When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 111: Leading Lady of the 1960s Cultural Troupe (50)

The crowd couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh. You really couldn’t judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought the Zhang couple, with their simple, honest farmer-like appearance, could be so shameless as to make up stories about a young woman just to find a roundabout way to get money.

Xia Zhaoyun’s gaze lingered on Song Zhenbao’s stomach for a moment. She wondered if she was being paranoid, but in the past half hour, Song Zhenbao had stroked her belly no fewer than five times.

’That was a subconscious gesture typical of an inexperienced woman who had just become pregnant and was craving attention.’

The women from the factory were all sharp; when one of them noticed Xia Zhaoyun’s gaze, she followed it to Song Zhenbao’s stomach.

"Mr. Fan, have your two families decided when you’ll be holding the wedding for the young couple?"

Mother Tong was extremely annoyed. Regardless of whether the Zhang family’s claims were true, she didn’t want Song Zhenbao marrying into the Tong family. But the girl was supposedly pregnant and had shamelessly latched onto her Yuanbin.

Every time she thought of her outstanding son being taken by a village girl like Song Zhenbao, she felt so nauseated she could hardly breathe easy for days.

And now this whole spectacle today... If Father Tong hadn’t been tugging her sleeve and constantly signaling for her to calm down,

she would have stormed off. She certainly wouldn’t have stood there and let the crowd question her.

Mother Tong took a deep breath and glanced at Xia Zhaoyun, who had remained standing by the door without taking a single step forward.

’A girl this beautiful, elegant, and intelligent... now *she* was worthy of my outstanding son...’

But for now, she had to save face for the Tong family. She forced a smile and said, "My Yuanbin is about to start his summer break, and he’s thinking of finding a temporary job to support himself."

"Their feelings for each other are growing stronger, and as a mother, I’m on edge all day, worried they won’t be able to control their impulses. Since they’re both of age, we old folks don’t want to be the villains who break up a pair of lovebirds."

"We’re planning to pick a date soon and have the wedding. We’ll send everyone invitations when the time comes..."

Since Mother Tong had so frankly discussed the young couple’s affairs, the crowd’s suspicions began to fade.

Xia Zhaoyun pursed her lips and smiled faintly. ’I really have no idea what these factory women eat,’ she thought. ’Every one of them is so calculating. Their words twist and turn so much they could lead you by the nose before you even knew what was happening.’

’If you dropped them into ancient times, they’d be absolute masters of household intrigue.’

After all the commotion, the Song and Tong families could only force smiles; any trace of festive joy they felt had been completely ruined.
