Chapter 12: Natsuki Ling



No one at the scene believed this. Yan Sisi even pulled the girl standing in front of her, stared into her eyes and asked sincerely, "Can you tell me?"

Since they refused to say, she would just ask the other party directly, and someone would eventually tell her.

Xia Yueling didn't have that much scruples and said directly: "Xu Weiming is my blind date this time, what about you?"

There was no way they could be the distant relatives they were talking about.

Wu Fang didn't dare to say anything after hearing what Xia Yueling said. She was just afraid that Yan Sisi would reveal her relationship with her son and hinder the relationship between her family and the Xia family. She looked at the delicate Yan Sisi with cold eyes and said in a faint voice: "Sisi, dear child, is your father's work going well recently?"

No matter what, she would never let such a weak girl marry her son. Only a girl of equal social status was worthy of her son.

Yan Sisi heard the greetings but threats. They were the ones who did something wrong, but they still had such an attitude. She said directly to the bright and sunny girl in front of her: "I am Xu Weiming's fiancée, not the distant relative they mentioned. Our family can't have such a relative."

Before, she thought Xu Weiming was just indecisive, but she didn't expect that he would go on blind dates with other girls even though he was already engaged. This simply touched her bottom line.

Yan Sisi pressed her palms hard with her fingernails, using the pain to remind herself to stay calm. She turned her cold eyes to Xu Weiming, who had been standing there without saying a word, and said, "I will go to Master Xu this week to cancel the engagement. I hope you can think of a suitable reason by then."

Then he turned to look at Xu Weiming's mother and returned her threat, saying, "Aunt, if my father suddenly lost his job or got into trouble with his boss, I don't know what I would say to Grandpa Xu. Then your precious son would..."

Everyone understands that Yan Sisi deliberately left half of her words unsaid. This is the best she can do at the moment. If she really wants to fall out, Grandpa Xu, who has always been very kind to her, will not be able to bear it.

Yan Sisi used all her strength to control herself and turned away stiffly. Seeing that the man had left, Xia Yueling took the things she had bought from Xu Weiming and looked coldly at the mother and son who had deceived their family, "Auntie, you have to think carefully about how to explain this to my mother."

After saying this, Xia Yueling left the department store without looking back, regardless of the other party's reaction.

Xu Weiming looked at the two women who left one after the other, and said exhaustedly to his mother who had been trying to control him, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Son, I'm doing this for your own good." Wu Fang looked at her beloved son in shock. In the end, it was her fault?

Xu Weiming glanced at his mother with annoyance and left without looking back, leaving Wu Fang alone to curse fiercely under the strange looks of the crowd.

Yan Sisi walked all the way to the other side of the department store before she shed the tears she had been holding back. After all, that was the man she had always thought she would marry, and no matter how much she had said before that she didn't care, she couldn't help but feel sad when it came to this.

Gu Jingping saw her arguing with someone at first sight in the department store. Including the first time she fell into the water, this was the fourth time he had met her.

He watched her fight with others, watched her walk and cry with tears in her eyes, afraid that she would be upset, so he followed her from a distance. He watched her cry all the way, watched her stand there and wipe her tears with her sleeves, watched her open the door, and only turned around when she could no longer see anyone.

Yan Sisi cried for a long time with tears in her eyes. Looking at the family compound that was almost in front of her, she was afraid that her parents would find out that she was crying, so she stopped and wiped her tears. She stood outside in the wind for a while, and only approached the house when her eyes were dry and no traces of tears could be seen.

The first thing Yan Sisi saw when she got home was her long-lost father sitting on a stool in the living room. She immediately called out in a joyful voice, "Dad, you're back."

The moment she saw her father, Yan Sisi couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Looking at her father's injured arm, she quickly suppressed the tears in her eyes.

Father Yan was sitting on a stool watching his daughter coming home. He immediately noticed something was wrong and asked nervously, "Daughter, you are crying."

Yan Sisi opened her eyes wide and said, "No, just now a fly flew into my eye outside. Maybe I rubbed it too hard!"

Yan Sisi ran directly to her father and coquettishly pulled his hand: "Dad, why didn't you wait for me to pick you up? Didn't Mom say she would pick you up in the evening?"

Yan Xiangdong came out with the cooked dishes and saw his cousin coming back. He hurriedly called out, "Sisi, come in and help."

Yan Sisi heard Brother Xiang Dong coming over to interrupt, so she hugged her father and ran to the kitchen to help her mother, taking charge of the task of washing vegetables in the kitchen.

Yan Sisi was so absorbed in washing vegetables that she soon forgot the unpleasantness that had happened before. Soon the three of them had cooked a table full of dishes.

While eating, Yan's father praised her: "Sisi's mother, I haven't seen your cooking skills improve in just a few days."

