Chapter 184 Future Sister-in-law
"Brother, if you compare yourself with an 18-year-old girl, you are naturally old. So, after you get married, you must learn to love your wife and don't let my sister-in-law suffer any grievances." Yun Wansheng smiled casually and naturally.
"I know! I found out that you forgot about your brother since you had a sister-in-law. I have loved you in vain, you ungrateful bastard!" Shangguan Lan pretended to be annoyed.
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard at the door, which made Yun Wansheng naturally look at the person who came.
A young girl in a crimson peony dress came slowly towards them. She was slender and tall. Her appearance? It could only be described as pretty.
Yun Wansheng didn't expect Shangguan Lan to be attracted by such an ordinary woman. This was very different from the kind of beauty she expected.
She was looking at the girl, and the girl was also looking at her. When she saw that the girl in front of her was much prettier than herself, a bit of jealousy rose in her eyes unconsciously.
"Brother Shangguan, this girl is so beautiful, who is she?" Qiao Xue suppressed the discomfort in her heart and smiled with a hint of innocence in her elegance.
"Qiao Xue, she is the sister I told you about, Yun Wansheng! Little sister, this is my fiancée Qiao Xue." Shangguan Lan stepped forward and introduced them to each other.
"Hello, Miss Qiao!" Yun Wansheng greeted her generously.
"Hello, Miss Yun!" Qiao Xue returned the greeting.
She was feeling nervous and jealous just now, but when she heard that this beautiful woman was the man's sister, she instantly felt relieved. However, she did not expect that Shangguan Lan's sister was so beautiful.
"When did Miss Yun come? I never heard your elder brother mention her." Qiao Xue glanced at the man opposite with a reproachful look.
"I came the day before yesterday, and this time I came specifically to attend your wedding. Miss Qiao has a good eye. My eldest brother is a very honest and simple man. You will be blessed in the future." Yun Wansheng walked forward enthusiastically and took her hand: "Miss Qiao, please sit down!"
Shangguan Lan looked at the familiar woman speaking well of him, with a hint of amusement and helplessness on his lips.
When Qiao Xue heard this, the smile on her face deepened a little. She loved to hear such words the most.
"Miss Yun, now that you're here, don't leave. Your eldest brother keeps talking about you, saying that he lost you when you were little and didn't take good care of you. This makes him feel sorry for you."
Shangguan Lan felt a little embarrassed to hear her half-truths and half-lies. He had never told her in such detail. He only said that his sister had had a difficult life since childhood.
Yun Wansheng knew that this was just a polite remark: "I said that my elder brother found the right person. Miss Qiao, you look like a virtuous and kind woman.
But I have business to attend to over there, so I won't be back to live here. From now on, my elder brother will be relieved that you will take care of me as his younger sister."
"Miss Yun, did you come back alone? Why don't you see your husband?" There was a questioning look in Qiao Xue's eyes.
Shangguan Lan only told her that his sister had been separated for many years, and later they recognized each other and had settled down in their own homes. He did not mention whether she was married or not.
She guessed that his sister should be married at her age, otherwise why didn't they keep in touch for a long time and lived in two different places, and she was dressed as a woman, which made her assume that she was married.
Yun Wansheng was about to speak when Shangguan Lan said in a deep voice, "Qiao Xue, please don't pry into my sister's private affairs."
Qiao Xue saw his handsome face darken slightly, and was slightly stunned. Was there something wrong with her question? Why did this man look at her so disrespectfully?
This was the first time he had treated her coldly since they had met, and she felt extremely wronged.
"Brother Shangguan, we're getting married soon. As your sister's family, her family will naturally be in attendance. What's wrong with me asking her if her husband is coming? Do you really have to give me such a hard time?"
Shangguan Lan wanted to say something, but Yun Wansheng stopped him: "Brother, look at you, why don't you explain my affairs clearly to Miss Qiao?
Then, she looked at her future sister-in-law, who looked extremely aggrieved. "Ms. Qiao, don't blame my brother for being rude just now. He just doesn't want people to know that I'm a widow. He's afraid that others will laugh at me."
Now she can only lie like this to deceive others. After all, she pretends to be married, so others will think that she is married.
"Ah? How could this be! Miss Yun, I'm sorry, I don't know about your situation. I'm sorry for offending you just now. Please forgive me." There was surprise in Qiao Xue's eyes and she apologized quickly.
"Ms. Qiao, there's no need to apologize. It's my fault that I didn't explain it to you clearly, which is why you two got angry with me for no reason. It's all my fault. I apologize to you. I'm sorry." Yun Wansheng knelt down to apologize.
Seeing that her future sister-in-law was so sensible, Qiao Xue couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her.
Shangguan Lan looked at the woman who had rescued him, his eyes darkening slightly. He then looked at his fiancée and said apologetically, "Qiao Xue, I was a little anxious protecting my sister just now. Please don't mind."
"It's okay, I understand how you feel. I won't ask about your sister's affairs anymore. I hope you won't hold a grudge against me for what happened just now." Qiao Xue said magnanimously with a pout.
"How could that be! You are my fiancée, how could I hold a grudge against you for such a small matter?" Shangguan Lan still tried to comfort people.
Qiao Xue smiled when she heard this, so she took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Shangguan, tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, do you want to go?"
"Of course I'll go on such an important day. I was thinking of sending someone to your house to invite you to go with me to the Autumn Festival tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come first."
When Qiao Xue heard that he wanted to invite her, her smile became even brighter: "Brother Shangguan, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. Miss Yun, you can also come tomorrow and we can enjoy the autumn together."
She still knew that she had to curry favor with her future sister-in-law. What had just happened made it easy to see how much Shangguan Lan cared about his sister who had just been found. She had not yet entered the family, so she must not offend this woman.
Seeing that she invited herself, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but jokingly said, "Ms. Qiao, you two should just leave me alone. I don't want to disturb your date. It's very immoral."
"It's okay, Miss Yun. We'll be a family from now on. Why don't you call each other by our first names? It makes us seem more intimate."
If she was not older than herself and she had not married her brother, she would have asked Yun Wansheng to call her sister long ago, so as to enhance the relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law.
Since they all know each other, it would be too awkward if they were always polite to each other. It would be better to call each other by their names to make them closer.
Yun Wansheng was naturally pleased to hear this and said, "Okay, I also think calling you by your name is the most appropriate. If you two weren't married yet, I would just call you sister-in-law."
"Wan Sheng, you don't know, I felt a liking for you the first time I saw you today. I like your cheerful personality." Qiao Xue said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, me too, Qiao Xue. When you marry my eldest brother in the future, if he dares to bully you, just tell me and we will deal with him together." Yun Wansheng said with a smile, glancing at the gentle man standing there.
She now discovered that although Miss Qiao was not a great beauty, she had a good temper and personality, and did not have the arrogance that comes from being spoiled. This made her like her even more, and she only hoped that she was a woman who was consistent in appearance and heart.
