Chapter 548: Chapter 547: Completely Silly

Lin Xia saw Lin Qiu so righteously indignant, she quickly composed her anger and observed every nuance in Lin Qiu’s expression intently.

After a while, Lin Xia spoke, "Xiaoqiu! Don’t be angry anymore! We will get back at them sooner or later! I actually wanted to ask you something!"

"Sister! What is it?" Lin Qiu’s anxiety kicked in subconsciously; she always felt something different in her sister’s eyes.

Lin Xia didn’t beat around the bush but got straight to the point, "What do you think about him being so busy with work?"

"Actually, I want you to think it over. I hope you will be happy in the future, and I don’t want you to live a hard life!"

Lin Qiu pursed her lips tightly, "Sister! I think he’s a good person! But we are just starting to get to know each other! It’s not certain whether it will work out, so I want to spend more time together..."

"Good! As long as you are aware of it! Go change your clothes now!" Lin Xia didn’t say anything else, feeling that some things were better taken slowly.

At Mingyuan Restaurant, Jiang Mingyuan had already heard about Lin Qiu getting involved with someone. Today, upon seeing the young man, he thought he seemed decent.

He personally arranged a private room for them and joined them for dinner, chatting and drinking...

Compared to the lively atmosphere with Lin Xia, the Wu Family’s lunch was quite gloomy.

Wu Zhengyang was silent, both Wu’s mother and Wu Zhenghong had their own concerns.

Miao Xue, feeling guilty, didn’t dare to speak. She kept a cautious eye on Wu Zhenghong’s facial expressions, fearing she might blurt out something.

Although she knew Wu Zhengyang would find out sooner or later, she still hoped to delay it day by day.

After much hesitation, Wu’s mother eventually brought up the topic of Lin Qiu’s partner visiting their home, "I heard Lin Qiu’s partner came to our house! I don’t know what he looks like?"

She guessed her family didn’t know yet and worried it might upset her son if he found out unexpectedly, so she thought it better to give him a heads up.

Wu Zhengyang paused while picking up his food but then quickly resumed normally, his tone neutral, "I know! I ran into him this morning when I was heading out to work! He looks pretty good!"

Seeing Lin Qiu’s partner, he felt as if needles were pricking his heart.

But he had adjusted his emotions and mood over the course of the morning.

Therefore, he wouldn’t display the painful emotions as he had done in the morning.

"Ah! You ran into him!" Wu’s mother instantly regretted speaking up, wishing she hadn’t brought it up knowing her son was already aware.

This was indeed bringing up exactly what should have been avoided!

"Mom! Let’s eat! The food will get cold soon!" Wu Zhenghong tried to smooth things over, though she too hesitated about whether to tell her brother about Miao Xue’s actions.

Miao Xue had stood outside the door, speaking words she had heard.

She could not understand what was going on in Miao Xue’s mind.

Having already taken Wu Zhengyang away from Lin Qiu and now married, the two should just live well on their own!

Why go after Lin Qiu, even trying to sabotage her marriage prospects?

Recalling the words said by Lin Qiu’s partner, she felt embarrassed for Miao Xue!

The face of the Wu family was being lost if this continued!

Wu’s mother took a bite of her food, feeling something was off as she glanced at Miao Xue, who was quietly eating.

Logically, if Miao Xue had heard about this, she couldn’t possibly react like this!

She had been confronting Lin Qiu and her sister just a few days ago, and now upon hearing about Lin Qiu’s partner, how could she not have any opinions to express?

Miao Xue felt the scrutinizing gaze of Madam Wu, and she could only hide her guilt and remorse, pretending nothing had happened as she lifted her head and retorted, "She really does have someone now!"

Wu Zhengyang stared at her coldly and warned, "Miao Xue! Remember what I said the other day! If you dare to trouble Lin Qiu again, we’ll go straight to filing the paperwork!"

This time, he also steeled his heart; if Miao Xue troubled Lin Qiu again, he wouldn’t indulge her any further! Whatever needed to be done would be done!

Waves of shock surged in Miao Xue’s heart, yet she dared not show the slightest on her face.

She only hoped that what had happened that morning hadn’t been seen or heard by anyone. Otherwise, if Wu Zhengyang found out, he would certainly be determined not to live with her.

But how could that be possible?

Not to mention whether anyone at the grocery store across the street had seen anything, her older cousin definitely knew something, or else why would she look so hesitant to speak?

Wu Zhenghong heard Wu Zhengyang say such words, feeling even more conflicted.

If she mentioned what Miao Xue did to her brother at this time, it would seem as if she really hoped that they would separate.

Upon further thought, she could keep quiet for the time being to avoid their quarreling, but what about the people across the street and Lin Qiu’s family? Who could guarantee that none of them would talk?

Look at the mess Miao Xue has created, she’s truly dug her own grave... foolish to the core...

...

Song Zhiya saw Jiang Mingyuan, Lu Zheng, and the other two men primarily focusing on drinking and chatting, barely eating anything, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit distressed.

Although she sat next to Jiang Mingyuan, she didn’t dare serve him food.

After all, their relationship was unclear at the moment, and such a gesture would be too intimate.

Moreover, with so many eyes watching, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.

If it were just her and Jiang Mingyuan alone, maybe she could manage.

Lin Xia was seated next to Song Zhiya, and she found the whole situation quite amusing as she observed everything.

She was just about to tease them when suddenly someone knocked on the door of the private room.

"Come in!"

Everyone else turned towards the door, mostly assuming it was a waiter.

But when they saw Ji Man enter, Lin Xia was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be Ji Man, yet she quickly got up and greeted her with a smile, "Ji Man! Are you here for dinner too?"

She hadn’t informed Ji Man when she got married, yet Ji Man showed up uninvited.

Since Ji Man attended her wedding, she couldn’t appear too cold.

Truth be told, she really felt that she couldn’t return to the good old times with Ji Man.

It wasn’t just Ji Man who had changed; she had changed as well.

Ji Man had a broad smile, "Yeah! What a coincidence! I am eating here with my family. The waiter mentioned you guys were here too!"

Her gaze swept around, and when she saw that Song Zhiya was sitting next to Jiang Mingyuan, a sinister flash crossed her smiling eyes.

Ji Man warmly grasped Lin Xia’s hand with a mix of sincerity and pretense, "Lin Xia! You’re really something, not even telling me when you were back from the provincial city!" Today she just happened to catch Lin Xia and her group dining here; otherwise, she wouldn’t have even seen Lin Xia.

"Sorry! We’ve been so busy since we got back; we haven’t had the time to see you! Why not sit down and join us?" Lin Xia politely invited.

Ji Man quickly waved her hand, "No need! My parents are still eating at another table!" She pointed at Kang Yijun and asked, "Hey! Who is this?"
