Chapter 33
What’s With That Wench? Why Is She Still Raised in the Jiang Family?
Lin Zhaoyan turned around and saw Madam Jiang who was dressed brightly. She immediately revealed a solicitous smile and greeted her warmly, “This must be the in-laws. She’s so beautiful and dressed so beautifully.”
Madam Jiang could not hide the disdain in her eyes. “You are—”
Lin Zhaoyan pretended not to see her disgust and introduced herself enthusiastically. “I’m Qingqian’s aunt. You can call me Younger Sister.”
Madam Jiang frowned tightly and sized her up carefully. This woman was dressed in rags, her skin was extremely rough, and her hair was like withered grass. No matter how she looked at it, she looked much older than her and actually took the initiative to say that she was the Younger Sister. Wasn’t she basically calling her old?
“Aiyo, Older Sister, I’m not taking advantage of you!” Lin Chaoyan explained with a smile. “Don’t judge me based on how old I look. I’m still young.”
The word “old” made Madam Jiang’s face darken.
Women hated it when others said that they were old, especially a rich lady like Madam Jiang, who goes to the beauty salon almost every week to maintain her looks. How could she listen to others say that she was old!
However, Lin Zhaoyan acted as if she didn’t know anything and kept addressing her as Older Sister in an affectionate manner. Madam Jiang almost couldn’t maintain her expression. She gritted her teeth and kept cursing in her heart, this annoying shrew who came out from the corner of the mountain, for being crude and stupid!
Li Ruzhu was completely ignored by her. However, she was part of the younger generation, so it was not appropriate for her to take the initiative to speak at this moment. She could only grit her teeth and curse in her heart.
Lin Qingqian did not expect her aunt to anger Madam Jiang to this extent. She lowered her eyes to hide the smile in them. Before Madam Jiang fell out with her, she said, “Aunt, eat some breakfast first.”
“Aiyo, it’s not that I don’t want to eat. It’s just that I’m not used to the breakfast in your big city. I’ll make another one.”
Lin Chaoyan didn’t care about Madam Jiang’s expression at all. She continued to ignore Li Ruzhu and chatter.
“I even specially brought an old hen and two fresh fish from my hometown. They’re still alive and kicking! Aunt will cook your favorite boiled fish for you at noon!”
Before Lin Qingqian could speak, Jiang Yanshen spoke first. “Aunt, let the chef handle the fish. Don’t work so hard.”
“Aiyo, how can that do!” Lin Chaoyan said as she walked towards him, “How can your chef know how to cook our fish? Moreover, our Qingqian grew up eating the fish I made. She doesn’t like fish cooked by others!”
Jiang Yanshen: “…”
A servant walked over with a bowl of bird’s nest that had just been stewed. “Madam, the bird’s nest is ready.”
Just as Madam Jiang was about to reach out to take it, Lin Chaoyan came forward. “What Madam? If you call her Madam, what do you call my Qingqian? You have to address her as Old Madam. You really don’t know the rules!”
Old… Madam!
The corners of Madam Jiang’s mouth twitched violently, and the servant looked embarrassed.
Lin Zhaoyan looked at the bowl of bird’s nest again. “Aiyo, this is bird’s nest. I’ve only seen it on television. I’ve never eaten it before…”
“Little Aunt…” Lin Qingqian realized that she was going too far and could not help but remind her.
Jiang Yanshen stood up and said, “If Auntie likes it, I’ll get Song Qin to prepare a set for you after the wedding.”
“Aiyo! That’s too embarrassing!” Lin Chaoyan hurriedly waved her hand and pretended to decline.
Lin Qingqian turned to look at the man in the jacket, a trace of surprise appearing in her eyes…
He had brought her aunt over for the wedding!
Until now, he still insisted on holding this wedding!
“I still have something to do at the company. Aunt, stay here in peace. If you need anything, feel free to tell the butler,” Jiang Yanshen said indifferently. He was considerate and could not find any flaws.
Lin Zhaoyan nodded. “Go then. A man should prioritize his career.”
Jiang Yanshen glanced at Lin Qingqian and turned to leave without saying a word.
Lin Zhaoyan watched him leave before looking at Madam Jiang. “Older Sister, I’m going to make breakfast. Do you want me to make one for you too?”
Her tone was as if she was the host here and they were the guests!
The corners of Madam Jiang’s mouth curled up into a forced smile. “There’s no need. I still have something to do and have to go out. Help yourself.”
With that, she instructed the driver to prepare the car and left with Li Ruzhu.
After they left, the servants went back to the kitchen. Lin Zhaoyan elbowed Lin Qingqian. “What’s with that little wench? Why is she still raised in the Jiang family?”
