Chapter 133: On the day of engagement, Yang Aihua set her sights on the man
But then Lin Wanqing threw this negative thought out of her head.
If Si changes his mind one day, it doesn't matter. She still has money, friends, and her own social circle. Nothing will change because of a man's departure.
She will not be as stupid as before and will definitely hold on to what belongs to her tightly.
Si also loves her now, so she should just enjoy this moment of love.
She shouldn't be someone who's afraid to try things just because she's been hurt before.
Lin Wanqing looked at the happy Wan Jiajia and thought that she was also happy at this moment. As long as she was happy, it was worth it.
On the day of Wan Jiajia's engagement, Lin Wanqing went to Wan's house early in the morning. She wanted to put makeup and style Wan Jiajia.
"I think your aesthetic sense is better than others." Wan Jiajia looked left and right in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.
Of course, her aesthetic taste was cultivated since childhood.
Teachers were specially invited to provide artistic training, and the clothes were modified by tailors according to popular Western fashion albums, which naturally cultivated their aesthetic sense.
But times are about to change, and those beautiful clothes and shoes will probably never see the light of day again.
I wore a blue-black cloth jacket every day. Then the planned economy era came and various tickets began to be used, which lasted until the reform and opening up.
So there is not much time left to dress up and enjoy this kind of day.
Lin Wanqing made a simple bun for Wan Jiajia and put on her vintage earrings that she had always treasured. At first glance, she looked like a European noble lady.
Wan's mother was watching with tears in her eyes, "My daughter looks so pretty today."
"Mom, look at you. I'm just engaged, not getting married. What are you doing?" Wan Jiajia hurriedly helped wipe her mother's tears.
"When I think about you getting married soon and leaving me and your father to live alone, I feel bad." Wan's mother carefully touched Wan Jiajia's face. "Honestly, I remember you as a child. How can you start a family already?"
"Auntie, even if Wan Jiajia gets married, she won't be too far away from you. Going back to her parents' home eight hundred times a day will bore you to death!" Lin Wanqing hurried to comfort her, "By then, you'll be wishing she didn't come home!"
"That's great." Wan's mother finally smiled.
My daughter has grown up and I can’t keep her anymore. It seems that Jia Jia has found a good partner who is considerate and attentive. My daughter will definitely be happy in the future, Mother Wan nodded with a smile.
Chen Lie came to pick him up in a jeep. His military uniform looked particularly crisp today, probably because it had been specially ironed.
You are a very upright person, with your back straight and you walked into the Wan family with great dignity.
"Uncle, Auntie! Jiajia! I'm here to pick you up!"
He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. The bright red flowers were so gorgeous that they were dripping with color. He stuffed them into Jia Jia's arms, his big white teeth showing clearly. He looked excited, which was very different from his usual steady image.
Wan Jiajia blushed and looked at him shyly.
Chen Lie reached out to help her get into the car, but Wan Jiajia pushed him away sheepishly, "No, I can walk by myself."
After saying that, she looked at everyone with a red face. Lin Wanqing winked at her, and she was so embarrassed that she quickly got into the car.
There were a lot of people watching around, all saying that Wan Jiajia had found a good partner.
Soldiers are in high demand these days, especially officers like Chen Lie.
"From now on, the Wan family will be a family. Having found a man like this as the pillar of the family, everyone will look up to him from now on."
"What's wrong with not having a son? It's the same as finding a powerful son-in-law!"
"That's not what you said before. You always said that people with no sons would be extinct! You laughed at them a lot! Now that they've found a powerful son-in-law, you've changed your attitude. Tsk! Don't try to curry favor with them from now on!"
"Oh, where have I said that before!" The person quickly winked at the person next to her, but that person completely ignored her and rolled his eyes. The person could only smile awkwardly.
The onlookers had all kinds of expressions on their faces, but Wan's parents were not angry and handed out wedding candies to everyone.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Can Jiajia also introduce a partner to our Liyan? I guess many of your brother-in-law's comrades-in-arms are single!"
