"No, no, no, I just thought that you both rejected my proposal, so why are you suddenly together again? Haha." He laughed dryly.
Lu Yuantao looked extremely embarrassed, and now he was a little blaming his mother. Why didn't she tell him that he was going to marry into the Zhou family? Now he was embarrassed.
Miao Cuihua didn't know what he was thinking, nor did she want to know. She was talking to Grandma Zhou on the side and they were having a good time.
"Why are you so surprised? Isn't it normal for two outstanding children to meet and like each other? Before, you just met the wrong person at the wrong time. It's good that you missed each other, otherwise there wouldn't be such a good child like Xiangxiang." Zhou Chengjia had a good impression of Lu Xiangxiang.
This child is good-looking and has a good career. At a time when many people are in awe of forensic scientists, this child is already a qualified forensic scientist.
"This, hahaha." Lu Xiangxiang wondered how she could be an outstanding person. She was just a girl who graduated from high school. No matter how outstanding she was, she was not as outstanding as her youngest daughter.
Seeing some contempt in his eyes towards Lu Xiangxiang, Zhou Chengjia thought that this man could abandon his mother and daughter in the countryside for so many years, and felt that he was a cold-hearted person.
In short, he felt even worse about Lu Yuantao, and he kept a sullen face and didn't speak to Lu Yuantao.
Lu Yuantao: ...
Why are you silent again? Why is your attitude like this? Do you believe that he won't marry his daughter into your family?
Although he thought so in his heart, he looked carefully at Grandma Zhou who was chatting with her very attentively and happily. He wondered if he would be beaten to death by his mother if he did this.
It was certain that he would be beaten to death, and he didn't dare to say anything more because he thought about losing face.
Lu Xiangxiang felt like a mascot, surrounded by Zhou's mother, his second aunt, and Zhou Minmin.
Soon it was time to discuss the wedding, and the two families were discussing the date for the wedding.
Grandma Zhou and Miao Cuihua held the calendar and discussed it with each other, and soon set a date two months later.
They started discussing the betrothal gift again. They gave a thousand yuan as the betrothal gift, along with three rings and a turn. They also asked that if she married into the Zhou family, she could move out immediately, among other conditions.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Zhou Ziheng and Lu Xiangxiang with a complicated expression. She was already very surprised when their family members came in.
She didn't expect that their family would come to propose marriage, and the one who proposed marriage was Lu Xiangxiang, the woman she had never taken seriously.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng's deep and gentle gaze on Lu Xiangxiang, her heart ached.
Did she like Zhou Ziheng? Of course she did. She had liked him very much since she knew they were engaged.
My mother said she was still young, so the marriage was postponed for two years and the Zhou family didn't say anything.
But they were demoted on the day of their wedding. She liked Zhou Ziheng very much and was happy to marry him. She didn't want to divorce him and cut off all ties with him. Her parents were so angry that they broke off all ties with her. She thought it didn't matter, as long as she could be with him.
I didn't expect that life in the countryside would be so hard, but fortunately I have him to protect me.
It's just that he protected her more out of responsibility. She had been a widow for two years. He treated her very well, but he didn't love her. They slept in separate rooms every day.
Just when she was about to divorce him because she could no longer bear this dark life, the Zhou family was rehabilitated and she set out on the journey home with him. When she thought that the hard times would finally end and happiness would come to her, he died heroically on the way.
Because after his death, the Zhou family treated her very well. After all, she had endured two years of hardship with them and stayed with them at critical moments. The Zhou family had always been very good to her.
Later, she met Xu Zhiyang and fell in love with him. Only after meeting him did she know the feeling of being loved.
After starting over in life, she abandoned Zhou Ziheng without hesitation. She thought she had no feelings for him and had let it go. There was only Xu Zhiyang in her heart, but it seemed like God was playing a joke on her.
My heart was throbbing when I saw him again, and it ached when I saw that he was engaged to another woman.
If he was an indifferent and cold person, she would have accepted it. She thought that this man had no heart and no emotions, but reality gave her a heavy blow.
Why did he look at Lu Xiangxiang with such affection?
Does he like people?
Why did he?
Suddenly, I felt a pang of regret. Why did I let Lu Xiangxiang come to Kyoto?
Why let her see Zhou Ziheng falling in love with someone else?
The jealousy in her mind took shape, and she blurted out without thinking: "Grandma Zhou, you know my sister only graduated from high school, right?"
She was stunned when she said this. How could she, how could she say that to Lu Xiangxiang?
"Haha, think about when you graduated from high school? Think about it, you are a top student who graduated from Qing University, a top student with double bachelor's degrees in medicine and forensic medicine. Your fake university really can't compare to you." Miao Cuihua spoke without thinking.
She really despised Lu Zhiyao, and she despised this marriage as a "climbing up another family", so what was going on now? She thought this marriage was great and wanted to snatch it back?
Or was she simply disgusted with Xiang Xiang? She was genuinely angry at Xiang Xiang's behavior in such an environment, so her words naturally came across as less polite.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Liang Huifen was unhappy. If her daughter was criticized, she would definitely stand on her daughter's side. Who did others think they were?
"Zhiyao went to a university second only to Qing University. What kind of fake university is that?"
"In any case, it's much better than your daughter. She kept saying, 'I want to think about graduating from high school.' I think she should know what it means."
Grandma Zhou's face darkened. "Our family's relationship with Lu Zhiyao is a thing of the past. Ziheng disagreed with this matter originally, but I agreed on my own initiative. Now I think it's a good idea for you to cancel the engagement. If you hadn't, how could my grandson have met such a wonderful girl?"
After saying that, she came over and pulled Lu Xiangxiang's little hand, full of harmony.
Liang Huifen's face was peeled off by Miao Cuihua and stepped on by Grandma Zhou. She left angrily with the two children and refused to serve them anymore.
When she left like this, Lu Yuantao felt completely humiliated.
He was very angry. His well-educated daughter and wife were gone forever. Why did they have to hold him back in such an important occasion?
He wanted to repair his relationship with the Zhou family. No matter how many twists and turns there were, the result was still the same. How could he not be happy?
"Don't worry about them. Let's talk about business now. How's the discussion going with Aunt Zhou, Mom?" Lu Yuantao came over and said.
Miao Cuihua ignored him, but Grandma Zhou said calmly, "It will be on April 18th."
"Hahaha, that's fine."
"This is our betrothal gift." Grandma Zhou handed over a passbook.
