Free Web NovelChapter 434: Chapter 430: Family Unrest
Xu Wenwan felt as if her entire worldview had been shattered.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Am I not beautiful?"
"With looks like mine, I can definitely find the son of an official. How could Yun Hao possibly be worthy of me?"
For a moment, Chen Xiumin didn’t know whether to laugh at her daughter’s wild fantasies, be angry at her for being so clueless, or admire her confidence.
"Is your head filled with shit? Your reputation is completely ruined, and you still want to marry the son of an official?"
"He’d have to be completely blind to even consider you."
"All you do is daydream. How did I end up with a daughter like you?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Chen Xiumin was absolutely livid.
Ever since Xu Wenwan had returned, Chen Xiumin had always spoken cautiously, being very mindful of her daughter’s feelings.
But now, she was saying such harsh words.
Xu Wenwan’s eyes widened. "What’s that supposed to mean? Do you think I’m no match for the daughter you had before?"
Chen Xiumin didn’t care anymore.
’This daughter is nothing but an ungrateful wretch.’
"Of course you can’t compare. Chuchu has been kind and obedient since she was little. She never stirred up trouble at home, got along wonderfully with her cousins, and her uncles and aunts all liked her. And you!"
"Since you came back, you’ve done nothing but bring turmoil to this family! You’ve disgraced the Xu Family, ruined your own reputation, and now your father and I get pointed at and gossiped about whenever we go out."
Perhaps it was because she had been suppressing her feelings for too long.
Chen Xiumin had a complete meltdown, and her words stabbed at Xu Wenwan’s heart like daggers.
Xu Wenwan’s eyes welled with tears.
’She knew it. In her parents’ hearts, the one they would always cherish was Xu Chuchu.’
She refused to believe a word Chen Xiumin said.
She stormed out of the house.
’She had to prove that she was truly outstanding.’
Seeing Xu Wenwan run off, Chen Xiumin regretted that her words had been too harsh and quickly ran after her.
Chen Jianshe was walking along the village’s main road, planning to go find Leng Yuan.
Lu Yuanbin had just sent a letter asking Gu Jiaojiao to make another batch of facial soap.
The New Year was approaching, the market had been good lately, and the response to the facial soap was excellent.
However, the market in one County Town was nearly saturated. But Lu Yuanbin was resourceful; he had taken the facial soap to sell in the surrounding county towns a few times and had successfully opened up the market there as well.
As he was thinking about the soap business, he heard a commotion in the distance.
His interest piqued, Chen Jianshe walked over in just a few strides. He stood beside a group of young men who had also stopped to look, and saw Xu Wenwan, who had run outside wearing only a form-fitting sweater, without her padded winter jacket.
The sweater was a soft pink and clung to her body, perfectly outlining Xu Wenwan’s curvaceous figure.
In the countryside, no one else dared to wear something so figure-hugging, which accentuated all her curves.
The sight left all the young men around staring, completely dumbfounded.
Even Chen Jianshe couldn’t help but take a second look. It wasn’t her figure he was looking at; he just thought Xu Wenwan’s face had become much prettier than before.
’She still couldn’t compare to Gu Jiaojiao, but she was still incredibly beautiful.’
’But what was she planning to do?’
Xu Wenwan stopped on the main road, her eyes scanning the young men gathered there. Her gaze swept past the others and landed directly on Chen Jianshe.
’In the book, Chen Jianshe becomes a skincare tycoon.’
’If she married Chen Jianshe, she’d be a wealthy man’s wife in the future.’
’Besides, she also planned to get into the skincare business. If she married Chen Jianshe, it would be a powerful alliance. Their future accomplishments might be even greater.’
The System also chimed in at this moment.
"Host, Chen Jianshe’s fortune is also quite good. Absorb it quickly."
With that, a look of absolute determination appeared in Xu Wenwan’s eyes as she gazed at Chen Jianshe.
Chen Jianshe: "..."
