Chapter 225 Disgusting Complaint
This is the Spring Festival in the West. Every household is preparing for the festival. There are Christmas trees everywhere in the streets, squares and shops, just like a fairy tale coming into reality.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Chen Xinyue and Xue Lingxue decorated the apartment together and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
"It's such an important holiday in the UK, don't you plan to invite your fiancé to celebrate with you?" Chen Xinyue asked tentatively.
Xue Lingxue looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Xinyue, you don't have a fever, do you? If that guy didn't come, we should have set off firecrackers to celebrate, and we even took the initiative to ask him to come over! Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
Chen Xinyue shrugged. "That's just what I asked. Didn't he spend the past years with you? How did you spend the year?"
Xue Lingxue looked nonchalant, "How else can we celebrate? We are not Christians, and Christmas is not popular in China. It's the same as if this holiday didn't exist. In the past, we celebrated this day separately and didn't contact each other. It was only this year when you came that I felt like celebrating the holiday."
Chen Xinyue thought that at this time Zhang Jingxuan was most likely spending the holiday with Annie and the children. If she told everyone what happened and took Xue Lingxue to block the door, they would definitely be caught red-handed.
But this is a foreign country, and that place is a wealthy area. There are only two of them, and if a fight really breaks out, they will be the ones who suffer.
Another thing is that she has been asking John about Anne's family during this period of time. John treats her as a friend and has told her everything. If John knew the truth, it might hurt others.
Considering many aspects, Chen Xinyue suppressed the urge to blurt out the answer and turned to testing, "Lingxue, if Zhang Jingxuan betrayed you, would you still marry him?"
Chen Xinyue raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Why do you say that? I have no feelings for him. If he really had an affair with another woman behind my back, it would be understandable. The worst that can happen is that things get out of hand and our marriage is called off. My parents will arrange another marriage for me, but it won't change the fact that I have to live according to their wishes. It doesn't matter to me whether he betrayed me or not."
"So open-minded!" Chen Xinyue was a little speechless. She just picked up a piece of roasted turkey and chewed it twice. Her face twisted instantly, "My God, this thing tastes too... The development of food in the UK must be less than one-tenth of that in China."
After complaining, she put down her fork, wondering, "Is there really no way to make your parents respect your wishes?"
Xue Lingxue nodded vigorously, "They are developing in An City. This circle is not big, but it is not small either. Everyone is looking for a marriage with someone of equal status. If it's not Zhang Jingxuan, there are Zhao Jingxuan and Wang Jingxuan. Anyway, they won't be my ideal partner.
Since everyone is trying to make do with each other for the sake of profit, who can we live with?"
"What if the scandal gets bigger in the circle, can you still find someone else to marry as if nothing happened?" Chen Xinyue looked curious.
Seeing her interest, Xue Lingxue also became serious. "If that's the case, it won't work. Rich families value reputation the most. For example, my cousin was said to be quite rebellious when she was young. After graduating from college, her family arranged a job for her but she refused. They also asked her to marry, but she refused. Later, the elders in her family put pressure on her.
She was forced to choose between work and marriage. It was impossible for her to give up her career, so she had to compromise on marriage. The engagement party was already arranged, but she accidentally caught the man cheating. Her aunt had a bad temper and made a scene in the hotel. She stripped the mistress naked in public, leaving her naked in front of everyone.
Not satisfied with this, she smashed her fiancé's head with a wine bottle and sent him to the hospital herself. She only told her family after she had done all this.
When the elders in the family found out, the news spread. They scolded her one by one for being ignorant and impulsive, and said that the problem could not be solved in that way. But my aunt was stubborn and refused to give in. She even threatened that she would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, and would be even more ruthless if it happened again.
When the boy's parents saw that their future daughter-in-law was not a good person, and also knew that their son's bad behavior would not change, they were worried that their son would be beaten to death by the future daughter-in-law, so they immediately went to the house with generous gifts to apologize, humble themselves, and cancel the marriage.
He was the one at fault and had a good attitude to admit his mistake, so it was difficult for the woman to refuse and the marriage was cancelled.
After all, it was not my aunt's fault. The elders in the family were planning to choose a new marriage partner for my aunt. After the news was released, no one dared to take action. After a long time, they came to their senses and realized that my aunt had a "bad reputation". No one dared to marry her, so they had to give up the plan of marrying her off.
Later, my cousin found a partner. He came from an ordinary family, but he was very good to her and devoted to her. Her family was worried that my cousin would not be able to get married and would be burdened with it, so they had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
Now my cousin’s son is in primary school.”
Xue Lingxue was very excited and full of admiration when she talked about her cousin, which shows how much she admired her.
Chen Xinyue listened silently and kept all these things in mind.
The two of us spent this Christmas together, happily and without worries.
For the next month, Zhang Jingxuan seemed to have disappeared and never entered the apartment again.
In the blink of an eye, school started again and they returned to their regular lives.
Chen Xinyue found that Zhang Jingxuan was a very interesting person. He came to see Xue Lingxue just like he was checking in for duty, every ten days. Whenever he came, he would find fault with her. He was disgusted with and suppressed Xue Lingxue in various ways, and he would bring up Xue's father and mother at every turn, which made Xue Lingxue so angry that she was jumping up and down but she could do nothing about it.
Chen Xinyue watched coldly, always feeling that Zhang Jingxuan had bad intentions and intended to use mental torture to make Xue Lingxue collapse, but unfortunately she had no evidence.
So she could only use various excuses to keep Xue Lingxue in school on the days when Zhang Jingxuan might show up.
It just so happened that she had not yet checked out of the school dormitory, so she could ask Xue Lingxue to come over and squeeze in with her.
After so many times, Zhang Jingxuan also made a fuss. He even said to Xue Lingxue in front of Chen Xinyue: "You are not a child anymore. You should understand what useless socializing is. You should not keep useless people around you, lest you be brainwashed by them and lose your mind."
Xue Lingxue was furious, picked up a broom and hit Zhang Jingxuan, "Bullshit! Don't think that everyone is as snobby and psychotic as you! I'm warning you, you are not welcome in my apartment from now on, I'll beat you up every time you come!"
Zhang Jingxuan was embarrassed and called Xue's mother to complain, "Auntie, ever since Lingxue's friend came to study in the UK, Lingxue has been hanging around her friend and has been very cold to me. She has been avoiding me and quarreling with me. I suspect her friend is trying to sow discord between us. You know I'm very busy at work and can't always be with Lingxue. I hope you can communicate with Lingxue and stop associating with that friend."
Upon hearing this, Xue's mother frowned, "Do you know the name of Lingxue's friend?"
