Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 212

Jiang Chujing didn't know how she got out of the bedroom. She only knew how humiliated she was. She was kicked out by Li Han. She even saw disgust in his eyes.

He hated sleeping with her.

This sent a chill to Jiang Chujing's heart. It seemed that at this moment, she realized the huge difference between her and Shu Tian in Li Han's eyes.

He could only see Shu Tian?

Jiang Chujing smiled and thought in her mind, 'Okay, then just wait. If I cannot change his mind through tenderness, don't blame me for being cruel!'

[...]

After sleeping at home for a night, Shu Tian woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes. She had no idea if it was because she hadn't come back for a long time, she was not used to sleeping in this bed that she had slept in for more than ten years.

The bed in Imperial Villa was softer than the one at home. She had lived there for half a year so she was not prepared when she suddenly changed the bed.

It was the New Year's Eve. There were also some relatives that would celebrate it with them. Shu Changlei, who was the second child in the family, had two brothers. They all would bring their family members to visit him. Every year, there would be a bunch of people together, celebrating.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was arranged in a hotel not far from home. It was not particularly spacious, but it was well-decorated. They went to order what to eat and picked up cakes on the way.

"Your uncle's son came back this year. I was told two days ago that he stayed in England for two years. I heard he got a master's degree in economics there and couldn't be perkier now." Ye Lihua shook her head and her tone was somewhat helpless. "Your grandmother prefers her eldest son and grandson. She must be happy this year."

Shu Tian knew about Ye Lihua's situation at home all these years. Ye Lihua had suffered a lot when she was young. Shu Tian heard that when Ye Lihua was born, Shu Tian's grandmother seldom visited Ye Lihua. Shu Tian took her mother's cracked hand, and comforted her, "Mom, I'm here with you."

"Well." Ye Lihua sighed. She didn't want her daughter to see her sadness. She turned to look out the window. "Your father and I have been together for so many years. It doesn't matter anymore."

Shu Tian didn't know what to say to comfort her and could only hold Ye Lihua's hand tightly.

[...]

At seven o'clock in the evening, people arrived at the hotel one after another. Shu Tian was waiting at the door to greet her relatives.

Her uncle's family was the last to arrive. In addition to her cousin Shu Minglei and her aunt, they also brought Shu Minglei's girlfriend over.

His girlfriend was petite, about 1.6 meters tall. Although her facial features were not outstanding, her skin was very fair. She looked gentle and sweet, and thus adorable.

Shu Tian was a little surprised, but she still welcomed them into the room politely. At this point, the whole family finally arrived and the family dinner officially began.

Shu Tian wondered the meaning of her aunt's words. Perhaps she was just straightforward and brainless, but no matter what, her words made Shu Tian uncomfortable.

Since Shu Tian entered the room, no one had talked about the divorce. Everyone avoided this sensitive topic intentionally or unintentionally. However, her aunt commented on it and acted like she derived great pleasure from talking about that.

Usually, she wouldn't care. But in front of Ye Lihua, Shu Tian couldn't bear it any longer and politely retorted, "Auntie, I'm super flattered. No matter how outstanding I am, I can't compare to my cousin. He has a successful academic career. He even has a girlfriend now. Is he going to get married next year?"

Her aunt immediately covered her mouth and smiled. "Not so fast. It depends on how he studies abroad were."

If he was not prepared for marriage, why did he bring his girlfriend home now?

Ye Lihua had already seen Shu Tian through and glanced at the two young men. "Minglei is old enough to get married."

"There's no hurry." Auntie meaningfully glanced at Shu Tian. "Now the young are in such a hurry to get married and thus many of them get divorced soon. There is nothing to lose for them to slow down and know each other better. After all, Tian is suffering from getting married too early..."

Ye Lihua, who had suppressed her anger for a long time, finally exploded. She could say something about her daughter's unsuccessful marriage, but other people were in no position to do that!

"Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear that. What's wrong with Tian? Divorce is a common occurrence now. It's all their choice and others have no right to judge them. Besides, now Tian has a new start, why did you mention that again?"
