Chapter 391: Chapter 391 Comedy_1

"Shen Yuntian!"

Miss Zeng wanted to stand up for Hexiu, but when she met Shen Yuntian’s gaze, her whole body trembled.

This man... was looking particularly fierce now...

She didn’t understand how Hexiu could have fallen for him...

"Jingzhi?"

Ignoring Miss Zeng’s words, Shen Yuntian turned his head to look at Wang Jingzhi.

Facing his puzzled gaze, Wang Jingzhi’s face reddened slightly, and he spoke in a low voice,

"Brother Yuntian, Xixi and I are planning to get engaged." The youth stood up straight and gently took the young girl’s hand.

Shen Yuntian felt as if a muffled thunderclap had sounded above his head.

So, Jingzhi had been quietly making big moves by himself. They were already planning to get engaged, while he was still under the impression that they were just friends.

"You’re a fast one," Shen Yuntian chuckled wryly, shaking his head.

"Brother Yuntian, to be frank, Hexiu is a good girl, and you don’t seem indifferent to her. We’re both men, I can tell." Wang Jingzhi was equally helpless.

With the sudden appearance of a disaster, countless people are displaced from their homes.

And many of them are left in the muck of despair.

They are fortunate just to be alive now, let alone having a good girl who likes them.

But he couldn’t force Shen Yuntian to choose the same path he had chosen.

At least what he could see was that Shen Yuntian indeed had feelings for Hexiu, but there were just some hesitations in his heart.

It could also be said to be selfishness. He didn’t want to let go of the girl who gave him warmth when he was most down and out.

In the same way, he didn’t want Shen Yuntian to let go of her either.

Unfortunately, the young man was not articulate enough to express his thoughts clearly.

"I understand." Shen Yuntian hung his head, appearing dispirited.

Miss Zeng did not say anything else but stood quietly by the side of the love of her life, feeling the warmth in his hand.

Shen Yuntian left. Before he left, he glanced at the setting sun outside the window.

Taking leave from the master, Wang Jingzhi went to buy some cakes and headed towards the Lin family’s house.

The Lin family had treated him kindly. Beyond saving his life at first, he owed his chance to become an apprentice to the efforts of his aunt and uncle from the Lin family.

Now, as he and Xixi were about to become engaged, they naturally were, like the master, his elders.

The Lin family was bustling at this moment. When Wang Jingzhi entered, he saw an old woman sitting in the courtyard, making a big fuss.

The members of the Lin family all had speechless expressions on their faces and were just sitting nearby watching.

"Jingzhi is here eh?" Mrs. Lin was feeling rather annoyed. Seeing Wang Jingzhi entering, her face lit up with joy and she hurriedly got up to greet him.

Mr. Lin was sitting further outside. As soon as he heard someone at the gate, he had already been watching. Seeing his wife about to greet the guest, he quickly stepped forward to keep her in her seat.

"Dear, sit down, I will go and greet him." After saying that, Mr. Lin, relieved, strode over to greet Wang Jingzhi.

"Jingzhi ah, you are here. Why did you bring something back? Come this way, Uncle Lin will take you inside to sit." As Mr. Lin said this, he led Wang Jingzhi towards the inner room, leaving Wang Jingzhi somewhat bewildered.

"Uncle Lin, what...what happened?" Wang Jingzhi was pushed by Mr. Lin as he walked, only able to twist his head to look at the comical scene in the courtyard.

"It’s nothing, nothing." Mr. Lin was relieved to be able to escape from this place. He did not explain but just led him towards the inner room.

Leaving his wife and children suffering in the courtyard.

Nanzhi watched the old woman on the ground, feeling her head about to explode.

The woman was imprisoned three days ago, and after being released today, she had quietly followed them home.

Evaluating the time, this commotion had lasted for about an hour already.

The old woman’s tactics only consisted of crying, kicking up a fuss, threatening suicide, and acting hysterically if none of the above worked.

At first it could have been considered a joke or spectacle, but as it dragged on, it started to become truly annoying.

Old Ms. Su saw that no one had come over after her crying and shouting for so long, and couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

This wasn’t right. In the village, whenever there was a spectacle, many people would gather round to watch.

Even the last time she caused a ruckus in the restaurant, hadn’t a group formed as well?

After spending a few days in the dungeon, she had come to understand.

At her age, she had became a pawn in someone else’s game.

As for her granddaughter, she was indeed a figure with boundless prospects in Yan City.

Old Ms. Su was filled with hatred in her heart.

She hated herself for not killing her granddaughter when she was small, hated herself for not forcing Su Tao to get married for the dowry, hated herself for not finding out the news sooner, for not coming to enjoy the good life sooner.

"Okay, if you’ve had enough of your tantrums, leave." At this point, Mrs. Lin was already annoyed and was thinking that she needed to rein in her husband properly.

Really, the old saying was right, ’husband and wife are like birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways.’

Not only did this man run off at the first sign of trouble, but he even tried to step on her in the process!

Ugh!

Once a woman flies into a rage, she doesn’t care about anything else.

"If it weren’t for your daughter driving my granddaughter away, she might have become the city lord’s wife by now!" Old Ms. Su spat on the ground in fury and declared resentfully.

Even though she didn’t like her own granddaughter, if Su Tao had become the city lord’s wife, she wouldn’t be suffering like this now.

Even if she did run into them, the people from the Lin family would have to kneel and kowtow to her!

"Old woman, the only reason I haven’t had my son throw you out is because of your age!" Mrs. Lin’s anger flared up even more when she saw the fresh spit on the ground.

The courtyard was paved with green slabs of stone. The visible mark left by her spit was utterly revolting.

"Huh, it’s because your daughter has a guilty conscience!" Old Ms. Su knew from the moment she entered the gate that the Lin family weren’t cruel people and wouldn’t lay hands on her.

Considering the laws here, a minor offense, especially by an elderly person like her who hadn’t hurt anyone, would typically receive lenient treatment.

Given that she didn’t have any money on her and couldn’t go back, going into the county government office might at least get her a meal.

"I wonder who the guilty one really is!" Mrs. Lin turned her eyes up to the sky in exasperation.

"You only wanted to marry off Su Tao for the dowry. She has been gone for two years and you haven’t come looking for her once, but now that she’s rich, you come scurrying! You should fear dropping dead on the way here!"

"You! You!" Old Ms. Su felt a tightness in her chest. She stuttered for a moment, unable to find her words.

"Only a rustic like you, who’s as good as buried up to the neck in the yellow earth, could do something like this! Taking advantage of your granddaughter’s status to cause trouble in public, what, are you afraid your granddaughter’s reputation is too good, that she might actually get married?

Always talking about the city lord’s wife - don’t you look at who your granddaughter’s grandmother is! Could Su Tao even hold that position with you by her side?

Zhiyu, come here!

Mrs. Lin called out, beckoning towards Shen Zhiyu.

The little one understood her grandmother’s meaning and came bounding over.

"Have a good look. This is the city lord’s biological son!"

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, Nanzhi dutifully stood up and moved to stand on her mother’s other side.

"Now, this is his mother!

Tell me, where could your granddaughter possibly fit in?"

Mrs. Lin snorted coldly, saying no more.
