After saying that, regardless of the livid faces of everyone in the room, she took Chen Junsheng and turned to leave.
At this moment, the grand-aunt had no appetite for the meal. She slapped her chopsticks on the table, gave a cold laugh, and said, "That Li Chuchu from your family is really opinionated. I think we might as well call off this engagement. I can't control her. Otherwise, who knows how she'll scold me behind my back later."
When the old lady Li heard her cousin getting angry, she quickly comforted her, "Cousin, cousin, don't be angry. That little brat has been temporarily blinded. I'll talk to her later."
As she said that, she glared at Li Jianmin.
"You guys are really something. Why didn't you say a single word just now? Jianmin, you're her real father after all!"
Li Jianmin remained completely silent.
And Uncle Li looked dull.
It seemed that neither of them could be counted on.
The old lady Li stamped her foot in anger. "Li Jianmin! It's all because of that job you gave her! Once a girl has a job, she doesn't know how to support the family. Now her wings are hardened, and she doesn't listen to anything. What's the use of raising such a daughter? Your brain! You didn't even discuss this with me back then!"
She was extremely disappointed.
Li Jianmin looked gloomy. "She came to ask for it herself."
"Just because she asked, you gave it to her? You're her father. Shouldn't you have the final say?"
The old lady Li was furious. After thinking for a long time, a cruel look flashed in her eyes. "No, I'll go to the factory tomorrow! I'll ask her supervisor to fire her."
As soon as she said this,
the cousin immediately perked up. She stopped showing her ugly face and quickly echoed, "Yes, that's exactly what you should do. A woman should stay at home and take care of her husband and children. What's the use of having a job? It'll just make her wild."
"My daughter has never shown herself in public after getting married. She's given birth to her fourth child this year! Three of them are sons, and her in - laws are extremely happy. Look at Wu Li. She doesn't have a job either, but she manages the family well."
She boasted about her daughter proudly.
Having three sons in a row made her feel proud.
The old lady Li was even more determined after hearing this.
Li Chuchu's current job was a disaster. Only by finding a way to make her quit could she be willing to marry into the Qian family.
"Jianmin, I'll go to your factory with you tomorrow."
Li Jianmin frowned slightly.
Although he felt it wasn't a good idea, looking at his mother's expression, he finally didn't say much.
...
After Li Chuchu and Chen Junsheng left the house, they both felt hungry. So they randomly found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes to fill their stomachs.
Chen Junsheng picked up a chopstick of sour and spicy shredded potatoes and put it into his bowl. He said with lingering fear, "Li Chuchu, your family members are really something! I've never seen such people who sell their daughters. When I was sitting there, I felt like the abacus beads were about to hit my face. I was really afraid that the old woman would also try to scheme against me. Do you think your grandma will really go to the factory to make trouble tomorrow?"
He originally thought his own life was already difficult enough, but he didn't expect Li Chuchu's life to be even more difficult.
Chen Junsheng took a bite of a chicken leg to calm his nerves.
Li Chuchu sighed. "I don't know, but judging from their personalities, they might really do it. But what I'm worried about is that this might put your father in a difficult situation."
It was impossible to drive an old person away or beat her.
If she were to lie down at the entrance of the Lotus Factory and make a scene, even the police would be helpless.
Chen Junsheng patted his chest. "Don't worry. I'll go back and tell my father first. I'll give him a heads - up. He thinks more comprehensively than we do and should be able to figure out a way."
Li Chuchu sighed. Although it felt good to retort, she was afraid that those people would act shamelessly and use brute force.
...
Shen Yanshan stood not far away, watching Li Chuchu laughing and chatting with Chen Junsheng.
There was a hint of possessiveness in his eyes.
He wanted Li Chuchu to show such an expression only to him.
Every word they said clearly reached his ears.
Shen Yanshan lowered his eyes slightly. A gloomy look covered his beautiful and delicate eyebrows, making him look completely different from when he was in front of Li Chuchu.
A cold smile played on his lips.
He really underestimated the Li family. They were so bold as to try to steal his woman.
In an instant, Shen Yanshan had already come up with countless ways to deal with them.
Li Chuchu looked in his direction. Shen Yanshan immediately concealed the look on his face and returned to his usual calm and composed self. He quickly walked towards them.
When Li Chuchu saw Shen Yanshan, she was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Shen Yanshan slightly hooked his lips and tucked the hair beside her ear behind it. "It's okay. I just happened to pass by. Have you finished eating?"
Li Chuchu looked at the table full of dishes that had hardly been touched. "... It seems not. Do you want to join us?"
Shen Yanshan nodded and naturally sat down beside Li Chuchu.
Chen Junsheng stared at Shen Yanshan in disbelief. He turned to look at Li Chuchu. "This... Is this the one you..."
Li Chuchu nodded. "This is my husband, Shen Yanshan."
Chen Junsheng was stunned.
No way, Li Chuchu had married such a handsome guy!
Well, it made sense.
Li Chuchu herself was very good - looking.
They were really a good match.
He approved of this couple!
Chen Junsheng's look at Shen Yanshan was somewhat like that of a family member examining a son - in - law.
Hearing the word "husband", Shen Yanshan's eyes flashed. He seemed to be pleased. Even his hostility towards Chen Junsheng decreased a little. He said calmly and elegantly, "Hello, I'm Li Chuchu's husband. I hope I'm not disturbing your meal."
Chen Junsheng came to his senses like someone waking up from a dream. "Oh, no, no. There might not be enough food. I'll order two more dishes." He called the waiter and added a spicy boiled sliced meat and a stir - fried eggs with green peppers.
At the dinner table,
Shen Yanshan kept picking up food for Li Chuchu.
Chen Junsheng winked at Li Chuchu: Should you tell him about your family's matter?
Li Chuchu hesitated for a moment but still didn't say anything.
Forget it. It's useless to tell him, so I won't.
Shen Yanshan saw their eye contact but still calmly picked up food for Li Chuchu. "Eat more. I'll be busy this afternoon. I'll take you home later."
Li Chuchu nodded.
During the meal, Shen Yanshan got up and went to the restroom.
Chen Junsheng called Li Chuchu over and said a few words. "Don't worry too much about the factory. My father will definitely stand on your side."
Li Chuchu knew that Chen Junsheng was just comforting her. She smiled at him. "Okay, thank you." Although she said so, recently Factory Director Chen had been busy reporting to the superior leaders and might not have the time to deal with this matter.
Chen Junsheng asked to pay the bill, but the waiter came over and said that Shen Yanshan had already paid.
Chen Junsheng looked at Li Chuchu with a helpless expression. "It's really hard to treat you to a meal."
Li Chuchu laughed. "Then we'll have a chance to eat together later."
Shen Yanshan said expressionlessly: No more chance.
