Chapter 69 Their good days are coming to an end

What did the matchmaker go to Mai Miao's house for? Was she also going to match her up?

Thinking of this, He Shanshan suddenly raised a schadenfreude on her lips. Didn't this stinky girl just laugh at her? Now she wanted to see what kind of guy the matchmaker would introduce to her.

But no matter what kind of guy she introduced, she would embarrass her and make her unable to laugh again.

If the man was ugly, she could laugh at her with a clear conscience, a tortoise and a tortoise, a toad and a toad.

If the man was good-looking and had a good family, He Shanshan's eyes rolled around and a bad idea immediately came to her mind:

she would snatch him away and make him the laughing stock of the whole courtyard.

In terms of appearance, she never took Mai Miao seriously. Even though she was now able to dress up and looked good, she thought it was just a superficial appearance.

Mai Miao had her back to the door and didn't know the matchmaker had come to her house. She only saw He Shanshan laugh after scolding her, so she was naturally unhappy.

Thinking of the last time He Shanshan used her appearance to attack her and made her cry, now that she knows how to dress up, she has become prettier and more confident, so she won't be angered by her words like last time. She only heard her say with great disdain:

"He Shanshan, every day you either say this is ugly or that is ugly. People who are truly good-looking won't talk about beauty and ugliness all the time. Just like Qingxing, she is much prettier than you. Why doesn't she do the same as you, belittling this and that? No matter how good-looking you are, if you have a bad heart, no one will like you."

After saying this, Xia Qingxing unconsciously wanted to applaud her. She always felt that dressing up nicely was just to make herself happier and more confident, not to compare with others, let alone to please others.

Of course, she did have a purpose in dressing up Mai Miao, but she only created an opportunity for the man to notice her. Whether the two of them can be together in the end depends on their behavior and personality.

"It's ugly, so what? And you say a lot of nonsense to defend yourself, hum..." He Shanshan snorted contemptuously:

"So, I'm just prettier than you, more beautiful than you. My man, who doesn't like me, is even less likely to like you. Haha... just be jealous."

In fact, no matter how open-minded Mai Miao was, she was still very angry when she heard her derogatory words. She looked at He Shanshan angrily and wanted to continue arguing with her, but Xia Qingling on the side held her back, motioning her not to engage in useless verbal arguments with her, and said seriously:

"Don't listen to her, who knows who will be jealous of whom in the future."

Ha, the more arrogant He Shanshan's attitude is now, the more painful it will be when she is slapped in the face later!

At this moment, Li Qiulian's voice suddenly sounded outside the door:

"Mai Miao, come home soon."

Mai Miao turned around and saw her mother. She thought she was asking her to go home to cook, so she said,

"I'll come back to cook later. It's not time yet."

Li Qiulian wanted to say something, but she was a little worried. After hesitating for a while, she said,

"Someone is coming to my house. I have something to talk to you about."

Xia Qingli, who was standing by, heard this and guessed that the matchmaker must have gone to her house, otherwise Li Qiulian would not have come all the way to ask her to go home. So she patted Mai Miao on the shoulder and said,

"Go home soon. It might be something good."

"Huh, good news?" He Shanshan, who was standing by, said in a gloomy tone,

"What good things can happen to her? Even if good things happen, it won't be her turn."

She had already made up her mind that this time, she must embarrass Mai Miao, the stinky girl.

Seeing Li Qiulian waiting outside, Mai Miao didn't waste words with He Shanshan anymore. After telling Xia Qingxi that she would come to play with her next time,

she turned around and left. After Mai Miao left, He Shanshan glared at Xia Qingxi with resentment. Now that Lu Jingxie was back, she couldn't go to Xia Qingxi openly to cause trouble. She turned around and left .

When Xia Qingxi returned to the room, she found that Lu Jingxie had gone out. She probably went to the bathhouse to take a shower. She wanted to sleep now, but she didn't change her clothes or take a shower. She felt awkward in her heart.

She thought about it and decided to go outside to boil some hot water and take a bath first.

The coal stove boiled water slowly, and it took a long time for the water to boil. She washed her hair first, then carried the water into the room, took out the wooden basin, poured the water into it, then closed the door and began to take off her clothes.

After taking a bath, she finally felt comfortable. Originally, she did not buy underwear, so she used a traditional bellyband. She found one embroidered with lotus patterns and put it on. As soon as she tied the ropes on both sides, the door of the room suddenly opened.

The door bolt was originally loose, and it became even looser after Lu Jingzhen pushed it hard last time. It should have slid down by itself, so when Lu Jingzhen pushed it, the door opened by itself.

The girl in front of him was facing away from him. Her hair was a little wet and scattered around her slender neck. Her smooth back outlined her graceful figure, with slightly protruding butterfly bones and a slender waist that could be held in one hand. She was beautiful in every way. A thin red rope was tied around her waist, which was as white as porcelain, making her look extremely tempting.

The charming spring scene in this room made even Lu Jingzhen, who was calm, feel his face getting hot unconsciously. After saying "sorry", he quickly closed the door and left quickly.

It happened too suddenly. By the time Xia Qingying reacted, Lu Jingzhen had already left. She didn't feel too ashamed, as she had only exposed her back.

But after all, they were not a real couple. In order to avoid such embarrassment from happening again, after getting dressed, she found a rope and tied one end to the bed frame and the other end to the nail next to the window. She also took out a thin sheet from the cabinet and put it on the rope.

Soon, a private space was separated, which would be much more convenient for changing clothes in the future.

She had just finished taking a shower and her body was still warm. The room was very hot and stuffy, so she opened the window. When she opened the door, she saw Lu Jingchen coming back. He took a hammer and some nails in his hand and quickly fixed the broken bolt.

Perhaps because they felt embarrassed, both of them tacitly did not mention the glimpse of spring scenery just now.

But when Lu Jingchen's eyes fell on the curtains Xia Qingxi had made, they paused for a moment, which was obviously a sign of avoiding suspicion. His eyes sank, and for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

"Are you free this weekend?" Lu Jingchen put away his emotions, broke the awkward silence, and asked.

Xia Qingxi guessed that he must have something to tell her, and answered truthfully:

"I am free."

Lu Jingchen hesitated for a moment and said:

"When the time comes, we'll go to a department store and you can help pick out some clothes, and then we'll go to the western suburbs together."

After Lu Jingzhen said this, he realized that his tone sounded like an order. Thinking that Xia Qingling was not his orderly, he added two more words out of habit:

"Okay?"

"Okay, okay." Xia Qingling was a little uncomfortable with his politeness, but she was still confused in her heart, who was he going to meet and why did he bring her along.

As the two were talking, a rough male voice suddenly sounded outside the yard, with an undisguised joy in the voice, calling out hurriedly:

"Mom, Mom..."

Xia Qingxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Lidong and Yao Hongmei entering the yard one after the other, both with happy expressions on their faces.

She had already made a guess in her mind, and sure enough, the next second she heard Lu Lidong happily say to Wang Mingfang who came out to greet her:

"Mom, Hongmei is pregnant."

Hearing this, Xia Qingxi curled her lips. It won't be long before she can help her original body clear the bad reputation of "bed climbing". The good days of Wang Mingfang and her son are coming to an end.
