“So, your aunt is trying her best to stop you because she’s afraid that you’ll ruin her plan?” Mrs. Tang’s eyes were as sharp as a torch and saw through the truth. After all, that woman had chosen for her daughter her second son, who was more skilled, reliable, and also the most good-looking.

Cheng Cheng nodded helplessly. “But I have my own bottom line too. I won’t let them cross it!”

Tang Susu’s face finally lit up a little.

“When they get over it, I’ll bring Ru to apologize to your brothers.” Cheng Cheng sounded remorseful. In fact, she had already made a choice.

She couldn’t just leave her aunt and her daughter.

She knew that when her aunt and Ru had been staring at the men of the Tang family since their first meeting. It was destined that the Tang family would not accept them.

From then on, it was likely that she could not continue her relationship with the Tang family, so she wanted to repay them for their kindness as soon as possible.

Mrs. Tang suddenly said, “I’ll put it bluntly. We’re not afraid of her schemes. We won’t blame you for them too, but we can’t guarantee that she won’t get what she wants eventually. When she sees other people who can help her, she’ll want to use you again. Today, it’s you, but who knows, it might be Xiaoyuan in the future.”

This was also what Tang Susu wanted to say. “You can take precautions to save yourself, but what about Xiaoyuan? Are you sure you can protect her well?”

Cheng Cheng took a deep breath.

The two of them spoke with little emotion, but the content was enough to make her think twice!

“If you still have fantasies about her, you might as well try to see what she will do…” Seeing Cheng Cheng’s struggle, Tang Susu winked at her, implying something.

Cheng Cheng felt as if the fog in front of her eyes had been lifted. She looked at her sincerely. “What should I do?”

Tang Susu lifted her chin slightly and pointed inside.

The middle-aged woman’s mournful and high-pitched crying had stopped at some point.

Tang Susu’s eyes and ears were clear now. She could hear the footsteps that were deliberately hushed, and she knew that someone was eavesdropping behind the door.

Cheng Cheng was very smart, but her feelings blinded her and she became indecisive. She quickly understood what Tang Susu meant.

Even though she hesitated, she had to admit that this was the best way.

If the result was not desirable, she would cut off all ties with them. She naturally hoped for the best result.

In fact, she did this because she felt she would definitely get an excellent result

Tang Susu and Mrs. Tang were waiting for her quietly.

It was so long that Tang Susu suspected she cared about her family and didn’t want to do it.

She sighed to herself and couldn’t help but make a decision. This time, she would completely cut off her relationship with Cheng Cheng. In the future, when they met, they would still be friends, but they wouldn’t be close.

However, Cheng Cheng would suddenly look up. “When are you guys planning to leave this place?”

“About half a month.” Tang Susu glanced at the door and mumbled.

“Xiaoyuan and I will go with you. It’s better for my aunt and the others to stay here.”

Cheng Cheng paused for a moment, as if she had hardened her heart. “I’ll find some supplies for them these few days and help them settle. They probably don’t want to follow us since it will be an arduous journey.”

The middle-aged woman behind the door panicked for a moment and clenched her fists.

After a while, Tang Susu and her daughter left. Cheng Cheng looked at them for a while before opening the door.

She frowned in surprise as if she didn’t know she was standing behind the door. “What are you doing here?”

‘She’s worried that I might overhear something!’ Wang Yuelan thought to herself vexingly. She really intended to leave her and her daughter behind secretly!

Cheng Cheng… She thought she was an honest person, but she was full of evil intentions.

However, Wang Yuclan’s expression did not change. She only became more polite. “I’ve seriously considered what you’ve said, and it’s true. They don’t like each other, so they won’t be happy together. I’m worried about nothing!”

Cheng Cheng’s eyes lit up. “You really understand?”

“I’m just worried that you and Ru won’t have a future. The men in the Tang family are all capable and know how to take care of people. They’re meticulous and considerate. You’ll definitely be happy if you marry them!”

Cheng Cheng thought that it was ridiculous. “They call me Aunt Cheng, so I’m treating them as my juniors. Don’t just randomly matchmake us.”

Moreover, she was being kind, calling Ru quiet and subservient. In reality, she was petty and was not worthy of the men from the Tang family at all.

Wang Yuelan laughed in embarrassment. “Don’t worry, I won’t do such a thing again.”

Cheng Cheng saw she had changed her mind so quickly. Although she didn’t know if it was sincere, she was relieved.

Perhaps there was still a way to save her aunt, as long as she discussed it with her…

However, when she returned to her room, she thought of the note that Tang Susu had stuffed into her hands. She hurriedly opened it and read it. Her face quickly darkened.

There were only a few words. “Be careful.”

Sometimes, she felt that Tang Susu could predict the future like a god. These words made her feel a little uneasy.

Not long after Tang Susu and the others left, Cheng Cheng hesitated for a while and called Xiaoyuan over. “Do you want to go to Sis Susu’s place to play for a few days?”

Xiaoyuan’s face lit up with joy, but it quickly dimmed. “Didn’t you say that you won’t keep in touch with them in the future…?”

Cheng Cheng could tell that her daughter was accommodating her and felt even more remorseful. “You’re just visiting them. They won’t kick you out.”

Xiaoyuan’s eyes rolled as she hung her head dejectedly. “It’s better not to. Aunty has been such an embarrassment. I’m too embarrassed to see them…”

Cheng Cheng knew her daughter was as shy as she was, but she didn’t dare to take her safety lightly. She was prepared to send her over directly.

This scene was seen by He Ru. She immediately went to her mother. “My cousin wants to send Xiaoyuan to the Tang family. I want to go too…”

“Who do you think you are? Do you really think that they will take you seriously?” Wang Yuelan laughed at herself and couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, “Those ungrateful wretches!”

When He Ru learned that Cheng Cheng wanted to leave them and leave with the Tang family, she was also shocked.

If it wasn’t for Tang Mingchu, she would feel that this place was great and there was nothing wrong with staying there. However, she didn’t want to ever not see him again…

“Mom, let’s quickly beg my cousin. Ask her to take us with her. Maybe she’ll soften her heart and not leave us behind.”

“She’s not on the same side as you anymore. What’s the point of begging? How much has she done for us?”

The more she spoke, the more determined Wang Yuelan had become with a certain plan in her heart.

She had to maximize the benefits before Cheng Cheng left. At the very least, she had to take back everything that she had given her before!

The sun was just right, and Tang Susu followed mother Tang all the way home. However, she found that the atmosphere in the house was not right.

“What’s wrong? Mingqi? Mingchu?”

The two of them sat on the sofa, and a man with his hands tied up and mouth sealed with tape was lying at their feet. At this moment, his face was red and seemed to be begging.

Tang Mingchu’s lips twitched. “I’m considering whether I should kill

someone..”
