Chapter 17 Chapter 17 That Kind of Thing
After returning home, Li Guifen told Shu Niannian about this incident as a joke. Shu Niannian laughed after hearing it. She didn't think that Li Guifen was seeing things. Maybe that person was Lu Jianjun.
The big gold bracelet and the delicious hotpot made Shu Meilan unable to sit still.
It seems that it is time to close the net.
After dinner that night, Shu Niannian closed the door and whispered that Shu Meilan and Lu Jianjun were having an affair. Shu Wenhui was furious when he heard this and picked up his weapon to go find Lu Jianjun to settle the score.
Li Guifen stopped him and asked Shu Niannian what was going on.
Shu Niannian sighed, if something really happened, it would still be her mother who could keep the situation stable.
But Shu Niannian didn't know what to say about this matter. She couldn't tell others about her rebirth, nor could she say that it was just her guess. After thinking it over, Shu Niannian just lied and said that she had a dream.
"Half a month ago, Shu Meilan and her second aunt Yang Guihua tricked me into going to the county town to find a blind date for Shu Meilan. I suddenly felt very tired halfway through the trip, so I leaned against a tree to rest. Who would have thought that in just a dozen minutes, I actually had a dream. In the dream, our family's miserable life started from that time. Shu Meilan and Yang Guihua's request for me to find a blind date for Shu Meilan was a lie, and their real intention was to ruin me. The blind date for Shu Meilan was a second-rate guy they had arranged long ago. If I had gone there that day, Yang Guihua would have slandered me, saying that the second-rate guy had ruined my innocence, and forced me to break off my engagement with Lu Jianjun. After I broke off my engagement with Lu Jianjun, Shu Meilan would marry Lu Jianjun in my place. After that, I was forced to marry that second-rate guy, and they tortured me beyond recognition. My eldest brother was imprisoned for stealing, my parents were so angry that they damaged their health, and my second brother was hit by a car and thrown into the river, and I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. But Shu Meilan lived a happy life."
Shu Niannian briefly summarized the events of her past life. Whenever she thought of those events, her mood would become very heavy. After several breaths, Shu Niannian temporarily suppressed the pain in her heart. She looked at Shu Wenhui and Li Guifen with red eyes and asked them, "Mom, big brother, do you believe us? I think those things in the dream are true. Shu Meilan and Second Aunt Yang Guihua really want to harm me."
Li Guifen was so distressed that she quickly hugged Shu Niannian to comfort her, saying repeatedly, "Believe it! Believe it! Mother believes it!"
She really believed that if her poor Nian Nian had not had the dream that day and had been rescued from the clutches of Yang Guihua and her daughter, she couldn't imagine what situation Nian Nian would be in now!
No wonder Nian Nian seemed like a different person since that day.
Shu Wenhui looked at Shu Niannian, who was lying in Li Guifen's arms with red eyes and tears, and felt very distressed. He sighed, "Fortunately, you will be getting married to Lu Jianjun at the end of the year. As long as we are on guard against them during this period, they will be helpless after you, Lu Jianjun, get married."
Li Guifen didn't say anything. Her intuition told her that this matter was not that simple.
Sure enough, Shu Niannian retorted, "This is the second thing I want to tell you today. I will not marry Lu Jianjun."
Shu Wenhui's brain was so shocked that it didn't work well.
"I just said that Shu Meilan and Lu Jianjun are having an affair. I am not just guessing. Ever since I had that dream, I have been thinking about the past these days and I can see through many things. Mom, the person you saw tonight is most likely Lu Jianjun. He came to our village, but he didn't come to see me. Who do you think he will go to see?"
Li Guifen was also angry. Although their family was poor, Shu Niannian was the darling who was raised in her arms. How could she tolerate her beloved little sweetheart being treated badly by others like this?
But she couldn't easily say that she wanted to break off the engagement. It wasn't that she was vain or greedy for the Lu family's money, but from her cold perspective, she thought Lu Jianjun was a good boy, good-looking, knowledgeable, and well-educated.
Li Guifen smoothed Shu Niannian's hair and asked her, "What if Lu Jianjun changes his ways? That Shu Meilan is a man of few tricks. Lu Jianjun is young after all. If she deliberately seduces him, Lu Jianjun might..."
Before Li Guifen finished her words, she was interrupted by Shu Niannian, "Mom, it's just like my second uncle is obsessed with our old hen. There is no such thing as being on guard against thieves. Even if Lu Jianjun and I get married, will Shu Meilan stop trying to seduce him just because he's married? Besides, if Lu Jianjun doesn't have that idea, how could he be seduced away even if Shu Meilan seduces him?"
"Then why did you accept the big gold bracelet from Grandma Lu? Since you already know that they are together, you should just cancel the engagement. Why do I see you acting so happy these days, telling everyone about how generous the Lu family is?" Shu Wenhui was puzzled.
Shu Niannian smiled and said, "If I don't wear the big gold bracelet to show off everywhere, how can Shu Meilan be desperate? Even if I have to cancel the engagement, I have to stand on the moral high ground and cancel the engagement. I can't let Shu Meilan get away with it so easily."
