When Cheng Nianhua mentioned her remarriage, the smile on his face deepened, "When the time comes, I will definitely let you marry in style!"
Seeing Cheng Nianhua being so active and enthusiastic, Meng Wanyue felt a little unhappy.
What does it mean?
Are you so anxious to push her out?
She did not hide her emotions, and nodded with a sad look in her eyes, and then hinted: "Let it be, even though Huai Yan has broken off the engagement, I don't know when I will find a partner."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Nianhua.
Cheng Nianhua's eyes flashed with a hint of smile, and he continued to pick beans calmly, saying calmly: "Don't worry, Huai Yan. Your father and I are not in a hurry. We will ignore him for the time being and just solve your problem."
"We have loved you all these years, so naturally we have to put you first."
Her tone was exceptionally gentle, yet it carried a strength that could not be refused.
The words that Meng Wanyue was about to say were instantly blocked in her stomach. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, "I..."
Cheng Nianhua put down the beans and looked at her seriously, "Wanyue, don't worry, after you get married, you will be Huaiyan's sister. He will definitely take care of you as a sister and will definitely not let Jingyuan worry in his grave."
As she spoke, she sighed, "I've let you guard me like this for so many years. It's really hard for you."
Cheng Nianhua's words came one after another, making Meng Wanyue almost breathless.
Her face became even gloomier, but she could only force a smile. That smile was uglier than crying, and it looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
Cheng Nianhua couldn't stand it any longer and didn't know how to respond. After saying a few perfunctory words, he got up and went into the house.
Damn it.
She returned to the room without hesitation, slammed the door shut, and leaned against it. Her eyes turned red in an instant.
What elder sister?
When did she say she wanted to be Lu Huaiyan's elder sister? ? Cheng Nianhua clearly knew everything, but she still had to play dumb and deliberately said those words to anger her.
Whatever it is for her own good.
If it's really for her own good, and you can see that she likes Lu Huaiyan, why can't you just give them a push and let them be together?
The more Meng Wanyue thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She fell headfirst onto her bed, buried her head in the quilt, and tears streamed down her face.
Meng Wanyue was crying so hard that she kept gasping for breath. She was so angry that she suddenly sat up from the bed, wiped her tears, grabbed the cup on the table and wanted to throw it to the ground.
But when her hand was halfway up in the air, she stopped.
no.
She couldn't let Cheng Nianhua see her lose her temper.
Meng Wanyue broke down emotionally and sat on the edge of the bed sobbing. She wanted to lose her temper but she could only do it secretly as she was afraid of being seen by others.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She lowered her eyes, lifted her sleeves, and revealed her slender wrists.
There was a small peach blossom mole on her wrist. After taking a look at it, she sniffed and put her sleeves down to hide the mole, her eyes were dark and unclear.
She had someone create this peach blossom mole; it is not a birthmark, but no one has ever noticed it and everyone thought she was born with it.
She hid it well all these years.
Thinking of that woman, she curled her lips.
The only person who truly belonged to the Meng family and could expose her and pose a threat to her is long gone.
Her identity was hidden so well that no one would discover it.
Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed in Meng Wanyue's eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and sneered.
Since she dared to do this, she would not easily give up what she wanted.
A long time ago, she vowed to become the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family in a Beijing hutong compound and live a good life.
Especially an outstanding man like Lu Huaiyan.
She was determined to win.

Jiang Xiachu walked back carrying a basket and a bulging cloth bag in his hand.
The aunts who were originally a little gossipy, now saw her and came up to her, praising her beauty.
The occasional sarcastic remarks were gone, and now all they said were praising her.
After chatting with the aunts for a few words, Jiang Xiachu hurriedly left, making the excuse that he had some other things to deal with at home.
She kept speeding up her pace, and could vaguely hear the praises behind her from afar, and she sighed helplessly.
In this society where appearance is everything, how come even middle-aged women care about appearance?
Whenever she went to the Lu family before, what she feared most were the group of aunts at the entrance of the alley.
If she passed by them, she might be ruined in less than half a day.
In the past, they would even dare to point fingers directly at her when they had to complain about her faults, but now they all praise her enthusiastically.
Jiang Xiachu shuddered and didn't want to stay any longer, so he left quickly.

Not long after Jiang Xiachu left, Fang Yingqiu felt a little tired and packed her things to go home, but when she turned around, the little girl was gone.
She looked at her girl with some confusion, frowned and asked, "Where's Xia Chu?"
Lin Qingli glanced at the gossiping aunts beside her, and didn't intend to tell the truth directly: "Xia Chu was a little thirsty, so she went home first."
Although these aunts all supported Xia Chu, if they directly told her that she had gone to the Lu family, it would probably be spread out.
It’s better to have less trouble than more. At worst, I can just go home and explain it to my mother.
Thinking about it, Lin Qingli continued: "I am also a little tired, Mom, let's go back first and come back to chat with the aunts another day."
Lin Qingli smiled sweetly, and the aunties beside her didn't think much about it. They smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, go back and rest for a while. You are exhausted today!"
Fang Yingqiu waved her hand and said, "Okay, Sister Niu, Aunt Xu, we'll go back first."
"Okay! We should go home and cook soon!"
“…”
After arriving home, Fang Yingqiu put down her things, looked left and right but didn't see Jiang Xiachu, so she turned her head away in confusion.
"Where's Xia Chu?"
Lin Qingli took a sip of water, and then he explained: "There were a lot of people outside just now, and I didn't say anything. Xia Chu went to Lu's house."
Fang Yingqiu was a little surprised and frowned, "Why are you going to the Lu family?"
"Lu Huaiyan is back. She asked Lu Huaiyan to go to the Political Department to discuss the marriage report."
After hearing Lin Qingli's answer, Fang Yingqiu nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, you will be joining the art troupe soon, so you should resolve this matter as soon as possible."
After Fang Yingqiu packed up her things, she took out the handkerchief she had not finished embroidering, sat under the eaves, and embroidered in the bright sunlight, while she and Lin Qingli waited for Jiang Xiachu to come back.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the yard.
Yu Yu heard the noise and raised his head at the same time, only to see that Jiang Xiachu looked a little unhappy.
