Chapter 406 Rejected (1/2)

She was lucky to meet Qiao Wanyue, who stood up for her.

Although Cuihua wasn't as lucky as her, she had three daughters, and now she was able to accept the divorce.

Isn't that another kind of luck?

"Second sister-in-law, thank you." Lu Xingxing raised her glass to Qiao Wanyue.

Qiao Wanyue knew what she meant, "You're welcome."

The Liu family's affairs did not disrupt the atmosphere at home.

Panpan, holding her small cup, imitated the adults and clinked glasses with Lu Hui.

The two little ones smiled at each other.

Lu Hui drank the juice in the glass in one gulp.

They were all very happy.

It was only seven o'clock after dinner when a few little kids appeared at the door, peeking out. They were Lu Hui's new little buddies. Lu Hui heard the voices and said, "Mom, I want to go next door to watch TV."

There is no television at home.

Sister-in-law Lu felt that it was inappropriate to visit other people's homes during the Lunar New Year, when they were having a family reunion dinner.

But seeing the bright eyes of her son and Panpan, she thought for a moment, then grabbed several handfuls of milk candies from the table and put them in the children's pockets, "Go and say Happy New Year to the aunties and uncles, and give them the candies."

Lu Hui nodded.

After the two children left, Sister-in-law Lu started thinking and said to her husband, "Let's buy a TV."

"After the New Year."

Televisions in department stores are now sold without coupons, but they are quite expensive. A 21-inch color TV costs eight or nine hundred, and even a black and white one costs four or five hundred. This is considered a big purchase, so you should think twice.

But if the child likes it, then it's not a waste of money.

Lu Xingxing also had the idea, but she needed to use the money she had after the New Year to rent a shop to expand her business. Her older brother and his family had already bought a house, while she and Panpan were still renting a house, so she put her mind to it.

Qiao Wanyue wasn't even interested; she didn't spend much time there, and the money would just gather dust.

The two men cleared the dishes, and the women began to chat.

After a while, there seemed to be a knock on the door.

Lu Xingxing stood next to the door and said, "I'll go."

"Who are you?"

Looking at the person outside the door, Lu Xingxing fell silent.

Who is this woman?

Wen Bing looked at Lu Xingxing and unconsciously raised her head.

"Who are you? Where is Lu Yunzhou?"

Lu Xingxing raised an eyebrow; the woman's eyes held arrogance and mockery, indicating she looked down on him.

"Something's wrong. What's your name? I'll call my brother out."

"You are Lu Yunzhou's sister," Wen Bing said rudely.

Lu Xingxing nodded.

ā€œI’m your sister-in-law,ā€ Wen Bing said, raising her head.

Lu Xingxing: ? ? ? ?

"Which sister-in-law?"

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Wen Bing reached out to push her.

Lu Xingxing simply grabbed her and threw her out.

He also closed the door behind him.

"I don't care who you are. If you're here to wish me a Happy New Year, you're welcome. But if you're here to cause trouble, I advise you to save your breath. You're supposed to be a young lady from a wealthy family, so don't embarrass yourself and your family."

Wen Bing: "What did you say?"

"I'm telling you, you're shameless."

Wen Bing tightened her grip on the gift. She had to see Lu Yunzhou today; she couldn't play word games with this rude woman.

Get out of here!

Lu Xingxing vaguely guessed who this woman was. Her brother had a fervent suitor who had even hurt her second sister-in-law. This woman must be that young lady. It was the first New Year for her second sister-in-law and brother, and she couldn't let this woman bring bad luck. Even if her second brother and this woman had nothing going on, her second sister-in-law would definitely be upset if this woman came over during the New Year.

She carried the person to the family compound and handed them over to the soldiers on guard.

"Why are you letting just anyone in? I don't know this person, yet they insist on barging into my house," Lu Xingxing said.

The soldiers were completely baffled.

Why did she go back in?

Wen Bing sneaked into the family compound time and time again, and was almost always thrown out by Lu Yunzhou, but she was like an unkillable cockroach, and the whole army knew that she liked Lu Yunzhou.

But they didn't dare to actually do anything to Wen Bing.
