"Your metaphor" Jiang Yao touched her forehead gently.
"Sister-in-law, Don't pick on my bad manners. I don't like to read, and I am not good with words, but I think Chen Lanying did this because she had the same thoughts as my hesitation to buy vanilla or strawberry ice cream. If it weren't for the fact that I was afraid of spoiling my stomach if I ate too much, and if it weren't because objective conditions didn't allow it, I would have eaten both flavors." Lu Xiaoxiao laughed. "In any case, Chen Lanying was just looking at the pot while she ate."
"After the engagement was canceled, he would leave every few days. When he came back, he'd be in an excellent mood. It was as if he had changed into a different person." Mrs Lu smiled. "Not long after that, he told us that he wanted to marry a wife."
Mrs Lu thought it was funny when she mentioned that. "I thought that I had to help him find a wife, but he was the one who proposed it. I was so happy, and I really didn't expect that he would send your photo for us to see. He said that he wanted to marry you and asked us to go to your house to propose a marriage."
Mrs Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she talked about everything that had happened after that.
"Later, we finally found out that Xingzhi had made such a big fuss so that the Chen family would break off the engagement so that he could marry you when you were eighteen." Mrs Lu's eyes were curved. "Xingzhi had known about you a long time ago, but when I asked him to get married, you were still too young. So, he probably didn't think about marrying you at that time."
Therefore, it was tough to say whether a person was fated to be with another person. Mrs Lu thought that Lu Xingzhi was such a cold person in the past, but did he not become a hothead who had started to fall in love when he was with Jiang Yao?
