Grandfather and grandson duo

  "He was on the bus that came into the village this morning. But our people think it's very likely he had already sneaked into the village to do some reconnaissance beforehand," said Secretary Liu.

  "He would send someone to scout ahead even if he didn't come himself. This is not surprising. At the very least, he wants to ensure his own safety." Lord Jun's voice was cold and low, unable to convey the icy chill in his gaze as it fixed on Yang Xiu sitting on the stone seat.

  There is currently no evidence to prove what role Yang Xiu played in the Yang family, or whether he had any connection with Le Wenbin's mother. However, he remembered that Yang Xiu and the late Yang Le'er were not close. In fact, Yang Xiu was often abroad studying and kept to himself, not being particularly close to the Yang family members. To say the least, if it weren't for his sister suddenly being found and the jade pendant of Wen Mingzhu surfacing, attracting the attention of the Yang family, Yang Le'er would not have been able to intervene later on. Although Yang Le'er had mental health issues, her ability to hide in secret for many years showed how cunning the Yang family was by nature.

  Mrs. Lu's gentle nature is truly unlike the Yang family.

  "What should we do now?" asked Secretary Liu.

  Hold one's fire.

  Grandfather and Lu Siling didn't say a word, inviting Yang Xiu to come over. It's better to say that they were expecting the Yang family to do something, so as to better understand the intentions of the Yang family members and their backers.

  The bait has been laid, and it's hanging around his sister's neck. Let's see how Yang Xiu reacts now.

  Under those knife-like eyebrows, the pair of eyes that seemed to be as still as a quiet wind indeed blinked quietly when they saw the jade pendant on her neck.

  Xiantao Yu Pei, they are the Yang family, only the deceased Yang Le'er has seen it with her own eyes. Because of this jade pendant, Yang Le'er lost her life. The old lady of the Yang family is very angry and must get this jade pendant at all costs.

  Yu Pei had seen what it looked like in the materials he had obtained, but only in photos, not in real life. So, he didn't dare to be 100% sure that the one Man Man was wearing around her neck now was the one the Yang family was looking for.

  It seems that compared to the Xiantao Yupei being seen today, which seemed to have revealed its true form, he was more interested in the birth photo of Manman that Jiang Yue had secretly taken.

  The little girl in the photo is indeed a young girl. Whether the handwriting on the back of the photo was written by the old man himself, it's hard to say.

  If he didn't remember wrongly, when Nangnang was born, Lu Lao Tou was still in prison for reeducation through labor, and because he was a special political prisoner, his family members didn't even have the chance to visit him.

  Who gave this photo to Old Lu?

  A photo with profound implications.

  The jade pendant worn around the neck of a baby girl is a magic peach.

  This might be the clue that the other side entrusted to the Yang family to catch the Lus' handle.

  It was fortunate for him that the couple gave him such a great opportunity to take advantage of, and he couldn't let it slip away.

  Jiang Yue hid in a corner of the courtyard, trying her best to avoid running into Cheng Si Quan.

  "Dad, who are you looking at?" Little Dongzi, sitting next to Cheng Si, pulled on his father's sleeve.

  Cheng Si Quan, covering his eyes with a cup, withdrew his gaze that was searching for Jiang Yue. On the other side, his wife Jiang Mei chatted and laughed with Jiang's father as if she had not noticed anything.

  Today is a big day for the Lu family, and also a big day for the young daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.

  Jiang Jia Tong felt honored.

  On stage, Jiang Yan stood beside Xiao Qiang's wife, radiant and dazzling, captivating the audience.

  He can't help but feel a little envious of Cheng Si's whole situation now. He finally sees that his younger brother-in-law is much smarter than he thought, and has married a woman he truly loves, with a happy life after marriage, unlike his own mess.

  So he even less wants to continue this painful marriage.

  "Xiao Dongzi's eyes are better now. From now on, you must work harder at your studies and grow up quickly, do you understand?" Cheng Si Quan said, stroking his little son's head.

  If a son grows up and meets someone he likes, he will definitely understand his thoughts.

  Xiao Dongzi looked at his father's face and silently lowered his head.

  Cheng Si Quan's words with profound meaning to his son were overheard by Jiang Mei, but for the sake of her son and father, she suppressed the anger in her chest.

  Manman and her husband followed the lead of younger uncle Lu Hedong to toast the elders at the table, she was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol, so she replaced it with water.

