Chapter 41 Counterattack

Seeing that she looked a little pale, Aunt Lu asked with concern, "Are you hungry? Then hurry up and go eat." Jiang Jianni gave a perfunctory reply and went to the kitchen to get her bowl and eat.

She is currently in a state of utter confusion.

To everyone's surprise, not only did the words above her head turn into gibberish, but the words above Lu's parents' heads also turned into gibberish.

What exactly happened?

She absentmindedly fiddled with the wontons in her bowl, completely unaware of what they tasted like.

Mr. Lu was puzzled and whispered to Mrs. Lu, "What's wrong with our daughter-in-law? Why does she look so unhappy?"

Shouldn't a newlywed bride be shy?

Otherwise, she would be quite poised and elegant.

Why does Jiang Jiani look so bitter and resentful?

Lu's mother was also puzzled: "I don't know. Do you think I should ask him?"

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Lu leaned close to Mrs. Lu's ear and whispered, "Tell me, isn't our Xiangyang a bit... you know?"

Lu's mother was speechless for a moment, then pinched her husband and warned, "This is your son and daughter-in-law, watch your mouth."

Mr. Lu looked wronged: "What did I do? Wasn't it all for this little brat?"

He's spent his whole life in the military; what hasn't he heard of?

I've heard countless stories of couples falling out because of the man's inability to perform sexually.

“He just got married. If there are any problems, it’s better to treat them sooner rather than later. We can’t just wait until he gets divorced, can we? It wasn’t easy for him to get married…”

Lu's mother was almost furious, gritting her teeth as she said, "You, you, you, can't you think of anything good?"

Besides, the two young people were making a ruckus until midnight, and the people downstairs in the next room could hear it all. Is that a problem?

She's been a nurse for half her life, and she raised all four of her children herself. If there were any problems, how could she, as their mother, not know?

Lu's mother thought that Jiang Jianni was a little unhappy because Lu Xiangyang was not home on the first day of their marriage.

"You go out now, you can visit other people's homes, play cards, play chess, and chat as you please. I'll talk to Jia Ni after she finishes eating."

Mr. Lu could only sigh repeatedly and go visit his neighbors.

Not long after Mr. Lu left, a soft female voice timidly sounded at the door:

"Aunt Song, may I come in?"

Lu's mother suddenly felt a bit full.

She quickly glanced at Jiang Jiani. Good, she was still eating and hadn't noticed them.

Then, she forced a small face and went to greet them at the door: "Shuying, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

"You just came back from abroad. I heard that flying is tiring. Why don't you stay home and rest properly?"

Fang Shuying smiled sadly and said softly, "I... I'm feeling a little unwell, so I wanted to go for a walk."

She had a look on her face that said, "Come and ask me why!" Aunt Lu pretended not to see it, hooked her arm around hers, and walked out.

"Really? That's exactly what I was thinking of doing."

"Come on, come on, it's been so long since we've seen each other. I was just about to ask you about your life abroad. Let's go outside and talk as we walk."

Fang Shuying was slightly anxious and struggled a little: "Auntie, I..."

Jiang Jianni heard the commotion and wanted to see what was going on, but when she came out she saw Fang Shuying. She was immediately disgusted and turned to go upstairs.

To everyone's surprise, Fang Shuying forgot about Aunt Lu as soon as she saw her and immediately called out, "Jiang Jianni, stop right there!"

Jiang Jianni turned around and took a few steps to the eaves outside, looking down at Fang Shuying: "What is it?"

Fang Shuying's eyes immediately reddened: "You, you..."

Jiang Jianni interrupted, "I'm fine, you can rest assured a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times."

"Is there anything else?"

Fang Shuying's tears started falling again: "How could you do this?"

Jiang Jianni was puzzled: "What did I do wrong? I just told you I was fine and that you shouldn't worry."

Is this really that bad?

Seeing someone peeking in from next door, Jiang Jianni sneered inwardly, her voice suddenly rising:

"Or do you only feel happy if I'm unhappy?"

Fang Shuying was caught off guard by this sudden move and could only manage to say, "No, I didn't, you, you're talking nonsense."

Jiang Jianni, her eyes also reddening, asked loudly:

"So what do you mean?"

“You caused trouble at my wedding yesterday, but I didn’t hold it against you because you know the Lu family.”

"But today is the second day of my marriage to Xiangyang, what do you mean by coming to block my door again?"

Fang Shuying was even more bewildered: "I, I..."

Jiang Jianni didn't give her a chance to organize her thoughts at all:

Are you trying to say that's not what you meant?

"But you even cried in front of me, and you say you didn't mean anything by it? Would you believe that if you were in your shoes?"

"Big sister, I'm begging you, please let me go, please let Xiangyang go, okay?"

Do you know how much fate it takes for two people who have absolutely no connection to come together and become husband and wife?

"Big sister, you're so beautiful and kind, please don't ruin the hard-won relationship between us, okay?"

As she spoke, Jiang Jianni also began to shed tears.

Looking at Fang Shuying, who was completely numb, she grabbed her hand and shook it violently: "Please? Please don't ruin things between us, okay? Please, please, please?"

Fang Shuying's mind went completely blank at the words "okay or not": "I, I, I..."

I tried for a long time, but nothing came out.

Seeing this, Jiang Jianni immediately added fuel to the fire:

"Do I have to kneel down and beg you before you'll let me go?"

"Fine! Then I'll kneel down before you!"

As she spoke, she bent her knees and was about to kneel down: "I'd do anything you want, even if you make me kowtow ten, eight, or a hundred times, just please let us go..."

Startled, Lu's mother grabbed Jiang Jiani and glared fiercely at Fang Shuying:

"Shuying, what exactly do you want from here?"

Fang Shuying felt even more wronged when she saw her: "Aunt Song, I didn't do anything..."

Jiang Jianni smiled wryly: "Mom, this lady..."

Fang Shuying then realized that she had been called "big sister" for a while, and immediately said angrily, "What big sister? I'm only twenty-three years old."

Jiang Jianni readily agreed: "Okay, Miss."

"Miss, why are you crying the moment you see me? What's the meaning of this, acting like I've bullied you, let you down, and wronged you?"

"I didn't know you at all before yesterday,"

“You insisted on going to my wedding and saying that Xiangyang and Xiangyang were in love, and that I was ruining their relationship.”

“I am a normal person, and I don’t want to bear the blame for breaking up other people’s relationships.”

"Since you've come all this way today, let's let the evidence speak for itself."

"Miss Fang, didn't you say that you and Lu Xiangyang were in love with each other?"

"What about evidence of your mutual affection? For example, gifts he gave you, letters you wrote to each other, or anything like that? Do you have any?"

"I remember you said you were his fiancée, so what about your engagement token? Or a witness to your engagement? You should have those, right?"
