Jiang Yimian frowned, feeling indignant for Lu Cijian. The other party hadn't done anything wrong, yet he had become famous in the village before he even arrived because of a single sentence from Chen Guixiang. After arriving, he was still being pestered by this mother and daughter.
Now, he not only has a reputation for being fierce and menacing, but also the added label of being disliked by Li Chunhua, which is truly an undeserved disaster.
Turning around, she saw that Lu Cijian had arrived at some point and was standing behind her.
The boy was tall, completely blocking the surging crowd behind her. From her perspective, she could only see his taut jawline.
She immediately frowned and said, "Your reputation is completely ruined."
Lu Cijian paused, then said in a low voice, "Do you care?"
Jiang Yimian quickly shook her head and said irritably, "They're all just rumors, I won't believe them."
Besides, she's not going to marry Lu Cijian, so what does his reputation have to do with her?
Of course, she dared not say that. She still remembered the time when Lu Cijian got angry for no reason, and she dared not talk nonsense again.
"That's good." Lu Cijian's lips curved slightly, and his tense jawline relaxed a little. He felt a soft, furry touch on his chin, brushing against his hard jaw like a feather gently brushing against it.
He helplessly reached out and ruffled the fluffy head, reminding it, "Just watch the fun, don't move around."
Jiang Yimian was startled and immediately stopped moving.
Li Chunhua spotted the tall man in the crowd at a glance. He only gave her a cold look and then whispered to the person next to him. She was so angry that she clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh without her noticing.
Hearing the congratulatory voices around her, she relaxed instantly. He was just a country bumpkin. If Jiang Yimian wanted him, she would give him the job. She was going to be a lady someday.
If she can win over the people in the house today, who cares about these peasants in the village?
Thinking about it, she raised her head with a smug look and said with a smile, "I will definitely not forget all of you aunts when I get married. Let's call it a day. The young master doesn't like a lot of people."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to close the door.
But the people gathered at the door were incredibly curious and pushed their way into the house.
"Let us see which young master it is!"
"That's right, our village is the first to have someone who can marry the young master of the town."
Seeing the crowd blocking the door, Li Chunhua became anxious, feeling both guilty and dissatisfied. "What are you doing? There will be other opportunities to watch, so don't crowd here."
However, everyone was so intrigued by Li Chunhua's words that they were unwilling to leave. Instead of letting her go, they started shouting loudly.
"Chen Guixiang, which family's son is your daughter going to marry? Tell us quickly."
"Exactly, why didn't anyone mention something so important?"
Hearing the intermittent shouts outside the courtyard, Lin Yan'an frowned slightly. "Xiao Fu, go and see what's going on outside. Also, ask where Miss Jiang lives."
Xiao Fu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and got up to leave. He realized that this woman was just there to cause trouble, saying bad things about Miss Jiang at every turn, while constantly mentioning her own daughter, saying how good she was in appearance and personality.
It's obvious they're after his young master.
Seeing that the person was about to leave, Chen Guixiang was so frightened that she quickly stood up from the stool and stopped Xiao Fu, saying, "Hey, it's okay, young man, sit down and rest for a while. My daughter is outside, she'll chase the person away in a bit."
Xiao Fu was stopped by someone and couldn't shake off Chen Guixiang, so he was at a loss for what to do.
Lin Yan'an, however, was too lazy to listen to the woman's nonsense any longer, so he got up and walked outside.
He had hoped to hear some secret about Jiang Yimian from this woman, or perhaps even gain an advantage in business negotiations.
Who would have thought that this woman would keep talking badly about Jiang Yimian and the Jiang family, while indirectly praising her own daughter.
If he didn't understand what the other party meant at first, he now understands everything, which is a complete waste of his time.
As soon as Lin Yan'an came out of the house, the people outside the courtyard exclaimed in unison, "Hey, he's here! Is this the young master who came to Chunhua's house to propose marriage? He's really handsome."
"Absolutely! Chunhua is going to be very lucky from now on!"
Li Chunhua's face turned pale instantly, and she said urgently, "Why aren't you leaving? I told you before, the young master doesn't like crowds. Leave quickly."
However, now that everyone had finally spotted him, how could they leave so easily? They all looked at Lin Yan'an and asked him questions with curiosity.
"Hey young man, which family's young master are you, and when do you plan to marry Chunhua?"
"That's right, Chunhua is someone we've watched grow up. Don't take advantage of your family background to bully people!"
As everyone joked and laughed, Li Chunhua nearly fainted on the spot. Just as she was about to explain, she heard an dissatisfied voice, "What wedding? I was just passing by."
Lin Yan'an frowned as he looked at the crowd in front of him, somewhat impatient.
I should have known better than to come back with that woman. Why did he have to get married in the first place?
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. After a while, a young woman spoke up: "Young man, didn't you come here today to propose marriage to Chunhua?"
Lin Yan'an's eyes widened instantly, and he finally understood why the woman hadn't let him leave.
He immediately gave Li Chunhua a disdainful look and said coldly, "I don't even know you, what marriage proposal are you making? Besides, don't you have a mirror at home?"
After saying that, he didn't bother to pay any more attention to the other party. He just frowned at the crowd surrounding him and said, "Do you have anyone named Jiang Yimian in your village? I am from Huichuntang and I'm here to talk business with her."
Jiang Yimian was still in shock when she saw Xiao Zhangshi say happily, "Hey, little brother, Jiang girl is here."
Lin Yan'an looked in the direction of the voice and finally found the familiar figure. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "You really made me look for you. Where do you live? I don't want to stay here anymore."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the group.
He must be crazy to believe what that woman said.
The crowd made way for the group.
Jiang Yimian snapped out of her shock and realized that this person was probably here to discuss a soap business with her. She immediately lost interest in watching the spectacle and simply said, "My home is just ahead. Let's talk in detail when we get back."
Having said that, he led the way directly ahead.
Lin Yan'an lost interest in taking the carriage, instructed Xiao Fu to bring the carriage over, and then left with the others.
Seeing that the group left without any mercy, Xiao Fu glared fiercely at Li Chunhua before leaving. The onlookers gradually realized what was going on and began to look at Li Chunhua with strange eyes.
