Chapter 27 Sorry, I'm Late
Lu Jianshen smiled back at her and nodded gently, signaling her not to worry. He had heard before they met that Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou were not good people. After they met, he felt more intuitively that they had no good intentions. Under such circumstances, he certainly would not be fooled.
Not to mention, Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou's little tricks can be seen at a glance.
It wasn't just the two of them. Chunhua also felt strange. Ye Meiping didn't seem like a magnanimous person. Normally, she would feel very uncomfortable if anyone took anything from her and would go to their house to ask for it back. But for someone like this, she was so kind as to cook for herself. The look in her eyes just now made her want to chase her away.
This is not an exaggeration at all, really.
Jiang Rourou felt a little unhappy when she saw their wary looks. With a mother like that, who was always causing trouble and could not do anything, what could she expect from her?
Seeing that they were all suspicious, she could only try to dispel their doubts.
"Well, my mother is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She's actually very happy. She also knows the most basic etiquette. Don't take it personally."
"..."
"Sister, do you think I'm right?"
"..."
Do you think I care about you?
Jiang Xiangxiang rolled her eyes rudely, but she had no intention of exposing them on the spot. She was also very curious about what they wanted to do and what bad ideas they could come up with to change the status quo.
Jiang Rourou didn't feel embarrassed. She wanted to focus all her attention on Lu Jianshen, but she was worried that if she was too deliberate, he would be unhappy.
The main reason is that the two of them are not familiar with each other, and she doesn’t know what to say when she wants to talk. But it doesn’t matter. After they really live together in the future and she becomes his woman, everything should be fine.
At that time, he should have a sense of his own existence in his heart.
Jiang Rourou felt very excited when she thought of that scene. She had to sleep with him no matter what, otherwise she would definitely regret it.
When Lu Jianshen met her eyes, he felt a creepy feeling, as if he was being stared at by something scary, and he wished he could get up and leave immediately.
However, after looking at Jiang Xiangxiang, he still sat there steadily. He had to listen to his future daughter-in-law. Besides, he came to propose marriage, so he was not afraid of what Jiang Rourou might do.
Several people just sat there, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Only Chunhua was the most relaxed, thinking about her own things, glancing at Lu Jianshen from time to time, then at Jiang Xiangxiang. No matter how she looked at them, she felt that they were a perfect match, and then she smiled foolishly.
Jiang Rourou felt very uncomfortable watching this, and quickly stood up and said in a gentle voice, "Aunt Chunhua, please sit down first. Mom and I went out to buy some brown sugar water to make some for everyone. The ones at home were taken away by my sister, and I don't know where they are."
Jiang Xiangxiang remained calm and pointed out directly: "You are now busy trying to deceive me. The things in the house are not yours alone. Why can only you eat them and not me?"
Jiang Rourou: "That's not what I meant. I just thought you should tell mom before you take it away. After all, everything in the house has always been under mom's control."
Ye Meiping had already told her that all the things in the house were missing. How could they disappear for no reason? They must have been stolen by Jiang Xiangxiang.
She was too panicked yesterday so she didn't notice it. Now look at what Jiang Xiangxiang is wearing, aren't they her clothes? How dare she do that?
If Lu Jianshen knew that she was a thief with dirty hands, would he still be willing to marry her? Or would he think that she was a bad person and no longer set his sights on her.
Jiang Xiangxiang said aggrievedly, "Yes, everything in the house is controlled by mother. From childhood to adulthood, you have everything you want and eat everything you want. What about me? Sister, I don't say it because I consider that we are all family, so I save face for you. Do you really have to break that window paper now?"
Jiang Rourou: "Then you can't..."
Lu Jianshen: "Think about it, how did you fall into the river that day? You wash clothes there every day, and how could you fall into it? If I hadn't happened to pass by..."
Jiang Rourou: "She just fell down by herself, accidentally!"
Lu Jianshen: “Really?”
Jiang thought about it and said, "Of course not. I wash clothes there every day. I pass by there eight or ten times a day. How could I possibly fall down?"
She didn't intend to let this matter go easily. After all, it was a life. The original owner died because of this. It was reasonable for her to give her an explanation.
If I don't take action now, I will just torment Jiang Rourou. Wouldn't it be nice to see her getting nervous and jumping around like a clown?
Jiang Rourou was extremely flustered. For a moment, she didn't care about entangled with Jiang Xiangxiang about the theft. She could only take a step back. If Lu Jianshen knew that it was her who pushed the thing, what would he think?
She couldn't even imagine how horrible that would be, it was too scary.
"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Anyway, you fell in by yourself. Even if you say it to the sky, it's still the same. Forget it, I'll go help mom cook first!"
"..."
Before Jiang Xiangxiang could even open his mouth, he saw her running away. She ran very fast, not giving her any chance to attack. She was very skillful.
Seeing her expression of surprise, Lu Jianshen guessed something and whispered, "She pushed you?"
Jiang Xiangxiang said, "Yes, I remember it very clearly. If she hadn't pushed me down suddenly, I wouldn't have fallen into the water. Besides, when I had a high fever before, they were still discussing how to kill me."
There is nothing to hide about this matter, just say it directly. Apart from the secret of your own space, it is better to be honest about everything else.
If everything goes well, Lu Jianshen will be her bedmate in the future, and they should try not to have any secrets.
After hearing this, Lu Jianshen's face changed. After a pause, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm late. I should have come as soon as the incident happened."
Jiang thought: "It's not too late, everything is just right."
If he had come earlier, he might not have come through yet, and he would have been stopped by Ye Meiping, or rejected by the original owner. Either possibility would be bad, and Jiang Xiangxiang didn't think he could accept it.
Seeing that she didn't take it to heart at all, Lu Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he decided in his heart that he must treat her well in the future and never let her down.
With such a mother and sister, Jiang Xiangxiang's first half of life has been difficult enough. For the rest of her life, he must let her live a good life.
Jiang Xiangxiang had no idea that a casual remark of hers had made someone feel soft-hearted towards her, and even swore something in his heart. If she knew, she would probably laugh secretly.
On the other side——
