Chapter 123 : Lin Changan is a Married Woman

The next day, Jiang Yu accompanied Xie Fei fei to buy a watch.

Lin Changan had given her the money and the watch ticket in advance, allowing her to choose any style she wanted, with no need for returns, if she spent less, he would make up the difference.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Looks like he treats you pretty well.”

Xie Fei fei’s cheeks flushed slightly, round like an apple, and she showed a hint of shyness under Jiang Yu’s gaze.

“He is nice. He Tingyue treats you well too, he even bought you a watch.”

She thought Jiang Yu’s choice was pretty as well, but the department store had run out of that style and said it would take a few days to restock.

Xie Fei fei couldn’t wait and wanted to buy one right away.

So she picked another style from the same brand, Meihua.

“He has a bicycle, and my family has one too, so there’s no need to buy that. He originally said he wanted to buy another sewing machine, he even exchanged tickets for it, but my mom said it wasn’t necessary.”

They already had a sewing machine at home, and only Huang Ying could use it.

Jiang Yu was surprised. “Isn’t he moving in with you?”

Why was he still preparing for big purchases?

Xie Fei fei bit her lip and smiled. “He said the bride price is fifty yuan, just give it to him directly. As for living in my house and the kids taking my surname, it will follow the arrangement of moving in, and the rest can be dealt with as needed. The money for the restaurant is also from him.”

Both Xie Jinchang and Huang Ying thought he was at a disadvantage, and they increasingly wanted to treat Lin Changan well.

“He’s going to propose at the end of the month. Has he talked to his dad?” Jiang Yu worried that Lin Changan’s father might cause trouble.

Xie Fei fei shook her head. “He said he wouldn’t come, there’s no need to invite him to the wedding. We all know his relationship with his family is poor. It’s better not to invite his stepmother and create awkwardness.”

Lin Changan thought the same, but a couple of days ago, his stepmother Miao Liyun somehow found out about their relationship and actually came to discuss the wedding.

“She acted like a mother-in-law in front of me, saying that once I enter the family, I should keep a good relationship with her.”

She was directly chased out by Huang Ying, Lin Changan’s biological father hadn’t cared for the two children’s matters, so what qualifications did Miao Liyun, as a stepmother, have?

Jiang Yu’s clever mind quickly figured out the nuances.

“She’s the kind of person who won’t act without a profit, she probably has other motives.”

Xie Fei fei agreed. “Exactly, she wants my parents to arrange a job for her.”

Jiang Yu replied, “What a big face.”

Xie Fei fei scoffed, “Right?”

Miao Liyun wanted a job for security for herself and her son.

To put it plainly, she didn’t completely trust Lin Changan’s father.

Just then, as they finished shopping, they ran into Miao Liyun.

Miao Liyun was accompanied by her son, who looked to be the same age as He Zhengdong but had a wildness in his eyes.

Xie Fei fei didn’t plan to greet her and pulled Jiang Yu to leave.

But Miao Liyun wasn’t about to waste such a good opportunity. With a warm smile, she walked right up to them.

“Isn’t this Fei fei? You’re here shopping too?”

Xie Fei fei replied disdainfully, “What else could I do at a mall?”

Miao Liyun didn’t care about being snubbed, she had learned to endure since entering the Lin family.

“If you want to buy something, Auntie will pay for it as a gift for you, my future daughter-in-law.”

At that moment, Xie Fei fei felt like she had swallowed a fly, unable to spit it out, but it was hard to swallow.

“Don’t! Whatever I want, my parents and Lin Changan will buy for me, I don’t need you. And what makes you think you’re my mother-in-law? Just stop acting all high and mighty in front of me.”

Miao Liyun’s smile faded a little. She thought Xie Fei fei was just as annoying as Lin Changan, resistant to both persuasion and coercion.

As Xie Fei fei tried to pull Jiang Yu away, Miao Liyun grabbed her arm.

Her voice lowered, hinting at a warning, “Fei fei, I genuinely want to get along with you. I don’t know what Lin Changan has said about me, but since we’re destined to become mother and daughter-in-law, why should we act like enemies? After you marry Changan, you can’t expect to live in the factory’s dormitory forever.”

She was determined that Lin Changan would eventually take Xie Fei fei back to the Lin family.

Even if Lin Changan could apply for housing after marriage, it wouldn’t happen overnight, many people were waiting in line.

But whether they could return to live in the Lin family still depended on her, the stepmother, agreeing.

Miao Liyun smiled lightly. “If you’re willing, I could talk to Changan’s dad right now and let him come back to live at home.”

Xie Fei fei shook off her hand, her expression cold. “I don’t need it. Thanks for your concern, Auntie. But I must emphasize that Lin Changan is moving in, so naturally, he will live at my place. There’s no reason for me to go back with him.”

Miao Liyun’s expression changed slightly. “What did you say? Who’s moving in?”

“Lin Changan is moving in with me, are you listening? From now on, our children will take the Xie surname, not Lin.”

After saying that, Xie Fei fei walked out of the department store with Jiang Yu.

Her face was slightly annoyed. “So annoying, like a fly buzzing in my ear.”

“What does Lin Changan’s father do?”

Jiang Yu felt that since he was the only son, the matter of moving in wouldn’t just end like that.

Xie Fei fei paused, “He works at the housing management bureau, and his position isn’t low, I think he’s a deputy director.”

Jiang Yu reminded her, “Be careful, the move-in arrangement is Lin Changan’s unilateral decision, and his father will probably oppose it.”

Xie Fei fei shrugged. “Let him oppose it. My family doesn’t look for trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either.”

The two parted ways at the department store, and Jiang Yu rode her bike home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Duan Yuzhen and Yan Wenxuan standing in the center, announcing their wedding date.

The two looked close, with no trace of the previous distance, suggesting that Yan Wenxuan had successfully placated her.

Jiang Yu overheard them discussing the “20th” and suddenly realized, “Isn’t that the day Uncle Zeng is getting married too?”

The lively atmosphere suddenly froze, and Xu Lihua laughed.

“Such a good thing happening on the same day! Are we going to help the Duan family or Uncle Zeng?”

Duan Yuzhen frowned. “Uncle Zeng is getting married at his age? Who’s he marrying?”

Xu Lihua directed the conversation toward Jiang Yu. “I heard it’s Jiang Yu’s cousin. All of Jiang Yu’s sisters are quite capable, they all can marry into the city.”

This statement had a slightly sarcastic tone.

Jiang Yu nodded, agreeing with her. “Aunt Xu is right, but your words sound quite sour. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you had feelings for Uncle Zeng and are feeling jealous here.”

“Pfft! How could I like him? I’m not blind!” Xu Lihua immediately denied it.

However, her flustered demeanor only made her look more embarrassed.

Sun’ mother advised, “Lihua, Uncle Zeng isn’t as bad as you say, why do you have to say that about him?”

Xu Lihua coldly laughed. “He’s not bad? How could you possibly like him? He’s short and unremarkable, and his salary isn’t high. I’m not blind, how could I possibly like him?”
