A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

When the waiter made that noise, everyone realized that he was a customer with connections, which explained why he wasn't afraid of offending customers.

But that makes it even more infuriating.

Seeing that he had angered the crowd, the manager yelled at the waiter, who was probably being criticized by so many people for the first time. He was scared and reluctantly apologized to Zhuang Qingxiang under the urging of the crowd.

Shang Jiang was still not satisfied and wanted to argue, but Zhuang Qingxiang stopped him.

"It scared the child," she said.

Shang Jiang then remembered that there were three children. He looked back and saw that the older girl was alright, but the two boys looked so upset that they looked like they were about to shed tears.

Shang Jiang then stopped pressing the waiter.

Knowing he was no good, the waiter followed the manager and never came back. Luckily, there were other waiters.

Everyone dispersed, and Shang Jiang saw that Zhuang Qingxiang had only ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles, so he asked Zhuang Qingxiang to bring her three children to his table to eat together.

"There are only two of us, but we ordered a lot of food."

Zhuang Qingxiang glanced at the girl, Yunyun, and immediately saw the unwelcome look in her eyes. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, children can't eat that much. Noodles are easier to digest."

Shang Jiang invited her repeatedly, but Zhuang Qingxiang declined each time. In the end, Shang Jiang had no choice but to return to his own table.

"Brother Shang, who is that?" Wang Yunyun couldn't help but inquire. "I don't remember Brother Shang knowing anyone like that... but she's quite pretty."

"She's my friend's wife, my sister-in-law," Shang explained. "She came to visit my parents these past few days."

Wang Yunyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her tense face: "Then why don't you let your sister-in-law come and eat with us?"

"Forget it, if she doesn't want to, we'll eat it ourselves."

After finishing speaking, he checked the time and urged, "Eat quickly, I have things to do after you finish."

"What's wrong?" Wang Yunyun asked. "Is there anything I can help with?"

"Nothing much, Tan Ruixue said she has something important to discuss with me, so I have to go see her. By the way, do you know what your cousin wants to talk to me about?" Shang Jiang asked.

Wang Yunyun's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked troubled: "This...it's probably because of me again, right? Brother Shang, how about I go with you after dinner? If my cousin is angry with me, I'll explain it to her properly, so you won't be put in a difficult position."

Shang Jiang's expression darkened: "Did she misunderstand you again? I don't think it's anything else... Never mind, let's go together after we finish eating."

"Okay, let's eat quickly! Brother Shang, try this, isn't it delicious?" Wang Yunyun immediately and enthusiastically helped Shang Jiang pick out some food.

Having listened to and watched the entire process, Zhuang Qingxiang secretly shook her head.

This "Yunyun girl" is probably up to something again.

Zhuang Qingxiang didn't say much. After finishing her meal, she told Shang Jiang and then took the three children back to the guesthouse.

The children are used to taking a nap after lunch. If she gets home late and both of the younger ones fall asleep on the way, she won't be able to carry them both at the same time.

Sure enough, when we got back to the guesthouse, both little ones were nodding their heads.

I hurried back to my room, only to find Lu Congyue there.

"Huh? Why are you back? Did you pick them up?" she asked as she carried the child to bed.

Lu Congyue also came over to help, saying, "I've picked them all up and settled them in the guesthouse. Everyone was too tired from the journey and needed to rest, so I came back."

The two chatted while taking care of the children, and soon all three children were asleep on the bed.

Zhuang Qingxiang then brought up the matter of meeting Shang Jiang today, and mentioned the "Miss Yunyun" again, asking Lu Congyue if he knew her.

"I don't know him." Lu Congyue shook his head. "He must have met him in recent years, right? I stayed here for five or six years before leaving. Back then, Shang Jiang was like me, not going on blind dates and not having any girls around me."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Actually, it's not quite the same for me. I refused, but he just didn't have that in mind."

Zhuang Qingxiang pursed her lips: "Judging from how he interacts with Miss Yunyun, he doesn't seem to be clueless. He's very generous to her. The two of them ordered four main dishes: braised pork, fried ribbonfish, beef stew with potatoes, and twice-cooked pork. This meal is not cheap."

Lu Congyue frowned upon hearing this.

"This girl won't do! She's not the type to settle down!" he said definitively.

Even if Shang Jiang is interested in the girl and is willing to spend so much money to treat her to a meal, the girl shouldn't agree.

Zhuang Qingxiang glared at him: "They're both willing to give and receive, why do you care so much? Besides, maybe Uncle Shang and Aunt Ren were the ones who introduced them. Their whole family is satisfied, so what's there to be dissatisfied about?"

Lu Congyue thought about it and realized that he was indeed meddling in other people's business.

But then I thought about it again and it still felt a bit off.

According to Zhuang Qingxiang, the girl who couldn't finish the food had to take it with her.

What sensible and thrifty girl would take food and money without giving anything in return?

No, I still need to talk to Shang Jiang later, or ask Uncle Shang indirectly to find out what's going on with that girl.

Lu Congyue had made up his mind, but after his colleagues arrived, the exchange work officially began. He had to take his colleagues to visit and exchange with other units every day, keeping him so busy that he was rarely seen.

This busy period lasted for three days. The work has temporarily come to an end, and everyone can take a day off to stroll around the city and buy souvenirs for their families.

Lu Congyue had planned to rest at the guesthouse for a day, but unexpectedly, Shang Jiang came to him in the morning and asked if he was free to attend Shang Hua's wedding.

Lu Congyue: "A wedding banquet?"

Zhuang Qingxiang: "What? Sister Shang is getting married? So soon?"

Shang Jiang gave him a look of utter disgust: "You're absolutely right, it's ridiculously fast!"

"With whom?" Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang asked the same question at the same time.

尚将撇撇嘴：「还能跟谁？彭万洲那个臭小子！趁虚而入，跟我姐生米煮成熟饭了都，要不是被我妈抓个正着，他还想耍赖不娶我姐呢！我给他痛揍了一顿，我姐竟然还骂我……嘁，我看我姐真是疯了！」

The amount of information was so enormous that both Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang were completely bewildered.

Peng Wanzhou took advantage of the situation, forced himself on her, was caught red-handed by Ren Zhen, and then tried to cheat...

Every single point feels explosive!

Lu Congyue coughed lightly: "When is the wedding?"

"Tomorrow! My parents said the sooner the better, so that..." Shang Jiang couldn't continue.

My mother's exact words were, "To avoid someone getting killed, it would make everyone look bad."

He really couldn't understand his older sister. How could she so casually sleep with a man five years younger than her? Even if they had both been married before and weren't virgins... she still couldn't be so casual, could she?

Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, "We'll definitely go tomorrow!"

"Fine, let's just go to my house. Both of you are getting married for the second time. My parents said not to have a big celebration, just have a meal at home as a family. You two haven't gone back yet, so I invited you to come along. You don't need to buy anything. Peng Wanzhou doesn't deserve it!" Shang Jiang explained angrily.
