"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Hengjue said, his face darkening.
Master Xu looked embarrassed.
"Brother Xu was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?" Xu Lan chuckled. "What, do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
Songjia Village.
"Hengjue told you he would be back?" Yao Ying frowned. "It's almost afternoon and he's still nowhere to be seen. He hasn't forgotten, has he?"
Yang Qingheng lowered her eyes and didn't look very well. Hearing this, she raised her head and forced a smile: "Yes, when has he ever lied to anyone?"
“That’s true,” Yao Ying nodded. Her son had always been honest and wouldn’t lie. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed ahead, “Look, isn’t that Director Zhou and the others?”
Yang Qingheng looked up, a hint of a smile in her eyes, and quickly went to greet her: "Yes."
Today is her birthday. She originally planned to have a meal with her family, but Tang Bainian somehow found out it was her birthday and insisted on coming to celebrate with her.
Zhou Shuwen heard about it and said she wanted to come too, and later her whole family came.
The car drove into the village, startling the people outside, who all came to see what was going on.
"Yingzi, no wonder you two were waiting here so early, it turns out we have important guests!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"When did you meet such an important person? He even has a car. I heard that even the mayor of our township can't afford one. Your guest must be very powerful?"
"Yingzi, your family is about to become rich. You'll have to take care of us in the future."
...
A group of people's eyes lit up, and they rushed to flatter him.
Yao Ying couldn't help but feel a little smug, and almost burst out laughing: "It's not some big shot. It's just that Director Zhou's family heard that it's Qingheng's birthday today and insisted on coming to celebrate. Since they brought it up, we couldn't refuse, just to have some fun."
"Your wife is so amazing!"
Someone was shocked, but was quickly slapped on the shoulder by the person next to them: "You forgot, Yang Qingheng saved Director Zhou, so it's only right that she comes to celebrate his birthday."
"Yes, yes, Yingzi, your family is so lucky to have Qingheng as your daughter-in-law. She'll bring good fortune to your family." Everyone's eyes were filled with envy.
That's Director Zhou! If you could get in touch with him, you could become a worker. I heard that Yao Ying's nephew got his job from Zhou Shuwen, and his family is doing very well now.
The whole family is wearing new clothes.
Yang Qingheng couldn't help but facepalm. Last month, these women were calling her a slut and saying that Song Hengjue's marriage to her was a misfortune for his family. Now they're rushing to say that marrying her would bring good fortune to the family. These women must be masters of face-changing.
However, she didn't have time to chat with them because the car quickly stopped at the door.
She stepped forward with a smile and took Zhou Shuwen's hand: "Aunt Zhou, you look great today. Come, have a seat inside."
"Thanks to the appetizer tea you made for me, my appetite is much better now." Zhou Shuwen chuckled, clearly pleased with everything about her.
"That's right, her appetite is almost catching up with Tang Bainian's now," the uncle said happily, thanking her from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone was astonished to see the two men take out large and small bags of gifts from the car.
This must have cost a fortune! It's on a completely different level from what we initially agreed to do at Li Jiaoyan's house!
"Why isn't your husband here today?" Zhou Shuwen glanced around but didn't see Song Hengjue.
Yang Qingheng's smile faded, and she shook her head: "He said he would come back, but he was probably delayed on the way. Let's go inside first. I've made some flower tea."
"Her man is probably with another woman." Li Jiaoyan watched this scene with jealousy in her heart, and now that she had the chance, Ji Feng laughed out loud.
It's his wife's birthday, and as her husband, he should be back home no matter what. Plus, there are guests coming, so he should help entertain them.
Not only was Song Hengjue not home, but he was also with another woman. These words were like a slap in the face to Yang Qingheng, making the scene extremely awkward.
Everyone's expression changed. Yao Ying frowned and glared at her: "Li Jiaoyan, don't slander people without evidence. Hengjue is not that kind of person!"
She must have been completely blind back then, actually thinking that Li Jiaoyan was a good match for her son.
Fortunately, he married Qingheng, otherwise, wouldn't his household be in turmoil because of Li Jiaoyan?
Li Jiaoyan sneered: "Whether what I said is true or not, Yang Qingheng knows it in her heart. What's the point of deceiving yourself?"
"I don't know if she's deceiving herself, but I do know that you can be sued for slandering someone without evidence." Tang Bainian said coldly, his police-like aura making people feel uneasy.
Li Jiaoyan glared at Yang Qingheng, but ultimately dared not say anything more.
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out from the crowd: "Qingheng, isn't that your man?"
Yang Qingheng's face lit up with joy, and she turned to look.
Li Jiaoyan burst out laughing: "Oh dear, why is there a woman sitting in the back seat?"
Everyone looked over, and some couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh out loud as if watching a good show.
On his wife's birthday, the man brought his mistress home; this was practically a death knell for Yang Qingheng.
Yang Qingheng took a deep breath, feeling extremely disappointed, but also wanting to laugh. She called out to everyone, "Aunt Zhou, let's go in first, we don't need to wait for him."
"That's too much!" Zhou Shuwen, who was bystander, was so angry that her face turned ashen. She didn't want to see Song Hengjue at all and pulled Yang Qingheng inside.
Tang Bainian stared intently at Yang Qingheng's retreating figure, then strode after her, carrying the gifts.
"Mom." Song Hengjue stopped the car, and Xu Lan jumped out after him.
