Chapter 36 The reason why I like Li Mingzhu

She raised her head, glanced lazily at Jiang Lanya, and asked with a smile: "Aunt, has Uncle Li agreed to marry you?"

Jiang Lanya's heart skipped a beat, and her expression became visibly ugly.

"Shen Qinghuan!" she shouted angrily.

"Aunt, please don't be angry!" Shen Qinghuan curled the corners of her lips, still smiling, "I remember when I was little, I went fishing with my grandfather. Grandpa told me that when fishing, you can't give too much bait. If you give too much bait, those smart fish will only eat the bait outside the hook.

That way, you'll never catch any fish, and your bait will just dwindle."

Even if Jiang Lanya was not smart, she understood the meaning of Shen Qinghuan's words. He was making fun of her and making her the one who was taken advantage of!

For a moment, the anger that she had suppressed in her heart burst out.

But this is an old house, and she didn't dare to do anything wrong.

"Shen Qinghuan, what qualifications do you have to ask about my affairs? You are not even as good as a dog in our Jiang family."

"Really?" Shen Qinghuan remained nonchalant, not at all offended by Jiang Lanya's curses. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Jiang Lanya seriously, a distant look between her brows. "Aunt, grandpa and grandma are not in good health. As long as you don't make them angry, I won't ask any questions about what you want to do."

Finally, Shen Qinghuan added with a smile: "Aunt, Ayu and I have the same idea."

Jiang Lanya's expression changed instantly, and she wanted to rush forward and slap her a few times. She gritted her teeth in hatred and asked with a sullen face, "You little bitch, are you threatening me?"

Shen Qinghuan nodded seriously and said, "Yes! I am threatening you."

"Huanhuan, Aunt Jiang is your elder, how can you say such things! I always thought you were kind and had a good heart, but now you are like this..." Li Mingzhu frowned, looking as if she was dissatisfied.

After a pause, she continued with regret in her eyes, "Huanhuan, if Ayu knew how you treated Aunt Jiang, he would also be unhappy."

Shen Qinghuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Mingzhu.

She had never understood why Jiang Yu liked Li Mingzhu. Later, Li Meng told her that men like women with big breasts and no brains. She didn't know whether Li Mingzhu was smart or not, but her breasts were quite big...

Shen Qinghuan's gaze lingered on Li Mingzhu's heaving chest for a moment, then he lowered his head and looked at himself with a dead heart.

A small witch meets a big witch!

A sense of panic suddenly surged in her heart, and she grabbed the pillow next to her and stuffed it into her arms, as if trying to cover up her mistake.

Jiang Lanya did not leave until dinner time, so Li Mingzhu, who came with her, naturally stayed as well.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yu slept very soundly and didn't even show up for dinner.

Unable to wait for Jiang Yu, the tired Li Mingzhu had to leave after dinner, and Jiang Lanya hurriedly followed.

"Mingzhu, why do you want to go back? I was planning to let you stay here tonight." Jiang Lan Ya said with a frown.

Li Mingzhu's face showed embarrassment, and a hint of red gradually appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She smiled bitterly and said softly, "Aunt Jiang, you know, grandpa and grandma don't like me. If I insist on staying, they will be unhappy."

Jiang Lanya felt sorry for Li Mingzhu, "You are just too kind. The person Ah Yu likes is obviously you. If it weren't for that stinky girl interfering, you would have been our Jiang family's daughter-in-law long ago. How could she have had a turn?"

Li Mingzhu lowered her eyes, subtly concealing the strange look in her eyes, and deliberately showed weakness: "Aunt Jiang, don't say such things again in the future. Grandpa and grandma will be unhappy if they hear it."

Jiang Lanya scoffed disdainfully: "That is, they think Shen Qinghuan is good!"

Li Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything, but the coldness that flashed in her eyes betrayed her vicious thoughts.

Fearing that Li Mingzhu would feel bad, Jiang Lanya continued to comfort her: "Mingzhu, one day they will all know how good you are and will regret their decision."

"It's been so long, and I feel bad for Ayu..." Li Mingzhu's throat choked. "Aunt Jiang, I hope Ayu can be happy. Even if his happiness isn't given by me, I still hope he lives a good life."

"You are such a silly child! Ayu likes you. How can he be happy if he is not with you?" Jiang Lanya was a little anxious, but she was also worried that Li Mingzhu would think she said this for her own sake.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke mysteriously, "Mingzhu, you may not know this, but my sister-in-law doesn't really like Shen Qinghuan. Jiang Yu is her most precious son. What mother would want such an outstanding son to be schemed against by a woman with no background? But she couldn't persuade the old man. It was the old man who asked Jiang Yu to marry Shen Qinghuan. Who dares to disobey the old man's words? Not to mention her, even my brother wouldn't dare to disobey."

"So, don't be fooled by my sister-in-law's usual friendly attitude towards Shen Qinghuan. That's all because of the old man's face. Can you imagine? If one day the old man is gone, will there still be a place for Shen Qinghuan in this family?"

After a pause, Jiang Lanya snorted coldly and continued, "Grandpa's health has been getting worse over the past two years. Wasn't he hospitalized last time? I estimate that it will probably only be a year or two."

Li Mingzhu lowered her eyes, subtly concealing the strange color in them, replacing them with a look of deep worry. She said anxiously, "Aunt Jiang, what exactly is wrong with Grandpa? I didn't get a chance to ask you last time."

Jiang Lanya: "The old man's heart has always been in bad condition. He even had a stent surgery 20 years ago. Now that he's old, the doctor doesn't recommend surgery. He can only take conservative treatment."

Li Mingzhu suddenly said, "Aunt Jiang, when I was abroad, I knew a very good heart specialist. If Grandpa needs help, I can help contact him."

"A very powerful expert? How powerful can he be?" Jiang Lanya snorted disdainfully, rolling her eyes.

Li Mingzhu choked and looked at Jiang Lanya meaningfully.

After a brief pause, Jiang Lanya tilted her head to look at Li Mingzhu, her tone suddenly becoming cold: "Mingzhu, with Ayu's abilities, do you think he won't be able to hire the best heart doctor in the world?"

Li Mingzhu's pupils shrank slightly, and the meaning in her eyes became more intense.

If she still couldn't guess what Jiang Lan Ya was thinking at this point, she would be too stupid! Li Mingzhu obviously didn't expect Jiang Lan Ya to be such a crazy woman. Wasn't she worried that she would tell others?

After the shock subsided, she calmly agreed, "Aunt Jiang is right. Ah Yu definitely knows more people than I do."

"Then again, things are unpredictable. Life and death are determined by fate. When people get old, they all die."

“…”

"Mingzhu, although you are not my daughter, I watched you grow up. You should know very well how I have treated you over the years. I have always hoped that you could become the daughter-in-law of our Jiang family. It's a pity..."

Jiang Lanya changed the subject, her eyes full of pity and helplessness.

"Mingzhu, I've really wronged you over the years. Don't worry! From now on, Auntie will never let anyone bully you again."

Li Mingzhu's eyes instantly turned red, her pretty lips opened slightly, and tears hung on her eyelashes, looking like they were about to fall.

"Aunt Jiang, in this world, besides my dad, you are the best to me."

"Who made you Jianhua's daughter? If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
