Shu Yan smiled. âWhat else could it be? Of course itâs the evening gown youâre going to wear for your engagement!â
Hearing this, Jing Xinlei couldnât help but turn her head to look out of the window. The snow outside was still falling.
Their engagement party was scheduled to be held three days after the first snow of the year.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
âThis one looks good.â
She pointed at a moon-white one-shouldered evening gown.
âThen this one!â
Shu Yan happily made a decision for her!
...
The day before the engagement.
A group of strangers came to the villa. Jing Xinlei didnât know them.
A middle-aged couple and a young man and woman.
âBig Brother and sister-in-law, youâre here.â
Seeing the four people who came in, Shu Yan greeted them with a smile.
âCongratulations! Congratulations!âThe man, Zhong Zhengdong, was Zhong Shenghaoâs uncle.
Compared to Zhong Zhengdong, the woman was not as warm and affectionate. Instead, she walked in, looked around the living room, and sat down on the sofa.
Shu Yan glanced at her unhappily. If it were not for her husband, she would not have bothered to call her sister-in-law!
âThis is Hao Chengâs fiancée?âZhao Yafang glanced at Jing xinlei who was standing at the side, her eyes full of contempt.
Shu Yan also shot her a look of disdain, and then she smiled. âYes, itâs xinlei, a very sensible woman --â
âTSK, she didnât grow very well!â
Before Shu Yan could finish her words, she heard that contemptuous tone.
She glanced at her and muttered to herself unhappily, as if she was mumbling something. Then, her face was full of smiles. Naturally, it was a fake smile, âHehe! Of course, youâre not as good-looking as sister-in-law. Youâre the number one beauty of our Zhong family. Youâre already middle-aged, and youâre almost as beautiful as an old demon!â
âShu Yan, what do you mean by that! ?â
After Zhao Yafang heard this, she suddenly became furious!
Shu Yan pretended to be very surprised, but she was indifferent, âIâm sorry, I was complimenting you. Uh, maybe I donât read much, so I didnât use the right words? I mean, sister-in-law, youâre too beautiful, as beautiful as that Vixen on TV... uh, sorry, I used the wrong words again. I mean, youâre as beautiful as --â
âShu Yan, thatâs Enough!âZhao ya Fangâs face turned red with anger!
Shu Yan no longer put on an act. She cast a sidelong glance at her with disdain.
Who asked her to insult her daughter-in-law as soon as she came in, wanting to compete with her in eloquence? She couldnât scold her to death!
Looking at the two sisters-in-law who quarreled the moment they met, Zhong Zhengnan and Zhong Zhengdong pulled their respective wives.
âYanyan!â
âYa Fang, can you speak less!â
âWhatâs wrong with me? I came all the way here to congratulate you. Look at her attitude!âZhao Yafang glared at Shu Yan with anger.
Shu Yan was not willing to be outdone and glared at her!
âWho asked you to be so mean and insult my xinlei!â
âAm I wrong? Sheâs not good to begin with. Not only that, Iâve also investigated. Sheâs been in prison before!â
With these words, the living room was instantly silent.
Especially Jing xinlei, her face instantly turned pale.
No matter how she changed, this unbearable past would always be used as a stain to humiliate herself.
Shu Yan was furious!
Having been here for more than two months, this was the first time Jing Xinlei had seen her truly let go of her anger!
âSo what if sheâs been in prison! ? Before you married into the Zhong family, you were still a Miss Wu!â
âWhat did you say! ?â
âYanyan, how can you say such things to your sister-in-law! ?âZhong Zhengnan quickly pulled his wife over.
