80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 155: Entering the House

Jiang Chunhe said, "That’s right, that’s right, sister-in-law, now there aren’t many people at home, so you don’t need to come, Jingming just told me to take you guys directly home."

When Jiang Chunhe said this, he did so with a straight face and no signs of nervousness.

Sang Yu looked at Jiang Jingming.

Jiang Jingming’s expression was as usual, without any change.

Sang Yu thought it was really Jiang Jingming’s idea.

Jiang Chunhe was relieved when he saw that Jiang Jingming didn’t speak up to refute him.

Sang Yu said, "But that’s not okay, isn’t there a lot at home that hasn’t been cleaned up yet?"

Jiang Chunhe: "No worries, sister-in-law, you don’t have to bother with that, I’ll clean it up myself."

The gas pedal under Jiang Chunhe’s foot didn’t dare to relax even a bit.

Who knows if Jiang Jingming would say something ambiguous in front of Wei Jin.

Even though he hadn’t done anything, right now Wei Jin couldn’t handle any kind of stress.

So Jiang Chunhe thought it was safer to take Jiang Jingming directly home.

Jiang Jingming knew Jiang Chunhe’s intentions, and actually, going back was good, after staying there for so many days, they should return.

But he still had his own restraint, of course, he wouldn’t say some unfounded things in front of Wei Jin.

After Jiang Chunhe sent Sang Yu and Jiang Jingming home, he hurriedly drove away.

Sang Yu was a bit confused, like a monk who can’t figure out the puzzle, "Didn’t you think cousin was acting a bit strange?"

While opening the door, Jiang Jingming said, "Maybe he’s just in a hurry to go back and tidy up."

Sang Yu muttered, "Then why didn’t he let us go back to help tidy up."

Jiang Jingming raised his hand to rub Sang Yu’s head, "Alright, stop thinking about it, didn’t you prepare so much for Auntie this morning? Aren’t you tired?"

It was better not to mention it, but after he said it, Sang Yu really did feel a bit tired.

"I am indeed tired." After Sang Yu finished speaking, she let out a big yawn.

Jiang Jingming smiled indulgently, "Go inside and take a nap."

Sang Yu nodded and walked into the house.

Jiang Jingming followed behind her and closed the door.

At the moment the door was closed, Xu Ru’an and Lu Yuan appeared there.

"Would you like to go see the lanterns together on the fifteenth?" Lu Yuan hesitantly asked when he got to the door.

Xu Ru’an’s eyes somewhat drifted, not daring to meet Lu Yuan’s gaze.

"Hmm."

"Okay, then I’ll come and pick you up then," Lu Yuan said.

Xu Ru’an nodded.

"Then go inside, it’s quite cold, don’t catch a cold," Lu Yuan said.

Xu Ru’an: "Got it, you head back too."

Lu Yuan: "I’ll watch you go in, then I’ll head back."

Xu Ru’an: "Then I’m going in first."

Lu Yuan: "Okay."

Lu Yuan watched Xu Ru’an enter the house.

After Xu Ru’an closed the door, Lu Yuan stood there for a little while longer, unable to help but smile before turning to leave.

As he turned, he ran into Xu Ru’an’s father, Xu Cheng.

"Hello, Uncle." Lu Yuan knew Xu Ru’an’s father but was still a bit flustered by the sudden meeting.

Xu Cheng looked at Lu Yuan, his sharp eyes assessing him from top to bottom.

Lu Yuan felt as though he was being scanned by something from head to toe.

"And you are?" Xu Cheng didn’t really recognize Lu Yuan.

It seemed he hadn’t met Lu Yuan before.

Lu Yuan explained, "Hello Uncle, I am Ru’an’s classmate, I came to take Ru’an home."

Xu Cheng was not a conservative person; young people having friends was very normal, and friends of the opposite sex were also normal.

Many were simply platonic friendships.

Xu Cheng understood, his stern expression softened a bit, "Oh, you’re Ru’an’s classmate, well, since you’re already here, come in for a bit."

Xu Cheng pulled Lu Yuan along as he spoke.

Since he was already at their doorstep, not inviting him in for a cup of tea would be impolite.

Lu Yuan declined, "No, Uncle, that’s not necessary."

"No need to be polite, come on in," Xu Cheng insisted, not allowing Lu Yuan to refuse.

Lu Yuan was led inside by Xu Cheng.

At that moment, Lu Yuan ceased resisting, oh well, let it happen, they would have to meet eventually anyway.

Aunt Fat saw Xu Cheng bring a young man back and asked in confusion, "And who is this?"

Just as Xu Cheng was about to speak, Lu Yuan introduced himself, "Hello Auntie, I am Ru’an’s classmate."

Xu Cheng said, "He brought Ru’an back, I saw him at the door and thought since he’s brought here, why not invite him in for a cup of tea."

Aunt Fat suddenly realized, "Of course, of course, little classmate, have a seat, I’ll get you some tea."

Lu Yuan, surprised by the hospitality, replied, "No need, Auntie, don’t trouble yourself."

"No trouble, no trouble, sit down, as for Ru’an, how come she didn’t just invite him in," Aunt Fat said while calling upstairs.

"Ru’an."

Lu Yuan heard Aunt Fat’s call and suddenly felt nervous, wondering if Xu Ru’an would be angry if she found him here.

As he was feeling apprehensive, Aunt Fat came over with water.

"Are you and Ru’an in the same department?" Xu Cheng asked.

Lu Yuan explained, "No, Uncle, I’m..."

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Ru’an’s surprised voice interrupted, "How come you’re here?"

Seeing Lu Yuan sitting opposite Xu Cheng made Xu Ru’an incredibly tense.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to explain, Aunt Fat looked at Xu Ru’an with mild reproach, "You child, really, he brought you home and you didn’t even invite him inside, so impolite."

Lu Yuan hurriedly explained, "No, Auntie, it’s not Ru’an’s fault, I chose not to come in."

Xu Ru’an pursed her lips and said nothing.

Aunt Fat: "No need to be so formal, since you’re classmates, you’re welcome to visit, you don’t have to be so polite."

Lu Yuan: "Thank you, Auntie."

Xu Ru’an looked at Lu Yuan somewhat nervously.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan downed the cup of tea in one go, and then said, "Uncle, Auntie, I have something to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further; I’ll come visit properly another time."

Actually, the important reason Lu Yuan didn’t come in initially was because he hadn’t prepared anything.

It felt too informal and impolite.

Aunt Fat: "Would you like to stay for a meal before leaving? It’s already prepared."

Lu Yuan shook his head, "No, thank you, Auntie, really, I’m fine."

Seeing this, Aunt Fat couldn’t insist further.

"Ru’an, see your classmate out."

Xu Ru’an’s eyes were evasive, showing a hint of guilt, "Alright."

Lu Yuan did not refuse, and after saying goodbye to Xu Cheng, he left with Xu Ru’an.

"This classmate is quite nice-looking," Aunt Fat remarked, watching their retreating figures.

Xu Cheng smiled.

Aunt Fat turned her head, puzzled, "What are you smiling about?"

Xu Cheng deliberately maintained a mysterious air, "Smiling at you."

"What’s there to smile at me for?" Aunt Fat put her hands on her hips, as if she wouldn’t let Xu Cheng off without a good answer.

Xu Cheng chuckled softly; after all these years, her bluff had not changed at all.
