Cheng Nianhua was extremely worried. He wanted to go look for them, but was afraid that no one would be home when they returned.
Just when I was wondering whether to go out or not, Meng Anyao suddenly came.
She was well brought up by her family, especially in dealing with people.
Before she even stepped into the courtyard, she greeted us with a smile.
"Aunt Cheng."
Unexpectedly, Meng Anyao suddenly came over at this critical moment. Cheng Nianhua was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he hurriedly greeted her.
"It's An Yao. It's already so late. What's the matter that brought you here so suddenly?"
"I just came here to let you know I'm safe."
While talking to Cheng Nianhua, Meng Anyao looked around inconspicuously.
When she found out that Lu Huaiyan was not at home, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"My cousin has always been in poor health. Today, she suddenly fainted for some reason. I was shocked."
"Fortunately, Brother Lu arrived in time and took my cousin to the hospital right away. He also took the trouble to stay by her side the whole time."
"My cousin is fine now, thanks to Brother Lu."
I didn’t expect that my eldest daughter-in-law didn’t come home because of this reason.
Cheng Nianhua had just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what happened, and was still feeling lucky that nothing happened to Meng Wanyue.
When she heard the second half of the sentence, saying that Lu Huaiyan had been staying in the hospital, she almost couldn't hold back.
She never expected that Lu Huaiyan would be absent from such an important occasion as the engagement party.
It turned out to be because of his eldest daughter-in-law.
These two people usually look quite normal. They don't look like they were kicked in the brain by a donkey. What kind of thing did they do?
In an instant, Cheng Nianhua's fists stiffened. If Lu Huaiyan appeared in front of her now, she would definitely grab him and beat him up.
But now he had to suppress his anger and talk to Meng Anyao.
"Thank you, An Yao, for coming all the way to tell me this. You've worked hard."
"It's okay, Aunt Cheng. This is what I should do."
Meng Anyao didn't plan to stay long, so she walked back after saying that.
When she went out, she saw that several old ladies who were chatting in the alley had heard what she had just said.
It seems that her decision to stand at the door and talk to Cheng Nianhua was the right one.
Meng Anyao suppressed the pride in her heart and walked through the crowd with a normal expression.
The neighbors were still immersed in the huge amount of information in her words and couldn't help but talk about it.
"Chief Lu's marriage is really bumpy."
"It's not enough to deal with Jiang Xiachu, and now Meng Wanyue is involved."
Old Mrs. Zhao slapped her thigh, her tone very sad.
"I think it's good the way it is now. Jiang Xiachu was not good-looking to begin with, and now she is disfigured. If anyone marries her, he will never be able to hold his head up high in the future."
"It would be a shame if Chief Lu, such a good guy, wasted his time like this."
"Fortunately, they have called off the engagement now. If you ask me, Chief Lu is more suitable for Wanyue. They are what we call a talented man and a beautiful woman."
There were still a few normal people in the alley. When they heard her words, several people around her immediately showed expressions of disapproval.
"It's not appropriate to use words like 'match or not' to describe Chief Lu and Wanyue."
"No matter what, they are still the elder sister-in-law and younger uncle. Even if the eldest brother of the Lu family is gone, they can't be together. This is against human ethics."
Aunt Zhou and Old Lady Zhao have always had the same bad taste, and she became instantly displeased when she heard this.
"How can this be considered against human ethics? Don't you see what era this is? Why are people still as feudal as before?"
"It's Chief Lu's freedom to choose who he wants to be with. If he really wants to marry Wanyue, is there anyone who can stop him?"
The two old ladies were muttering to each other.
"Besides, if Chief Lu's eldest brother hadn't taken a fancy to Wanyue first and married her, Wanyue should be Chief Lu's wife now."
"The two of them went through so many twists and turns, but in the end they still got together. This is a great fate."
These two old ladies are notorious for their gossips. They can make a fuss even if there is nothing to say. They can even turn white into black.
The neighbors knew they couldn't match Lu Huaiyan's eloquence, and they also believed that with Lu Huaiyan's character, he would never do such an immoral thing.
They shook their heads and went home.
The streets that were bustling just now were suddenly empty.
Old Lady Zhao and Aunt Zhou were still unhappy: "Hey, what's wrong with us praising Wanyue a few times? I don't know why these people are objecting."
However, no one noticed that Meng Anyao, who had already walked to the entrance of the alley with her back to them, suddenly looked extremely ugly.
How could any person of the opposite sex who came into contact with such an outstanding man like Lu Huaiyan not have a good impression of him?
Meng Anyao was one of them, although because of her family education, she was embarrassed to say directly that she liked someone else's fiancé.
But she has liked Lu Huaiyan for many years.
Originally, when she heard Aunt Zhou tell Old Lady Zhao that Lu Huaiyan had broken off the engagement, she was very happy.
The corners of her lips were about to rise to her temples, but before she could be happy for long, she heard them say that they thought Lu Huaiyan and Meng Wanyue would be a good match.
The expression on Meng Anyao's face froze instantly, and she felt nauseous in her heart.
Are these old guys blind? I really don't know what kind of matchmaking they are doing here.
