Chapter 191: Ending the Lease
Hearing Old Mrs. Jiang’s words, Ding Yuejun immediately said from the side, "Aunt Jiang, there’s no such thing as too fast in these matters. When the time is right, it naturally falls into place. Yiyi likes Xiao Gu, and Xiao Gu is very good to Yiyi, so they are perfectly fine as they are."
Old Mrs. Jiang paused for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head and walked away without saying anything more.
After Old Mrs. Jiang left, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but frown and say to her daughter, "This matter is really... Even if Xueluo likes you, shouldn’t he first ask you how you feel? Instead, the elders in his family take turns involving themselves, and now it seems like you’re at fault."
Although Old Mrs. Jiang didn’t say much, from her last sentence, it was clear that she thought it was wrong for Yiyi to fall for someone else so quickly. But there’s no rationale like that.
Feeling completely relaxed, Yiyi looked at her mother and said, "Mom, since we’ve made it clear, Grandma Jiang and the others will surely understand."
"Let’s hope so."
Ding Yuejun shook her head somewhat helplessly, feeling that the situation had become quite complicated.
When Old Mrs. Jiang arrived home, Shen Jiahui quickly ran up and asked, "Mom, how did it go? Did you run into Yiyi when you went to the clothing store today?"
"I did."
Old Mrs. Jiang nodded, then shook her head, "Unfortunately, Yiyi already likes someone else."
"What... How come they never mentioned this before?" Shen Jiahui found it hard to believe, "Could it be that Yiyi doesn’t like our Xueluo and made this up on purpose?"
"At first, I thought that too, but Yue Jun knows the person, so it can’t be fabricated. Anyway, our Xueluo has no chance now." Old Mrs. Jiang felt unsettled, as Jiang Xueluo was her most proud grandson, yet the relationship was over even before it started, which was rather vexing to think about.
Hearing this, Shen Jiahui couldn’t help but say, "What’s with this Yiyi, already having someone she likes? She just finished the college entrance exams not long ago. Could it be that she liked another boy since high school? That’s really not good."
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Jiang Xueluo came out of the room. Seeing his grandmother back, he eagerly asked, "Grandma, what did Yiyi say?"
Seeing the hopeful look on her grandson’s face, Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly didn’t know what to say, finally only able to say, "Xueluo, when you go to college, you’ll meet many outstanding girls, so it’s better to wait until then to find someone."
Hearing this, Jiang Xueluo understood everything, but he felt it was hard to accept.
"Grandma, did you ask her why? Is there something wrong with me, which is why she doesn’t like me?"
Seeing her son like this, Shen Jiahui’s heart ached.
"Son, it’s not that you’re not good enough, it’s just that Mo Yiyi already has someone she likes. She’s still so young and thinking about dating, so you should stop thinking about her."
Hearing this, Jiang Xueluo’s mind flashed an image of a person he’d seen before, catching a glimpse of Yiyi talking to a young man. Could it be... that man is the one Yiyi likes?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueluo felt miserable. If it really was that man, it seemed he stood no chance; even he had to admit that the man was outstanding. "Grandma, Mom, I’m going back to my room."
"Xueluo..."
However, Jiang Xueluo ignored his mother’s call and walked straight to his room.
Seeing her son like this, Shen Jiahui felt a burning anger inside her.
"Our Xueluo rarely likes someone, but as a result, he ends up so sad. Yiyi really went too far; what’s wrong with our Xueluo? Besides, our family has helped their mother and daughter duo a lot, and yet they feel no sense of gratitude."
Old Mrs. Jiang quickly interrupted her daughter-in-law, saying, "Jiahui, you shouldn’t say that."
"Why not? Whether it was you renting them the house or Dad helping certify the medicine pills for Yiyi’s pharmacy, all these were big favors. They don’t care about it at all and probably take it for granted; otherwise, they wouldn’t do such a ruthless thing."
Though Old Mrs. Jiang felt uncomfortable, she knew the difference between right and wrong.
"But Yiyi saved the old man previously, so you shouldn’t say these things anymore."
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Shen Jiahui wanted to argue further, but in the end, she swallowed her words. They should indeed remember this favor, but no matter what, her anger only grew, and she held a considerable grudge against Yiyi and her mother.
Originally Yiyi thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the next day, Shen Jiahui also came to the clothing store.
As soon as Shen Jiahui entered, she saw Yiyi and Ding Yuejun, but she didn’t say anything, only frowned and said, "The noise from your sewing machine is too loud; I can hear it next door, so please lower the volume. This is a residential area after all, and it’s indeed unsettling to suddenly open a clothing store here."
Ding Yuejun didn’t expect Shen Jiahui to say such a thing, surprise written all over her face.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, as it really was a residential area, and opening a clothing store might indeed cause some disturbance.
Yiyi was also at the clothing store today, initially planning to see if she could help, but ended up encountering this matter as soon as she came in. "Aunt, rest assured, we will take care."
Seeing Yiyi’s indifferent expression, Shen Jiahui felt even angrier.
Her son was now sad all day, while Mo Yiyi seemed fine, acting as if nothing happened, making Xueluo appear all the more pitiful by comparison.
"When the old woman rented the house to you, it was for living purposes, but you don’t seem to live there anymore and opened a clothing store instead. I’ve heard a lot of people come and go, causing disturbances so be mindful in the future." After saying this, Shen Jiahui left directly.
After she left, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but sigh, saying, "It seems like a rift has formed between our two families."
Meanwhile, Yiyi started thinking about the clothing store issue.
"Mom, we should rent another place, not this one."
Since Shen Jiahui said so, they didn’t need to insist on renting it here. There were definitely other good locations and homes on the street. They hadn’t canceled the lease before because this courtyard was genuinely nice, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were nice people. But now, with such an incident between the two families, and Jiang Family holding a grudge against them, staying was no longer a must.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Ding Yuejun hesitated a bit and said, "Should we really cancel the lease?"
"If Shen Jiahui comes every day to say things like that, we won’t be able to continue with the clothing store."
Thinking about Shen Jiahui’s earlier attitude, Ding Yuejun finally made up her mind, "Yes, we should cancel the lease."
