Jiang Wen was scheming and unwilling to follow Xia Yun home just like that. This year, Jiang Wen was in her senior year of high school. Her grades were poor, and she just muddled through school. It was not a good school, and the learning atmosphere was not great either. In such an environment, Jiang Wen started dating early, with her mind filled with thoughts of love. Today, by chance, she saw Lu Zechuan, and now all she could see when she closed or opened her eyes was Lu Zechuan’s handsome face. If she went back now, she would probably have insomnia tonight! "You go back. I’m going to hang out with my friends!" Jiang Wen left this sentence behind and ran towards the amusement park exit without caring about Xia Yun’s reaction. Xia Yun reached out but failed to grab her. When she tried to grab her again, Jiang Wen had already run far away. Xia Yun was so anxious that her face turned pale. Previously, with the support of the Song Family, the Jiang Family could treat her better. Now, with Song Juan and Xia Jianguo having divorced, the Jiang Family could no longer benefit from Xia Yun, and their attitude towards her took a 180-degree turn. After so many years of marriage, she only had one daughter, Jiang Wen, and her husband’s family had already held resentment against her. If something were to happen to her only daughter, the Jiang Family would not hesitate to kick her out of the house! Xia Yun dared not be careless and hurried to chase after Jiang Wen. On the other side, Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian left the amusement park together and found a homestyle restaurant to eat. The restaurant was doing well, and private rooms had been booked out early. Lu Zechuan wanted to find another place, but Xia Mian didn’t mind, "It’s fine, we’ll eat in the main hall! Since this restaurant is doing so well, the food should be decent too." Seeing that Xia Mian didn’t care about such details, Lu Zechuan found a corner of the restaurant to sit. Afterwards, the two of them started ordering from the electronic menu. After ordering, they began to chat. Lu Zechuan wasn’t a talkative person, but with Xia Mian, it seemed like he could never finish talking. "When is your birthday?" Lu Zechuan’s gaze landed on Xia Mian as he casually asked. Xia Mian replied offhandedly, "January 1st." Lu Zechuan raised his brows and smiled, "New Year’s Day?" Xia Mian smiled slightly, "The start of the New Calendar year, and also my birthday." Lu Zechuan smiled thoughtfully, "That’s easy to remember." Xia Mian merely hummed and didn’t continue the topic. After January 1st, she would be nineteen years old. While they were talking, a couple at the next table started arguing. Their quarrel was so loud that Xia Mian couldn’t help but hear every detail of it, despite not wanting to pay attention. "Wu Yong, all I’m asking is to add my name to the property deed, is that too much?" The girl’s voice was sharp, her face full of grievance. Opposite the girl was a man with a rogue appearance who scolded in a low voice, "Who do you think you are? My parents bought the house, why should your name be on it?" "Wu Yong, we’re getting married! Your family buys the house, and I pay for the furniture and renovation. Is it too much to ask to have my name on the deed?" The girl gazed indignantly at Wu Yong, trying to reason with him. "My parents bought the house, and you want your name on it? You wish!" Wu Yong sneered. "Do you think I’m after your money?" The girl’s voice quivered, full of disbelief. Wu Yong snorted coldly, "If not for money, why insist on having your name on the deed? We’re getting married, why are you so calculating?" "Wu Yong! What am I calculating? I just want my name on the deed because I lack confidence in our relationship and seek assurance... why am I so despicable in your words?" The girl’s voice rose, as if her character had been insulted. Wu Yong rolled his eyes with disdain, "You don’t trust me! If you can’t trust me, there’s no need for this marriage. Get lost!" Wu Yong showed no respect for women, cursing, "You idiot, marry me or not, it’s up to you!" Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan frowned at the same time. A man can be crude, but not towards a woman. A man who is crude to a woman only shows his incompetence. Xia Mian slowly turned her head to take a look, and upon recognizing the girl, she paused—it was an acquaintance. Xie Yun, who had stood up for Gu Xuan at a Gu Family banquet, barking at her insolently. As expected, this woman doesn’t have much sense. Even when being scolded directly, she just felt wronged, without getting angry. "Wu Yong, what are you saying!" Xie Yun sniffed, appearing pitiful, "We’ve come this far, and you still doubt my sincerity?" "Sincerity my ass!" Wu Yong cursed outright, "Your sincerity is calculating against my family even before we’re married?" "What am I calculating about you?!" Xie Yun’s voice cracked, "No matter how poorly the Xie Family does, would we care about the Wu Family’s few assets?" "You idiot, who are you looking down on?!" Wu Yong slammed his chopsticks on the table, glaring, and started spouting profanities. Xie Yun bit her lip and dared not speak. Xia Mian couldn’t bear to watch Wu Yong being so aggressive and vulgar, and she turned back to coldly say to Xie Yun, "Are you cheap? Do you desperately need a man? You’re putting up with his endless cursing, and you still want to marry him? Did you forget your umbrella in the rain and let all the water get into your brain?" "What business is it of yours!" Xie Yun shouted at Xia Mian, "Mind your own business, nosy!" Xie Yun was so sad and her eyes were misty, coupled with her nearsightedness, that she didn’t even see clearly who was scolding her. Xia Mian chuckled lightly, "It’s none of my business, anyway, I’m not the one who will end up dead after being cursed and domestically abused in a marriage!" After saying this, Xia Mian turned around and ignored Xie Yun. Back at the Gu Family, Xia Mian had examined Xie Yun’s facial features, seeing a troubled romantic path, a thin child palace, a face with bad omens. Not a good match she’d met—no children after marriage, her husband would cheat, be abusive, and might even kill her... She had said what she should, but good advice is hard to accept for someone doomed to calamity. If Xie Yun wouldn’t listen, what could she do? After Xia Mian spoke, Wu Yong wasn’t pleased, and he turned around to throw a bottle at Xia Mian. Judging by the force, it seemed he intended to bash a hole in Xia Mian’s head! Without turning around, Xia Mian’s hands moved like lightning, gripping the bottle by its neck firmly, and in the next instant, she still didn’t turn her head, instead throwing the bottle back with a flick! Wu Yong couldn’t dodge in time and got hit squarely by the bottle! Instantly, blood streamed down his head!
