"Are you really going to find a job? I can't help but laugh coldly inside. In my previous life, Wang Jianmin went to town, but all he did was engage in petty theft and gambling! He ended up in a mountain of debt, forcing me to pay it off for him!"
"Mom, do you really believe in empty promises?" I retorted. "If he truly had any skills, would he need to wait until marrying me to find work? I think he just wants to marry a wife who won't ask for a dowry and can take care of his whole family!"
"You... how can you say that!" Liu Yumei was left speechless, her face flushed with anger.
At that moment, a "gentle" voice interjected, "Uncle, Aunt, Sister Xiulian, what's going on? Why are you so upset?"
It was Zhao Chunyan! She wore a crisp pink shirt that made her skin look even fairer. In her hand, she carried a small basket containing a few eggs, presenting herself as a concerned "sister" come to visit me.
In my previous life, she always appeared at my most desperate moments, using her seemingly harmless "concern" and "kindness" to gain my trust before stabbing me in the back!
"Chunyan is here," Liu Yumei said, her expression softening slightly. "It's all because of your Sister Xiulian! I don't know what got into her; she insists on rejecting such a good match! It's driving me crazy!"
"Oh? Is it about the Wang family proposal?" Zhao Chunyan feigned surprise. "Isn't that great? Brother Jianmin is smart and handsome; Sister Xiulian would definitely have a good life if she married him!"
While she spoke sweetly, I noticed a flicker of schadenfreude in her eyes. I knew she was eager for me to marry that scoundrel Wang Jianmin so she could continue her ambiguous relationship with him as my "good sister," even waiting to see me make a fool of myself!
"A good life?" I turned to Zhao Chunyan with a smirk. "If you think it's so great, why not take that blessing for yourself? You and Wang Jianmin seem quite compatible."
Zhao Chunyan's smile froze, and a flash of panic and anger crossed her eyes before she quickly masked it with feigned innocence. "Sister Xiulian, how can you joke like that? I've always seen Brother Jianmin as my own brother! Are you still mad at me for what happened yesterday?"
Yesterday? Right! Before the Wang family came to propose, Zhao Chunyan had "casually" mentioned that Wang Jianmin seemed to be flirting with other girls. In my previous life, I believed her and developed doubts about him, which only gave the matchmaker an opportunity.
What a clever move—crying thief while stealing!
"Mad? What would I be mad about?" I pretended to be confused. "Weren't you the one who told me yesterday that Wang Jianmin is a rare good man and urged me to agree quickly? Why the sudden change today?"
"I... I meant..." Zhao Chunyan was caught off guard by my question and struggled to concoct an excuse.
"What do you mean by that? Are you upset because I rejected the Wang family proposal? Or do you feel inconvenienced now that I'm not around as your 'stepping stone' to get close to Wang Jianmin?" I pressed on, my gaze sharp as a knife.
"You’re talking nonsense! I’m not!" Zhao Chunyan resorted to her usual tactic—her eyes reddening as if on the verge of tears. "Sister Xiulian! We’ve grown up together as best friends! How could you think that of me? I'm only looking out for your best interests!"
"For my best interests?" I laughed. "Well then, thank you very much. But when it comes to my marriage, there's no need for your concern. And in the future, stay out of Wang family's affairs. After all, it's best not to stir up gossip where it doesn't belong."
