Chapter 68 : I’m Engaged

Jiang Yu never resisted them hysterically, as that would only make them want to suppress her even more until she was tamed.

Silently, she pushed the bag out and said, “Then take it.”

Wang Meili hurriedly grabbed her luggage, but the next moment, she heard Jiang Yu’s cold voice.

“If you take it now, don’t expect me to bring you anything after I get married.”

Wang Meili paused, her first reaction being anger.

She was used to treating Jiang Yu poorly, and in her moment of rage, she instinctively raised her hand to slap her.

“I gave you face, didn’t I?”

Jiang Yu didn’t dodge or evade, she just looked at her steadily, waiting for the slap to fall.

But just as Wang Meili was about to hit her, Jiang Yonghua intervened.

“Jiang Yu just got back, why are you making such a fuss? Let her deal with her own things.”

Jiang Yonghua rarely spoke at home, but when he did, his words were final and left no room for argument.

He calmly glanced at Jiang Yu and scolded her “We’re all family here, let’s not be so harsh. Even if you get married, we are still the parents who raised you! Are you saying that you won’t even recognize your own parents after you get married?”

Jiang Yu had always been soft-hearted and disliked confrontation. When Jiang Yonghua expressed his stance, she naturally chose to be agreeable.

She took out one pack of the three packs of peach cakes, poured out half of the White Rabbit milk candies, and took half of the peanuts as well.

“Dad, what are you talking about? No matter who I marry, you will always be my dad, and the same goes for Mom.”

Wang Meili’s expression softened a bit, and she said, somewhat angrily, “It’s because you spoke so harshly. I was just angry, I didn’t mean to fight with you.”

Jiang Yonghua felt uneasy because Jiang Yu hadn’t mentioned Jiang Hao at all, which showed that she had grown distant from her younger brother and no longer considered him family.

He only had Jiang Hao as a son and hoped for his support in the future.

If Jiang Yu didn’t help Jiang Hao, what hope did he have?

However, it wasn’t the right time to voice those concerns, he needed to tread carefully.

Jiang Yu brought all the remaining items into the house, pulled Jiang Xin in, and shared the treats with her.

This led to Old Lady Ye cursing, “Look at her, she doesn’t even act like a sister! She treats Jiang Hao this way now, and you still expect her to help him in the future? It’s a sin, truly! If I had known she was this malicious and selfish, I should have drowned her as a baby!”

Jiang Yonghua was extremely impatient, “Mom, enough already! Jiang Yu is like this because of that brat’s own doing!”

But he only dared to say a few words. After all, Jiang Hao was his own son, his only precious boy. What could he do?

Jiang Yu paid no attention to Old Lady Ye’s words.

She packed some peach cakes and milk candies and went out to find Wang Yunshan.

The two sisters hadn’t seen each other in a long time and held hands as they made their way to their secret hideout.

Wang Yunshan nibbled on the peach cake and exclaimed, “This is delicious! It’s the first time I’ve had something so good.”

“Then you should hide and eat it secretly, I’ll only give it to you,” Jiang Yu stuffed the remaining candies into Wang Yunshan’s pocket.

Wang Yunshan sighed deeply, “Jiang Yu, I’m engaged.”

Jiang Yu froze, staring blankly at her for a long time.

“When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me? Did your parents arrange it? Who is it? Which family? Where is he from?”

Wang Yunshan couldn’t help but laugh at the barrage of questions.

“Which question should I answer first?”

Jiang Yu kept a serious face “Start with the first one.”

Wang Yunshan replied, “When the Du family attacked you, I wanted to come to the city to see you, but he hit me with his bicycle on the way.”

Jiang Yu was surprised and asked, “You didn’t fall in love with him at first sight, did you?”

“Not really. I just think he’s a good fit. I was thinking that instead of waiting for my parents to sell me out, I might as well find a man myself.”

“What’s his name?” Jiang Yu asked.

Wang Yunshan smiled, “Lin Chenghui is from Yunjiao Village. He used to be a soldier, but later retired due to an injury and has been at home ever since. He is the only son of his parents, so their home is quite quiet.”

Jiang Yu suddenly sat up straight. To be honest, she had actually heard of this name before!

“Wang Yunshan! He is a fool, isn’t he? You are crazy, what kind of vision do you have to choose a fool!”

Wang Yunshan didn’t expect that she had heard of Lin Chenghui, and hurriedly explained “He was injured and broke his head before, and was stupid for a few years, but now he has recovered. I promise that he is a normal person now, otherwise I would never marry him. If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to see it next time.”

Jiang Yu frowned, “Are you sure? Have you been to the hospital for a checkup? What if your condition is intermittent?”

Wang Yunshan was not as worried as she was. With her current conditions, it was already good enough for her to find Lin Chenghui.

Even though Lin Chenghui was stupid for a few years, he held a high position in the army and had accumulated quite a fortune.

His parents are also open-minded people. After getting to know them, Wang Yunshan feels that they are not bad.

“Don’t worry, I chose the man myself, even if he doesn’t live well in the future, I will accept him…”

“Why do you want to admit it? If you’re not living well, come to me and divorce him!” Jiang Yu knocked her head.

Wang Yunshan smiled so hard that she couldn’t stop and hugged her.

“Jiang Yu, I like you so much.”

Jiang Yu put away his smile and felt bitter in his heart.

A big part of the reason why she and Wang Yunshan became good friends is that they had similar families and they just kept each other warm.

They have the same feelings for each other and hope that the other person lives a good life.

“Yunshan, I’m not kidding you. If you’re unhappy, come find me.”

“Yes, I know. When I get married, the first thing I will do is to transfer my household registration. I want to change my name! I am no longer Wang Zhaodi, I am Wang Yunshan!”

Jiang Yu confirmed again and again, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was indeed not unhappy.

“Let’s not talk about me. Don’t you have a boyfriend too? Tell me about him too. When are you going to get married?”

Jiang Yu said “He said he would come to propose marriage during the National Day holiday.”

Wang Yunshan said, “Then I’ll be married before you. My wedding is at the end of the month, on the 28th, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Jiang Yu didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, and felt a little disappointed.

Getting married means that they go their separate ways and start a new life.

“It’s only been a few days, and I haven’t bought you a gift yet.”

Wang Yunshan smiled and said, “I will be very happy if you can come and accompany me on my wedding day.”

“No, that won’t work. You must have some makeup accessories. I’ll go to the department store and buy them for you.”

Wang Yunshan didn’t want to force it, so she asked doubtfully, “Do you have money?”

“Yes, last time the Du family incident happened, my family gave me compensation, and my aunt also gave me money, which I’m still saving.”

Jiang Yu patted his pockets, looking generous.
