Chapter 35: So It Was for Her

Xiao Qian was fuming as she entered the courtyard, only to be met with her mother's deafening wails.

Before Xiao Qian had a chance to steady herself, her mother lunged at her and enveloped her in a tight bear hug, sobbing through her snotty tears so loudly that it hurt Xiao Qian's ears.

"Ni Jianren has a contagious disease, the wedding is off... Wuu wuu, my poor daughter, don't worry, Mom will find you someone better, just don't get upset, you mustn't get upset!"

Xiao Qian felt that she wasn't upset before, but her mother's exaggerated manner had almost triggered her.

"Has the bitch arrived?"

"Wuu wuu!" Jia Xiufang wailed, her crying making Xiao Qian's ears hurt. Xiao Qian pushed her away slightly and looked at Chen Lin, who was sitting on a chair in silence, smoking.

This outrageous old man was upset that if Ni Jianren didn't come over, he would be receiving the betrothal gifts next week, and their sudden act would mean a significant loss of income.
