186: If you want to see me, then see me. Xu Yao is not afraid of the stage.

"Your grandma wants to see Xu Yao?"

"Well, she said she brought you wedding gifts. She also said that she knew you were a low-key person and that she wouldn't say anything in front of Xu Yao without your permission."

Jiang Zhiyan knew what Gu Jun was worried about, and quickly explained the key points of Gu Jun's concern.

Gu Jun did not answer Jiang Zhiyan immediately. In fact, Gu Jun was a little surprised.

Gu Jun knew that the Jiang family had always wanted to bring him and Jiang Mingjia together. Jiang Mingjia knew about his marriage to Xu Yao, but she had kept the news a secret, perhaps for the sake of face or for other reasons. However, this time, Jiang Zhiyan wanted to drive Jiang Mingjia out of South City, and Jiang Mingjia was going back to the Jiang family for help, so naturally, she would not keep it a secret any longer.

The Jiang family will probably be very angry.

If Gu Jun doesn't marry Jiang Mingjia, many of the Jiang family's plans will be in vain.

Not only did this plan fail, but Jiang Zhiyan's rebelliousness was so severe that even the Jiang family's ancestors could not suppress it, and the Jiang family was even more upset.

Under these two pressures, the Jiang family might impulsively do something unseemly... For example, they might use some low-brow tactics to alienate Gu Jun and Xu Yao and force Gu Jun to become single again. To this end, Gu Jun had already given Xu Yao a heads-up, letting her know that the Jiang family wanted to seize power in Huahu, and that this conflict might very well affect Gu Jun in the process. In Xu Yao's eyes, Gu Jun was now Jiang Zhiyan's confidant!

Directly expose Gu Jun’s true identity?

If Jiang Mingjia could hold back and not say anything, then the other people in the Jiang family certainly wouldn't say anything.

After all, according to the Jiang family's thinking, Xu Yao would not divorce just because she knew that Gu Jun was the boss of Huahu. Revealing Gu Jun's identity would only make the relationship between the couple closer.

The Jiang family now wants to keep this secret even more than Gu Jun does.

Gu Jun was surprised. What a surprise! After Jiang Mingjia went back to file a complaint, it was actually Old Lady Jiang who came in person.

Old Madam Jiang was the Jiang family's anchor. The Jiang family had been able to stick together and conduct business for so many years because she was still alive. If she died, the Jiang family would undoubtedly lose their current harmony. The third generation of the Jiang family was vastly out of balance in ability. Jiang Zhiyan's early entrepreneurial success dealt a heavy blow to his peers, who were skeptical of his abilities and believed he was simply lucky.

Jiang Zhiyan drove Jiang Mingjia away, and no other Jiang family members showed up too much. Old Mrs. Jiang came immediately... It was hard for Gu Jun not to think too much.

Mrs. Jiang, are you anxious?

"How is your grandma's health lately?"

Gu Jun asked Jiang Zhiyan.

Jiang Zhiyan exclaimed, "Ah!" "She's fine. I haven't heard her family say she's unwell. She seems to be doing well. Didn't she fly to South City?"

Jiang Zhiyan was nervous after hearing Gu Jun's question and quickly recalled the old lady's mental state.

Well, it’s not much different from the Spring Festival days, so there shouldn’t be any big problem!

Gu Jun asked again: "How is the Jiang family's business recently? Are there any problems?"

Jiang Zhiyan wasn't sure. "I've never been involved in the family business, and I haven't heard of any problems. But now that you mention it, the dividends I've received in the past two years are indeed much less than before. I think with fewer shares, it's only natural that the dividends are lower."

But when Gu Jun mentioned it, Jiang Zhiyan felt that the dividend seemed too little, and it was not right to calculate it based on the proportion of share reduction.

Jiang Zhiyan is not short of money now. Secondly, he is forced by Gu Jun to be responsible for various external affairs of Huahu every day and has no time to spend money. If Gu Jun didn't mention it, he would not notice how much dividends he got from the Jiang family every year.

"Something's wrong."

Jiang Zhiyan muttered: "Then are you still taking Xu Yao to see my grandma?"

Gu Jun smiled and said, "Why not? Didn't the old lady say she had prepared a gift? If there is a gift, it won't be a loss to meet her."

Jiang Zhiyan's expression was quite interesting.

"You're so rich, yet you're still so stingy..."

"If I keep doing this, I can get richer."

Gu Jun's answer left Jiang Zhiyan with no way to refute.

…

Of course, Gu Jun was joking with Jiang Zhiyan.

The desire to take Mrs. Jiang's gift was fake, but the real intention was to change from passive to active - with Mrs. Jiang's personality, even if Gu Jun refused to see her, the old lady would probably still find a way to meet Xu Yao.

In that case, it would be better to meet openly!

In Gu Jun's heart, Xu Yao is a hundred times better than Jiang Mingjia. After Mrs. Jiang met Xu Yao, she understood why he did not choose Jiang Mingjia.

Gu Jun told Xu Yao about the matter, and Xu Yao was certainly not stage-frightened.

"Old Madam Jiang wants to see me? Then go ahead."

The Jiang family will definitely blame her for taking away the husband they chose for Jiang Mingjia.

That old lady Jiang might even say something unpleasant.

However, Xu Yao was not afraid.

She can't just give up Gu Jun because of a few words from others, right?

You wish!

Xu Yao imagined a lot of possible situations, and the expression on her face could be described as "determined"!

Gu Jun told her not to be too nervous, but she just smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing."

Before meeting Old Lady Jiang, Xu Yao went to the studio as usual. Perhaps her fighting spirit was too strong and it was slightly revealed. Xiao Ling asked her timidly, "Sister Xu Yao, why do you look like you are going to a war? Has anyone offended you?"

Xu Yao thought, isn’t it just about going to war? The name of this war is “Defending Marriage”!

"You're overthinking it. No one has offended me. I'm just thinking about this because I have a social event tonight."

Xu Yao denied Xiaoling's statement, but Xiaoling didn't believe it.

Some social events are even more smelly than war. The person Sister Xu Yao is entertaining tonight must be very difficult to get along with.

…

Xu Yao was no stranger to grand occasions; she knew that sometimes dressing too formally could be counterproductive. As an online influencer, she paid close attention to her outfit and makeup. When she met Old Lady Jiang, her attire was no different than when she went to the studio.

Before leaving, Xu Yao thought about it and decided to put on the emerald ring that Gu Jun gave her. This was the only jewelry she wore today.

Actually, you can wear this emerald ring or not. Old Mrs. Jiang has seen all kinds of good things.

Xu Yao thought that this ring was bought by Gu Jun, and it matched her clothes today!

"Will it be embarrassing for you to meet Old Madam Jiang like this?"

Xu Yao spun around in front of Gu Jun, who praised her generously: "You are well-dressed and have a great temperament."

Xu Yao was satisfied. This was the effect she wanted today.

Jiang Zhiyan arranged the meeting in a private club in the city center. Old Mrs. Jiang was not wearing many jewelry. She was slightly plump and her facial skin was slightly tighter than that of other old ladies of the same age, but she had all the wrinkles that an old lady of her age should have.

Time has endowed Old Lady Jiang with wisdom. She is not at all as aggressive as Jiang Mingjia. When she saw Gu Jun and Xu Yao walking into the box together, Old Lady Jiang looked like the most amiable grandmother in an ordinary family.

"You must be Gu Jun's wife, you are so pretty. Come, come, come and sit next to me, an old woman!"