"Yes, Auntie. The food you cook is more delicious than the one cooked by the chef in the state-owned hotel. I don't want to go back home after eating it."

Mother Yan was so delighted by the compliments that she couldn't stop serving them food. "If it tastes good, eat more. Xiangdong will sleep here with your second uncle tonight."

While they were praising each other, Yan Sisi quickly picked up her favorite braised pork with her chopsticks. She thought her action was the best compliment to her mother for cooking.

Sure enough, the next second, Yan's mother looked at Yan Sisi eating with relish and put a few more pieces of meat into her bowl. Yan Sisi looked up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom."

After that, she picked up the bowl of braised pork and poured the thick sauce on the rice. Every time she cooked braised pork at home, her mother would add seasonings. The thick sauce, white rice, and the braised pork that was just right tasted really good.

After finishing the meal, Yan Sisi sat in a chair with satisfaction and said whimsically, "It would be nice if I could eat like this every day."

Father Yan held his bloated belly and agreed, "Yes, Sisi's mother will buy some meat tomorrow."

He felt like he was losing weight after drinking soup and eating porridge in the hospital every day.

Yan's mother cleared the dishes on the table and rolled her eyes at the two people paralyzed in the chairs. "It's good to have a meal once in a while. How can you want to eat it every day?"

Yan Xiangdong stood up to help clean up the dishes and smiled schadenfreude at the two people who were being lectured.

Yan Sisi didn't care what her mother said. She had made some money in the past two days, so it was enough to buy some meat. The current policy did not allow private breeding of animals. If she could buy some animals and raise them in the space, she would always have meat to eat.

What should I buy? Chickens? No, chickens can fly, and they will fly around in the space, and who knows what a mess it will make. Ducks? No, they can't run either. Pigs? I can't afford them. After thinking about it, it seems that I can only buy some fish and shrimps to raise in the space, which can neither run nor fly and are cheap.

After a short break, everyone sat in front of the TV again, watching the black and white characters telling stories about the underworld. Yan Xiangdong rarely had the opportunity to watch a TV series, so he couldn't help but sit down and watch it together, and didn't get up to say goodbye until the episode ended.

Seeing Brother Xiangdong leaving, Yan Sisi couldn't help but yawn, "Dad, I'm going back to sleep, you guys continue watching!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards his room.

When Yan's father saw his daughter return to her room, he immediately winked at his wife. Yan's mother was watching the TV series with great interest and didn't notice her husband's expression at all. It was not until she was patted that she asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"When the lady came back, something seemed wrong. Go and have a look."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Yan's mother stood up and walked to the lady's room. She took a step inside and then quietly stepped out, whispering to her nervous husband, "She's asleep."

Father Yan immediately stood up and turned off the TV. He also lowered his voice and said, "Then let's go to bed early. I have to go to the factory tomorrow to check on the situation. Remember to ask the daughter tomorrow."

The next morning, Yan Sisi woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. She got up and turned off the alarm clock on the table. Suddenly, she remembered that today was a school day, and she was so scared that she woke up immediately.

Yan Sisi looked at the alarm clock and saw it was 6:50. She then relaxed, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and tidied herself in front of the mirror. When she left the room, breakfast had already been placed on the table by her mother.

"Mom, what did you cook for breakfast today? It smells so good."

"You are such a sweet talker. I bought you your favorite tofu pudding. Come and eat it!"

Yan Sisi was thinking about the time to go to school, so she didn't dare to waste a single moment to eat. After eating, she picked up her packed schoolbag and said to her mother who was still busy in the kitchen, "Mom, I'm going to school."

After saying that, she ran out like the wind without waiting for a response. When she arrived at the school and sat down at her desk, the bell for class rang.

Before she had the chance to say hello to her friends in front of her, her classmates began to read aloud from their textbooks. Amid the sound of reading, Yan Sisi also took out her textbook and began to read attentively.

When the bell rang, Jiang Siyue, who had just stood up straight, immediately turned around and looked at Yan Sisi happily. He grabbed her hand and shook it, saying, "Sisi, you finally came to class. Are you healed?"

Facing her friend's concern, Yan Sisi smiled and said, "Okay, you can take off the bandage tomorrow."

Wen Xuan, my deskmate, quietly watched them chattering together. After they finished chatting, he handed them the notes he had written in his notebook and said in a gentle voice, "Student Sisi, this is what I wrote down in the class over the past few days. Take it and have a look!"

Yan Sisi was obviously stunned for a moment, and under Jiang Siyue's frown, she said awkwardly: "Siyue helped me remember it, thank you, squad leader."

After saying that, he held Siyue's hand tightly and looked straight at his friend. Seeing his friend like this, Jiang Siyue could only make a joke to save the situation: "Yes, squad leader. I have already remembered it for Sisi. You are not going to steal my credit!"