The mother laughed and said, "Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."
After distributing the wedding candies, Wan's mother, Wan's father and Lin Wanqing got into the car together.
"Sister-in-law, my elder brother went to the train station to pick up his comrades, and then went straight to the hotel." Chen Lie did not forget to turn around and tell Lin Wanqing where Si Ye was going.
"Yeah." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I know."
Several comrades who lived nearby came to attend Chen Lie's engagement party. Si also drove the factory car to pick them up and finally met with them at the hotel.
In fact, the hotel is not far from here, just a few steps away, but in order to show his importance to the Wan family, Chen Lie drove a car to pick them up, and also to let the neighbors see that the Wan family will have someone to support them in the future.
A banner was hung at the entrance of the hotel, reading: "Warm congratulations to Comrade Wan Jiajia and Comrade Chen Lie on their engagement!"
Wan Jiajia saw these big words before she even arrived at the hotel, and she immediately wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"You hung up?" Wan Jiajia bit her lip, blushing as she looked at Chen Lie. "That's so embarrassing."
Chen Lie chuckled, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is a happy event for us. Happy events should be made known to others. The more people who know, the better."
Wan's mother was particularly satisfied with this. Without waiting for Wan Jiajia to say anything, she nodded and agreed, "That's right!"
"Xiao Chen, you're right! How many times can a man get married in his lifetime? Of course he wants it to be grand!"
Chen Lie quickly turned around and smiled flatteringly, "Auntie, I thought so too!"
Through his previous chats with his future mother-in-law, he discovered that Wan's mother liked to be lively and wanted to see her daughter being valued.
Probably, it was also to let the neighbors and relatives see that her daughter had found a good partner and she could finally hold her head high!
As soon as Lin Wanqing and Wan Jiajia got out of the car, the colleagues who were waiting there surrounded them.
"Oh, Jiajia, you look so beautiful today! Oh my god, look at your hairstyle, why haven't I seen it here before!"
"And this skirt! The style is so novel!"
Wan Jiajia took Lin Wanqing's hand and said, "Wanqing helped me dress up. If you need matching clothes and hairstyles for any occasions in the future, ask her!"
Yang Aihua, who was standing at the outermost corner, immediately said, "Wanqing's upbringing was different since she was a child. As a capitalist's daughter, her aesthetic taste is naturally different from what we working people have seen."
It was awkward when these words came out. Everyone knew Lin Wanqing's background, so why did she say it?
But in such an occasion, such a happy day, no one knew what to say, especially Lin Wanqing, who didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so she just smiled and covered up the topic.
"Okay, let's go in."
Lin Wanqing pulled Wan Jiajia, and everyone quickly said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go! Let's go in!"
Everyone walked around Yang Aihua and went inside. Yang Aihua was not annoyed. She walked on her own and entered the hotel calmly.
To be honest, she didn't come here today to cause trouble for everyone, but she just couldn't help but want to stab Lin Wanqing.
After entering the door, Yang Aihua found a place to sit down. Looking at everyone surrounding Wan Jiajia and Lin Wanqing, she felt sad.
Before, she was the one who was always surrounded by people and had a good relationship with others, but everything changed after Lin Wanqing arrived.
In reality, everyone is focused on profit. Isn't it because she's a temporary worker now, no longer worth interacting with, that everyone has distanced themselves from her? Especially Wan Jiajia, who is the best at clinging to her. She used to have such a good relationship with her, always calling her "sister", but now she's almost pretending not to know her.
She has also seen through interpersonal relationships, and from now on, she will just have to accept it.
Her purpose of coming here today was not just to have a feast.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise not far away, and the feet of several big men made a clacking sound as they walked.
The leader pushed the door open and rushed in, "Chen Lie!"
This sound made everyone look over, including Yang Aihua.
