Zhao Sulan wanted to say something else, but Lin Youdong stopped her and said softly to Meng Chuyue, "Perhaps what your mom said was just said in anger? Let’s wait for the DNA test results before we discuss this. It’s not good for you to be alone right now, we’ll stay and keep you company."
Meng Chuyue’s eyes were hollow, she shook her head in a daze, "No need, I still have my cousin, and people from my grandmother’s house will be here soon. You don’t have to pretend to care."
Zhao Sulan pushed away Lin Youdong who was holding her back and yelled loudly, "They aren’t here yet, are they? Oh, why can’t you just understand? Oh, you want me to leave, don’t you? Well, I am definitely not leaving today."
Zhao Sulan decided she must keep a close watch on Meng Chuyue these days; she couldn’t let her run away again.
If it weren’t for Meng Wanhua’s death, she would have immediately taken Meng Chuyue away, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Shen Ci, who had been silently watching from his own doorstep, knew what Zhao Sulan was up to; he walked over and sneered, "Please leave, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude."
Zhao Sulan looked at him fiercely and said, "...What does this have to do with you?"
"Chuyue is my girlfriend, what do you think it has to do with me?"
Before, Shen Ci had been afraid to pursue Meng Chuyue, worried about implicating her.
Now, realizing her situation was even more dangerous, he had no such concerns.
From now on, as long as she was willing, he would protect her.
At this time, people nearby had heard of Meng Wanhua’s death and many came to see what was happening.
Shen Ci’s words shocked a large group of people who knew him.
What? Shen Ci has a girlfriend?
And it’s Meng Wanhua’s daughter?
Those who had once mistaken Meng Jingfen for Meng Wanhua’s daughter were even more surprised.
Did Meng Wanhua have two daughters?
This daughter is very beautiful, and she matches well with Shen Ci.
At this moment, Qin Weilan happened to return from outside.
She had seen Meng Chuyue before and was always amazed by her beauty and demeanor, thinking she was a good match for her son. Hearing this, she immediately brought a group of card-playing friends to drag Zhao Sulan and Lin Youdong out.
"Get out, my future daughter-in-law doesn’t welcome you, hurry up and scram."
"Scram, scram, don’t act like shameless dogs."
Now Qin Weilan’s group of friends, all boisterous women, cursed loudly and were unhesitant in laying hands on Zhao Sulan and Lin Youdong.
One woman even got fresh with Lin Youdong.
Lin Youdong was both angry and anxious, and without any reason to stay, could only leave while dragging the cursing Zhao Sulan.
After going downstairs, he said to the disgruntled Zhao Sulan, "We can just have Da Qiang keep watch."
"No, I must watch her myself. Nothing can go wrong."
"You can watch at the entrance of the complex just the same."
After driving Lin Youdong and Zhao Sulan away, Qin Weilan did not stay at the Meng family’s home to bother anyone, but went home to prepare dinner.
Of course, she also thoughtfully prepared a portion for Meng Chuyue.
Shen Ci, who had been quietly sitting with Meng Chuyue for a while, said, "Just now..."
He had just started speaking when Meng Chuyue smiled bitterly, "Thanks for just now. I know you were just trying to help me, and I won’t take it to heart."
Now was not the time to confess; better to let her keep misunderstanding for now.
He nodded, fell silent for a while, and then said, "...Then I’ll stay here with you in the living room until your cousin comes back."
His words reminded the confused Meng Chuyue of something.
She hadn’t yet notified Meng Jingfen and her grandmother about Meng Wanhua’s death.
Although she didn’t want to see her grandmother’s family, her mother would definitely want them to come to the funeral.
She suddenly sat up, found the address book by the phone, and began calling Meng Jingfen, Meng Yinhua, and Xiaoliu Village in turn.
The people on the other end of the phone were all shocked by the bad news and wanted confirmation, but Meng Chuyue, too weary to explain further, quickly hung up the phone.
