Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 585: Auntie Meets Yunqing

Zhan Yingying laughed for a while before straightening up, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips. She looked at Zhan Mengyan and said, "Zhan Mengyan, you're doomed today. Mom, my cousin's wife, and Dad will beat you to death."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhan Mengyan shrugged. "Let them kill or beat me as they please. I'm the one who 'kidnapped' them."

"Why?" Zhan Yingying asked, the wind ruffling her hair.

“Because your sister is unhappy, you are unhappy when you sit down. Your nods and forced smiles are all saying ‘help.’”

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, her eyes were full of heartache.

Zhan Yingying was silent for a moment, sunlight brushing across her profile: "...Zhang Defu is actually not a bad person. My cousin's wife said he is reliable, and his family's financial situation... is definitely as my cousin's wife said, not bad."

"Is 'not bad' and 'not bad' the only reason you'll spend the next few decades eating, sleeping, having children, and growing old together? Sister, you're looking for someone to spend your life with, not someone reliable, not a qualified business partner you interviewed. The way you were sitting there just now looked like you were attending your own funeral."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, her eyes became misty.

"Then where are we going now?"

Zhan Yingying looked at the sparrows flying by in the distance and asked softly.

"I don't know, where do you want to go? Go get some fresh air, do something unplanned and meaningless, but something that makes you feel 'alive'. Anyway, I've 'kidnapped' Yingying today, Miss Hostage."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she held Zhan Yingying's arm tightly.

Zhan Yingying finally relaxed completely. She shook her head, tilted her head back to face the fierce wind, letting it tousle her long hair, and then she said softly, "Thank you for coming to me, sister."

The two sisters walked hand in hand, aimlessly moving forward, but they knew they were heading towards freedom. At this moment, there was no Zhan Yingying on a blind date, only Zhan Yingying who had just succeeded, temporarily lost but breathing smoothly, and her "lawless" accomplice sister Zhan Mengyan.

The food at the Zhang family banquet had gone cold, the drunkards had sobered up, but the sisters' escape was only just beginning.

"Sister, come with me to see Auntie and Sister Yue'er?"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, it was as if she had suddenly remembered something important.

The two sisters arrived at their third aunt's house, only to find Yunqing already sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in their aunt's house.

When Zhan Mengyan saw Yunqing's face turn deathly pale, she turned and tried to run away.

"Zhan Mengyan, you stop right there! What? You think you can run away when you see me?! Weren't you quite capable at the Zhang family's house? You forcibly dragged your sister away in front of everyone, with so many people watching. You've completely disgraced the Zhan family's upbringing!"

As Yunqing spoke, she glared angrily at Zhan Mengyan.

"Fourth Aunt, don't be angry. Look, the child is frightened. Let's talk this out. Can't we talk this out?"

As Auntie San spoke, she lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and laboriously tugged at Yunqing's clothes with her withered fingers.

"Fourth Aunt, have some water and calm down. Getting angry is bad for your health. My mother has a short temper, and now she's so sick she can't get out of bed. You have a heart condition, so you can't get angry either. Seeing my mother like this breaks my heart, but we can't take her illness away from us. We have to take care of our own health."

As Zhan Yue spoke, she handed Yun Qing a cup of tea with one hand and patted Yun Qing's back with the other.

“Your mother is blessed even though she’s sick. Look how filial and obedient her daughters are. Third sister-in-law, you are truly a blessed person. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your good life in the future.”
