Lin Qingli saw through Jiang Xiachu's mood at a glance and quickly changed the subject, asking her to explain the whole story in detail.
Knowing that Lin Qingli had a bad temper, Jiang Xiachu was afraid that she would be impulsive again, so he hurried to comfort her with a few words.
"It's true that He Yiran led people to push me into the river and accidentally injured my face, but she didn't get any benefits herself."
"I smashed her head with a brick right there and then. I guess she's still in the hospital now."
After hearing this, Lin Qingli couldn't help but give Jiang Xiachu a thumbs up and praised her for a good job.
But soon she showed a distressed expression again, and came over and gently hugged Jiang Xiachu.
"He Yiran is so evil that he can even do something as outrageous as intentional murder. Who knows what else he might be up to behind the scenes."
"Xia Chu, I'm worried about you living alone at home. You should move out immediately and never go back."
Fang Yingqiu nodded continuously beside her, hoping that Jiang Xiachu could get rid of her vicious stepsister.
Looking at the warm eyes of the mother and daughter, Jiang Xiachu pursed his lips and said a little embarrassedly:
"I came here today just to bother you. I'm too young now, and it's not safe for me to live alone in a guesthouse outside."
"I just want to ask if I can stay here for a while. I will definitely pay you."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Qingli and Fang Yingqiu slapped him on the back at the same time.
The mother and daughter both gave her a reproachful look, but the hand that was around her arm was so warm.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Xia Chu? Given our relationship, why should we be polite to each other?"
"If you want to live in my house, it's just a matter of asking. I'm so happy to have someone to keep me company. It's good enough that I don't pay you. How can I possibly take your money?"
Fang Yingqiu knew that Jiang Xiachu had a strong sense of self-esteem, so she patted the back of her hand with a smile and gently comforted her:
"You two grew up together. You are my two daughters. Why are you embarrassed to live in your own home?"
"You are too polite to us, which hurts our feelings."
Jiang Xiachu's heart had been tense, but it was not until this moment that it finally relaxed.
"Thank you Qingli, thank you Aunt Fang."
She tried hard to control her emotions, but when she spoke, her voice couldn't help but tremble and her eyes were red.
Fang Yingqiu knew at a glance that this child must have suffered a great injustice.
She felt so distressed that she quickly went into the kitchen and cooked a big bowl of hot noodle soup for Jiang Xiachu. It contained meat and eggs, and was so full of vegetables that it was almost overflowing.
"It's already so late, Xia Chu, you must not have had time to eat, you must be starving now."
"Hurry up and eat this bowl of noodles while it's hot. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot. It's all made especially for you. Don't be polite to your aunt."
Jiang Xiachu took the bowl and nodded through the rising mist.
"good."
Lin Qingli sat beside her and watched her eat noodles. When she was almost done, she asked cautiously:
"Xia Chu, have you really thought it through and broken off the engagement with Lu Huaiyan?"
She and Jiang Xiachu have been friends since childhood, so they naturally understand each other's girlish thoughts.
I also know that Jiang Xiachu has always wanted to marry Lu Huaiyan, and being able to marry him is her dream.
Therefore, when Lin Qingli learned that Jiang Xiachu had broken off the engagement with Lu Huaiyan, she felt particularly sad.
Jiang Xiachu paused with the bowl in his hand, a barely visible smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded lightly.
"Yes, the engagement is really cancelled."
"I have completely let it go and I don't like him anymore."
But how can a relationship that has lasted for so many years be severed just like that?
Lin Qingli looked at the seemingly calm expression on Jiang Xiachu's face, and felt very sad and bitter in her heart.
After separating from Jiang Xiachu, Lu Huaiyan returned home.
The engagement party had ended long ago, and fortunately Cheng Nianhua was here today to stabilize the situation.
After the meal, she personally sent the guests away one by one with a smile on her face.
Finally, he could no longer suppress his anger, and with a sullen face, he moved a chair and sat down in the yard, waiting for Lu Huaiyan to come back.
Unexpectedly, I had to wait for several hours.
Cheng Nianhua was already very unhappy. Sitting alone in the yard, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Jiang Xiachu came over just now.
She was a little girl, standing there all alone.
There is no one around to accompany her, and she has to handle such a big scene alone.
Not to mention that he had such a serious injury on his face, a long scratch that made people scared.
The worst thing is that at such a critical moment, Lu Huaiyan was absent.
No wonder the girl doesn't like him and wants to break off the engagement with him.
When he thought of this, Cheng Nianhua felt like he was going to have a cerebral hemorrhage out of anger.
After finally waiting for Lu Huaiyan to come home, she stood up from her chair all of a sudden, completely furious.
"You still remember to come back."
Cheng Nianhua strode to Lu Huaiyan and laughed in anger.
If her son wasn't too old and too tall to reach her, she would have twisted his ears hard.
"Come and explain to me what happened today that made you not even attend such an important event as the engagement party."
"You usually look like a decent person, but have you ever thought about how you put your mother's face when you do this?"
