"You're talking nonsense."

"I've heard several people mention it."

"You're talking nonsense."

Jiang Yue's move was brilliant.

If you want to frame me, I'll lie back. You'd better prove it yourself.

Fang Ai's gaze towards Xie Ya also changed somewhat.

"You're shameless! I didn't!" Xie Ya said angrily and ran out.

Fang Ai didn't want to buy anything anymore, so she quickly followed him out.

The others didn't recognize Jiang Yue, but seeing her imposing presence—even Xie Ya couldn't match her—they didn't dare say anything and all ran away.

Yang Hong gave Jiang Yue a thumbs up.

"I'm going back now."

Why did Fang Ai and Xie Ya come here this time?

It seems the Fang family has a relative in Xiangcheng.

After returning home, Jiang Yue asked Lu Yu about him when he came back.

"Lu Yu, I saw Fang Ai and Xie Ya today."

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Yu looked at Jiang Yue.

"Xie Ya scolded me today, and after I gave her a good talking-to, she stormed off."

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Yu smiled and said.

"Honey, are you alright?"

Jiang Yue glanced at Lu Yu triumphantly and said.

"How could I be in trouble? Of course I'm fine."

Jiang Yue frowned as she thought of Fang Ai and Xie Ya.

“I heard that your mother used to want to choose one of them as your wife.”

Upon hearing his wife's words, Lu Yu immediately replied.

"Wife, I'm innocent. You're the only one in my heart."

He couldn't excuse what his mother had done in the past; indeed, no intelligent person could have come up with those ideas. As for the discord between the Lu and Fang families, if the two families became related by marriage, those issues would be resolved.

Is it possible to get through?

They belong to different factions. It's not that the Lu family wants to be petty, but the Fang family is single-mindedly climbing the social ladder, having done so much already. There's no way to turn hostility into friendship...

But Mom thought that the other person was sincere.

As a son, there are some things I really shouldn't have said.

But Mom thought too simply about these things.

Seeing Lu Yu's expression, Jiang Yue smiled with her lips pursed.

Her engagement to Lu Yu was arranged by her grandparents, and who knows what Jiang Yun did? No one would say Jiang Yun is stupid.

She was also puzzled. Grandma Jiang was a smart woman, so how could she have raised someone like Jiang Yun?

After regaining her composure, Jiang Yue gave Lu Yu a cold look.

Don't think she doesn't know; Lu Yu and Xiao Bei are the top choices for husbands among the young girls in the compound. Even though she and Lu Yu are engaged, several of them are still eyeing them.

snort.

Hearing his wife's voice, Lu Yu coaxed Jiang Yue again.

After Jiang Yue fell asleep, Lu Yu went to his office and made a phone call.

Xiangcheng.

Xie Ya was very angry.

Jiang Yue is talking nonsense, even saying she had an abortion, she...

She was furious just thinking about it.

Seeing Xie Ya's expression, Fang Ai offered words of comfort.

"Okay, Xiaoya, don't be angry anymore."

"How could I not be angry? She's ruining my reputation. Her own affairs have spread throughout the capital."

“Both the Lu family and Jiang Yue have denied it, so maybe it’s just a rumor,” Fang Ai said with a smile, her eyes flashing.

"Hmph, there's no smoke without fire."

Xie Ya then looked at Fang Ai.

"Fang Ya, let's stay in Xiangcheng for a few days. I don't want to run into Jiang Yue again."

"I'll be going back to the capital in a few days."

Xie Ya nodded.

"I heard that Xiao Bei has been in Xiangcheng these days, but I don't know if he is with the troops here."
