After exchanging a few words with Lin Xue, they said goodbye and parted ways. Jiang Tingxia seemed a little absent-minded along the way.

When she was about to enter the house, she was about to miss a step on the stairs. Li Changpu grabbed her arm and said with worry and complaint in his voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Tingxia thought for a moment before saying, "Did you see the man who was with Lin Xue just now? Did you feel that his back looked familiar?"

"That person seems to be Jia Ruiwen."

Li Changpu opened his eyes wide, "It's him!"

Jiang Tingxia: "And that child should also be his. The jade pendant on his neck is the one that Jia Ruiwen always wears."

Li Changpu: "You mean Jia Ruiwen already has a child."

He was surprised, "But he is not going to marry your sister."

Jiang Tingxia clapped her hands, feeling like she had escaped a disaster. "Yes, he had an affair with another woman and even had a child with her. But he kept it a secret and still wanted to get married. What a dirty man."

After hearing her scolding like that, Li Changpu finally felt relieved. It seemed that Jiang Tingxia really had no interest in that person anymore.

When we returned to the Jiang family, the atmosphere in the house was not very good and everyone looked trembling with fear.

"what happened?"

Jiang Tingxia asked.

Aunt Wu came over and whispered, "The Second Miss is angry again."

"Tomorrow is the engagement party. The Zhang, Wang and Li families have all responded to the invitation. I can't tell you. These are the three most prominent families in Wenhai. The second young lady is crying with the mistress."

Aunt Wu pulled Jiang Tingxia aside again and kindly reminded her, "You're hiding from the Second Miss. From what I heard from her, she's putting the blame on you again."

Jiang Tingxia had a bitter face, "Why should I care if others don't come to her engagement party?"

Wu Ma is one of the few elderly people who have been in the Jiang family for a long time and knows everything. She said, "The second young lady told the madam that it was because the old man didn't recognize her back then and only said that she was an adopted daughter. Those well-known families looked down on her because of this and didn't even come to her wedding banquet. Everyone thinks you are the eldest young lady of the Jiang family, so she must be angry with you."

Jiang Tingxia shook her head helplessly, not knowing what to say. Anyway, no matter what unhappy things Jiang Tinghe encountered, it would eventually fall on her head after a few twists and turns. It would be better to just say that her existence made Jiang Tinghe unhappy.

Jiang Tingxia was exhausted both physically and mentally after staying at the Jiang family. She thought it was time to leave. She wanted to go upstairs quickly and avoid the Jiang family, otherwise there would be another quarrel.

When Li Changpu heard Aunt Wu say that no one came to the engagement party, he immediately remembered what he had mentioned to Jiang Tingxia before. He asked Jiang Tingxia, "Have you told them to keep a low profile in the future?"

Jiang Tingxia nodded, with a bit of resentment on her face, "I said it, but they didn't believe me."

Li Changpu was somewhat helpless, "Other families don't even dare to attend the banquet, so they haven't realized that something is wrong."

Jiang Tingxia walked slowly, "Don't worry about them."

"them?"

Li Changpu asked in confusion, "Tingxia, I find that your relationship with your family is very strange."

Jiang Tingxia's heart skipped a beat and he replied, "It's not strange. What's so strange about it?"

Li Changpu: "You know your future brother-in-law is having an affair outside, but you don't worry about your sister at all."

"Your family may suffer from something in the future. You know it's not a small matter, but it's not surprising that you don't seem to care about your family."

Jiang Tingxia walked aside and explained with his back to Li Changpu, "They treated me so badly, can't I be angry?"

Li Changpu still felt it was strange. "You don't care about their life or death. This is no longer just anger. It seems like you want to break up with your family."

The girl's voice was a little low. "So, you said this because you think I'm heartless? You think I'm a bad woman?"

Jiang Tingxia's thoughts were jumping so fast that Li Changpu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how she came to this conclusion.

Jiang Tingxia has been living a very conflicted life these days. She is also wondering whether what she is doing is right. There are villains fighting in her mind.

One said, they had already agreed not to delay or owe any money, and if they agreed to marry in substitution, they would pay it off. Besides, they had been advised before, so what could they do if they didn't listen?

Another said, aren’t you too cold-blooded and heartless to just watch the Jiang family commit suicide?

Jiang Tingxia walked away quickly, "Okay, okay, I was so angry just now, I just said that casually, how could I ignore them, I will talk to them about this matter again now."

Li Changpu stopped her, "That's not what I meant. I've seen clearly during this period that your family has been treating you badly. There's nothing wrong with you doing this."

He added, "Although this is your mother's home, it seems that you can't stay here any longer. And if things continue like this, something bad will happen to the Jiang family sooner or later."

Li Changpu analyzed in a straightforward manner, "Although Chazipo is not as prosperous as Wenhai, and the living conditions are not as good as here, it can at least guarantee your safety."

"It's better for you to come back with me than to stay here."

Jiang Tingxia listened to him, then blinked and looked at Li Changpu, "What else?"

"what?"

Jiang Tingxia was a little angry when her expectations were dashed, "You don't have anything else to say?"

Li Changpu was a little flustered, "Did you forget? This is what we talked about last time, and you said you would give me an answer."

Jiang Tingxia was furious and pushed him away, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

Seeing her like this, Li Changpu didn't dare to push her too hard, for fear that Jiang Tingxia would sentence him to death in a rage.

The two were making their beds and preparing to go to sleep when they heard a few loud noises and then colorful lights were reflected outside the window.

Jiang Tingxia stood by the window, pointing at the sky excitedly, her face flashing with colorful lights, very gorgeous, she shouted, "It's fireworks."

Li Changpu also stood over and watched.

The two followed the direction of the fireworks, trying to find where the fireworks were being set off.

It turned out that the source was in the Jiang family's yard.

Standing on the third floor, the two could vaguely see Jia Ruiwen holding a bunch of roses, looking at Jiang Tinghe, who was wearing a long dress, and kneeling on one knee.

Jiang Tingxia shrugged, and suddenly felt that the fireworks were boring. "So this is their proposal ceremony."

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia's reflection in the window. She went from being excited to feeling lost, and her eyes dimmed.

He stood about one meter behind her, looking at her profile and thinking, she was also the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, if he was not going to marry her, she should also have such a proposal ceremony.

Jiang Tingxia thought a little tiredly that when she met Jiang Tinghe tomorrow, she would definitely show off to her. She could even imagine the smug expression on her face.

But she thought again about what happened in the afternoon and what expression Jiang Tinghe had on her face when she found out that Jia Ruiwen already had a child.
