My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 274: Throw Oneself into One’s Arms

"Speak up!" Jianguo pulled his younger brother and sister into Tang Chuxia’s room.

Her room was comfortable and warm.

Jianjun spoke first, "Mr. Tang is being quite fake!"

Tang Chuxia agreed that it was obvious Mr. Tang was taking advantage of being drunk to cause trouble.

Jianbing continued, "He thinks he’s acting so convincingly, but he doesn’t realize how talkative he actually gets when he’s truly drunk!"

Talking about drunkenness seemed to give everyone authority, as they began to list Mr. Tang’s illustrious history.

"Is it possible that he just wants to reconcile with Mom because he’s afraid she might divorce him?" Tang Chuxia offered her perspective, only to be met with everyone’s disdain.

"Isn’t that quite obvious?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Through this topic, everyone began to ponder the issues between Madam Tang and Father Tang.

It’s rare for everyone to be together during the New Year, even if Third Brother isn’t here, the third sister-in-law is!

While everyone was sitting together discussing, suddenly the third sister-in-law asked, "Why do you all think the aunt and uncle might get a divorce?"

This question stumped everyone.

These days, divorces are not uncommon, especially in the past couple of years, but could the Tang Family really end up divorcing?

Jianjun scratched his head, "It just feels like something is off between them, and it would certainly be better if they didn’t divorce!"

Jianbing also nodded, "Even though Dad has his faults, almost having a concubine and all, he’s still our father, isn’t he?"

Jianguo rubbed his chin, the stubble that had just sprouted made him look somewhat experienced.

"It’s mainly because they can’t get along anymore!"

The third sister-in-law still thought that wasn’t the main reason, so she fixed her gaze on Tang Chuxia.

"I’m not getting involved. If my parents want to divorce, that’s their business, and we’re all grown up, we should respect all their decisions!" Tang Chuxia spoke quite officially, but she had almost thrown Father Tang out just moments ago.

Ah Duo came to call Jianguo back to his room, saying the elder sister-in-law was looking for him.

Jianguo acknowledged, but did not make a move.

"Elder brother, what’s wrong with you? Elder sister-in-law is looking for you!"

Jianbing didn’t understand why his big brother looked so distressed.

Tang Chuxia patted Jianbing’s shoulder, "Little brother, try to understand our elder brother. He’s probably adjusting his emotions right now; after all, he can’t vent the anger he has!"

Jianjun and the third sister-in-law nodded in agreement.

Jianguo chuckled bitterly, "It’s like you can read my mind, knowing that I need to vent?"

"Of course, I know. Aren’t you worried and scared about what elder sister-in-law did this time?" Tang Chuxia wasn’t about to spare his feelings and brought up the matter directly.

The third sister-in-law added, "It could have ended in tragedy, who wouldn’t be scared!"

Tang Chuxia waved her hand, "Third sister-in-law, you still don’t get it. What bothers my elder brother is that elder sister-in-law took medicine to try and have a son. Regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, our family would cherish the child. But for elder sister-in-law to medicate herself to have a boy, and then almost cause a disaster, causing so many of us to worry!"

That was the crux of the matter!

The third sister-in-law caught on, and Jianbing suddenly asked, "Elder brother, what do you plan to do then? Elder sister-in-law has already taken the medicine, but fortunately, the child is alright."

If they really started to blame each other, the couple’s relationship would definitely suffer.

Jianguo stood up and rubbed his face vigorously, "What else can I do? Just do my best!"

Right now, he just wished that the child would grow up fast, and that his wife would have a safe postpartum recovery. Elder Huang had already warned him; considering his wife’s condition, if proper care wasn’t taken during her postpartum period, complications were very likely.

After the elder brother left, Tang Chuxia quietly said to Jianbing, "Little brother, it’s the New Year, aren’t you going to visit your sister-in-law’s place to celebrate?"

Jianbing’s face turned red, "We aren’t married yet, visiting today doesn’t seem right. I’ll go see her after the third day of the New Year!"

Tang Chuxia teased him for lacking initiative, mentioning that the two families had already agreed on the match, and visiting during the New Year showed proper respect.

The third sister-in-law had heard about little brother’s betrothal and congratulated him.

"Third sister-in-law, when do you and Third Brother plan to have your wedding?" Tang Chuxia turned and asked the third sister-in-law, who was taken aback and couldn’t answer right away.

Although she and Jianzheng had long confirmed their relationship and gotten engaged, due to work and various other factors, they hadn’t yet held a wedding ceremony.

"If you ask me, Third Brother should really make it a point to prepare a grand wedding!"

Tang Chuxia’s eyes sparkled, barely hiding her desire to plan the wedding.

The future third sister-in-law laughed, "What need is there for extravagance? It’s a different era now, simplicity is key!"

Tang Chuxia sighed. A wedding is such a wonderful opportunity, likely just once in a lifetime, why not make the most out of planning it?

When the discussion shifted to marriage, everyone’s gaze turned toward Jianjun.

Jianjun nervously stepped back, "What’s with those looks?"

Tang Chuxia grabbed his arm, "Second brother, compared to Third Brother and our elder brother, shouldn’t you step it up a bit? How about Miss Bai Yingyue? Why don’t you marry your dream girl?"

Jianjun broke into a run, "What a joke, why should I marry her? Am I not fine on my own?"

He ran out of the alleyway, only relaxing once he confirmed no one was following him. His whole family was obsessed with pressuring him to marry, and he wasn’t even that old!

Jianjun didn’t go to meet his friends, but instead wandered to the big square, thinking there would be fewer people on the first day of the new year. Just as he found a bench to sit and rest, he heard people talking.

He wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but their voices carried over to him.

"Since we are both well-matched and a handsome couple, why don’t we just get married?"

The man’s voice sounded urgent.

"I’m sorry, I don’t believe that being well-matched by social standards obligates us to marry. We don’t know each other well enough, it wouldn’t be suitable."

The woman’s voice was calm and composed, oddly familiar to Jianjun as he tried to place whose voice it was. Then, he heard her say, "Besides, I already have someone I like, there’s no possibility between you and me!"

The man yelled, "Impossible, how could you have someone else I wouldn’t know about? You and Gu Beihuai definitely aren’t an item, everyone knows that!"

Jianjun perked up instantly, recognizing the name. He parted the branches and saw the two people talking.

"I indeed haven’t had anything to do with Gu Beihuai—my partner isn’t him!"

As the woman finished speaking, the man reached out to grab her arm, which she naturally resisted. In the struggle, the man pushed her, causing her to fall.

The woman closed her eyes and screamed, thinking she would hit the ground, but instead, she fell into someone’s arms.

Jianjun poked the woman’s arm, "Throwing yourself into someone’s arms during the New Year?"
