lao Lu and I wouldn’t have made it through even a year,” Song Lanzhi said, her eyes welling up with tears as she thought of her husband.

Lu Feng quickly tried to comfort her, "Mom, things are better now, aren't they? Why are you crying?"

Song Lanzhi hurriedly wiped away her tears. "I was so confused. I didn't even know we could go back to the capital. I never thought we could get our house, car, and other assets back. It's all thanks to you and your husband, Lao Lin."

Lin's father sighed, "Fortunately, everyone is alright now, and Yumei and I can finally relax."

Song Lanzhi continued, "We only have one relative on our side, my elder brother. I don't want to invite anyone else; it's just bad luck. Let's see what relatives you have on your side, and then we can invite them all and make the arrangements together."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Lin said, "We have many relatives here, so we'll take care of the arrangements. You don't need to worry about it."

Song Lanzhi firmly disagreed, "We will still arrange the banquet. If people find out that you arranged the banquet, they will blame us Lu family for not knowing the rules. They will think that we have neglected Wanwan. You and Yumei think about how many people are coming and tell me. We will book at this restaurant."

Seeing that she had stopped arguing, Lin's father said, "I might have some work colleagues and former comrades from the army here. There might be a lot of people."

Song Lanzhi waved her hand and said, "It's more lively with more people. I'm afraid it won't look right if there are too few people."

Song Lanzhi seemed to remember something, "Oh right, the bride price. I was thinking that giving those things is too vulgar. Our family has a five-courtyard siheyuan, which we recently returned. It's in Xiaoshibei Hutong. Lu Feng and I discussed it, and we transferred the house there to Wanwan's name, along with some jewelry. I was worried that Wanwan wouldn't like it, but seeing how she's dressed today, I think she'll like it."

Song Lanzhi then turned to Lin Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, come to my house tomorrow. I'll give you those pieces of jewelry. See if you like them. If you don't, I'll find you some more."

He Yumei quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, sister-in-law, the house is too valuable."

"These are for Wanwan, and they represent the sincerity of the Lu family. Please don't refuse them," Song Lanzhi said with a smile to Lin Wanwan. "Wanwan, please don't refuse either. You must come to our house for lunch tomorrow."

Mr. Lin nodded, "Okay, we'll definitely clean up tomorrow."

Lin Wanwan was astonished by the five courtyards and turned to look at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng looked at her little expression and wanted to laugh. He looked down at her and asked, "Why are you making that face?"

Lin Wanwan blinked at him, "What's it like to be a senior member of the 'Five-Year Courtyard House'?" Chewing on the meat in her mouth, Lin Wanwan suddenly felt that the meat didn't taste as good anymore. How could it be as fragrant as the courtyard house?

Seeing that there was still soup on the corner of her mouth, Lu Feng's eyes lit up with surprise. As if possessed, Lu Feng reached out and wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Wanwan was stunned, the two families were also taken aback, and even Lu Feng himself was startled.

"Shall I take you to see it tomorrow?" Lu Feng asked her, looking down at her.

Lin Wanwan blinked and said, "Okay, okay, let's go tomorrow."

Seeing that they got along well, He Yumei and Lin's father felt much more at ease.

Song Lanzhi was even more surprised. She knew her son best; he would never act like this, even with that woman from before.

Song Lanzhi's face darkened when she thought of her previous daughter-in-law.

Both families enjoyed the meal. On the way back, Song Lanzhi looked at her son who was driving and asked, "I don't think Wanwan is like what people say. She was beautiful and poised today, and she was very well-behaved."

Ren Xunyang, focused on driving, asked, "Who told you that? Yin Meiyue?"

Song Lanzhi remained noncommittal. "Meiyue is only doing this for your own good, afraid that you'll be deceived. Why do you dislike her so much? She's sensible, capable, and a good girl."

"She claimed to be my boyfriend and kept causing trouble for Wanwan, even hitting her. Wanwan tried to commit suicide at home because of this. She didn't dare tell anyone. Even Aunt He just thought she didn't want to marry me, so she tried to commit suicide. If I hadn't met Yin Meiyue at the bookstore today, I wouldn't have known," Lu Feng's voice was a little cold.

Song Lanzhi was surprised and said in disbelief, "Is there such a thing? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Meiyue is so kind and sensible, Wanwan must have made a mistake."

“Look, even you are saying this. She can’t think of any other way out except suicide after being beaten. Nobody will believe her. Mom, please don’t say things like that anymore,” Lu Feng said with a bad expression.

Song Lanzhi looked at her son and asked, "How can you trust her so much? You've only known each other for a short time?"

Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, "She is very frank, completely different from Yin Meiyue. Yin Meiyue only knows how to please you and use you to bind me. She is different. She tells me her thoughts honestly and asks for my opinion, instead of using tricks to force me. In this respect, she is many times better than Yin Meiyue."

Song Lanzhi opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

After returning home and washing up, He Yumei went to her daughter's room. "Wanwan, are you asleep?"

Lin Wanwan opened the door and let her in. "What's wrong, Mom? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

He Yumei came into the room and pulled her aside to ask, "How did it go with Lu Feng today? He seemed to treat me quite well."

Lin Wanwan guessed that she would ask, so she answered honestly, "He's great, he's very nice, and he's really suitable to be a husband. Today I met his childhood sweetheart at the bookstore, the girl that Aunt Song likes very much."

"How does Lu Feng treat her?" He Yumei asked anxiously.

"Not so great, I avoid him like the plague, he stood by my side the whole time, he's a pretty good person," Lin Wanwan roughly recounted what happened at the bookstore today.

He Yumei laughed at what she said, "You too, how can you talk about girls like that?"

"I didn't say anything wrong. It's always 'brother, brother.' Anyone who didn't know better would think she was laying an egg. Luckily, Lu Feng isn't blind, or I would have broken off the engagement with him today," Lin Wanwan said angrily.

He Yumei laughed and said, "I don't think Lu Feng is uninterested in you. He was so considerate and gentle to you today. The Lu family is also very generous. That five-courtyard house is worth a lot of money. Some of Lu Feng's ancestors were high-ranking officials, and later they were wealthy merchants. They have been a wealthy family since his great-grandfather's generation. You told me today that I even prepared jewelry for you. It must be of good quality. You have turned misfortune into blessing. I originally thought that your relationship with Lu Feng was going to fall through!"

"Mom, I was too stupid and rebellious before, I won't be like that anymore," Lin Wanwan said, linking her arm with hers.
