Chapter 158 Engaged

Someone was shocked: "Wow, seeing that Jiang Gong is doing well, are you planning to go back to him?"

"Mr. Jiang finally escaped from such a family. He would be stupid to follow them back, right?"

"For most of my life, I always thought I was shameless enough. I didn't expect that today I would know what true shamelessness is."

"Engineer Jiang and Director Lu are a match made in heaven. They've already gone to meet their parents, and this old woman is still here spouting nonsense."

"Is it too late to regret now? I'm afraid Mr. Jiang is no longer someone their family can afford."

…

The people outside were whispering sarcastically, and although their voices were low, one or two sounds could still be heard into the house from time to time.

Liang Suya's expression in the room kept changing. She stared at Li Shengli, as if she wanted to see through this man.

"Li Shengli, so this is what your family is planning. What's going on? Now that Jiang Haitang is capable, you're thinking of letting her come back?"

"Suya, don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean that..." Li Shengli hurriedly explained.

Jiang Haitang couldn't come back, he couldn't divorce Liang Suya, he had to keep Liang Suya stable.

He had a good idea, but Wu Xiuyun had suffered a great loss today, and her brain was not working as well as usual, so she started to hold him back.

"Why explain to her? Haitang is so good? You can divorce this little whore and live with Haitang. You don't have to squeeze into this shabby little house. Her house is better. You can just move in with Jiang Haitang. Your sister and I can live here."

As Wu Xiuyun spoke, she looked at the Liang family proudly.

In fact, Wu Xiuyun used to call Jiang Haitang by her full name, but now she calls her Haitang affectionately, obviously to provoke Liang Suya.

"Bah, don't you even look at the face of your family, is it worthy of letting Jiang Haitang come back? Even though I'm not from your factory, I know that she is very capable now!"

Liang's mother was pulled by Li Shengli and struggled several times. She was unable to rush to Wu Xiuyun to deal with her, but she was very merciless in her words.

"Jiang Haitang was lucky enough to leave your house, and you're still thinking of asking her to come back. How dare you? She gave up such a good Director Lu for a rotten-hearted ungrateful person like you."

"Li Shengli, I'll grant you your wish. After the holiday, we'll get a divorce so that it will be easier for you to find Jiang Haitang."

Liang Suya was very calm and spoke directly to settle the matter.

Li Shengli didn't expect that Liang Suya would talk about divorce so casually.

"Suya, I really don't have such thoughts. My mother was beaten and she is upset. Let's not talk about this matter, okay?" Li Shengli quickly begged for mercy.

Liang Suya, however, was determined as if she had swallowed a weight and insisted on getting a divorce.

In the end, Li Shengli could only watch Liang's father and mother take Liang Suya away.

The crowd around had not yet dispersed, so Li Shengli could only close the door to block out their sight.

Wu Xiuyun was still sobbing, saying that she had a miserable life. She was bullied like this and her sons didn't avenge her.

Li Shengli was extremely upset. Because of today's incident, he had lost all his last bit of face.

"Can't you just stop worrying? How many things have happened since you arrived? After the New Year, I'll send you back to your hometown. Don't come here anymore."

Li Shengli had not made up his mind originally, but after today's incident, he was not going to force himself to be a filial son.

"Shengli, as long as you live a good life, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little injustice. Otherwise, you can send me and your sister back today!"

Wu Xiuyun was now smart enough to start backing down and spoke to her son in a wronged tone.

Seeing his mother like this, Li Shengli sighed.

Wu Xiuyun continued, "Shengli, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten angry with the Liang family. When the old woman from the Liang family wanted to hit me, I should have given her my face and let her hit me hard. It's all my fault. Otherwise, you can send me to the door of the Liang family. Even if I have to kneel down, I will let your wife come back."

Li Shengli looked at his mother's face which was beaten like a pig's head, and he couldn't bear to blame her. He could only squat on the ground with his head in his hands.

Wu Xiuyun knew that it was enough. If she continued, her son might develop a rebellious mentality.

"Shengli, mother regrets letting Jiang Haitang leave our home. I didn't think she was good before, but now when I compare her, I still think that our country girls are simple and filial."

In her previous life, Jiang Haitang served Wu Xiuyun all her life, and Wu Xiuyun never praised her. In this life, Jiang Haitang is gone, and she actually has such feelings.

"Mom, I can't say this anymore. What's the point of regretting it now?"

"Why is it useless? She's your wife. I've already sued heaven and earth. No one can stop her!"

Wu Xiuyun felt that there was nothing wrong with thinking this way.

Jiang Haitang was the child bride bought by her family. She should be grateful for being allowed to come back.

"Mom, how could Jiang Haitang come back? Our marriage is dissolved."

Although Li Shengli is also self-righteous, he is not so self-righteous.

Jiang Haitang is no longer within his reach!

No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, Lu Liangchen was much better than him. He had a good family background, good looks, and better abilities than him.

If he were Jiang Haitang, there is no way he wouldn't want Lu Liangchen to come back to him.

"Why doesn't she come back? If you divorce Liang Suya, this unfilial woman, Jiang Haitang will definitely be willing to come back."