  Sometimes others would force her to drink, and her husband would quickly help her out by drinking on her behalf. This was a good thing, but before long, her husband, who couldn't hold his liquor, stumbled around unsteadily.

  She looked anxious in her heart and made eye contact with her father Lu Shuai for help.

  The daughter's expectant gaze made Commander Lu's heart soften.

  After finishing the wine and dishes for the elders, she and her husband were finally released. Lu Huan helped her support the person and hid in the rest room.

  Someone outside said:

  "With such a big family dinner, why hasn't Old Master Lu shown up yet?"

  "It's going to take three days. It might appear on the third day."

  "No, today's is the biggest. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be smaller banquets, which won't be held in this big courtyard anymore, and no firecrackers will be set off either. The guests we're receiving are all people who have come late for some reason."

  "Is the old man uncomfortable?"

  "That's strange. Didn't they say yesterday that Old Master went up the mountain to worship his ancestors and report the good news of his granddaughter's return?"

  "Did you get sick after coming back from the mountain?"

  There are many different opinions and no one is certain.

  No matter what, the most important figure of the Lu family, Old Master Lu, did not appear at the family banquet. For this banquet and for her grand appearance in it, it was undoubtedly a discount. The reason why Old Master Lu did not appear became an intriguing mystery.

  However, in Manman's heart, Lao Lushi didn't appear, making her have a different view of this old man.

  The old man wouldn't have deliberately set this up, thinking that holding this family banquet was to let her experience the feeling of flying high, wanting to see her proud and complacent appearance?

  Her performance was truly disappointing for Old Man Lu.

  In fact, when she stepped onto the stage to accept the flowers and applause, she was in a daze - her mind was reminiscing about past hardships.

  She can't be complacent, and the applause and flowers given to her at the same time are the heavy responsibilities as a member of the Lu family.

  She really wants to be a good member of the Lu family, and the first thing she needs to remember is this responsibility.

  What passersby said in the corridor, Lu Huan didn't hear, she went into the bathroom to heat up a towel and came out to hand it over to her.

  A hot towel was stuck on her husband's forehead, wiping away some of the drunken sweat that had emerged.

  "I'll get someone to prepare some tea for you." Lu Huan said comfortingly as he saw her frowning.

  "You go back and eat. I'll stay here with him." She sent her brother back to the banquet, after all, today she was lucky enough to take a few glances at the wine table, seeing that they were all famous dishes, which made her drool.

  Ke Lu Huan stored up his heart and thought of being a good younger brother, moved a chair to sit beside her: "Sister, now that you have the surname Lu, why be polite with me."

  "Is your surname Lu?"

  She remembered that at the time a lawyer's notice told her that she could no longer use the surname Wen, but later this matter naturally became a joke made by the troublemaker himself, and the result was unbearable.

  Her household registration is under her husband's name, and she has always had the surname Wen.

  "Brother, I've already helped you submit the surname change to the relevant department for processing. Yesterday, Grandfather took everyone up the mountain to report to our ancestors that you're back. Now that you're home, of course you'll be taking back the Lu surname." Lu Huan's eyebrows rose and fell in a steady rhythm, her tone firm and resolute.

  Even so, didn't the Lu family intend to give Wen Shixuan a heads up beforehand?

  The moon is frowning slightly, while she is proudly hosting a banquet here, but Wen Shixuan and Lin Jiajing have no idea what they will be eating at home tonight.

  She was a timid person who couldn't enjoy herself at ease, and thinking of the contrast between her and Wen Shixuan made her feel very uncomfortable.

  Especially Wen Shi Xuan Lian did not even get the most basic right to be respected and informed.

  Bang bang.

  Lu Huan walked over to open the door and saw Bai Lu standing at the entrance.

  "Auntie knew that Principal Jiang might have passed out from drinking high-proof baijiu, so she asked me to bring over the best hangover tea." Bailu walked in with a pot of hot tea.

  She hastily handed it over and was busy feeding her husband a drink.

  It's not that Chiang is not good at drinking, but he was "poisoned" by someone, don't know who, possibly a young person who likes to play pranks, and poured high-proof liquor into his cup.

  After drinking some hot tea, his face, which had been pale from drinking, finally turned rosy, and his breathing gradually transitioned to sleep.

