The cold winter wind blows on my face, causing pain, but it is not even a fraction of the pain in my heart.
"Grandma, I know. I won't be so stupid as to let others humiliate me again. Brother Lu is a good person. I will marry him. Don't worry."
Xiao Fangyun forced a smile, and happily took Luo Qiongzhi's arm, acting coquettishly. She had known since she was a child how to make her grandmother calm down.
Unexpectedly, the next second Luo Qiongzhi's frown relaxed, but she couldn't help but say earnestly, "You have to know that as your family, we love you so much that we can't wait to hurt you."
"Listen to grandma's advice. That Chen Mu is really not a good match for you. He's a man that even his own parents can't control. Even if you get married in the future, you'll still have to bear the brunt of it."
"Besides, his mother is so strong-willed. She said those harsh words in front of us. She will definitely not let you in. If you try to flatter her again, do you still have any self-respect and dignity left?"
After saying this, Luo Qiongzhi paused, glanced at Xiao Fangyun, who lowered her head and remained silent, and sighed before continuing, "But the Lu family is different. They are all so approachable."
"They're from the countryside just like us. Although they're not as wealthy as us, they're not like that guy surnamed Shen who looks down on us because we're from the countryside."
"Besides, I've already found out for you. They've split up a long time ago, and Lu Zechen holds all the family assets in his own hands. I think that young man is a caring person. After you marry him, you will definitely be the head of the family. How great is that."
"After you get married, you can follow him to the army and you don't have to worry about how to get along with your mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law. If Lu Zechen hadn't fallen in love with you at first sight, this good marriage wouldn't have been yours. The women in their own village would have been rushing to marry him long ago."
Xiao Fangyun nodded in agreement, knowing in her heart that her grandmother had been worrying about her for a long time.
"I know all that."
"I'm glad you know. I was just worried that you wouldn't get it. Okay, let's go home. It's freezing outside." Luo Qiongzhi took Xiao Fangyun's hand and headed straight towards their home.
After the two of them entered the gate of the Xiao family's yard, Chen Mu came out from behind the tree with trembling hands. Looking at the tightly closed gate, only he knew how bitter the feeling in his heart was.
He didn't need to ask Xiao Fangyun what had happened, he already knew everything.
No wonder Su Nan had that hesitant expression before, no wonder Xiao Fangyun didn't reply to his telegram, no wonder this business trip was so sudden and took so long.
The tone of Fang Yun's voice just now was so sad and humble that he had never heard before. She used to be such a cheerful and charming girl, how could she become so sensitive and cautious?
What did my mother do in the Xiao family? What did she say?
All of this is his mother's masterpiece, haha, how ironic.
Chenmu staggered towards the village entrance. He had to go home and get an explanation.

In the evening, it suddenly started to rain, and the rain made a "pattering" sound when it fell on the leaves.
Mother Chen put away her umbrella and ran into the house. She had just hung the umbrella on the hook at the door when she turned around and met Chen Mu's dead eyes.
"Hey, when are you coming back? What are you doing here? Are you trying to scare your mother to death?" Mother Shen covered her heart and took a step back.
Seeing that Chen Mu was just staring at her without saying anything, Shen's mother rolled her eyes and felt uneasy, wondering if Chen Mu knew that she had come to Xiaojia Village to look for Xiao Fangyun.
His face remained calm, without showing any expression.
"Why don't you turn on the light?" Shen's mother said as she turned on the light. The room was instantly brightened up, allowing her to see Shen Mu's current appearance clearly.
I saw Chenmu wearing a thick Zhongshan suit, but he was soaked all over, and water was still dripping from the ends of his hair onto the ground.
His skin was always pale, and now it was even more frighteningly pale. His face was bloodless and expressionless, with only a pair of eyes staring at Shen's mother with a look of resentment, anger, and struggle.
The whole person looks very creepy.
"God damn it, how did you get into this state? Go take a hot shower! Didn't your company send you home? Didn't they even give you an umbrella? I'm going to ask your boss how he treats his subordinates tomorrow."
Seeing this, Shen's mother didn't care about anything else. She put down the bag in her hand and wanted to pull Shen Mu to the bathroom. However, as soon as her hand touched his arm, it was vigorously pushed away.
The next second, Chenmu let out a painful and sarcastic laugh.
"Yes, you were able to easily get my boss to give me a business trip that no one else could get, and you can hold yourself accountable, but did you ever ask your son how I felt from beginning to end?"
Mother Shen was stunned, but she felt relieved in her heart. It seemed that he was angry about this matter, not about the Xiao family affairs.
"Mom, can't I discuss this with you next time? I thought this was a rare opportunity and would be helpful to your future career, so I told your boss about it. Anyway, you should take a shower first. Otherwise, what if you catch a cold?"
Shen's mother smiled and tried to pull Shen Mu's arm, but this time her hand was shaken off again.
"Help me? Haha, I just left and you went to Fang Yun's house to insult her?" Chen Mu punched the wall, his eyes red.
The smile on Shen's mother's face gradually disappeared. Looking at Shen Mu's crazy look, she felt a little guilty, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
So he said confidently: "Chenmu, what's with your tone? I'm your mother, how can I hurt you?"
"I've seen that girl before, and I don't like her. What's wrong with me saying a few words from my heart in front of her? She's just not worthy of entering my Shen family, and she's just not worthy of you. This is something we both know deep down."
"Why drag it out? The sooner you can clarify things and separate, the better for both you and her."
Chen Mu clenched his palms and roared, "I'm not worthy of her. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met in all my life. Do you really understand her? How can you jump to conclusions based on just one meeting?"
"I really like her, I love her. I've already delayed her for many years because of my dream of becoming a police officer. I can't let her down again this time."
"Mom, you've taught me to be polite and well-mannered since I was little. But when you go to someone else's house and insult them in person, and forcibly separate us, does that mean you're respectful and well-mannered?"
"Pa." The sudden sound of slapping stunned the two people who were gradually becoming excited.
Mother Shen's palms trembled with pain. She wanted to take a step forward to see Shen Mu's cheek being hit, but she finally held back. She took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.
"Chenmu, you've really grown up. For an outsider, you even dared to curse your mother in a roundabout way? Then do you know that the beautiful girl you mentioned has already started looking for a new rich husband in the surrounding area?"
"You treat such a woman as a treasure. You must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey." Mother Shen pointed at the tip of Shen Mu's nose, shaking with anger.
