Chapter 57 You're Really Good at Showmanship
As Old Lady Cen had requested, Cen Yan marinated the remaining half chicken and placed it in the main room of the house to prevent it from being placed in the kitchen and stolen.
Today, with Old Lady Cen watching over her, she only had a bowl of chicken soup and didn't get a single piece of meat.
Naturally, Cen Yan shared the bowl of chicken soup with Li and Cen Yang. After they finished drinking it, she brought out another bowl of chicken and shared it with Li and Cen Yang.
Because they had eaten the meat yesterday, Li and Cen Yang just thought that the meat was taken out of the pot. No one suspected anything and they all had a hearty meal.
As for Cen Dahai, he was unable to eat while in a coma. Fortunately, he had the spiritual spring water to replenish himself, so he did not starve to death due to lack of food.
After everything was packed up, Cen Yan went back to his room to rest and then continued to go into the space.
Although the thatched hut is small, it has everything needed.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, everything is available.
Cen Yan opened the lid of the pot and smiled gently as she looked at the half chicken stewed in the stove.
Food stored in the space will never go bad overnight and will always remain fresh. This half chicken is enough for their second room to have several lunches.
It’s a pity that today the half chicken was placed under the nose of Old Mrs. Cen, and it would not be easy to take it away again.
Besides, doing this once is enough.
If it happens again, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Most importantly, the commotion caused by this half chicken has far exceeded expectations.
Gao's status in front of Old Lady Cen and Old Man Cen is no longer secure. Even if these two elders will continue to value the Great House because of Cen Han, at least she suffered a severe setback this time, which is still worth celebrating.
This time it was Yu who caused Gao to fall into trouble. Given Gao's vengeful personality, she will definitely not let Yu go.
As long as Gao seizes the opportunity, there will definitely be another lively scene.
In short, the more fiercely the Cen family fights, the more beneficial it will be to her plan to divide the family.
…
…
Cen Shuang went out early in the morning, and after meeting Wei Zan, she went to talk to her little sisters.
When she returned home, the excitement had long since died down.
As soon as Yu saw her daughter coming back, she hurriedly pulled her to the table to eat, and told her daughter how Gao had stolen half a chicken from home yesterday and was severely punished by Old Lady Cen.
Cen Shuang was naturally happy that the Gao family was in trouble.
As soon as she came back and heard such good news, Cen Shuang ate her lunch happily, chatted with Yu about the bad things about the first and second wives for a while, and then went to bed for a nap.
She never did much housework, and just ate and slept every day.
But she didn't sleep well today because she kept thinking about Wei Zan asking her out tomorrow.
I don’t know what Wei Zan wants her to do?
But no matter what, this was the first time he asked to meet her alone, so she had to dress up well.
So, Cen Shuang simply jumped out of bed, opened the box where she kept her clothes, and began to rummage around until she found the light blue jacket that she usually didn't want to wear. Only then did she lie down on the bed with satisfaction, waiting for the meal to finish.
But I didn’t expect that someone else would come to visit before dinner was ready.
Cen Shuang heard Wei Zan's voice with her sharp ears and thought he was looking for her, so she happily changed her clothes and rushed out of the house.
"Wei——"
Before she could even call out "Brother Wei Zan", she saw Wei Zan looking at Cen Yan affectionately.
Cen Shuang's face suddenly turned gloomy.
At this time, Cen Yan, who was listening to Wei Zan's affectionate confession, also had a gloomy face.
It’s just that Cen Shuang was jealous, while Cen Yan was disgusted and unhappy!
"Xiaoyan, I know you must be upset these days because you were slandered by people in the village, saying that you spent the night with another man in the mountains... What I want to tell you is that whether it is true or not, I don't care! You and I are already engaged, and we will share weal and woe. No matter how people outside talk about you, I will definitely fulfill my promise to marry you! I will never regret it!" Wei Zan stood at the door of Lao Cen's house and said loudly.
His words successfully disgusted Cen Yan once again!
What kind of nonsense is this?
He didn't think about Cen Yan's innocence at all. Instead, he just kept boasting about how responsible and great he was, just like last time...
He even seemed to be implicitly warning Cen Yan that they were engaged, and as long as he didn't give in, Cen Yan would have to marry him in this life!
"What do you mean by saying this? Do you want others to know that you don't despise me, so I have to be grateful to you? But let me tell you, I, Cen Yan, am innocent and don't need you to care about me! Whether you care or not has nothing to do with me!" Cen Yan really couldn't bear it anymore and started to retort.
Last time, in order not to alert Wei Zan and arouse his vigilance, she allowed him to demonstrate her deep and undying love for her.
But this time, her lifelong innocence was at stake. How could she let him do such harm in public?
"Xiaoyan, why do you say that?" Wei Zan seemed surprised that not only was she not moved by his words, but she seemed to have taken a choke. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"Is it wrong for me to say that? Don't think I don't know what you mean! Don't you just doubt me? You don't believe me at all. If you believe in me, you wouldn't say you don't care openly while secretly confirming that my innocence is at risk. Instead, you wouldn't have to say anything. Just act like usual and it would be better than any words... Wei Zan, you are really good at putting on a show!" Cen Yan frowned angrily and started to talk back.
After she said this, she felt extremely happy.
She exposed Wei Zan's true face in this way, regardless of whether others could see it clearly or not. She didn't believe that Wei Zan would not understand!
I was always afraid that if we fell out now, it would be harder to get rid of him.
But today Cen Yan discovered that she was wrong.
Wei Zan is like a piece of dog-skin ointment, it is not so easy to get rid of it!
I'm afraid that even if she maintains a peaceful relationship with him during this period, he will never agree easily when he earns enough money to cancel the engagement in the future!
It would be better to just break up!
"Wei Zan, let me tell you, you are such a hypocritical villain. Just because of your behavior of deliberately smearing your fiancée's reputation, I would rather die than marry you!" Cen Yan said loudly.
Because Wei Zan showed his affection again today, the neighbors stopped cooking and ran over to watch the fun.
Originally, everyone was deeply moved by Wei Zan.
But at this moment, after hearing Cen Yan's clear and logical remarks, his opinion of Wei Zan changed a little.
"Cen Yan is right. This Wei Zan seems to have bad intentions. If he really believed in Cen Yan, why would he publicize it so loudly, as if he was afraid that no one would hear it? The more he shouts that he doesn't care, the more he actually cares in his heart, and the less he believes in Cen Yan!"