  Manman calmed down and saw Bailu looking at her, asking: "What's wrong?"

  Bai Lu was actually looking at the jade pendant on Man Man's neck, which had already been noticed and discussed by many people at the banquet. Of course, most people just thought it was a decorative necklace pendant. Now that she took a closer look, this jade pendant looked a bit like the one she saw on Wen Ming Zhu's neck before, at least the shape was similar.

  "No, I was just looking at the dress you're wearing tonight, it looks great, you must have picked it out yourself. And this hairpin, these shoes, and this bangle were all matched by your aunts. Am I wrong?"

  Bai Lu is at the forefront of the fashion world, with a keen sense of smell for clothes and accessories that opens up new horizons for Man Man.

  "The dress was brought by mom, there are two sets, this set is indeed chosen by myself. The flower hairpin, shoes and silver bangles were all sent to me by mom today to match with the dress. How did you know so clearly?"

  Bai Lu smiled and said with great confidence: "Let me tell you. Your personality, in my opinion, is not traditional, but rather avant-garde. Therefore, you wouldn't choose those traditional-looking dresses that are too flashy or overly luxurious. White is trendy and loved by intellectual women. As for the hairpin, shoes, and bangles, their craftsmanship and style are all traditional, which means they must have been handmade by skilled artisans. From what I know, Er Biao's aunt can embroider shoes herself, and it's said that she's a master at it. Some time ago, I even discussed with a friend about doing business with Er Biao's aunt on this aspect of shoe embroidery. Since the shoes were given by Er Biao's aunt, who gave the hairpin and bangles? Can Da Biao's wife and Xiao Biao's wife afford to fall behind?"

  It's really surprising how accurate the guess is.

  Man Man has great admiration for her future sister-in-law.

  Just then, someone else came in.

  Manman and they looked up.

  At the moment she saw Ou Shang's icy gaze, Bai Lu thought of escaping for a split second, but then calmed down.

  "How did you get here?"

  His unmarried wife, the faint smile at the corner of her mouth was even more calm than before. It seemed that she had already walked out of the confusion caused by Yang Xiu.

  "Are you allowed to come but I'm not?"

  His calm tone and precise words always reflect his accurate description of himself as her fiancé.

  Manman and Lu Huan listened to their conversation, neither of them knew how to interrupt.

  "How is he?" Master Jun asked his brother-in-law who was lying on the bed, snoring softly.

  "After drinking the hangover tea that Mama Bai sent over, I think I should be fine." Manman replied, and helped her husband pull up the quilt that had slipped down his body.

  Since his brother-in-law was fine, Jun Ye instructed Lu Huan's younger brother: "You stay here and take care of your sister and brother-in-law."

  "Brother, is something wrong?" Lu Huan stood up and asked anxiously.

  "Turned to the little girl: 'Grandpa wants to see you.'"

  Lü Lǎotóu suddenly wanted to see her now.

  It's really painstaking.

  Meet her once before the banquet and meet her again after the banquet.

  Man Man blinked twice: The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this old man was very cunning.

  "Perfect timing, I was just about to greet Master Lu and tell him that my brother is running late." Bai Lu said as she stood up with her.

  Her eyes swept across her face, and for some reason, she agreed: "Then let's go together."

  In this way, the three of them left the room.

  Big brother and future sister-in-law rarely walk together. Manman, of course, can't be a light bulb, intentionally walking behind the two of them, giving them space.

  As a result, the two people in front became unnatural instead.

  Bai Lu deliberately made friends with her future sister-in-law and got close to Manman.

  Man Man saw it and retreated backwards, giving her and big brother a chance.

  To keep pace with them, Jun Ye had no choice but to slow down his footsteps.

  In the end, everyone is like a little woman with a book on her head in the palace, tiptoeing step by step as if walking on thin ice.

  She raised an eyebrow and stopped in her tracks, turning towards them with displeasure: "It's just a few steps, do you want to walk until dawn tomorrow?"

  Is it on fire?

  Yueyaer's eyes sparkled: Not allowing slow walking, she walked ahead of them, just as well.

  Quickening his pace, he brushed past him and hurried away.

  "Hey, Manman, wait a minute." Bailu hastily chased after her.

  Afterwards, he had to run after them two.

  Fortunately, this building is adjacent, and the road is not long, otherwise, Master Jun must have been furious.

