Compared to Lu Zhixi's nonchalant attitude, the man's attitude was quite different.
He stood there frozen for less than a minute before the woman beside him pinched the soft flesh of his waist hard...
"What, you can't resist a pretty woman? Ugh, you vixen, all you know how to do is seduce men..."
The woman was incessantly talking.
The man stared blankly at his wife in front of him. She had a round face, beady eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, a terrible temper, and acted like a shrew, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation.
He deeply regretted it.
Lu Zhixi completely forgot about the person she had just met, and instead went with Fan Xiaofan to the department store in S City to pick out a gift for Fan Yunyan.
Sigh, as someone who witnessed this display of affection, Fan Xiaofan says, well, the lemons are still delicious today.
On the Lu family's side, Lu's mother and father were talking about Lu Zhixi and Fan Yunyan: "Hmph, those people said that our daughter was only fit to marry those lousy men, but look how good she is now."
Mr. Lu nodded in satisfaction.
Lu's mother and father shared the gossip they had heard from Lu Zhixi: "Our daughter lives a better life than us in the village. She doesn't have to do anything. Even when she cooks, your son-in-law helps out. She's also very popular and gets to eat meat all the time. Look, she even brought us a lot this time."
Meat is always a scarce commodity, and the Lu family only had so many meat coupons. They often had to save them up for a while before they could afford to eat meat, especially since their sons were at that age when they were greedy...
Mr. Lu adjusted his glasses, looked at the newspaper, and asked, "Who is that?"
He was referring to Lu Zhixi's former cousin-in-law, but now he couldn't even be bothered to call her by name.
"She absolutely refused to get a divorce. My sister is usually easy to get along with, but once she's made up her mind, no one can stop her. She just went ahead and did it. She was kicked out, and they won't let her see the children, afraid she'll set a bad example for them..."
Madam Lu felt a burning hatred for her whenever she thought of her.
"She has been trying to coax Ade back to his senses, but Ade is just like his mother. He's fine as long as she doesn't cross his bottom line, but now he completely ignores her."
"She tried to ruin our daughter's reputation before, and now she's brought this upon herself. A divorced woman who can't even tolerate her sister-in-law, what decent family would want to marry her? She'll just have to suffer..."
What Lu's mother said was extremely satisfying.
Fan Xiaofan and Lu Zhixi did not stay in S City for long. After the Expo ended, they stayed for another day before setting off back to Qingcheng. This time, the Lu family was no longer worried when they saw their daughter off. Their daughter proved with facts that she was doing well now, which was what all parents hoped for.
After Fan Xiaofan disappeared, Lu Zhiming suddenly appeared from somewhere...
He patted his heart, still shaken by the experience.
"They're finally gone."
Speaking of which, the watch was also supposed to be exhibited at the expo, but Lu Zhiming managed to keep it completely hidden from Fan Xiaofan...
He was truly terrified...
I was recently tricked out of a watch by Fan Xiaofan's language trap, so I must be more vigilant now...
He's so pitiful...
Mr. and Mrs. Lu couldn't help but chuckle as they looked at their younger brother: "Zhiming, you're not young anymore, is it really necessary to be like this?"
Lu Zhiming immediately put on a serious face: "Hmph, I've learned my lesson..."
Meanwhile, Fan Xiaofan, who had just boarded the train, rolled her eyes and looked at Lu Zhixi: "Sister-in-law, it seems I didn't see Uncle Lu on this trip to S City..."
Lu Zhiming: "I don't want to be targeted!"
