"What else can happen? As you can see, I quit my job." Xue Mei spread her hands unhappily and showed him the salary she had just received.
"Then...what about Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao?" Xue Xiang asked. Xue Mei felt disgusted when she heard it. Even now, her elder brother was still thinking about finding out about the couple's affairs!
"Brother, if you have time to think about how to explain to our parents later, what does their business have to do with us?" Xue Mei said this very aggressively, almost saying that Xue Xiang was meddling in other people's business.
"You..." Xue Xiang watched Xue Mei walk away angrily, and had no choice but to follow her back home.
"How is it, is everything alright?" Xue's mother watched the brother and sister come back one after the other, their faces getting worse and worse, and she hurriedly chased after them.
"Ask your brother," Xue Mei said unhappily, and then ignored him.
Xue's mother already knew Xue Xiang's plan. Looking at Xue Xiang's gloomy face, she couldn't help but think, forget it, it's a good thing not to go to work at Fu Sheng.
Xue Wei, who was standing at the side, looked at the scene and whispered, "Then I will also resign tomorrow..."
But no one responded to him.
This matter that Sheng Yanchuan had been thinking about came to an end.
As for whether Xue Xiang had given up, only Xue Xiang himself knew. However, what was certain was that he would not dare to make any further moves in the short term. He was only worried that Nan Qiao had already known the truth, and Sheng Yanchuan would attack them without restraint.
Everything needs to be considered carefully
Ever since Fu Sheng had such a bad thing happen, Sheng Yanchuan never left the house. He stayed around Nan Qiao all day, serving tea and making him laugh.
It was not until noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year that Sheng Yanchuan took Nanqiao and the two children to the Sheng family.
When they arrived at Sheng's house, Nanqiao gave two red envelopes to Yaya and Xiaoguo, and wished Sheng's parents a happy new year, and then said nothing more. Sheng's parents and Sheng Yanjun were all very embarrassed about Nanqiao's arrival.
Only Huiping was busy
"Qiaoqiao, come and sit down. I've been quite busy lately and haven't seen you. I miss you a lot."
"Sister-in-law, you've seen it. I heard the store is doing good business, so I haven't come to bother you."
"It's not a big deal to bother your family. Have you finished the pickles I brought you last time? If you like them, I'll get you some more later." Huiping held Nanqiao's hand and chatted with him casually, ignoring the embarrassed Sheng family members sitting not far away.
"There are still quite a few left. I sent some to my parents as well. They like it very much too," Nanqiao replied with a smile.
"It's okay, that thing won't go bad. I'll send some more tomorrow." Huiping was delighted to hear Nanqiao liked it.
Nanqiao nodded and didn't continue.
During this period, the Sheng family never visited them. Huiping didn't go home very often, but she sent a lot of things to Nanqiao. Today, she picked some pickles she made, and tomorrow, she would send some delicious food to Nanqiao to try.
So Nanqiao came today, partly because of Sheng Yanchuan, and partly because Huiping came to Nanqiao yesterday specifically for this matter...
Yesterday, Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao were making dumplings with Aunt Zhou, while Huiping stewed some spareribs and brought them over. She sat in the living room and chatted with them about random things. Nanqiao initially thought that Huiping didn't want to stay at home, so she came over to chat with them.
But after talking for a while, Nanqiao noticed that Huiping looked a little abnormal.
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We are all family, there is nothing we can't talk about."
Huiping looked at Nanqiao and said hesitantly, "Qiaoqiao, tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Bring the children to my house for lunch at noon. My sister-in-law won't open the store tomorrow, so she will make delicious food for you at home."
"Hmm?" Nanqiao put down the dumplings in his hand, wondering why Huiping would do this. Even if they wanted them to go over on New Year's Day, Aunt Xiumei would say so, and Sheng Yanchuan would also tell her, but it shouldn't be Huiping who came...
Hui Ping's words also made Sheng Yanchuan stop making dumplings, frowning and thinking
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else." Seeing the expressions on Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao's faces, Hui Ping was afraid of being misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "It's like this, you know my parents' personalities, they are stubborn, they don't say it, but they are worried about me in their hearts, they have been sighing a lot during this period of time."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not holding you back. You saw how they treated me last time. If they were a little bit aware of their own problems, we wouldn't be like this." Sheng Yanchuan didn't want to embarrass Nanqiao, so he spoke first.
"I know that my parents and your eldest brother are a little too harsh, but we are a family after all. This is our first year in Shanghai. They have been looking forward to celebrating the New Year with you. We can't just come to Shanghai and not see each other, right?"
"Sister-in-law, did you come here today or did your parents ask you to come?" Nanqiao stopped Sheng Yanchuan. Although she was a little unhappy with Huiping's tone of moral kidnapping, she really wanted to know whose idea it was.
"It's mom who wants you to go back. She's been circling around me recently. At first I thought she wanted to help me with something, but then I asked her and found out she wanted me to come over and talk to you. They have you in their hearts, but they're just too stubborn to say those words of subservience." Huiping was upset by what she said. It was certain that there was a child and Sheng Yanchuan, but it was hard to say whether there was Nanqiao or not.
"If it were us...if it were us, why didn't you even come to see the child for such a long time?" Sheng Yanchuan said unhappily beside him.
"Okay, sister-in-law, we'll take the kids back tomorrow at noon, but that's all." Nanqiao stopped talking. Her going was a concession, but concession didn't mean she forgave him, nor did it mean she could let him do whatever he wanted. More importantly, she had planned to go during the New Year.
