Chapter 1454: Chapter 1455: Putting It Off as Long as Possible
When Cheng Yaozu came back, he saw Ying Xiaoya’s eyes were red, assuming Cheng Su had bullied her. He tried to coax and amuse her, leaving both Cheng Su and Ying Xiaoya quite helpless.
Seeing these two young lovebirds finally coming to fruition, Cheng Su genuinely felt happy. After all, Ying Xiaoya was one of her best friends since she came back, and now she was preparing to marry her godbrother, which was a great fate.
While they had reached a conclusion, Ning Ge still didn’t know when he would find a match!
Cheng Su thought that since Ning Ge was also in the Capital now, and given that Cheng Yaozu and the others had returned, she might as well invite him over for a meal, hoping it would spur him to settle down soon.
Ning Ge quickly arrived upon receiving the message. They were all familiar friends, and inevitably, there was laughter and merriment.
With guests at home, Liu Wenjing felt it was inappropriate to stay there. Qi Fengping was also busy studying, so she decided to create some space by going to their dormitory with her books.
After seeing Cheng Su’s friends, each dressed elegantly and exuding the demeanor of genuine city folk, Liu Wenjing asked Qi Fengping who they were.
Having met them several times before, Qi Fengping explained briefly.
Liu Wenjing’s expression turned complicated as she said, "Our cousin is truly amazing. She herself is capable, and her acquaintances are extraordinary too. We really can’t compare!"
Qi Fengping glanced at her and said, "There’s a saying: Birds of a feather flock together. You are what the company you keep. I suppose that’s exactly what my sister-in-law is like!"
Liu Wenjing gave a forced smile, "Is that so!"
Qi Fengping looked at her and continued, "I estimate I’ll be heading back home to prepare for my exams early next month. By then, my mom should come over to take care of my sister-in-law!"
Liu Wenjing’s body stiffened, her face turning pale instantly.
"Your mom is coming?" she asked, her voice trembling with a pale face.
Qi Fengping nodded and said, "My sister-in-law is already this far along, and my brother is always in the military and can’t be around her all the time. So, of course, someone from the family has to come take care of her."
Liu Wenjing opened her mouth, wanting to say that when she gave birth to Jin Sheng, she did it by herself in a cave, with only Deng Weixia to help deliver.
"Is June coming so soon?"
Qi Fengping nodded, and after a while said, "Are you afraid?"
Liu Wenjing gave a smile more painful than crying and said, "What good does fear do? We still have to face it eventually!"
Everyone knew that once Mother Qi arrived and saw Liu Wenjing, it would be as if Aunt knew too. Imagining the situation wasn’t even necessary to understand!
Qi Fengping sighed and said, "Facing it earlier is better. Dragging it out only increases the anger."
"You don’t understand." Liu Wenjing gazed out the window and said, "Your life hasn’t been as bitter as mine. It’s not that easy! I would drag it out as long as I can, wishing that day never comes."
"If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have come to Qing City. There are vast lands, and you could have gone somewhere where no one knows you!" Qi Fengping retorted.
"Fengping, in a foreign land, people have to bow their heads. We feared having no one to rely on, and that’s why..." Liu Wenjing sighed, "Maybe you’re right, we shouldn’t have come. But I also knew that when your cousin secretly sent money home, he couldn’t abandon your Aunt, nor his responsibilities as a son. So where we go doesn’t matter!"
Qi Fengping said nothing.
"It’s fate, my fate is bitter, no one to blame!" Liu Wenjing said, dropping the subject.
