Chapter 18 Lu Huaiyan asks Jiang Hongyan for the betrothal money and gives it all to Xia Chu



Lu Huaiyan's attitude is so tough, it seems that he has made up his mind.

This marriage has to be cancelled.

The sudden double blow made Jiang Hongyan feel overwhelmed.

Thinking about his own home that had been ransacked, he felt even more devastated.

Why is her life so miserable? All the bad things happen to her alone.

Originally, she was not very happy about the marriage between Jiang Xiachu and Lu Huaiyan, and she only agreed reluctantly because she thought that she would benefit from Jiang Xiachu's marriage into the Lu family.

But she didn't expect that her plan would fail. Not only was the marriage cancelled, but Lu Huaiyan also came over and ordered her to take out all her money and give it to Jiang Xiachu.

Isn't this Chunchun trying to kill her?

Jiang Hongyan was simply reluctant to spend so much money on Jiang Xiachu and couldn't bear to see her living a good life.

Not to mention that he didn't have a penny on him now, as all of it had been stolen.

Even if Lu Huaiyan forced her to take it out, she really couldn't afford the betrothal money.

Things happened one after another, and Jiang Hongyan was almost crying to death.

She had no choice but to slap her thigh, wipe her tears hypocritically and complain to Lu Huaiyan.

"Jiang Xiachu is my daughter after all. If I had money, would I not give it to her? Now I really have no choice."

"No one was robbed this afternoon. When I came back just now, I saw that the house was completely empty. Even the furniture had been taken away, and nothing valuable was left behind."

"Commander Lu, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. All the money I saved up over the years has been stolen. Now I can't even afford to eat, so how can I have any spare money for Jiang Xiachu?"

Jiang Hongyan now just wanted to get rid of Lu Huaiyan as soon as possible and then run to report to the police.

Maybe the thief hasn't run far now, and if she is quick enough, she can catch him.

It’s just that everyone in the alley lives close to each other, and the He family’s commotion caused such a big fuss that it naturally attracted a lot of people to come and watch the fun.

The neighbors gathered at the gate of the yard and were talking a lot. They couldn't help but click their tongues when they heard what Jiang Hongyan said.

"That shouldn't be the case. There wasn't a single stranger in the alley this afternoon. I didn't see any suspicious people at all. Not to mention that even if they were stealing, they couldn't have taken away the furniture."

"The He family has so many things, it's impossible that they just grew wings and flew away."

Everyone in the alley knew that Jiang Hongyan was not kind to her own daughter at all, and treated her worse than her adopted daughter.

Everyone suspected that Jiang Hongyan didn't want to hand over the betrothal money honestly, so she said this on purpose.

Lu Huaiyan thought so in his heart, but he was too lazy to say more to Jiang Hongyan.

His stern brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of impatience appeared in his eyes.

"Whether it was really stolen or not, my mother gave you the betrothal money personally, so you have the obligation to keep it."

"Now that Xia Chu and I have called off our marriage, this money naturally has nothing to do with you. Just remember to take out the money and return it to Xia Chu."

Lu Huaiyan said the same thing again. He would find a way to contact Jiang Xiachu in a few days to confirm whether she had received the money.

In this matter, Jiang Hongyan and He Dayuan had no room for any mischief.

Seeing the contemptuous looks from the neighbors around her, Jiang Hongyan felt so aggrieved.

She didn't understand why these people refused to believe her when the evidence was right in front of them.

Not to mention the furniture, kitchen items need to be purchased and He Yiran also needs to pay the hospital bill.

Jiang Hongyan is extremely short of money now, but she doesn't dare to offend Lu Huaiyan by not agreeing to his words.

She really had no other choice but to try every possible means to save the marriage.

Jiang Hongyan thought that Lu Huaiyan and his family came here to force her like this because they were angry.

Since it was Jiang Xiachu who took the initiative to cancel the engagement, she would push all the blame onto Jiang Xiachu.

If we can appease Lu Huaiyan and his mother, the issue of breaking off the engagement can be easily resolved.

Jiang Hongyan thought she was very smart. She started to criticize Jiang Xiachu in front of so many people.

"Commander Lu, I know you are angry, so you came here to say you agree to cancel the engagement. It is indeed Jiang Xiachu's fault, and you have reason to be angry."

"Jiang Xiachu is already such a grown-up, but she still has no manners at all. She acts so capriciously. I feel ashamed of her if I tell anyone about it."

"Only you, Chief Lu, are kind-hearted enough to not mind her ugly appearance and disfigurement on her face. If you don't marry her, no other man will want her in the future."

"Commander Lu, please consider it a favor and give her another chance. When Jiang Xiachu comes back, I will definitely give her a good beating and make sure she never dares to have an attack again."

As the neighbors listened, their expressions changed a little.

Although I know that Jiang Hongyan is not good to her own daughter, what she did at this moment is too much.

It wasn't Jiang Xiachu's own will that she got disfigured.

It would have been fine if Jiang Hongyan, as a mother, didn't know how to comfort her, but in front of so many neighbors, she didn't even care about her dignity at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiachu was not here at the moment, otherwise I don’t know how much my self-esteem would be hurt.

The expression on Lu Huaiyan's face became increasingly gloomy, and when he finally spoke, his voice had become exceptionally serious and sharp.

"Shut up."

"You can't just look at a person's appearance, the most important thing is their heart. Jiang Xiachu is the only college student in the area. If she was really as useless as you said, she wouldn't have achieved such success."

"Jiang Xiachu is already very good, and she is not ugly. Even if you are her mother, please be respectful when you speak to her."
