Chapter 70: Each with His Own Thoughts
There were about six or seven customers and shopping guides in the store. When they heard Jiang Lanya's angry loud voice, they all cast gossipy glances at her.
Chen Yun felt embarrassed and immediately distanced herself from Jiang Lan Ya. She lowered her voice and said with a sullen face, "Jiang Lan Ya, just give up on that idea. Even if my son divorces Shen Qing Huan, he will never marry Li Ming Zhu!"
After a pause, she added, "To be honest with you, I despise that girl from the Li family. I don't agree with them being together!"
Jiang Lanya choked hard and her face turned pale with anger.
Before she could say anything, Chen Yun had already walked outside.
Jiang Lanya was anxious and quickly reached out to Chen Yun, saying sarcastically, "Do you think Jiang Yu is still the same as before? If he really wants to be with Mingzhu, do you think you can stop him?"
Chen Yun paused, turned around and glared at Jiang Lanya.
But before she could say anything, Jiang Lan Ya boasted incomparably proudly, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Ayu is almost 30 years old, and you still want to ask about everything. Do you really think Ayu will be happy? I won't hide it from you, Ayu just likes Mingzhu. If that bitch hadn't schemed against him back then, Ayu would have married Mingzhu long ago. As for whether you, as a mother, agree or not, Ayu doesn't care at all."
"Jiang Lanya!"
Chen Yun was so angry that her face turned blue. She knew that her sister-in-law was stupid, but she didn't know she was so stupid!
Regarding her relationship with Li Zhao, could it be that Li Zhao really didn't want to marry her? The Jiang family's status in South City was one of the best. Even if Jiang Lan Ya was stupid, no one would dare to dislike her. It was just that the old man of the Jiang family looked down on Li Zhao! He would rather his only daughter remain single for her entire life than watch her fall into a trap.
But she actually wanted to help Li Mingzhu cheat her son, without even considering whether she had the intelligence to do it!
Seeing Chen Yun's gloomy face, Jiang Lanya felt very proud and continued in a fake tone, "Sister-in-law, why are you angry? I'm telling you the truth. Ah Yu likes Ming Zhu, but you may not know it yet! In order to see Li Ming Zhu every day, he even specially let Ming Zhu work in the general assistant office of our Jiang Corporation."
Chen Yun gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, and stared at Jiang Lanya intently, "Do you know why Li Zhao doesn't want to marry you?"
Jiang Lanya was stunned and looked at Chen Yun suspiciously, "Why?"
Chen Yun sneered and said, "Because your parents look down on Li Zhao, just like I look down on Li Mingzhu. They would rather you be an old woman for the rest of your life than marry Li Zhao."
"No, that's impossible! You're talking nonsense. My parents wouldn't do that. They wouldn't..."
Jiang Lanya suddenly felt dizzy, staggered, and became unsteady.
Chen Yun ignored Jiang Lanya and didn't even look at her again. She strode out.
Back in the car, she took out her cell phone from her bag and sent the footage she had taken to Jiang Yu's phone.
Chen Yun sat quietly in the car, her eyes as calm as still water.
No one knows that she has actually been hiding a secret in her heart, a huge secret. She has kept this secret for many years and she will keep it hidden forever. She will not let anyone know.
Because she doesn't want to die.
On the other side, after Shen Qinghuan and Zhou Sinian bought a gift for Zhou's mother, they went to a tea set store. She carefully selected and finally chose two teacups. She knew that Zhou's father loved drinking tea, and giving him teacups just catered to his preferences.
After the two came out of the tea shop, they went straight to Zhou's house in the suburbs.
It’s nearly an hour’s drive.
When they arrived, it was already past three in the afternoon.
In order to give his mother a surprise, Zhou Sinian did not tell her about Shen Qinghuan's arrival in advance.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
As soon as Shen Qinghuan got out of the car, she heard a coquettish yet unruly voice.
She was stunned for a moment and looked over in surprise.
It was a familiar face, with clear and lively eyes. Ren Shuyan? That should be her name! Shen Qinghuan thought to herself. She remembered it clearly. She met Zhou Sinian in the teahouse that afternoon. Later, a girl came to him, claiming to be his girlfriend, and told her that her name was Ren Shuyan...
"Shuyan! What's with that attitude?"
Fearing that Shen Qinghuan would be targeted by Ren Shuyan, Zhou Sinian quickly stepped forward to protect her.
Ren Shuyan bit her lower lip and sniffed pitifully. Her eyes were full of tears as she stared at Zhou Sinian without blinking. Her voice was soft and she said, "Brother Sinian, you, you are so mean to me for an outsider?!"
Zhou Sinian frowned even more tightly when he heard this.
Shen Qinghuan quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes, shook her head almost imperceptibly and said, "I'm fine."
Ren Shuyan secretly rolled her eyes and muttered softly: "Haha! You're okay?! I'd never believe you're okay!"
Zhou Sinian didn't listen to Shen Qinghuan, and scolded Ren Shuyan with a sullen face: "Your pretending to be pitiful is useless to me."
After saying that, he took Shen Qinghuan's hand and walked towards the living room.
Shen Qinghuan only felt her wrist tighten, and before she could come to her senses, Zhou Sinian had already pulled her forward.
