340: Chapter 251 Love, a Word Too Heavy to Mention_2 340: Chapter 251 Love, a Word Too Heavy to Mention_2 Grandma, in high spirits and unusually having had a couple of drinks, spoke, and for some inexplicable reason, the conversation drifted towards Liang Qiaoqiao.
âQiaoqiao, youâre twenty-seven this year, and Ah Jun is thirty-one.
I think that once your father and Aunt Xuâs matter is settled, we should think about getting your affairs sorted as well!
Donât keep waiting, or else I may not even live to see your wedding or hold my great-grandson!â
Liang Qiaoqiao frowned, âGrandma, today is the lucky day of my dad and Aunt Xu, can we stop talking about meâ¦â
Chen Juncai awkwardly responded, pursing his lips to the side, âYeah, Grandma, Qiaoqiao and I, we are not in a hurry!â
Grandma sighed, thought about continuing but held back, as indeed, today was her son and Xu Meiâs special day, so it wouldnât do to distract from it.
She decided to drop the topic!
At the banquet, Nanxiâs cellphone rang.
Seeing the number, she paused slightly, then she excused herself, âI have to step outside and take this call, you all keep eating!â
After stepping out to the balcony, Nanxi answered the phone, âSister-in-law, itâs me, Qingtian!â
âMm, Qingtian!â Nanxi remembered hanging up on Lu Qingtian last time and felt somewhat embarrassed, âIâm sorry, Qingtian, that Iâ¦
last timeâ¦â
âI already know everything there is to know about the incident last time.
Sister-in-law, you donât need to apologize to me.
I never held it against you.
I knew it must have been due to my brotherâs wrongdoings that made you upset, and you didnât want to talk to him, which is why you didnât pick up my callâ¦
Donât worry, Iâm on your side now.
As for my brother, I can only express my disgust and contempt!â
ââ¦â Nanxi.
âSister-in-law, actually, the reason I called was to ask if youâve been taking some weight gain supplements because judging from a photo I saw, it seems youâve put on some weight⦠Why would you want to gain weight, to the extent that youâve discouraged my weight loss regimen?
Iâve been eating a lot recently and have put on two pounds alreadyâ¦â
ââ¦â Nanxi.
âSister-in-law, whatâs wrong?
Why arenât you saying anything?â Not getting a response from Nanxi, Lu Qingtian anxiously called out.
Nanxi took a deep breath, trying to compose herself, and said, âQingtian, whatâ¦
what photo are you referring to?â
âHuh?â Lu Qingtian was taken aback, âYou didnât know about it?
Itâs the photo thatâs been in the news recently.
My brother called and explained it to us, saying that the woman in the picture is you and that he took you on a business trip to C Cityâ¦â
ââ¦â This time, Nanxi genuinely didnât know what to say!
âSister-in-law, the reason I called is to tell you that you donât really need to gain weight.
I know my brother must be using various methods to fatten you up a bit, so you could bear him a plump son in the future.
Huh, men are selfish!
Donât they understand how crucial a womanâs figure and looks are?
Donât pay heed to his tactics, listen to me, and donât gain weight.
We willâ¦â
âQingtianâ¦â Nanxi interrupted Qingtianâs words, took a deep breath, and said, âI haveâ¦something to deal with right now.
Can we chat another time?â
Lu Qingtian blinked his eyes, suspicion setting in.
An issue?
What issue?
She must be dealing with something from his brother forbidding her to call!
However, she also did not want her brother to know that she was a traitor.
Lu Qingtian quickly replied, âIn that case, Sister-in-law, please handle your business, but remember my advice, donât gain weight.
Youâre my weight loss role model!
If you gain weight, what will I doâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â¦â
After hanging up on Lu Qingtianâs call, Nanxi took a long deep breath and stood there holding her phone, not knowing whether to feel heartbroken or angry!
Lu Yinchu actually told his family that the woman in the photoâ¦
was her?
He was lying!
He was lying!
But why?
Thinking back upon the last two months since she met Lu Yinchu, she felt even more confused, her heart was in utter turmoil.
Before she realized it, tears brimmed her eyes!
That night, Nanxi lay in bed alongside Liang Qiaoqiao.
Both were lost in their thoughts, staying silent.
When her uncle asked about Lu Yinchuâs scandal, she simply replied, âItâs fake!â
But did she truly know if it was fake?
Not really!
Maybe, it was indeed true!
âNanxi, are you asleep?â
Liang Qiaoqiao called out to her.
Her voice, piercing through the cool night, reached Nanxi.
Nanxi wiped away her tears and softly responded with a âMm.â
Liang Qiaoqiao noticed that something was wrong from Nanxiâs voice.
She got up, switched on the light, propped herself up, and looking at the tear-streaked face of Nanxi, was taken aback, âNanxi, what happened?â
Nanxi kept silent, she just rolled over and held onto Liang Qiaoqiao, sobbing inconsolably!
Liang Qiaoqiao was unsure of what had happened; all she could do was to hold Nanxi and console her.
She waited for Nanxi to stop crying before she asked, âWhat happened?
Why are you crying?â
Nanxi bit her lip, unsure of how to explain.
Liang Qiaoqiaoâs eyes flickered, and she asked again, âIs it because of those reports?
They are clearly fake, you shouldnât believe them!â
âIt might not be, they could be true!â
Nanxiâs eyes welled up with even more tears, her heart was in chaos.
She trusted Liang Qiaoqiao, and therefore, revealed everything about her previous conversation with Lu Qingtian.
Nanxi said, âCousin, I never thought that he would deceive me, and even drag me into deceiving his family.
You know why Weihuan and I broke up, but at this critical juncture, not only did he go on a business trip, he also stirred up such scandalâ¦
How could he do this?
How could he?â
ââ
The way Nanxi is crying just breaks my heart.
Lu, how could you bear to let her be like this!