  Manman ran upstairs to the second floor, saw Old Master Lu standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, probably having witnessed all three of them chasing each other around, and couldn't help but want to bite her own tongue.

  "Bai Lu has also arrived." Turning around to face them, Old Man Lu first slightly nodded his head towards Bai Lu.

  It can be seen that the old man attaches great importance to the relationship between the Bai and Lu families.

  "It's been a long time since I've seen Grandfather Lu, and it was wrong of me to only come and greet you today." Bai Lu said, the smile in her eyes sparkling like light, adding a few points of beauty to her already lovely face.

  A beautiful girl who delights the heart, whoever sees her feels comfortable in their heart. The old man nodded and said: "Sit down. I've been wanting to find a chance to meet with your parents, and your grandparents, and have a chat."

  "My parents are busy. Recently, they were both sent abroad for work. My grandparents are traveling around the world, and our family can't even find them because these two old people are more trendy than us young people and never tell anyone where they're going."

  Look at how kindly the future sister-in-law is speaking with the elderly, without any reserve or estrangement.

  They all look quite enviable.

  Bai Lu, after all, has been a frequent visitor to the Lu family since middle school and was treated as their own daughter by Old Master.

  The orderly didn't come to make tea. Master poured the tea leaves into the teapot himself and added hot water.

  Bai Lu didn't go to help her fiancé, it can be seen that the old man wouldn't allow her to do so. She hasn't entered the family yet, she's still a guest, and the old man made a clear distinction.

  Bai Lu doesn't lift a finger, so her younger sister has to help with entertaining guests.

  Thinking and thinking, walking over, is it to help wash cups or serve tea.

  "Have a seat."

  He let her go back.

  But isn't it inappropriate for her to sit there at this time?

  "I'm going to pour out the tea water." Seeing the dirty bucket with tea leaves dregs below was full, she finally found something to do and bent down.

  A powerful hand grasped her forearm tightly: "Go back!"

  The increased volume caused both Lao Lu and Bai Lu to shift their gaze over.

  She frowned slightly and shook off his hand.

  "Baby, come here."

  Lu Lao Tou spoke up.

  She walked away in a straight line, feeling no guilt about what she had done.

  At this moment, Old Master Lu discovered that his granddaughter had one thing in common with the Lu family's bloodline: stubbornness.

  Especially when they think they are right, others are wrong!

  This made him take off his old glasses, somewhat crying and laughing: Why didn't the others inherit it, but only inherited this shortcoming in character.

  "Grandpa?"

  The old man rubbed his eyebrows, and Bai Lu and others thought that the old man was uncomfortable, so they asked with concern.

  "Lu Jun, you and Bai Lu are both sitting on the edge." As for his own family members, Old Man Lu simply tossed his glasses aside.

  At the old man's behest, Junye put down his work and sat in a chair beside him.

  The white dew was even more silent and didn't dare make a sound.

  Manman thought: It's time for the trial.

  Ke Lu old man said: "I know your gallery was burned down, let someone find a new commercial building for you, go back and take a look yourself, if you're satisfied, move in and start again."

  The old man wanted to send her to the painting gallery. She had heard of it, but didn't think it was true.

  "Grandpa, no need."

  "Why not? You burned down the gallery, aren't you going to find another place to paint?"

  "No, I've already discussed it with friends and we're going to open a restaurant."

  Jun Ye's eyebrows slightly furrowed with a hint of regret: This matter should have been discussed with the elderly first.

  Lu Lao Tou was indeed shocked and looked at her in confusion: "You want to open a restaurant? Why do you want to open a restaurant? Your painting isn't going well?"

  "It's not easy for artists to make money."

  "You're now a painting that can sell for tens of thousands, isn't that enough to make a living? And doesn't your husband have a salary? Your husband's military rank and position are not low, he should be able to support the family." Old Man Lu didn't know if he had intentionally not heard the implication behind her words, but he slowly said.

  "But Grandpa doesn't know about the kickbacks and profits. I'm not a great artist, to be honest. The money I make isn't enough in terms of commercial value. If I opened a restaurant, I could make several times more than opening an art gallery. And as for this path of art, I've thought it through - spending my whole life just painting like this won't do."

  "Stop." Seemingly seeing through her various excuses, the old man cut to the chase, "I'm asking you, did you open this restaurant for someone?"

  "No, it's for myself," said Manman.

