Granny Chen looked troubled.
Looking at her expression, Xiang Wanwan knew that she didn't want to tell the truth.
But this isn't a secret; anyone could find out by asking around. So I might as well just tell you directly to avoid causing trouble for Shuxue later.
"Lieutenant Yan was married before, but he is single now."
As soon as she spoke, Li Jinglan suddenly stood up from the stool, incredulous.
"What? He's been married?"
Xiang Shuxue, however, felt somewhat relieved, because this way she wouldn't have to marry into the family.
Upon seeing this, Granny Chen immediately explained, "Alas, my son has a hard life. His last wife ran away with a man and couldn't live on the island, so I thought of finding another one for Song'er."
"Don't worry, they don't even have children, so it won't have any impact on them at all."
Li Jinglan slowly sat down. Although she didn't say anything more, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiang Wanwan and Wang Sao exchanged a glance but did not expose Chen Pozi's lie.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with them!
She had just sat down when Yan Qingsong suddenly stood up, looked at Xiang Shuxue with a serious expression.
"I...I love you! Will you marry me?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well! Although I've been married before, it wasn't what I wanted."
Yan Qingsong's sudden confession stunned everyone present.
I never expected this mama's boy to be so proactive!
It seems he is quite satisfied with Xiang Shuxue.
Xiang Shuxue blushed immediately; no one had ever said they liked her in front of so many people before.
She looked at Yan Qingsong, somewhat shy.
Li Jinglan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're quite direct!"
It is said that a mother-in-law loves her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him.
Li Jinglan is like this now, and when she looks at Yan Qingsong, she thinks he's perfect in every way.
She is sincere, and most importantly, she likes Xiang Shuxue. Once a man falls in love with her, he will genuinely protect her.
Granny Chen felt a little jealous, but seeing the situation, she figured the marriage was almost a done deal, so she didn't say anything.
Once she's inside, she can slowly train her.
The meal was a great success, and both host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely. Granny Chen was extremely pleased with Xiang Shuxue; she was beautiful and a teacher.
Moreover, the Xiang family is well-off, wealthy, and has a brother-in-law who is a high-ranking official.
After the marriage, they will also be able to connect with the leader, as her son and Leader Lu will be brothers-in-law.
Granny Chen felt increasingly pleased with herself.
Li Jinglan was quite satisfied with Yan Qingsong. Although he had been married before, he had no children, which would reduce future troubles.
The family situation was relatively simple, consisting of only a widowed mother.
Moreover, he is only a second lieutenant, and his family owns such a large house, which shows that he is quite well-off.
After leaving the Yan family home, Li Jinglan took Xiang Wanwan's hand and said, "Wanwan, you really helped your sister a lot this time."
"I think the Yan family is quite good!"
Xiang Wanwan looked at Xiang Shuxue, who was standing silently to the side, and asked, "Then the rest depends on what Shuxue thinks?"
After all, she still had Lu Jingnian on her mind.
Xiang Shuxue kept her head down, her hands twisting the hem of her clothes, probably because she was conflicted.
"I'll go back and have a good talk with your sister."
Li Jinglan left with Xiang Shuxue.
Aunt Wang was surprised and nudged Wanwan with her elbow, "That's it?"
"That simple?"
Xiang Wanwan's gaze deepened as she slowly spoke, "It should be successful. It was indeed quite simple."
It was much easier than she had imagined.
Moreover, judging from Shuxue's shy demeanor during the meal, she probably doesn't dislike Yan Qingsong.
As long as you don't dislike it, there's a chance.
School dormitory.
Xiang Shuxue sat on the edge of the bed, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.
Li Jinglan gouged out her eyes with both hands, her face full of disappointment and anger, and scolded:
"So, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"My belly is getting bigger and bigger. If I don't find an honest man to marry soon, I won't be able to hide it anymore!"
"You're always thinking about Lu Jingnian. Do you think Xiang Wanwan will give you that chance? Besides, Lu Jingnian doesn't look like someone to be trifled with. If he finds out you're pregnant with another man's child, do you think you'll survive?"
