Chapter 38

Gao Juhua bought a bunch of things and waited for her in the house, but she waited and waited, and Lu Yunxiang didn’t come back.

It was already nine o’clock.

Chen Chunping’s ten-year-old son was going to bed.

Zhang Lin on the balcony was also going to bed.

She couldn’t wait any longer.

But she was fuming inside.

A woman, not coming back until ten o’clock, who knows what kind of shady things she’s doing out there.

Right now, Su Wenyuan needed Lu Yunxiang to cover for him.

She would definitely discipline her when Lu Yunxiang came home!

Gao Juhua stood up, suppressing her anger.

“Sister-in-law, it’s late, I’ll go back now, I’ll come back early tomorrow.”

Chen Chunping was also angry, where had Lu Yunxiang gone that she hadn’t come back yet?

This had never happened before.

Su Wenyuan wanted to marry her, she should be happy!

What more did she want?

“Sister-in-law, Xiangxiang must have been delayed today, she’s not usually like this. Be patient.”

If it were any other time, Chen Chunping wouldn’t bother covering for Lu Yunxiang.

But this matter concerned Lu Yunxiang’s marriage, it concerned whether she could stay in Fengcheng.

She had to cover for Lu Yunxiang.

Gao Juhua’s lips twitched.

She gave a forced smile.

“Xiangxiang is a good girl, I know that. It’s late, I’ll go back now, don’t bother seeing me off, get some rest.”

Gao Juhua left.

Not long after Gao Juhua left, Lu Yunxiang came back.

Chen Chunping said angrily, “Why are you just coming back now?”

Lu Yunxiang glanced at the things on the table and raised an eyebrow.

This time, Gao Juhua had gone all out, it wasn’t rotten apples anymore.

Fresh apples, malt extract, and a good piece of cloth.

When a mean-spirited person suddenly becomes generous, there’s only one possibility, they have ulterior motives!

Lu Yunxiang looked at Chen Chunping and smiled gently.

“Why do you think I came back so late? Why did Gao Juhua leave right before I came back?”

Obviously, she wanted to avoid Gao Juhua!

Chen Chunping was speechless.

Then she advised earnestly.

“Xiangxiang, Wenyuan is handsome, young, and a deputy factory manager, with a promising future. So many girls want to marry him, don’t miss out on him.”

Lu Yunxiang said disdainfully, “It’s debatable whether he’s a good deputy factory manager, he has a mistress, his conduct is questionable, the factory has suspended him.”

Then she smiled at Chen Chunping.

“This mistress is my cousin Yang Qingxue, you should have heard of her, right?”

Chen Chunping froze.

She had heard of her, more than that!

In fact, she had seen Yang Qingxue and Su Wenyuan acting intimately more than once.

But she didn’t care about Lu Yunxiang, she didn’t care.

Chen Chunping explained, “People outside are gossiping, you know what kind of person your cousin is? She’s such a kind person, she wouldn’t even step on an ant. How could she be involved with Su Wenyuan? She’s your cousin, you have to believe her.”

Lu Yunxiang crossed her arms and just looked at her with a smirk.

It made Chen Chunping feel uneasy.

Chen Chunping pointed to the things on the table, trying to cover up.

“Look at your future mother-in-law, she’s so sincere. These things are so good, she bought so many things for the proposal, she really values you!”

Chen Chunping deliberately didn’t mention the fact that Gao Juhua had only brought a few rotten apples earlier.

Fortunately, Lu Yunxiang had no expectations of Chen Chunping.

Lu Yunxiang ignored her and went straight to her room.

Recently, Lu Yunxiang had been very assertive, treating Chen Chunping with disdain, which made Chen Chunping feel resentful.

Now, seeing Lu Yunxiang completely ignoring her, the resentment in her heart couldn’t be suppressed.

“Xiangxiang, are you going to hold onto this? Xiaoxue is your cousin, what’s the big deal about her accepting your boyfriend’s gifts? We’re all family, is it necessary to make such a fuss?”

Lu Yunxiang stopped at the doorway.

She wasn’t angry.

She gave Chen Chunping a meaningful look.

“We’re family, it’s true that there’s no need to make a fuss, Mom, you said it yourself, remember that.”

When something like this happens to you, I hope you’ll also stick to the principle of not making a fuss about family matters.

Lu Yunxiang returned to her room.

Chen Chunping didn’t quite understand the meaning of Lu Yunxiang’s words.

But she sensed a deeper meaning.

She went back to her room, feeling frustrated.

Zhang Qing sat on the bed, his voice cold, “What did she say? Did she agree to the marriage?”

Chen Chunping snorted.

“I’m her mother, marriage has always been arranged by parents, how could she disobey me? Tomorrow when Gao Juhua comes, I’ll discuss the wedding date with her directly and get the marriage done!”

Zhang Qing nodded.

“It’s best to get the marriage done before she goes to the capital, and then use the marriage as an excuse to prevent her from going to the capital to visit relatives.”

Chen Chunping agreed.

“I understand.”

They planned to use the marriage to keep Lu Yunxiang in Fengcheng.

Forever in Fengcheng.

*

However, their plan fell through. That night, Su Wenyuan was reported for embezzlement and taken to the police station for questioning.

This incident caused a huge stir.

The Su family was in complete chaos.

Gao Juhua was focused on getting Su Wenyuan out, where would she have the time to propose to Lu Yunxiang?

Even if the marriage went through, what good would it do if her son was in jail?

The news spread like wildfire that night, and Chen Chunping heard about it the next morning.

She was furious!

How could Su Wenyuan be such a drag!

What should they do now?

After hearing the news, Zhang Qing’s mood was gloomy all morning.

Now they couldn’t use marriage to trap Lu Yunxiang, what should they do?

So he pulled Chen Chunping into their room.

“We can’t use marriage to trap her now, we need to come up with another plan.”

Chen Chunping was also anxious!

“What plan?”

“Aren’t you going to take Linlin and Xiangxiang to pick mushrooms today? What if Xiangxiang gets injured while picking mushrooms…”

Chen Chunping was surprised at first, then she thought of something and made a decision.

“Okay!”

Zhang Qing smiled with satisfaction.

“Remember to make it look accidental.”
