Lu Huaiyan was not someone who could be easily manipulated, and Cheng Nianhua had already prepared himself for a long speech to convince him.
After all, their family was at fault for what happened today. Regardless of whether this marriage can continue or not, they must show an attitude.
However, after Lu Huaiyan took the ointments, he turned around and walked towards the door without saying a word.
"Well, I'll go find her now."
The speed was so fast that Cheng Nianhua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he called him to stop with a helpless smile.
"Wait a minute, listen to what I have to say before you go."
Lu Huaiyan paused, turned back and urged her with his eyes to speak quickly.
This action made Cheng Nianhua shake her head speechlessly, but when she spoke, the expression on her face suddenly became serious.
"When you go find Xia Chu later, remember to be humble and apologize to the child."
"Don't talk nonsense when you go there. You must maintain your sense of propriety when you are with others, especially be careful of those neighbors who like to gossip."
Lu Huaiyan heard the hidden meaning in her words and his eyes moved slightly: "What do you mean?"
"What does 'can' mean?"
Cheng Nianhua got angry when talking about this: "You usually stay in the army, so you don't know how many rumors Xia Chu has suffered because of her engagement with you."
"There are always people who think Xia Chu is not worthy of our family. I haven't heard these things before, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageous now."
"They all said that Xia Chu was ugly and ordinary, and that marrying you was beyond her reach. I think these people must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, so they ignored Xia Chu's good points and maliciously fabricated bad things about her."
"When you get there, tell Xia Chu that if she is still willing to marry you, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter in the future. When you two get married, she should be the one marrying down!"
What Cheng Nianhua hates most are those gossipy women who love to gossip about others behind their backs.
As she spoke, she became so angry that she rolled up her sleeves.
"These people are really going too far. Our family is so far away from Xia Chu's family. Even I heard it with my own ears, let alone Xia Chu."
"This child has suffered so much injustice and never said anything. It's really pitiful and makes people feel distressed."
Lu Huaiyan also just found out about this. Jiang Xiachu never mentioned this to him when they met before.
Only then did he realize how much injustice she had suffered in places where he couldn't see.
In an instant, Lu Huaiyan's eyes became extremely cold.
Thinking of Jiang Xiachu's indifferent look and attitude when they met just now, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
"I understand. I will take care of this matter."
Lu Huaiyan nodded at Cheng Nianhua, took the ointment and walked out.
Although he didn't say anything, Cheng Nianhua could see that his son was still very worried about Jiang Xiachu's injuries.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the trouble to deliver the medicine in person.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, hope instantly arose in Cheng Nianhua's heart.
I felt that there was a glimmer of hope in this precarious marriage.
Jiang Xiachu is the daughter-in-law she has set her eyes on, and she hopes that Lu Huaiyan can be more sensible and bring her home as soon as possible.
I thought that although Lu Huaiyan was not talkative, he was a reliable person after all.
Cheng Nianhua breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to sit down and rest for a while.
But as soon as her butt touched the chair, she jumped up again as if she was scalded.
"No, this damn guy only said that he would deal with the matter of people gossiping about Xia Chu behind her back."
"But he didn't tell me how to save the marriage!"
This guy is fine most of the time, but his mind becomes a little confused when it comes to emotional matters.
He should not be so impulsive as to cancel the marriage, otherwise she would beat him to death when she came back.
The more Cheng Nianhua thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He paced around in the yard, feeling extremely anxious.
Lu Huaiyan went out to look for Jiang Xiachu, but suddenly turned to another place halfway.
"What are you doing in my house?"
"The news that Jiang Xiachu wants to break off the engagement with you has reached me."
Lu Huaiyan's childhood friend Pei Yunchen looked disappointed and blocked the door to prevent him from entering.
"Why don't you find a way to coax people instead of running around everywhere?"
Lu Huaiyan frowned and looked at him speechlessly.
"Xia Chu's face is injured. Let me prescribe some medicine for her. Get out of the way."
Mr. Pei is an old military doctor who just retired. His medical skills are second to none in the country, especially in traditional Chinese medicine.
Lu Huaiyan also remembered what Cheng Nianhua had just said, that girls attach great importance to their appearance and don’t want to be left with scars.
I came here specially to ask Mr. Pei to help me prescribe some scar removal medicine.
Pei Yunchen then realized that he had misunderstood, and quickly made way for him and led him into the house.
"You've come just in time. My grandfather hasn't left yet. Come with me. The materials for making scar removal medicine are ready."
Lu Huaiyan nodded and followed him into the house.
While the ointment was being prepared, he stood by and waited patiently.
There were guests at home, especially since the guest was his childhood friend, Pei Yunchen naturally had to accompany them.
He leaned against the wall with his arms folded, but his eyes couldn't help but keep glancing at Lu Huaiyan's face.
The more he looked, the more doubtful his eyes became.
Pei Yunchen really couldn't understand Lu Huaiyan. He had no idea what was going on between him and Jiang Xiachu.
When Pei Yunchen first heard that Jiang Xiachu wanted to cancel the engagement, he thought that the two had some conflict and broke up.
