Contrary to the twisted expression on the face of Mother Chen, Chen Chu Chu who was sending the Fi family off had a very gentle expression on her face. With her good attitude and the holy mother-like smile on her face, she was a sharp contrast to Li Wenyi whose entire face seemed as if it was frozen.
Because Chen Chu Chu was very popular in the military district because of her charity and good deeds, many people turned to look at her as soon as she walked out of her house. In addition, Fu Shu Chang was a well-known researcher as well, when the two of them were together it was inevitable for the people around them to stare.
More importantly, the news that Fu Shu Chang's wife came to the military district was also flying around causing the gossipers to pay special attention to the pair.
Many women in the military district sympathised with Chen Chu Chu who was dumped by Fu Shu Chang because of the pressure that he received from his family. Additionally, Mother Chen went around the military district and would tell her woes to the wives of the military officers.
Mother Chen believed firmly that there was nothing wrong with her daughter, if anything it was the Old master Fu who was too narrow-minded and looked down on her daughter whose engagement was broken once.
Women would of course sympathize with Chen Chu Chu when they were told how Old master Fu acted like a tyrant and separated two lovers all because he was old fashioned and did not want a woman who was abandoned to be his daughter-in-law.
Thus, when the people of the district saw Chen Chu Chu lower her head and even apologize to the Old master Fu and his family, they started to gossip among them.
Old master Fu acted as if he could not see them at all, he was from the older generation if he was to get into a squabble with the younger ones, it will only make things worse for him. In fact, when his own grandson was at fault what can he even do?
As he thought about this, he glared at Fu Shu Chang, since this stupid boy knew that he could not marry this girl, why did he not keep his distance from her? If he had done that then at least their reputation wouldn't have been affected like this!
" We will be leaving now then," Old master Fu did not want to stay at the Chen mansion anymore, it was fine for Chen Chu Chu and her sister to see them off at the gate.
" Wait, Brother Chang!" The Fu family turned to leave when Chen Chu Chu suddenly spoke from behind causing everyone around them to turn and look at her.
Chen Chu Chu sheepishly smiled at the onlookers and then walked over to Fu Shu Chang as she apologised very sincerely, " Brother Chang, I know that you must have felt really uncomfortable with mother acting overbearingly like that, but I swear I had no idea that she was going to do something like this."
After that, she gasped as if she just realised that Li Wenyi was next to Fu Shu Chang and immediately smiled awkwardly, " No matter what my mother might have told you, sister-in-law, I swear I and Brother Chang are innocent. It's just that my mother hasn't let go of the past, and her actions might have made you and your family suffer. Although I have already apologised to you sister-in-law, I still feel bad. I promise I will make it up to you, in the future please ignore my mother. She is getting old and her temper is getting worse day by day, I hope what she did today won't make you misunderstand."
With these words, Chen Chu Chu cleared herself of the suspicions that were targeted at her. After all, she was at the research centre and so was Chen Xi, the two sisters returned home just now and from their actions, it seemed like they had nothing to do with what Mother Chen did and if Li Wenyi continued to hold it against Chen Chu Chu, the one who would look wrong in this case was, of course, Li Wenyi.
She was an outsider in the military district and she was also the woman who broke off a good relationship and married Fu Shu Chang who was in love with Chen Chu Chu, if she was to take her anger out on Chen Chu Chu, she would be the one who would look unreasonable.
Though Li Wenyi had a lot of grievances against the Chen sisters, she could not show the grudge she was holding in front of everyone.
Li Wenyi felt slightly upset seeing how she has to suffer again when she felt Song Yan pinch her on the waist, a bit surprised she turned to look at Song Yan who stared back at her innocently but continued to pinch her.
How could Li Wenyi not understand what Song Yan was telling her? She turned her head and indifferently glanced at Chen Chu Chu and said, " There is no need for Miss Chen to apologize, I trust my husband and I know that he will never do anything to let me down!
Chen Chu Chu's face stiffened when she heard Li Wenyi's words even though she hated to admit it what, Li Wenyi said was indeed the truth. She has been trying to win over Fu Shu Chang for a very long time but the latter has not once made a move on her!
Though these words of Li Wenyi were enough to drive Chen Chu Chu mad, the latter still hitched up her lips and acted as if she did not hear what Li Wenyi said to her and very gently spoke, " I understand sister-in-law, I am happy to see that your relationship with Brother Chang did not worsen because of me."
