Chapter 4 "Why is it you who is my wife?"

At noon that day, Jiang Yao took a short nap in the office. He opened his eyes on time, stretched his muscles, took a few sips of the mocha brought by his secretary, and then took out a small watering can to water the lush evergreen tree next to his desk.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the leisurely and comfortable afternoon indicated that his gloomy mood had mostly cleared up.

The phone on the table vibrated twice.

His childhood friend Chen Yiqi sent him a message, asking him to go out and have fun on Saturday.

Jiang Yao: "I'm busy on Saturday. I have to meet someone."

Chen Yiqi: "Who is it? A client again? You've been working overtime for more than ten days. Aren't you afraid of sudden death?"

Jiang Yao: "To see my wife."

The next second, Chen Yiqi threw out dozens of question marks.

Jiang Yao stood up and put the spray bottle back in the cabinet. After Chen Yiqi finished his outburst, he slowly typed, "To be more precise, my future wife. I might be getting married."

After sending the message, the name at the top of the chat box immediately jumped to "typing" and remained like that for more than a minute.

The message that popped up was just two words: "Congratulations."

During this minute, Chen Yiqi did type a lot of words.

For example, "Who is the partner?", "Why so sudden?", "Just blink if you are forced to?", "Do you need a brother to help you escape the marriage?"

But they were all deleted in the end.

He and Jiang Yao grew up together. Apart from Chen Tang, he had never seen Jiang Yao like anyone else, but Chen Tang was already a married man.

Coming from a family like theirs, few people have complete control over their own marriages.

The two people are twisted together by interests. They can either cooperate politely as a formality or become a couple of enemies with cold brows.

It's a good thing that Jiang Yao can think so open-mindedly from a certain perspective. Why would he come up with some bad ideas that would affect his brothers' mentality?

Besides, there have been countless examples of people running away from home, having their financial resources cut off, and having to eat a few coarse meals, but they still returned and got married. No one is willing to give up this overwhelming wealth that they were born with.

Chen Yiqi: "If it works out, please remember to tell my future sister-in-law about it for me."

Jiang Yao leaned against the desk and lazily replied "OK~".

Chen Yiqi is a man who can't keep his mouth shut. Within a few minutes, several of his regular friends came to inquire about what was going on.

In order to prevent others from lining up to ask, Jiang Yao simply sent a "blind date notice" to the group and notified everyone one by one.

When he said he might get married, he received a bunch of shocked “congratulations”.

*

Perhaps it was some kind of escapist mentality that was at work, but in the next few days, Jiang Yao never asked who the man he was marrying was.

His parents seemed to be taking care of his feelings and never mentioned each other's information on their own initiative.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the day when I was going to meet my marriage partner.

Jiang Yao sat in the car, holding his mobile phone, playing cards with Chen Yiqi and another friend, and won three consecutive games.

Chen Yiqi commented on the public screen: "This luck is really amazing. Even if you step in dog poop, you can still smell good. It seems that our Brother Yao is going to marry a good wife."

A friend said, "It would be best if she was someone who could handle both housework and family matters, gentle and well-behaved, and not cause trouble. She definitely didn't want to be like the two from the Lu and Gu families, who were both so absent from home and divorced after just a few months, causing such chaos."

My friend was referring to the eldest grandson of a real estate tycoon and the young son of a private bank.

Rumor has it that the two had never met in person, and that on their wedding day, the Gu family's son even married the wrong person. To this day, their failed marriage has become a laughing stock within the entertainment industry.

Jiang Yao had never worried about this situation.

After all, the chances of two people, brought together by mutual interests, becoming lovers who support each other as well as enemies who are extremely jealous of each other are both extremely slim. In a sense, Lu and Gu can be considered "the chosen ones."

Jiang Yao: "I'll borrow your good words."

He was in a good mood when he won the cards, and laughed with the corners of his lips curled up, not at all like an unlucky guy who was forced into marriage.

The car entered the last section of the road.

Yuan Li nagging in Jiang Yao's ear: "Yaoyao, I'm a serious boy who sticks to his duties. Be polite when we get to the restaurant. Don't scare me."

Jiang Yao freed one hand from playing cards and waved it impatiently: "I know, Mom, I'm already giving you face by dressing like this."

At his mother's urging, he deliberately abandoned his usual flashy fashion style and only wore a thin ginger sweatshirt with casual pants. He didn't even use hairspray to style his hair, letting his bangs fall on his eyebrows.

Except for the red highlight at the end of his hair, he looks like a student who has never entered society.

His mother always calls his marriage partner "boy", so he must be young and easy to handle, so it's not a bad idea for him to follow suit.

The dining venue was a very elegant Chinese restaurant.

The car slowly drove into the area for attracting VIPs, and the doorman came forward attentively to help park the car.

After getting off the car, Jiang Yaozhu stood two meters behind Jiang Qingtian and Yuan Li, and walked towards the garden room on the first floor, accompanied by the pleasant sound of the pipa.

Cross the path and reach the door, just in time to get ten consecutive wins and end the last game of cards.

“Nice!”

Jiang Yao raised his head proudly, his gaze looking over the heads of his parents.

Then, the bright smile was sealed on his lips like cement.

In the room filled with tea smoke, sat a man as conspicuous as jade.

Jiang Yao almost lost his grip on the phone and fell forward in two or three steps, as if he had been kicked hard in the butt.

Looking at the elegant Duan Zhuxian in a suit and tie, Jiang Yao cursed in front of the whole room:

"Fuck, why are you my wife?"

Seeing that some people are interested in the Gu and Lu families, I also opened a pit for them, "You Be Quiet", which is also a warning of the love after marriage. You can see it in my column, you can add it to your collection first - 2024.3.19
