Xu Xingchen stood at the corner and should have left, but she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Perhaps it was Jun Haoyue's plan? This was the only way she could comfort herself.
While she was lost in thought, Zhang Tiansheng's voice rang out again.
"But, her cousin, there's something I don't understand?"
Jun Haoyue remained silent. It was unclear whether he was physically signaling Zhang Tiansheng to continue or what, but Zhang Tiansheng continued, "Look, you've beaten me so many times. I thought you would really hate me."
"You still have some self-awareness." Jun Haoyue narrowed his eyes and praised.
Zhang Tiansheng's face darkened, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Then why are you helping me? You were the one who instigated me to sign up! When Widow Xu asks about it, I'll say you pushed her to me!"
Jun Haoyue didn't say anything. The air pressure around him dropped suddenly, and his black eyes looked at Zhang Tiansheng quietly.
Zhang Tiansheng panicked when he realized that he had spoken without restraint. He glanced around and saw that there was no one around. It was a good opportunity to destroy the body.
After a few moments of stalemate, he tried to save the situation with a trembling voice, "Her cousin, I won't say anything nonsense, really, I will also treat Xu Xiaoniang well, I like her very much, I..."
Zhang Tiansheng expressed his admiration for Xu Xingchen in various ways, but Jun Haoyue couldn't bear to hear it anymore and interrupted him, saying, "Her happiness can only be given by me."
"That's right, there will be no problem if you choose me." Zhang Tiansheng nodded hurriedly. He was the one 'personally chosen' by his brother-in-law. Xu Xingchen's happiness was 'given' by him, Jun Haoyue. His understanding ability was perfect.
When Xu Xingchen heard Zhang Tiansheng say that Jun Haoyue had instigated him to participate, she no longer had the heart to listen. She left in a daze and did not hear Jun Haoyue's words that happiness could only be given by him.
To make matters worse, when she walked to the front desk, she ran into Wang Muling and Zhang Xiaochun, two arch-enemies who started arguing with each other.
However, the target of these two enemies this time was not her, but they were fighting among themselves.
Wang Muling disliked Zhang Xiaochun because Jun Haoyue specifically asked her to marry him.
Originally, she threatened Jun Haoyue to hint that Jun Haoyue should marry her, but Jun Haoyue did not choose her and chose Zhang Xiaochun instead.
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. God had been kind to her by giving her the opportunity to arrest Zhang Xiaochun alone. Now, she was being sarcastic and mocking.
"Zhang Xiaochun, if you and I weren't related, I would have beaten you to death today."
"Oh, so what? Mr. Jun just likes me and specifically wants to marry me. What can you do to me?" Zhang Xiaochun was extremely cocky.
"you!!"
'Ka.'
Both pairs of eyes looked over with vigilance.
Xu Xingchen, who had bumped into the pillar, raised his hands and apologized: "Sorry, I bumped into you. I'm sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye."
The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding and shouted at the same time.
"Stop!"
"Wait."
Xu Xingchen was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, so he simply ignored the shouting.
Zhang Xiaochun was so angry that he stepped forward and grabbed the man, "You, what did you just hear?"
Wang Muling also stepped forward and explained, "Just now, my cousin Xiaochun and I were just joking."
Xu Xingchen curled the corner of his mouth. No matter whether you are arguing or joking, what does it have to do with her?
Wang Muling was stung by her expression and said angrily, "Widow Xu, no wonder everyone in the village says you're unlucky. With your character, you're a perfect match for that idiot Zhang Tiansheng!"
Zhang Xiaochun, who had a feud with Zhang Tiansheng, agreed: "That's right."
The so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend. They now have a common enemy - Xu Xingchen.
Xu Xingchen laughed in anger, raised his chin slightly, crossed his arms, and said defiantly, "You have seen today's marriage proposal, right? How many people can't you see?"
Wang Muling looked at her as if she was crazy, "So what?" What's the use of having more people? It will only benefit that trash Zhang Tiansheng.
"Well, it's not very good." Xu Xingchen said calmly, pointing at himself and then at Wang Muling. "Right now, I have dozens of young talents here to seek marriage, and they are all getting married. Zhang Xiaochun is getting married to my cousin. What about you? Is there anyone who wants you?"
Wang Muling was hit on the sore spot: she had her eye on Jun Haoyue, but he chose Zhang Xiaochun instead. She also didn't have the backing of Auntie Pang to organize a matchmaking meeting, so overall, it was a complete failure.
The kind that loses both face and substance.
Her face flushed red, and she was filled with insults, but all she could say was, "Just wait and see who has the last laugh!"
Wang Muling left like a stray dog, and Zhang Xiaochun, who was supposed to be her ally, smiled like a flower as he watched her leave.
There is a saying that goes, "Everything has its own strengths." She cannot defeat Wang Muling, but Widow Xu can.
Thinking of this, she liked Xu Xingchen, her "sister-in-law", more and more.
Xu Xingchen watched Wang Muling leave and rolled his eyes without commenting. He turned around and saw Zhang Xiaochun's expression, as if he had found a treasure. After a moment of confusion, he gave her a suspicious look and left.
Half a month passed very quickly for Xu Xingchen. During this half month, Jun Haoyue went out early and came back late, and the two of them rarely met. This saved Xu Xingchen the complexity of not knowing how to face him.
On the wedding day, Xu Xingchen's parents were not at home, so Aunt Pang acted as the elder and took care of everything for her.
Before dawn, Aunt Fat brought people to Xu Xingchen's house and dug her out of the quilt. "My little aunt, why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly. Today is your auspicious day."
Xu Xingchen was dragged up, still a little confused at the time. When she heard the word "auspicious day", she suddenly woke up, "Jun...where is my cousin?"
Aunt Fatty took a red comb and while combing her hair, she answered her: "Haoyue, I have arranged to go pick up the bride first. I am a boy, and I can't go in and out of the same yard with you at the same time."
Xu Xingchen couldn't tell whether she felt disappointed or something else. She thought Jun Haoyue would stop her or refuse to go to pick up the bride.
There was no result. He said nothing and did nothing.
She smiled bitterly. Seeing her expression, Aunt Pang felt guilty. Everyone in the village knew Zhang Tiansheng's reputation. It would be a waste for such a good girl like Xu Xiaoniang to marry him.
Auntie Pang could only comfort her, "Auntie Pang knows that you feel wronged and unwilling. Now that things have come to this, Auntie Pang will look after the Zhang family. If the Zhang family treats you badly, Auntie Pang will support you."
Xu Xingchen pursed her lips. She did not try to correct Auntie Pang's wrong idea, but replied softly, "Thank you, Auntie Pang."
Thank you in every sense. Thank you Aunt Pang for caring about her so much, taking care of her so much, and treating her like her own daughter. She is really grateful.
Auntie Fatty sighed, then smiled. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Today is a happy day, so we need to smile."
Xu Xingchen pulled up the corners of his mouth. She also wanted to laugh, but it turned out to be a bitter smile. It would be better not to laugh.
Aunt Pang knew her worries and didn't force her.
