Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Tit for tat 1
Shu Meilan shook the big gold bracelet on her hand and smiled maliciously, "Ah! I know, cousin! Did you fail to get into college, so you asked my poor and powerless brother-in-law to find you a handyman job?"
Shu Meilan covered her mouth and laughed, "Cousin, they say it's better to marry well than to be good-looking. This is absolutely true. You see, you look better than me, but so what? I married Brother Jianjun, and Brother Jianjun obeyed me in everything. He bought me whatever I wanted. Look at this gold necklace of mine. This is the new model of Lao Fengxiang this year. I told Brother Jianjun that I liked this style, and he asked the clerk to pack it for me without blinking an eye. Cousin, they say that getting married is a woman's second reincarnation. It seems that you didn't choose the right person for your second reincarnation. I married Brother Jianjun, and Brother Jianjun only let me be responsible for shopping. He didn't even let me do housework. Look at me, look at yourself, no matter how beautiful you are, what can you do? My future cousin-in-law, who has no money and power, can only find you a job serving tea and water, not to mention buying gold bracelets and gold necklaces. "Is he reluctant to buy you even a new piece of clothing? Look at what you are wearing? Coarse cloth clothes and coarse cloth shoes, wow, so shabby!"
Shu Niannian: ...
Seeing Shu Meilan's smug look, she had the urge to tear her mouth apart, but Shu Niannian held back. Zhang Chunyang and Li Ruyu wanted to stand up for her, but were stopped by Shu Niannian.
She didn't want any complications before she married Ye Jinhong.
Shu Niannian smiled. Even though she was wearing coarse linen clothes, who could blame her for her natural beauty?
She was wearing coarse cloth, but she was much more beautiful than Shu Meilan, who was wearing silk and gold bracelets.
Shu Meilan said so much, her purpose was to make Shu Niannian angry, and then feel jealous and envious of her. But Shu Niannian was not angry, instead she smiled?
Shu Meilan gnashed her teeth in anger, but she didn't want to lose face, so she started to add fuel to the fire again, "Cousin, how about this, you come with me, don't work as a waitress here, after all, you are my cousin, to be honest, if Brother Jianjun's relatives knew that I have a cousin working as a waitress in Haicheng, I would feel ashamed, you come with me, I will let Brother Jianjun arrange a job as a nanny for you, although being a nanny is also a job of serving people, but at least you only serve one family, you don't have to show up in public, let alone cause me to be talked about by relatives, if all else fails, you come home with me, be my family's nanny, and serve me exclusively, I will give you double the amount you are offered here, what do you think?"
After Shu Meilan finished this conversation, she felt relaxed all over. Yes, this was the feeling she enjoyed in her dream.
She suppressed Shu Niannian, despised Shu Niannian, and made Shu Niannian submit to her like a dog.
Shu Niannian crossed her arms and looked at Shu Meilan as if she was a fool. It was strange. Why did Shu Meilan only remember to eat and not to be beaten?
Every time Shu Meilan came to provoke her, she would swing a big stick and beat Shu Meilan up. Why did this guy still enjoy coming to her to show off his presence?
Forget it. Since Shu Meilan has already challenged her, wouldn’t it be unfair to her if she didn’t give Shu Meilan a good scolding?
Seeing that Shu Niannian didn't speak for a long time, Shu Meilan thought that Shu Niannian was afraid of her. Shu Meilan gathered her ramen head and was about to add fuel to the fire, but Shu Niannian started talking at this time, and what she said was particularly unpleasant.
"I remember I told you to hold on to what you have and hide it well. I will not hesitate to take the family background and men that you think are extremely rare. You pick up the things I don't want and treat them as treasures. You should hide them well and don't let them see it. Don't show off in front of me, otherwise, be careful that your treasure will fly away."
Shu Niannian's voice was obviously not loud, and she didn't do anything, but Shu Meilan felt that Shu Niannian was slapping her in the face. She was now married to Lu Jianjun, and since she took on the title of Mrs. Lu, she had never been spoken to like this to her face!
Shu Meilan was so angry that she was gasping for breath, but she was a person who liked to pretend to be weak, and her green tea attribute made her only be able to do things that were typical of a green tea girl.
Shu Meilan was seen with tears in her eyes, holding her pregnant belly with one hand and her chest with the other. She looked at Lu Jianjun who was standing beside her with a lot of bags, and sobbed, "Brother Jianjun, you see, I just saw that my cousin was having a hard time and wanted to help her. I didn't expect that she would misunderstand me like this. Brother Jianjun, is it because Meilan didn't do well enough?"
