Chapter 250: Don't Even Think About Entering the Lu Family's Door

"You really are dreaming," Si Rong said with a laugh, retorting.

Sun Chanjuan:...

Suddenly, she felt completely unwell; she couldn't even maintain her smile.

How could Si Rong speak like that? She didn't give her any face at all as a senior sister.

"Si Rong, I know your family is well-off, but my husband's business has been doing quite well lately too," Sun Chanjuan boasted. "To tell you the truth, those hardware stores of ours earn several hundred thousand a year!"

Impressive, right?

Si Rong:...

It wasn't even as much as the pocket change from her annual rent and interest.

"Besides, we know each other's roots. I only have one son, Lu Fei, and I would never let him marry those rural girls who dream of flying onto a branch to become a phoenix. Plus, your Si Yu likes my Lu Fei!"

This was the trump card Sun Chanjuan believed she held.

Since ancient times, an arm could not twist a thigh; as long as Jiang Siyu liked her Lu Fei, no matter how much Si Rong opposed it, it would be useless.

"My Si Yu is young and naive. She likes her brother, and she likes many of her classmates too. A child's temperament is unpredictable; she might like someone today and stop liking them tomorrow."

Si Rong didn't leave much room for maneuver in her speech; there was no need to be polite to a guest as self-righteous as Sun Chanjuan.

How could life be the same regardless of who one lived with?

She had two marriages in her life and understood this better than anyone.

No matter what, she would never let her daughter follow in her footsteps.

Sun Chanjuan:...

Go ahead and be stubborn. She would wait for the day Si Rong came begging to sit down and discuss the children's affairs with her.

But by then, she wouldn't be as easy to talk to as she was today.

Moreover, Si Rong was not the elegant and polite young lady she had imagined; as it was almost noon, Si Rong didn't even keep the mother and son for lunch.

On the way back, Sun Chanjuan angrily said to her son, "You give that Jiang Siyu the cold shoulder for a while! Her mother dares to look down on our family, so don't expect her daughter to get any good treatment!"

Lu Fei:...

"Why should I give her the cold shoulder?" He was very confused by his mother's actions today.

"Just because her mother dared to snub your old mother! I told you not to pay her any mind, why aren't you listening?"

"She doesn't really pay me much mind anyway," Lu Fei said matter-of-factly. "Besides, you deserved it when she snubbed you. Her daughter is only in middle school, and you went over there talking about marriage; it's a sign of a good temper that she didn't hit you."

Sun Chanjuan:...

What kind of thing had she given birth to? Why was he specifically working against her?

"You wretch! I'm doing this for your own good!"

Sun Chanjuan said bitterly; if a girl with Jiang Siyu's conditions wasn't secured early, it wouldn't be easy to get her later.

Since she liked her son, it would be easy to succeed if they just used their brains.

Many girls could get married and have children after they started menstruating in high school.

"Mom is doing this for your own good. Taking a wife is a very important matter, more important than school."

Sun Chanjuan said, "We only have you as a son, isn't everything in this house yours?"

"If you could get married early and settle down, wouldn't it be great for your career to reach a higher level later?"

With the Jiang Family's financial power and connections, she believed it wouldn't be difficult.

Lu Fei didn't say anything more.

"From today on, you are not allowed to be alone with Lu Fei," Si Rong instructed her daughter sternly. "And, you are not allowed to have any contact with this Sun Chanjuan."

She was very angry, of course not at her daughter, but at Sun Chanjuan.

If her daughter refused to listen to her, Si Rong thought, it might be necessary to let her daughter suffer a little hardship in advance.

For example, making her do her own laundry and cooking, so she could feel in advance the potential grinding she might face if she married into the Lu Family.

She was not as broad-minded as her mother; even though her mother was dissatisfied with Shen Lan back then, she still let Wang Ma continue to accompany and take care of her after she married into the Shen family.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, the reason she hadn't noticed anything unusual in her twenty-year marriage was because her mother, her brother, and Wang Ma had always taken care of her, keeping her stable and happy.

But she would not let her daughter marry into the Lu Family.

Sun Chanjuan was clearly someone who returned kindness with enmity and was definitely not a good person.

Fortunately, Jiang Siyu nodded and agreed.

She also disliked Sun Chanjuan, with a dislike that had no origin.

"The most important thing for you right now is your studies," Si Rong felt that studying was very important. "Since you promised Mom, Mom believes you can do it."

Jiang Siyu knew that Mom was doing it all for her own good.

And soon, rumors of a romance between Lu Fei and Yao Xiaotang spread through the school.

Some classmates said they saw them kissing deep in the small woods, and others said Lu Fei had even written a love letter to Yao Xiaotang.

In any case, the rumors were told with vivid detail.

As for this news, after the initial heartache, Jiang Siyu let it go very quickly.

She was never interested in other people's things, and men were no exception.

Yao Xiaotang had actually spent some effort to win over Lu Fei.

During this time, she had tried repeatedly to connect with Jiang Sinian but failed; disappointed, she had to settle for the next best thing and win over Lu Fei first.

Strangely enough, Lu Fei had actually been quite cold toward her during this time, not as easy to manipulate as before.

Yao Xiaotang used a bit of a beauty trap to finally hook Lu Fei.

Her grades were poor to begin with, so it didn't matter whether she went to high school or not, and university was even more hopeless; if she found a rich person in the city early, she could enjoy a good life.

She just didn't expect that Sun Chanjuan would come looking for her.

It was still on the way home from school; at that time, she was walking side by side with Lu Fei, and even flashed a somewhat provocative smile when passing by Jiang Siyu and her brother.

Unexpectedly, the very next second, Sun Chanjuan slapped her across the face.

"You shameless little vixen! To think that at such a young age, you would dare to seduce my son!" Sun Chanjuan was furious; she had felt that her son had been acting strangely these past few days, grinning foolishly all day long as if he were simple-minded.

After following him for two days, she had finally caught them in the act.

The classmates were all startled.

Jiang Siyu was timid by nature, so she was pulled behind Jiang Sinian.

Also pulled behind Jiang Sinian at the same time was Jiang Yue; she pursed her lips, feeling a sense of sweetness in her heart.

It was also the first time Yao Xiaotang had encountered such a thing; she crouched on the ground, hugging her arms, and began to cry.

"Mom! What are you doing?" Lu Fei was speechless.

His action of blocking in front of Yao Xiaotang only further enraged Sun Chanjuan.

"What? Have your wings hardened? You eat my food and use my things, yet you dare to disobey me now!"

Sun Chanjuan was extremely overbearing; she did not notice that the Jiang Family siblings were present, and just glared fiercely at Yao Xiaotang, "Let me tell you! A country girl like you, full of schemes, will never even think about entering the doors of our Lu Family!"

She forcibly dragged Lu Fei along, "You are coming home with me!"

Leaving Yao Xiaotang alone, crouching where she was; not only was her cheek burning with pain, but she also felt incredibly humiliated.

Today, Sun Chanjuan had caused her to lose so much face in front of her classmates; how would she ever be able to hold her head high at school in the future!
