Chapter 526 He's been very good to me
Lin Qingping stared blankly, and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground.
"Sister!" The second sister grabbed her hand anxiously, and then tried to rush out, but Lin Qingping pulled her back.
Lin Qingping gently shook her head at her.
The voices outside continued to speak.
“This one looks good too, and it fits well, let’s buy them both!” Liu Fen said boastfully.
"Auntie, these clothes are so expensive in this big department store!"
"I already told you Auntie will buy it for you! Why do you keep saying it's expensive?" Liu Fen said. "Besides, you're calling me Auntie now, but you'll be calling me Mother later!"
"Auntie!" Lanxiang's voice was sweet and charming.
Lin Qingping then understood what was going on.
Is this the thing everyone's been keeping from her?
Zhiyuan saw Lanxiang at Gu Youlian's house, so he came back in a huff.
Gu Youlian learned the true purpose of the people her mother brought, so she flew into a rage and kicked them out of the house.
The second sister followed Gu Juncheng and witnessed Lanxiang and the Gu family's true intentions. Upon returning, she began to treat Gu Juncheng with sarcasm and ambiguity...
The thing that everyone knows, but everyone keeps from her, is this.
She understood everyone's choice; she was ill, and no one wanted to upset her, so they tacitly chose to keep it a secret.
However, everyone overlooked one thing: if one day she suddenly becomes unwell, she has to make arrangements in advance. How can she be caught off guard?
She suddenly realized something with an overwhelming sense of urgency: after she left, Gu Juncheng would remarry, and another woman would move into the house she had painstakingly decorated. Whether this woman would treat Zhiyuan and Zhangzhu well was unknown. Moreover, if Zhiyuan and Zhangzhu were truly wronged, she would no longer know, nor would she be able to stand up for them anymore…
Thinking of this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, recalling those rhyming sayings from her past life: other women will sleep with your husband, beat your children, and spend your money...
She felt a dull pain in her heart and her head began to spin. If she hadn't been holding onto her second sister's hand tightly, she wouldn't have been able to stand up.
The people outside were still talking.
"Auntie, won't Chengzi be unhappy if I spend so much money? It's better for a young lady to be thrifty."
"Impossible!" Liu Fen immediately said, "You have no idea how much money my daughter-in-law spends. Chengzi won't say anything! He's the kind of person who spoils his wife the most!"
"Well, I'm not yet..." Lanxiang said shyly.
"That was bound to happen sooner or later." Liu Fen said softly, "You know, Chengzi has been very busy lately, taking care of the patient and looking after the two children at home. You should be more considerate of him. Chengzi is the most grateful person. Last time, wasn't he quite lenient?"
"Hmm!" Lanxiang's "Hmm" was full of joy and confidence, but her voice weakened as she spoke. "I'm not worried about Brother Chengzi. He's very good to me. But... I'm afraid the child doesn't like me. Last time, that Zhiyuan threw a huge tantrum, slammed the door and left. He's still just a child and he has such a temper. I'm afraid I won't be able to control him in the future."
When Lin Qingping heard the words "He's very good to me," her mind went blank and her vision blurred.
"Sister?" The second sister was very worried about her. She wanted to go out and fight, but she was afraid that her older sister couldn't hold on, so she supported Lin Qingping with all her might.
Lin Qingping stood up with great effort, waved her hand to indicate that she was alright, and also held her second sister's hand tightly to prevent her from leaving. She wanted to hear how they were going to deal with her two children!
Liu Fen said dismissively, “Children are easy to coax! The little one is very young, what can a one-year-old remember? You bring her to your side, treat her well, coax her to call you ‘Mom,’ and from then on, she will only remember you as her mother. As for the older one, he’s not her biological child, so he’s even easier to coax. Give him a little something good, and he’ll be bought off. My daughter-in-law only cooked him two good meals, and he started calling her ‘Mom.’”
Okay...okay...okay...
Lin Qingping thought to herself, "Good!"
They actually wanted Zhangzhu to recognize someone else as her mother, and they actually thought that she had been bribed with just two meals after she had been so sincere to Zhiyuan.
Lanxiang was delighted to hear Liu Fen's words, "I'm really good at cooking! Everyone in our village praises my cooking!"
"That's settled then. Anyway, you can't hit a smiling face. As long as you're sincere to someone, they'll feel it. Isn't there a saying that you get what you give? If you're good to the child, the child will naturally remember you!" Liu Fen instructed her, "You try on the clothes first, I'm going to find a restroom."
Lanxiang laughed, "Auntie, this place isn't called a latrine."
"It's all the same! I'll find someone to ask where to use the restroom." Liu Fen said, and then left.
Lanxiang wanted to try on clothes, and when she saw the words "fitting room," she walked towards Lin Qingping.
The waiter quickly stopped her and asked her to wait a moment, as there were people inside.
Lanxiang then waited outside.
The situation suddenly turned into a standoff. Lin Qingping could run into her face-to-face if she went out, but Lin Qingping couldn't stay inside forever.
"Let's go out." Lin Qingping didn't want to try on the clothes at all. Since they were going to meet anyway, she might as well go out and talk about it. Besides, this Lanxiang probably didn't know her or her second sister, right?
The second sister had been wanting to go out for a while. As soon as she opened the door, she and Lin Qingping bumped into Lanxiang.
When Lanxiang saw the two of them, her eyes widened and her pupils dilated, her eyes fixed on Lin Qingping.
Lin Qingping then realized that Lanxiang actually knew her. Had she secretly peeked at Gu Youlian's house when they were at her home? Or had she seen her photo? Or was her second sister lying? Had she actually met with her in-laws and Lanxiang while she was following Gu Juncheng?
However, none of this matters anymore.
She was angry at her current physical condition; she had to breathe while cursing, and she couldn't hit anyone. She was even swaying from side to side just standing there.
"Get out of the way," the second sister said to Lanxiang, who was blocking her and her older sister's path.
Lanxiang was a little weak and took a few steps back, but immediately said, "Why don't you move over here when it's so wide?"
The second sister scoffed, "We're upright and just, so we prefer to take the straight path, unlike some people who like to take crooked and unorthodox ways!"
"You..." Lanxiang's face flushed red with anger, "Who are you talking about?"
"A good dog doesn't block the way, why are you calling it a bad dog!" the second sister said coldly.
"Who? Who are you calling a bad dog?" Lanxiang said angrily, her clothes draped over her shoulders.
"Whoever speaks up, that's who we'll talk to!" The second sister helped Lin Qingping up and prepared to leave, not wanting to get entangled with this woman, afraid that her older sister wouldn't be able to stand the insult.
Unexpectedly, Lanxiang tugged at the new dress on her shoulder and exclaimed, "Ouch, ouch! Waiter, come quick and help me see what's caught in my hair?"
Before the shop assistant could even show her, she pulled the dress off herself and laughed, "Sorry, it's okay. I just have too much hair. It keeps getting caught here and there. It's so annoying."
