Lu Mianmian has not paid any attention to Ke Shiqiang recently. She has been busy reading books and managing the restaurant.
That day she made an appointment with Jian Si Ning to come to her restaurant to try the new dishes. The two had just sat down and were waiting for the chef to serve the dishes when they heard the waitress say that a girl was looking for her.
Lu Mianmian asked someone to bring the girl in, and found out that the person was Ke Xiaomei.
When Ke Xiaomei saw Lu Mianmian, she timidly called out, "Second sister-in-law, I..."
"Don't call me that, just call me sister. Your brother and I haven't reached that stage yet." Lu Mianmian felt uncomfortable when she heard the name "sister-in-law".
"...Sister." Ke Xiaomei immediately changed her words.
Lu Mianmian smiled and invited her to sit down at the table, and asked someone to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Xiaomei Ke was very reserved. She went up and took over the waiter's job, pouring tea for her and Jian Si Ning.
Jian Si Ning had sharp eyes and noticed the wound on her wrist at a glance. He also saw that she swallowed the words that came to her lips several times, which showed that she had something to say.
"What do you want from me?" Lu Mianmian asked her purpose of coming.
Little sister Ke then spoke uneasily: "Sister, my mother and second brother asked me to come to you. They wanted me to say something nice to you and coax you back."
"What does Ke Shiqiang mean? Why did you come to see me? Didn't I say I'm busy recently?"
Xiaomei Ke buried her head and picked her nails back and forth, with a conflicted look on her face, as if she was having a psychological struggle with herself.
When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears. She looked around vigilantly for a few times before lowering her voice: "Sister, don't go to my house. My mother and my brother want to harm you."
"What did you say?" Lu Mianmian and Jian Sining exchanged surprised looks.
Xiaomei Ke told the two men about their plan, which she had overheard at home.
It turned out that Ke Shiqiang was afraid that Lu Mianmian would change her mind after going to college, so he came up with the idea of making it a fait accompli with her first.
After taking Lu Mianmian back and giving her some anesthetic to make her unconscious, the two of them went to the bridal chamber and immediately went to the Lu family to propose marriage.
In this way, Lu Mianmian had no choice but to marry Ke Shiqiang.
After hearing what Ke Xiaomei said, Lu Mianmian was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time.
Jian Si Ning was not too surprised: "Were the injuries on your body caused by your family members?"
Little sister Ke nodded timidly: "Sister is good to me, I can't hurt her."
Jian Sining nodded silently. Okay, I will temporarily take back what I said before: "It is difficult for a bad bamboo to produce good bamboo shoots."
This girl with a rough face but a clean voice is a good bamboo shoot.
"What are you going to do?" Jian Sining asked Lu Mianmian.
Lu Mianmian thought about it carefully and decided that the most direct way would be to try to expose them and then fall out with them.
But considering that Ke Shiqiang had done her a favor and her parents liked him very much, if Lu Mianmian did something too drastic, she would definitely be accused of repaying kindness with enmity.
Jian Si Ning saw through her thoughts and said calmly, "Favor is favor, and they can't repay the favor. Repaying a favor doesn't necessarily mean giving yourself to her. You can also make financial compensation. If this man really has such dirty plans, you must not accept him."
Lu Mianmian nodded: "I have already thought about what to do..."
The next day, Lu Mianmian went to the Ke family on time as usual. When the Ke family saw her, they were as proud as expected under their hypocritical appearance.
"Mianmian, you're here? My mother cooked your favorite dishes. How about I treat you to a movie after dinner?" Ke Shiqiang walked forward attentively and pulled out a chair for her, like a gentleman.
Lu Mianmian pretended to know nothing and acted out the "family harmony" drama with the Ke family.
Halfway through the meal, Ke Shiqiang's sister-in-law came back.
Since the eldest daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home last time, no one from the Ke family has come to pick her up. She was angry for two days at first, and then she started to panic. What if the Ke family really didn't want her and the baby in her belly?
So at her father's urging, she came back on her own.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the Ke family members eating dinner around Lu Mianmian. The table was full of delicious food, more sumptuous than that during the Chinese New Year.
Especially when she saw the pot of pigeon soup in the middle of the table, her eyes instantly turned red, and she could no longer suppress the grievance and jealousy in her heart.
"Well, you are such a nasty family! You eat and drink well at home as soon as I leave. Are you deliberately guarding against me?"
