Chapter 231
231 i’m here with my girlfriend
As soon as they got out of the car, someone came to lead the way. Yuxi must have arranged it in advance.
Soon, they arrived at the courtyard where everyone was gathered.
It was not convenient for Shi Yan to wear a gown. After pushing the wheelchair for a while, Jiang Lin took over the job. Shi Yan had to follow him to the side.
When they arrived, other than Jiang Muchen, everyone else from the Jiang family was there, even Yuxi and Xuan Liuying.
su yunzhi and su mu were nowhere to be seen.
everyone heard the movement and looked over. when they saw who it was, their eyes lit up.
everyone in the jiang family, except old mrs. jiang, stood up.
“Fifth uncle!” Jiang Sheng, Jiang Rui, and Jiang Heng spoke at the same time.
Jiang Qing and his wife, as well as Jiang Fan and his wife, felt that it was inappropriate to call Jiang che whatever they wanted, especially since they were in someone else’s house. They were afraid of exposing Jiang Che’s identity.
even though many people had already guessed his identity.
But even if they didn’t say anything, it wasn’t hard to see their attitude towards Jiang che when they stood up together.
it was filled with respect and fear.
Jiang che nodded slightly, and they sat down one after another.
“Yan!” Jiang Rui happily lifted her skirt and walked towards Shi Yan.
jiang rui was wearing a pink princess dress and a crown.
He was obviously the main character of the day.
Shi Yan gave her a faint smile, then looked at the old lady and Yuxi, who were sitting in the main seats, and greeted them.”grandma jiang, third young master yu.”
the old lady’s gaze shifted between her and jiang che, her feelings inevitably complicated.
They were a perfect couple, just like old fifth’s status.
Recently, many people from the capital had appeared in Haicheng, and she knew very well that they were here for old fifth. The Jiang family of Haicheng was also one of the organizers of the Yu family’s banquet today, so there would probably be many people who wanted to find out about old fifth at the banquet.
When Chen xuyao showed up with Yan, she would definitely become the target of those people.
“yan, you’re here. come and sit.”
The old lady called out to Shi Yan and then glanced at the wheelchair Jiang che was in.
she could guess that he was sitting in the wheelchair again because he wanted to have some peace and quiet for a while.
Zhao said that Chen xuyao asked her to move Yan’s things to the bamboo garden, and Yan was still in school. They were both calm and peaceful, so it was good to have some peace.
The old lady actually didn’t agree with Shi Yan moving into the bamboo garden, mainly because Shi Yan was still young. however, this was jiang che’s decision. the old lady knew that it was not something she could control. furthermore, shi yan was also a sensible person with ideas. since shi yan did not object, she could not say anything.
Shi Yan nodded in agreement.
jiang rui had already pulled shi yan to sit with her.
yu xi was the host, and he sat in the main seat. the old lady sat on his left, which was also considered the main seat. there was an empty seat on his right.
Jiang Lin pushed Jiang che towards that position.
there were no outsiders here, so jiang che got up and sat in his seat. jiang lin pushed the wheelchair to the side.
Yu Xi personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang che.”i thought you would come later.”
jiang che took the tea calmly and said,”i’ll accompany my girlfriend.”
There was no fluctuation in his tone, and there were no other emotions, but Yu Xi felt that he was showing off.
therefore, the corner of yu xi’s eyes twitched without a trace.
he ignored jiang che and looked at shi yan, who was sitting not far away.
The girl was elegant and gentle. She was talking to Jiang Rui in a low voice. He didn’t know what they were talking about, but the two of them were smiling very happily.
Putting everything else aside, in terms of appearance and temperament, Shi Yan was the most compatible with Jiang che among all the girls he had seen.
she glanced at shi yan’s dress, then at jiang che’s outfit today. her gaze lingered on his tie for a few seconds. she thought to herself, it’s really different after falling in love. people who are indifferent and have no desires are starting to care about these small details.
The two of them spoke in a familiar tone, which surprised many people present.
“the third son of the yu family and fifth son know each other?” the old lady asked.
“We had a lot of business dealings in the early years, so we have some friendship.” yu xi replied.
Yu Xi respected the old lady.
“So that’s how it is.”
although she said that, old mrs. han could tell that the two of them were not just friends. even in the capital, there were not many people who dared to be as calm and skilled as yu xi when they knew jiang che’s identity.
moreover, the old lady knew what kind of person jiang che was.
there weren’t many people that he treated as friends.
he had a new evaluation of yu xi’s ability in his heart, and then he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that the children of the yu family were really dragons and phoenixes among men.
“Yu Xi, I’m sure you’ve heard about Rui ‘er and Cheng. What do you think?”
in fact, the old lady had only arrived a short while ago. they had just made some small talk and were about to get to the main topic when shi yan and jiang che arrived.
yu xi took a look at jiang rui and said, ” the children of the yu family are not stupid. they should know what to do. besides, rui ‘er is already an adult. she has the right to decide her own life. although i am her third uncle, i will not interfere in her life. ”
Rui ‘er grew up in the Jiang family. I know very well how the Jiang family treats her. Besides, you’re still here, old Madam. Rui’ er won’t be at a disadvantage.
“With your words, I know what to do. Ah Sheng and Rui ‘er used to be siblings after all, and with the sudden change in their relationship, there will be gossip. They are both children I’ve taken care of, and I can’t allow anyone to gossip about them.”
” so, my plan is to directly announce the marriage between the two families at the family recognition banquet later. what do you think? ”
although the old lady was discussing with yu xi, her voice was not soft and everyone present could hear it clearly, including xuan liuying who was talking to kong xiang xiang and fang xiao yu.
xuan liuying had already taken over all the businesses she had handed over to su yunzhi. she had been busy with the matter and had come into contact with many people. naturally, she had heard a lot of news, including the change in the relationship between jiang rui and jiang cheng.
she had probably guessed it long ago, so when she really heard it, she was not too shocked.
He was definitely worried in his heart.
therefore, when jiang rui came to the yu family just now, she went to talk to him alone.
Before she could ask, she heard Jiang Rui call her ” mom “. She couldn’t care about anything else. Her eyes turned red and tears fell. She cried for a long time before she stopped.
she learned from jiang rui that jiang cheng didn’t force her. she was happy to be with him. she even said that she had been possessive of jiang cheng since they were siblings and didn’t want others to take away the good things jiang cheng had done for her.
Since Jiang Rui had already said so, what else could Xuan Liuying say?
She only wished for her daughter’s well-being. Why would she do such a thing to break up the couple and make her daughter sad?
As long as her daughter could acknowledge her and call her ‘mother’, she would be satisfied and have no other requests.
Xuan Liuying also knew that she and Jiang Rui had just reunited and did not have much feelings for each other. Compared to their relationship that they had only met a few times, Jiang Rui’s feelings for the Jiang family and Jiang Cheng were definitely deeper. If she spoke too much now, Jiang Rui might be even more unwilling to get close to her.