Shu Niannian watched her performance quietly. To be honest, if she was watching a TV series, she would want to applaud Shu Meilan. Her expressions and movements were just like the bullied little white flower. She looked plain, but she was a good actor. Her sparse eyebrows were wrinkled into a shape of an eight, and the corners of her mouth were drooped. She looked like she was about to cry, and anyone who saw her would think that it was Shu Niannian who bullied Shu Meilan.
But she clearly didn't do anything. It was Shu Meilan who came up to her and provoked her first.
Following Shu Meilan's gaze, Shu Niannian also looked at Lu Jianjun, who had been silent. Until now, Shu Niannian still remembered that Lu Jianjun said that he was mentally controlled by Shu Meilan. At that time, Lu Jianjun was like a puppet that had not been fully refined, but now, Lu Jianjun has become the perfect male protagonist for Shu Meilan.
Facing Shu Meilan's grievance, Lu Jianjun felt extremely distressed. He quickly put down the bags in his hands, gently held Shu Meilan in his arms, wiped the tears that Shu Meilan had finally squeezed out, and turned to scold Shu Niannian, "Meilan is kind-hearted. She couldn't bear to see you working as a handyman in this store, so she suggested to find you a better job. I didn't expect you to be so vicious. It would be fine if you didn't appreciate it, but you even spoke ill of her. Meilan is really blind. How could she still think of helping a cousin like you?!"
There was contempt, disdain, anger, and heartache for Shu Meilan in Lu Jianjun's eyes. He looked at Shu Niannian as if he was looking at an extremely disgusted stranger, as if he had completely forgotten everything that happened between them before. He was now a standard male protagonist in a novel, rich, handsome, and only had eyes for the green tea heroine. No matter what the green tea girl did, he thought she was right and would defend her with all his might.
Shu Niannian had figured out one thing before. The reason why she was so miserable in her previous life was because she did not take the initiative to break off the engagement with Lu Jianjun. Now, thinking back, her disaster ended after she broke off the engagement with Lu Jianjun.
In this life, she took the initiative to draw a clear line between herself and Lu Jianjun. Not only did she not become a cannon fodder in the love story of the hero and heroine, which resulted in her reputation being ruined and her family being broken up, but she even went smoothly on her entrepreneurial journey.
As long as she doesn't get involved in the love between Shu Meilan and Lu Jianjun, and let Shu Meilan and Lu Jianjun live together, she can save herself from the fate of being cannon fodder and keep herself out of trouble.
Even if she went against Lu Jianjun and Shu Meilan, it didn't matter.
Their halo as the protagonist only shines on the relationships between them and does not take their career paths into account.
Shu Niannian looked at Shu Meilan, who was domineering and pretending to be weak, and Lu Jianjun, who was domineering and protective of his wife, and suddenly she felt very good. She felt that Lu Jianjun and Shu Meilan were a good match. Let them love each other forever. In the words of later generations, it would be better to lock them up and stop them from causing trouble for others!
Thinking of this, Shu Niannian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Since the setting of this book is that as long as the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is not touched, there will be no backlash if the male and female protagonists are weakened, how could she miss this opportunity to weaken them?
Shu Niannian tucked the loose hair on her cheeks behind her ears and said with a smile, "First, Shu Meilan is no longer my cousin. After you two had an affair without a matchmaker, my grandfather felt that Shu Meilan had ruined the family tradition of the Shu family, so he removed Shu Meilan from the Shu family tree. Shu Meilan was not a member of the Shu family to begin with. She followed my second aunt to remarry into my Shu family and changed her surname to Shu. She and I have no blood relationship to begin with. After Shu Meilan was kicked out of the family, you really don't have to rush to recognize her as your relative. Second, what kind of life I lead, whether I am a waiter who sweeps the floor or a big boss who runs a company, is my own business. I don't need your sympathy and I don't welcome you to take advantage of me. You really don't have to rush to laugh at me when you see me wearing coarse cloth clothes. Maybe what you see is not true. Maybe you think I am a waiter who does rough work, but I am actually the boss of this store?!"
Shu Niannian's voice was clear and pleasant, but Shu Meilan felt that her words were like a needle piercing her heart.
