He pulled the corner of his lips with a hint of self-mockery, and when he raised his head again, Jiang Xiachu's complexion had returned to normal. He walked up to Cheng Nianhua and greeted her with a smile.
"Since Lu Huaiyan is busy, let's wait until he comes back to deal with the cancellation of the engagement."
"It's getting late, Auntie, I'll leave first."
Looking at the expression on the little girl's face, Cheng Nianhua felt very sad.
She hurried forward to stop Jiang Xiachu and held her wrist affectionately.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Auntie still has a lot to say to you."
"It's time for lunch soon. Xia Chu, why don't you stay for lunch? Auntie will make you something delicious."
Jiang Xiachu smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, Auntie, but it's not necessary."
"I'm staying at Qingli's house now. The food is already prepared and waiting for me to eat. It's better not to waste it."
As neighbors who have lived nearby for so many years, Cheng Nianhua is well aware of how close the relationship between Jiang Xiachu and Lin Qingli is.
Knowing that the child had a place to go, she instantly felt much more relieved.
"Okay, then Auntie won't force you to stay. Come back when you have the chance another day."
"Although I can't eat, I can still take some snacks back."
As Cheng Nianhua spoke, he quickly ran back into the house and took out a lot of things in large and small bags.
There are sweets that girls love, as well as some healthy and delicious cakes and snacks made by myself.
"These are a little gift from auntie, Xia Chu, don't refuse them, take them back and eat them."
"If you can't finish it yourself, you can bring it to Qingli and Yingqiu to eat together."
This treatment is just like that of a biological daughter.
Jiang Xiachu was holding Cheng Nianhua's hand, listening to her earnest exhortations. She was moved but couldn't help but sigh.
She really didn't understand why all other mothers were so nice except her own.
But no matter what Jiang Hongyan was dissatisfied with her, Jiang Xiachu understood it deeply under everyone's care and love.
This wasn't her fault, she didn't need to feel guilty about it.
"Auntie, I won't be polite to you and will accept these things."
"Don't worry, Qingli and Aunt Fang are both very nice to me. I feel more comfortable with them than at home. I will take good care of myself."
Cheng Nianhua patted the back of Jiang Xiachu's hand gently, his eyes moved.
"Good boy, I know you are a sensible person and don't want to trouble others."
"But Auntie treats you differently. You don't have to be polite to me. If you need any help, just come to me."
Meng Wanyue stood by with a wooden face, watching the happy scene in front of her.
His face remained expressionless, but his eyes could not help but dim.
It is obvious that she is the real daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
It would be fine if her mother-in-law wasn't nice to her, but why did she have to take care of a stranger like this?
Even in the Meng family, there is no one who likes his family members.
Is she really so unlikable?
Jiang Xiachu chatted briefly with Cheng Nianhua, then said goodbye again and prepared to leave.
After all, she has broken off the engagement with Lu Huaiyan, so it would not be appropriate for her to stay here any longer.
Cheng Nianhua felt that he hadn't talked enough with her yet, but the person was about to leave, so he had to reluctantly send her all the way to the gate of the courtyard.
"Xia Chu, no matter what the relationship between you and Huai Yan is, I will always treat you as my daughter."
"Don't forget your auntie. Come and play with me more often in the future."
Jiang Xiachu felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will."
Cheng Nianhua held the door frame with one hand and watched Jiang Xiachu's figure disappear around the corner of the alley.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the house, she didn't expect Meng Wanyue to suddenly follow her and walk in front of her.
"Mom, I just came back from the hospital. My parents don't know about it yet."
"I want to go back and take a look, and let them know I'm safe."
When Cheng Nianhua heard Meng Wanyue say this, he felt a headache coming on.
This eldest daughter-in-law couldn't be trying to follow Jiang Xiachu and do something weird, right?
Although he always felt that something was not right, he definitely could not say such things in front of Meng Wanyue.
Cheng Nianhua had no choice but to nod and agree. After Meng Wanyue left, he followed her for a while.
She heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the two people had walked separately twice and were heading in completely different directions.
"I hope I did the right thing. Our family really can't bring any more trouble to Xia Chu."
The child's family situation is complicated and things are not easy for him.
Recently, because of the broken engagement on her side, I don't know how much pressure it has brought to her.
Cheng Nianhua really didn't want Meng Wanyue to go after Jiang Xiachu, even though her eldest daughter-in-law usually pretended to be very good and always behaved well in front of her.
But she is in her 40s after all, how could she not see who is sincere?
Finally, taking a look in the direction where Jiang Xiachu left, Cheng Nianhua suppressed his worries, turned around and closed the gate.
On the other side, Jiang Xiachu had no idea what happened after he left.
The distance between the Lu family and Lin Qingli's family is not too far, and there is a department store in between.
Jiang Xiachu weighed the food in her hand that Cheng Nianhua had stuffed into her hand, and wondered whether she should buy some meat and vegetables to bring back for everyone to eat together.
After thinking about it, I felt it was not appropriate.
