Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Bringing the Kept Man Home

Man? Song Jiajia is so bold, getting close to a man is a big deal these days.

She actually brought a man back?

Does she not want Lu Hao anymore?

Sang Yu squeezed through the crowd watching the drama, looking at the tightly closed door, hesitating whether to knock or not.

"Xiao Yu, why aren't you going in?" The woman standing at the door lived upstairs and usually didn't get along with Chen Jinlan.

Now, she's the first one eager to watch the show.

She looked at Sang Yu with an eagerness that was absent before.

Sang Yu blinked innocently and said, "Auntie, this might not be good, Auntie seems really angry."

"Why not? It's because she's angry that you should open the door quickly, what if your Auntie gets so mad she starts hitting people?"

Speaking about hitting, Sang Yu seemed a bit frightened, backing away a few steps: "Auntie, it's not good, if I open the door now, Auntie might hit me."

"She won't, we'll hold her back!" The woman's voice sounded eager.

Sang Yu was still hesitating, and the woman urged, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, Auntie promises not to let your Auntie hit you."

The people behind also said they'd help hold her back.

Only then did Sang Yu slowly take out a key from her bag.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, she unlocked the door.

As soon as it was opened, Chen Jinlan's overwhelming scolding flooded out: "Do you have no shame? How can I face others after you do this?"

"I don't care, I just want to marry Brother Lu."

Brother Lu, Sang Yu heard Song Jiajia's name for him,

It seems, the man beside Song Jiajia is exactly Lu Hao.

But is Song Jiajia being too eager, already together with Lu Hao?

As the door opened, the people outside crowded at the entrance, alarming those inside.

Chen Jinlan and others looked towards the door.

Sang Yu innocently said: "Auntie, are you okay?"

Looking at all those people behind Sang Yu, the fury inside Chen Jinlan couldn't be vented.

She pressed her anger down and said, "I'm fine, Xiao Yu is back? Come in quickly."

Sang Yu took two steps inside, "I heard from Aunties that you were really angry today, that's why I wanted to come and see."

"It's fine, Xiao Yu, close the door first."

"Close what? Jinlan, since Jiajia wants to get married, just let her marry, what's there to stop, you see, even brought the man in directly." The first aunt to squeeze in said.

Chen Jinlan suppressed her anger: "Li Rumei, this is none of your business here."

Li Rumei didn't take offense but smiled warmly and said, "We're just concerned about you, we're neighbors after all, don't you think?"

The people outside dared not reply, but their eyes watching the drama were blatant.

Chen Jinlan was so angry her face turned green.

Song Jiajia's eyes shifted: "Mom, Aunt Li is right, why shut the door, it's not something shameful."

Then she shouted to the neighbors outside, "When I get married later, I'll invite all the aunties for wedding candy."

Chen Jinlan heard Song Jiajia's words and almost fainted.

Sang Yu looked at Song Jiajia's proud expression and shook her head.

Keeping it secret is better, now she's shouted it out, everyone knows.

Chen Jinlan is likely to be furious.

After all, a few years ago Chen Jinlan had already boasted to neighbors about her daughter marrying a soldier, and two years ago after the man retired, he became a police station team leader.

Lately, Chen Jinlan continued boasting, saying that despite retiring, he's still a team leader in public security.

She was proud.

Now Song Jiajia shouted loudly, everyone knows, how far is it to know Song Jiajia changed betrothal?

"Jiajia, is this your fiancé? The one from the public security? He's not bad looking." Aunt Li teased.

Song Jiajia's face stiffened, she forgot about this.

The man next to Song Jiajia, Lu Hao, his eyes showed displeasure: "I'm Lu Hao, hello aunties."

"Lu Hao? Isn't he supposed to be Jiang Jingming?" Aunt Li was the first to sense something wrong.

Chen Jinlan now wished she could tear that mouth of Song Jiajia's!

Song Jiajia suddenly looked at Sang Yu, her expression aggrieved: "Actually, Brother Lu is my cousin's fiancé; it's my cousin who doesn't want to marry Brother Lu, she wants to marry Jiang Jingming, so she wanted to swap with me,

My cousin lost her parents a few years ago, I find her pitiful, so I agreed."

From the moment Sang Yu entered, Lu Hao's gaze settled on her.

Sang Yu was malnourished, thus her body was thin, but even so, it couldn't hide her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Lu Hao initially regretted agreeing to his grandmother to swap the marriage.

Though Song Jiajia is pretty, she can't compare with Sang Yu.

But now after hearing Song Jiajia's words, recalling what Song Jiajia said at home yesterday.

Sang Yu is supposedly a vain woman, how could such a woman be worthy of him.

Lu Hao looked at Sang Yu with disappointment and disgust.

Sang Yu laughed inside, why should he look at her like that?

Is it because his eyes don't have as big undereye bags as hers?

And Song Jiajia, reborn and still so brainless.

She suspected the previous book's author might be Song Jiajia herself, can such a person be the main character?

No wonder she couldn't stand reading it before, turns out she has a brain and morals.

Originally Sang Yu and Lu Hao's marriage was known only to their families, now the whole tenement building knows.

Sang Yu looked at Chen Jinlan again, yep, close enough, almost fuming to death.

For a moment, the watching crowd's peculiar gaze fell upon Sang Yu.

Sang Yu chuckled inwardly, jokes aside, who can outdo me in acting naïve?

Sang Yu lowered her head and softly said, "Hmm, Cousin, Cousin is right."

She appeared as though accused wrongly, too afraid to refute, looking extremely pitiful.

Even without seeing her face, her weak silhouette indicated how wronged she felt.

"No way, Xiao Yu isn't like that." Aunt Li first spoke up.

Never mind if Lu Hao is Sang Yu's fiancé or not, Sang Yu couldn't possibly do such a thing.

"Exactly, Xiao Yu wouldn't do this."

All neighbors knew, Sang Yu was a well-behaved, sensible child, always greeting people politely.

Everyone quite liked Sang Yu.

Unlike Song Jiajia, arrogant, looking down on people with her nose.

Those unaware would think her eyeballs were growing on her nose.

"Auntie, I'm fine, you all don't need to say anymore." Sang Yu said softly.

Sounding even more pitiful.

Their gaze towards Sang Yu grew more affectionate, while their eyes towards Song Jiajia and the others turned disdainful.

Song Jiajia hurriedly said, "What do you know, it's Sang Yu who wanted the swap!"

Chen Jinlan's head was about to explode, she pulled Sang Yu to her side, then pushed Li Rumei and others out.
