Chapter 332: Chapter 331: Hold Your Head High and Spew Forth

Qian Chunli felt somewhat faint-hearted, but of course, she was thrilled that her daughter could find someone with such good prospects.

However, she also feared that her daughter might be deceived, "Xiaoyu, is the guy you mentioned really as good as you say?"

"Mom! Really!" Lin Yu didn’t hide it anymore, "His family opened a cosmetics store right across from Lin Xia’s store. Do you think they have money or not?"

Qian Chunli, now whenever she heard Lin Xia’s name, would grit her teeth in hatred, "That vile woman, just wait for the day she’ll face big trouble!"

But knowing her daughter had found someone with such great prospects, she genuinely felt uplifted.

Relatives and friends thought since her son was in prison and she had been ill, she was finished.

Now that her daughter had found a good match, that trumped everything else.

Lin Yu nodded somberly, "Right! Let her show off for a little while longer!" During this period, as she was fully focused on marrying Chen Gang, once she entered the Chen Family, she absolutely wouldn’t let that vile Lin Xia have it easy.

Qian Chunli immediately worried again, "Xiaoyu, but you’re rushing into marriage. With our family in its current state to send you off..."

She had only just recovered from her illness and didn’t have much money. She should provide some dowry when her daughter got married.

Lin Yu hurriedly said, "Mom! Don’t worry about these things! I’m also young now, my mother-in-law said we could do the wedding later when I’m older! A meal together with everyone is enough to count as getting married..."

Qian Chunli felt joy mixed with sorrow, worried at heart, "How can a single meal count as a wedding?"

Lin Yu caressed her abdomen, hesitating whether to tell her mother the truth.

Qian Chunli, having gone through life experiences, could see things for what they were.

Qian Chunli’s tone grew stern, "Xiaoyu, tell mom the truth! Are you, you know, pregnant?"

Qian Mother also looked anxiously at Lin Yu, waiting for her response.

Lin Yu, feeling embarrassed, nodded shyly.

Qian Chunli and Qian Mother exchanged glances, both feeling an unusual sentiment.

"My child! My child! How could you do such a foolish thing! What if he denies it? How will you manage in the future?" Qian Chunli feared, worried about the reputation of being pregnant before marriage — who would want her after that?

Lin Yu, wiping tears, said, "Mom! I really had no choice! There are things I never told you! Qiangzi received a lighter sentence because I asked my fiancé to intervene, otherwise, do you think he’d get only ten years? Those with lesser crimes got fifteen years or were executed..."

Qian Chunli was both angry and full of hatred, not knowing what to say.

With everything that happened, Lin Yu was at fault, and then this...

Lin Yu mentioned to them, "My mother-in-law said she booked the largest Mingyuan Restaurant in the city, make sure you come early!"

After Lin Yu left, Qian Mother sent someone to pass the word to their son and daughter in the village. At such a time, relatives definitely had to come forward to show that the family had support.

Lin Aiguo came home from the night shift and saw quite a few members of the Qian Family had arrived. Upon asking, he found out it was for Lin Yu’s wedding preparations.

He scoffed and returned to the Eastern House, unwilling to be involved.

Who cares, it’s not his own daughter getting married.

For Lin Yu’s banquet, Qian Chunlei’s and his brother’s families, including Qian Chunmei’s family, came from the village to the city for the celebration.

Qian Chunsheng’s daughter, Qian Jie, was quite envious of Lin Yu securing such a good in-law’s family.

Upon hearing that the family owned a cosmetics store, she began to harbor other thoughts.

Lin Yu, busy warmly greeting Chen Family’s close relatives and friends, could hardly attend to the Qian Family.

The Qian Family had been reminded by Old Lady Qian to behave properly, so they maintained a decent decorum during the meal.

They did not do anything too outrageous.

Chen Mother had been worried, knowing that Lin Yu’s mother remarried to the man living across from the shop owned by Lin Xia’s father.

On such an important day, she didn’t know if that man would show up.

In the end, he didn’t come.

Though the attending guests looked ordinary in their apparel, none too striking, this somewhat relieved her.

Chen’s father acknowledged Lin Yu’s family with a greeting before heading to his own relatives’ table.

Chen Gang had also invited some friends, including Miao Xue among the few close ones.

Miao Xue guessed somewhat why Chen Gang had chosen Lin Yu, but what could she say now that they had already held the wedding banquet?

What she found hard to accept was that someone like Lin Yu had actually married Chen Gang.

In the future, she would have to call her "sister-in-law," which she found quite suffocating, especially since she had been the one to bring them together.

Lin Yu specifically offered Miao Xue a drink, and they exchanged pleasantries, seemingly close in the eyes of the onlookers, but only they knew the grudge that had formed between them.

Towards the end of the meal, Qian Jie suggested checking out Lin Yu’s spouse’s store.

Qian Chunli, in front of her in-laws, certainly couldn’t go and make a scene at Lin Xia’s place.

Moreover, her disease had just gotten better, and seeing Lin Xia might cause a relapse.

Qian Chunsheng scolded his daughter, "Go and see what?"

"It’s okay! Just going for a look won’t hurt!" Chen’s mother tried to smooth things over.

"I’m sorry for the laughter, the child is ignorant and shouldn’t be indulged!" Qian Chunsheng was very angry, feeling his daughter was disgracing him.

Qian Jie wilted, fearing her father would scold her when they got home, so she didn’t bring it up again.

Qian Jiang and Qian Chunmei’s son and daughter-in-law were warned with a glance, and nobody else tried to stir up trouble.

After the meal, as Chen’s father and a group of people were leaving, he saw Jiang Mingyuan coming in from outside and eagerly greeted him, "Mr. Jiang!"

"Ah! Chief Chen! Have you eaten well? Take care!" Jiang Mingyuan responded politely.

Chen’s father felt very honored in front of his friends and relatives, "Good! Mr. Jiang is too kind!"

Jiang Mingyuan, seeing Qian Chunli and her daughter among these people, looked at them curiously a couple of times, not understanding what their relationship was with these folks.

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu were also looking at Jiang Mingyuan, their eyes filled with anger, recognizing him despite his disguise!

Was he the owner here? Was this store his?

Jiang Mingyuan went to the store to find Lin Xia.

Lin Xia saw his strange expression, somewhere between a smile and not, and found it very odd.

"Brother! What happened?"

Jiang Mingyuan glanced at the customers in Lin Xia’s store and two salesclerks staring at him, knowing he couldn’t discuss whatever it was there.

"Lin Xia! Let’s talk outside about something!"

"Sure!" Lin Xia set aside what she was doing and followed Jiang Mingyuan out of the store, and they sat in the car.

"What happened?" Lin Xia felt Jiang Mingyuan was a bit strange today.

Jiang Mingyuan pointed to the beauty store on his left, "Lin Yu got married yesterday!"

"Really? To that Chen Gang?" Lin Xia had found it odd before, wondering why she hadn’t seen Lin Yu around.

"Yes! They held a few tables for the wedding banquet in our store..." Jiang Mingyuan revealed the details of the event to her.

Lin Xia laughed aloud, "Luckily they don’t know about my involvement, otherwise, who knows what would have happened in your store!" It was indeed a possibility.

After laughing for a while, Jiang Mingyuan left.

Lin Xia returned to the store, still feeling somewhat astonished.

How old was Lin Yu?

So young to get married, she wondered if they had even registered their marriage.

The thought that, from now on, she was the boss’s wife across the street, left her scratching her head endlessly.
