Chapter 232
she could also see that the jiang family treated jiang rui very well and did not change their attitude towards her just because her identity was exposed. it was not easy to find a family that treated their daughter-in-law as their daughter, and she had no reason to object.
“if rui ‘er and my sister-in-law don’t have any objections, i don’t have any objections either.” Yu Xi said.
jiang cheng sat beside jiang rui. hearing this, the two looked at each other. jiang rui replied, ” “i don’t have any objections,”
So several pairs of eyes looked at Xuan Liuying, especially Kong Xiangxiang who was sitting with her. Her eyes were eager, and she almost asked her to nod.
among these people, the one who hoped the most for this to happen, other than jiang sheng and jiang rui, was kong xiangxiang.
she was jiang cheng’s biological mother, and she knew her son very well. if this didn’t work out, she believed that jiang cheng would really force her to stay by his side. at that time, not to mention being gossiped about, his good family would probably be torn apart.
among these people, the most shocked one was jiang heng, who had just taken a leave of absence from school to attend the banquet and heard the old lady talk about the marriage between the two families. he only found out that his brother and sister had suddenly turned from brother and sister into a couple.
if it wasn’t for the fact that there were so many elders here and it wasn’t his turn to speak, he would have directly questioned her. god knows when he heard the old lady suddenly mention the marriage between the two families and saw that everyone seemed to be aware of it. he was so shocked that he almost spat out the tea he had just drunk.
seeing that everyone was looking at her, xuan liuying felt an inexplicable pressure, especially when jiang rui was looking at her.
she took a deep breath to calm herself down. instead of answering immediately, she asked jiang rui, ” “rui ‘er, have you thought it through?”
“Mom, I’m serious about my brother.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t say anything. He just held Jiang Rui’s hand tightly.
hearing her call for her mother again, xuan liuying’s eyes turned red and her voice choked. alright, since you’re serious, mom will support you.
He looked at the old lady and Yu Xi. I don’t have any objections either. Yu Xi, you can make the arrangements as you see fit.
The matter was settled just like that.
Yuxi and Jiang che were drinking tea and chatting. The old lady went over to play mahjong with Xuan Liuying, Kong Xiangxiang, and Fang Xiaoyu. Jiang Qing, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Muchen, who came after them, were chatting. Jiang Heng finally got the chance to get to Jiang Cheng’s side.
“big brother, big sister, i only went to school for a few days. how did such a big thing happen? You guys, you guys are so cowardly!”
jiang cheng held jiang rui’s hand tightly and looked at him indifferently. ” “Why do you care so much, kid? Focus on your studies.”
Jiang Heng’s expression was a little twisted as he looked at the two of them holding hands.
In the past, his brother used to hold his sister’s hand like this. He had never felt anything wrong with it, but now, he felt strange no matter how he looked at it.
thinking of the past, jiang heng looked at jiang sheng like he was looking at a pig’s trotter.”Big brother, from the looks of it, you’ve been coveting my sister for a long time? you, how could you do this!
He wanted to say this, but when he met Jiang Sheng’s cold and indifferent eyes, Jiang Heng didn’t dare to.
Jiang Rui looked at him, who wanted to be angry but didn’t dare to. She couldn’t help but laugh. alright, Jiang Heng. I’m the one who’s coveting you. I’m not even angry, so why are you angry? ”
“jiang rui, are you stupid?” jiang heng glared at her.
He was trying to say that his brother must have secretly taken advantage of Jiang Rui in the past, but this idiot didn’t understand!
” jiang heng, how dare you call your sister by her full name and call me an idiot? are you looking for a beating? ”
Jiang Rui wanted to hit him, but Jiang Cheng stopped her. ” jiang rui ‘er, you’re wearing a gown. be more ladylike and stop fooling around! ”
jiang rui’s gown was not like shi yan’s, which had a button collar. her neckline was very low, and if she lowered her head and hit him, it would be easy to expose her.
from jiang cheng’s angle, he could see it very clearly.
her ears turned red, but her face darkened.
Shi Yan watched them play for a while, then leaned against the sofa with a teacup in her hand and looked at Jiang che, who was sitting in the main seat.
Sensing her gaze, Jiang che, who was talking to Yu Xi, looked at her.
with a smile in her eyes, she patted the spot beside him. ” “miss shi, come and sit.”
shi yan shook her head.
It wasn’t far, only two to three meters away.
Sitting here was just right, she could see him clearly when she raised her eyes.
Although she shook her head, her eyes were still on him. Jiang che did not force her, but the smile in his eyes deepened.
yu xi, who was watching from the side, was very curious.
He had been wondering what it would be like for two indifferent people to be together, but it turned out that this was how they got along.
it was just a glance, but it gave people the feeling that they were the only ones in the world.
Ah Che’s behavior was more than just shangxin.
He was afraid that his heart had fallen.
Shi Yan didn’t back down. She was sitting there, clearly unaffected by Jiang Rui’s fuss. Her eyes were full of ah che.
Her gaze was completely on ah che, the infatuation in her eyes unconcealed.
this was quite different from the feeling shi yan gave people.
Jiang che and Yu Xi drank tea and chatted occasionally. However, he would look in Shi Yan’s direction from time to time, responding to Shi Yan’s gaze that had been on him.
Every time their eyes met, there would be a faint smile hidden in their eyes.
jiang cheng got up and left to talk to jiang muchen. jiang heng sat in his seat, which was next to jiang rui. the two of them noticed shi yan’s actions and looked at her in unison.
Shi Yan held a cup of tea in her hand and took a sip from time to time. She sat upright with her back against the sofa.
but she looked at jiang che with a mocking gaze.
really, it didn’t match her elegant temperament.
Jiang Rui looked at it for a moment and couldn’t help but lean over.”Yan, don’t you think you’re looking at my fifth uncle too directly?”
fifth uncle could actually bear it. if it were any other man, how could they bear to be stared at by a beauty like this? and this beauty was the apple of their eyes.
“did i?” shi yan asked with a faint smile.
“yes, there are!”
jiang rui lowered her voice and said suggestively, ” “If you really want to stay with my fifth uncle, you can sit next to him. You don’t have to accompany me.”
shi yan did not seem to hear the flirtatious tone in her words. she smiled and said,”i’m not going.”
If she really went over, Jiang Zhi would probably take her away alone.
what others saw was jiang che’s gentle and gentlemanly side. only she noticed that his usually deep and quiet eyes were shining with a misty light. when he looked at her, there was a sense of tipsy awkwardness, with a hint of a strong sense of invasion.
she didn’t dare to go too far. while she was talking to jiang rui, shi yan retracted her gaze and stopped staring at him.
“are your roommates and meilian here yet?”
” the banquet is at five o ‘clock. they said they’ll be there on time, so it’ll probably be a while. ” Jiang Rui said.
it was only three o ‘clock.
jiang rui looked at shi yan and asked,”are you a little bored?” if i had known earlier, i would have asked you to come later. i thought that you would be able to help, but i didn’t expect that third uncle and my brother had already made arrangements. i don’t need to care at all. As for the guests who arrived earlier, this is the Yu family, so it’s not my place to entertain them.”
“why don’t we walk around?”
Shi Yan glanced at the long skirt, shook her head, and said with a smile,”forget it, it’s not convenient.”
“Why don’t we have another mahjong table?” Jiang Heng suggested.
“Just the three of us?”
“Yan, do you know how to play Mahjong?” Jiang Rui asked Shi Yan.
“i don’t really know.” this was the truth.
She could understand it a little, but she really didn’t know how to read it.
