Song Xia really didn't expect that Wei Deng's words would come true, and that they would actually run into Jing Jun.
He seemed to be there to show off, to boast about his new car and the girlfriend who doted on him. When he didn't see Wei Zhu get out of the car, Jing Jun's smile visibly stiffened.
Wei Deng exclaimed incredulously, "No way, he came to the cemetery just to show off? Is there something wrong with his brain?"
"Wei Zhu didn't come back this year?" Jing Jun walked straight over. "He didn't even pay respects to his own father during the New Year. Wei Zhu is heartless!"
"What's it to you?" Wei Deng couldn't help but retort. "Why did you deliberately come here? To show off how well you're doing now? People online say that the less you have, the more you like to show off, so you're still resentful towards my sister, aren't you?"
Jing Jun's expression changed: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm talking nonsense? If you were really doing well, would you have made such a special trip? In the end, it's just that you're insecure about not being able to catch up with my sister, isn't it?"
"Bullshit! I'm here to show your sister just how much she's lost without me!"
"Come on!" Wei Deng said with a look of disdain. "My sister's current boyfriend is much better than you. He's not only a college student, but he also has a bright future. My sister has never paid any attention to you."
Jing Jun seemed unwilling to believe such an outcome. In his view, Wei Zhu was timid and cowardly. Even though he graduated from university, he did not have any solid professional skills. It was already a blessing for Wei Zhu that he had taken a liking to her. Where else could he find someone better?
"What advantages do you have? You have no education, no skills, and such a terrible personality. You don't actually think you're so popular, do you?" Wei Dengyi said disdainfully. "My sister is different. She graduated from university, has a gentle personality, and is beautiful. She has many suitors. If it weren't for your bizarre habit of coming to the cemetery twice, our whole family would have almost forgotten that you exist."
"I'm incompetent? I'm in management at the factory now. I have a house, a car, and a girlfriend. I'm so glad I didn't date your sister."
"It's because you haven't been able to win her over, isn't it? Does your girlfriend know how persistent you are with someone you haven't been able to win over?" Wei Deng glanced at Jing Jun's car, where the woman sitting inside smiled at them, seemingly unaware of anything.
"What do you want to do?" Jing Jun blocked his way.
Weiden continued walking: "Of course, it's to tell your girlfriend why you came here."
Jing Jun's expression changed: "Get out of my way."
Wei Deng said with interest, "Oh, I guessed right, Jing Jun. You're so insecure! First you wanted to show off in front of the girl you couldn't get, but now you're afraid your current girlfriend will find out your purpose. And you won't admit you're not that great!"
"I want to see how Wei Zhu will fare from now on!" Jing Jun said as he walked towards his car, watching Wei Deng warily.
Wei Deng had no intention of following, and crossed his arms, saying, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be better off than you."
After the man left, Wei Deng was still complaining: "What kind of person is this? I've never even accepted his advances, and he still made time to come here. The eye of the needle is smaller than a needle."
Song Xia looked at him approvingly: "You did a good job just now."
Wei Deng chuckled: "I just can't stand his pretentious attitude, as if he's the only one doing well and everyone else is doing poorly. It's a pity about that woman sitting in the car; she probably doesn't even know what a petty and calculating boyfriend she is."
At this moment, Kong Yan noticed that Jing Jun looked unwell and asked in a low voice, "Who are they? Why did they make a special trip to see them? Didn't you contact them by phone beforehand?"
Jing Jun's tone was stiff: "He's not an important person."
Even though there had been no conflict, for some reason, Kong Yan was now somewhat afraid of him. Seeing that his expression was off, she didn't ask any more questions.
However, I was quite curious. Why was someone who wasn't important waiting here so early? And now that we'd met, why did our conversation seem to be going poorly?
After returning to Jing Jun's house, she subtly inquired about the Jing family behind Jing Jun's back, only to learn that the Jing family had no relatives buried there.
He went there specifically to see the women he couldn't win over, probably to show off, but he didn't succeed in the end. Miss Kong, Jing Jun has a strange personality, please be careful.
here we go again!
After reading the message, Kong Yan deleted it immediately. Who was this person? Why did they keep reminding her? How could they know so much about her? Was this the person she was going to meet today?
"What are you looking at?" Jing Jun snatched Kong Yan's phone away. Kong Yan felt a surge of anger. It was happening again. Ever since they became a couple, he had no respect for her privacy and checked her phone anytime, anywhere. Luckily, he deleted the messages after reading them.
"I was just browsing the news, Jing Jun, could you please stop taking my phone away so suddenly every time?"
"I'm your boyfriend, we're getting married soon. If you have nothing to hide, there's nothing wrong with me looking at you."
"But you're making me feel very disrespected!"
“I didn’t stop you from looking at mine.” Jing Jun generously took out his phone, but Kong Yan knew that Jing Jun had two phones. He always said that the other phone was for work and he couldn’t let her see it. So what use was it for her to see this one?
"No need," Kong Yan said dejectedly. She was increasingly confused. Was marrying Jing Jun really a good choice? She had given everything to Jing Jun, and even her family approved of her marriage to him. But she had a feeling that Jing Jun was different from what he seemed.
And when Jing Jun went to the cemetery today, was he still thinking about the woman he couldn't win over? This is the first time Kong Yan has been so disoriented.
On the other hand, since she had already paid respects to Wei Zhu and Wei Deng's father, Song Xia decided to go and pay respects to her own parents as well. However, the two elders were in another cemetery, and Song Xia encountered someone she didn't want to see.
"Who gave you permission to come and pay respects, you married-out woman?" Because of their strained relationship, neither Song Chenggong nor Pan Meiying gave her a friendly look.
"Who says married women can't come back to pay their respects?" Song Xia lit the incense, but Song Chenggong pulled it out.
"I said you are not allowed to worship, and that means you are not allowed to worship."
Pan Meiying said sarcastically, "Sister, you want to pay respects to Mom and Dad? Beg us!"
Looking at her younger brother Song Chenggong's greedy eyes, Song Xia sneered, "Trying to threaten me with this? Fine, anyway, Mom and Dad favored boys over girls back then and didn't take me seriously. They probably wouldn't be happy to see me come back. Since we can't pay our respects, then we won't."
She grabbed Wei Deng and turned to leave, but Pan Meiying panicked.
"How can you be so unfilial? You don't even pay respects to your own parents during the Lunar New Year?"
"Didn't you guys forbid it? Why are you blaming me?"
"If you want to ease tensions, that's not impossible."
Song Xia replied coldly, "There's no need for that. You can't threaten me with this."
Seeing that she really left without warning, Wei Deng was shocked. It seemed that his mother really hated the preference for sons over daughters now! However, seeing his uncle and aunt so angry made him feel quite satisfied.