  Perhaps Wen Shixuan can benefit from it, but this is her own business.

  "I think it's not that you're just for someone." Lu Lao Tou's military style, compared to his granddaughter, that temper which is not easy to reveal, must be even more stubborn.

  Seeing the old man's stubbornness, Manman had no choice but to follow along and say: "Alright, let's just say I'm doing it for someone. That's normal. I'm living well, he's not, and I want him to live as well as me."

  "What's his relationship with you that makes you think of him like this?"

  "Just because he raised me for so many years. Raising cats and dogs creates emotions, let alone a human being."

  "If we had evidence now to tell you that this person, isn't who you thought he was, and that he didn't pick you up back then, but instead stole you from your biological parents, would you still think of him in the same way?"

  "It's impossible."

  Man Man Tie's three words, as always.

  Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Bai Lu was shocked: He had never seen anyone dare to refute Lao Lushi's words like that.

  "Old Lü's fingers drummed on the table: 'If I tell you that the evidence I got is ironclad, is real, would you still say it's impossible?'"

  "It's impossible, just impossible. He's not that kind of person, I'm absolutely clear about it, you must have made a mistake somewhere."

  Two pairs of lips biting each other to death, more intense.

  "He told your dad that he was holding you and went back to the village where you got lost to ask about your relatives, but according to our people who were sent to investigate again now, none of those villagers said they had seen him do so. He's lying, how can we believe what this person says?"

  These things have never been heard of before, but: "There must be someone framing him."

  Several pairs of eyes looked at her with some incredulity.

  Manman thought this was normal. If someone told her in front of her face that her dad and mom, Lu Siling and Mrs. Lu, were murderers, she wouldn't believe it at all, and would resolutely defend them. She just treated her foster father, Wen Shi Xuan, as a trustworthy family member.

  But for the Lu family, her reaction was unacceptable.

  She should always be a member of the Lu family first. Thinking of that man who was full of lies and stole his granddaughter, until now he still stole his granddaughter's heart.

  Lu Lao Tou slapped his palm on the table.

  Bai Lu and Jun Ye were both startled.

  The scene unfolding before her eyes was one she had anticipated might happen after meeting the old man. Now that it has happened, it is only logical and reasonable.

  "You just said that opening a restaurant would make more money than opening an art gallery, fine. I'll give you two years to prove it to me. If the profits of your restaurant are five times that of the art gallery that was burned down, then I won't say anything else. During this time, the Lu family will not provide any support for you. What do you think? Will you continue with opening a restaurant or take over the art gallery that I have arranged for you?"

  It's not about opening a restaurant or an art gallery.

  This is a matter of whether Lu's family will support her or not.

  You've been thinking of that man all along, and Lao Lü is ruthless enough to take back the kindness and favor the Lü family has given you. If you don't believe me, that man from the grocery store is better than the kindness and favor the Lü family has given you!

  At this time, if they didn't speak up, who knows what would happen. Bai Lu and Jun Ye simultaneously exclaimed: "Grandfather!"

  "Didn't I tell you not to make a sound? Let her think for herself." Old Master Lu said firmly.

  He was resolute, and his resolve was no less than that of this old man: "I don't need to think about it, opening a restaurant is a well-considered matter, I won't change my mind because of this."

  A business that relies on family ties may quickly get on the right track, but hidden dangers are also present. Her career must be self-reliant and self-sustaining, without relying on what shouldn't be borrowed.

  In other people's interpretation, her words became: She looked down on the kindness given by the Lu family.

  Jun Ye supported his forehead and lowered his head: It's all clear now.

  Lü Lǎotóu stood up, his back to her, his shoulders slightly shaking, it was unclear whether he was angry or what, and ordered his grandson: "Lü Jūn, you heard everything I said, you pass it down, including your parents. The matter of changing her surname on the household register will be postponed for two years. If she loses this gamble, she won't have to bear the Lü surname anymore."

  Isn't your surname Lu anymore?

  She has become an unwanted child again.

  The heart trembled slightly, but made no sound.

  Bai Lu hastily stood up: "Grandfather Lu, listen to me..."

  Just now at the window, this old man saw clearly that Bai Lu and his grandson had a good match, which was a good thing. In the future, the relationship between sisters-in-law would be harmonious. However: "Bai Lu, I'm telling you, if she weren't surnamed Lu, she wouldn't be your future younger sister-in-law. You are going to marry into my Lu family and become our daughter-in-law, not just to become her personal younger sister-in-law."

