Can't Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 999 - He Owes Me

Chapter 999: He Owes Me

“We’re from the same county,” Jiang Yao replied.

Then, she turned her head to look at Chen Lanying. When she heard what Chen Lanying said, Jiang Yao felt really angry. Why would she hope that Jiang Yao was as miserable as her? Chen Lanying’s heart was really wicked!

“That’s not a good example. When I got married, I learned to see my husband for who he was, so I would never be in this situation. My husband will treat our future children as treasures.” Chen Lanying could infuriate other people, but Jiang Yao was not willing to admit defeat.

‘Fine, since you hope that I will be as miserable as you, then I will let you know how happy I am.’

“Yes, you may be the luckiest woman in the county; all of us are envious of your life.” Chen Lanying carried her child and walked toward Jiang Yao. “Lu Xingzhi loves you and dotes on you. Auntie Lu protects you as if you were her own daughter. The Lu family is rich and powerful. Since you care so much for this child, then you can have him.”

“You—” Jiang Yao was extremely shocked. She did not expect Chen Lanying to say such words.

“Anyway, the Lu family is rich. You don’t lack the money to raise a child, nor do you lack money to treat the child’s illness. Didn’t you say that Lu Xingzhi treats you very well? Since he will treat a child like a treasure, then I will give this treasure to you.” Chen Lanying sneered. “If it weren’t for my engagement with Lu Xingzhi, Lu Weihua wouldn’t suspect that the child wasn’t his. Coincidentally, he thinks that this is Lu Xingzhi’s child. He owes me this, and you are his wife. So it is only right that you help him.”

“You’re a lunatic!” Jiang Yao took a step backward to avoid the child that Chen Lanying tried to force on her. “You and Lu Xingzhi were engaged, but you were the one who broke the engagement. The Lu family didn’t ask your family for anything. You should know very well who owes whom!”

Jiang Yao called out to Mrs Lin and the others, “Let’s go eat somewhere else. This place makes me so anxious that I can’t eat!”

“Yes! It’s too boring to wait like this. My stomach can’t take it anymore,” Mrs Yang replied quickly before they left the shelter.

The four of them left the noodle shop and went to find a fast food restaurant for their lunch. After they finished eating, Mrs Lin asked Jiang Yao, “That woman was engaged to Sergeant Lu? How did he get engaged to such a woman?”

“Sergeant Lu was engaged to someone in the past?” Mrs Yang was shocked. It turned out that the woman had told the truth.

Very few people in the army knew that Lu Xingzhi was engaged before he married Jiang Yao. Colonel Lin knew because he was on good terms with Lu Xingzhi and had dealings with Lu Xingzhi’s brothers.

“I’m not very clear about the specifics. I only know that it was the woman who had initiated the annulment. I heard that when Xingzhi was in the army, that woman was engaged to him, but she was also still with her current husband. The man who wanted to divorce her had been in contact with her during her engagement to Xingzhi. Then, she broke off their engagement and got married not long after that.”

Jiang Yao did not reveal Lu Xingzhi’s little trick to get Chen Lanying to withdraw from the engagement. Lu Xingzhi might have used a gimmick, but Chen Lanying was also in the wrong. On the one hand, she had occupied Lu Xingzhi’s reputation, and on the other hand, she was still in a relations.h.i.+p with Lu Weihua. As she looked at the bowl and pot, Jiang Yao really wanted to scold Chen Lanying.