Li Qiulan sneered, "Mom, you'd better stop dreaming. Jiang Haitang is now earning a high salary and is hooking up with Director Lu. How could she possibly come back to our house?"

Whenever Li Qiulan thought about the fact that such a good man like Lu Liangchen was actually with Jiang Haitang, she felt as if a thorn was stuck in her heart.

How could a man like Lu Liangchen be defiled by Jiang Haitang?

Her brother is a useless man. Each wife he married was worse than the last, and he also caused their mother to be beaten.

"It's not her turn. If she doesn't want to come back, let your brother sleep with her! Women, once slept with, will be devoted to you. When she comes back to our house, let her serve us at home and give the good job to your brother." Wu Xiuyun's eyes were full of malice and calculation.

She had no idea how ferocious her expression was when she said this.

When Li Shengli heard Wu Xiuyun scolding him, he suddenly felt that this might not be an impossible thing.

But what if I fail?

The news about the Li family's plan spread throughout the factory in a short time.

Even Secretary Tan heard it.

When Secretary Tan heard the news, he couldn't believe that there were such shameless people in the world.

He thought that he had to remind Director Lu and Jiang Haitang to prevent them from being at a disadvantage without knowing anything.

But he didn't know the Lu family's phone number.

After much deliberation, Secretary Tan called Director Hu.

Hearing the familiar voice, Director Hu thought Secretary Tan was wishing him a happy new year and was very happy.

Who knew that I would hear such disgusting news.

"Old Hu, you said it's been so long, are you almost done with the investigation? I'm really worried that the air in the factory will be polluted if you let such a disgusting thing stay in the factory."

"It's almost there. Just bear with us for a few more days. We should have news after the Lunar New Year." Director Hu advised his old partner, "Keep a close eye on things at the factory. Liangchen and Haitang have both made contributions recently. I'm sure they'll be honored after the Lunar New Year. Don't let them get upset."

"Didn't they go home? How did they accomplish something great again?"

Director Hu briefly recounted what he knew about what happened on the train when Lu Liangchen and Jian Haitang returned to Beijing.

Secretary Tan immediately became excited: "This saved the people on two trains, and also saved two trains. This is a great achievement. It is true that we are getting old, and now it is the world of young people."

"After the New Year, I guess you'll still be busy as the secretary."

"I like this kind of help. Oh, and remind them to be on guard."

"They got engaged on the fifth day of the New Year. I went over and told them."

"Engagement?" Secretary Tan was obviously not expecting this. "That's great news. Please help me say congratulations."

The phone call was expensive, so the two of them hung up without saying much.

After hanging up the phone, Director Hu's face darkened. Jiang Huizhen noticed this and asked, "It's New Year's Day, and you just received a call. Why are you still angry?"

Director Hu explained the situation, "This family is a rotten bunch. They might even plot something treacherous. I'll have to hurry up and investigate quickly. Keeping someone like this around is always a hidden danger."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifth day of the first lunar month, the day when Lu Liangchen and Jiang Haitang got engaged.

Because it was just an engagement and not a wedding, not many people were invited. They just had a meal with a few families who had good relations with the Lu family to make the engagement clear.

Although there were only a few families, there were several tables. It was inconvenient to prepare at home, so He Wanyi booked the place at a state-owned restaurant.

It was Chinese New Year and there were few people in the state-owned restaurant. Apart from them, there were no other guests that day.

Director Hu and his wife appeared as the elders of the woman's side, and Jiang Haitang was very grateful for their arrival.

"You two don't have a daughter, and you love Haitang so much, why don't you just find a godparent?" It was Shi Shulan's mother who spoke, and there was a hint of tentativeness in her tone.

Shi Shulan's mother is Jiang Yuzhen. She and Jiang Huizhen are sisters who did not have the five blessings. She is also relatively familiar with the situation of Director Hu and Jiang Huizhen's family.

At first she was worried about what to do if Lu Liangchen's wife was not a good person. But after meeting Jiang Haitang today, she observed her for a long time and was sure that this girl was a good person.

However, she felt that Jiang Haitang did not have a decent family background, which was not good enough. It would be nice if she could become a godparent with the Hu family.

Jiang Huizhen paused with her chopsticks, thinking that her cousin was a bit rash. She did not have a daughter, and she really liked Jiang Haitang, but she had never thought of adopting her as her godchild.

So, just laugh it off and let it go.

No one took her words seriously and just laughed it off.

Jiang Yuzhen felt a little regretful, but since Jiang Huizhen disagreed, she could only suppress the idea.

"Mom, why are you saying this? It's so embarrassing." Shi Shulan quietly tugged at his mother's sleeve and complained to her in a low voice.

"You are young and don't understand these things. I am doing this for you. Although your sister-in-law is a good person, her family background is not good and she is not presentable. People will inevitably talk about her. In families like ours, there are many people who look down on others." Jiang Yuzhen advised her daughter earnestly.

"Mom, in this situation, the more low-key we are, the better. The old man knows how many people are watching us. Liangchen's wife is of humble origins and is not very impressive. If she becomes a godparent to the Hu family, some people will inevitably think too much and it will be unbearable."
