The cousin's wife was straightforward. After hearing a few words from Mrs. Lu just now, she couldn't help but come directly to the person involved to ask.
Hearing this, the several female relatives around were extremely shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Was Lu Yan finally going to divorce Ning Anmiao?
For a moment, the expressions on their faces varied greatly, clearly showing a strong reaction to this explosive news.
Looking at the cousin's wife who was being so assertive in front of him, Lu Yan's eyes grew colder and colder, an indescribable chill in them.
He detested these people discussing his family affairs very much.
If he were Lu Yan, he could have simply left with a cold face and a flick of his sleeve; but now, he was Ning Anmiao.
"Cousin's wife, you misheard."
His voice was cold as he looked at these people who were watching the show, trying hard to calm his tone, but it still sounded extremely frigid: "Lu Yan and I have a very good relationship. We're not at the point of divorce yet."
"Why are you still being so stubborn?" The cousin's wife frowned and looked at Ning Anmiao defiantly, raising her voice a bit: "Just now, Lu Yan's mother said that Lu Yan is about to divorce you."
"I heard that he's going to be engaged to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. It's already on the agenda!"
Hearing this, Lu Yan snorted.
He had never heard of such a big thing as his engagement to the Jiang family!
Since the cousin's wife gave birth to a child for Lu Yan's cousin, her voice had become very loud. Many people heard what she said and turned their heads to watch the commotion.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just adults going their separate ways amicably!"
Watching as "Ning Anmiao"'s eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter, the second aunt beside her was also watching her with interest, as if waiting to see her make a fool of herself: "Miaomiao, the facts are right in front of you. Don't be so stubborn."
"Listen to your second aunt. If you're really worried, you might as well find a lawyer in advance and see if you can get some of the Lu family's property during the divorce. That's the real thing."
It sounded like she was doing her a favor, but every word was actually mocking Ning Anmiao.
Lu Yan was going to divorce you.
"Thank you for your advice, second aunt, but I don't accept it." When Lu Yan spoke, his eyes were fixed firmly on the people around him, sharp as blades, completely different from his usual docile self.
"I'm still the young mistress of the Lu family. I hope everyone knows their place and doesn't lower themselves."
Lu Yan's voice was cold, and a cold aura emanated from his body. He stated his identity in his words, trying to suppress everyone with it.
But the fact proved that he was wrong.
None of the people around cared about her anger. Some of them even showed smiles on their faces and whispered among themselves.
"She's angry. She's really angry again."
"Oh, she really thinks she's the young mistress of the Lu family. It's so funny."
"Sure enough, she's never seen the world..."
"..."
These whispers all went into Lu Yan's ears without a single word missing.
"An ordinary education and an ordinary family background. She should have given up her position long ago."
The cousin's wife watched as "Ning Anmiao"'s face grew more and more ugly and couldn't help but mutter softly.
This sentence was like a lit fuse. Lu Yan's pupils immediately darkened, and deep emotions welled up in his eyes.
"Have you said enough?"
He lost his last bit of reason. Looking at these people with a cold voice, his lips slowly uttered a sentence: "You're all family members of the Lu family, but the things you say on a daily basis are so vulgar."
"I'm really ashamed that the Lu family took a fancy to people like you."
After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at these people anymore. Facing their looks that turned from white to red in anger, he turned around and headed for the restroom.
He wanted to wash his face and calm down.
That wasn't a normal social conversation just now. It was clearly a small-scale criticism meeting!
It suddenly occurred to him that Miao Miao had never received the respect she deserved in the Lu family!
He suddenly felt it was very ridiculous.
In the past, he had never paid attention to what Miao Miao was doing in such situations. He just assumed that she was like other women, chatting harmoniously with her sisters-in-law.
Now he finally understood what it meant to be the target of public criticism.
Watching the figure of "Ning Anmiao" rushing into the restroom, Jiang Qiwei, who was sitting at the other end, curled her lips and slowly got up, following her.
The plan was about to start.
---
Lu Yan walked into the restroom. Not caring about the makeup that Miao Miao had specially put on for him this morning, he lowered his head and splashed some water on his face and forehead.
When he looked up, part of the makeup on his face was already smeared.
Looking at the slightly haggard face and the slightly messy hair in the mirror, there was a hint of irony in his eyes.
Lu Yan, what on earth have you been doing all these years?
He fell into deep self - blame and guilt, and gradually understood what kind of suffering Miao Miao had been going through all these years.
Because she had suffered so much, she had finally decided to divorce so resolutely.
Thinking about it this way, his stubborn attempt to keep her that day seemed like a complete joke.
For some reason, he remembered the hint of irony that flashed in Miao Miao's eyes at that time. He couldn't help but curl his lips and mock himself twice, feeling that he was extremely stupid.
Without experiencing others' hardships, what right did he have to persuade her not to leave him?
Just then.
"Miaomiao, what a coincidence."
A familiar voice made Lu Yan suddenly narrow his eyes. The action of washing his hands also stopped, leaving only the sound of water flowing from the faucet.
The corridor of the restroom was very quiet.
He closed his eyes. After adjusting his emotions, he casually turned off the water and turned around to look at Jiang Qiwei.
"It's not a coincidence."
His voice was cold. He didn't want to have too much conversation with Jiang Qiwei.
"Miaomiao, I'm sorry."
Before Lu Yan could turn away, Jiang Qiwei took the initiative to apologize to her first, with a particularly sincere tone: "I was too impulsive that day in the bar."
Lu Yan stopped in his tracks and waited for her to continue.
Seeing that she was willing to listen, Jiang Qiwei smiled slightly and took a few steps forward: "You were right that day. I reflected on myself after I got back. It was really wrong of me to interfere in someone else's marriage."
"Although Aunt Lu has been trying to match me and Lu Yan, I've thought it through now. Competing for a married man is not a wise move."
She spoke in an orderly manner, without showing any flaws: "Moreover, Lu Yan and I don't have any emotional foundation. Forcing a relationship won't work."
Lu Yan looked at her expressionlessly, but he had an idea in his mind.
If Jiang Qiwei could take the initiative to reject his mother, maybe his mother would give up the idea of breaking him and Miao Miao up.
"So?"
His tone was still cold, showing that he wasn't interested in what she was saying: "What exactly do you want to say? Be more straightforward."
He wasn't a woman and didn't want to beat around the bush with Jiang Qiwei.
"I'd like to have a drink with you alone. Maybe you can help me figure out how to reject Aunt Lu. This way, your marriage with Lu Yan can also be saved. How about it?"
Lu Yan didn't say a word, which was regarded as a default.
Her words were exactly what he wanted.
Seeing that "Ning Anmiao" had taken the bait, Jiang Qiwei's smile grew wider. She walked over and took her hand.
"Great. Let's go to a room and talk."
