Wen Tang and her best friend Chi Yue stumbled upon a true and false heiress novel on a fiction website. Unlike typical stories of this trope, the two heiresses weren’t pitted against each other�...
Chapter 363 How many sets of clothes do I have for my engagement?
"Okay!" Gu Shuhe responded obediently with a crying voice.
Shen Tingci felt very distressed all of a sudden.
He didn't care that they were outside, or that there was no one around. If he pulled the person's hand, others would see him, so he just reached out and held the person's hand.
This time, Gu Shuhe did not glare at him fiercely. Instead, she raised her hand and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Shen Tingci thought it would be better for her to glare at him.
Feeling distressed, he held the person with one hand and raised his other free hand to gently pat Gu Shuhe's back, silently comforting him.
Shen Tingzhi asked Chen Ying to look at her elder brother and sister-in-law. Chen Ying only glanced at them and gave Shen Tingzhi an elbow, not forgetting to curse in a low voice, "You are a girl in your twenties, and you don't know shame!"
Shen Tingzhi: “…”
"My sister-in-law is crying, why should I be ashamed?"
Chen Ying: “…”
She immediately realized that she and her daughter were not talking about the same thing.
Chen Ying didn't want to say that she was the one who wanted to make things look bad, so she could only continue to scold her daughter, "I saw your sister-in-law crying, but you didn't go and help your brother take care of her."
Shen Tingzhi was a little speechless, "With my elder brother here, what does it have to do with me?"
Having said that, Shen Tingzhi didn't want to stand at the gate of the courtyard to feel the cool breeze, so she turned back to the courtyard.
In the yard, Jiang Ruoruo did not leave. When Chen Ying and the others thanked the guests, Shen Tingyu quickly ran to her side.
Jiang Ruoruo was just waiting for him to come!
Shen Tingyu ran over, and before he could say anything, Jiang Ruoruo said with a cold face, "I have something to ask you!"
The smile on Shen Tingyu's face froze, but he still nodded.
Before her daughter left, Zhou Fenfen reminded her to "talk it over nicely."
Then he smiled apologetically at Shen Tingyu.
The two turned and went to the other direction of the yard.
Jiang's father asked Zhou Fenfen, "What did she say when she called Tingyu?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Fenfen was also a little angry, "You are sitting at the men's table, don't you know that the Shen family is also bullying people."
Although Zhou Fenfen had a lot of words to say when she was trying to persuade Jiang Ruoruo, when it came to herself, she was so angry that she wanted to hang herself.
"Their family gave the eldest daughter-in-law six sets of clothes and ten items of other things, but they were unwilling to give them to Ruoruo."
"Didn't you buy six sets?"
"What six sets? The remaining two sets and the other two were all bought with Ting Yu's own money."
"Tell me, isn't this harmful to others?"
"All the little money Tingyu has saved has been spent here. How will he live in the future?"
"Oh, their eldest son brought a huge dowry, so my daughter deserves to live a hard life here, right?"
Zhou Fenfen was complaining to her husband in the yard, while Jiang Ruoruo had already started arguing with Shen Tingyu in the other side of the yard.
Jiang Ruoruo called the people to the other side of the yard and began to ask, "How many sets of clothes do I have for my engagement?"
Shen Tingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled guiltily, "Six sets, what's wrong?"
"Chen Tingyu!" Jiang Ruoruo called him.
Shen Tingyu still smiled and said, "Hey, go ahead, I'm listening!"
"Let me ask you again, how many sets of clothes do I have for my engagement?"
Shen Tingyu is actually not very good at lying, mainly because he doesn’t want to deceive Jiang Ruoruo, so this time he didn’t respond neatly, but was silent for a long time, and chose to tell the truth, "…My family bought you four sets, and I used my savings to buy you the remaining two sets."
Shen Tingyu wanted to say: It's just two sets of clothes, it's the same no matter who buys them, he will treat Jiang Ruoruo well in the future, and he will never let Jiang Ruoruo down.
