Thinking of her mother, Cheng Dan lowered her eyes slightly.
She knew all along.
Her mother, who used to love dressing up even more than she did, spent her days in tears after she went to the countryside.
Lu Lei and she didn't get married, and Cheng's mother even went to the Air Force compound to make a scene.
In the end, he was persuaded to come back by Cheng's father.
After all, things didn't go well back then, and if anyone was at fault, both sides were.
After Lu Lei and Cheng Dan broke off their engagement, they quickly got married, and their child should already be born.
And her?
Her reputation is ruined; she's become an unwanted old maid.
"Don't think that all of this is the fault of others."
Jia Shuling used to be inseparable from her, and just by looking at her expression, she knew what Cheng Dan was thinking.
She kindly comforted me, saying, "The things we did in the past are still embarrassing to talk about now."
At the time, I thought no one knew about the little tricks I was doing behind the scenes, and I was quite proud and smug about it.
Looking back now, I really was like the Joker.
"Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves."
Jia Shuling said calmly.
Cheng Dan suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with venom, glaring fiercely at Jia Shuling. "Are you taking Xu Ruantang's side? Can you say that she wasn't involved in your current state?"
Jia Shuling didn't understand how Cheng Dan could always drag Xu Ruantang into everything.
She chuckled softly and said, "I'm doing very well now. I live for myself, I have enough to eat and wear, and I sleep soundly every night."
After Jia Shuling finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the Chen family home.
She had actually already moved out of the Chen family home; she was here today to see Chen Gang off.
Rumors circulated that she and Chen Gang had a major falling out, but only they knew that they had no real animosity towards each other.
When they meet, they can still smile at each other.
The current situation is the best for both of us.
It's good that Chen Gang was able to move on from that person's death and was still willing to continue working.
As for her, the old lady is treating her very well now, as are the Chen family.
Even after the divorce, she would still visit the Chen family from time to time.
"Raj".
As soon as Jia Shuling entered the room, she heard Xiao Bao's childish words and the laughter of everyone in the room.
Xiao Bao stood in the center of the crowd, imitating Xu Ruantang's speech.
She's recently taken to rummaging through the trash, and Xu Ruantang has taught her several times not to move.
The child agreed readily on the surface, but as soon as he turned around, he started playing somewhere Xu Ruantang couldn't see him.
The old lady was smiling at first, but then she got up and went to the kitchen.
A short while later, Chen Gang followed him inside.
The housekeeper we hired came out of the kitchen with an awkward smile on her face.
"The old lady cried?"
Ye Lan asked in a low voice.
The aunt didn't say anything, but smiled slightly as a cover-up.
Xu Ruantang looked at Chen Ji somewhat helplessly, and Chen Ji patted her on the back.
It's too late to say anything now that Chen Gang has already made his decision.
A short while later, Chen Gang and the old lady came out, carrying dishes in their hands.
Both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Let's eat."
It was as if nothing had happened; no one at the dinner table mentioned it.
Just treat it as an ordinary family gathering.
No one paid any attention to the incident involving Cheng Dan's arrival.
After having dinner with Chen Ji, Xu Ruantang took Xiao Bao, who had fallen asleep while playing, home.
When I passed by the Li family's house, I saw Shen's mother again, but this time she didn't bring her child.
But she cried and wailed in front of the Shen family's gate, making a big commotion.
"Oh my god, I can't go on living! Everyone, please be the judge! The Li family is not letting anyone live! My son is dying in the hospital, and the good daughter raised by the Li family won't even give him a second glance!"
On the day off, the number of onlookers suddenly increased.
Knowing that Li Shuhe wasn't home, Xu Ruantang glanced at her and left.
When she went to the store on Monday, she told Li Shuhe about it.
I thought you knew.
Li Shuhe was tidying her clothes when she heard this, she paused, "My parents didn't say anything, probably because they're afraid it will affect me."
Only parents can truly understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Li.
"Don't worry, I've already had Chen Ji tell the sentries at the gate not to let them in anymore."
It's likely that Shen Qingwen brought them to the compound before, when he was still the son-in-law of the Li family, so naturally none of the sentries at the gate dared to make things difficult for them.
Furthermore, neither of Li's parents were the type to use their power to oppress others, so the Li family would simply ignore the Shen family's antics.
Li Shuhe nodded blankly, then turned around and continued tidying her clothes.
After a while, she suddenly turned around again.
"Ruan Ruan, when can I go see Shen Qingwen?"
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Xu Ruantang was looking at the ledger. The crowd on the opening day was so large that the ledger was a bit messy.
Hearing this, she raised her eyes. "Can't wait?"
Li Shuhe didn't speak, but her eyes were even redder than before.
“I saw Shen’s mother in front of your house yesterday.”
Xu Ruantang closed the ledger and said truthfully, "Do you know what she said in front of your house?"
Li Shuhe shook her head. "You mean you want me to go see Shen Qingwen?"
Xu Ruantang shook her head as well, "No, what she said most was that you have no conscience, that your Li family is heartless, and that you made it so that her son couldn't live."
If that's the case, what's the difference from the beginning?
Li Shuhe immediately understood. "Okay, I won't go. Is Shen Qingwen really alright?"
She was still worried, after all, according to Shen's mother, Qingwen had drunk pesticide.
Xu Ruantang pursed her lips. "It's nothing. If something were wrong, why would Mother Shen be crying and making a scene in front of your house?"
