The tables had turned so quickly that Jiang Yao could not react in time. Chen Lanying had turned from a good woman into someone else.
The phrase looking for a husband' was very apt to describe what Chen Lanying had done.
Mrs Lu was furious when she found out about that. Her son's fiancee had looked for another man with marriage in mind. Was there a difference if she had cheated on her son?
Lu Xingzhi was a bastard. He did not even show up for the engagement. However, even if Chen Lanying felt aggrieved, she could have rejected it. The Lu family had always respected Chen Lanying's choice. Chen Lanying said that she did not mind; she understood that Lu Xingzhi was busy, so she would wait for Lu Xingzhi to come home for their wedding.
That was why Mrs Lu treated Chen Lanying like her daughter. Lu Xingzhi owed her, so she wanted to compensate the young woman. She tried to give Chen Lanying the best food and clothes that money could buy.
If Mrs Lu went to town, she could get something for Chen Lanying. It was either food or clothes, and they were not ordinary cheap goods.
