"Hmph, stop lying. Who would like someone like Lu Lin?"
Knowing the details, Zhu Xiaohong immediately stood up to defend her cousin.
She looked Gu Mingyue up and down, "This is the fiancée you found. Which village did she come from? She doesn't even look as good as the old lady who cooks at home."
The mockery in her eyes was almost overflowing, and her condescending attitude was overwhelming.
Gu Mingyue twirled her fingers, really wanting to give her a good beating and see who the real boss was.
So what if they came from the countryside? They didn't eat her family's food or drink her water.
What gives her the right to point her finger at someone and hurl insults?
"Who is the old lady talking about?" Gu Mingyue asked back.
"The old lady is talking about you."
After saying that, Zhu Xiaohong realized that her words were wrong and angrily bit her lower lip.
"Hahaha, Zhu Xiaohong, you're such an idiot."
Lu Wanwan burst into laughter.
Her laughter attracted the attention of many passersby, who, seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, knew there was juicy gossip to be had.
One by one, they slowly stopped and kept looking this way.
Noticing the strange looks from everyone, Zhu Xiaoqing gently tugged at her cousin's sleeve.
She smiled faintly at Gu Mingyue and said, "I'm sorry, my cousin is very straightforward and says whatever comes to mind. I hope you won't take offense."
Gu Mingyue scoffed, "What if I take offense?"
Zhu Xiaoqing's smile froze; she hadn't expected anyone to be so disrespectful.
We're all from the same compound, we see each other all the time, is it really necessary to go to such extremes?
She's just Lu Lin's fiancée, not his wife, yet she actually thinks she has a powerful backer.
My cousin was right; coming from a small town, she does have a bit of a petty stinginess.
The two sisters had preconceived notions about Gu Mingyue's background, judging from her tattered clothes that she was a country girl from a remote rural area.
Therefore, he had an arrogant attitude when facing Gu Mingyue.
"Zhu Xiaoqing, you still dare to hang around in front of me? Believe me or not, the next time I see you, I'll beat you up every time I see you."
Lu Wanwan rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fists as big as sandbags.
As if she had thought of something terrible, Zhu Xiaoqing's expression twisted slightly.
A slight smile appeared on her lips. "Wanwan, you've misunderstood. We have other places to go, so we'll be leaving now."
Staring at the sisters' backs, Lu Wanwan continued to make various threatening gestures.
"What bad luck! I should have checked the almanac before going out."
Gu Mingyue had already learned the sisters' names from what she had just heard; it turned out that this was Zhu Xiaoqing.
Before Lu Lin was injured, she followed him around like a leech.
After Lu Lin was injured, she was the first to stay far away.
And that wasn't the end of it. Before leaving, she told Lu Lin in a teasy tone that she had always regarded him as an idol and had no romantic feelings for him whatsoever.
The Zhu family were respectable people in the residential compound, and people only dared to discuss gossip offline.
As time went by, everyone forgot about the matter until Gu Mingyue appeared in everyone's sight, and then the matter of Zhu Xiaoqing was brought up again.
"I think the Lu family's kid is very lucky; they have one or two kids following him around."
"What kind of blessing is this? The greatest blessing is that he can stand up; that would make everyone happy."
Grandma Wu loves to speak the truth; she speaks frankly and directly, hitting the nail on the head.
If Gu Mingyue knew what Grandma Wu was thinking, she would definitely clap her hands in welcome, as the two of them were completely in sync.
Let's go back to the department store.
After Zhu Xiaoqing and her sister left, Lu Wanwan affectionately linked arms with Gu Mingyue.
Fearing she might overthink things, she explained on behalf of her brother: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. My brother has never liked that woman. It's just that woman who sticks to my brother every day."
Lu Wanwan felt that her older brother was ungrateful for his good fortune. Mingyue was such a good fiancée, yet he was still thinking of severing ties with her.
Lu Wanwan originally didn't want to talk about Zhu Xiaoqing anymore, lest she bring bad luck upon herself.
If her older brother knew that she had talked about this person in front of her sister-in-law, would he be so anxious that he would sit up in his wheelchair?
Lu Wanwan felt that there was a reason why her brother hadn't been in a relationship for so many years; he was just wasting his time.
Seeing Lu Wanwan's anxious look, Gu Mingyue gently stroked her arm and comforted her, "Don't worry, I believe in your brother's character. He won't do anything to betray me, whether in the past or now."
Lu Wanwan's eyes reddened with emotion at these words. What a wonderful person!
How come her brother ended up with such a great partner? Could it be that his luck has been getting better and better since he got injured?
In order to completely erase Zhu Xiaoqing and her brother from her mind, Gu Mingyue went on a shopping spree at the store.
The dress on the counter eventually ended up in Gu Mingyue's possession. However, she didn't smile as much when chatting with the sales clerk.
The sales clerk also keenly sensed that something was wrong and gave an awkward smile.
There's no way around it; people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill.
Since becoming a sales clerk, I've lost all sense of dignity.
The appearance of the Zhu sisters did not dampen the two women's shopping desires. After finishing their purchases, the two women met up with Xia Huiying at her resting place.
The old lady nodded in satisfaction as she stared at the several packaging bags in Gu Mingyue's hand.
When my granddaughter-in-law changes into her beautiful clothes, she'll surely make everyone envious.
Lu Wanwan spoke very quickly, recounting her encounter with the Zhu siblings.
Xia Huiying's face showed a hint of anger. "If the Zhu family doesn't know how to educate their children, then he, as the elder, will have to take charge."
The old lady wanted to see who gave them such audacity to bully her granddaughter-in-law.
“Mingyue, don’t be afraid. My Xiaolin has nothing to do with that woman. He is absolutely innocent. Grandma can swear on her word.”
"Grandma, it's alright, it's nothing serious. Don't worry, I'm not one to be trifled with. If they come knocking again, I definitely won't hold back."
His domineering little face made the old lady like him even more.
Carrying large and small bags of things, they didn't rush home, but instead went to a state-run restaurant to fill their stomachs first.
After shopping for so long and changing so many clothes, Gu Mingyue was covered in a thin layer of sweat. She needed to finish her meal quickly and go back to wash up.
Perhaps feeling very satisfied from arguing with people, Gu Mingyue ate a large bowl of noodles.
This was the first time she had shown such a big appetite since arriving in Beijing, and the old lady was overjoyed.
He kept piling food into her bowl, saying repeatedly, "Eat more, eat more."
Seeing this, Gu Mingyue quickly protected the bowl.
You can't eat anymore. If you keep eating, it will kill you.
Her skills were still shallow, and she couldn't keep up with the old lady's enthusiasm. In the end, she was fed a few side dishes before she stopped.
