"What's up?" Lin Chuxia opened the door and raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at the person at the door.
"Early Summer, did you just wake up? It's already past ten o'clock..."
"Spit it out!" Lin Chuxia interrupted her impatiently.
An Mingzhu's smile froze almost imperceptibly for a moment, then she continued, "Chuxia, Shanwen and the others came over today and are chatting with Mom and Dad downstairs right now! Why don't you tidy up a bit and come down too!"
"Smack!"
Lin Chuxia closed the door without hesitation.
With no one else around, An Mingzhu stopped pretending. Her smile vanished, and she stared at the closed door, her eyes dark and brooding, lost in thought.
When she went downstairs, An Mingzhu put on her usual gentle and dignified appearance.
As Chu Yiyi watched her come down, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is the sister-in-law she wanted!
As for Lin Chuxia...
Chu Yiyi curled her lip in disdain. "Sister Mingzhu, that woman probably hasn't gotten up yet, has she?"
"Ah? That, it's... no, it's not. Chu Xia got up very early this morning, yes! She got up very early to study. Chu Xia has been working especially hard lately..." An Mingzhu explained to Lin Chu Xia in a bit of a panic.
However, after she said this, the expressions of Madam Chu and the others sitting in the living room turned even worse.
"Hmph! Mingzhu, stop making excuses for her! We heard everything you two were talking about! It was clearly that lazy bum Lin Chuxia who overslept, and only you would speak up for her, while she was so rude to you just now!"
They really don't know what's good for them!
Compared to Lin Chuxia, Mingzhu is so much better!
I don't know if they'll achieve their goal today.
She didn't want Lin Chuxia to be her sister-in-law. If Lin Chuxia dared to shamelessly cling to their family, she would definitely not be polite to her!
Chu Yiyi was furious, and her words were full of contempt and disdain for Lin Chuxia.
Because Lin Chuxia's room was right at the top of the stairs, and the two of them were talking right there at the door without any cover, the people downstairs could hear everything clearly.
In the living room, Xie Jinya's face flushed red and then turned pale; she felt extremely ashamed.
"Alright, Yiyi, how can you talk like that? Sit down properly and stop causing trouble!" Madam Chu said to Xie Jinya, "Jinya, it's all my fault for not raising the child well. Her father and I have spoiled her at home. She speaks without thinking, please don't mind!"
However, Xie Jinya looked even more embarrassed after she said that.
"Jin Ya, you've probably guessed why we've come here this time," Madam Chu said apologetically to the An couple. "Originally, the marriage between our two families was just a joke the elders made casually back then. Nowadays, children have more ideas, and our old-fashioned approach is no longer working."
"It's not that I don't like Chuxia, it's just that we haven't spent much time with Chuxia over the years, and there's no bond between the two children. There's no way to force this!"
"Marriage is a major life event that affects the children's lifelong happiness, and it cannot be compromised! I think we should just call it off!"
In short, Madam Chu's words conveyed one message: the engagement was to be cancelled.
Lin Chuxia was coming downstairs when she heard Madam Chu's words and said without the slightest reluctance, "Indeed, marriage is a major event and cannot be compromised! Let's cancel it then!"
