Chapter 527 The Obedient Young Lady's Cold-Faced Bodyguard 22
The next day, the Jian family received another uninvited guest.
Aunt Wen has arrived.
She came with the intention of discussing marriage arrangements.
She must have given prior notice before coming over; at the very least, Huang Manli was at home, which must have been at Xie's father's request.
Huang Manli's attitude was somewhat strange.
There was a hint of reluctance mixed with enthusiasm.
Although Aunt Wen found it a bit strange, she didn't take it to heart; discussing the wedding arrangements was the more important thing.
She was very satisfied with Xie Qingyu as her daughter-in-law. She was not scheming, sensible and filial, and very suitable for her son.
Jian Linchuan is headstrong and not suited to a domineering personality; Xie Qingyu would be a better fit.
Or rather, countless families would consider such a daughter-in-law to be wonderful.
It is especially suitable for business marriages.
"I'm here today mainly to discuss the wedding arrangements. The two of them have been engaged since childhood, so we don't need the engagement ceremony. Let's see when to set the wedding date, and I'll have someone make a custom-made wedding dress for Qingyu. We also need to see where the wedding venue would be best, which mainly depends on what the young people like," Aunt Wen said directly to Huang Manli.
Xie Qingyu sat beside her without saying a word.
Huang Manli was also reluctant to respond, as she had other ideas in mind and wasn't very interested in Xie Qingyu and Jian Linchuan's marriage.
"Aunt Wen, you may not be aware of this matter yet. Jian Linchuan and I will discuss it further. There's no need to discuss it now." Xie Qingyu maintained a facade of civility and did not directly tell Aunt Wen about the annulment of the engagement.
Regardless of Aunt Wen's intentions in being kind to Xie Qingyu, she has indeed largely fulfilled Xie Qingyu's fantasies about her mother in the past.
“This is something you young people need to discuss, but since you lack experience, we can help you with some of the procedures. You just need to focus on the key points,” Aunt Wen insisted to Xie Qingyu.
"Auntie, I know you mean well, but there are still some things I can't say right now. I'll talk to you about it after I discuss it with Jian Linchuan." Xie Qingyu smiled sweetly, but rejected Aunt Wen's suggestion.
Aunt Wen's expression didn't change, but her heart skipped a beat.
"Okay, then you can discuss it with Linchuan. Tell Auntie what kind of wedding you like. Don't worry, a wedding only happens once, so you must make sure it's satisfactory," Aunt Wen added.
“That’s true. Let the young people discuss it first, so they won’t be upset by us,” Huang Manli added.
Huang Manli's relationship with Aunt Wen was usually lukewarm, but Huang Manli's attitude was quite good this time, and Aunt Wen couldn't say anything else, so she could only nod in agreement.
"Then Qingyu, come shopping with me today. I haven't gone shopping in ages, and I'll be able to buy more things if I go with you," Aunt Wen said with a smile. "I won't be involved in the wedding, but buying a few clothes should be fine, right?"
Since she had said that, Xie Qingyu naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."
"It's better to have a daughter. If you have a son, you won't have anyone to go shopping with, and you'll have to find a daughter-in-law," Aunt Wen said to Huang Manli.
Xie Qingyu had already gotten up and gone upstairs, but she didn't stop when she heard this.
"Your son is doing well too, isn't he? He's doing quite well in his career outside of Linchuan." Huang Manli complimented.
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Xie Qingyu came downstairs after changing her clothes.
As they were leaving, Aunt Wen looked at Qin Zheng behind Xie Qingyu with some confusion, "Who is this?"
"This is the bodyguard my cousin found for me. He can also carry our shopping bags later," Xie Qingyu said cheerfully.
"Your cousin?" Aunt Wen asked in confusion, "The Zhao family's cousin?"
Aunt Wen naturally knew about the Zhao family; she had asked them for help when she was abroad.
That's how she met Xie Qingyu's mother.
However, she knew that Xie Qingyu's mother was only an adopted daughter, so she hadn't been in contact with them much after her death.
I never expected that they would actually contact Xie Qingyu again.
"This is a good thing." Aunt Wen patted Xie Qingyu's hand. "You have more family members now, and they even found you a bodyguard. They really care about you."
Aunt Wen glanced at Qin Zheng twice.
No wonder he comes from the Zhao family, this bodyguard looks very professional.
He has a good physique and his eyes are full of energy; at first glance, he doesn't look like a bodyguard at all.
"Mmm." Xie Qingyu didn't want Aunt Wen's attention to focus on Qin Zheng, so she started to say something else to change the subject.
Aunt Wen followed Xie Qingyu's lead and steered the conversation elsewhere, but at the very end, she casually asked, "Did you and Lin Chuan have a falling out?"
Xie Qingyu paused for a moment, then lowered her head. "No."
Aunt Wen looked knowing. "You don't need to lie to me. Lin Chuan must have done something outrageous again. You were talking about his name directly today, which is different from before."
"I know Linchuan is a bit of a scoundrel, but the fact that he took the initiative to propose to you shows that he still cares about you. I'm just worried that there might be some conflicts between you two. If there are any, you should talk them out so that they can be resolved. At the very least, it shouldn't affect the wedding, right?"
Aunt Wen patiently coaxed Xie Qingyu to tell her what had happened.
"Auntie, I don't want to marry Jian Linchuan," Xie Qingyu said softly.
"Why?" Aunt Wen sat up straight. "What happened? Didn't he apologize for what happened last time?"
"So if I push Jian Linchuan onto the table and he gets a bloody head, and then apologize lightly and unwillingly, is that enough?" Xie Qingyu retorted.
Aunt Wen had never seen Xie Qingyu suddenly lose her soft attitude before, and she was a little taken aback for a moment, but she quickly said, "Of course you can. Auntie supports you beating him up. He didn't do it on purpose last time, but it's okay to hit him back if you mind."
"I've already fought back," Xie Qingyu said.
"What?" Aunt Wen couldn't understand the meaning of Xie Qingyu's simple words for a moment.
“I slapped him last time, and I’ve already slapped him back.”
"You hit Linchuan? When did this happen?" Aunt Wen asked anxiously.
"Just two days ago."
"That's not impossible," Aunt Wen said, somewhat stammering.
Xie Qingyu doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this.
"Because I discovered that Jian Linchuan didn't respect me at all, I didn't want to marry him," Xie Qingyu stated her position.
"How could that be? He's just young and doesn't understand things yet, but he's never said a word against your engagement. When you were little, he loved playing with you the most, and you loved him the most too. Don't you remember?"