Left standing there, Ren Shuyan was stunned. Why was she left standing there? What did that woman want to do? Was she trying to snatch Brother Si Nian from her? As soon as this thought popped into Ren Shuyan's mind, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She turned around and ran towards the living room.
She absolutely cannot let a woman of unknown origin snatch her brother Si Nian away!
But when she ran into the living room, she saw a scene that made her extremely depressed. Mother Zhou was holding Shen Qinghuan's hand warmly and intimately and saying something. Her eyes were even happier than when she looked at her.
Ren Shuyan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly ran forward, unnoticedly pushing Shen Qinghuan away from Mother Zhou and sitting down on top. "Auntie, Brother Si Nian finally came back. What are we having for dinner tonight?"
How could Mother Zhou not know what Ren Shuyan was thinking!
I know she likes Zhou Sinian, and I also know she's worried that Shen Qinghuan will snatch Zhou Sinian away...
Although she also likes Shen Qinghuan, she still likes Ren Shuyan more. After all, Ren Shuyan's father is the director of the hospital where Zhou Sinian works. If Zhou Sinian can marry Ren Shuyan, it will also help his future development.
It is said that a mother’s love for her child is far-sighted.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Mother Zhou asked Ren Shuyan with a smile.
Ren Shuyan hugged Mother Zhou's arm and acted coquettishly, "Auntie, you know I'm never picky about food. I'll eat whatever Aunt Li cooks."
Mother Zhou patted the back of her hand gently, then looked up at Shen Qinghuan, her expression still gentle, "Huanhuan, what do you want to eat?"
Shen Qinghuan was not stupid, and she could see what Zhou's mother was thinking, as well as Ren Shuyan, but she had never asked for too much.
The child marriage that her parents talked about when she was a child was just a joke at the time. Not to mention that she is married now, even if she is single now, she would not bring up the so-called "child marriage".
Shen Qinghuan collected her thoughts, raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Auntie, thank you for your kindness. I won't stay for dinner. My husband is waiting for me at home."
"Your husband?"
Both Mother Zhou and Ren Shuyan were stunned.
Shen Qinghuan smiled frankly, without hiding anything, "Yes! My husband, I have been married for several years."
"You, why are you getting married so early?" Mother Zhou's face was full of surprise, and her heart finally settled down. "What about your parents? How could they bear to see you get married so early?"
"My father died in a car accident more than ten years ago. Later, my mother..." Shen Qinghuan paused, her thick eyelashes drooping slightly, subtly hiding the embarrassment, "My mother remarried."
Zhou Sinian on the side could not help but frown, trying to stop Shen Qinghuan from continuing, but she quietly gave him a soothing look, and his heart could not help but ache.
Listening to Shen Qinghuan's words, Mother Zhou felt a little sad for a moment, "You must have suffered a lot, child!"
Shen Qinghuan smiled and shook her head and said, "Auntie, I'm doing well, and my husband treats me very well."
Mother Zhou sighed with emotion and said, "Time flies by! You're already married. Look at our Si Nian, he's already thirty... He and Shu Yan's wedding should be held before the end of this year! I just don't know if my body can hold on until I have a grandchild."
"Auntie, please don't say that! With the advanced technology today, you will definitely live a long life and will definitely see the birth of your child with Brother Si Nian."
Ren Shuyan quickly took over the conversation, her face full of shyness, but her eyes swept across Shen Qinghuan's delicate little face calmly.
On Shen Qinghuan's face, she couldn't see any sadness, nor any flattery, nor even a trace of sadness... Could it be that she was wrong? Ren Shuyan thought secretly in her heart.
Zhou Sinian's expression changed slightly. He had never expected that his mother would unilaterally announce his marriage to Ren Shuyan! He had always only regarded Ren Shuyan as a younger sister, and there was no love between men and women at all.
Moreover, when his parents first suggested that he marry Ren Shuyan, he clearly refused.
As Ren Shuyan spoke, she turned her head to look at Zhou Sinian beside her, her cheeks flushed.
"Brother Si Nian, can we get married sooner?"
"Si Nian, Shu Yan is a good child. You should know her feelings for you better than I do. I don't want you to let her down."
Without waiting for Zhou Sinian to respond, Mother Zhou spoke again with a smile.
Shen Qinghuan heard it clearly. Mother Zhou's tone was obviously unspeakably gentle, but she inexplicably felt that there was a threat in her tone, as if she was forcing Zhou Sinian to agree to his marriage with Ren Shuyan.
He glanced at Zhou Sinian out of the corner of his eye and felt a sense of sympathy for him for some reason.
Zhou Sinian's expression remained calm, "Mom, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Huanhuan is still here."
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Huanhuan is not a stranger. Huanhuan, your aunt has loved you since you were little and has always treated you like her own daughter. If you don't mind, come over and visit us often."
"Don't worry! Auntie, I will."
Although she knew that Mother Zhou was just being polite to her, Shen Qinghuan still agreed obediently.
As if she had thought of something, Mother Zhou quickly said, "Huanhuan, why don't you call your husband now and ask him to come over for dinner?"
"You were raised by your aunt and uncle. Your father is gone now, and your mother has remarried. We are at least half of your family. And Si Nian is your brother. We have to let your husband know that you have someone to support you, so that he won't find an opportunity to bully you in the future."
