80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Some people thought the old lady was dissatisfied with Chang Jingxiang's daughter-in-law, and they whispered among themselves.

"This young lady is quite pretty, why isn't the old lady satisfied with her?"

"What do you know? The old lady usually keeps to herself and is very simple and elegant. She doesn't like this kind of flamboyant and edgy dressing."

"What do you know? This isn't Chang Jingxiang's wife at all. I've met his wife before."

"I haven't heard that he got divorced. Wasn't he only married that other woman not long ago? I heard he brought her back from the countryside, and he's already replaced her with a new one?"

"This young girl looks quite innocent and cute, but I didn't expect her to be this kind of person. She's not even divorced yet, and her relationship with him is already ambiguous. She even came to this kind of event. If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to show my face in public."

"The world is going to the dogs! Why don't Chang's parents discipline their child properly? How can they let him run wild like this?"

"That's right, isn't their whole family in the military? They should set a good example. Besides, aren't military marriages protected?"

"Who knows? He's the leader, so he's the one who calls the shots."

The sound wasn't too loud, nor too soft; it just reached the ears of Chang's parents.

What could Chang's parents say? They could only pretend they didn't hear and endure it.

Xu Feifei's face turned green upon hearing these words. She rubbed her fingers together vigorously and looked at Chang Jingxiang pitifully.

Chang Jingxiang, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent. It wasn't that he didn't care at all, but rather that he hadn't listened to a word of it.

He was still debating whether or not to go over and greet Lin Yue later.

Seeing Xu Feifei's face turn pale and then flushed, Huo Qingxia felt much better, and she felt like she could eat two more bowls of rice.

She snorted coldly: "She still followed along in this kind of situation, isn't she just asking for a scolding? She really has no self-awareness at all."

No, it's not that they lack self-awareness, it's that they have absolutely no shame.

Lin Yue tugged at her arm, and Huo Qingxia helplessly pouted, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, okay? It's only because you're so kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have already scratched her face."

Lin Yue didn't reply, but just smiled faintly. She was quite calm now and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

When it was Huo Qingxia's turn to give a gift, she gave a women's watch with a delicate round dial and several diamonds set on it.

Huo Qingxia put the bracelet directly on Yuan Wanying's wrist, saying, "Auntie is indeed naturally beautiful; she looks good in anything."

With her sweet words, she made Yuan Wanying beam with joy, and everyone present forgot what had just happened, focusing all their attention on the old lady.

Next was Lin Yue. Lin Yue walked up to Yuan Wanying with a box in her hand, and Yuan Wanying scrutinized her expression.

He nodded with relief when he realized that she wasn't upset about Chang Jingxiang's situation.

Lin Yue took out a purplish-red cheongsam from the box. A blooming peony was embroidered in gold thread on the chest, and the collar was fastened with Chinese knot buttons made of the same gold thread.

The design is simple yet dignified, elegant, and graceful, clearly showing careful thought.

The hem is designed to be relatively loose, with only a small slit, reaching about the calf, so it won't be too tight even when sitting in a wheelchair.

Yuan Wanying stroked it lovingly. Lin Yue was indeed a thoughtful girl; she had observed Yuan Wanying's preferences after only meeting her once.

Moreover, the design is very thoughtful, completely tailor-made for her, making it easy for her to wear while in a wheelchair.

The cheongsams she usually buys have very high slits, so when Yuan Wanying wears them while in a wheelchair, she always needs to cover herself with a piece of cloth, otherwise she will accidentally expose herself.

Looking at the cheongsam, Chang's mother was filled with mixed emotions. Lin Yue had said that once she learned how to make clothes, she would make one for herself.

She's making rapid progress now; she can even make cheongsams, but unfortunately, they're not for herself.

After putting down the cheongsam, the aunt warmly grasped Lin Yue's hand, "Thank you, Xiao Yue. You're so thoughtful, I really like it."

Lin Yue said somewhat shyly, "I'm glad you like it, Auntie. My skills aren't good enough yet. I'll make it for you when I've practiced more."

"Alright, alright, Auntie, just wait. The ones I buy outside never fit properly. Yours are the best."

Lin Yue asked Huo Qingyan to get Yuan Wanying's old cheongsam for her. She had it made according to the measurements of the garment, so it should fit her perfectly.

Everyone praised her, which infuriated Xu Feifei even more. She bit her lip tightly, wishing she could glare a hole through Lin Yue.

Holding Lin Yue's hand, Mrs. Huo said excitedly, "Xiao Yue, make one for me too. I also love wearing cheongsams, but there's never a suitable occasion to wear one."

Lin Yue readily agreed. She planned to make several more outfits for everyone before she left, as long as she could do it.

In fact, she had already prepared herself for the roles of Chang's father, Chang's mother, and Chang Jingxiang; it was something she had subconsciously prepared herself for.

Their measurements had all been taken beforehand, not to mention Chang Jingxiang's, which she had personally measured inch by inch by hand and had memorized.

She also made a pair of shoes. She remembered that Chang Jingxiang had been jealous about shoes before and asked her to make them for him by hand.

He had long forgotten the past, so naturally he didn't remember this either.

Lin Yue chuckled self-deprecatingly. She was about to go to the restroom when she saw Xu Feifei walking towards her from a distance. So she turned around and went back to Huo Qingxia's side.

On this occasion, Lin Yue didn't want to give Xu Feifei any opportunity to take advantage of her.

As expected, Xu Feifei dared not approach Huo Qingxia again upon seeing her, and could only stand there glaring hatefully at Lin Yue.

Lin Yuezhen felt that Xu Feifei had something wrong with her mind. Even though she had left the Chang family, Xu Feifei was still targeting her.

She decided to stay far away; she dared not take even the slightest risk.

During the meal, Lin Yue sat at the same table as the Huo family. Wang Yiming originally intended to sit next to Huo Qingxia, but Huo Qingyan pulled him to sit at the table behind them.

Chang Jingxiang was at a table to their left, and from his position, he could see Lin Yue's profile.

Xu Feifei was pulled to sit next to Chang Jingxiang by Chang's mother, which would only attract more gossip.

She felt her ears burning all night, and she felt that everyone was looking at them strangely. She thought that these people would probably look down on her family in the future.

Huo Qingxia kept putting food on Lin Yue's plate, while she herself kept eating and muttering to herself.

"The chef my aunt hired today is really good. The food is so delicious. Let's find out which restaurant it is and go there to eat another day."

Lin Yue didn't need to pick up any food herself; she just focused on finishing the food in her bowl. She found it delicious and unconsciously ate a little more.

Chang Jingxiang glanced over from time to time and saw that her chopsticks never stopped; she really didn't mind that he came with Xu Feifei.
