"So now that you've seen it, aren't you very disappointed?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.
She was just an ordinary rural woman, with no looks, no education, and no family background. She grew up helping her parents herd cattle and farm, and played in the mud all her life.
She is indeed incomparable to people like Wu Yanping and Liu Yanran, who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
However,
"On the contrary, seeing you made me realize many of my own shortcomings."
Wu Yanping shook her head and said with utmost seriousness, "You are the most understanding and tolerant woman I have ever met in my age group, and only you are worthy of Wang Qian."
"You flatter me, I'm not as... as you say..."
Lin Xiaoyu was instantly flattered, but before she could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted her, saying, "Wu Yanping is right, you are really good."
Lin Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little shy after Wang Qian said that.
However, this was only a facade; while she was shy, a hint of sadness flashed deep in her eyes.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive!"
At that moment, Liu Yanran's voice came over.
Wang Qian turned his head and saw Liu Yanran handing him a red envelope, saying with a forced smile, "I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll head back first."
"Won't you stay a little longer?"
Wang Qian said politely, "We haven't eaten yet. Why don't you wait until you've eaten before you leave?"
"No, no need!"
Liu Yanran said, her tone sharp but her voice weak, "I already ate before I came, so I won't wait for the meal. You all go ahead with your business, I'll be going now, goodbye!"
After saying that, she ran out of the living room as if fleeing and walked quickly towards her car.
"Since you insist on leaving, then I won't see you off any further!"
Wang Qian called out to the other person's retreating figure from afar.
Even though he knew Liu Yanran's intentions were not good, he was still so polite simply because he didn't want to make things awkward.
After all, today is the auspicious day of his son's one-month celebration. Giving Liu Yanran a way out will make her know when to back down and prevent her from getting angry.
And he also avoided becoming a laughing stock.
Why not have the best of both worlds?
"I'm getting ready to leave too!"
At that moment, Wu Yanping's voice came over.
"Are you leaving too?"
Wang Qian turned around, his expression somewhat complicated.
Liu Yanran's scheme was exposed, and she tried to escape the scene.
Wu Yanping meant no harm, so there was no need for her to leave in such a hurry.
"I feel out of place here, and I'm quite an eyesore, so I won't cause you any trouble," Wu Yanping said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Miss Wu, you flatter me!"
Before Wang Qian could answer, Lin Xiaoyu interjected, "You are our guest, so there's no need to trouble you. In any case, you should stay for a meal before you leave. I'd like to chat with you a bit more."
As she spoke, she took Wu Yanping's arm and lowered her voice, saying, "I also want to know a lot about Wang Qian's past. Could you tell me about it in private?"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Wang Qian panicked immediately, "What's there to talk about about my past?"
"Don't speak!"
Lin Xiaoyu glared at him. "Miss Wu, would you mind talking to me?"
Wu Yanping looked troubled.
But under Lin Xiaoyu's pleading gaze, she nodded, "Okay, it's good to talk. I also want to see how you take care of the child."
With that, the two walked hand in hand into the bedroom.
Zhong Yiyi followed Wang Niangui inside, carrying him in her arms.
Bang!
The door closed, and Wang Qian stood frozen in the living room.
However, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his lips.
This result is actually quite good.
Apart from Liu Yanran, his wife Lin Xiaoyu was extremely understanding and did not make a big fuss about what had happened before.
As for Wu Yanping, besides being simple-minded, she is also very kind. Unlike Liu Yanran, she did not have any ill intentions and caused trouble. Instead, she helped him out at a critical moment, cleared up the misunderstanding, and gave him and Lin Xiaoyu a way out.
Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the two of them to spend more time together.
Perhaps after talking to her, Lin Xiaoyu will be able to let go of her resentment.
Despite Lin Xiaoyu's seemingly magnanimous demeanor just now, any normal woman would be indifferent to such a situation.
If someone can truly be indifferent, there's only one possibility.
Lin Xiaoyu doesn't love him at all!
Therefore, this is the result he most wanted to see.
Next, he went out to greet the guests.
Most of the people who came to the banquet were relatives and friends from the neighborhood.
To his surprise, Li Guangsheng, Zuo Hengyu, and Gao Churou all came at the same time, and each of them gave a gift of two hundred yuan.
This made many relatives and friends present feel very awkward.
After all, although relatives and friends in the neighborhood also gave gifts, the amounts ranged from one to five yuan.
For example, Lin Chao's family is her maternal family, so she should receive the most gifts.
But it's only ten yuan.
But Li Guangsheng and his two companions each received two hundred, which was an absolutely crushing blow.
"Brother Li, Brother Zuo, Sister Rou, how did you know?"
Wang Qian was surprised, but also felt somewhat ashamed.
"You're having a banquet and you didn't even tell us? That's so unfair of you!"
Li Guangsheng punched Wang Qian in the chest and laughed, "If I hadn't gone to the shop and asked that little girl Zhou Yuanyuan, I wouldn't have known you were having a full-month celebration."
As soon as Li Guangsheng finished speaking, Zuo Hengyu continued, "We've been working together for so long, are you treating us like outsiders?"
Gao Churou also rolled her eyes at Wang Qian, "What you did really chilled our hearts. Should we be more polite when we talk to you from now on?"
