Jiang Miaoyan and Lingling saw the situation, but didn’t say anything, just quietly began searching through the items inside.
The aunt who followed them felt sowhat awkward witnessing the scene, unsure who to explain to from the sidelines.
"Hehe, there’s just too much stuff at ho, haven’t tidied up in a while, didn’t expect it to be so ssy," the aunt said with an awkward smile.
Chen Yang heard this and silently kept quiet.
After taking a look, he decisively went to help, assisting Jiang Miaoyan in moving heavy items and searching through things.
No one paid attention, so the aunt wasn’t embarrassed either.
She continued murmuring so words that seed to show concern for Jiang Miaoyan.
Questions like how Lingling was doing, how their life was recently, and so on.
Jiang Miaoyan told her about all these things.
After hearing that things have been going well lately, the aunt didn’t say much more and then subtly started inquiring about Chen Yang’s situation.
Because Chen Yang was right there, she couldn’t be direct, only able to test things out with so vague remarks.
Everyone was an adult, it was clear to understand what the aunt ant.
Jiang Miaoyan didn’t want to say much, ready to simply explain the situation, but before she could start, Chen Yang spoke up first.
"Haha, Auntie, don’t overthink it. Miaoyan flatters by calling Boss Chen. I just opened a simple clinic in the village, nothing impressive," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Ah? Just opened a clinic, really?" The aunt’s expression was particularly surprised upon hearing this.
Chen Yang nodded with a smile: "Yeah, just a small clinic, a ans to get by, barely counts as a small business owner."
Having said that, Chen Yang no longer paid attention to the aunt, and lowered his head again to help Jiang Miaoyan search for things in the miscellaneous room.
Once the aunt confird that Chen Yang was just a small business owner, any politeness on her face vanished instantly.
Her expression turned irritable, as if sothing suddenly blocked her chest.
At the sa ti, she instantly lost all interest in Chen Yang, her gaze directly moved to Jiang Miaoyan.
"Miaoyan, you should listen to your aunt’s advice, don’t treat her anymore. Lingling’s illness is incurable, don’t let anyone deceive you," the aunt suddenly said to Jiang Miaoyan.
The sudden comnt made Jiang Miaoyan, Lingling, and Chen Yang all freeze for a mont.
Obviously, they didn’t expect her to say sothing like that out of the blue.
"Auntie, Lingling is my sister. She’s sick; as her older sister, I should be responsible for her. Don’t try to persuade on this; I won’t give up," Jiang Miaoyan responded firmly after a brief hesitation.
The aunt’s face showed no change upon hearing this, seemingly used to Jiang Miaoyan’s response.
"Why are you so stubborn, girl? No matter how much I explain, you don’t listen. Leukemia has never been curable; no matter how much money you throw in, it’s a waste, you know?" the aunt shouted from the doorway.
In front of her aunt, Jiang Miaoyan was extrely cautious.
Upon hearing this, she didn’t retort but listened silently without reacting.
This was their family matter, so Chen Yang didn’t interfere either, standing by without speaking.
But the aunt wasn’t finished and continued talking, seeing Jiang Miaoyan ignoring her.
"The way you keep spending money on her, when do you expect to get married? Have you thought about that?" the aunt said, her face full of worry.
Chen Yang felt a bit surprised hearing this.
He thought the aunt seed to care about Jiang Miaoyan after all, even concerning herself with things like marriage.
But before Chen Yang could fully form this thought, it was completely wiped away by what the aunt said next.
"If you don’t get married, you probably won’t be able to pay back my money in this lifeti," the aunt said worriedly.
So after all that, she was worried about Jiang Miaoyan not paying back the money.
"Auntie, you don’t need to worry about that. Fifty thousand yuan isn’t too hard for ; I’ll try to pay you back this year," Jiang Miaoyan said calmly.
Currently, Jiang Miaoyan has a stable job, earning about ten thousand a month, so paying back fifty thousand isn’t difficult.
But the aunt knew nothing about Jiang Miaoyan’s current situation.
So she couldn’t believe Jiang Miaoyan could pay it back and thought she was just bluffing to stall her.
"Miaoyan, stop trying to act tough. Recently, your uncle and I discussed it and found soone for you. We think he’s quite suitable. When the ti is right, et him. If there’s no issue, get married. Settle down and don’t wander anymore," the aunt said after thinking.
Since entering, Jiang Miaoyan had been quite restrained.
But upon hearing this, she couldn’t stay calm anymore.
"Auntie, stop troubling yourself about . I’m not marrying anyone now, no need to find anyone," Jiang Miaoyan said, looking up and directly facing the aunt.
"Why are you so stubborn, girl?" The aunt got irritated imdiately when she saw Jiang Miaoyan refusing.
"Your uncle and I are doing this for your own good. You’re an adult, what are you waiting for to settle down with a family?"
"Do you plan to wait until you’re old and have no prospects, then marry soone with no money or ability?"
The aunt said irritably.
After saying all this, she suddenly put her hands on her hips, looking very domineering as she said, "When your parents passed, they entrusted you two sisters to , so in a way, I’m your guardian."
"So this matter isn’t open for negotiation; you must get married!"
"I just ssaged your uncle; he’ll soon be here with the guy to visit. Once you finish packing, also tidy yourself up, dress nicely."
The aunt smirked after saying this, then walked off holding a spatula.
The direction she went towards was the kitchen.
She was most likely going to cook.
After the aunt left, Jiang Miaoyan’s expression didn’t change, nor did she clarify her stance. She just continued packing.
This made Chen Yang quite puzzled.
He couldn’t figure out what Jiang Miaoyan was thinking.
Did she compromise with the aunt or not?
If not, why didn’t she say anything?
While Chen Yang pondered this, Jiang Miaoyan finished packing her bags.
"Boss Chen, let’s go back to Liuhe Village," Jiang Miaoyan said, carrying a large bag of clothes and looking up at Chen Yang.
"Uncle Chen Yang, let’s leave quickly. Don’t mind the aunt, she’s no good," Lingling said, shaking Chen Yang’s arm.
Chen Yang finally understood.
Jiang Miaoyan didn’t take the aunt’s words seriously at all, so there was no need to respond.
"Alright."
Chen Yang smiled, touching Lingling’s adorable cheek, then picked up two large bags, ready to leave with Jiang Miaoyan and Lingling.
Reaching the doorway, as he opened the door, the aunt in the kitchen noticed sothing was off.
She quickly turned off the stove, grabbed the spatula, and ca out of the kitchen.
Just in ti to see Chen Yang pulling the door open, preparing to leave with Jiang Miaoyan and Lingling.
Seeing this, the aunt instantly beca furious.