She just wanted to help Shu Niannian because she saw how poorly she was dressed. However, she didn't expect that Shu Niannian not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also brought up her and Lu Jianjun's shameful past in such an occasion.
Yes, unbearable!
Even though she is now married to Lu Jianjun, the wedding she dreams of is one in which Shu Niannian becomes a brokenhearted woman and breaks off the engagement, Lu Jianjun demands that the Shu family fulfill the marriage contract, and that old man Shu Chengzu holds a generous dowry and begs her to marry Lu Jianjun on behalf of Shu Niannian, rather than having an affair with Lu Jianjun without a matchmaker and being forced to follow Lu Jianjun after being kicked out of the house.
Not being able to marry Lu Jianjun as gloriously as in her dreams has always been an unspeakable pain in Shu Niannian's heart! How dare Shu Niannian make this matter public in public? !
If this matter gets out, how will she be able to gain a foothold in Haicheng in the future?
Shu Meilan's fingernail broke in her palm. "Cousin, I really want to help you. How can you be so vicious? You said such heartbreaking words when I was pregnant? Brother Jianjun and I are truly in love. Others don't understand, but don't you understand? We are sisters who grew up together! Woo, cousin, I know you hate me and blame me for taking Brother Jianjun away, but you shouldn't slander me like this. Grandpa just didn't think straight for a while, so he said he wanted to kick me out of the house. After I give birth to the child, I will take the child to see him and bring him more supplements. He will definitely forgive me! Although I am not a child of the Shu family, Grandpa also loves me. I am not an ungrateful person. Now that I am married to Brother Jianjun, I have the ability to repay him. I will definitely treat him as my own grandfather and be filial to him! Cousin, no matter what you think of me, I have always regarded you as my cousin, but there is only one Brother Jianjun, and I will never give him to you!"
Shu Meilan cried as she spoke, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Shu Niannian observed coldly and realized that, well, she was really crying this time, not just squeezing out two tears for show. It seemed that the words she had just said really touched the unspeakable pain in Shu Meilan's heart?
It seems that not being able to marry Lu Jianjun legitimately is indeed Shu Meilan's knot. Shu Niannian was studying Shu Meilan's tears when she heard Shu Meilan say that she would never give Lu Jianjun to her. Shu Niannian was frightened and waved her hands quickly, "I won't snatch Lu Jianjun from you. Please make sure to take good care of him! Don't worry, as long as you don't provoke me, I will never take the initiative to appear in front of you. I am very satisfied with my current life. I don't need relief or pity. Please live your own life and don't get close to me. To be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with you at all."
However, this wish is destined not to come true. Shu Niannian is with Ye Jinhong now, and when she marries Ye Jinhong in the future, she will inevitably meet these two people.
Shu Niannian shook her head helplessly and thought, what a sin!
Shu Niannian thought that after she said so much, Shu Meilan would definitely give up and let her go. However, Shu Meilan was the kind of person who only remembered the treats but not the punishments. She was humiliated in front of her every time, but she never learned her lesson.
After just a few words, Shu Meilan had calmed down and started a new round of performance. She wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly, "How can that be, cousin? You are my only cousin, how can I not visit you? After my child is born, I will invite you to my home as a guest. Don't worry, I won't take your gift money. When you leave after dinner, I can also pack your favorite roast chicken for you. You will definitely not come in vain. Of course, since you don't want to accept my and brother Jianjun's kindness in finding you a new job, we won't force you. I will often patronize this store in the future and buy more things in this store. Cousin, I will ask the boss to put the commission into your account to increase your income."
Shu Meilan's words seemed to be concerned about Shu Niannian, but her words made people feel uncomfortable, as if she was a sentimental rich lady who was condescendingly giving Shu Niannian some alms. This was Shu Meilan's usual tactic. People who didn't think deeply about it might think that Shu Meilan was not good at speaking, but they would never doubt Shu Meilan's kindness.
Shu Niannian met Shu Meilan's provocative eyes and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will definitely go to see your child when he is born. Thank you for spending money in our store. As long as you are not inappropriate to cause trouble, we welcome you."
What should I do?
There's no way to avoid it.
After all, the person she is going to marry is Ye Jinhong, and Ye Jinhong is Lu Jianjun's uncle. Mrs. Lu, Shu Meilan's wife, is not from a legitimate background, but she is the legitimate aunt of Shu Meilan and Lu Jianjun!
When a younger generation gives birth to a child, she, as an elder, must go and see it.
