Chapter 1079: Use Your Brain and Don't Get Fooled Again

~4 min read 722 words

Fu Yan Cheng had never intended to leave any furniture behind; all these pieces had been crafted according to Liu Chuxue's preferences: "Leave everything to me."

Liu Chuxue packed the items from the dressing table into the washbasin: "Then I'll go open the door first; you finish packing and come over."

Fu Yanwan saw her sister-in-law carrying the washbasin to leave: "Fourth Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

Liu Chuxue stopped and looked at her: "Didn't you say you'd accompany Mom and Dad to meet Ren Jiangfeng's aunt at noon?"

Hearing her fourth sister-in-law's words, Fu Yanwan finally remembered the day's main task: "It doesn't matter; the appointment is for noon anyway, and it's still early."

Liu Chuxue thought it made sense: "Come with me to get familiar with the place, but don't do any work; otherwise, when Ren Jiangfeng arrives and sees you looking like Cinderella, I won't know how to explain."

Fu Yanwan felt a bit shy: "Fourth Sister-in-law, what are you saying? If he were truly that shallow, I'd definitely reconsider our relationship."

But no sooner had she spoken these words than a voice sounded at the main gate: "Xiao Wan."

Hearing that voice, Fu Yanwan was immediately embarrassed.

Ren Jiangfeng stood at the main gate, smiling faintly as he looked at her.

Seeing her younger sister-in-law's expression, Liu Chuxue burst out laughing: "A little girl who says one thing but means another; alright, since he's here, hurry up and get on with your business."

Fu Yanwan stole a glance at Ren Jiangfeng; seeing he wasn't angry, she said: "Jiangfeng, I was just about to go with my fourth sister-in-law to her new home to get familiar with the place; do you want to come?"

Ren Jiangfeng truly liked Fu Yanwan and couldn't bear to make her unhappy: "As long as you don't keep thinking about reconsidering our relationship, whatever you say goes."

Fu Yan Cheng happened to be carrying something out and heard this future brother-in-law's bold declaration: "Little Sister, don't just listen to what he says; watch what he does. Use your brain and don't get fooled again."

Those words carried a clear implication.

Ren Jiangfeng knew his future fourth brother-in-law's words were meant for him, but he indeed had been at fault first: "Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"

Liu Chuxue knew that after today's meeting between her in-laws and Ren Jiangfeng's aunt, their marriage would likely be finalized: "We're preparing to move today."

Ren Jiangfeng didn't quite understand: "Move? Move where?"

Liu Chuxue knew family scandals shouldn't be aired publicly; although the Eunuch had said it wasn't a scandal for them to move out, she, as a daughter-in-law, couldn't be the one to say it: "I have a courtyard not far from here; it was cleaned up earlier, but I haven't lived there yet."

"I was thinking that since the house had been unoccupied for too long, it wouldn't be good, so I decided to move in."

Ren Jiangfeng didn't doubt Liu Chuxue's words: "Then I'll help too."

Before Fu Yan Cheng could respond, he followed them into the house.

Fu Yanwan followed behind her: "Why did you come so early?"

While helping carry things out, Ren Jiangfeng replied: "I was thinking that after lunch we'd return to the farm, so I came to see if you needed anything else; that way, I could buy it at the Department Store building beforehand and bring it along."

Fu Yan Cheng and his wife's new household didn't have many belongings; aside from the furniture, everything could be loaded onto a single flatbed cart.

Fu Yan Cheng didn't want to be a third wheel, nor did he want them to be third wheels for him and his wife: "Alright, there isn't much work here; hurry up and get on with your own business so you won't run out of time later."

Liu Chuxue smiled and smoothed things over: "Let them come along to get familiar with the place before leaving; otherwise, next time they return to Huicheng, they might not even find our home."

Fu Yan Cheng thought the distance wasn't far anyway, so he didn't object.

Liu Chuxue carried the washbasin, Fu Yan Cheng pulled the flatbed cart, and Fu Yanwan and Ren Jiangfeng helped by lightly supporting it; the four of them walked out the door together.
