Jiang Tian's performance tonight is quite in line with the image of a daughter-in-law in her parents' eyes.

Otherwise, his mother wouldn't be so satisfied with Jiang Tian and would have given her money.

When the two sides were discussing the bride price and dowry, neither side was too extravagant. After all, the profits from that project were immeasurable, and compared to the huge profits, the bride price and dowry were just a formality.

The Cheng family offered a dowry of ten million yuan in cash, plus some shares and real estate, but the Jiang family refused to accept it and let Jiang Tian take it back.

The dowry that Jiang's father gave to Jiang Tian was not much, at least not as much as that of his second daughter, Jiang Ying.

It should be noted that several years ago, Jiang's father had already stated that he had prepared a dowry of hundreds of millions for his daughter, Jiang Ying.

The net value of the company and other assets that Jiang Tian received is unknown, but it's unclear whether it's around five million.

After receiving the betrothal gifts, Jiang Tian returned them all to Cheng Yanzheng.

Cheng Yanzheng had no intention of taking it.

When their contract ends, he will give Jiang Tian a portion of the betrothal gifts.

In any case, the two are legally married, and he won't leave his wife with no money.

"Take this card; it's a token of our elders' goodwill."

Cheng Yanzheng said to Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian didn't answer him, but just smiled and put the card in his car.

"No need, I have money. You should save this money for your future real girlfriend."

Cheng Yanzheng wanted to persuade her again, but seeing that Jiang Tian was a little tired, he didn't say anything more.

After the meal, Luo Nianzhen and Jiang Tian started contacting each other more often, and Cheng Yanzheng would often catch Jiang Tian talking to her on the phone.

After spending this time together, Cheng Yanzheng gradually came to understand Jiang Tian's personality.

She is a quiet person.

Moreover, she has a strong sense of boundaries.

Even though they lived in the same house, she respected Cheng Yanzheng very much, as if she were a guest. She would ask Cheng Yanzheng for his opinion on every little detail before taking any action.

Even if she wanted to put some green plants in the living room, she would first ask Cheng Yanzheng if he agreed.

Only after he nodded did she bring a few green plants into the living room.

Jiang Tian has a strong sense of boundaries and is tactful in her dealings. She never changes the placement of any items in the public areas. Every time she gets home from get off work, she goes upstairs quietly without disturbing Cheng Yanzheng's freedom of movement.

Moreover, she keeps her room spotless, lives a very independent life, and manages her personal space very well.

Without a doubt, Jiang Tian is a very competent roommate.

Even though the two of them had started living together, Cheng Yanzheng would occasionally overlook her existence.

The distance between the two was kept within a relatively reasonable range.

In their shared living environment, Jiang Tian always remained aloof, rational, and restrained; Cheng Yanzheng rarely heard her raise her voice.

But as soon as she received Luo Nianzhen's call, she immediately put on a mask and became the warm and cheerful wealthy daughter-in-law in other people's eyes.

"Yan Zheng is here, he's watching the game... Me? I'm watching with him... I don't really understand it, but watching together is always more interesting than watching alone..."

Cheng Yanzheng was indeed watching the game. He saw Jiang Tian walking downstairs, and with such an infectious tone, he guessed that she was his mother.

"Honey, say hello to Mom."

Jiang Tian smiled and handed him her phone.

Cheng Yanzheng took the phone, and the two exchanged a few words. His expressions were very brief, usually just one or two words, and he quickly handed the phone back to Jiang Tian.

"Oh dear, boys are all so shy and not good with words. He keeps talking about you... Did you eat the snacks I had someone send over the other day? How did they taste?"

Cheng Yanzheng listened as Jiang Tian deftly deflected the question and quickly shifted the topic to desserts, his face expressionless.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Tian finally hung up the phone.

"If you have any questions about my family, I can tell you."

Cheng Yanzheng looked at her intently.

Anyone with a normal sense could see that something was wrong with the atmosphere in his family.

Jiang Tian had almost become best friends with her mother-in-law, but she had never asked her a single question.

“No need. If it’s a big matter concerning your family, your mother and father should tell me. If it’s just a secret between the three of you, then I have even less need to know.”

Jiang Tian looked at him and said, "We are just collaborators. I don't like to pry into other people's privacy."

Cheng Yanzheng fell silent and did not speak.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs now?" Jiang Tian quickly regained her relaxed and natural demeanor.

"Wait a minute," Cheng Yanzheng called out to her.

Jiang Tian turned around in surprise.

When she came downstairs, she was wearing a simple nightgown, her long hair was loose, and her fair and delicate face was without makeup, making her look very harmless.

But Cheng Yanzheng knew that this was not the time for her to relax.

When she relaxes, her face is expressionless, her eyes are like deep pools, exceptionally calm and cold.

When the two were working together, Jiang Tian treated him with the same respect she would show a client, and he understood that.

However, he still asked one question—

"Do you not really like Chinese food?"

Jiang Tian was genuinely surprised this time, and she quickly realized... "Why would you ask that?"

“These past few days, you’ve been making excuses to avoid the breakfasts I make. I have some doubts.”

Cheng Yanzheng is a person who sees things through to the end. He believes that since the two of them are living together, it's no problem for him to treat her to a meal.

However, Jiang Tian rarely accepted the food he offered.
