Chapter 52 Debunking the Rumors

Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua were genuinely satisfied that Qi Jingchuan was able to marry Cen Yan.

Because Cen Yan was not only the child betrothed to Qi Jingchuan by the old master of the Qi family.

He was also their savior!

His character and appearance are both top-notch, nothing more to say, it's just his family background...

Pshaw! She's just a capitalist's daughter? So what? The Qi, Zhao, and Su families are all loyal and righteous, can't they even protect their granddaughter-in-law?

That doesn't make sense!

Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua left, their faces crinkled with smiles.

The neighbors who had been whispering and watching for a while saw Cen Yan alone and quickly came over to ask her what was wrong.

Especially Aunt Tang.

I knew Cen Yan was a capitalist's daughter who came to the army to force Qi Jingchuan into marriage, and I was disgusted by her.

The two elderly people came to her door and beat up the couple, which made her feel relieved.

Cen Yan, the wicked woman who deceived the feelings of these gay men and forced the respectable Qi Jingchuan into marriage, is finally going to get her comeuppance. She'll be waiting under the shade of the tree to watch the show.

Unexpectedly, Cen Yan was chatting and laughing as she saw the two elderly people off.

"Cen Yan, what's going on between you and Commander Qi? Are you getting a divorce or not?" Aunt Tang finally couldn't hold back and asked the question that many comrades were thinking.

Knowing that Aunt Tang and the others had been misled by Wang Manman and were just people who hated evil and didn't have much bad intentions, Cen Yan didn't give Aunt Tang any attitude, but just looked innocent.

"Aunt Tang, ladies, what are you saying? Qi Jingchuan and I just got married today, how can we be getting a divorce already? It's such a joyous occasion, you can't be making things difficult for me like this, can you?"

"It's not that we're upset with you, it's just that there are rumors outside saying you're a capitalist's daughter. The elders of Qi Jingchuan's family are here today to break up this couple!" Aunt Tang explained.

Cen Yan seemed to realize it too late.

"Hey! I thought it was something serious, Aunt Tang. Qi Jingchuan and I were betrothed as children. It was arranged by the Qi family elders. You're saying the Qi family elders came to ask us to get a divorce? How could that be? The two elders were afraid that Qi Jingchuan was too impulsive and wouldn't know how to handle things, so they came to give me betrothal gifts. Look, the bankbook and the jade bracelet were all given to me by the elders."

"It's fate, really. Our Cen family is a prominent and influential family in Shanghai. Years ago, when Qi Jingchuan's grandfather came to Shanghai to work, our Cen family donated half of our wealth to help the people get through the famine. The two elders hit it off immediately and that's how they got engaged. It's a pity that the Cen family donated all the money. Otherwise, how could my dowry be so meager?"

"By the way, ladies, where did you hear this gossip that Qi Jingchuan and I are getting a divorce?"

When you're out in the world, you have to choose your own identity. Cen Yan lies without even thinking, and in just a few words, she establishes herself as a down-on-her-luck persona, which makes those around her feel even more sorry for her.

It turns out that Cen Yan was actually the child of a red capitalist. When the common people were starving, the Cen family gave away half of their wealth to save countless lives.

For a moment, the military wives in the family compound felt ashamed when they saw Cen Yan's innocent appearance.

How could they believe Aunt Tang's words and really think that Cen Yan was some kind of extravagant and dissolute capitalist, coming to the gate to see Cen Yan make a fool of herself and wait for her to be kicked out of the Qi family?

He even ate the young girl's wedding candy.

"Aunt Tang, look at you, what kind of trouble have you caused!" Someone shoved Aunt Tang with their elbow, blaming her for spreading rumors.

"It's you? Aunt Tang, I have no grudge against you, why are you making up lies to harm me?" Cen Yan immediately grabbed Aunt Tang and asked aggrievedly.