  The white dew on her shoulders was also a responsibility, and she couldn't let one person act recklessly.

  The white dew silenced the sound.

  Just like what Manman thought.

  At critical moments, what she needs to rely on is still herself, no one can help her.

  The old man waved his hand and let the three of them go.

  The study was empty and deserted, with no one in sight. Only then did he shift his gaze to the drawer cabinet that locked up the person's face.

  Is it made by his granddaughter Nannan for him?

  Now he is even more uncertain.

  Niang Niang, has she returned to his side after all?

  At night, Manman returned to her own room from the old man's study and took off the clothes and accessories sent by the Lu family to prepare for washing. Of course, she couldn't just throw these things away. She put them away properly. Thinking of what Bai Lu had mentioned, perhaps all these things were actually Old Master Lu's idea, and she couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

  ……

  The old man's decision was soon spread among all who should know.

  Mrs. Lu was stunned on the spot and pulled her husband to go beg for mercy from the old man's family.

  Lu Sicong rubbed his palms and backs of his hands, knowing that if begging was useful, his eldest son would have done so at the time. He said, "This is good too. Let Nangnang think carefully about it herself. If one day she has to make a decision on which side to stand, she will clearly recognize that she is our family's child and not that person's child. You should know that once we find conclusive evidence now, our family will definitely sue him and he will be put in prison."

  After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Lu had nothing more to say.

  Everyone thought: Manman would regret his temporary impulse and come to his senses.

  At this point, even the most painful parents and siblings are unanimous.

  Mrs. Yao sat in the room, brewing tea. Her younger son had been given two cups of wine by someone tonight and was lying on the bed, unable to get up. Fortunately, her elder son was wide awake and hadn't touched a drop.

  Yao Ziye wiped his brother's face and, seeing that he had sweated and was all right, came back to sit beside his mother and help her crack the chestnuts piled on a plate.

  "I see that Mr. Lu and you are the same, neither of you has been drunk. You two are quite clever, not being cheated." Madam Yao said with a shake of her head.

  "Ha ha, that's because they don't dare to get us two drunk. If something unexpected happens at the banquet, what would they do without us two?"

  Madam Yao's hand gave her eldest son a light tap on the shoulder: "Clearly, you're doing this for someone."

  However, the news of the conflict between Old Lu and his grandson Mianmian reached her, so she had to remind her son: "Her grandfather, this idea is not wrong. Her heart can't always be hung on unrealistic people. You mustn't do anything against her grandfather."

  Her narrow and long eyes lowered, silently, without responding, nor saying no response.

  "What business?"

  "No, I just thought that if she's no longer surnamed Lu, is it preparing for her family to abandon her again."

  "Of course not. How could the Lu family possibly give her up? She's always been a member of the Lu family. This is just a family quarrel."

  It would be great if it were really like that.

  He lifted the cup in his hand and gazed at the tea water inside, where her shadow was faintly visible, as if it might disappear before him at any moment.

  If this torment of his heart was a punishment for the wrongs he had committed in those years, then so be it.

  Her eyes gazed out at the night outside, without a hint of confusion.

  ……

  The Lu family's dinner party ended around 8 or 9 pm. Jiang Yue deliberately avoided people, so she waited until almost everyone had left before making a move.

  Just a short distance from the door, a voice came out of the alley: "Chiang's reporter."

  For a moment, she thought it was her brother Jiang Yan calling out to her. After all, hadn't Jiang Yan left first?

  To her surprise, she turned around and found it was Cheng Si Quan.

  At first, she would often make big mistakes, and Cheng Si Quan's occasionally low and deep voice was somewhat similar to Jiang Yan's.

  It wasn't Jiang Yan, which made her furious. She quickly pulled him into the alley and glared at him: "What do you want? Didn't I say we shouldn't meet again?"

  She was angry, which proved that he hadn't misheard what she said the night before.

  Cheng Si Quan's face turned gloomy: "I just want to tell you, no matter if we meet again or not, I will divorce my wife. So, I won't restrain you, hoping to give you a glimmer of hope. Actually, getting a divorce isn't difficult."

  "Do you think you can influence me like this? Do you want to play the good guy?" Jiang Yue coldly smiled, "I'll tell you, if you want to betray your wife, don't drag me down with you."

