Chapter 266 Ye Lian's Old Friend Helps Speak Up

This can't be kept secret, and they don't want to keep it a secret either.

Ye Lian said directly, "Yes, it was him. He and his friends were supposed to come to the wedding banquet last year, but our family broke off the engagement with the Lu family, so he left before even attending the banquet."

"Oh dear, Ye Lian, did he pin you to the ground again?"

Ye Lian paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Then he smiled and said, "Yes, our family and Xiao Fu's relationship can be described as a case of 'becoming friends after a fight'."

She defused the awkward situation by using Fu Huaiyi's words.

Her group of old friends thought Fu Huaiyi was handsome and, being Lu Jiangting's colleague, he must be quite good too.

That must be because his character is much better than Lu Jiangting's, otherwise Yuyao wouldn't be interested in him.

I'm just a little curious, how come Yuyao got together with Lu Jiangting's friend after breaking off their engagement?

They weren't surprised when someone asked the question.

Ye Lian stood in front of them, smiling as she explained to the group of old friends.

"Do you all remember when my Yuyao went to Nancheng last year, intending to completely break off this engagement?"

"Yes."

"You know, she's someone who's never left home before. How difficult would it be for her to go to such a far place by herself, where she doesn't know anyone or where to go?"

The older women nodded in agreement.

"Your Yuyao is really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go to such a far place. The farthest I've ever been is the city."

Another person said, "You're lucky. I'm not as good as you. I wouldn't dare go to the city alone. I only went once with my husband. I held onto his arm the whole time, afraid that I would get lost and not be able to come back."

Each of them chimed in, saying that it was truly remarkable that Lin Yuyao was able to single-handedly cause a scene and break off the engagement.

After discussing for a while, Ye Lian continued, "Later, Yu Yao met Xiao Fu. Xiao Fu was also there when we went to the Lu family to break off the engagement. He knew about our family and the Lu family's situation, so he helped find people and did a lot of work to finally get the engagement broken off."

"Oh, you became familiar with each other after a few visits?"

"Yes, it just so happens that the bookstore where Yuyao works belongs to his relative, so they naturally became acquainted after a while."

Ye Lian gave a brief explanation, and everyone finally understood how Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi met.

"Young man, Yuyao is someone we've watched grow up. She's a kind and innocent girl, so you must treat her well."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll definitely treat her well."

“You’re from out of town. She’s married so far away. She’ll be all alone at your house. What if she gets bullied by your family? There’ll be no one to help her.”

"Will not."

"Alright, alright, Auntie believes you won't, but we still need to say the unpleasant things upfront. Just take it as a joke, don't take it to heart, Auntie isn't targeting you."

Fu Huaiyi nodded repeatedly, "Auntie, please tell me."

“If she gets into a conflict with your family, you have to help her regardless of who is right or wrong. Help her first. If it is really her fault, then you can call her parents later to complain and have Dawei and Yelian teach her a lesson.”

Fu Huaiyi laughed and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, it won't happen."

"Don't say you don't know yet, let your aunt finish speaking. Your aunt has been through this, she understands all too well. Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law see each other every day, and there's no way they won't have conflicts. I'm telling you to help Yuyao no matter who's right or wrong, not to encourage you to be unfilial."

Why did she do this? Because she's gone all this way for you. You're a family; your mother has your father's help. Yuyao is all alone. If you don't help her, she'll be isolated and helpless, and no one will be able to help her. Don't you think that makes sense?

Fu Huaiyi couldn't get a word in edgewise until she finally finished speaking.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "Auntie is right, that makes sense, but I'm actually from out of town too."

what?

The other party didn't understand at first.

Fu Huaiyi added, "My parents live in our hometown, which is quite far from Nancheng. They won't be living with us in the future."

what?

She talked for so long, so it turns out they don't live together?

The aunt looked at Lin Yuyao.

Lin Yuyao nodded and said, "They have their own jobs in their hometown and won't live in Nancheng for long. We are both considered outsiders in Nancheng."

"Does this mean that after you get married, it'll just be the two of you living together?"

"Yes, maybe I'll take my parents in and take care of them when they get old, that's how it is for now."

"You look quite young, and your parents must be quite old too, right?"

"In his forties, he is still in relatively good health."

"Oh, they're just like Ye Lian and Dawei, it's the time for them to work hard."

They say distance makes things better, and not living together can save a lot of trouble.

After chatting for a while, the old ladies were about to leave, and Ye Lian saw them off at the courtyard gate.

The old friend who had been speaking up for Lin Yuyao earlier grabbed Ye Lian's hand and said, "I think this young man is better than the one from the Lu family. Look at the gifts he sent to your family, they've piled up on the table. The Lu family has never sent anything like this before, has they?"

Ye Lian nodded, thinking to herself that he was giving her nothing but two packets of fruit candy at most.

"From what I can tell, his parents both have jobs. The more money they earn now, the less of a burden they'll have to support Yuyao and the others in their old age."

"Yes."

"There are no other sons in the family, only a daughter. With fewer brothers and sisters, there are fewer conflicts, which is great."

These old women have thoroughly investigated Fu Huaiyi's family situation.

Ye Lian was very happy.

"Sister Wang, thank you so much!"

"What's the big deal? We've been sisters for so many years, and I watched Yuyao grow up. You can't bring it up directly, so of course I have to speak up for you."

Although Lin Yuyao will not live with Fu Huaiyi's parents in the future, she still needs to be reprimanded, since they live so far away.

Ye Lian wasn't saying she couldn't bring herself to say it, but it certainly wouldn't be as effective if her old friend said it.

……

Once Ye Lian's old friends found out, the news would soon reach Lu Jiangting's house.

Ye Lian said to Lin Yuyao with concern, "I'm afraid Lu Cong and Wang Cuilan will find out and cause a scene again."

Lin Yuyao said, "They already knew."

Ye Lian: "They found out?"

"Yes, Lu Jiangting's father went to Nancheng before, and they came to my place then, saying they wanted me to reconcile with Lu Jiangting."

Ye Lian: "Pah! I think they're just dreaming."

Since they already knew, and didn't say anything when they came back, they must have known they were in the wrong and were too ashamed to say anything.

That would save a lot of trouble.

……

That night, Fu Huaiyi was arranged to stay in Lin Ping's room. Fu Huaiyi looked around and saw that his room was the smallest in the house.

Lin Yuyao's room was not only larger than Lin Ping's, but also had a better bed, and there was a wardrobe and a dressing table in the room.

Then look at Lin Ping's. His small bed, which is at most 1.2 meters wide, takes up half of the space, along with a writing desk. That's all.

The wall was covered with nails; that was his wardrobe.

This shows that the Lin family does not discriminate against girls.

My older brother is married, and his room is undoubtedly the best.