That night, after Shu Niannian told everything, she asked Shu Wenhui to keep an eye on Shu Meilan's movements. Who knows, she might catch them in bed together.

Shu Meilan had a particularly bad time in the past few days. She watched Shu Niannian wandering around with a big gold bracelet, and felt that the wealth and glory in her dreams were slowly drifting away from her. In her dreams, she was surrounded by people when she went out, and was picked up by luxury cars. She would not accept an emerald bracelet that was not imperial green. Her diamond ring had to be a big one, the legendary pigeon egg one, and she had several of them in her dressing box. Pink diamonds, yellow diamonds, white diamonds, these luxury goods that she had never heard of in reality, but in her dream, she had them all.
How could she give up such a luxurious life? !
So, when her cheap stepfather once again lost money and scolded her at home for not being able to find a rich man to marry, she told Shu Guoqiang that she also wanted to marry Lu Jianjun!
Shu Guoqiang glanced at Shu Meilan and said that she was wishful thinking. "Lu Jianjun was engaged to Shu Niannian when he was still in his mother's womb. How could you possibly marry Lu Jianjun? Besides, you are yellow and even though you have a lot of flesh on your chest, you definitely have no chance of winning. As a man, who doesn't like good-looking girls?"
Anyway, if it were him, he would not choose Shu Meilan. Just playing with her would be fine, but marrying her home is another matter!
Hearing Shu Guoqiang say this, Shu Meilan's face turned red with anger. How could she be so wishful thinking? !
In the dream she often had, she was the protagonist, the one favored by even God. Although she was not beautiful, wasn't Lu Jianjun still fascinated by her and lost his way?
Who says that women have to be beautiful to tie a man down? !
She has her own methods.
Shu Meilan looked at the bare house that Shu Guoqiang had lost, then looked at Shu Guoqiang who was sitting on the ground like a pile of mud drinking, and the concrete wall with broken glass stuck on it. Shu Meilan felt that she could not wait any longer. She didn't know when it started, but everything in real life was slowly becoming different from the scenes in her dreams. She had to do something, otherwise, the wealthy life that was within her reach might turn into a bubble and disappear.
Whenever Shu Meilan thought of this possibility, she felt anxious.
She mustered up the courage to kick Shu Guoqiang who was swinging the wine bottle. Shu Guoqiang immediately glared at her and said fiercely, "You are a cheap commodity that no one wants. Do you want to die? How dare you kick me!"
Shu Guoqiang was so angry that he stood up and waved his fist to hit Shu Meilan. Shu Meilan was so scared that her legs went limp, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Do you want to be rich?"
"I can make you rich. As long as I marry Lu Jianjun, I can give you a lot of money, more than you can imagine."
Shu Meilan's eyes were shining, like a wild beast that had reached its end. Shu Guoqiang was very familiar with that look. He thought, maybe this cheap girl could really accomplish something?
Shu Guoqiang smiled, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"It's not difficult. You just need to go to Haicheng and call Lu Jianjun to me. I will do the rest myself."
"What should I say?"
"Just tell me that I'm dying and I want to see him before I die."
Shu Guoqiang looked at Shu Meilan meaningfully. He really didn't expect that Shu Meilan, who usually kept quiet, had actually hooked up with Lu Jianjun!
"Okay, that's easy!"
******
Lu Jianjun hurried over under the cover of night, wanting to see Shu Meilan and leave quickly. Unexpectedly, Shu Meilan was unwilling to see him at night, saying that it was too late and it was not good for the two of them to meet at night, fearing that it would cause rumors.
Lu Jianjun thought about it and it made sense. Shu Meilan had always been timid and fearful, so it was normal for her to worry about this. Besides, he was going to marry Shu Niannian at the end of the year, so it would be better for him to be more careful.
Alas, it’s all because he is too outstanding.
He has always known that Shu Meilan has a one-sided love for him. As long as it does not violate the principles of morality and ethics, he is willing to treat Shu Meilan like a sister, but marrying her is absolutely impossible for him.
After all, Shu Niannian is much better than Shu Meilan.
And the most important thing is that grandpa and grandma like Shu Niannian very much. They even promised to give Shu Niannian the pair of large golden bracelets with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns. It can be seen that they like Shu Niannian very much.
In Haicheng, everyone says that he is the young master of Haicheng, but only he himself knows that he is the young master, relying on his reclusive grandfather to support his status. He has to rely on his grandfather for everything, so of course he has to please his grandfather. His grandfather likes Shu Niannian as his grandson's wife, so he marries Shu Niannian as his wife.
Grandpa said that as long as Shu Niannian married into the family, the courtyard house in the center of Haicheng would immediately be transferred to him and Shu Niannian's name.
Thinking of the benefits he would get after marriage, Lu Jianjun smiled with satisfaction. He hurried to the residence prepared for him by Shu Guoqiang, thinking that after seeing Shu Meilan for the last time early tomorrow morning, he would immediately return to Haicheng and wait to marry Shu Niannian at the end of the year.
But he didn't expect that he was just sitting beside Shu Meilan's bed and talking to her a few more words, but while chatting, he actually did that kind of thing to Shu Meilan? !
