Yang Yuanming followed Lin Jiaojiao into the Lin Family’s house, cultured and courteous, from a wealthy family.
Simply the perfect choice for a fiancé.
All this perfection fell onto Lin Jiaojiao, for the Lin Family, it was like a pie falling from the sky.
The whole family didn’t notice anything amiss; instead, they were all jubilant, eager to arrange a wedding at that moment.
The Lin Family prepared a lavish lunch.
After the meal, Yang Yuanming left with the matchmaker, and the Lin Family members all came out to see them off.
After sending them off, Mother Lin and Grandma Lin stood ostentatiously in the middle of the courtyard, speaking boastfully to themselves, "The man’s side is really sincere, brought eight kinds of gifts."
"Because our Jiaojiao is excellent."
"Indeed."
Mother Lin and Grandma Lin sang in harmony, praising their own family.
Since the Lin Family had several conflicts with Jiang Cheng, their relationship with people in the big courtyard worsened.
With the current trend of making money with scrap cloth packages, people preferred not to offend Jiang Cheng.
However, an old neighbor did speak up.
"The Lin Family, marriage is a major event, how come they visited for the first time without their elders?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Lin’s face immediately fell.
"It’s not that their elders didn’t come, it’s that they’re too busy! You know the Yang Family... the father is a big leader, the biological mother specifically manages our lanes four and five!"
Mother Lin glanced proudly towards the Shen Family’s direction.
Inside, Jiang Cheng and Grandma Shen exchanged a glance, gossip flashing in their eyes, then they synchronously pouted.
Enemies always gather together!
Director Hu is Yang Guilan’s biological mother, Yang Guilan, the woman who grabbed Shen Yue’s belongings and was humiliated by Jiang Cheng a few days ago.
She was actually the man’s biological mother!
What’s said is said, this entire family probably doesn’t have a single good person!
Moreover, the Yang Family is about to face hard times.
The first blade to fall in the era’s great cut strikes them.
Mother Lin continued to flaunt in the courtyard, while the neighbor who reminded them spoke no further.
Kind words can’t persuade a ghost that’s meant to die.
What the Lin Family fancied was merely the Yang Family’s background, wasn’t it?

A week has passed since Lin Jiaojiao’s matchmaking.
Jiang Cheng was busy again because previous theater publicity had an effect.
The provincial theater troupe directly sent an invitation to the night school, inviting them to take their play to the province for a major performance.
Principal Wang, upon receiving the notice, immediately reported to the higher-ups.
Jiang Cheng had said, when working within the system, it’s important to leave traces.
Indeed, after Principal Wang reported, he received high praise from the leadership and strong support for bringing the play to the province.
Following the leader’s instructions, Principal Wang sought out Jiang Cheng to discuss.
Jiang Cheng suggested not to disrupt everyone’s work schedule during rehearsals, and to take leave only when going out to perform.
Thus, the night school’s play found gaps for rehearsal during free time.
Another week later, Lin Jiaojiao was about to get married.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Cheng was unperturbed and continued to busy herself at the night school.
Her relationship with the Lin Family made it impossible to send a gift.
Grandma Shen also didn’t; she had no past gift-giving relationship with the Lin Family.
However, Shen Xing, as the Shen Family’s representative, sent over ten eggs.
Because when Shen Family’s parents passed away, the Lin Family did come.
Jiang Cheng praised Shen Xing for doing the right thing, distinguishing between what’s owed and repaying it.
Lin Jiaojiao’s marriage had no impact on Jiang Cheng.
That day, the rehearsal for the play finally concluded, and in five days, Jiang Cheng would take the night school to the province for the major performance.
However, before leaving, Jiang Cheng planned to arrange Shen Yue’s painting affairs.
In the evening, she carried a piece of meat, a small net bag of fruits, and took Shen Yue to Sister Wang’s home.
Sister Wang lived in the family apartment building of the public security bureau, and she was allowed in after a checkpoint inspection.
Second floor.
