After receiving the news that Lu Huaiyan had returned, Jiang Xiachu didn't want to delay any longer and wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
The results of the art troupe exam will be out soon. When she joins the troupe, she doesn't want her relationship with him to be blurred because of these trivial matters, so it is better to draw a clear line in advance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiachu glanced at Lin Qingli and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go right away. Please tell Aunt Fang for me. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
Lin Qingli nodded: "Well, go ahead, I'll explain it to her clearly."
After the voice fell, Jiang Xiachu didn't even have time to change clothes. He directly handed the things in his hand to Lin Qingli, and then strode towards the direction of the Lu family.
Fortunately, the distance between the alleys was not too far, so she walked with big strides and passed by the Meng family.
However, Jiang Xiachu did not stop, and did not even give him a glance.
Su Jieyu happened to come back from outside at this moment, and suddenly saw a slender figure in the distance, and her steps paused.
The girl had a single braided pigtail and seemed to have something to do, so she trotted forward.
Although she only saw her face vaguely and it was not very clear, she did not recognize whose girl she was, but it was not difficult to see that she was a particularly beautiful and lively girl.
There was a flash of surprise in Su Jieyu's eyes. She was in a trance for a moment and couldn't help but look a few more times.
While she was standing at the door in a daze, Meng Anyao came out of the yard, stuck her head out curiously, and looked in the direction Su Jieyu was looking.
Jiang Xiachu had already walked far away at this moment, her figure became very small and blurry, and she did not recognize her, but she was indeed slender and beautiful.
But seeing Su Jieyu's face full of surprise and admiration, Meng Anyao inexplicably felt a little unhappy.
Can't she be the only one in her mother's eyes?
"Who is that?" Meng Anyao suppressed her displeasure, frowned as she looked at the figure in the distance, and asked.
Su Jieyu shook her head, her eyes full of admiration, "I don't know who she is, but she looks so beautiful, very suitable for dancing, with natural proportions. It would be nice if she studied dancing."
Su Jieyu praised generously, not noticing the jealousy in Meng Anyao's eyes.
She silently said "tsk" in her heart and pouted in displeasure, but she didn't say much in front of Su Jieyu.
-
Dongfang Hutong, Lu family.
After Lu Huaiyan got out of the car, the door was not closed and he strode in directly.
He came back today just to talk to Cheng Nianhua and he didn't stay at home for long. After going to the army this time, he probably won't come back in the short term.
Because I was getting engaged and married to Jiang Xiachu, I took a wedding leave in advance, so there is not much to do in the army these days and I am not very busy.
In the courtyard, in the kitchen nearby, Cheng Nianhua was sitting on a chair, picking beans slowly and leisurely.
When she heard the footsteps outside the door, she just raised her eyelids slightly. After seeing who was coming, she lowered her eyes again and continued to pick beans.
Lu Huaiyan: “…”
He frowned, looked at his mother, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, I guess I won't be home for a while."
Cheng Nianhua was too lazy to move when he heard his words. He didn't even look at him. He said "Oh" and said calmly: "I know."
He is useless at home anyway and can't even control his daughter-in-law. He might as well go to the army to train hard and improve himself.
Who knows, one day Xia Chu might suddenly look back and see him again.
Seeing Cheng Nianhua's reaction, Lu Huaiyan smiled helplessly.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Meng Wanyue suddenly strode out from the main room with a happy look on her face and a light laugh.
"Huai Yan is back?"
She spoke softly with a smile in her tone.
Lu Huaiyan looked in the direction of the voice and nodded in response, "Yeah, I just got back."
Meng Wanyue straightened her skirt, tucked her hair behind her ears, and walked up to him. "I just heard you say that you won't be coming back soon?"
Lu Huaiyan nodded and was about to answer when he suddenly heard footsteps and a bang.
Following the sound, Meng Wanyue's face froze instantly.
After she came out, Cheng Nianhua picked up the iron basin full of beans without saying a word, picked up a bench and sat down in the yard.
While picking beans, she looked up at the two of them and said with a smile, "It's too stuffy in the house. I'll come out to pick some beans. You guys continue chatting."
As she spoke, she also glanced at Lu Huaiyan.
Meng Wanyue: “…”
I originally wanted to talk to Lu Huaiyan alone, but when I saw my mother-in-law's attitude, I immediately understood what she meant. I clenched my hands awkwardly, and the words I wanted to say were suddenly held back.
With someone staring at her, she couldn't say anything more.
Lu Huaiyan stood in front of her, turned his head to look at the clock hanging in the main room, and then looked outside the door.
"Sister-in-law, what can I do for you?"
There were other things to deal with in the army, and he had taken time out to come back, so he didn't have that much time to waste.
He didn't even keep his eyes on Meng Wanyue for too long. He looked outside from time to time, obviously in a hurry to return to the army.
Seeing how anxious Lu Huaiyan was, Meng Wanyue didn't want to keep him any longer and waste his time.
Her heart tightened, and she narrowed her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.
In the past, when Jiang Xiachu was around him every day, she felt a little unbalanced and always admired it.
Later, when they got engaged, she couldn't accept it even more.
She finally waited for them to break off the engagement. She originally thought that after breaking off the engagement with Jiang Xiachu, her relationship with Lu Huaiyan would become warmer.
As a result, Lu Huaiyan is now more distant from her than before. His kindness and patience towards her are only due to his eldest brother's instructions.
Thinking of this, Meng Wanyue felt a little sad.
She sighed, her brows slightly knitted, her expression somewhat indescribably sad and frustrated, she raised her eyes to look at Lu Huaiyan, raised the corners of her lips reluctantly, and said: "Huaiyan, you don't have to worry about Jing Yuan's words before he died, and put too much burden on yourself."
"I can take care of myself now, and I don't want to bother you to help me and take care of me anymore."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, which were filled with mist. She swallowed, raised her eyes again, and said in a calm voice, "Listen to mom. If I meet someone suitable in the future, I will remarry and not live like this anymore."
Meng Wanyue lowered her voice, "After I remarry and leave the Lu family, I won't have to cause you any more trouble..."
The further she spoke, the softer Meng Wanyue's voice became, but it was still loud enough for all three of them to hear clearly.
Cheng Nianhua, who was picking beans, frowned slightly and couldn't help but look up.
After she finished speaking, she met Lu Huaiyan's gaze, trying to catch something from his expression.
I originally thought that Lu Huaiyan would be a little worried when he heard her mention remarriage.
After all, she was sure that Lu Huaiyan did not like Jiang Xiachu. At most, he just treated her as a sister. The relationship between them was just brother and sister.
But he treats himself completely differently, he is really good to himself.
