her eyebrows and eyes resembled Wang Miaoshuang’s, making it easy to identify their familial relation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, Bai Ruozhu felt a surge of distaste towards this young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m Wang ZhenRu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was passing by the Commerce Association and happened to hear about your arrival in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to come over to visit you,” Wang ZhenRu giggled, her voice leaning towards the coquettish side, “During the New Year, my aunt sent me a waistband from your home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then I’ve been curious to see the ingenious person who crafted it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Miss Wang’s remarks mirrored those of Eldest Miss Leng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visibly annoyed Leng Wanhua shot a glare at Wang ZhenRu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, ‘Don’t hit a person who is smiling at you.’ Not wanting to offend the Wang family upon her arrival, Bai Ruozhu could only laugh and say, “Miss Wang, please take a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s have some tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang ZhenRu acted as if she’d just noticed Leng Wanhua and said with a hint of surprise, “Even the distinguished Miss Wanhua is here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have never thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Bai is a distinguished guest of our Leng Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only proper for me to welcome her myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never thought Miss Wang would be so well-informed,” Leng Wanhua retorted under the cover of a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the heat on her cheeks, Wang ZhenRu’s face flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was obviously embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her made-up excuse was a bit of a stretch and she was known for her persistence, she was not willing to back down, especially not to Leng Wanhua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, Lamei brought the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she didn’t know that another guest had arrived, only two cups had been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu asked them to drink first while she asked Lamei to pour her another cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of tea is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s really delicious!” Wang ZhenRu sipped the tea and exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her excitement was quite exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng, who was playing with a toy his father made in Bai Ruozhu’s arms, startled at Wang ZhenRu’s outburst, and the toy slipped out of his hands and fell to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his toy, Dengdeng was unhappy and began to cry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang ZhenRu’s face turned red as she said, “I’ll get it, I’ll get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went down to pick up the toy, and in doing so, her whole head lowered considerably, exposing all her jewelry right in front of Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bai Ruozhu could react, Dengdeng’s swift little hand reached out and yanked off one of Wang ZhenRu’s pearl hairpins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…” Wang ZhenRu let out a low cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hairpin had brushed against her hair when it was pulled out, disturbing her entire hairstyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dengdeng!” Bai Ruozhu scolded in a low voice, “You naughty boy, it’s not right to take others’ belongings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt a bit awkward at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the scolding was just or not, Dengdeng was still a little kid and didn’t understand much about manners yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not to acknowledge this somewhat impolite gesture also seemed improper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up to find that the culprit was a small child, Wang ZhenRu suppressed her anger and masked her irritation with a smile, saying, “This child is quite clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just thinking about giving him a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this just perfect if he likes it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu snatched the pearl hairpin from Dengdeng regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things were not suitable for children to play with; what if this sharp thing stabbed him or worse, he put it in his mouth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kids often don’t understand things well, I hope this didn’t bother you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Dengdeng can’t have the hairpin, you should wear it again.” Bai Ruozhu handed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang ZhenRu accepted the hairpin without a word, casually inserted it back into her hair, and handed Bai Ruozhu a brocade box, “Since I am not allowed to gift the child, I have a present for you instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you won’t think less of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took the box and gave it a quick look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mocking smile crept onto her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she become some sort of prized possession?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the Wang Family trying to accomplish with these gifts?\u003C\u002Fp>",1439,"2026-05-30T14:09:10.984Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","0818c9bf0df5d086ba68b50cb3e1efa4e490cd26ab77b4bc474b40223e17c9b5","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-737","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-735",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