  This remark hit Cheng Si Quan's weak point.

  He is looking for an excuse, a legitimate reason to betray his wife and son.

  "If I can find an excuse, why can't you?"

  It's hilarious. How did she become just like him?

  She never loved her current husband from the start, she only wanted her elder brother all along.

  "Did you marry him? It's a promise, an oath. Can you say that you haven't betrayed him?"

  Bang!

  She slapped him in the face with a loud crack.

  Cheng Si Quan, who had just been slapped, lifted his head again and saw that she had already stormed out of the alley.

  He didn't have to rely on her, but he knew his words had hurt her, and there were tears in her eyes, pitiful tears. This was something his wife, who never wanted to show weakness, couldn't give him.

  A pair of eyes hiding in the dark, motionless, had recorded their entire conversation just now with a mobile phone.

  Jian Chengsi has left, Wen Yuan plays with the mobile phone in her hand, and the corner of her mouth is hooked with interest: Now, who should I reveal this secret to first?

  ……

  Jiang Yue, who was still fuming in her heart, heard the next day that Manman had been disliked by Old Master Lu and couldn't help but feel a cold sneer.

  My husband got drunk last night. Mengmeng is going to the kitchen early this morning to make some nutritious porridge for him.

  Got some preserved eggs, lean meat, scallions and ginger, made a small pot and simmered it on the electric stove.

  Tasted a spoonful and felt okay, went outside to find that salty side dish to pick a fight with.

  Just as she walked to the kitchen door, Jiang Yue came towards her. Beyond her, she saw that pot of congee on the stove.

  Is it for Jiang Yan?

  Hong Zheyan: The undeniable fact is that Manman is his wife.

  But what can his wife do? Think about Cheng Si Quan, didn't he betray his own wife too?

  "Reporter Jiang." Seeing Jiang Yue blocking the doorway, Manman reminded.

  "There are so many people cooking here, but you insist on doing it yourself. However, even if you make something with your own hands, if the other person doesn't have the heart to accept it, won't that just add to their troubles?"

  Even if you give Lao Lu a good face, Lao Lu still won't be grateful, isn't that the case.

  You're a despicable woman who's done something wrong and still wants to show off?

  "Has Chiang ever heard of this proverb: 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you'?"

  Your own misdeeds will eventually be exposed.

  Jiang Yue's face suddenly turned pale as she associated the sentence with that mysterious person, staring at her: Could it be that she knew, was she the mysterious person who knew about her and Cheng Si Quan's secret?

  It's indeed Jiang Yue who did this good deed.

  Man Man brushed past her, and was very satisfied with Jiang Yue's dejected expression at this time.

  Jiang Yue walked back with a dazed expression.

  Manman couldn't shake off the question of how she knew her secret, which had been swirling in her mind. Just as she didn't have time to carefully examine the details, a sudden anonymous text message arrived on her phone, reading:

  I know about you and Cheng Si Quan's thing, let's meet up.

  Unexpectedly, it was indeed exposed, and thought of exposing her, taking this to finally intimidate her.

  Good evening.

  You're being unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless.

  She quickly came up with a plan, the terrain around this village, she was much clearer than Manman, the villagers' habit of going out, she was also more familiar with it, and then sent a meeting time and place to the other party.

  One o'clock in the afternoon, when there were fewer people.

  After climbing up a small hill behind the village, Jiang Yue saw the person waiting there.

  Not really!

  "Hello, Reporter Jiang." Jiang Mei adjusted her glasses, and just a slight glance at this young and beautiful woman made her feel an irrepressible anger.

  This woman is Cheng Si Quan's wife, she had met her a few times before. However, last night's dinner was the first time she saw Jiang Mei and Cheng Si Quan sitting together. It wasn't until then that she realized the fire she had started had reached Yan Ge Ge's older sister's husband.

  It's even more impossible for me to continue messing around with Cheng Si Quan.

  Jiang Yue's heart sank, what she feared more was Jiang Mei telling Jiang Yan about this.

  But how did Jiang Mei know? Was it told by Manman?

  "What's going on?" With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Jiang Yue wanted to know how much Jiang Mei knew. "I don't recognize you."