But as soon as Jiang Ruoruo heard it, she immediately cried and pushed Shen Tingyu in front of her, "Is your family bullying me like this?"
"Even you are joining your family in bullying me, aren't you?"
"Chen Tingyu, how have I ever let you down?" She became more and more excited as she spoke, crying and hitting Shen Tingyu who was standing in front of her, and even waving her hand in front of Shen Tingyu.
She had some nails, so Shen Tingyu's exposed neck and cheeks were immediately left with nail marks.
Shen Tingci was originally taking his wife back to the main hall to eat, but he saw Jiang Ruoruo yelling over there and even starting to fight.
Gu Shuhe didn't mean to watch the fun, but she wiped her tears and saw Jiang Ruoruo crying and pounding Chen Tingyu. She became curious and suddenly didn't want to cry anymore.
The steps stopped consciously.
Shen Tingci also stood in the middle of the yard with her and watched together.
Shen Tingzhi, who was chased back to the courtyard by her mother, followed the gaze of her eldest brother and sister-in-law and saw her second brother and sister-in-law quarreling.
She was originally curious as to why they were arguing out of the blue, but then she saw Jiang Ruoruo beating her brother.
Shen Tingzhi usually has a good relationship with Jiang Ruoruo, but this does not mean that their relationship is better than that of siblings.
Shen Tingzhi felt uncomfortable all of a sudden, and she ran over quickly.
But before she could get close, Shen Tingci had already called out in a cold voice, "Shen Tingyu!"
This voice seemed to be calling Shen Tingyu, but it was actually called for Jiang Ruoruo.
If Jiang Ruoruo and Shen Tingyu were already married, then he, as the eldest brother, would not care about what happened between the couple.
But now the two of them haven't gotten married yet, and Jiang Ruoruo is beating people and crying in their yard, and today is his wedding day, which shows that Jiang Ruoruo not only does not respect Shen Tingyu, but also does not respect anyone in their family.
To put it bluntly, it's almost like deliberately provoking him.
Shen Tingci is not an old-fashioned person, but he still pays attention to some taboos in some things, such as his marriage.
Shen Tingci called for someone, and Shen Tingzhi turned around and ran towards the gate of the courtyard halfway through.
She wanted to complain and tell her parents that Jiang Ruoruo had beaten her second brother.
As soon as Shen Tingci's voice appeared, Shen Tingyu subconsciously protected his face.
Jiang Ruoruo also stopped waving her hands.
Zhou Fenfen, who had been complaining about the Shen family to her husband, also raised her head, and so did Jiang Ruoruo's father.
They were just concerned about the six sets of clothes and didn't even look at what their daughter was doing.
When they looked up, Jiang Ruoruo had already stopped, and they were both confused.
Although I was confused, I still put my bike away and walked over.
Shen Tingzhi also called her parents into the yard.
Gu Shuhe saw that this was like a three-party trial, so she quickly patted Shen Tingci's hand that was holding her, signaling Shen Tingci to let go.
Being signaled to let go, Shen Tingci's jade-white face was stained with a hint of red, and he let go of his hand very embarrassedly.
Then he heard Gu Shuhe say, "I won't get involved in this kind of household affairs. I'm going back to my room first."
Shen Tingci had almost let go, but quickly held it again, lowered his head and whispered, "You are now also a part of this family."
Gu Shuhe looked at Jiang Ruoruo who was still crying, and said honestly, "Then it wouldn't be a good idea for me to stay and watch the fun!"
She thought Jiang Ruoruo definitely didn't want her to be there.
But Shen Tingci said, "She just deliberately made a big fuss, and she's not afraid of people seeing it."
Gu Shuhe subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruoruo and Shen Tingyu again, expressing his doubts about Shen Tingci's words.
When Chen Ying heard her son being beaten, she ran over quickly.
However, Shen Pengfei's steps were not as steady as before, but his expression looked unhappy.
