Chapter 1505 - 994: Troubles (3)
"Nonsense! You think I’m really an idiot?" Lin Mengran snorted coldly, "I just didn’t bother to expose you, and besides, I wanted to see if you would intentionally switch sides because you got along with Ou Yi."
Yang Xiaoli was exasperated: "Am I that kind of person? Actually, we wanted to tell you earlier, but considering Zuo Jiang’s character, it seemed unlikely, so we asked Ou Yi to check it out, but he hasn’t given a definitive answer yet. Anyway, after waiting so long, we thought we might as well wait a bit longer. Boss, with the bond we share, do you think we’d deliberately keep this from you? If it were confirmed, not only would we tell you, we’d also stand up for you together."
"Alright, stop saying pleasant things..." Lin Mengran rolled her eyes, "If I didn’t ask, would you still think I’d foolishly remain in the dark?"
"Your eyes are practically popping out..." Yang Xiaoli chuckled helplessly, "Being nice is never easy, if not for trying to keep you unworried, would we go through all this trouble?"
"How about inviting Zuo Jiang over for a meal..." Chuxia suggested to Lin Mengran, "You reach out to him, then after dinner, we’ll all chat. If you’re not comfortable asking, we’ll do it, okay?"
"Better not, that’s too awkward..." Lin Mengran shook her head, rejecting Chuxia’s proposal, "I’ve decided, I’ll ask him personally tomorrow. It’s my business, and I have to face it myself."
Chuxia nodded: "Alright, do as you see fit, anyway, we support you."
Several families gathered together, taking up two large tables, one for the elders, one for the younger folks. Qian Yan and her brother were familiar with Chuxia, but with the others, they knew just enough to be considered acquaintances, which made them somewhat reserved. After dinner, the siblings quickly left.
Just as the siblings left, Lin Mengran lowered her voice: "The environment has a huge impact on people; when I used to see Qian Yan, she seemed a bit flamboyant and arrogant. Now, she looks like quite a gentle girl."
Chuxia responded with a smile: "Different mindset, different demeanor. As for Dakun, he used to be particularly shy, now he’s more talkative."
"You call that talkative?" Lin Mengran shrugged, indicating she did not agree.
"That’s because you hadn’t seen him before, very opinionated but never said more than necessary. Today, even though he was a bit reserved, he joked and laughed with you all. Didn’t you notice how Grandpa Wan looked over, very pleased?"
On one side they were discussing the siblings, on the other, the siblings were mulling over the day’s events.
"Sis, is it not good for us to leave like this?" Qian Dakun asked Qian Yan, "Sister Chuxia was really kind to us, she has so many friends over, wasn’t it a bit disrespectful to leave like that?"
"She’s not that petty..." Qian Yan shot her brother a glance and teased, "Dakun, you never cared about anyone like this before. Is it because Chuxia is pretty that you’re particularly fond of being around her?"
"Nonsense!" Qian Dakun blushed fiercely and glared at Qian Yan, "Sis, if you keep talking like that, I won’t bother with you anymore. If Brother-in-law Zhou heard, what would he think?"
"Okay, okay, I won’t say it anymore..." Qian Yan laughed, patting his head, "I was just joking with you. But seriously, I’m quite envious of Lin Chuxia.
Having so many genuine friends around her..." She sighed, "Ever since I was young, I’ve longed for a life like this, but at least now, I can happily live together with my family."
"Sis..." Qian Dakun nodded his chin forward, "That woman is at our door again."
Following the direction her brother pointed, Qian Yan’s expression turned cold. Of course, she knew who this woman was, but since her grandpa had already married, why does she keep doing this, doesn’t she have any shame?
Thinking this, she quickened her pace forward.
The woman saw her and turned to run.
"Stop right there!" Qian Yan shouted, seeing the woman still running, she said, "If you keep running, I’ll tell my mom. I’m warning you, my mom isn’t as good-tempered as I am! Don’t believe me? Try it!" (To be continued. If you enjoyed this piece, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