  "You don't recognize me, but I do recognize you. You are the daughter of my younger brother's father-in-law. I once heard Ah Yan say that she also considered you as a younger sister. Who would have thought that you would turn out to be such an unscrupulous woman? How can you bring yourself to do such things? Aren't you afraid that your dad will find out, or the leaders in your unit?" Jiang Mei took a deep breath and restrained herself from punching Jiang Yue in the face.

  She was well-prepared to question Jiang Yue today, although the informant had sent her a recording, but that ambiguous recording alone was not enough to explain the cause and effect, let alone determine Jiang Yue's guilt.

  Jiang Mei spoke as if she had evidence, causing Jiang Yue to panic: "No, Sister Mei, listen to my explanation. Mr.'s matter really has nothing to do with me. He just wants a divorce from you. I've even advised him not to divorce you."

  "If he doesn't flirt with her, will he want to divorce me? You yourself also want a divorce, aren't you!" Jiang Mei was not fooled by her magnificent excuse. The fact is that this bitch, not only flirting with her husband but also wanting to flirt with other men, who knows how many boats she wants to have a foot in!

  She had seen Jiang Mei being shameless before, but she had never seen anyone more despicable and shameless than the woman in front of her.

  However, Jiang Yue was suddenly calm because she saw the half-exposed mobile phone screen in Jiang Mei's pocket, which showed that it was recording.

  "Mei Jie, do you really want me to die?"

  "Yes!" Jiang Mei spat out without hesitation, a mouthful of bitter vomit.

  The corners of his mouth slightly curved up in a smile, like a poppy blooming wildly in the dark. He suddenly reached out and snatched the phone from Jiang Mei's pocket.

  Off guard for a moment, Jiang Mei saw that the mobile phone with important evidence had fallen into the opponent's hands and reached out to grab it.

  In the midst of their quarrel, the mobile phone fell to the ground and was trampled by Jiang Yue into two halves.

  Jiang Mei slapped her face with one palm.

  Jiang Yue covered half of her face that had been hit by her, and suddenly fell backwards from the slope.

  Jiang Mei hastily stretched out her hand to pull her, but couldn't catch hold of her.

  Jiang Yue rolled down, all the way rolling down.

  "Older female cousin!" A shout of surprise came from the foot of the mountain, Qin Shao looked up and saw Jiang Mei standing at the top of the slope, pointing at her, "Don't run away!"

  Jiang Mei stood there, no matter how neat and tidy she was, but at this moment, she was also confused by the sudden situation.

  ……

  Last night Lao Lu's words were made public, so today's banquet should be cancelled. Manman leisurely chatted with her husband who had slept for a whole night and the entire morning.

  Jiang Yan was hungover and when he got up, he still felt a bit dizzy. He sat up with the support of his wife's hand: "How did I hear that you had a fight with someone?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Hmm?" The tip of his finger tapped on his wife's lovely face.

  The wife who nodded with a small head is really cute.

  Hit her husband's unruly hand: "Are you done yet? Look at you getting drunk like this, even if you're thrown into the Pacific Ocean, you won't wake up."

  "Yes, I didn't wake up from my dream where my wife became an idiot. The gentle and refined young lady suddenly wanted to open a restaurant and become the female boss. People who don't know the situation would think that I married a female gangster."

  Manman was teased by her husband's words and cried with laughter: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

  "You're silly, and you're also my wife." Comrade Jiang Yan said, while giving his wife a peck on her slightly upturned lips.

  No matter what others say, Jiang Yun loves this wife of his, others may not care, but he does.

  Manman leaned her head on her husband's shoulder: "I don't know what I've done, whether it's right or wrong for the future. But if I didn't do this, my heart wouldn't be at ease. I'm probably really stupid. If Haoyue and those people find out about this, they'll probably drown me with their saliva."

  "You know you're stupid and that's it. It means you have self-awareness, and the road ahead will never go wrong."

  Unexpectedly, my husband's eloquence is so remarkable. His philosophical words fully demonstrate his talent as a teacher.

  "A Yan, you're really suited to be a teacher. I'd love to see what it's like when you teach students." Manman's little wife praises her husband.

  Wife's praise made him overjoyed, kiss again and again.

  "Ah Yan, Man Man!"

  Jiang's father suddenly shouted anxiously at the door, causing the two lips that had been tightly pressed together in the room to immediately separate.

  "What's wrong, Dad?" Jiang Yun rushed over to open the door.

  "Bad news, your sister has been accused of injuring someone."
