Chapter 286 Explosive News

The days passed peacefully, and in a blink of an eye it was December, and the first snow fell in Beijing since the beginning of winter.

Yuan Xiao became more and more lazy, and wanted to hibernate as soon as winter came.

It was the last month of the 1970s, and the 1980s officially began after the New Year. Yuan Xiao looked at the swaying snowflakes, and her heart was still a little touched.

But before she could sigh too much, Chu Jiangping brought her an explosive news.

"What? You are going to get engaged to my mother?" Yuan Xiao's eyes widened slightly.

Although she had been with Chu Jiangping for a long time, she still felt that someone had taken advantage of her.

"Why don't you get married directly?" she asked again.

"I pay more attention to the sense of ceremony." Chu Jiangping said calmly.

This continued the previous habit of the Chu family, getting engaged first and then getting married.

It was also to give Wang Yazhi some time to adapt to her status.

Yuan Xiao couldn't explain what he felt in his heart. His mother was going to get married, and he couldn't just be happy.

"Then, has the time been set? My mother must be the best, not casual."

Chu Jiangping patted her head, "The time for engagement and wedding has been chosen."

Yuan Xiao looked at him dimly, "Uncle Chu, you are really quick."

Chu Jiangping laughed, "Xiaoxiao, whether your mother and I are married or not, whether we will have children in the future, your mother loves you the most. There is no doubt about this."

Yuan Xiao wrinkled his nose and snorted, "That's for sure! I heard from Grandpa Gu that you were very romantic when you were young. After you marry my mother, you are not allowed to flirt outside, otherwise I will take my mother away."

Chu Jiangping was not angry, but secretly remembered Uncle Gu in his heart.

"Just don't worry."

...

Wang Yazhi and Chu Jiangping got engaged at the end of December.

On the day of the engagement, Yuan Xiao cried so hard that anyone who saw her could not help but feel distressed.

You would have thought she was the mother.

After the engagement, the New Year passed, and the winter vacation came, Yuan Xiao became even busier.

Because Wang Yazhi and Chu Jiangping's wedding was scheduled before the New Year.

Wang Yazhi's importance in Yuan Xiao's heart was unparalleled. She wanted to announce to the capital that her mother was getting married and to present the best things to her.

A week before the wedding, the wedding invitations were sent out, but an unexpected guest came. The

visitor claimed to be Chu Jiangping's second aunt. She didn't choose a day when she came, and happened to meet Yuan Xiao in the courtyard.

Yuan Xiao secretly asked Wang Yazhi beside him: "Has Uncle Chu mentioned this person?"

Wang Yazhi put down the teapot in her hand and thought for a while, "He did mention it, but just mentioned it in passing, and it seems that they are not very close. We did not invite them to our wedding this time. Your Uncle Chu has few relatives, most of them are friends."

Yuan Xiao knew in his heart that this second aunt must have come uninvited.

She took the teapot, "I will greet them, you can rest."

Wang Yazhi glared at her, "Don't make trouble."

Yuan Xiao pouted, "I won't make trouble, even if they come here to ask for money, it's nothing, I'm just afraid that this second aunt will take advantage of her age, I don't buy it."

But as long as Chu Jiangping himself doesn't care, everything will be easy.

Yuan Xiao took the tea out, and the people who came with the second aunt also included her two children.

"Are you Jiang Ping's stepdaughter?" Second Aunt asked in a flat voice.

Yuan Xiao nodded and poured them tea.

"These are my children, Zhou Yang and Zhou Qing."

"Uncle Chu hasn't come back yet, please wait a moment, someone has been sent to call him."

Second Aunt's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, "No need to call, Jiang Ping has to do business, women have to be sensible, if you ask men to come back when encountering any problems, will men still do their work?"

Yuan Xiao smiled slightly and sat opposite her, "Second Aunt is here, naturally I have to say hello to Uncle Chu."

Second Aunt looked at Yuan Xiao, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yuan Xiao."

"Yuan? Is it your father's last name?"

Yuan Xiao nodded.

Second Aunt put down the teacup, "Since your mother remarried to Jiang Ping, you are Jiang Ping's child. It's more proper to change your name tomorrow, and change your last name to Chu."

Yuan Xiao didn't react for a while.

Second Aunt seemed to have a sense of superiority, and it was written clearly: Let you have the surname Chu, it is your honor.

"Your mother is a second marriage, and we Jiang Ping suffered a lot. Anyway, Jiang Ping has no children, and whether there will be one in the future is another matter. If you change your surname and enter the genealogy of the Chu family, you can also support Jiang Ping in his old age."

Yuan Xiao's focus was not on changing the surname, "Wait! What did you just say, suffer a loss?"

Second Aunt was a little dissatisfied with her mumbling being interrupted, "It's not a loss! Jiang Ping had a fiancée before, but it was still her first marriage. Marrying your mother who was married for the second time is a loss."

Zhou Qing gently pulled the corner of his mother's clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chu Jiangping might not recognize them as relatives, and it was really not good to teach others as an elder.

Yuan Xiao pushed the teacup in front of him away, fearing that he would not be able to control himself and pour the tea on her head.

"Uncle Chu seems to have never sent you a wedding invitation?" She asked calmly.

Second Aunt was touched in the sore spot, and her face darkened, "I can understand that you forgot for a moment."

Yuan Xiao smiled, "As far as I know, it's not that he forgot. You came uninvited and didn't confirm in advance. Does Uncle Chu still recognize you?"

Second Aunt coughed violently in anger, pointing at her with trembling hands, "I, I am his second aunt, a real one, how can I not recognize him? You uneducated..."

Before she finished speaking, a basin of water poured over her head.

Yuan Xiao was stunned, she didn't do anything.

Turning around, Wang Yazhi's face was pale, and she was holding a basin in her hand.

"My daughter has a mother, she doesn't need anyone's advice! Since you are here to find Chu Jiangping, just wait for him here. Chu Jiangping and I haven't married yet, you are his second aunt, what do you think you are to me? There is no reason for me to go to someone's house to teach someone else's daughter a lesson!"

Wang Yazhi has a good temper, provided that she doesn't touch the bottom line.

Yuan Xiao is her Achilles' heel, the person she holds in her heart, how can she tolerate others making up stories like this.

The second aunt panted, supported the table, and stood up staggeringly.

She glared at Wang Yazhi, and she obviously wanted to curse, but she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Zhou Yang and Zhou Qing both hung their heads and didn't say anything, she was even more angry and slapped them a few times.

"Your mother has been bullied, and you still don't say anything. Are you all dead?"

Zhou Yang kept silent, but Zhou Qing sneered, "I said I couldn't come, but you insisted on coming. What does it have to do with me?"

Second Aunt rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

"You are a heartless thing! I am your mother, and you just watch others bully me like this?"

Who did she come here for with such a thick face?

It was for these two good-for-nothings!

Now, she is not a human being inside and out?

Zhou Qing curled his lips, "It was obviously you who bullied others first."
