Chapter 310 Back to the Hometown (Part Three)


    "Have you seen him? Isn''t my son-inw a handsome young man? He is much better than that


    carpenter, isn''t he?" Jina asked Kay, putting on a smirk. "I advise you to pay more attention to yourself.


    Don''t bother yourself with my daughter''s marriage, " Jina continued triumphantly.

    Kay stared at Aron in confusion. He looked very familiar, but she couldn''t recall where she had met him


    before.


    Jina walked away to greet other neighborscently. "Today is my mother''s birthday. Please join us


    for dinner if you''re free, " she said to them, as she gave some gifts away.


    ''The more, the merrier, '' Jina thought to herself with delight.


    "Sure!" the neighbors responded. They still looked down upon Jina, secretly, even though they took


    gifts from her.


    Soon Jina had finished handing out all the gifts. When she was about to go inside, she heard the


    honking of car horns from a far distance. She turned around and caught sight of Becky and Mandy


    inside the car.


    Dressed like a highborndy, Mandy greeted neighbors with a smile while getting out of the car. Her


    eyes, however, were full of contempt.


    She always considered herself to be superior than the rest of them. Every time she came back, it would


    remind her that once she wasn''t a richdy but just a country bumpkin from the impoverished


    mountains.


    That''s why she rarely came back.


    This time only Becky and Mandy showed up. Mandy''s husband had onlye here once; at his


    wedding ceremony with Mandy.


    "Mom, I''ll go inside first, " Becky said to Mandy. Becky had driven Mandy here. As soon as she got out


    of the car, she saw Aron''s car and felt ufortable. Now she just wanted to hide and avoid being


    seen by somebody else.


    "Wait, Becky. Come here, " Mandy stopped Becky, gesturing with her finger toe to her. Mandy was


    sensitive about her reputation too. Therefore, she had intended to show her daughter off to the


    neighbors. However, Becky walked into the house directly as if she didn''t hear Mandy''s words.


    Mandy gave an awkward smile. However, the neighbors weren''t annoyed at Becky''s impolite behavior.


    "Becky looks more beautiful day by day. Last time you wrote to us and called the wedding off. What


    happened?" someone asked.


    "Well, about that..." Mandy said hesitantly, looking a little embarrassed. She didn''t know what to say to


    them. "They dyed it for an important reason. I will inform you of their wedding ceremonyter, "


    Mandy exined.


    "Why did you decide to postpone it all of a sudden?" the neighbor continued. "Mandy, I am telling you


    that you must urge Becky to get married as soon as possible. You know our traditions. See, I is


    almost 30 but she is still unmarried. You can''t let Becky follow her bad example, " she advised.


    "Yes, you''re right. I will talk to herter, " Mandy returned. Mandy felt like she would end up spilling the


    beans if she stayed there. "Well... I need to see my mother. I''ve missed her so much. I will see you


    Mandy was in a haste to get inside the house. "I get it now, " Kay cried out while patting her thigh, as


    she looked at Mandy''s back.


    "Kay, what''s wrong? What are you trying to say?" a few neighbors asked, as they walked up to Kay.


    "I know where I have seen that man. Did you forget him? He came here with I four years ago. We


    were told that they were going to get married, " Kay said with a sneer.


    "Now I remember him. At that time, they were in an intimate rtionship, but then, didn''t he fall in love


    with Becky?" a woman asked.


    "I finally understood why Mandy looked awkward when we mentioned Becky''s wedding. I stole her


    son-inw, " Kay went on with a grimughter.


    "She''s always trying to show off in front of us. This time she''s made a fool out of herself."


    "They have aplicated family rtionship."


    ''It seems that I will... see an interesting show in their house tonight, '' Kay thought with a cheeky smile.


    Becky understood that I must have brought Aron here. Although she tried to hide her feelings, but all


    her efforts were in vain, the moment she saw Aron and I standing in front of her hand in hand. She


    was fixated on their hands; sped to each other like an unbreakable bond.


    "Becky..." I greeted with an embarrassed expression, trying to withdraw her hand. Aron, however,


    tightened his grip to keep hers from pulling away. Before meeting Becky, the happy couple had carried


    all the gifts and presents inside and ced them near the Christmas tree. I wanted to take Aron


    around for a walk around the vige to show him the progress they had made in just the past two


    years.


    "Here you are, " I continued, feeling a little embarrassed still.


    Becky nced back at them shortly and walked straight past them without stopping.


    She was basking in the agony of humiliation. ''Aron looks so happy with I. In the four years that we


    had been together, not once have I seen him smile like that.''


    "Why did you do that?" I med, frowning at Aron. "You know that you''re just going to hurt her even


    more. Can''t you just..."


    "I can''t!" Aron said firmly. "I have waited for four years for this. Now I can finally hold your hand in front


    of everyone. Why should I let go of your hand for the sake of some insignificant person?"


    After a moment''s pause, Aron went on, "What if she can''t get past it, like ever? Do you want me to hide


    my feelings in front of her forever? Does that mean that I can''t hold your hand or share an intimate


    moment with you in her presence?"


    "I don''t mean that. I..." I muttered. ''Well, I give up. You wins, '' I thought.


    "Come on. Didn''t you say that you wanted to show me around?" Aron softened his voice.


    Soon I walked out of the back door with Aron. Mandy was having a conversation with Jina in front of


    the door when I left; she wasn''t able to see I before she went out with Aron.


    The bigke behind their house was a sight to behold. The scenery there was absolutely breathtaking.


    "Jina, I''ve brought two dresses for you. I hope that you will like them, " Mandy said to Jina. Mandy had


    married a rich man, but she was still a mean person from the heart. Every time she came back, she


    only brought them something she had previously used, such as her tonic or the old clothes she no


    longer wanted.


    She never bought any of gifts for them.


    Jina used to turn a blind eye to her impolite attitude, but since Becky had framed I, she couldn''t


    force herself to tolerate her anymore. "No, thanks. You should keep these good clothes for yourself. I


    am just a simple country folk who doesn''t deserve your expensive clothes. If I really need new clothes,


    my son-inw will buy them for me. I don''t need yours, " Jina returned with a sneer.


    "You... are so ungrateful, " Mandy said with discontent.


    "What''s going on?" a voice creeped in from behind. They looked and found Bette standing in front of


    them.
